Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sweet Potatoes
After getting off the ferry, Gao Zhong and the three of them walked directly in the direction of home. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After walking for another half a day, Gao Zhong returned to the village.
Yang Sanlao was still sitting under the yellow cypress tree in front of the village, drinking hot tea. Zhang Youke is still studying hard in his bamboo house, and from time to time there are a few faint words of reading, but the little scholar doesn't follow Zhang Youke much now, and he is alone under the yellow cypress tree, reviewing the martial arts given to him by Gao Shangwu.
As soon as Gao Zhong walked to the head of the village, the little scholar found Gao Zhong and immediately shouted loudly: "Young Master, Gao Zhong is back, Gao Zhong is back." ”
"I know, what's it called!"
Zhang Youke put down the book after hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he shook his clothes and stood up, ready to walk out of the bamboo house.
But after thinking for a while, he walked back, sat back in his seat, picked up the book, and continued to read.
The little scholar didn't notice this detail, and he happily ran towards Gao Zhong.
Yang Sanlao, who was sitting under the tree, also heard the voice, and also stood up, and followed behind the little scholar with a smile.
"Gao Zhong, how did you do in the exam, my young master is very concerned!"
The little scholar ran to Gao Zhong with a smile and asked Gao Zhong.
When Yang Sanlao, who was following the little scholar, heard such a question, he also looked at Gao Zhong curiously, waiting for his answer.
Before Gao Zhong could speak, Gao Shangwu rushed up: "It's just a county test, Brother Zhong won the first place, it was the first place in the county test, and now I come back to study hard, and I will go to the government exam in a few days!" ”
"The head of the case, the head of the case, the eldest young master is really the head of the case!"
Hearing the answer given by Gao Shangwu, the little scholar ran towards the bamboo house again.
Case head!
Although it is only a county exam, the content of the prefectural exam and the county exam is roughly the same, especially in the boundary of Fuzhou.
"Good baby, good, good!"
Hearing this, Yang Sanlao immediately nodded towards Gao Zhong in praise. As an old boy, he knows the importance of this case. Although the head of Fuzhou's case is to choose a tall one from the short, it is also a talent carefully selected by Fuzhou.
I didn't expect that there was another case leader in the village, if the Gao Zhong Mansion Examination and the Academy Examination could also be performed normally, it should be possible for Zhongxiucai.
High school is already nine years old this year, if you are nine years old and you are a showman, don't say that in Fuzhou, I am afraid it will be the first one in the entire southwest.
But when I think about it, there is no Mr. Xiangshu in the village now, and even if he is a talent, it is impossible to go to the village Xiangshu to teach. Looking at Gao Zhong's appearance and existing relationship, most of them are to conduct in-depth scientific research and achieve fame.
"I know, I know!"
At this time, the scholar's shouting finally made Zhang Youke's voice again.
Listening to the voice, Gao Zhong walked directly towards the bamboo house, walked to the window, looked at the book that had been put down, looked at Zhang Youke with a smile, Gao Zhong waved his hand and said: "Don't dishonor Master Zhang's teachings, the county test has won the first result." ”
"Yes, but don't be proud, choosing one of the two is not much effort. Besides, Fanyu's baby is not as spiritual as you, but that baby is sincere, not as slippery as you. If you are careless and forget yourself, you will definitely regress. Let's go back to eat first, rest for a day, and come back tomorrow, you have to prepare for the school exam......"
Zhang Youke said to Gao Zhong, and after finishing speaking, he picked up the book again and began to read.
Seeing such a posture, Gao Zhong had no choice but to wave his hands and say goodbye, and then said goodbye to Yang Sanlao, said goodbye to the little scholar, and walked directly in the direction of home.
At this time, it was past noon, but the farmers in the village had not yet gone out, and some were having lunch at home.
When she returned home, Gao Qiaoer rushed directly to Gao Zhong, pinched Gao Zhong's face, and tears fell: "It's only been a few days, and you've lost so much weight when you go out......"
Gao Zhong laughed: "No, Ah Niang, my clothes have been smaller recently, and I have gained a lot of weight!" ”
However, Gao Qiao'er still carefully checked several times before she was convinced of what Gao Zhong said, and then went to the kitchen to prepare a hot meal.
After lunch, Gao Zhong walked out into the courtyard to inspect the corn and sweet potatoes he had planted earlier.
At this moment, the corn has been born, the green leaves are growing very well, and the sweet potatoes have begun to stretch out the young leaves, which is also very good.
Just grow it up.
Gao Zhong smiled when he looked at the cornmeal that was already five or six centimeters high.
The Three Jewels, an important reason why they are called the Three Jewels, in addition to their high yields, also has an important factor. All three of them can be planted at the same time, reducing the waste of soil labor.
According to the current method of planting potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes in the village, potatoes are generally planted in autumn and winter, and corn is generally planted in spring before and after the Qingming Festival, and sweet potatoes are planted during the Dragon Boat Festival.
When the potatoes ripen around Qingming and the Dragon Boat Festival, the fertility of the land is just supplied to the corn, and the corn matures after the Dragon Boat Festival, and then the fertility of the land is attacked by the sweet potato.
In this way, at the end of the year, it is equivalent to planting three crops of crops, and all of them are high-yield crops. In addition, when planting corn, vine vegetables such as green beans and cowpeas can be planted on the side, and the yield is said to be good.
This is the true reason why the Three Treasures are called the Three Treasures, in addition to high yields, as well as the use and adjustment of farmland, it can be said that only the Chinese people in the world have brought the Three Treasures to the extreme, so that the crumbling Qing Dynasty continued its life again and again!
"By the way, Zhong Wazi's potatoes have been sent out, and they are densely packed with leaves, and they look very good!"
Gao Qiao'er saw that Gao Zhong was moving corn and sweet potatoes, so she walked over and said to Gao Zhong.
"I know, I can go and pour some fertilizer in a few days, just the inside of the manure pit!"
Gao Zhong thought for a while and responded to Gao Qiao'er: "Wait until the leaves grow up and then pour some, wait for the potato leaves to start yellowing, and when they become dry, you can dig them, and the potatoes before the Dragon Boat Festival must be all dug up, otherwise the potatoes will not be cooked after the Dragon Boat Festival, and you will be very hungry." ”
"I know, what are you going to do with these two things?"
Gao Qiao'er looked at Gao Zhong and continued to ask: "I saw this little seedling grow, but I didn't dare to pull it out, and I didn't dare to splash dung, so I could only keep it." ”
"This little seedling is called corn, but you have to look at it, there are only a few seeds, you can drench some fertilizer in a few days, wait until it grows up and drench it a second time, and wait until it has smallpox on its head, it is to prepare the third and last fertilizer!"
Gao Zhong slowly explained to Gao Qiao'er.
