Chapter 049 Hot Spring Manor (1)

"Girl, this is the seed I brought, can you see if you can use it?"

Zhao Dalang was wearing a gray-brown coarse linen shirt and pants, with a pair of black homespun shoes on his feet, and the shoes were still stained with dust, coupled with the fatigue of his bronzed face that could not be washed away, the whole person looked dusty.

I saw him standing humbly at the bottom of the hall, nervously wringing a pair of rough hands full of calluses, waiting for the reaction of the woman behind the screen.

"This is the seed of rice." Wang Qifang took the gray cloth bag handed by Ziyuan, pulled open the drawstring, reached out and grabbed a handful of seeds, twisted them in his hand and asked in a sure tone.

"Back girl, exactly," Zhao Dalang Xu was used to staying in the countryside, and when he replied, his attitude was extremely restrained.

Mama Zhao, who was waiting on the side, couldn't say anything when she saw her son's face, so she was secretly anxious, for fear that Qi Niang would think that Da Lang was not smart and unwilling to reuse her son. But she guarded Qi Niang and couldn't remind Da Lang clearly, so she had no choice but to cough twice unintentionally, "cough~"

Zhao Dalang was too nervous, and he didn't hear his mother's hint, but asked in a daze, "Mother, are you okay?" Do you have a cold and feel unwell? ”

"I..." Mama Zhao was almost choked by her son's stupid words, and her face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't say a word.

"Mother?" Although he doesn't spend much time with his mother, Zhao Dalang still cares about his mother very much about the nature of mother and son. Now seeing that the old lady's face was flushed abnormally, she temporarily forgot the nervousness of the new owner at first sight, and asked worriedly, "Why is your face so red, is there really something wrong?" ”

"Okay, mother, it's okay" Mama Zhao was worried that her son would ask more 'jokes', so she hurriedly responded, blinking her eyes and reminding Zhao Dalang, "Da Lang, the girl still wants to ask you, don't worry about the mess first." ”

"Oh oh", Zhao Dalang finally understood what the old lady meant, thinking of what he had just said stupidly, with a little embarrassment, a little shy, and asked: "Girl, these rice seeds are specially selected by me, they are all full, and they are all the best seeds." ”

"Well, good, very good" Wang Qifang's voice was a little smiling, and it was obvious that Zhao Dalang's simplicity pleased her. After all, the work she will give him is completely different from that of his brother Zhao Erlang, and she doesn't want him to be clever, on the contrary, she needs him to be honest and keep his duty.

Raising her eyes and seeing Mama Zhao's unnatural appearance, Wang Qifang was a little unbearable. Although the private conversation between Mama Zhao and Xiaoya was broken yesterday evening, the two of them did not have any explanation for it, which made Wang Qifang feel very uncomfortable, but this does not mean that she no longer trusts and cares about Mama Zhao, because she believes that Mama Zhao must have a last resort to hide it, not on purpose.

And the Zhao brothers are the people who the old man cares about the most, not for anything else, just because Mama Zhao has not abandoned herself for so many years, she will also treat her old man well - as for the secrets of Mama Zhao and Xiaoya, Wang Qifang believes that they will tell themselves one day, after all, they are the closest people to her.

Thinking of this, the lines of Wang Qifang's face became softer and softer, and I saw her bow lightly at Mama Zhao, and said soothingly, "Brother Da Lang is my milk brother, that is a family, and what he brought me is naturally the best——"

When Zhao Dalang heard this, his face, which was black and red due to embarrassment, suddenly flashed with a bright light, and he nodded eagerly to indicate that what Wang Qifang said was true.

Wang Qifang smiled and continued, "Since it is a good seed, it must have harvested a lot of grain, right? By the way, how many years can this rice be ripened in a year? ”

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Wang Qifang has never been in contact with farming, but in his previous life, he had heard about two crops a year, three crops a year, and hybrid rice, but I don't know if there has been any breakthrough in agriculture in this Great Zhou, which has been transformed by several predecessors.

"Back to the girl, in our hometown, because of the abundant rain and the right temperature, the rice can be harvested twice a year." Xu said that he was good at something, and Zhao Dalang was a little more confident in his words, "However, if it is planted in the suburbs of the capital, I may not be able to have such a good harvest." ”

It seems that Mama Zhao has told Zhao Dalang in advance about the errand he has to do, Wang Qifang nodded with satisfaction, and said confidently, "Don't be afraid, that Zhuangzi's soil quality is good, and the feng shui is also good." And I have already ordered someone to move a Bodhi tree over, there is a sacred tree of Buddhism, our crops can be harvested a bumper harvest at once, this rice planted in my farm, maybe than in the south when the maturity period is shorter, three times a year. ”

1. Three crops a year?

How can it be?

Zhao Dalang's eyes widened in disbelief, looking closely at the hazy figure behind the screen, and his rebuttal almost blurted out.

"That's it, the girl is a person with a big Buddha fate," Mama Zhao sensed her son's doubts about Wang Qifang, for fear that he would say something inappropriate, so she hurriedly accosted, "When I was in Qingzhou before, it was with the protection of the Bodhi tree that our cotton could grow so well, and it was more than a month earlier than the cotton from ordinary plantations." ”

"Huh? Cotton precocious? ”

Just now after listening to Wang Qifang's 'open mouth', Zhao Dalang mistakenly thought that Wang Qifang didn't understand farming at all, but now after listening to his mother's words, he realized that the Qingzhou triangular cloth that was popular in the Great Zhou was really made by the girl...... Hmm, since such a rare cotton can be grown, then such an ordinary crop as rice can also be grown, right?

