Chapter 381: Farm Gossip (2)

"What's not to do?" Oriya asked rhetorically, "I have been with these boys every day these days, don't look at them all very strong, but when they are free, there are also people who will avoid crying noses, I know, that must be thinking of their fathers and mothers, you just sew and mend for them, and have time to have a meal together, you treat them as sons, and they will naturally treat you as a mother." ”

Aunt Zhang stayed for a while, then raised her hand and slapped her leg hard, "Yes, why didn't I think of it before!" I'll go to Xiaozhi and talk to him later. ”

It turned out that this Aunt Zhang, who was Huahua's mother, followed Zhiwen to Zhuolu Mountain and had settled down, but her son died tragically, and her daughter was gone.

It's not that I didn't think about adopting a few orphans before, but I didn't take care of it on the way to escape, and when I arrived in Zhuolu Mountain, I was very busy, so I gradually forgot about it, and when I remembered it, most of the orphans went to the team, and the team members had a very high status in Zhuolu Mountain, so she also lost her mind.

"Thank you, Brother Oriya." Aunt Zhang said, and then patted her head, "Oh, you said that my brain, I was so happy by your idea that I forgot all about business, come on, come on, this is for Habala." ”

With that, he took out a few purple objects from his arms and handed them to Oliya.

"It's... This can't be done," Oliya hurriedly pushed back, he knew that this was called sweet potato, it was a kind of grain grown in the mountains, it had just matured in the past two days, and it was being harvested, "Sister-in-law Zhang, this is Brother Zhang's hard work, it's not easy for everyone, let's keep it for yourself." ”

"Take it, Brother Oriya." Brother Zhang walked out of his small courtyard and took it to the courtyard door, holding a hoe in one hand, a flat pole on his shoulder, and two big dustpans at both ends, "This thing, there is a lot of land, I planted ten acres, even if I pay thirty percent of the seed fee, I can't eat it all." ”

"That's it, you're welcome, Brother Oriya." Aunt Zhang couldn't help but say, and stuffed the sweet potato in her hand to Habala, as the old saying goes, "know etiquette and etiquette", Aunt Zhang used to be so calculating, after having stored food, people are also much more hearty and generous.

"It's best to eat it roasted, it's fragrant and sweet, but it's easy to get hot if you eat too much," Aunt Zhang went on to pass on her experience, "If you're afraid of getting hot, you can eat it steamed." ”

"That's... Thank you Brother Zhang, sister-in-law Zhang. Oliya thanked him, and said to Habala, "Don't thank you Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang." ”

"You're welcome." Brother Zhang had already walked to Oliya's side, the expression on his face was mixed with joy, satisfaction, pride, and deep admiration, "Brother Oliya, now there is no shortage of food in our family, guess how many catties of grain can I collect from ten acres of land?" ”

"I don't know." Oliya shook his head honestly, he didn't understand the facts of farming.

Brother Zhang stretched out a finger and shook it proudly.

"A thousand pounds?" Oliya asked tentatively.

"Isn't it me?" Brother Zhang said unhappily, "If only 1,000 catties of grain are harvested from ten acres of land, I can be drowned by someone with spittle, and tell you, how can I not be less than 10,000 catties." ”

Oliya was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, ten acres of land to collect 10,000 catties of grain, that mu yield is 1,000 catties, although he does not understand farming, but common sense is still there, no matter how good the land, one acre can only have more than 300 catties of harvest, such land, that is all treasure land, the quantity is very rare.

Can there be such a good land in this mountain, with a yield of thousands of catties per mu, and it will all be returned to the brother in front of him? Olia is unbelievable.

As soon as Brother Zhang saw Oliya's expression, he knew that he wanted to be crooked, "What do you think?" Let me tell you, in Zhuolu Mountain, the yield per mu of every family is about this number, and those who work hard to serve the land can exceed a thousand, and those who are not attentive enough have eight or nine hundred. ”

"You think it's the credit of the earth, tell you, it has nothing to do with the land, it's the credit of Zhiwen, it's the divine food he let us plant, so we can have so much harvest." Brother Zhang's eyes were already filled with little stars, which was a look of reverence.

"Isn't there another grain called potatoes?" Oriya's voice trembled a little, and he was also shocked by this output, "So much?" ”

"Almost." Brother Zhang replied with a smile.

After defeating the bandits, the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the spring of Zhuolu Mountain were ripe and entered the harvest season, and since then, Zhiwen's reputation and status in Zhuolu Mountain have further increased, especially in the hearts of these farmers, what he said is almost equivalent to a holy decree.

At present, the news of the harvest of these two high-yield crops is still limited to the mountains, and when it really spreads, Zhiwen is really famous, which is not difficult to understand, think about the reputation of Yuan Longping in later generations, at this time in the agricultural society, Zhiwen can make a thousand catties of grain per mu, and he doesn't need much water, and he is not too much to be worshiped and valued.

This is a real reputation, and no one can slander it, not even the high-ranking scholars, who use the system to exert the so-called supernatural powers, and deceive fools and fools compared to the fame they have obtained.

Of course, this also led to ill-intentioned coveting and trouble, which is a later story.

"How much grain can Zhuolu Mountain harvest this time? Brother Zhang, you do the math for me. ”

Brother Zhang glanced at Oliya embarrassedly, "I can't figure it out, but Mr. Li Zhili has calculated it for everyone, if we open four thousand acres of land before the beginning of spring, then we can harvest four... Four million catties of grain, by the way, it is said that whether it is sweet potatoes or potatoes, it can be planted for another season immediately, and that year is eight million catties. ”

Eight million catties!

Oliya's brain couldn't imagine how much food there was, when he first arrived in Zhuolu Mountain, he saw that people were thriving, he was still a little worried, afraid that the food would not be enough to eat, and now this worry has been thrown out of the clouds.

The decision to follow Zhiwen to settle down in the Central Plains was really wise, and Oliya was secretly happy.

This brother and sister-in-law can have 10,000 catties of grain, even if they hand over 30 percent, there are 7,000 catties, how to eat, Oliya can't help but be a little envious, but thinking of himself as the head of the bow and horse, what is this every month, yes, it is called salary, and it is not a lot, Oliya was immediately relieved.

"Yo, they're all here." The Hun family of Oliya also came out of the courtyard at this time, and couldn't help but say that they were holding Aunt Zhang with one hand and Habala with the other, "Let's go, Sister-in-law Zhang, go to work." ”

got the sweetness, but her spinning strength was higher than anyone else, and she couldn't even take care of the man next to her.

"Gotcha." Brother Zhang picked up the flat burden and took the hoe, "You go to work, the Oriya brothers go out of the mountains to herd the horses, and I, continue to collect grain in the field." "Half of the ten acres of land have been harvested, and in a few days, it will be harvested.
