Chapter 303: Endless streams
Shen Yunxi nodded and said, "It should be fine." If you don't believe me, let's start digging now. In any case, we can't dig up so much ground in three or two days. Also, our rice is ripe and should be harvested. Until then, we're going to dig sweet potatoes at the door, turn them into a threshing floor, and dry the rice. ”
Lu Xianling listened to it, and also felt that Shen Yunxi was right. "Well, let's not dig in the ground and dig out these sweet potatoes in front of our house. After all, there should be a threshing floor. ”
Almost every household in Qianlihua Village grows sweet potatoes at their doorstep. Now it is said that people do not need to dig in the ground, but first dig at the door. They started digging early in the morning.
Of course, there are also yamen officials sent by Lu County.
After simple drying, it is continuously transported to the county seat for storage. These sweet potatoes grow well because they are grown at home, weeded and drained frequently, and use a lot of fertilizer.
Especially the sweet potatoes of Shen Yunxi's family, the yield this time is better, reaching more than 7,000 catties. Some sweet potatoes have a good yield, five or six thousand catties, and some have a poor sweet potato yield, four or five thousand catties.
Since it is for the ministers of the capital, of course, it depends on the level of production. The county ordered Lord Lu to immediately stop Shen Yunxi's family from digging up the remaining one acre and eight points of land, leaving it for the ministers of the capital to dig.
Other people's sweet potatoes are digging in full swing, and there is an endless stream of trucks transporting sweet potatoes.
Seven Widows' tea stall business is much better. Tea is drunk not only by the county officials, but also by the coachmen, as well as by the surrounding villages. It is better to earn one or two hundred dollars a day than to work for others.
It has to be said that cats have their way, dogs have their way, and smart people have many ways to make money. If the seven widows all put their minds on making money and running the family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can live happily ever after.
Shen Yunxi was worried that the rice in the field would be ripe and could not be harvested in time, which would affect the yield, so he dug more than an acre of sweet potato field and leveled the remaining vacant land in the yard, and then compacted it with a stone to make a threshing floor.
Lord Lu was idle, and under the leadership of Shen Yunxi and the head of Tian Village, he went to the rice field to take a look.
Lord Lu was stunned when he saw it.
He was born into a large family. Before he became an official, although he was not diligent and did not divide grains, he was not proficient in farming. I heard that Qin sent Zhang Zhao to Shanyang County, so he actively did all kinds of things.
He not only manages the business of the county and manages the security of various places, but also walks around the fields and listens to the old farmers talk about the land.
He had seen local ears of rice, not that big. But the ears of rice in the former Lihua village are not only large, but also full of grains. It's heavy to pick one and put it in your hand.
Lord Lu waved his hand and said to the guards beside him, "You go to the rice fields in other villages and help me pick ten ears of rice."
Although the guards were confused, the adults ordered. He immediately rode to a neighboring village.
Tamura is proud. He knew that Lu Xianling wanted to compare the ears of rice in their rice field with those in other villages. The result was undoubtedly that the ears of rice in their village were larger.
Because he and Tian Ergou often went to other villages to compare with each other after heading from the rice.
Once, he secretly grabbed ears of rice and was taken as a thief. He was chased for miles.
Tian Da Niu unconsciously took Lord Lu to his rice field. He is generous, eloquent, and neither humble nor arrogant in front of the county order.
"Lord Lu, there are still fish in my rice field. The fish I ate at the village chief's house this afternoon was the rice fish I raised in the rice field. Those who grew up eating insects, rice flowers, and algae in the rice paddies are very tasty, whether boiled in soup or braised in a boiled soup. ”