Zhao Dalang hung his head, and a little joy flashed on his honest face - perhaps, if he followed the girl, he could really do something famous.

"Okay, I'll also take a look at the seeds, and then let's talk about how to run this Zhuangzi," Wang Qifang saw that Mama Zhao had lied for herself, and even used 'facts' to prove the miraculous effect of the Bodhi tree, and her heart was slightly relieved, "Our Zhuangzi is in Lingzhou, not far from the capital, and the land is fertile, and the rain is abundant, it is the most suitable grange for cultivation within a radius of hundreds of miles from Gyeonggi." ”

For this Zhuangzi, Wang Qifang did not go to it in person at first, from the land deed alone, this Zhuangzi is more than 300 acres, and there is a river in the middle, which naturally divides the whole grange into two parts, one large and one small, and is rented to two landlords by Wang Qifang's biological mother for farming.

After returning to the capital, she thought about taking back the two Zhuangzi, and the older one remained the same, planting some grain, fruits and vegetables, and Zhao Dalang was fully responsible; The small part was built into a holiday estate, built a few pastoral houses, and planted some food, fruits and vegetables and all kinds of flowers, so that she and her children had a place to take a vacation and live for a short time, of course, it would be better if she could cover the crops in her space.

But a few days ago, she took the time to take someone to actually take a look, and found that the Zhuangzi was not only of exceptionally good soil, but also located on the side of the official road, which was particularly convenient for entering Beijing or going to other surrounding towns. It would be a bit of a waste to treat such a grange with an excellent geographical location as an ordinary grain growing area.

It just so happened that Wang Qifang was also thinking about opening a shop at that time, and combined with the farm in front of her, she really came up with other uses - the grange was still divided into two parts according to the natural boundaries, but the large part she wanted to build a holiday estate, and the small part was built into an ordinary grange.

"Manor? Girl, do you mean to build an elaborate yard surrounded by all kinds of fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants, and then plant wheat and rice on the surrounding land, so that when the guests come, they can pick their own fruits and vegetables or grains, or they can soak in the hot springs? ”

After listening to Wang Qifang's plan, Zhao Dalang thought for a long time, and finally understood what she meant. He scratched his head and asked, a little confused.

"It can also be understood in this way, but most of the guests we do are wives, young grandmothers and little ladies from major mansions in the capital."

Wang Qifang saw Zhao Dalang's blank face, and knew that the content she talked about involved too many things about holiday farmhouses and private clubs in later generations, not to mention a simple farmer, even a clever businessman like Zhao Erlang may not be able to comprehend these concepts. After thinking about it, she simply simplified the complexity and vaguely recognized Zhao Dalang's understanding.

"Oh," still didn't understand, Zhao Dalang scratched his head for a long time, and still didn't understand what the girl meant. Alas, I really don't know what the girl is going to do? Invite people all the way to Ling County to pick fruits? Oh, although he has lived in the countryside for a long time, he Zhao Dalang still understands the behavior of those rich wives in the city. Not to mention letting these pampered wives pick fruits by themselves, even if people really want to pick them, they will go to their own Zhuangzi to pick them, so why bother to go to the girl's Zhuangzi?

Could it be that what else is unique about the girl's Zhuangzi?

Hmm, is it a hot spring?

Hiss~~ No, no, in the suburbs of the capital, there are a lot of hot springs, if you soak in the hot springs, there is no need to go to the farm outside the capital.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Mama Zhao saw that her son began to think crankily again, worried that he would be stunned and ask something that would make Qi Niang unhappy, so she hurriedly coughed twice and reminded her.

This time, Zhao Dalang was quite clever and did not mistake his mother's prompts. I saw him clear his throat and say to Wang Qifang: "The little one understands, I don't know what the little one can do for the girl?" That, the small one can't do anything but farm."

"Hehe, Brother Da Lang, don't worry, I let you come, just to give full play to your strengths," Zhao Mama's movements were so obvious, Wang Qifang naturally saw it, she chuckled, "Isn't my Zhuangzi divided into two parts, the small one is Beiyuan, which is kept to grow some food crops, and Da Lang, you, are specially responsible for staying in Beiyuan and helping me take care of those crops...... Of course, Nanyuan will also grow some crops, and someone will need to take care of it then-"

"Don't worry, girl, I can do all this"

Hey, isn't it just farming, let's listen to Wang Qifang's words, Zhao Dalang's face was full of confidence, and he was busy patting his chest to make a statement.

"Okay, then I'll hand over Zhuangzi to you," Wang Qifang was not polite, let alone questioned Zhao Dalang's ability, but simply agreed, "By the way, don't you still have two sons, I hired them together." In addition, in the afternoon, you should first go to Zhuangzi to see what kind of crops are good to plant, and how many are needed, and make a list of them, so that I can have people prepare the seeds. Also, Zhuangzi has a lot of fields, and it is estimated that your grandfather and the third son may not be able to take care of it, so when you go, you will also take a look, estimate how many farmers are more appropriate, calculate the specific amount, and report it to me together."

"Hey, don't worry, girl, we'll take care of your 'holiday estate' in a good time."

When Zhao Dalang heard that his sons' errand had also been implemented, he was overjoyed, and his chest was 'snapping'.

P: I broke it once yesterday and made it up tomorrow. Woo, sitting on a bullet train that is easy to be struck by lightning, a certain Sa who only arrived home in the middle of the night last night, expressed strong hatred for this kind of fatal business trip that day trip
