Chapter 109: Soaking seeds
I asked about Lin Bei, the whereabouts of the gentleman in the county.
I offended him hard last time, and Gu Junlan was always afraid that he would find revenge.
But in the end, I learned from Lin Bei's mouth that Lian Jingyi seemed to be gone.
A few days after that Yamen made trouble, there has been no news in Qingyuan County that he is out of line.
And except for Lian Jingyi, Wu Jinyuan has never appeared.
Gu Junlan occasionally went to Wu's house to have a look when she was free, but the copper lock hanging on the door still didn't move, only the weeds that gradually grew outside the house......

After the cellar was tidied up, Gu Junlan asked people to go to the county to buy a few large water tanks.
She did what the book said, sifted the remaining grains, put them in the vat, and began to soak the seeds.
There were no chemical pesticides in ancient times, so Gu Junlan chose to soak seeds in salt water.
With so many grains, it takes a few kilograms of salt to be used in a tank.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, salt was controlled by the government.
But when it comes to Gu Junlan, it fully reflects the sentence that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do.
Lin Bei watched Gu Junlan mix the proportion of salt water, and poured bags of grain seeds into the tank, and his heart twitched with nervousness.
"Jun Lan, you ......"
Can't you just take some of it out and try it out?
What if it doesn't work out?
But seeing her confident appearance, Lin Bei stopped again.
After taking care of the things, Gu Junlan wrote down all the matters to be paid attention to and handed them to Lin Bei, and then became the shopkeeper.
In Gu Junlan's heart, she is just helping to make a start, and it is better to let those who know more about this aspect take charge of the rest of the things.
After all, I'm just a halfway monk.
Lin Bei pointed out a few good farms, and also went to Landlord Liu's house to ask for a few long-term workers.
Not only that, but in the past two days, he himself has been circling around the cellar in addition to eating and sleeping.

"It's budding! It's budding! ”
Gu Junlan and Gu were discussing in the courtyard what to raise in addition to rice ducks at home this year, when they heard shouts of excitement from far and near.
After a while, Lin Bei ran in, and smiled with Gu Junlan with a happy face: "Junlan girl, the rice seeds have sprouted!" ”
Seeing his unshaven beard, Gu Junlan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
However, not wanting to dampen his self-confidence, Gu Junlan told him to put the seeds in the cellar and cultivate them, and when the seedlings grow to more than two inches tall, they can be moved to the field.
The closer one gets to success, the more excited one becomes.
Seeing that the seedlings in the cellar are rising more and more gratifying, in addition to the Gu family's old house and Liu Zhaodi's house, the villagers of Liuli Village are also overjoyed day by day.
"Hmph, cheap hoof, give you some benefits and you will be able to eat inside and out! You don't want to think that your husband is still in prison! Could it be that you want to be widowed at a young age? ”
Seeing that Zhao Xiangyun, like other people, took out half of the Liu family's acres of dry land and turned it into paddy fields, doing a good job, Liu Zhaodi always felt that she was blocked in her heart.
She didn't dare to trouble Gu Junlan anymore, so she used Zhao Xiangyun to vent her anger at home all day long.
While doing housework, Zhao Xiangyun thought about what Gu Junlan said to him in her heart, took a deep breath, and endured her resentment.
Seeing that she didn't squeak, the words that came out of Liu Zhaodi's mouth became more and more vicious.
And the Gu family's old house, although the big room and the second room are not visible on their faces, they are also happy in their hearts.
After all, last autumn, they really saw the Gu family harvest two acres of rice.
Gu Li was also happy about the ability of his daughter and granddaughter, but no one wanted to touch Gu Youtian's moldy head.
Because until now, he still thinks that Gu Junlan can grow rice because she and Liu Fengnian are too close.
