Chapter 467: Helping each other
The people of Yucheng will have to rely on sweet potatoes to live in the next few days, how dare Lu Xiaoyao treat these as child's play, in modern times, most people grow sweet potatoes like this, she has also planted them, so she is naturally very confident.
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao say this, the villagers of Hejia Village were still a little hesitant, because after all, this was a big deal, and everyone didn't want all their efforts to be in vain.
The atmosphere fell silent, including Herizheng, who did not speak, and a group of people lowered their heads in contemplation.
Lu Xiaoyao Everyone was thinking, she didn't make a sound, if the people in the Shelf Village really didn't believe in herself, then she had to think of other ways to start implementing it from other villages.
"Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao."
Just as everyone was thinking, a few calls came from the back of the crowd, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was the villagers of Liujia Village who shouted Lu Xiaoyao, and when they heard that Lu Xiaoyao came to Hejia Village to teach everyone about planting sweet potatoes, the people in Liujia Village were also curious, and a few people stood outside the crowd to watch.
After the people of Hejia Village fell silent, the people of Liujia Village whispered for a while, and one by one they became excited, and when they shouted at Lu Xiaoyao, when Lu Xiaoyao noticed them, the people of Liujia Village spoke loudly.
"Mrs. Zhao, if the people of Hejia Village really don't believe you, then start with our Liujia Village, our Liujia Village is willing to give everyone an experiment and take the lead in planting sweet potatoes."
Liujia Village suffered heavy losses in this flood, and now they are relying on the relief of people from various villages and the imperial court, so they have no scruples, whether to plant sweet potatoes or not is not a big deal for them, and there is still a glimmer of hope if they plant, if they don't, there is no hope at all, so several people in Liujia Village discussed it and sat down to decide.
After the voice of the people in Liujia Village fell, then He Lizheng also spoke up, "Mrs. Zhao, our family can grow sweet potatoes according to your method, and I will let them cut sweet potato seedlings now." ”
After He Lizheng opened his mouth to Lu Xiaoyao, he opened his mouth to his son and daughter-in-law to instruct, although He Lizheng's son and daughter-in-law were still a little hesitant, but at home, He Lizheng had the final say, and they generally did not dare to refute, so they immediately nodded, put down the sweet potato seeds, and the two couples went to cut the sweet potato seedlings.
He Lizheng's family implemented it, and several families agreed to test Lu Xiaoyao's method one after another, Lu Xiaoyao relied on the imperial court behind him, and when the time came, there was no yield of sweet potatoes, and they couldn't starve to death, and some people agreed after figuring this out.
Except for some conservative people, almost all the people in Hejia Village agreed to test Lu Xiaoyao's method, which was unexpected.
When she saw that everyone was skeptical just now, Lu Xiaoyao was even thinking that if everyone was really unwilling to take a risk, then forget it, she would start from Liujia Village.
Although the land in Liujia Village is not sandy, but with fertilizer, it can also grow sweet potatoes, but when the time comes, it will be a little harder to dig, but I didn't expect that there are still so many people in Hejia Village who agreed to take the risk.
Lu Xiaoyao slowly showed a smile on his face, and beckoned to the people in Hejia Village, "Please believe me, since I have given you this method, then I am sure that I can increase the yield of sweet potatoes, if there is no harvest of sweet potatoes by then, I am willing to pay my own money to make up for everyone's losses during this time." ”
With Lu Xiaoyao opening his mouth like this, who would suspect anything in Hejia Village? Almost everyone agreed instantly, and some people hurriedly stepped forward to help, starting the experiment from the land of Lizheng's house first.
Lu Xiaoyao was also happy when he saw everyone's enthusiastic appearance, and after saying a few words to He Lizheng, he took He Lizheng to the front of the villagers of Liujia Village.
After the villagers of Hejia Village agreed to give it a try, the villagers of Liujia Village fell down, pulling their heads one by one, and they couldn't remember standing in place until they heard Lu Xiaoyao's voice.
"There are extra sweet potato seedlings here in Helizheng, you also go to help cut them, watch me plant them later, and after you learn them, you can take them back and plant them in the field of your Liujia Village, and when the sweet potato seedlings I cultivate grow up, you will be responsible for teaching your village how to plant sweet potatoes, do you hear?"
After Lu Xiaoyao's voice sounded, the villagers of Liujia Village were stunned, looking at Lu Xiaoyao in disbelief, and when they heard He Lizheng's voice, they knew that they had heard it correctly.
"Let's go and cut the seedlings with me."
To help the people of Liujia Village, He Lizheng still has no other ideas, after all, they are the two closest villages to each other, and it is good to support each other in something.
"Go ahead." Lu Xiaoyao also said to a few villagers.
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao and He Lizheng's words, the villagers of Liujia Village were shocked to realize that they had not heard it wrong, Hejia Village was pulling them along, and they had properly helped them once.
"Mrs. Zhao, thank you! He Lizheng, thank you! ”
The villagers of Liujia Village hugged their fists and said gratefully, their eyes flashed with tears, this time Liujia Village encountered a catastrophe, and it was really Hejia Village that helped a lot, and everyone remembered the kindness of Hejia Village.
The villagers all went to get busy, cutting the sweet potato seedlings, digging the ground, and the villagers dug the land according to the method taught by Lu Xiaoyao.
For a whole afternoon, the villagers were busy in Helizheng's field, everyone was learning the method of growing sweet potatoes taught by Lu Xiaoyao, and after learning it, they went back to their own fields to start planting sweet potatoes.
The villagers of Liujia Village have also learned how to grow sweet potatoes, and He Lizheng has sent them a lot of sweet potato seedlings, all of which are divided from the sweet potato seedlings planted before.
After the seedlings are scattered, everyone expects a good harvest of sweet potatoes, and hopes that their efforts this time will not be in vain.
When the villagers of Liujia Village went back, Lu Xiaoyao took them to Helizheng to check the fertilizer pool, and also handed over the method of making fertilizer to them, and asked them to go back and start making fertilizer.
The villagers of Liujia Village were grateful to Dade for their gratitude to Lu Xiaoyao and He Lizheng, so they returned to their village with sweet potato seedlings on their backs and passed back the method of making fertilizer.
The villagers of Hejia Village have also learned how to grow sweet potatoes in the geography of Helizheng, and in the future, everyone can grow sweet potatoes by themselves.
After teaching everyone to grow sweet potatoes, Lu Xiaoyao had nothing to do in Hejia Village, and after a few words with He Lizheng, he asked people to send her back to the county seat in a carriage.
He Li Zheng mastered the methods of making fertilizer and growing sweet potatoes, and he also taught these methods to the villagers, and also helped Liujia Village, which also made Lu Xiaoyao very happy.
