Chapter 267: Agronomy

"Sir, junior, it's time to eat~"

After Su Ran uprooted the weeds next to the seedlings, she straightened her waist and looked up at the man who was carrying something not far away, she asked with a smile, "Senior, what do you eat at noon?" ”

Since the day of the Shangsi Festival, she took a leave of absence and followed two gentlemen from the Agricultural College to the waterside village dozens of kilometers away.

The experimental field of the academy is located here.

Su Ran also learned after learning that there were no rice fields near Yuncheng, only dozens of kilometers away, and Waterside Village was one of the closest villages.

Shui Jianghe had a simple and honest face, he put things on the grass, looked at Su Ran and smiled, "Today I ate white rice with pork belly and fried bamboo shoots, as well as my family's special pickles, and then vegetable leaves." ”

After a long morning's work, the stomach was already hungry.

Su Ran walked to the side of the canal, washed his hands and feet, didn't wear shoes, didn't put down his trousers, and sat directly on the ground, sitting on the grass.

"Huaxia, you said you, why are your feet so delicate! More delicate than a woman's...... Oh......! ”

Before Lin Laibao finished speaking, he was kicked.

Su Ran retracted her foot, took the chopsticks handed over by Shui Jianghe, and glanced at the person who was kicked over by her, "You are enough, Lin Laibao, don't think that your grandfather is a gentleman, I won't dare to kick you." ”

Since the first day she went to the field, she has had to dislike her feet every day.

"It's okay, it's okay, just kick it," Lin Youliang walked over, wiped his hand on his clothes twice at will, and sat down.

When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Laibao sat back and looked at the old man with a resentful expression, "Do you want my grandson anymore?" ”

The old man glanced at him, "Is this my decision?" Your parents have already given birth to you, can they still stuff you back? ”

"Flutter~"

"Ahem, cough, cough~"

The laughing ones were Sheng Xinian and Shui Jianghe, the two are old students of the Agricultural College, and Sheng Xinian has been in the Agricultural College for three years. Because Shui Jianghe is the grandson of the head of Shuibian Village, he entered the academy at the age of twelve and has been there for six years.

Chen Guangyao, who was choked, was just recruited this year, and like Su Ran, he has only been in the academy for more than a month.

As for Lin Laibao, he was in the academy when he was five or six years old, he was the Mr. of the Agricultural College, and Lin Youliang's grandson.

Among those present, the most calm was Mr. Tian Ji, who didn't raise some eyebrows, and ate the rice in the bowl by himself.

Su Ran glanced at the young man who was hit to the point of not being able to do it, and smiled and put a piece of pork belly into his bowl.

"Isn't that gentleman just a little granddaughter who wants a fragrant little granddaughter! Hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law, and then give birth to a fragrant great-granddaughter for him to play with. ”

Lin Laibao's parents gave birth to five brothers in a row, and when he was still in the womb, the whole family was expecting him to be a girl, but who knew that he was born as a boy.

"My eldest brother and second brother have given birth to little nieces, why do you need me to give birth," Lin Laibao thought to himself, he didn't marry his daughter-in-law so early!

After lunch, several people did not immediately go to the field, but rested for a while.

Tian Ji glanced at the paddy field not far away and glanced at a few people, "After finishing the weeds in the afternoon, you can go back." ”

Sheng Xinian and Shui Jianghe, Lin Laibao seemed to be surprised, and they all nodded.

Only Chen Guangyao was stunned and wondered: "Isn't Mr. going back?" ”

"In the next few months, we will spend most of our time here," Tian Ji glanced back at him, "Although you are from the Agricultural College, you can't pull down the knowledge in the books...... Just come here once a month. ”

Lin Youliang smiled and said: "Our agricultural college is mainly to learn how to grow food, naturally most of the time is accompanied by the soil, to put it bluntly, he is a farmer." He looked at Chen Guangyao with a smile, "Young man, it's too late to regret it now, and the imperial examination is the right way." ”

Chen Guangyao pursed his lips and spoke, "Mr. doesn't need to test the students, the students don't have such great ambitions, I just hope to be a capable farmer in the future, so that the fathers and villagers in my hometown can eat enough and not starve...... For students, this is the right way. ”

"Well said, going your own way is the right way."

Su Ran applauded, she admired the people of the Agricultural College very much, especially the two gentlemen, both of whom were close to the sixtieth birthday, both of them were born as Jinshi, one had been a county magistrate for a few years, and the other had been a prefect for a few years.

Both of them finally gave up their official positions and joined agriculture, and stayed in the agricultural college for more than ten or twenty years.

Yunxi Academy has had an agricultural college from the very beginning, and in the past three hundred years, it has been opened and closed.

It can be described as ups and downs.

At present, there are only five students and three gentlemen in the College of Agriculture, including Su Ran.

One of the gentlemen was over seventy years old and was about to retire.

"He's for his hometown, what are you for?" Tian Ji looked at the young man, from the beginning, he was not optimistic about him, but after several contacts, and the observation of the past few days.

In addition to being a little particular about the young man, in the end, it can be seen that he really has the intention to learn.

"Me!" Su Ran put down his hand and smiled, "There is no why, but if there must be, it is to increase the yield of grain." ”

Let the grain improve a few words, she said especially solemnly.

"Hehe~" Lin Youliang sighed: "Your ambition is much more difficult than the entrance examination, we have studied it for nearly 20 years, plus the codex of our predecessors, it is only from less than one stone per mu to more than one and a half stone per mu today." ”

Shui Jianghe sighed, "If more students are willing to put down the imperial examination and join agronomy, it is only a matter of time before the grain output increases." ”

Tian Ji shook his head, got up and said, "Okay, it's time to go to the field." ”

Su Ran smiled, got up and patted Shui Jianghe on the shoulder, "Your idea is unrealistic, it's better to rely on yourself than on others." ”

Some students just can't pass the imperial examination, and would rather be a bookkeeper, and few are willing to be farmers.

Su Ran was picking the grass while thinking about Linshan Village, and he didn't know how many Wubo had persuaded him.

Gotta find a time to go back.

"Senior Shui, when will you pick the tea you said?" Su Ran threw the grass seedlings in his hand out of the field, "I'm going back tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow morning," Shui Jianghe looked up, "really don't need my father to make tea?" ”

Su Ran smiled: "No, I'll make it myself." ”

Making tea, drying tea, and stir-frying tea, she knows all of these, but she hasn't done it for a long time, and she has to practice her hands.

When she is proficient, the tea leaves in her space should also be taken out and drunk, although the new leaves can also be made into tea, but the tea made is more mellow in the end.

And when you take it out and have tea with others, it's also more convenient.

Otherwise, how would she explain that she would take out fresh tea leaves from time to time?

"Grandpa, what you just said is not quite right, some people have taken the exam for more than 20 years, and they have not been admitted to the exam, Jinshi."

Su Ran burst out laughing, "Lin Laibao, your reaction arc is too long." ”
