Chapter 116: Gambling Fight, Planting Beans and Reaping Beans (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Bai Ji patted his ass and left with the ticket. In addition to the potatoes left, they were also given a lot of rice and salt, which they needed the most. One stone of rice, one bucket of salt. In terms of value, it is only more than thirty dollars, which still makes the old farmer Yan red-eyed.
Lao Nongyan has lived for more than thirty years, and all kinds of characters have also been seen. If they can collect a little less land tax every year, they all have to sing praises. Like Bai Ji, who is so generous and takes the initiative to send things to them, I have never seen it......
In the past few days, under Bai Ji's ideological education, all the monks have thought about curing diseases and saving people. It's not that Bai Ji's education is so successful, it's purely that the group of strong men next to him are all holding swords, staring at them with fierce eyes, and they can't give face. If you cry on the spot, you can add chicken legs at night.
In addition to basic medical skills, they also know how to grow potatoes. As an aspiring alchemist, if you don't know how to grow auspicious rui, what's the difference between that and salted fish?
Jingshui Pavilion left four monks, and they are now in a group of four. One master, three apprentices. The master is responsible for seeing the doctor, and the apprentice is responsible for teaching them to grow potatoes. I don't have other skills, but at least I'm literate, isn't it?
How to plant, how to fertilize and water, Chun Yu Yue can be recorded in detail. Follow the bamboo slips, and there will be basically no problem.
Thinking that the rock's legs and feet were not good, the pavilion guard also helped carry the things home. Before leaving, I drank two bowls of cold water, and then hurried away. The four walls of the house are bungalows made of rammed earth.
came back and told his own fine gentleman about it, and the two of them were excited to hold the potatoes and couldn't sleep. The fine monarch and the lover are both the titles between husband and wife, the fine monarch was more formal before the wife of the princes, and now the head of Qiantou can also be called the fine monarch.
The age of thirty years is at the peak of spring and autumn in later generations, but the hard farm work makes them full of vicissitudes. Touching the rake, Yan's eyes flashed with tears, and he saw that it was a good plow.
There is also refined salt as white as snow, and a large vat of rice. With food, there is hope to live. Now it is a time when the harvest is scarce, and every family has not enough food, so they have to wait for autumn grain.
It's rare to have a luxury back in the evening, and eat bean rice. Sprinkle some salt on top of the rice, and then dig a spoonful of lard, and the meal is very enjoyable. Yandu felt that he was floating, and he couldn't do it tomorrow.
When he was full, he had the strength to work, and the next day Yan got up early in the morning and carried the Quyuan plough to Yutian. The ploughing cattle have been prepared well in advance, and they can be completed in half a day at most.
When the neighbors next to him heard about this, they couldn't help but ask, "Yan, what potato cup did you really participate in?" ”
"Hey, hey."
Yan smiled and nodded vigorously, set the rake in place, and gently patted the cow's butt with a willow branch. The farmers next to him were all envious, and a few of them put down their work and came up.
"This is the Quyuan plow?"
"Shhh What a good plow! ”
"Look at the soil turned up a lot, the ploughing is very deep, and the cattle are not struggling."
"Can we have this rake?"
Ploughed fast, much faster than their rakes!
"The king said, hand over the rake and you can change the plow. If you don't have a rake at home, you can cut some suitable wood. Taking advantage of the time, Yan talked to them, "After handing it over to the pavilion chief, the pavilion chief will arrange it." Go early, get it early, use it early, enjoy it early. ”
This line was naturally taught by Bai Ji, and he remembered everything Bai Ji said. Several people praised them again and again, and they carried the plow and rake to change it later.
The existing rakes were bulky and could have been modified by carpenters to save a lot of material. Give the excess to them, and take it back as firewood.
"You're going to plant auspiciousness later?"
"Yes!"
"Well, I heard that there will be a penalty for less than thirty stones, but you have to think clearly." A young man couldn't help but remind him, with a slight sour taste.
He planted more than 30 acres of land at a young age, and he was a well-known handsome child, and even many families rushed to marry their daughters to him. It's a pity that Bai Ji didn't look for him this time, but instead found the rock he looked down on.
"Duh!"
"Be careful!"
An elderly lieutenant next to him knocked him on the head and scolded angrily: "The king has a good heart, how can he punish him?" This potato is well cultivated, and the yield per mu is forty stones! ”
"That's what you planted! Can we grow it? ”
He was still very unconvinced, thinking that ordinary people couldn't grow it at all.
Yan's little temper suddenly came up, "Xiangrui is a gift from the king, and the yield per mu is also measured by many courtiers, and it will definitely be planted!" ”
In fact, Iwa has a good temper and is a well-known good old man, who has never had a bad relationship with anyone. It's just that he heard that the other party couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour and belittled Xiangrui, which made him very angry.
To belittle Xiangrui, that is to say, the king is not. If the king is not, then he will play with the other party!
The two refused to back down from each other, and finally Yan is face was red and his neck was rough and he rushed angrily: "What if the old man exceeds thirty stones?" ”
"I'll give you half a stone bean!"
"Let's bet on this half of the stone bean, and the rank can be a witness."
This is not about the beans, but about the reputation of the white millet. They have heard more or less about auspicious things, and there are all kinds of rumors. The law of potatoes was added to the "Law of Fields", which talked about the planting method and the approximate yield, and said that the yield per mu was 35 stones.
They are all farmers who have been working with crops since childhood. It's good to look at the yield per mu, but the main thing is to see how to plant. If you plant well, you will have a high yield. Fertilizing insects and hoeing weeds, how easy is it to want high yields?
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, it is simply impossible to have such a high yield. Not only these farmers are suspicious, but many small officials are also speculating in their hearts.
Even if this yield is true, it must be related to white grass. They are just a group of bitter haha, they don't know immortal arts, and they definitely can't grow so much. It's normal to have this kind of thought, but isn't there something similar in the afterlife?
However, Iwa does not believe in this evil!
Bai Ji has no shelves and treats people generously. Quyuan plough is so easy to use, say send it. Knowing that they were having a hard time, and they were given salt and rice, where did they go to find such a good master's house?
He said that this potato can yield forty stones per mu, so it will definitely be possible! Yan didn't believe in others, but he was convinced of what Bai Ji said.
The young man snorted and left directly, not to mention forty stones, even if it was thirty stones, he was convinced. After serving the crops for so many years, five or six stones can be regarded as a bumper harvest, and suddenly a thirty or forty stone suddenly comes out, who is to lie?
"Iwa, are you sure? Half a stone bean! ”
Someone couldn't help but speak, half a stone bean is not a small number. Yan's family is not rich, what if he really loses?
Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, waving willow branches to urge the ploughing oxen, "Impossible! This is auspicious, and I don't know how many people covet it. The king handed it over to me to farm, and that was to look up to the old man. ”
He didn't believe it if it was another person, but Bai Ji would never be fake. Thirty stone is nothing, his goal is to have a minimum of forty stone!
