Chapter 140: Growing Greens
Shen Xinyue: "You all did a good job, and I'll wrap you in a big red seal at the end of the year." ”
Before, she was afraid that Cheng Xiu's ability was not enough, but now it seems that doing business has made great progress.
Ye Guangyong had to manage two shops and Zhuangzi, and Shen Xinyue decided to transfer Cheng Xiu to manage it.
After reading the accounts of the two shops, Shen Xinyue and Ye Guangyong went to the two Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.
When I bought these two plots of land, the fields were already planted with wheat and millet.
When the two arrived at the village, Ye Daquan and his wife were taking the invited workers to harvest wheat.
"The girl is here?" Seeing Shen Xinyue coming, Ye Daquan grabbed the hem of the short hit and wiped it on his face casually, and greeted him.
"The wheat was harvested so early?"
"In a hurry to catch up with the weather these days, I will quickly take them back to dry, this time of year there is a lot of rain, in case of rain, it will waste a lot of food."
Shen Xinyue was just simply curious, she had never planted crops in her previous life, and she thought that they all said that the autumn harvest would not be harvested until the autumn.
"Uncle Ye, what are you going to plant after the wheat is harvested?"
After all, the new owner of the family, hearing her ask like this, Ye Daquan thought she had some arrangements, but from the conversation just now, he could tell that Shen Xinyue was not very familiar with farming.
But since the master asked, Ye Daquan still replied respectfully: "Girl, it's too late to plant anything at this time, and after the ploughing is finished, it can only be empty." ”
In the end, I was afraid that she would not believe it, and added: "Other families are like this, our climate here is cold fast, and there is no comparison with the south." ”
Shen Xinyue suddenly remembered that at this time, whether it was grain or vegetables, there were actually very few local varieties, and those common varieties in later generations had not yet been introduced.
"Uncle Ye, it's a pity that this land is empty, I have a way to get some fertilizer and vegetable seeds, and there are still two or three months before the autumn harvest, so it's too late."
Ye Daquan saw that she already had an idea, and nodded again and again: "Listen to the girl." ”
After deciding, Shen Xinyue set her eyes on the field not far away: "That one planted millet, right?" ”
Ye Daquan nodded: "I see that there are signs of insects in the millet recently, and after the wheat is collected in the granary, I will take people to start deworming." ”
In fact, it is said to be insect repellent, but there is no effective good way, it is nothing more than a little grass and trees gray water, and take everyone to catch insects in the field.
If left unchecked, food production will be even lower.
Shen Xinyue nodded.
Nowadays, ordinary people farm and rely almost entirely on God's food.
After making a note in her heart, she was about to leave with Ye Guangyong.
At this time, Ye Daquan's daughter-in-law came over and said that she wanted to keep the meal, but was excused by Shen Xinyue.
When she and Ye Guangyong returned to the city, Shen Xinyue asked him to go back to the shop first, and he left alone.
At the same time, Lin Qianqian was having a violent quarrel with Shi Yuanqing.
"It was obviously your idea before, and I even didn't hesitate to secretly take my mother's money, but as a result, Huimin Pharmacy is still running well, and business is even getting better and better. Now there are so many herbs piled up in the backyard of the pharmacy, and they can't be sold for a few years! ”
Listening to her constant complaints, Shi Yuanqing was extremely impatient, but he was afraid of her identity, so he just retorted in a low voice: "I came up with the idea, but wasn't it your decision in the end?" ”
With just this sentence, Lin Qianqian suddenly became angry: "Shi Yuanqing, are you still a man?" You don't comfort me when something happens, but you still say these kinds of things to anger me? My parents have always been against me being with you, and I wanted to give you a chance to perform because of this, but they all messed up! ”
As he spoke, he turned away in a negative mood.
Seeing that the person was gone, Shi Yuanqing was completely panicked at this time, and quickly got up and chased out.
Lin Qianqian is actually not stupid, it is just a pharmacy, and such a small amount of money is still worth it for her, the daughter of the prefect.
It's just that the family has always opposed her marriage to Shi Yuanqing, and Mother Lin has even been showing her relatives in the past two days.
Her arms can't twist her thighs, unless she is stupid and chooses to make a private agreement with Shi Yuanqing for life.
She's not that confused.
Therefore, if you want to be with Shi Yuanqing, there is only one way to do it at present.
That's to put him in trouble.
"Qianqian, I was wrong, this time I was careless, you can't explain it to your mother, it's all my fault."
Looking at Shi Yuanqing who chased out, the corners of Lin Qianqian's mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Yuanqing, I won't hide it from you, my parents have always objected to me being with you, and now my mother is already showing me the right family."
When Shi Yuanqing heard this, he immediately became anxious.
How could he let go of the relationship that he had so hard to climb.
"Qianqian, only I am sincere to you."
"I know, Yuanqing, if you really love me and want to be with me, then you can get into trouble." Without waiting for Shi Yuanqing to speak, Lin Qianqian immediately said: "We only have one daughter in the Lin family, if you can join the family, all the connections that my father has accumulated in the future will be yours, and he will also cultivate you wholeheartedly." ”
Shi Yuanqing, who still wanted to object, suddenly fell silent......
The next day, Shen Xinyue got up early in the morning, first asked the innkeeper to call her a carriage to pull goods, and then found a place where no one could see, and took out the pesticides, fertilizers and vegetable seeds that had been blended in advance.
This year's rain and weather have been okay, and if the pest infestation can be reduced, the crop yield can be much higher.
Soon the shopkeeper led the driver over, and when he saw so many things at her feet, he was very surprised.
Shen Xinyue didn't explain much, but gave him a few rewards and asked him to help carry the things into the car together.
About half an hour later, she arrived at Zhuangzi with her things.
Dozens of acres of wheat have basically been harvested, and they are piled up on the threshing floor to dry.
Ye Daquan saw Shen Xinyue coming, and hurriedly brought a few long-term workers over to help move things.
After Shen Xinyue explained to them the use and dosage of pesticides and fertilizers, she took out the vegetable seeds that had been prepared in advance.
She had flipped through some planting books before, and in such a short period of time, she could only grow vegetables with a short maturity period, such as spinach, coriander, lettuce and the like.
"Once the plough is fertilised, the seeds can be sprinkled and it won't take long for them to grow."
Although this stubble of vegetables can't make much more money, at least the workers' wages can be earned.
"Girl, after paying the grain tax, will the rest of the wheat be sold directly or collected in the granary?"
Looking at the golden wheat on the threshing floor, Shen Xinyue said: "Everyone is in a hurry to sell the new grain, and the price must be low, so let's put it in the granary." ”
As the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hand, she is not in a hurry to use the money now, if it is not difficult to explain, she can't wait to put all the food into the space.
