Chapter 129: Champa Rice

Lin Yu nodded, and seeing that there was no threat outside the courtyard, he asked Uncle Qi and Uncle Yutian to go back to the house for dinner first.

She slowly paced back to the stove room.

Apricot had already put the lunch prepared for Qi'er into the food box, and Lin Yu told her to be careful, and asked Zhang Qing to accompany her.

Everyone was distracted by today's events, Uncle Yutian and Brother Quan De Sanshun were not working in Lin Yu's house, but because Lin Yu often helped them, they were naturally very worried about Lin Yu, and they were still thinking that those rich masters were coming violently, and they must be unwilling to give up, and they were ready to help Lin Yu guard the courtyard gate.

Now that even the county magistrate is on Lin Yu's side, although everyone's hearts are still trembling, they are also proud.

Because Uncle Yutian and the others did not follow up in the house, they were all extremely curious about how the county magistrate made those rich men change their attitudes, Uncle Qi told a few people about it, and everyone who listened directly was stunned for a moment, and finally they all applauded the county magistrate's profound righteousness.

Qi'er came back in the evening, and also knew about it, and secretly hated that he was too young to pass the imperial examination.

Lin Yu saw him gritting his teeth, afraid that he would be blinded by hatred, so he comforted him around the corner and told him some inspirational stories. Qi'er has now read a lot of sage books, but fortunately, when Yan Gu was there, he often told him some strange things, and Lin Yu also taught him from time to time, taking him to do some farm work, so he did not become sour and rotten, but sunny and cheerful, and knew how to use reality and books flexibly.

Hearing Lin Yu tell him a little story again, he also understood the meaning of Lin Yu, knowing that she was worried about herself, so she explained to her that she just wanted to make herself stronger, so that the eldest sister would not be bullied in the future.

Since then, Qi'er has become more and more serious in reading, but fortunately, she also knows how to combine work and rest, so that Lin Yu has less to worry about.

The family has also had a bumper harvest this year, with tens of thousands of catties of grain, and several granaries built by Lin Yu are full.

With food, it is equivalent to having a lot of money, seeing so much food, Lin Yu mentioned in his heart again, although there are two family workers, but the manpower is still too little, afraid of accidents, Lin Yu let Uncle Qi and Zhang Qinglu brothers tinker with the first tax grain, and then found a grain shop, sold most of the grain, and exchanged it for silver.

It seems that the notice of Changdou to collect grain was posted on the second day, and the farmers who came to look for the forest fish tenant field disappeared all at once, and it is estimated that they all went back to the original owner's house.

The grain of the county magistrate, within two days, let the official bring it, and really brought the expert who planted the Zhancheng rice, and told the forest fish farming expert surnamed Chen, a person from Quanzhou, Fujian, because of the highest yield of Zhancheng rice planted in his hometown, known as the rice master, this time by the county lord invited by the county magistrate with a lot of money, in order to teach the skills, and so that the people here will plant, but also have to go back, so there is not much time left, let the forest fish prepare earlier, must learn all the planting skills.

Lin Yu didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly asked Zhang Qing to collect the grain seeds, and set up a room for the farming expert.

took out some broken silver to give a few officials as a thank you gift, and wanted to leave them for a light meal before going back, but a few officials were like the county magistrate last time, and said that they still had important things to do, so they hurried back.

Chen Daoye is also the first time to plant Zhancheng rice in the Jianghuai region, although he has full of experience, but he is also afraid that the soil quality here is different, and the crops will be mistaken, so he let the forest fish only divide a few acres of fields out to plant.

This intention is in Lin Yu's arms, she asked Zhang Qing and the Lu family brothers to follow Dao Ye every day, and then found Uncle Qi and Uncle Yutian, and asked them to help write down Dao Ye's experience.

Lin Yu also likes to run in the fields, and she wants to see if the ancient way of growing rice is different from the modern one.

Chen Daoye came from other places and did not speak official or local languages, so he gestured to let Zhang Qingjiang plow out a small acre of land first, and then fill the river with water, which was not much, but soaked in mud. He led the people to gather the ploughed land into a boxy area, sprinkled rice seeds, poured diluted farm manure, and covered the grass with a blanket.

It was also a little difficult for the forest fish to communicate with him, only from his analogy, he knew that it was too late to raise seedlings at this time, in fact, as early as when the wheat was not harvested, he should first vacate part of the field to sprinkle the rice seeds, fortunately, the temperature was high, and the seedlings came out quickly.

Lin Yu hurriedly asked Uncle Qi to record this article, so as not to miss the season when planting next time.

A few days later, the rice seedlings grew out, because the sun was high, Chen Rice Field was removed from the grass, every morning and evening had to be watered, and after seven or eight days, the rice seedlings grew as tall as a calf, Chen Daoye asked Zhang Qing and several people to fill the vacated fields and water them again, ploughed out again, and finally poured the same farm manure.

After waiting for another two days, the seedlings began to be loaded, and this time, the forest fish finally saw the difference from modern planting.

Chen Daoye took Zhang Qing and a few people to pull out the seedlings and prepare to transplant them into those acres of fields, but the water in those acres of fields is also not much, and even the ankles are not flooded.

Fortunately, Chen Daoye has lived here for so long, although he can't speak the local language, but there is no problem to listen, listening to Lin Yu's question, he was also very surprised, and said that this Zhancheng rice is extremely drought-resistant, and many people in their hometown are not irrigated, but after the ground is wet, they will be planted directly, at most, they will learn from themselves, and they will be splashed into irrigation.

Lin Yu asked him to plant the seedlings first, and then try to pour water from the field up to his ankles.

Chen Daoye's curiosity and courage are great, he likes to try various farming methods the most, otherwise he would not be able to become a rice master, because the first time he heard such a remark from Lin Yu, he was very interested, and after the seedlings were planted, he couldn't wait to water and try.

Half a month later, Chen Daotian replenished the seedlings in the field, and then poured fertilizer, conscientiously tended to the rice field, and explained to the forest fish how to prevent the seedlings from getting sick, and how to deal with them when they got sick......

The busy days passed quickly, fortunately, there was Chen Paddy Field, the seedlings did not appear any disease, and did not encounter natural disasters, two months later, the rice in the rice field was fruitful, full of fruit, and it looked very gratifying. R1152
