Chapter 135: Asking for a Return Gift
You can immediately know how much grain you can increase the yield of farming with your own method than the traditional planting method, and then you can see Ji Hua at the end of the autumn harvest, Su Xiaoluo didn't sleep much all night with excitement, and got up just after dawn in the morning.
"Girl, I couldn't sleep last night, I can't sleep after tossing and turning, I can't wait to go down to the ground with a sickle now!" Tinker Bell came in and waited for Su Xiaoluo to freshen up.
"Me too! However, wild soybeans are not easy to cut, the bean stalk is very thick, and today girls go to cut ordinary soybeans and let men cut wild soybeans. ”
"Let's just do it, girl, you injured your wrist a while ago and can't use force."
"My hands are ready!"
"There are so many people, how can you let you go to the ground, you just need to send people to the side, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Su Xiaoluo also wanted to fight for his rights, but he didn't expect Yingyue and them, including Zixu and Tinker Bell, to have the same idea, and they didn't allow Su Xiaoluo to work on the ground.
"Okay!" With so many people staring, it was impossible for him to work in the field, and Su Xiaoluo took the red fox to the ground in a car and was stopped.
The Su family also hired some villagers, some of whom had little land, so the men in the family came out to cut beans for the Su family to make money to supplement the family.
The 20 hired people, plus a dozen people in the family, can mow at least 40 acres of land every day, and at this pace, the dry land can be mowed in less than two days.
Then there is rice, the Su family planted fifty acres of paddy fields, and if you hire people, you can harvest them in three days at most, and it takes some effort to sweet potatoes and purple potatoes, but these things can be completed quickly if the number of these things is small.
"The girl Daxing County Commander has brought the officials to help." Zixu reported to Su Xiaoluo, even if the Daxing county order has a bright brain and knows how to judge the situation, if he stands on the side of King Xiang Jun, this county order will come to an end.
Su Xiaoluo went over to greet the Daxing County Order, and learned that he brought people over to help collect the land, and he would send people to help watch the harvested grain at night, and he would not withdraw until the grains returned to the warehouse, and expressed his gratitude to them.
There are officials who come forward and those who are worried about the Su family's grain, and even want to do their own things, will definitely restrain them, so that the Su family will not have to be busy collecting the land during the day, and they will also send people to watch the grain at night.
With the people brought by the county order to join, the soybeans were harvested in one day, and even the land that Su Changan kept for comparison was recovered.
"These beans are relatively dry, and they can be threshed tomorrow, and I asked the county order to send someone to witness to see how much difference the yield per mu of the two methods of farming."
The Daxing County Commander agreed, and promised to come over to help when the Su family cut the rice.
"Miss Su, in this way, you will be able to enter Beijing to see the little master in a few days!" After Zixuxin said the truth, they no longer had to worry about talking and doing things.
This time, that person personally promised that he could see Ji Hua, Su Xiaoluo was ready for Shang Yi to keep his promise and the two of them would continue to cooperate, if he went back on his word, then there was no preparation for cooperation.
If a big man can't even promise someone else's things, what kind of cooperation can he talk about?
God also favors Su Xiaoluo, there is little rain this autumn, the temperature is suitable, and the grain can be threshed when it is recovered.
The soybean planted by Su Xiaoluo is two and a half percent higher than the yield per mu of the same plot in Su Chang'an, which makes Daxing County Ling and the Su family brothers very happy, but Su Xiaoluo is not satisfied, according to her estimate, it should be three percent higher.
What's the problem? Su Xiaoluo ran back and forth with the granary in the field several times alone, and finally summarized the reason.
Degradation of the bean seed and lack of crop rotation are all reasons for the low soybean yield.
After the soybeans were harvested into the granary, the Su family began to cut the rice, and Jinchen sent a sack full of sticky rice to plant.
"Great, thank you Master Ji, thank you Brother Jinchen." Su Xiaoluo's eyebrows bent and curved.
After chatting with Jinchen for a few words, he went to work on something else, and in the afternoon, Jinchen took someone to help cut rice, and he had no intention of leaving the next day.
What's going on?
"Brother Jinchen, you wait for two days, and after the rice is hulled, bring some back."
"Okay, my subordinates will take people here to wait for two days, and when Miss Su's subordinates go back, in addition to rice, do you have to bring another thing to pay for!"
"What? Mountain goods? ”
Girl, your forgetfulness is too great, Xiangye guessed right, Miss Su really forgot what she promised him.
"My lord, ask your subordinates to bring back the things you promised to exchange for rice seeds!"
Su Xiaoluo thought hard for a long time and covered her mouth, if it wasn't for Jinfeng's reminder, she really forgot to promise Shang Yi.
Although Jinchen didn't know about the agreement between the two of them, it didn't prevent him from passing on the word and making requests.
"Brother Jinchen, I've been too busy lately, you can discuss with the adults, can you give me some grace!"
"My lord said, if you promise to help tie that thing next time you go to Beijing, you can give it a few days, but you must not be perfunctory, if you are not satisfied, you have to start again."
Isn't that embarrassing? If you tie him with your own hand, you probably won't be able to be his concubine!
"I'll hand over what he wants in two days." Su Xiaoluo went back to the room to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find silk, there are only a few colors suitable for men's purses, she wants to be eye-catching, Shang Yi can't wear it.
I'm afraid that Shang Yi will be too picky, and when the time comes, he will find a lot of faults and have to rework.
I found a piece of moon-white satin, and took a piece of royal blue, planning to cut corners to make a splicing purse, style? It's good to embroider a few bamboo leaves on it, and then embroider the word Ziqian to hand it over.
The next day, Su Xiaoluo didn't follow him to the ground, and the rice was cut immediately, so let people dig some sweet potatoes and purple potatoes and bring them when Jinchen left, and concentrate on making purses by himself!
It took half a day to finish the purse, and after embroidering it for another afternoon, Su Xiaoluo looked at the purse he made and muttered to himself: "The purse is so simple, Master Ji will definitely not wear it out, if he doesn't like it, he will make a black one for him next time, and if he dares to find fault, he will threaten him to sue the old lady." Pouring out a jewelry box, Su Xiaoluo put the purse in and covered it, took out the socks that were half made for Ji Hua and sewed them......
Peeled some of the new rice and brought some to Jinchen, and the Su family left some and made a big pot of rice on the same day.
The fragrance of new rice wafted out of the kitchen, and Zixu and Yingyue both sighed that they didn't expect the new rice to be so fragrant, and the rice they ate in the past years was simply incomparable to today's.
"It takes time for japonica rice from the south to be transported to the capital, and we will have at least a few months of rice harvested when we eat it. I guess! Those new rice and good rice have been supplied to the emperor's relatives and officials, and the ordinary people don't know how long it will take their turn!
Don't be afraid in the future, let's grow our own rice, and we can eat new rice anytime and anywhere. Su Xiaoluo said.
