Chapter 1044: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of the Farmer's Lucky Girl (40)
The county magistrate took the seeds and the idea of "a bucket of ginger mountain" and happily returned to the county office.
Xu Yin simply divided the few remaining seeds and gave a handful to each member of the literacy class.
"See? These seeds are even cherished by the county commanders, you take them home to cultivate well, whoever plants well, I will reward him with a lotus shower head, and when the lotus root is harvested in autumn, you can also pick one. β
"Oh, we've got a reward, too!"
This made the cubs who didn't get the top three rewards cheer happily, carefully took the seeds, and went home to breed.
When their family learned that these seeds were even valued by the county order, how could they not support it?
Not only support, but also rushed to serve, for fear that the little cub is not light or heavy, and if he hurts these seeds, he can't plant them when he turns back, and if he loses the reward, it's a big thing, and it's a big thing to waste the seeds of the Western Regions.
The remaining handfuls are planted by Xu Yin in the experimental field of her own vegetable garden.
Of course she knew what seeds they were, cauliflower, onions, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, kale, and so on.
That's right, she also mixed sweet potato seeds, the king of high-yielding crops.
Sweet potatoes can generally be planted directly with tubers, but the tubers are too big, when I bought seeds in Chunzhou Mansion, Comrade Xiao Jin was by my side, and she couldn't make small moves.
Fortunately, I had a bag of high-quality sweet potato seeds in my hand, and I forgot which small world hoarded them, so I took them out and mixed a few grains in them, hoping to let more people have enough to eat.
During this period, Xiaowa Village started a collective lotus pond.
It's just that although it is called a lotus pond, this year it does not plant lotus roots, and ducks are raised first.
The hatched ducklings are placed in the duck shed built next to the lotus pond, and when they grow up, they rush to the rice field to weed and peck insects, and when the rice field is released, they are allowed to go to the lotus pond to forage freely.
With the collective lotus pond, the villagers are busy with the summer harvest, and they don't have to go to the town to do short-term work, and they will communicate with each other every day how much work they have earned, and look forward to how much money they can share at the end of the year.
Once life is fulfilled, there will be less unpleasantness caused by trivial things, and the large and small villages under the jurisdiction of Lizheng will be harmonious.
Xu Yin didn't notice the changes in the village, and the lotus flowers in her lotus pond bloomed!
The pink buds, around the summer harvest, are rushing to bloom, and the large petals with pink in white are opened in layers, revealing bright yellow stamens.
So, after the summer harvest, Xu Yin would come to the lotus pond every morning.
Comrade Xiao Jin sat in the gazebo fishing, and she sat next to him with her chin propped up to enjoy the lotus.
Watching the lotus flowers bloom from the first bloom to full bloom, watching the lotus heart grow a lotus canopy, and watching the fish frolic among the lotus leaves, the mood is wonderful.
The freshness and beauty in front of her made her feel that this was a leisurely vacation world!
In the small world of cultivation, apart from being able to get some spiritual spring spiritual fog and spiritual lake water, what else is there?
System:......
That's for you to nourish the spirit, not for you to replenish the stock.
"Thirsty?"
Cui Mengjin just caught a grass carp, threw it into the bucket on the side, added bait, threw the fishing rod back into the lake, and turned his head to look at Xu Yin, "Drink some water?" β
He picked up the kettle on his left hand side, and was about to pour her a glass, when he heard Li Zheng's loud voice:
"Meng Jinβ"
"Meng Jin's daughter-in-lawβ"
Xu Yin couldn't help but be happy: "Do you think that Li Zheng has been getting younger and younger recently?" Is this what is often said to be 'people are in good spirits when they are happy'? β
As soon as the words fell, Li Zheng's hearty laughter came: "Meng Jin's daughter-in-law, how did you guess that there was a happy event?" β
ββ¦β¦β
What a great event!
Chen County's order allocated 500 taels of silver to their small and small villages, saying that they supported them to build collective lotus ponds and related workshops.
On the surface, it was the collective lotus pond of Daxiaowa Village that inspired the four princes, and the twists and turns handed over to the villages in various places to carry out collective projects according to local conditions were appreciated by His Majesty, in fact, it was mainly the credit of the bucket of Jiang Shan.
The four princes have been canonized as princes!
He wanted to reward Cui Mengjin and his wife, but he was worried that he would be discovered by other princes, just like when he found out about the existence of the couple through Zhou Zhihai, it would be worth the loss to make a small move against his back when the time came, so Chen Zhanpeng funded a reward in the name of supporting the collective lotus pond in Daxiaowa Village.
Chen County ordered Li Zheng to take out 100 taels and reward the villagers who supported the collective lotus pond project according to the merit.
Xu Yin, the proposer, gave the most credit, and was allocated 30 taels, Li Zheng collected 10 taels, and the remaining 60 taels were equally divided between the strong labor and the people who provided the duck seedlings in the early stage of cleaning up the lotus pond silt in the early stage of the two villages. There are also about one or two per person.
Before the Chinese New Year, there was money to take, and everyone's hearts were even hotter.
Seeing that the Xu family only got thirty taels, Chen County Ling felt that it was too little, but he couldn't regret letting Li Zheng redistribute it, so he took another fifty taels out of his own pocket and rewarded her in the name of the seeds of the Western Regions.
Xu Yin asked curiously, "Have all the seeds brought back by the adults been planted?" β
Otherwise, what would she do with rewarding her?
Chen County Order: "......"
Well, he sent someone to send the bag of seeds to the prince along with the idea of "a bucket of ginger mountain", and the prince did not mention this matter in this letter, so where did he know if it had been planted.
I had to say vaguely: "It's being tested." β
Xu Yin thought that he was busy with official business and didn't pay attention to the progress, so he didn't care.
Those seeds are selected and cultivated through several generations, and the survival rate is extremely high.
She was worried that after planting, these people would not know how to eat and waste, so she asked the county order to move to her backyard.
"My lord, this is planted by the folk woman with the remaining seeds, but the time is still short, and there are only these kinds of mature ones at present......
This is supposed to be a fruit, sweet and juicy to eat, and before it is ripe, it is often frequented by birds. Adults can taste it, because there are not many, and the rest of the women plan to keep the seeds and plant them again next year.
This kind of flower-like vegetable, the woman doesn't know what it's called, it looks like a flower, so she simply calls it a cauliflower, the woman and the head of the house have already tasted it, the taste is OK, the adults take a few back to try it.
This kind of red fruit, the woman originally thought it was a fruit, and it was sweet and sour when eaten raw, but she didn't expect it to be able to be made into a dish, and the scrambled eggs and boiled soup were delicious......"
Chen Xian Ling was amazed: "I didn't expect the dishes in the Western Regions to be so ...... Uh, peculiar. Some look like flowers, and some look like fruits......"
He decided to write a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he went back, and don't throw them away as poisonous weeds and poisonous fruits because they don't look like ordinary vegetables and fruits.
Xu Yin nodded to the end.
No way, sweet potatoes and onions are still ripe.
In particular, onions have the longest growth process, and it will be next year when they can be eaten, so please invite the prefectural order to come to your house to taste it. I just hope that they don't use the green leaves of sweet potatoes and onions as vegetables, because before the fruit grows, they eat the leaves and turn the ground, and then they will blind her seeds.
