Chapter 145 146 Learning to Farm

Chen Yaohui and those few people took a look outside and saw that most of the victims were yellow and skinny, wearing thin clothes in the cold weather, and they had to fight for a few pennies to carry bags. nice.

Li Yu felt that the people in the village were a bit weird these days. Every time he saw her and Zhou Jia, they were respectful, and even those who were working irritably changed.

The days of Fengming Village returned to calm again. In a blink of an eye, it was the season of spring sowing. The shopkeeper Chu sent a few village heads to study at the village of Li Yu's family.

After seeing Li Yu, those Zhuangtou all felt that the shopkeeper Chu brought them to meet one, the yellow-haired girl to learn farming, so shameless, most of them showed a look of disapproval.

Li Yu didn't care about the attitudes of those Zhuangtou at all. He was happy that he could try how many scorpions could be selected by salt water seed selection, because shopkeeper Chu also brought a carload of salt.

Li Yu took Erya and Ruyi, and the shopkeeper Chu took those Zhuangtou to Zhuangzi.

Li Yu smiled and said to the shopkeeper Chu: "I wanted to try the salt water selection method that the master said for a long time, but I gave up because the salt was too expensive."

Shopkeeper Chu smiled and said, "Miss Li, these salts have just arrived. Try it out. If the effect is really good, we will provide you with salt to choose seeds from Zhuangzi."

Li Yu waved his hand, "It's not necessary, it's not worth it to choose seeds with salt, I just want to try it."

Those Zhuangtou saw that Li Yu was still soaking the seeds in salt water, and stood by and muttered, "It's really been planted for most of my life, and I've come to learn how to farm with a yellow-haired girl."

An old man advised, "Pharaoh, don't mumble, let's take a good look when everyone comes."

"Okay, just listen to Brother He and see if she can grow a flower."

Ruyi and Erya beat the water and put it in a large vat. Li Yu weighed the salt and mixed it in proportion. He brought an egg and put it on it to test the buoyancy of the salt water. In the water, it didn't stop until the egg showed only the size of a copper coin.

Li Yu asked Ruyi to bring the rice seeds that had been exposed to the sun to cool down, put them in a basket and carried them over. He Zhuangtou grabbed a handful of rice seeds in his hand, showing a surprised look.

turned his head to Lao Wang and several other village heads and said, "Come and see, the rice seeds on their villages."

Old Wang and the other village heads gathered in front of the basket, grabbed a handful of rice seeds and looked at them, and said in a sour tone, "These rice seeds are so full! Do we still need to choose such seeds?"

Er Ya looked at the sour eyes of several people and thought to herself: Didn't you just mutter that my girl is just a yellow-haired girl? Envy and jealousy now!

Li Yu looked at Old He and said with a smile: "He Zhuangtou, these seeds must be selected again before they can be planted. I will do it again for you to see, and then you will do it again."

He Zhuangtou was a little convinced of Li Yu, and smiled: "Thank you Miss Li, I will remember it well."

Li Yu poured the rice seeds into the salt water tank, stirred the rice seeds vigorously, and took out the deflated seeds floating on the water. After a basket of rice seeds was soaked in salt water, more than a pound of deflated seeds were taken out.

Li Yu took the basket out of the tank and said to Ruyi, "Quickly pour the rice seeds into clean water to wash them, and then pour them into the prepared lime water to soak the seeds."

"Yes, girl." Ruyi and Erya carried the rice seeds to wash and soak them.

Pharaoh asked Li Yu puzzled, "Miss Li, your rice seeds are already full, why are there so many shriveled seeds? We didn't have so many shriveled seeds before soaking seeds?"

Li Yu glanced at Lao Wang, "The buoyancy of seed selection with ordinary water is not enough, the buoyancy of salt water is greater, and the deflated seeds and barnyard seeds cannot escape. Do you remember what I did just now?"

He Zhuangtou bowed his hands respectfully at Li Yu, "Miss Li, the old saying is good, live until you get old and learn, but I never thought that I would have to learn from scratch."

The shopkeeper Chu said to a few people: "Old He, you are all old Zhuangtou, this is a rare opportunity, follow Miss Li to study hard, and see how Miss Li farms."

Several people cupped their hands and said, "Remember, big shopkeeper." Shopkeeper Chu handed over a few village heads to Li Yu and went back to Tongzhou.

Li Yu asked a few people to use the salt water selection method to try it out in a wooden basin. When he was satisfied, he handed them over to Ruyi.

Erya came back after soaking the seeds, looked at the salt, and said distressedly: "Girl, the selection of seeds in salt water is more than the selection of seeds in water, and there are more turtle seeds fished out, but I think that replacing these salts with silver will also make a difference. I can buy a lot of food."

Li Yu smiled when Erya looked distressed with a bitter face, "Look at your distressed look, remember to ask them to screen a few more times in the future, and next time we will use clear water to select seeds."

Er Ya kept nodding, "I see, next time I will personally watch them and screen together."

A few Zhuangtou sent by the shopkeeper Chu lived in Fengming Village for a few days. Following Li Yu, he learned to use salt water to select seeds, soak them with lime water, and germinate them. Li Yu handed them over to Ruyi and Erya.

A few people followed Erya to learn how to compost and pollinate the rice planted with flowers. After the autumn harvest, the shopkeeper Chu came to pull the rice seeds, and they returned to Zhuangzi together.

The autumn harvest is over, and it is already late August. The Zhou family and the Li family are busy with the wedding ceremony.

In early September, Zhou Jia went to Tongzhou to retrieve the custom-made phoenix crown and jewelry, and went to the school to take Li Qing back to his house in Guihua Lane.

After arriving home, Li Qing bowed to Zhou Jia and said: "Sir, my sister has suffered a lot. After Mr. Ah Qingwang married my sister, cherish my sister and don't make her sad, otherwise, even if it is difficult, Ah Qing You must also take my sister home."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing and replied solemnly: "Aqing, don't worry, my brother-in-law will definitely love Xiaoyuzhen, will not make her sad and will not betray your trust."

Li Qing nodded and looked at Zhou Jia with some loss, "Sir, after you and my sister got married, when will you leave for Kyoto?"

Zhou Jia walked up to Li Qing and looked at him, patted him on the shoulder, "Aqing, we will be leaving at the beginning of winter, and there are still more than two months' journey from Tongzhou to Kyoto, so I found someone to buy a few Shen Jiajun and retired. The military horses used to pull the baggage should be faster."

Li Qing lowered his head, tears fell unknowingly, thinking sadly: I don't know when my sister and husband will meet after leaving.

Zhou Jia couldn't bear to see Li Qing lowered his head and said nothing, so he went up to hug him and comforted him: "Aqing, Mr. Lin said that you can quit next year, and if you can get the title of scholar next year, you can go to the rural exam. "My brother-in-law has silenced all the previous exam questions and put them in the bookcase in your room. You are the head of the Li family, so you can't cry and let your sister worry."

Li Qing wiped away his tears and looked up at Zhou Jia, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't worry my sister. You and my sister are waiting for me in Kyoto."

After the master and apprentice communicated well, they returned to the house to pack up the set and headed back to Fengming Village.

Thank you for your encouragement and support, thank you!
