"Miss Fang, how did you grow radishes before?" Jin Erlang asked first.

"I planted radishes too densely before," Fang Hanmo sighed, "Aren't radishes planted in all seasons?" My last crop of radishes was planted in the summer, and it was too densely planted at that time, and the radishes did not grow well. ”

Jin Erlang glanced at the radish in the vegetable field: "This time it was planted too thinly, and the distance between radishes and radishes was ......"

He stretched out his hand and gestured on the ground: "It's about this wide!" ”

"I know, then I'll plant so wide in the future!" Fang Hanmo said happily.

"That's not going to work." Jin Erlang shook his head.

"Why not?" Fang Hanmo asked suspiciously.

Jin Erlang said: "There are many varieties of radish, and the spacing of different radishes is not the same, for example, the spacing of cherry radishes is not so wide, the spacing is about two or three inches, and for example, the size of the May carrot is about ......."

"You're amazing!" After Fang Hanmo finished listening, he was in awe, "Look at it again, why do the radishes I grow always crack the roots?" It looks so ugly! ”

"Miss Fang, in the process of growing radish, be careful when weeding, don't hurt the roots of the radish, and you won't crack the roots and fork the roots." Jin Erlang explained.

"I see! So why do other people grow big turnips, but I grow small turnips? It's all the same radish seeds," Fang Hanmo asked puzzled, "Could it be that others are selling me inferior seeds?" ”

"Miss Fang, when you planted radish, did you carry out interspersed seedlings?"

"Seedlings?"

"When the radish grows its first true leaves, we have to thin the seedlings, and we leave only the strong radishes, and the other weaker radishes have to be pulled out."

"So it's going to be like this!" Fang Hanmo nodded, "What else?" ”

"There is also the method of using core digging and leaf skimming to promote the expansion of radish."

"What are heart-digging and leaf-skimming?"

"Let's talk about leaf skimming first, leaf skimming is to cut off all the leaves on the outside of the radish, so that the radish will not grow upward, and will focus on expanding the roots. The method of digging the heart is more complicated......"

Jin Erlang spoke in great detail.

Fang Hanmo listened and said, "Bring me a pen and paper, I want to write it all down!" It's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years! My turnips over the years are really white! ”

Aunt Jin asked cautiously, "Is Miss Fang the lady of the house?" ”

"Yes and no," Fang Hanmo smiled heartily, "This matter is a long story, after my courtesy, you will all know!" ”

"I didn't expect that Miss Fang was a young lady, and she was still working in the fields like people in our countryside, I thought that the officials in the yamen all asked people to go to the tile market to buy vegetables, but I didn't expect that you actually planted vegetables in the county ya." Aunt Jin was surprised.

"I know this!" Xiao Yuan Bao patted his little chest and said very proudly.

"What do you know? Little sister. Fang Hanmo squatted down and looked at her with a smile.

"I know why the county government can grow vegetables!" Little Ingot cleared his throat, "That's how it happened!

"I've heard my husband tell me about this history.

"When our dynasty was first opened, the emperor hated corrupt officials very much, and all corrupt officials were beheaded! No matter how much you are greedy or how little you are greedy!

"At that time, 20,000 corrupt officials died all over the country, and blood flowed like a river!

"But there are still people who are corrupt!

"Because, the officials at that time were too low!

"It's a fool's dream to feed a few people in the family!

"There have been records of officials who embezzled as little as 10 liters of rice and ended up beheaded.

"At that time, everyone in the officials was worried!

"So what to do?

"There was an official who was very smart, and he came up with a solution, which was to grow vegetables in the yamen, so that as long as he didn't eat meat, he would not starve to death!

Later, more and more officials followed suit, and everyone opened vegetable fields in the yamen!

"Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"But can paper hold the fire?

"One day, when the emperor found out about this, he was very angry! He ordered that these officials who grow vegetables should be severely punished! Say that they damage the image of the majesty of the imperial court! ”

"So what to do?" Aunt Jin asked nervously, "Won't you want to be beheaded too?" ”

"That's not it, it's just that I lost my black yarn hat," the little ingots shook his head and sighed heavily like a little adult, "It's really wronged!" ”

"And then?" Aunt Jin urged.

