"Well, this year's year is good, and two acres of rice have been harvested in Bashi Valley."

"Eight Stone ???"

"Eight Stone !!"

The boatmen all around shouted in amazement.

"Two acres and eight stones? Four stones per mu? ”

"Good boy! There is a place where the yield of four stones per mu is broken! I always thought that all three stones had to meet a good year. ”

"Little brother, where are you from? I see that you also boarded the boat in Qinghe County, are you from the village below Qinghe? Can you talk to me about how you grow rice? How can the harvest be so good! ”

“……”

It's been a lively journey.

Everyone gathered around Xu Yin and his family to exchange farming experiences.

Although some are merchants or scholars who come and go from the south to the north, there are indispensable croppers facing the loess and facing the sky, so they naturally know what it means to produce four stones per mu.

The people take food as the sky, but anything that can make a breakthrough in the yield per mu is the top priority for the people.

Cui Mengjin only said that someone in their village has invented a new type of fertilizer that can increase the yield of crops, and the composting method is also very simple, and every household in their village has learned it.

"Wow!"

Not only the passengers, but also the boatmen couldn't help but prick up their ears.

I was so excited that I couldn't wait to go back to the countryside and the village now to teach my family how to pile up and apply new fertilizer.

This is something Xu Yin didn't expect.

She made bamboo tube rice purely nutritious, delicious and easy to carry, but she didn't expect to accidentally advertise a new type of fertilizer.

After coming out, I haven't found the lotus root yet, but I first pulled a wave of potential energy points for myself to reward customers.

Kaisen!

With this topic, which attracts young and old, the relationship between the passengers has also become harmonious, whether they know each other or not, they can get together to chat a few words, and the journey is very smooth.

Coupled with a smooth wind, the passenger boat docked at the state capital pier just before sunset.

On the shore, Xu Yin and the two were about to find an inn to settle in.

"Little brother, please stay!"

Liu Yuanwai, who was sitting in the back row of Cui Mengjin on the boat, caught up with a shy stomach and panting:

"It's the first time you've come to Chunzhou Mansion? What kind of inn are you looking for? Go to my house! My house is not far from the front, and the two of them have been in Chunzhou Mansion for a few days, and they can live in my house with peace of mind. ”

"No, no, no!"

"You're welcome, let's go!"

"Daddy! Father! ”

"Look, my son has come to pick me up in a carriage! Get in the car, get on the bus! I'll talk about it when I get to my house. ”

Liu Yuanwai was so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but say that he wanted to invite Xu Yin and the others to the house as guests.

Although he spent money to buy a foreigner, but in essence he was still a rich man who made a fortune by growing grain, and when he heard that the yield per mu had increased by more than one stone, his heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to rush back to the countryside Zhuangzi on the same day, urging the long-term workers to give him new fertilizer.

"Little brother, you can teach me how to pile that new manure when you go back. On the boat, there are a lot of people, and my ears are not very good, so I don't hear too clearly. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yin and Comrade Xiao Jin exchanged glances, boarded the carriage, and went to his house with Liu Yuanwai.

This time, Xu Yin was happy-

In the back garden of Liu Yuanwai's house, a pond of lotus flowers was planted.

It is said that his seventh wife was born in Jiangnan, and she especially likes to appreciate lotus, and she is a foreign breeder of Liu Yuan.

Although this season, the lotus flowers have long since withered, and there is only a pool of residual lotus left.

But if there is a lotus, are you still afraid that there is no lotus root?

"Master Liu, I don't know if your Zhuangzi is far from here? If it's not far away, we can go to the field to teach. We are stupid and easy to articulate. But let's do it again, and you can't go wrong. ”

"Huh? What's so embarrassing about that? Liu Yuanwai was both happy and unhappy, and hurriedly asked his wife to help clean up the guest room, "Clean up the largest guest house!" I want to entertain the Cui brothers and their husbands and wives. ”

So, Xu Yin and his family lived in Liu Yuanwai's house, went to Liu Zhuang outside the city during the day to teach the workers there to make fertilizer, and came back to live at night.

Liu Yuanwai was grateful, and repeatedly said that he wanted to prepare a generous gift to thank them.

Xu Yin took the opportunity to ask: "Master Liu, there is no need for generous gifts, can you give me a few lotus roots." ”

"Lotus root? What's that? ”

Xu Yin: "......"

I planted a pond of lotus flowers, but I don't know what a lotus root is?

Liu Yuanwai really didn't know that although he favored the seventh lady the most, he only went more at night, and he didn't have much time at home during the day, but he didn't have the leisure to enjoy the lotus with his daughter.

He waved his hand and asked the maid to call the Seventh Lady Jiang, who liked lotus.

Of course, Jiang knew about lotus roots, but she asked her master to dig a lotus pond in the back garden and let the gardener plant the lotus seeds brought by Jiangnan to appreciate the lotus, not for the lotus root buried in the pickled mud.

"Sir!" Jiang pinched the embroidered handkerchief and shook Liu Yuan's outside, and said with disgust, "What the concubine appreciates is that the lotus is out of the mud without staining, and the lotus root is so dirty, the concubine doesn't like it!" ”

Xu Yin looked at the nose and nose and heart: If there is no lotus root, you can say where to enjoy the lotus flowers, right?

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "The Jiang family is spoiled by me, don't mind." Brother Cui, brother and sister, if you like this lotus root, I will send someone to dig it, dig as much as you want, and dig it all up. ”

Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth: Dig it all up? Then next spring and summer, your seventh lady will not be looking forward to the lotus for a long time, I am afraid that I will have to settle accounts with you.

Busy said: "Don't dig too much, we just want to take a few sections back to try all kinds of things, to see if the lotus root in the south of the Yangtze River can be planted in our Qinghe County." ”

"Chunzhou Mansion is not far from Qinghe County, we can grow here, and Qinghe County can also grow well."

"Then inherit the auspicious words of Master Liu!"

Exporting fertilizer technology and exchanging 50 catties of lotus root seeds, this trip to Chunzhou Mansion was not in vain!

Not only that, when Xu Yin was shopping in Chunzhou Mansion, she saw a foreign merchant selling a batch of seeds brought from a border town.

"Take a look! Don't miss it when you walk by! The seeds I sell are guaranteed to be able to grow, and I don't need money if I don't live! ”

Xu Yin squatted down and swept a few swarthy seeds in the corner at a glance, weren't they the watermelon seeds she had been paying attention to?

Hey! It's a no-brainer!

"Guest, you are really eye-catching! This new seed was brought from the border of the Western Regions with great effort, and it almost fell into the hands of the bandits halfway, and when I fled for my life, I dropped a seed bag, and that's all I have left, and you can take it with you. ”

Seven or eight watermelon seeds cost 20 yuan? This price is not ordinarily expensive!

The stall owner saw that she was silent, and the tall and burly young man on the side was still frowning, obviously thinking that the price was too high, and he was worried about the fat sheep who finally came to the door...... Ah no, the business was in vain, and he neatly mixed a few seeds from the seed pile on the side that were not common in the local area: "I see that the guest officer sincerely wants to buy it, and I will give you a few more to make an addition." ”
