Chapter 784: Spring Ploughing
784
The weather was sunny and there was a light breeze.
There are fireworks everywhere in the wilderness outside Liangzhou, and it is the people who open up the wasteland to burn the wasteland.
The dead grass was too lush to be cultivated, so it had to be set on fire.
It is not only labor-saving, but also can provide fertilizer to the land.
However, the burned ground should be deeply turned, otherwise the grass roots will still sprout.
Zhong Ye and Wei Yining were also among them, they didn't need any helpers, just the husband and wife were working.
The boundaries of the land had been drawn, and the weeds were almost burned out, leaving a charred black mark.
"Tomorrow I will call someone here to dig a well," Zhong Ye said, looking at the piece in front of him with his hands behind his back, "You must always irrigate it often, so that the vegetables will grow well." β
"Do you know how much land a well can irrigate?" Wei Yining looked up and asked.
"I've really consulted about this, twenty acres around it is enough, let's dig a well here, and several families around it can use it." Zhong Ye Road.
"Grandpa, I want to dig a hundred wells for the people who are clearing the wasteland in the name of the two of us," Wei Yining said, "for the land far away from the canal." β
The cost of digging a well is not huge, but it is also an expense for ordinary people. Especially those people who are already very poor, they really can't afford to dig wells.
"Okay, just do as you say." Zhong Ye agreed without hesitation: "One hundred eyes this spring, and in autumn, if there are many cultivators, one more hundred eyes, and you can directly irrigate next spring." β
"With well water irrigation, we don't have to worry about the land far from the canal to feed on the sky." Wei Yining calculated: "The people's confidence in opening up the wasteland will definitely be stronger. β
"Your little head really won't sit idle for a moment." Zhong Ye lovingly raised his hand and gently wiped away a little gray stain on Wei Yining's cheek: "You have all the vegetable seeds you want to plant, right?" β
"It's all in the blankets on horseback." Wei Yining said: "Let's plant the south one today, and then plant the north one after the well is drilled tomorrow." β
"Then I'll go plough the ground first." Zhong Ye picked up the shovel: "You ride a horse and go around." β
"If you say you want to come out to work together, I will also turn the ground." Wei Yining refused to leave: "I've been ready for a long time." β
"This little work is enough for me alone, you can help with some planting in a while." Zhong Ye said: "Your hands are thin and tender, and they will grind blisters." β
"But ---," Wei Yining still wants to fight again.
"Be obedient." Zhong Ye gently lifted her up and put her on the horse's back: "You haven't ridden a horse in a few days, let's go for a lap!" β
"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me run around on horseback again?" Wei Yining pursed his mouth aggrievedly.
She was so angry with the Aquila Khan that she was so angry that she spanked her for it.
"That's not because I'm afraid you're in danger, the little thing still holds a grudge!" Zhong Ye pretended to be angry and stretched out his hand and pinched Wei Yining's cheek: "What are I afraid of here now?" β
Wei Yining was already itchy, and when he saw Zhong Ye say this, he pushed the boat down the river and said, "Okay, I'll give my grandfather a face." β
Zhong Ye was amused by her, and whispered, "Xiao Nizi, I'll clean you up when I go back." β
Wei Yining shrank his neck, stuck out his tongue, and ran away with a smile.
After a long turn, he came back and found that Zhong Ye had finished turning the ground.
Wei Yining got off the horse and sighed: "Grandpa is really capable, if you unload your armor and return to the field in the future, you can also live a good life with plenty of food and clothing." β
"Look at your little look." Zhong Ye smiled: "Where do you see where those vegetables are grown?" β
Wei Yining already had a plan in his heart, and asked Zhong Ye to divide the land into several furrows, then rake them one by one, and then make out the ditches.
After that, she was in charge of sowing the seeds, and Nakano filled in the soil and stepped on it.
"I've asked the local farmer, and the sand is windy in the spring, so you have to bury the seeds stronger." Wei Yining said while working: "You see, those people over there have to press it with a stone stone. β
"I've stepped on it all the way to be stronger than a stone." Zhong Ye said: "I'm afraid that the seeds will not grow if they are too strong." β
"No, they can sprout even if you press a big stone on it." Wei Yining smiled: "I've seen it in Lao Linghe before. β
The two of them chatted and worked at the same time, and the time passed quickly.
When I was done, I realized that it was past noon.
"Are you hungry?" Zhong Ye patted the soil on his hand and asked Wei Yining, "Are you tired?" β
"I seem to be a little tired, and I'm getting lazy now." Wei Yining smiled embarrassedly and thumped his sore waist: "Grandpa is also hungry, right?" β
"What do you want to eat?" Zhong Ye lovingly took her into his arms, lowered his head and pressed his ear to ask: "There is a new restaurant in Liangzhou City, I heard that the chef is from the capital, and his skills are very good, I will take you there to eat!" β
"Now that Liangzhou is in ruins, it's a good thing for us to take care of the business." Wei Yining said happily: "I really miss the sweet and sour carp in the Eight Immortal Towers in the capital these days, I don't know how much it can be done here." β
"Okay, then I'll take you to eat sweet and sour carp." Zhong Ye stretched out his hand and scratched Wei Yining's nose and said, "Feed your little gluttonous cat." β
The newly opened restaurant in Liangzhou City is called Jingweiju, which makes people know that the main flavor of Beijing is at a glance at the brand.
Wei Yining was probably very hungry, and he smelled the aroma of food before he even entered the door.
There was no one in Liangzhou City who didn't know Zhong Ye, so the shopkeeper and the guys of the restaurant hurriedly greeted him.
By this time, it was already past dinner, and there were few people in the store. Zhong Ye smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, my wife and I came here for a meal today, if you are too restrained, we will not be comfortable." β
The people of Liangzhou City are grateful to Zhong Ye, and they all know that he loves the people like a son, which is not comparable to ordinary corrupt officials.
Therefore, it is sincere respect and love for him.
Zhong Ye led Wei Yining to a private seat by the window on the second floor, and the husband and wife only ordered a few signature dishes here, which was enough for two people to eat.
The shopkeeper personally memorized the menu and told the kitchen, and specially told him to make it for Grandpa Zhong and his wife.
When the cook here heard this, of course, he was full of energy and showed his skills.
After a while, a few dishes were steaming hot.
"Eat slowly, beware of fish bones." Zhong Ye told Wei Yining to choose fish bones for her.
"This dish is really authentic." Wei Yining praised from the bottom of his heart: "This sweet and sour carp is sweet and sour, crispy and crispy, it is really amazing." β
"Look at your little appearance, you really look like a gluttonous cat." Wei Yining's half-squinted eyes and intoxicated appearance made Zhong Ye laugh: "It's really getting more and more like a child." β
Wei Yining also felt that she was much more naΓ―ve than before, but she would only be like this in front of Zhongye.