"Then there were officials who admonished the emperor and told the emperor a lot of truths, saying how poor the officials of this dynasty were, and they were really forced to be helpless!

"After the emperor found out, he didn't pursue the matter anymore! He thinks that growing vegetables is also very good, which shows that the officials are honest, which is the blessing of the people!

"So he began to encourage this kind of behavior, and at the same time, he also raised his salary a little, and the officials were much better." The little ingots finished telling the story.

Fang Hanmo took her words and said, "Then this custom has been handed down. Speaking of which, this vegetable garden is still left over from the last county order! I picked up a ready-made one, but I didn't have to start from scratch! ”

"Miss Fang loves to grow vegetables?" Aunt Jin was a little surprised.

"I've loved growing vegetables since I was a kid! It's been 10 years now! Fang Hanmo smiled lightly.

"It's different from other big ladies." Aunt Jin muttered.

A different color flashed on Fang Hanmo's face.

Oh, yes.

She's so different.

So no other girl wants to play with her.

In her good time, she could only face a room of mothers-in-law, maids, and vegetables.

But everyone has their own preferences.

She likes to grow vegetables and doesn't break the law.

If you don't have friends, you don't have friends.

If you don't get recognized, you won't be recognized.

"The sister of labor is the most glorious! Little ingots like my sister the most! The little ingots said sweetly and crisply.

"Ouch, you're so cute!" Fang Hanmo thought, if it weren't for the dirt on her hands, she would definitely hold her little face and kiss this lovely child.

At this time, Granny Cui brought a pen and paper, and she put the pen and paper on the stone table beside her.

Fang Hanmo was not pretentious at all, she walked to the spring water attracted by the rockery, bent down and washed her hands, walked to the stone table, lifted the brush, and said to Jin Erlang: "You go on!" I still have questions, why do the radishes I grow always be spicy? ”

"Radishes are not tender because of drought and because of lack of fertilizer. In the process of growing the radish, we have to apply fertilizer to the radish three times, the first time is the base fertilizer......"

"Is that a guarantee that it will grow well?"

"I heard Miss Fang say earlier that you have planted a round of summer radishes before, which is not very suitable, and radishes should not be planted continuously, otherwise it will affect the yield."

"What else?"

"Also, I have just observed the soil of the vegetable field, and it is best to plant radishes in sandy loam soil, and all the soil clods in the upper and lower layers should be broken, and wide ridges should be piled up!"

"Oh, I still have a question......"

……

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and they forgot the time for a while.

One asks, one answers.

Fang Hanmo's pen is fast.

She only felt that she had lived for more than ten years and found her soulmate for the first time.

The prefectural magistrate and the prefectural lady waited in the study for a long time, but they didn't see the guests coming, so they couldn't help but be puzzled.

They walked out with their little daughter and saw the two of them chatting speculatively from a distance.

"That's the reason!" Mrs. County Commander shook her head, "Hanmo is really a rookie!" She's a person today, but she can be regarded as having found someone to talk to! In the past, those mothers-in-law and maids who didn't know how to grow vegetables were annoyed to death by her! ”

"Look, Hanmo is about to finish, time flies so fast." The county magistrate sighed.

"Yes, we can finally recognize this daughter," Mrs. County Commander wiped her tears, "Hanxiang can finally call her sister openly!" ”

"It's going to be fine! Everything will be fine! The prefectural magistrate patted her on the shoulder.

At this moment, Fang Hanmo turned his head and saw them at a glance: "Auntie, uncle!" Come here! I'm here with the guests of the house! ”

The prefectural magistrate and the prefectural lady walked over.

Fang Hanmo is obviously their biological daughter, why do they call them aunt and uncle?

Even, everyone in the county government knows Fang Hanmo's identity, but they never admit her identity generously in front of outsiders, and let her live as Miss Biao, what is the reason for this?

