Chapter 6: The Wheat Can Save

The old man sighed heavily again when he said this.

"When I was a boy, I heard my father tell me that they were hail, and before autumn came, and all the crops in the fields were gone, and they were so hungry that they caught mice from the fields and gnawed on the bark of trees. This is a good harvest, save some food, stay up until spring, and always go to ......"

After hearing this, the men around him were all worried.

Zhuang people eat and watch the sky, this is God does not give them food!

Lin Shuqing rested on the warm straw, listening to the voice over there, worried. Although her family's land has been sold a long time ago, and this natural disaster will not reach her family's land, but they are all from a village, how good can she be when the people around her are starving?

He gritted his teeth and sat up from the bed, and shouted in the direction of the crowd: "Grandpa Lizheng, I've heard of it." This poured wheat can only be saved! ”

As soon as these words fell, the entire cave and even the woman lying on the ground turned their eyes to her.

"Just like the root of this tree, if you cut down its branches, as long as the roots are still there, they will not die, and they will grow taller. The wheat is just overwhelmed, the roots are not dead, they can be saved! ”

Everyone listened to the wind and rain outside, and their hearts were all dead ashes, and when they suddenly heard Lin Shuqing's words, they ignited a spark again.

That's right, the wheat is just down, but the roots are still there!

After she finished speaking, someone in the crowd couldn't wait to ask, "Girl, can this wheat really be saved?" Will you save? ”

Lin Shuqing bent the corners of her mouth, and her clear eyes flashed with a little starlight. "When the wheat is poured, it cannot be helped, and if it is helped, it will hurt the roots, and the wheat will die completely. However, it is necessary to pay attention to waterproofing and watering, the water in the ground can not be more or less, the soil is wet, carefully raised, and then apply some fertilizer, it can grow back on its own. ”

Hearing this, some people couldn't sit still and immediately stood up.

"Then my field is flooded with water and hail! I've got to dig open water! ”

When one person takes the lead, the others can't sit still.

"My house is by the stream below, and I guess there is a lot of water, so I have to go and see it."

"My family's ...... too"

said that a group of men could no longer sit still, and were ready to go out to dig up the ridges and release water, as long as the wheat in the field could be saved, now let them do anything.

Just as the crowd was agitating and preparing to leave the cave, an unsociable voice sounded.

"Just a girl's words, it will coax you around, she has never touched the field." A snarky voice rang out.

Lin Shuqing didn't need to listen much to know that it was Zhou.

At this point, many people instantly seemed to have regained their senses and stopped moving in the same place. Indeed, Lin Shuqing is a girl, how can she understand so many truths.

Wen Liang was an ancestor who fled here, and then the family was sufficient, and he was sent to the school to recognize a few words, and when he was young, he made a name for himself in the county, and he returned to the village to replace Lao Li and was the new one, which was quite prestigious, and this was also decades.

The descendants of the village were all grown up by him, and he had some idea of what kind of person he was.

"Don't make any noise, sit down and rest. Lin Sanlang's eldest daughter, I remember, your name is Shu Qing! The old voice of Li Zheng sounded, which was somewhat inconspicuous in the crowd.

"Uncle Liang, this is a girl, I don't recognize a few big characters, why do you ask her?" Someone immediately questioned.

Lin Shuqing blinked, and secretly thought to himself in his heart: I can not only read and write, but also know astronomy and geography, read through China for 5,000 years, fly over seven continents and eight oceans, and study for 19 years from compulsory education to master's graduation, and have read more books than everyone here has planted, not to mention proficient in English and French Chinese.

Although there are many places in this place that are not used, she just knows a lot of words!

"I called Lin Saburo's daughter, is that you?" Wen Liang's displeased tone sounded.

The man who shouted kept his mouth shut, and the others did not dare to squeak again.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I'm here!" Lin Shuqing obediently stepped forward and took a few steps.

Wen Liang showed a kind smile on his face, and asked carefully, "Girl, the wheat in this field is a big deal in the village. May I ask you where you heard that, can you be trusted? ”

Lin Shuqing said without thinking: "I have heard my mother say this, she said that the old man who served as an official did this. ”

mentioned Lin Shuqing's mother-in-law Wu Wan'er, and the villagers still remember it vividly. Wu Wan'er was sold to their county as a hair, Lin Sanlang passed by and saw the right eye, and came down to buy her back, and for this reason, she also broke up and came out alone.

When they came back from marriage, they also saw that their white and delicate appearance was much more beautiful than the daughters of big families in the city. But they are from the countryside, and their daughters-in-law have to go to the fields to work when they come back, and they can't carry their hands or carry them, so they are very unoptimistic.

I heard that it was a big family who worked as a maidservant, but I didn't expect it to be the old man's family who was an official.

When everyone heard this, they all held their breath and listened carefully. The old man who is an official does not worry about eating and drinking all year round, and there are subordinates to serve him, and it is not surprising that he has any secret recipe for farming.

"My mother said that it was the official lady she served who liked to plant flowers, and collected a lot of ancient books on planting flowers, some of which talked about how to save wheat, and the young lady took my mother to read and sort out the ancient books on weekdays, and she wrote them down."

Lin Shuqing said slowly, if she planted flowers in the future, she would have a reason.

Wen Liang listened, and the smile on his face became even stronger. If this is the case, the wheat in the village can be saved.

"Lin girl, you say the way to save the wheat again, my old man is behind his ear, I didn't hear ......it clearly just now," Wen Liang pleaded, with eagerness in his eyes.

Lin Shuqing repeated it again, and the surroundings became extremely quiet again, and everyone tried to listen.

Wen Liang, who understood how to save the wheat, his face was not as ugly as earlier, and he touched his beard and said carefully: "This method is simple, but where to get fertilizer, even if you pick up the manure in the pit, it is estimated that you can't take care of half an acre of land......"

Not to mention that in the future, I will take care of it every month. Everyone also frowned, counting their own land.

"Grandpa Lizheng, my mother also left a recipe for making fertilizer, which can fertilize the field without manure." Lin Shuqing said in a crisp voice.

"I have a request, though......"

"What requirements?"

"My mother's recipe can't tell everyone in vain! If all the wheat in the village is saved, the family will have to give us two buckets of grain, not only wheat, but anything. Lin Shuqing raised her voice and said, so that everyone around her could hear it more clearly.

She has been thinking about this method for a long time, and she is a good person to give it to everyone, and everyone may not believe it. Just like the free goods on the roadside, although some people grab them, they don't necessarily cherish them when they get them, only those who spend money will make people feel distressed, and the food in this house is not enough for them to survive the winter.

Two buckets are not too much, nor too little.
