Chapter 333: Making a wedding dress for someone
"This ...... This......? ”
The officials in the Huangzhuang are really right about one thing, Xie Qiping has been reading, and everything is read a lot in books.
I really don't know much about farming.
But even if he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean he's not smart.
Soon, I figured out the reason why Mrs. Ning asked her subordinates to dig the ground like this.
If the land is on a slope, first of all, the farmer will find it very inconvenient.
It is also possible that, if one is not careful, he will roll down the hillside.
Even if you don't fall to your death, it's very possible to break your arm or leg.
Now digging into such a trapezoidal shape, Xie Qiping can imagine that when he digs to the bottom layer of the hillside, he will go up the mountain in the future, just like going up the steps, and there is no need to climb up obliquely like now.
Moreover, because each piece of land is more than two feet wide, most of the stones in the mud have been dug out and piled up at the edge of the ground.
The first is to fix the shape of the ladder, and the other is to prevent the water from rushing down directly from the top of the hillside when it rains or waters, and to ensure that the soil and water are not lost.
This is really wonderful.
Regarding Xie Qiping's repeated praises, Ning Pengpeng just smiled.
As long as you are a modern person, in fact, you will know at a glance at such a shape of land, this is the terraced fields in Yunnan and Guangxi.
However, because they are located in a hilly area, the terraced fields dug are also large, some of them are strip-shaped, and some are wavy.
Ning Pengpeng only changed it slightly, after all, this is just a slope, not a hill.
"Lord Xie, you see, there are only a few people sent to us in the imperial village, if they are asked to dig up all the terraced fields and plant them again, I'm afraid it's a little too late.
Therefore, it is better to let two people loosen the soil on the top piece of land first, plant sweet potatoes, and cultivate sweet potato vine seedlings first.
I believe that after all the fields on this stone slope are turned into terraces, the vines that grow from these planted sweet potatoes should already be able to be cut!
What do you think? ”
Hearing Ning Pengpeng say this, Xie Qiping's eyes suddenly lit up, this is good, two-pronged.
What made him feel most comfortable was that this old lady Ning was really good at being a person.
It was obviously a solution she came up with, but between the lines, she put him in front of her for instructions, and in the end, let him make a decision.
"Just do as you say, and you will watch the sweet potatoes planted on it.
I'll supervise the digging of the ground below. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
This sweet potato is only half a basket, and only two plots of land are needed to raise seedlings.
It means that after planting, Ning Pengpeng can rest!
However, she is not a white-eyed person, so naturally it is impossible for her to really go to rest after planting.
Xie Qiping saw the old lady Ning who brought people to dig the ground together after planting the sweet potatoes, and felt that this old lady was really on the road.
If it is a man's body, such a delicate heart, it is estimated that he can mix in the officialdom better than him.
However, although they are not very well manned, fortunately the stone slope is not very large.
When the terraces were all dug up, it only took more than ten days, and the sweet potato seedlings only took about 20 days.
Xie Qiping took Mrs. Ning to climb to the top every day, looking at the green sweet potato vines, and the joy in his heart bloomed directly on his face.
It seems that this terraced field is the country he laid.
In the remaining few days, Ning Pengpeng didn't let people be idle, after all, after digging this terrace, he had to dig a pit for all the loose soil!
At that time, it is also convenient to cut the sweet potato vine, and it can be planted in time.
I learned that Xie Qiping and Ning Pengpeng planted sweet potatoes that had grown sweet potato vines so quickly.
The officials in the Huangzhuang were stunned at first, but they still didn't believe that with the cut rattan, they could grow so many crops!
Therefore, I didn't pay attention to the news reported by my subordinates.
When Ning Pengpeng followed Xie Qiping from Mingzhou Mansion to the capital, it was already mid-April.
When she left the palace, she dug terraces and planted sweet potatoes, and when the sweet potato seedlings were raised, it was already May, and she just planted this sweet potato.
Ning Pengpeng led people to cut all these sweet potato vines, and then planted these sweet potato vines in turn in the pit dug in the loose soil.
All that's left is for people to water and fertilize.
The water is the water from the river on the edge of the Huangzhuang, but the fertilizer is taken by Ning Pengpeng to soak it.
A mixture of human feces, inedible rotten leaves, animal manure, weeds, straw, etc., is buried in a pit, and then sealed with something on top, waiting for the contents to ferment and rot naturally.
When he got these things, Xie Qiping covered his nose and ran away, where did he suffer from this kind of smell.
After doing all this, I just waited for the days to pass.
After all, this sweet potato does not grow in a day, at least in about four months.
And after Xie Futai left Mingzhou Mansion with Ning Pengpeng, Lai Xingchun, who originally wanted to attack the Ning family again, received a reply from the three princes of the capital.
During this time, Emperor Jin He paid great attention to his sons, so Zhang Guifei repeatedly told his son to be obedient during this time and not to make any moths.
And the Ning family is just mud legs from the countryside, even if there is any way to make money, they are not in a hurry to meet at this time.
After all, no matter how much the Ning family earns, when the time comes, won't all the money earned be to make wedding dresses for others?
Seeing this, Lai Xingchun did not continue to attack the Ning family.
However, there is still some pity in my heart.
After all, Xie Futai's return to Beijing to report on his work was a rare and good opportunity to start.
It's just that as long as the third prince gets that position, he will start in the future, and he won't have to be afraid of Xie Qiping's old horseman at all!
Also at this time, Ning Laosan and Ning Laosi came back with Liu Hu and Qingniang.
After unloading their things in Anzhen, they went back to Dahuaishu Village.
I hurried to Mingzhou Mansion, after all, after going out after the New Year, it was already June now, and I hadn't seen my mother for half a year.
】
However, the carriage was only halfway through when someone stopped them.
"What's going on?"
Ning Laosan's momentum now is completely different from him back then.
He wasn't worried about someone robbing money, after all, in addition to Qingniang, it was easy for the two brothers to deal with some small thieves.
Not to mention, his current guard is a master of Qingfeng Guard.
"The third master is the person next to the eldest prince."
Hearing this, Ning Laosan, who was originally sitting in the carriage, pushed open the door of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
Ning Laosi also followed closely, and the eldest prince mentioned in the guard's mouth naturally referred to Ning Yongye.
After all, he is the oldest of the younger generation.
Of course, the most important thing is that his identity is different.
The people who protect him are also the elite of Aomine's guard.
It stands to reason that he will not leave his side easily.
Now that I met here, something must have happened.
