Chapter 34: Increasing Yields
When the time comes, it will be her Chu Xinping who will eat and drink spicy food!
Since the last incident, Chu Damin has no longer been the same as before, but has strictly stopped her and Chu Tianbao from going to Chu Xinyun for trouble, and even the Liu family has been taken to work in a laundry room in the town, and he has not been back for a month.
In addition, Chu Tianbao's broken foot needs to recuperate, even if she has a great pain in her heart, she can only swallow it in her stomach.
Now that Chu Tianbao has recovered and is ready to go to the private school tomorrow to report, Chu Xinping took this opportunity to cry to him with all the bitterness in his stomach.
"Brother, look at Chu Xinyun's stinky girl, why did she let Brother Xiao kill do such heavy work, now that the weather is so hot, what if she gets a heat stroke?"
Chu Tianbao was angry now when he heard Chu Xinyun's name, after the plan to sell her to a fool failed, not only was the one hundred and twenty taels of silver in his hand gone, but he also forcibly matched fifty taels and one of his own legs.
He should have listened to the classmate who sold her to the Qinglou once and for all, and saved himself from harming others here.
"That stinky girl is a scourge!" Chu Tianbao was indignant: "I made so much silver but I didn't know how to send some back to honor us, I was just a white-eyed wolf, and I raised her so big for nothing!"
Chu Xinping helped on the side: "That's it, she is the most shameless woman in the village, brother, you have to help me find a way."
"In my life, I don't have to kill my brother and not marry!"
Chu Tianbao said with relief: "Sister, don't worry, this method is all thought of by people, and when my brother thinks of a way, he will definitely be angry for you!"
Hearing him say this, Chu Xinping couldn't help but roll her eyes, whenever her brother spoke like this, she was basically fooling, others didn't know, didn't she understand as a sister?
But with the current situation at home, it can only be relieved.
Without the support of her family, Chu Xinping only dared to look far away on weekdays, and when she saw Xiao Shu pulling grass and loosening the soil in the field sweating like rain, her heart suddenly felt distressed.
She looked around and no one dared to come up: "Brother Xiao killed, are you tired?" I have a handkerchief here, you can wipe your sweat. ”
Xiao Shu turned his head to see that it was her, and frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing him answer, Chu Xinping was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I'm not worried about you, you look at the sun so poisonous, people are almost dizzy, why are you still pulling weeds here, go and rest in the shade." ”
said that Shi was going to help him, but before she could get closer, Xiao Shu was a quick flash, Chu Xinping's body was unbalanced and screamed and fell into the newly watered field, and her originally clean and neat dress was suddenly covered with black mud.
"You.... You're ......"
Xiao Shu got up and looked at her condescendingly and said coldly: "I advise you not to come close to me again one last time, you should be glad that you are a woman, otherwise I will make you regret being born in this world." ”
The more Chu Xinping thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and cried: "Why is Chu Xinyun so bad to you, you still think about her everywhere, but I am so gentle and considerate that you don't even look at me?!" Why!"
"Why? Just by what you have done in the past!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Shu's eyes: "It hasn't been long since you tied up Xiao Yun that day, if you let me see you next time, I will definitely make you look good!"
As soon as he remembered what happened that day, Xiao Kill was angry in his heart, thanks to Aunt Wang's sharp eyes, if no one found out, would he lose Xiao Yun forever?
Thinking of this, Xiao Kill's eyes when he looked at Chu Xinping were even more fierce, and the latter was so frightened that he ran away.
Xiao Shu never mentioned this matter to Chu Xinyun, firstly, he was afraid that she would be worried, and he was afraid that she would think too much.
After the chili pepper arrived, Chu Xinyun went to the town to buy a few jars of the same size and came back to prepare for the development of kimchi, and soon the corner of the house was full of large and small jars.
The pepper seeds were planted by her in the acres where she had planted sugar beets before, and she had specially fertilized this field before, and the seeds sprouted slightly within a few days, and the growth was excellent.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's time to plant rice.
In the past few days, the young and strong people who have been working outside have also returned to Chujia Village one after another, and the originally deserted village has also become lively.
On this day, Chu Xinyun went to the field as usual to deliver food to Xiao Shu.
When she was in the town, she saw an old man selling mung beans, and she thought that the weather was too hot and there was a danger of her middle lip, so she bought some and went back to boil mung bean soup to drink.
Put a little sugar in the boiled mung bean soup and then put it into the well to cool down, and the entrance is cool and comfortable, comparable to being doused with a bucket of ice water on dog days.
Just as Chu Xinyun was walking towards his own fields, he found that several families had already begun to sow rice seeds in the fields.
She said that she did not understand the villagers' practice, in her modern opinion, to increase the survival rate of rice seeds, shouldn't it be safer to germinate first and then plant, so that the rice seeds sown casually must be dead!
Because she was not familiar with those families, she didn't come forward to ask, but put the matter in her heart.
When eating with Xiao Shu, the latter saw that she had something on her mind and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Chu Xinyun shook his head, and told him what he saw in the future, and he was a little embarrassed in his words: "You said that if I told the village chief directly, would he think I was nosy?"
After all, this matter of sprinkling rice seeds is simple and easy, if you change to your own method, you will inevitably waste a lot of time when the matter between yourself and the Liu family is known to everyone in the village, they just stand aside and watch Rekuo, and only a few people are willing to stand up and speak for themselves....
