Chapter 66: Sixty-six Days of Being an Old Lady
The next day, Jiang's mother and daughter went to the city, and Wang Zhutou also came to the village.
He was accompanied by not only the people in the yamen, but also Shanshi and a middle-aged man in a robe.
The man's seemingly simple dress always exudes a distinctive charm, and the old lady unconsciously glanced at it several times.
Shanshi said that this is Zhao Gongzi from Lin'an Mansion. Zhao Gongzi heard about the rice transplanter and came here. If the rice planting season is really as powerful as the old lady said, Zhao Gongzi is ready to promote the rice transplanting machine in Lin'an Mansion.
The old lady's eyes lit up, where is Zhao Gongzi from Lin'an Mansion, this is the God of Wealth sent by God!
The "God of Wealth" came, and the old lady was full of energy. The Hu family's land has been cultivated, and in order to test the performance of the rice transplanter, they have to find a piece of land to test.
When the village chief heard about Wang Zhutou's intention, he took the initiative to contribute his own land. There is still some time before the rice planting, and if the rice is planted too early, I am afraid that the crops will not grow well.
The village chief is righteous, and the old lady is not ambiguous, and takes the initiative to take out the seedlings cultivated by her own "old grain" and plant them for the village chief's family.
Don't look at the seedlings of the Hu family as "old grain", they grow fatter than the seedlings of the village chief's family. If you don't know in advance that this is "old grain", no one will be able to see it.
Zhao Yuan's hand brushed over the seedlings, and his eyes were obscure. He gave Shanshi a look, and Shanshi immediately asked the old lady if she could sell him some of the seedlings. He also farms at home, and seeing that the seedlings cultivated by the old lady are really good, he also wants to plant them in his own field.
Selling seedlings?
The old lady seems to have discovered a new world, and the system says that her wealth is in the ground, and this is not a way to make money?
However, it is not for sale at the moment.
The planting of "double cropping rice" has just begun, and the old lady does not know how much role it can play, so she will first experiment with the Hu family. If it is true that double cropping rice can be grown as the system says, it is not too late to sell it.
Shanshi expressed regret, but when the old lady took out the rice transplanter and planted the seedlings with a big move, his eyes were about to pop out, and there were no regrets.
Rice transplanterRice transplanter, I always hear this name, but in the end, I have not seen the power of the rice transplanter, and I can't form a shock just by brain supplement.
The old lady held a rice transplanting machine, and with her superb skills, she planted a piece of rice with half a cup of tea, which made people feel surging with blood.
Wang Zhutou's eyes lit up even more when he looked at the rice transplanter, and at the same time, he also knew why Master Zhang would take the risk of stealing the old lady's invention. This invention is so good! Although a machine has not yet been sold, Wang Zhutou can already imagine his prosperity.
"Zhao Gongzi wants to experience it?"
The old lady always remembered Zhao Gongzi's identity as the "God of Wealth", and kindly invited Zhao Yuan to plant rice together. Only when you have personally experienced the benefits of the rice transplanter can you sell it more sincerely.
Shanshi was just about to step forward, but was stopped by Zhao Yuan with his eyes. The old lady invited him, just planting seedlings, and he didn't have to worry.
Don't look at Zhao Yuan's demeanor, he rolled up his trousers and went into the field, and under the explanation of the old lady, he took over the rice transplanter.
"Be careful, the rice transplanter is heavy and there will be discomfort for the first use." The old lady was worried that Zhao Yuan's strength was small, so she didn't dare to let it go. Waiting for Zhao Yuan to take over the machine, she told again.
The weight of the rice transplanter was about the same as Zhao Yuan imagined, and he motioned to the old lady to let go, he could bear it.
When the old lady really let go, she saw that Zhao Yuan was not shocked, and she also showed appreciation. You must know that several sons of the Hu family made a mess when they first took over the rice transplanter, Zhao Yuan does not look stronger than Hu Laosan, and he is also white and tender, but he can withstand the weight of the rice transplanter, which is really unseemly.
