Chapter 118: Spring Tour
Jiang Long rode his horse and waited at the intersection of the farm with everyone.
After a while, a tall carriage slowly drove out of the farm.
When the carriage approached, the curtain was gently lifted, revealing Lin Ya's beautiful face.
Jiang Long nodded lightly at Lin Ya as a greeting, then shook the reins in his hand and walked in the direction of the fruit forest.
The treasure in the carriage let go and lowered the curtain.
It wasn't until the curtain blocked Jiang Long's figure that Lin Ya withdrew her gaze.
There is a hint of joy in his beautiful eyes, it seems that Jiang Long's spirit has improved much in the past few days, and his face is a little more rosy, and he is no longer sick.
She remembered that after marrying into Jingfu, when she saw Jiang Long for the first time, Jiang Long seemed to have trouble even opening her eyes.
After a while, I came to the orchard.
Jiang Long looked left and right and found that this orchard should be five or six hundred acres.
This is not small, there are apricot trees, pear trees, apple trees, peach trees, etc.
But no one reported to him before, so it seems that there should be no gain.
Jiang Long thinks about it, there are many wild fruit groves around the capital, and when the fruit is ripe, someone will pick it and sell it for money.
If you want to come, you can only pick it up and eat it by yourself.
The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted from the inside, and Lin Ya saw Jiang Long smiling, standing in front of the car and reaching out to help him.
Stretching out her white and tender jade hand and gently placing it on Jiang Long's warm palm, Lin Yaqiao's face flew with a touch of crimson.
After getting out of the carriage, Lin Ya lowered her head and quickly withdrew her little hand.
The two walked side by side into the orchard.
The apricot blossoms are still in full bloom and white, but some of them are beginning to show signs of drying up.
Baozhi waited for the maid ring brought by Lin Ya, as well as the guards who came with him, all consciously distanced themselves from the two.
Lin Ya took the initiative to invite Jiang Long to come to the green, but she was silent all the time, and whispered: "The last time my husband was in the apricot forest, the two poems he chanted were the most incomprehensible in the world. ”
"Then the husband took the scene of your apricot blossom flying to make the falling flower man independent, and the swifts flew together, aren't these two poems good?" Jiang Long joked with a smile.
Lin Ya raised her slender head and glanced at Jiang Long with disgust.
"It's because it's written about you, so it's hard to say?" Jiang Long raised his hand and removed a petal that had fallen on Lin Ya's shoulder.
"When these two lines of my husband's poems are spread, I don't know how many people will make fun of the concubine." Lin Ya replied.
Jiang Long hahadaxiao, "That's because they haven't seen you, and they don't know how beautiful you are." ”
"The concubine body doesn't want to be missed by too many people." Lin Ya remembered King Huai.
"It's fine." Jiang Long saw through her thoughts, reached out and patted Lin Ya's shoulder gently, "It's not your fault that you are beautiful, and don't you believe that your husband can protect you?" ”
Lin Ya glanced at Jiang Long, then lowered her head again, "The concubine believes it, but she doesn't want to cause trouble to her husband." ”
"Confident, strong, strong people are never afraid of trouble!" In an instant, Jiang Long's body erupted with an awe-inspiring domineering aura, which made Lin Ya, who had raised her head again, a flash of brilliance in her beautiful eyes, "Only a cowardly and incompetent, inferior, and timid man will be afraid that his wife is too beautiful, so as to bring disaster to himself."
He locked his wife at home all day and didn't even let the door out. ”
"Ya'er, do you believe in being a husband?" Jiang Long looked straight into Lin Ya's eyes.
Lin Ya and Jiang Long looked at each other, and after a while, they blushed and avoided it, and nodded slightly, "The concubine believes it." ”
After a brief silence, Jiang Long changed the subject. "Is the flower chicken I made for my husband delicious last time?"
"Hmm." Lin Ya smiled.
"Then I'll do it for you again today." Jiang Long said, asked the guards to buy chicken, and brought all kinds of spices, and shook his head again: "It's just a pity that there are no chili peppers, otherwise the taste is better." ”
"Chili?" Lin Ya was puzzled.
"An ingredient, a seasoning, if you can find it later, let you taste it again." Jiang Long was spicy and unhappy in his previous life, and he always felt that the food he ate now was exquisite and exquisite, but he always lacked a little taste.
"Oh."
The two walked through the fruit forest, and after walking for a while, Jiang Long suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but raise his palm and pat his head.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ya was curious, "Husband, is there something wrong?" If you're in a hurry, let's go back. ”
Very considerate and empathetic.
"No, I forgot to read in a miscellaneous book that fruit trees can be grafted." Jiang Long looked around at the surrounding fruit trees, now only the apricot blossoms are blooming, and the other trees have just sprouted, so he has not missed the opportunity.
Lin Ya heard a new word again, "Grafting? ”
"To put it simply, it is to graft the branches or buds of one fruit tree to another fruit tree in a proper way, and then another fruit will grow." Jiang Long explained, "Or the same kind of fruit trees in different places are grafted to each other, which can make the fruit grow bigger and the quality better." ”
Lin Ya's pretty face showed a look of surprise, "Is this okay?" "It sounds a little incredible.
"It should work." Jiang Long nodded affirmatively.
In addition to grafting, Jianglong also knows a little about the management of fruit trees.
If you want the fruit to grow big, healthy and bright, you must prune, shape the fruit tree, remove the diseased branches, etc., but in winter the pruning action can be larger, and now it is spring, the branches have sprouted, and you can only do some trimming.
