Chapter 1036: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (31)

 “Well, the weather is good this year. Two acres of rice have yielded eight stones of rice.”

 “Eight stones???”

 “Eight stones!!”

 The boat passengers all around cried out in surprise.

“Eight stones per mu? Four stones per mu?”

“Dear boy! There is a place where Sishi’s yield has been destroyed! I always thought that Sanshi must have a good year.”

"Little brother, where are you from? I see you also boarded the boat in Qinghe County, are you from the village below Qinghe? Can you tell me how you grow rice? Why is the harvest so good!"

　　　…”

The journey was lively.

Everyone gathered around Xu Yin and his wife to exchange their farming experiences.

Although some of them are merchants or scholars traveling from north to south, there are farmers in their families who face the loess and back to the sky, so they naturally know what it means to produce four stones per mu.

 Food is the first priority for the people, and anything that can increase the yield per mu is a top priority for the people.

Cui Mengjin only said that someone in his village invented a new type of fertilizer that can increase crop yields. The method of composting is also very simple. Every household in his village has learned it. No, the output of the just-concluded autumn harvest has exceeded four kilograms. The diligent workers Those families are almost five stone rich.

 “Ouch!”

This time, not only the boat passengers, but also the boatmen could not help but **** up their ears.

Hearing this made me feel excited, and I wished I could go back to the countryside or the village right now to teach my family how to pile and apply new fertilizers.

 This is something Xu Yin didn't expect.

 She made bamboo tube rice simply because it was nutritious, delicious and easy to carry. Unexpectedly, she accidentally promoted a new type of fertilizer.

 When I went out, I hadn’t found the lotus seed yet, but I had first attracted a wave of potential energy point reward customers for myself.

 Kaisen!

With this topic attracting young and old, the relationship among the ship passengers has become harmonious. Whether they know each other or not, they can all get together and chat for a few words, and the journey goes very smoothly.

 Coupled with smooth winds and smooth water, the passenger ship docked at the state capital pier before sunset.

After landing ashore, Xu Yin and the two were looking for an inn to stay.

 “Little brother, please stay!”

　　Liu Yuanwai, who was sitting in the row behind Cui Mengjin on the boat, caught up with him out of breath and drunk:

"This is your first time coming to Chunzhou Prefecture? What kind of inn are you looking for? Go to my house! My house is not far ahead. You two are in Chunzhou Prefecture for the past few days, so you can stay at my house with peace of mind."

 “No, no, no!”

 “You’re welcome, let’s go!”

 “Dad! Dad!”

“Look, my son is driving a carriage to pick me up! Get in the carriage and get in! Let’s talk about anything when we get to my house.”

　　Liu Yuanwai was so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but invite Xu Yin and the others to his home.

Although he spent money to buy a member of the Yuanwai Lang Dangdang, he was still a wealthy local man who made his fortune by growing grain. When he heard that the yield per mu had increased by more than one stone, he felt itchy and could not wait to rush back to the village on the same day to urge the long-term workers to retting him. New fertilizer.

"Little brother, you can teach me later how to pile that new type of fertilizer. On the boat, people are talking too much, and my ears are not very good, so I can't hear very clearly."

Hearing what was going on, Xu Yin and Comrade Xiaojin exchanged glances, got on the carriage, and followed Yuan Liu to his house. Xu Yin was happy when he left—

 There is a pond of lotus planted in the back garden of Liu Yuan’s wife’s house.

It is said that his seventh wife was born in the south of the Yangtze River. She especially liked to appreciate lotus and asked Liu Yuan to plant it.

Although in this season, the lotus has long withered, leaving only a pool of residual lotus.

 But there are lotuses, are you still afraid of not having lotus roots?

"Mr. Liu, I wonder if your Zhuangzi is far from here? If it's not far, we can go and teach on the spot. We are stupid and easy to explain unclearly. But if we start doing it again, we will never make mistakes."

"Huh? How can this be so embarrassing?" Liu Yuanwai was both happy and embarrassed. He quickly asked his wife to help clean up the guest room, "Clean up the largest guest room! I want to entertain Brother Cui and his wife well."

So, Xu Yin and his wife lived in Liu Yuan's house. During the day, they went to Liuzhuang outside the city to teach the workers there about retting, and they came back to stay at night. Sometimes they would live directly in the village when it got late, doing their best to teach and provide support. Didi regards himself as an output technician.

Yuan Liu was very grateful and repeatedly expressed his intention to prepare a generous gift to thank them.

Xu Yin took advantage of the situation and suggested: "Master Liu, there is no need for generous gifts. Can you give me some lotus roots?"

 “Lotus root? What is that?”

 Xu Yin: “…”

I have planted lotus in a pond, but I don’t know what lotus root is?

Liu Yuanwai really didn't know that although he doted on the Seventh Madam the most, he only went there more at night. He didn't spend much time at home during the day, and he didn't have the leisure and elegance to enjoy the lotus with the women.

He waved his hand and asked the maid to call the seventh lady Jiang, who liked lotus flowers.

Of course Jiang knew about lotus roots, but she asked her master to dig a lotus pond in the back garden and ask the gardener to plant the lotus seeds brought from Jiangnan to enjoy the lotus, not to pickle the lotus roots buried in the mud.

"Master!" Jiang said angrily, holding the embroidered handkerchief and shaking it at Liu Yuanwai, "What I appreciate is that the lotus comes out of the mud and is not stained. I don't like the lotus root when it is so dirty!"

Xu Yin looked at the lotus with her eyes, nose and heart: If there is no lotus root, why don’t you tell me where to go to appreciate the lotus?

Liu Yuan smiled coquettishly and said: "Jiang is spoiled by me, don't mind. Brother Cui, younger sisters, if you like this lotus root, I will send people to dig it up. You can dig it all away as much as you want."

Xu Yin twitched her lips: Poach them all? Then next spring and summer, your seventh wife has been unable to look forward to the lotus flowers, and I'm afraid she will have to settle a score with you.

He said hurriedly: "We don't need to dig too much. We just want to take a few sections back and try to plant them to see if the lotus roots from the south of the Yangtze River can be grown in our Qinghe County."

“Chunzhou Prefecture is not far from Qinghe County. We can farm here, and Qinghe County is about the same distance.”

 “Then I accept Mr. Liu’s good advice!”

 Exporting retting technology in exchange for fifty kilograms of lotus root seeds, this trip to Chunzhou Prefecture was not in vain!

Not only that, while Xu Yin was shopping in Chunzhou Prefecture, she saw an out-of-town businessman selling a batch of seeds brought from a border town.

“Take a look! Don’t miss it if you pass by! The seeds I sell are guaranteed to survive. If they don’t survive, there’s no charge!”

Xu Yin squatted down and glanced at a few dark seeds in the corner. Wasn't it the watermelon seeds she had been paying attention to?

Hey! It really takes no effort at all!

"Sir, you have such a good eye! I brought this new variety of seeds from the border of the Western Region with great effort. I almost fell into the hands of bandits on the way. When I was escaping, I dropped a seed bag, and that's all I have left. You can take all twenty coins with you."

 Seven or eight watermelon seeds cost 20 cents? This price is not ordinary expensive!

The stall owner saw that she was silent, and the tall and burly young man beside him was still frowning. Apparently he thought the price was too high and was worried about the fat sheep that finally came to the door... Oh no, the business was ruined, so he neatly mixed it from the pile of seeds on the side. A few seeds that are not common in the local area came out: "I think you sincerely want to buy it, sir, and I will give you a few more seeds to add to the seeds."
