228. Doing great things!
A cold snap took away most of the crops, and Lin'an Mansion immediately complained.
Although the people in the city did not have any land, it seemed that there was no loss on the surface, but after the profound lessons of the snow disaster, they all reacted immediately to stock up on grain, and the shops on both sides of the main street ushered in a shopping frenzy.
As a result, the price of grain, which had finally been lowered due to the disaster relief, rose again.
Jiang Lao and Fu Cheng were so busy flying in order to stabilize the situation, and Shenjia Village, twenty miles away from Fucheng, was also busy flying.
Rows of potato seedlings in wooden troughs were brought out of the small courtyard of the farmhouse and headed towards the east of the village, and more than a dozen people lined up on the road, looking like they were doing something big from a distance.
"Of course it's doing big things!"
"If we can grow new food as Xingluo said, we won't have to go hungry in a few months."
"Who's to say it isn't? Thanks to the treasure mountain of Shennong Mountain! ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, Uncle Man Hoard is still waiting in the field, be careful, don't hurt such a good seedling."
The people in charge of carrying potato seedlings from Shen's house are ordinary villagers, and in a field in the east of the village, dozens of men wielding hoes to prepare the field, they are members of the patrol.
A shed was built on the ground where he could rest temporarily, and the sixth uncle sat under the shed with a happy expression.
"This potato tastes good, you can taste it."
A dozen egg-sized potatoes were boiled and cut into pieces and placed on the plate, and at this time there was still a bit of heat wafting away, attracting the attention of the villagers.
Everyone had long been curious about the so-called new grain, and when they saw this, they put down the wooden trough they were holding and took a piece from the plate tentatively and put it in their mouths, and the next moment they were immediately captured by the soft and glutinous taste of the potatoes.
"Huh? This thing is really filling! ”
"I eat it in my mouth, the taste is really good, I am afraid that these two pieces can be eaten in one meal."
"I heard Xingluo say that these potatoes are still small, and if the ground is good, they should be able to grow bigger!"
"Did Xingluo say how many such a seedling can grow?"
Everyone looked at the sixth uncle who was sitting firmly on the ground, and the latter casually spit out a sentence that was enough to shock the world:
"At best, there are seven or eight of them, and the ones that are almost close can have two or three."
“!”
Hiss –
The villagers gasped in unison, and mechanically moved their eyes to the neatly arranged wooden trough on the ground, where a small green seedling was waving in the wind.
"It's good that I didn't make a lot of effort when I put it down just now......"
In case he accidentally stoned to death or pinched to death and trampled on a tree, he could die of distress without the sixth uncle scolding people.
What kind of little seedling is this, and it is everyone's life to get rid of it!
"Then what, Xingluo said that this lump was dug up from the depths of Shennong Mountain?"
"That's what I said!"
"Anyway, we all entered the mountain together, and the baby was right under his nose, why did he find it alone?"
"Scholars are better at digging than we can do in the fields."
The sixth uncle was stunned when he heard this, and almost choked on the potatoes in his mouth, can you find out what the potatoes have to do with reading? You didn't find any food in the field, and now you expect a scholar to be reasonable?
"Since you know that you are incompetent, why don't you go to the mountains to look for it now, what are you doing here? Nothing is empty of brute force! ”
The old man hates iron and does not become steel, they are all descendants of my Shen family, why is there such a big difference?
Everyone was sprayed and took a few steps back.
You didn't say that during the snow disaster, you praised them for their strength and ability to cut down mountain bandits......
However, the sixth uncle was right, since there was such a good treasure in the deep mountains, it would be sorry for God's hard work if he didn't dig it, so more than a dozen people picked up their weapons and headed towards the mountain.
"Let's go, let's look for potatoes too!"
"How many can be dug up, let's plant them when we come back."
The sixth uncle was very dissatisfied with the backs of a group of descendants, "Look at what they were fussing about just now, it's really a shame for my Shen family!" ”
Shen Manho, who was also squatting on the ground and had not spoken, twitched the corners of his mouth, have you always forgotten the incident of falling off the kang when you first heard the news?
A group of people here went up the mountain, and Shen Xingluo in the field was teaching everyone how to plant.
Growing potatoes does not have much technical content, and the villagers of Shenjia Village are also good at farming.
Due to the large number of people in the field, it took only one day to plant all the potato seedlings on ten acres of land, and when the sun went down that day, there were no green seedlings left in the wooden trough.
Shen Xingluo explained a few words, got up and patted the dirt on his body and walked home.
The fiery red sunset hangs in the west, and the afterglow falls on the quiet farmhouse courtyard, like a layer of golden-red tulle.
Pushing open the creaking wooden door, the old and the young in the courtyard came into view, at this time Cheng Xi was smiling and narrating the 108 ways to eat Poria cocos, Xu Laoqi was not smiling or looking weird, Shen Xingqi was sitting not far away embroidering the screen, and there was a burst of aroma in the kitchen.
Shen Xingluo's steps paused slightly, and there was a trace of tenderness in his deep black eyes.
"Husband is back?"
Cheng Xi glanced at him and turned his head to look at the kitchen, "Wangshu, prepare the bowl quickly, it's time to eat." ”
"How is Madame learning today?"
"Remember, Master still praised me."
"Hmph."
Xu Lao was too lazy to take care of this scumbag, so he lifted Mazha under his ass and went to the living room to prepare for dinner.
Shen Xingluo stepped forward and took the notebook she used to record from Cheng Xi's hand, "Are you bullying Old Xu again?" ”
"Don't wronged people, I studied seriously, and everyone praised me as a good student from childhood to adulthood."
It was this master who taught his apprentices to be not only boring and boring, but also fond of procrastination, which made Cheng Xi, who had a maximum course of only one and a half hours, a little unbearable, so he simply said something else happy and happy.
She looked up to her side, "Is the work in the field done?" ”
"Well, it's all planted."
"Is it a good field selected by the sixth uncle from the clan?"
"Yes, the output in two months will also be reported in the name of the Shen family."
Cheng Xi sighed, the Shen family has Shen Xingluo, why not prosper, as long as he is given time, the Shen family will definitely become the top family of Dayan in a few years.
"How can I watch someone enter the mountain from afar?"
"Lian Hu took people there, and he planned to try his luck to see if he could dig up the potatoes."
......: "How can you dig without potatoes on this mountain?"
A group of heroes from Shenjia Village stayed in Shennong Mountain all afternoon but failed to dig potatoes.
However, the villagers are not what they used to be, and although they are disappointed, they quickly turn their attention to the game, so much so that they carry back two black wild boars when they descend the mountain in the evening.
When Cheng Xi learned about this, it was already noon the next day, and Aunt Cuihua disliked her and deliberately dragged her to the ancestral hall to watch the pig killing.