The cattle, sheep and pigsty can be built today, just in time for the tenant farmers to clean up the orchard.
The orchard of five or six hundred acres is really well managed, and the fruit with good taste, sweet and refreshing, large size, good quality, and high yield can also have a large income.
For example, in Jianglong's previous life, the price of general fruits was generally low, but the price of high-grade and new-quality haode fruits can be increased dozens of times!
If you can breed new varieties such as apple pears and banana pears, you will be able to sell them at a good price.
Novelties always arouse the interest of the rich, and scarcity is expensive.
Perhaps these five or six hundred acres of orchards alone can be worth the income of tens of thousands of acres of farmland.
Seeing Jiang Long's affirmative tone, Lin Ya kept it in mind, thinking that when Jiang Long grafted fruit trees, she must come and take a look.
At the same time, he admires Jiang Long's talent and knowledge.
Du Juan was not staring around, Lin Ya was much freer, and for now, she was also very satisfied with Fang Qing's performance.
Smart, smart, these are not too many advantages, after all, there is never a shortage of smart people on this shijie.
But the long-sleeved is good at dancing, eight-sided exquisite, familiar with human accidents, can be a man, and can bend and stretch, be scolded, and accompany a smiling face, you slap me on the left cheek, and hand the right cheek over for the other party to beat, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
Lin Ya could guess that Fang Qing, who was not very old, must have experienced a lot of things before.
But she didn't ask, she still had to continue to test, test, and observe.
Looking at it now, Du Juan is far from being Fang Qing's opponent, but Lin Ya is taboo, she can't be sure that Fang Qing will be loyal to herself if she is bought.
Even Lin Ya sometimes thinks that if Fang Qing changes to a man's body, she must be amazing, and she can make a big career.
There is no strong affection, no sweet flirtation, and no vows.
Jiang Long and Lin Ya chatted about some things like this, occasionally smiled, and they were actually in a very relaxed and happy mood.
Walking out of another section, Jiang Long's eyes passed through the fruit forest and saw that there were actually several ponds at the edge of the field.
His eyes lit up and he strode over.
Lin Ya slowly followed, but suddenly, a spring breeze blew, the branches and leaves swayed, and the apricot blossoms that were about to dry up were sprinkled one after another, and many of them fell on Jiang Long's head and shoulders.
For a moment, Lin Ya felt something, and looked at Jiang Long's back in a daze, but his footsteps stopped.
Baozhi and the other maids gradually approached at this time.
I heard the young lady whisper, "Spring tour, apricot blossoms blowing all over the head, who is the young man on the Mo family?" The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life......"
"Young lady?"
Baozhi is illiterate, and he doesn't know how to appreciate poetry, so it sounds a little inexplicable.
There are also treasure rings, three rings of spring and winter.
They are also illiterate.
Suddenly interrupted by Baozhi's voice, Lin Ya suddenly came back to her senses and said, "It's nothing." "The pace of my feet has quickened a bit.
A few maids followed behind, but they didn't see that Lin Ya's pretty face was already blushing with shame.
Shame on the dead, how can you recite such a bold verse...... Lin Ya's heart and liver were pounding.
When Jiang Long walked out of the orchard, he saw that there were a series of eight ponds on the edge of the farmland, and there were either woods growing on the edge of the ponds, or reeds growing on the edge of the ponds, the smaller ponds were two or three acres in size, and the larger ponds were almost ten acres in size!
You can raise fish here.
Jiang Long thought of a livelihood again, and he could raise geese and ducks in the pond.
He had already planned to raise chickens, and the location of the chicken factory on the edge of the reservoir was even better.
The biggest difficulty in raising chickens is that chickens are prone to disease.
The site needs to be built in a well-ventilated area.
Sprinkle some lime on the ground, and there should be no problem in general.
In Shijie, where Jianglong was in his previous life, chickens were very easy to get sick, very delicate, and there would be a chicken plague at every turn, mainly because the chickens had to be fed various fattening or egg-laying feed, so that the chickens were not strong in the first place.
Autoimmunity is greatly reduced.
"Husband, what do you want?"
Finally, Lin Ya followed.
But when she thought of the verses she had read earlier, she blushed again.
Jiang Long just smiled and said his thoughts.
"My husband is concerned about the tenant farmers in the farm, and he is full of dedication." Lin Ya pretended to be sour and said.
Jiang Long was stunned for a moment, and then an apologetic smile appeared on his face.
Today, Lin Ya made an appointment to come to the fruit grove, but she said something about grafting fruit trees, raising fish, raising chickens, ducks and geese.
"It's me who is not good."
"No, the concubine is not unhappy." Lin Ya hurriedly said: "The concubine is not only not angry, but also hopes to be a good helper to her husband." ”
"You're so smart, you can do it."
Jiang Long stepped forward and gently pinched Lin Yabai's tender and soft right hand.
Lin Ya didn't dodge and struggle, she lowered her slender head, and even the snow-white neck was hot and red.
After that, Jiang Long didn't mention how to make money or what he wanted to do to make a living, smelling the fragrance of flowers, holding Lin Ya's soft little hand, walking in the fruit forest where the apricot blossoms opened.
Suddenly, a petal of apricot blossom fell on Jiang Long's sleeve.
Jiang Long twisted it up, put it on the back of Lin Ya's hand, and said with a smile: "Ya'er, look, this apricot blossom is not as white as your little hand." ”
Lin Ya replied shyly, bowing her head deeply like an ostrich,
The pretty face was almost buried in the towering twin peaks on his chest.