To be honest, Chu Xinyun didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she thought about it, the village chief also helped her a lot on weekdays, wouldn't it be too immoral to do so?
Xiao Shu chuckled: "Since there is a better way, then you shouldn't hide it, you go and tell the village chief." ”
With his support, Chu Xinyun suddenly became motivated, and she went to the village chief's house with gifts that night.
During this time, she has been back from the town only a handful of times, and she has not come to see the village chief for a long time, so she brought more gifts this time.
"Yo, Xiao Yun is here! Come in!" The village chief's daughter-in-law was happy when she saw her, and hurriedly pulled her into the door.
"Old man! Look who's coming!"
The village chief came out of the house with a cane and snorted softly, "I have already heard your loud noise!"
Chu Xinyun hurriedly stepped forward to help: "How is the village chief's grandfather lately?"
"What's so bad about my body, but you, I haven't been back to the village recently, why do you want to come back again after this time?"
Chu Xinyun sneered: "I'm busy these days, don't I think I haven't come to see you for a long time!"
As he spoke, he put the things in his hand on the table, and the village chief's daughter-in-law looked a little embarrassed and complained: "Why did you come here and bring so many things, and spent a lot of silver?"
Chu Xinyun smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't cost a few dollars, you and the village chief's grandfather have bad teeth, so I bought some pastries from Dongfangzhai, and by the way, I also brought some dried fish to Brother Dahu to drink." ”
The little grandson who was watching from the side didn't hear him and couldn't help but be anxious: "What about my sister?" What about mine?"
"Of course you have your share, I bought you some zongzi candy and kept a sweet mouth!"
"Wow! Thank you sister!"
"Ahem!" The village chief coughed lightly a few times and asked, "You obviously have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, is there something wrong with coming to me today?"
"I think a lot of people have been back in the village lately to sow seeds."
The village chief bowed his head: "When the time comes, you will naturally sow seeds, otherwise what will you eat in the second half of the year?"
"The village chief's grandfather won't tell you that I found a planting method to increase the yield of rice seeds from the town's merchants, which may be more troublesome in the early stage, but the yield can be increased by more than three times in the later stage...."
As soon as he heard this, the village chief's eyes were different, and he hurriedly said, "You're not talking nonsense?"
"Of course not, if you don't believe we can find a few acres of land to experiment first." Saying that, Chu Xinyun told the village chief about the method of irrigating the rice field and germinating rice seeds.
It's not an old farmer, but just a simple listen to him knows that this method is absolutely feasible!
The village chief even called the big tiger to gather the whole village, saying that he had something to say.
At this time, everyone had nothing to do, and when they heard that the village chief had summoned, they all came over.
As the villagers came one after another, the originally empty courtyard gradually became full, and some of them couldn't get in, but fortunately they lay on the wall to listen, for fear that they would miss something.
The village chief sat on a chair in the middle, looked around, and asked, "Which one hasn't come?"
"Chu Okura's family didn't come."
As soon as he heard that it was the village chief of Chu Dacang, he waved his hand: "Regardless of him, we will talk about ours." ”
"What did the village chief call us to do so late?"
"yes, I'm ready to go to bed, I'm tired all day!"
The village chief said in a deep voice: "Although our village is a little better than other villages, but the grain is only enough to eat and save, today Xiaoyun came to me and told me a way to increase the yield, it is just the time to sow seeds, you also try this method." ”
Some people wondered, "What can I do to increase production?" Trouble not?"
Chu Xinyun stood up and said: "There may be some trouble in the early stage, but after the rice is planted, you don't have to worry about it, just do a good job of weeding." ”
Then she told her how to raise seedlings and how to irrigate the fields, and immediately heard that several villagers frowned, and some people couldn't help but say: "Xiaoyun, it's not that everyone can't believe you, is this method really able to increase yield?" We all plant according to the methods of the older generation, and if you can make it, the big guy will definitely be willing to thank you, what if it doesn't? Are you going to let us all drink the northwest wind?"
"Yes! I've never heard of this before, but can it really be done?"
"I also sound quite mysterious, I don't want to dare to do such a risky thing."
"It's all quiet!" The village chief shouted loudly, and the villagers who were talking about it were so shocked that they shut up, Chu Xinyun had long known that this would be the result, so he didn't force it but talked about something else.
"I also told you about this new planting method, whether to try it or not is your freedom, in addition, I want to hire three people to vacate some acres of land to plant some new things, the seeds are sent by me, you only need to be responsible for planting them daily watering and weeding, and I will harvest the crops in the end for two pennies and a catty."
Chu Xinyun looked around as he spoke, and saw that there were a few people whose eyes flashed and seemed to be a little moved, but the rest of them all looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.
"If you are interested, you can come to me and sign up, as long as there are two places, first come, first served."
With that, she gave up her position to the village chief and stepped aside.
The villagers' reactions were safe as he expected, and the village chief stroked his beard and said, "I don't force you to decide for yourself in this matter, if you are willing to raise seedlings, you will go to Xiaoyun tomorrow, and she will teach you hand in hand." ”
"But my ugly words will be said first, if anyone is shameless to destroy, then don't blame me for being polite!"
