Chapter 342: Beating Mandarin Ducks
Shang Yi agreed, took his little daughter-in-law's hand and left, Su Qin hated to tell Shang Yi to work harder, and it was best to hear the good news next month.
"Daughter-in-law, I miss you!" The two of them entered the room, and the maids and mothers-in-law who were waiting for them retreated with great eyes, and before Su Xiaoluo could speak, Shang Yi was pressed against the wall.
The stormy kiss fell like raindrops, and when Su Xiaoluo finally got the opportunity to breathe fresh air, the person was already lifted up in the air.
"Shang Yi, it's not night yet!"
"Who says it has to be at night!"
Su Xiaoluo was stopped by him and didn't know how to respond, but Shang Yi didn't stop because of this......
At breakfast the next day, Su Fusheng looked for his cousin, and Shang Yi told him that Su Xiaoluo would arrive soon.
"You're the best fool!" Mrs. Shang taught her grandson a lesson.
"Grandmother, Xiaoluo has made elm money cakes for you and grandma, where do you want to go!" With the Su Qin clan here, how could he go too far!
Besides, after a period of time, Su Xiaoluo will make progress compared to when he first got married, and he will no longer get up at every turn.
Commendable!
When a plate of elm money cakes was served, Su Xiaoluo saw that several people were looking at him, and touched his neck uncomfortably, he had already warned Shang Yi last night not to plant strawberries on his neck, did he leave traces?
"Come and eat! Grandmother was worried that I was bullying you, so they were watching your face, and it was nothing! Shang Yi saw Su Xiaoluo's puzzled face, took the plate and said.
Didn't you bully me? Su Xiaoluo glanced at Shang Yi, and someone's eyes in response were even more meaningful, and Su Xiaoluo, who was defeated, sat down to eat.
Fresh elm money has a faint sweetness and fragrance, and it has a unique taste with egg drop soup and kimchi.
Even Shang Yi, who has always been picky, is a little overwhelmed.
"Xiaoluo, what are we doing today?" Mrs. Shang rolled up her sleeves and asked.
"Today I'm going to take the maid and some tenants to make fertilizer, this job is not suitable for the two of you, so what do you want to do today, or let Shang Yi take you to the ranch for a walk!"
"Come with us!" Mrs. Shang thought that Su Xiaoluo was talking about those farm dung, wouldn't it be okay to put it in the ground? Is there anything else to do?
"I'm talking about special fertilizers, for example, soybeans have special fertilizers, which are different from vegetables, and there are different fertilizers for planting rice and wheat in a few days. According to different crops, different fertilizers can be configured to increase yield and resist disease, otherwise the desired effect will not be achieved. ”
The old lady still didn't understand these things, and when she saw her grandson's eyes falling on her granddaughter-in-law, she was reluctant to move away, so she waved her hand: "Let Jinchen accompany us to the ranch!" Let Ziqian stay with Xiaoluo to get that fat! ”
Of course, Shang Yi had no opinion, he sent Jinchen over to escort the two old men.
To be honest, I was very happy to be able to accompany my daughter-in-law Shang Yi, but he didn't want to get that fertilizer, it felt very dirty, he wanted Su Xiaoluo to tell the people below about the essentials and let them do it, Su Xiaoluo told Shang Yi that this fertilizer should be carefully made, which is different from sprinkling farmhouse fertilizer directly into the ground in the traditional sense.
Collect eggshells, silt, dead branches, and leaves that have rotted...... These are piled up together to make basic fertilizer, and what is processed again is special fertilizer!
Shang Yi accompanied Su Xiaoluo to make fertilizer for a morning, which was an incredible thing before, not to mention fiddling with those rotten vegetable leaves, even the silt Shang Yi had never touched.
But the morning was already his limit, and in the afternoon, he handed over the matter of getting fertilizer to Tu Xianchen, and asked him to take someone to do it well and then pulled Su Xiaoluo away.
The two of them went to pick up Mrs. Shang and Su Qin's family and returned to the capital together.
Because there are too many things in the villa, Su Xiaoluo can only run on both sides, and the old lady of the Su Qin family monk follows if she wants to go out for a walk, and if she doesn't want to go, she will be a companion in the county lord's mansion and watch Su Fusheng study.
After finishing the affairs of the officials' scheduling, Shang Yi began to arrange spring plowing in various places, and Su Xiaoluo painted advanced ox plows, hoes for removing grass between seedlings, and improved pickaxes and hoes.
Ji Yunyou printed the farming methods summarized by Su Xiaoluo into a booklet, focusing on promoting fertilization and seed selection, as well as waterwheel irrigation. And it is promised that wherever the effect of farming according to this method is significant, and the grain production increases much in the autumn, local officials will be praised.
If someone is found to be cheating, they will be severely punished!
"Old sister, do you say Xiaoluo's methods are okay? I don't think I know the bottom of my heart! "Su Qin's heart is panicking!
"Definitely, you just put your heart in your stomach!"
"Xiaoluo wants to get those rice seeds, I saw them last year, and they should be sprinkled on the flat ground and watered frequently, and when those rice seedlings grow more than three inches tall, they can be moved to the rice field." Su Qin's family saw her granddaughter get rice seedlings last year, and described them to Mrs. Shang.
"Xiaoluo is a capable person, we don't have to worry about her, isn't there still Ziqian and the emperor? There's nothing to worry about with their support. "Old Lady Shang can't wait to make it to autumn all of a sudden, she wants to test Su Xiaoluo's ability with her own eyes and see how many surprises she can bring to everyone.
Shang Yi didn't even ask for leave this time on the grounds of paying attention to agriculture, and moved directly to the villa and lived with Su Xiaoluo.
He would go back to Beijing the next day to deal with some official business, and take those official letters that were not too urgent to the villa to do.
Ji Yunyou asked Shang Yi when he would be able to go to the court normally.
"Isn't what the minister is doing now a business matter? Xiaoluo and I have been busy for spring ploughing for a long time, and now the rice seeds are scattered in the soil, the fields have begun to plough and ridge, and things are going on in an orderly manner, these ......"
"It's all my sister's work! Brother-in-law, you went to live a small life for two people by supporting spring ploughing, have you ever thought about how busy I am? ”
"If you insist on persevering, when the seeds are all planted and the thousands of fields are planted, the minister will come back!"
Ji Yunyou gave Shang Yi a big white eye: "Why don't you wait for my sister to come back after giving birth to the baby!" ”
"It's not impossible!"
"The last three days of vacation, no matter what happens to the villa, you must come back!"
"You're beating mandarin ducks!"
"Brother-in-law, I just asked you to come back to the court, why do you still have something to do with the stick beating mandarin ducks."
"My grandmother and grandmother are still waiting to hold their great-grandson!"
"Brother-in-law, you have used this excuse too many times, will you change your line next time?"
At present, this excuse is the most effective, and Shang Yi does not plan to change it.
"Brother-in-law, I promised you that I would not declare my sister to live in the palace three months before you got married, and now that most of the time has passed, you must also have a mental preparation!" Ji Yunyou reminded Shang Yi.
Does the days go by so fast? Shang Yi thought back to the bits and pieces since he and Su Xiaoluo got married, and those things seemed to be just yesterday, not at all like what happened more than a month ago.