"Just press here and the rice transplanter will move forward. Here is retreat, here is to take seedlings, here is to plant seedlings ......" The old lady explained patiently, originally planning to let Zhao Yuan have an experience, who knew that Zhao Yuan's learning ability was super strong, the old lady just explained it once, and he came to catch it.
After inserting one row, he set up another row, and saw that the old lady gave a thumbs up.
"Zhao Gongzi is not only smart, but also powerful. Pull out the mountain and cover the world', Zhao Gongzi has the wind of the overlord of Western Chu. ”
With a jade face, a tall posture, and huge strength, it is a pity that such a person is only for businessmen.
Zhao Yuan smiled, looking a little helpless and conniving.
Dare to say that he is the overlord of Western Chu, and only the old lady of the Hu family does not know it.
"The old lady is very literate." Zhao Yuan praised sincerely.
Those who can say "pull out the mountains and cover the world" must be brilliant. No wonder Shanshi would be particularly concerned about an old lady, and Zhao Yuan himself was also curious about the old lady.
"Don't dare, don't dare, there are two talents in the family, and I'm just familiar with it." The old lady waved her hand and shook her head, she made an old mistake, and she would always unconsciously disobey Mrs. Hu's personality. But she is not afraid, Hu Laohan has passed away, and she can push these things on Hu Laohan. And the Hu family has a talented man, and he just solves the dilemma with a sentence that is familiar to him.
Zhao Yuan didn't say much, he seemed to be interested in rice planting, and accompanied by the old lady, the rice transplanting machine also became a toy.
The old lady and Zhao Yuan talked vigorously, and on the shore, Wang Zhutou was asking for instructions and good use without calling them up. He also wanted to try the rice transplanter himself.
Shanshi stopped Wang Zhutou and didn't let anyone disturb the master and the old lady chatting. Recently, because of some trivial matters, the master has been in a heavy mood, and he finally showed a smile in front of the old lady, which shows that the master is very relaxed now.
After this village, there is no such shop. Shanshi wishes that the old lady could make her master happy, where can she let others disturb her?
The result of not bothering was that Zhao Yuan had finished the five acres of land of the village chief's house.
Zhao Yuan: "......"
Old lady: "......" didn't expect that it was not only the God of Wealth, but also free labor.
"Brother Zhao, what do you think of this machine?"
After the old lady and Zhao Yuan got acquainted, she shouted "Zhao Gongzi" one by one to make Zhao Yuan unhappy, he was younger than the old lady, and it was okay to call "Brother Zhao".
Old lady: "......" You look younger than my son, are you sure you are taking advantage of me by calling "brother"?
The old lady is as kind as she flows, and she calls "Brother Zhao" kindly.
Zhao Yuan nodded and said yes, the power of the rice transplanter is indeed huge, the only regret is that the operation is inconvenient, and it is a little troublesome for the croppers.
The old lady slapped her thigh, and it was really like this.
Hu Laosan couldn't do it for a long time, and it was not as easy as Xiao Tian's use.
Although the rice transplanter has this shortcoming, it completely crushes the manual rice transplanting. The old lady tentatively asked, is Brother Zhao interested in promoting the rice transplanter in Lin'an Mansion?
Zhao Yuan did have this intention, he not only wanted to promote it in Lin'an Mansion, but also in the entire Great Song Dynasty. But instead of telling the old lady, she asked:
"What does the old lady think?" Zhao Yuan asked the old lady for advice, after all, she was the one who invented the rice transplanter, and she should always have some regulations.
The old lady was waiting for him to ask, and so on and so on:
"It's better to make two versions of the rice transplanter, one is the original one, and the other is a simpler manual rice transplanter. Not to mention ten acres a day, even five acres can solve the manpower problem. Of course, the selling price is also appropriately reduced. ”
The old lady had a business experience in her head, and she got rid of all her thoughts, also with the intention of doing business with Zhao Yuan.
There was a simpler drawing for the system, but the old lady discarded it because she didn't think it was very useful. But if it is used by a farmer who is not very flexible, it is completely sufficient.
Zhao Yuan nodded as he listened, and the two seemed to have a good conversation.
