Chapter 305: This Is a Good Baby (Three Watches)

The next day, Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu, as well as the two brothers Yu Shun and Yu Fu, took the tools she asked to make, such as a scythe, a scimitar, a bucket, and a hoe, to the dry land of Lao Yu's house.

Xia Qiqi chose a ridge of land, which was planted.

Wait for the watermelon seeds, which have grown two or three leaves, and then they can be transplanted.

"How do you use this thing?"

Yu Shun is always a curious baby, and he feels strange what Xia Qiqi does.

And they will be cheeky and ask a question.

Xia Qiqi took the clicker and tried it, stepped down, and when he picked up the clicker again, a cylindrical mud with small round holes came out.

"This ......" Yu Shun couldn't understand it even more.

Xia Qiqi squatted down and said to Yu Shun: "Put the small watermelon seeds that have just sprouted in this small hole, cover it with mud, and spread a layer of grass, and it's enough!" ”

When she explained to Yu Shun, Yu Fu and Lu Jiu were also watching.

Lu Jiu didn't know anything about agriculture, and Yu Shun and Yu Fu were all kinds of veterans.

But I still think what Xia Qiqi said is strange.

"The watermelon seedlings that grow on this small cylinder have an almost 100% survival rate when planted in the ground! It's much more insured than the vegetable seedlings you usually plant! Xia Qiqi said.

"Yes, on this, it is equivalent to the real plant transplanted!" Yu Shun took over the conversation and said.

"You know, this thing, what's the best thing to grow?" Xia Qiqi suddenly said.

"What?"

Xia Qiqi said: "Cotton! Now it's almost the season for cotton planting, and the survival rate of the cotton grown with this thing is also very high! ”

Yujia Village does not grow cotton, and the dry land is basically used to grow sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains, and even peanuts are rare.

"Qiqi, how did you come up with this baby bump?" At this time, Yu Shun almost couldn't put down the seed sower in Xia Qiqi's hand.

Looking at such a strange iron lump, but it had such a big effect, he could hardly believe it.

"Qiqi, why don't you rent some land and grow cotton?" Yu Shun suddenly asked.

"The price of cotton is not cheap, and you can grow what you need!"

Xia Qiqi shook his head, "The land in the village was exempted from rent for three years before, and the landlord's land has long been robbed!" Within three years, the people of the village would not be willing to give up their land! ”

Who wants to sell things that don't need money?

On the contrary, she was also unwilling to let her spend money on rent.

"Huh?" Yu Shun was stunned.

"It's okay, my family also got two acres of watermelon land, although the soil conditions are not as good as here, but it is enough to eat and drink!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

She had asked the price earlier, and watermelons cost five cents a pound, and not everyone had them.

And one acre of land, planted by Xia Qiqi's method, at least three or four thousand catties, not surprisingly, one acre of land, at least fifteen taels of silver.

Fifteen taels, if it is replaced by paddy fields, it is estimated that more than ten acres of land will be good to earn this money.

Moreover, paddy fields still have to pay taxes, but watermelon fields are not used.

Therefore, planting watermelons, counting horizontally and vertically, is faster and more money than planting rice.

The watermelons of the three acres of land were sold, and the old Yu family had money, and her second and fifth uncles also married daughters-in-law.

Every word Xia Qiqi said gave Yu Shun and Yu Fu countless hopes.

According to Xia Qiqi's instructions, the two brothers worked hard to do everything well.

On that ridge of land, Xia Qiqi let them splash the water, and stepped on it with their feet, stepping on the seeder one by one, and then placing the small columns one by one and covering them with grass.

After a busy morning, a ridge of land was finally disposed of.

When the four of them went back together, the first thing Xia Qiqi did was to check the watermelon seeds in the haystack.

One night and one morning, the watermelon seeds had already sprouted white buds, and Xia Qiqi's eyes lit up.

"After dinner, you can go planting!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"So fast?" Yu Shun and Yu Fu were stunned.

"Yes, look at this kind of seed, do you have white buds?" Xia Qiqi said, handing the seeds in the gauze to the others.

Everyone nodded at the same time, "Indeed!" ”

"Let's eat first, and we'll go as soon as we're done!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

In her voice, there was a sense of excitement, and there was also an excitement.

It's the first time she cares so much about one thing, and she has never been so nervous when she helped do business in Babaolou before.

Xia Qiqi knows that the people of the Lao Yu family put all their hopes on these acres of watermelon land, and she must use all her knowledge to help the people of the Lao Yu family get through the difficulties.

Her second uncle and her fifth uncle must marry a daughter-in-law this year.

After eating lunch in a hurry, a group of people set off in a mighty manner.

Xia Qiqi asked them to uncover the grass, carefully put the seeds into the small holes of the cylindrical mud one by one, and then carefully cover the soil.

Every step of this is done with care.

For fear that something would go wrong, the last handful of soil was covered, and Xia Qiqi let out a long breath.

"Cover the grass, cover the grass!" Xia Qiqi urged.

Yu Shun, Yu Fu and Lu Jiu helped complete the last process, except for Lu Jiu, several people looked liberated.

Xia Qiqi sat down on the ridge even more.

She smiled and wiped the sweat from her head, "It's really like fighting, it's too scary!" ”

"Qiqi is doing a good job, but we are dragging our feet!" Yu Shundao.

"Why don't you drag your feet, the second uncle's old problem has been committed again! It's all family! Xia Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, you don't have to comfort us, the second and fifth uncles know how many catties and taels they have!" Yu Fu also said.

“……”

Xia Qiqi knew that these two uncles were afraid that they would not make sense.

had to change the topic, "By the way, the second uncle and the fifth uncle, if you go in this way, you will have to take care of it more carefully in the future!" ”

"Well, we know, don't worry!" Yu Shun nodded.

"In addition, the people of the old Qi family must also be guarded, and they can't relax for a moment!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"Especially during the important growing seasons, if you can, I suggest you get up at night to see when the seedlings are just planted!"

Xia Qiqi is not alarmist, these troublesome characters of the old Qi family have done everything, if they really move the watermelon seedlings, then everything will be over!

Not only was there no harvest, but at that time, no crops could be planted!

"Okay, listen to Qiqi, or ...... Shall I build a shed here? It's okay, just sleep here? The people of their old Qi family, if they dare to mess around, I will fight with them! Yu Shun said.

"The shed must be built!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"Huh? Is there really such a thing? Yu Fu was stunned.

"When the harvest comes, a lot of people will steal watermelons!"