That's a long story.

Everything will not know the answer until after her salute.

After the county magistrate and the county magistrate walked over, Fang Hanmojiao smiled and said to them: "Auntie, uncle, look, the distinguished guests you invited are more likely to grow vegetables!" Is this your special guest for me? ”

"No," Mrs. County Ling shook her head with a light smile, "This is our distinguished guest specially invited for Hanxiang!" ”

"Shall I invite them to my ceremony?" Fang Hanmo shook her arm, "Auntie, you are the best aunt in the world!" ”

"Yes, of course!" Mrs. County Commander nodded her nose, her eyes were full of pampering, "I will agree to whatever you say!" ”

"I knew that my aunt was the best!" Fang Hanmo smiled sweetly.

"Don't slack off people! The young man in front of you is a capable man! People have figured out the way to soak out-of-season bean sprouts, and also figured out a new way to cultivate out-of-season vegetables! The cost is much lower than the old way! The prefectural magistrate said solemnly.

How did he know?

He casually asked while chatting with Li Zheng, which Li Zheng told him.

"He's amazing!" Fang Hanmo looked at Jin Erlang with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"I'm not good," Jin Erlang said with some embarrassment, "My sister said that the talent who reads is the most powerful, and there is a golden house in the book, and there is a thousand golden millets in the book!" ”

"Wow, you're still knowledgeable!" Fang Hanmo admired it even more.

"That's all I can say," Jin Erlang said honestly, "I don't know many words, and now my sister is teaching me to read!" ”

"But you're motivated!" Fang Hanmo said affirmatively, "You are really amazing! ”

"Miss Fang has read more books than me, and she must be much better than me!" Jin Erlang became more and more embarrassed by what she said.

"You've inspired me! Before I met you, I prided myself on growing vegetables, but in fact I was working behind closed doors every day! You see that you are in the countryside, and there are people who teach by word and deed, so you know how to grow vegetables very well! I am confined to this small courtyard every day, and the people around me don't know how to grow vegetables, if I don't read more agricultural books, I can't imagine how much progress I have made in my life! ”

Saying that, Fang Hanmo proposed: "Then we agree, I will invite you to see my courtesy." After that, let's move on to the discussion and see how much we've improved each other in this time! ”

Fang Hanmo patted Jin Erlang's shoulder generously: "I won't let you down!" ”

"I'm looking forward to it." Jin Erlang lowered his head and blushed slightly.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the front hall for tea." Mrs. Prefectural Commander said.

Aunt Jin reacted in hindsight and cramped to salute them.

"No need to salute, you are my invited guests!" The county magistrate waved his hand, "Let's go to the front hall for tea, and then introduce the two little guys to each other!" ”

"My name is Yuan Baohua, nickname Xiao Yuanbao!" Xiao Yuanbao said to the little girl hiding behind Mrs. County Order, "I'm five years old this year, can I make a friend?" ”

The little girl glanced at Mrs. Prefectural with some timidity.

"Go." Mrs. Prefectural touched her head encouragingly.

"My name is Bai Hanxiang, nicknamed Little Dragonfly." The little girl said with her head down.

"I'm five years old!" Little Ingot took her hand.

"I'm five years old, too!"

"I'm almost six years old!"

"Then I call you sister?" The little dragonfly looked up and tilted its head.

"No!" The little ingots shook their heads vigorously.

The two little girls looked at each other and smiled.

Children's friendship came so quickly.

They went to the front hall to drink a cup of tea, and the county lady saw that her daughter couldn't sit still, so she asked her daughter to go to the yard with Xiao Yuanbao to play.

Soon, the sound of two little girls chatting came from the courtyard.

The two of them had a good conversation.

On this day, Xiao Yuan Bao made a very good friend.

When the Jin family left, the little dragonfly was particularly reluctant.

Fang Hanmo is also very reluctant.

They agreed on a time for their next meeting.

The next time we meet, it will be the time for Fang Hanmo to perform and salute.
