The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm: Chapter 1045 The lazy and bad sister-in-law of a lucky girl from the farm 40
Chapter 1045 The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-Law of the Blessed Nongmen (40)
The county magistrate happily returned to the county office with the seeds and the idea of "a bucket of **** mountain".
Xu Yin simply divided up the few remaining seeds, and gave each member of the literacy class a handful.
"See? These seeds are even cherished by the county magistrate. Take them home and cultivate them carefully. Whoever plants them well will be rewarded with a lotus lotus head. You can pick one when the lotus roots are harvested in autumn."
"Oh—we have rewards too!"
This made Goudan, who didn't get the top three rewards, cheer happily, took the seeds carefully, and went home to cultivate them.
Their family learned that even the county magistrate attached great importance to these seeds. How could there be any reason not to support them?
Not only supported, but also rushing to wait for it, for fear that the little **** will hurt these seeds, and if they can't grow them later, it's a small matter to lose the reward, but it's a big problem to waste the seeds of the Western Regions.
There are only a handful left, and Xu Yin is planting them in a test field in his own vegetable garden.
Of course she knew what the seeds were, cauliflower, onion, tomato, sweet potato, strawberry, kale and more.
That’s right, she also mixed in the king of high-yield crops—sweet potato seeds.
Sweet potatoes can usually be planted directly with tubers, but the tubers are too big. When buying seeds in Chunzhou Prefecture, Comrade Xiaojin was by her side, so she couldn't do small tricks.
Fortunately, I have a bag of high-quality sweet potato seeds in my hand. I forgot which Small World stockpiled it, so I took it out and mixed a few seeds in it, hoping to feed more people.
During this period, collective lotus ponds were set up in Xiaowa Village.
It’s just that although it’s called Hetang, this year we don’t plant lotus root, we raise ducks first.
The hatched ducklings are placed in a unified duck shed next to the lotus pond. When they grow up, they rush to the rice fields to weed and peck insects. After the rice fields are filled with water, they are allowed to forage freely in the lotus pond.
With the collective lotus pond, the villagers are busy with the summer harvest, and they don’t have to go to the town to do part-time work. They will communicate with each other every day how much work points they have earned, and look forward to how much money they will get at the end of the year.
Once life is fulfilled, there will be less unhappiness caused by trivial matters, and the Xiaowa villages under Lizheng's jurisdiction are harmonious.
Xu Yin did not notice the changes in the village. The lotus in her lotus pond bloomed!
The pink and tender flower buds are rushing to bloom before and after the summer harvest. The large white petals with pink inside are opened in layers, revealing the bright yellow stamens.
So, after finishing the summer harvest, Xu Yin would visit the lotus pond every morning.
Comrade Xiaojin was sitting in the gazebo fishing, and she sat next to him with her chin propped up to admire the lotus.
Watching the lotus blooming from the beginning to the full bloom, watching the lotus heart bearing a lotus pod, watching the fish playing among the lotus leaves, I feel very wonderful.
The liveliness and beauty in front of her eyes made her feel that this is the leisurely vacation world!
In the small world of comprehension, besides being able to collect some spiritual spring, spiritual fog and spiritual lake water, what else is there?
system:…
That is for you to nourish your soul, not for you to replenish the stock.
"Thirsty?"
Cui Mengjin just caught a grass carp, threw it into a bucket beside it, added bait, threw the fishing rod back into the lake again, turned to look at Xu Yin, "Drink some water?"
He picked up the kettle on his left, and was about to pour her a glass when he heard Li Zheng's energetic and loud voice:
"Meng Jin—"
"Meng Jin's daughter-in-law—"
Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "Do you feel that Li Zheng is getting younger and younger recently? Is this what is often said, 'people are happy when they have happy events'?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Zheng's hearty laughter came: "Meng Jin's daughter-in-law, how did you guess that there is a happy event?"
"..."
What a happy event!
Chen county magistrate allocated 500 taels of silver to their Xiaowa villages, saying that they supported them in building collective lotus ponds and building related workshops.
On the surface, the collective lotus ponds in Xiaowa villages inspired the fourth prince, and the memorials handed in about collective projects in various villages tailored to local conditions were appreciated by His Majesty. In fact, it was mainly due to the bucket of Jiangshan.
The fourth prince has been canonized as the crown prince!
He wanted to reward Cui Mengjin and his wife well, but he was worried that other princes would find out, just like when he found out the existence of the couple through Zhou Zhihai, it would not be worth the loss if he played tricks on him behind the scenes. In the name of supporting Xiaowa villages to build collective lotus ponds, a sum of money was donated.
Ranglizheng, the magistrate of Chen County, took out one hundred taels and awarded them to the villagers who supported the collective lotus pond project according to their contribution.
Xu Yin, the proposer, contributed the most. He got thirty taels, Lizheng took ten taels, and the remaining sixty taels were shared equally between the two villages who cleaned up the lotus pond silt, worked hard, and provided duck seedlings. up. There are about one or two per person.
Before the Chinese New Year, there will be money to get, and everyone's hearts are even hotter.
County magistrate Chen saw that Xu's allocation was only thirty taels, and felt that it was too little, but he couldn't go back and let Lizheng redistribute it, so he took another fifty taels out of his own pocket, and rewarded her in the name of the seeds of the Western Regions.
Xu Yin asked curiously: "The seeds brought back by the adults, have they all been planted?"
Otherwise, why reward her?
Magistrate Chen: "..."
Uh, he sent someone to send the bag of seeds to the prince together with the idea of "a barrel of **** mountain". In this letter, the prince didn't mention this matter. How could he know if it was planted or not.
He could only vaguely say: "It is being tested."
Xu Yin thought that he was busy with official duties and didn't pay attention to the progress, so he didn't care.
Those seeds were selected and cultivated after several generations of selection, and the survival rate was extremely high.
What she was worried about was that after planting, these people would not know what to eat and it would be wasted, so she asked the county magistrate to move to her backyard.
"My lord, this is planted by women with the leftover seeds, but the time is still short, and there are only these types that are mature at present...
This should be fruit, it tastes sweet and juicy, and it is often visited by birds before it is ripe. Adults can try it, because there are not many, and the remaining women plan to keep the seeds and continue planting next year.
This kind of flower-like vegetable, the woman does not know what it is called, but it looks like a flower, so she simply calls it cauliflower. The woman and the head of the family have already tasted it, and the taste is not bad. The adults take a few back to try it out.
This kind of red fruit, the woman thought it was a fruit, it is sweet and sour when eaten raw, but I didn’t expect that it can also be made into a dish, scrambled eggs and boiled soup are delicious..."
County magistrate Chen was amazed: "I didn't expect the dishes in the Western Regions to be so... er, strange. Some grow like flowers, and some grow like fruits..."
He decided to write a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as he went back, and don't throw it away as poisonous weeds and fruits just because they don't look like ordinary vegetables and fruits.
Xu Yin clicked to the end.
No way, sweet potatoes and onions are still too early to mature.
Especially onion, the growth process is the longest, and it will be next year when it can be eaten, so please invite the county magistrate to come to your house to try it. I just hope that they don't treat the green leaves of sweet potatoes and onions as vegetables. If they eat up the leaves before the fruit grows, and turn over the ground, then those seeds will be useless to her.
