The two of them chatted about some more gossip until after afternoon, Xu Zheng and Xu Chang came back.

Xu Zheng was so happy that he kept saying, "My son is indeed a natural wine expert. If you add lime water to the wine, it will be really no longer sour. And your method of steaming wine, pass it down together."

Xu Ping was not in the mood to tell him this. His mind was all about renovating the fields in the village. He said to Xu Zheng: "There are many people in the restaurant and are seen. I don't know what to say when I go out and say something. If I can't explain the lawsuit clearly, it's better to take it back to the village and deal with it."

Of course, Zhang Sanniang helped her son: "My son makes sense. There are a few servants in the restaurant who are newly hired, which is not as stable as those brought in Tokyo. Old man, you are decades old, so you might as well think about things carefully and pay more attention to your business in the future."

Xu Zheng didn't care. After dealing with the problem of sour wine, he was full of joy.

After sitting down and having a cup of tea, Zhang Sanniang handed the picture Xu Ping to her husband. Xu Ping explained the plan again and finally said: "Although the fields in the village are vast, they are everywhere. If they are used to grow wheat and millet, they will definitely not be able to make ends meet, and even the seeds cannot be collected. According to the child, if they want to treat salt and brine, they can only open fields and grow rice in places that are convenient for water. The water is in and rows, and the salt and brine are washed away. It is still a good place to plant sorghum and alfalfa in the village. Raising more cattle and sheep is also a way to make money."

Xu Zheng held the picture in his hand, looked at it again and again, and slowly said: "How did you come up with these principles? Does it work?"

Xu Ping said: "When you read some miscellaneous books, you will run around the ground more often, and you will naturally understand. These are the principles of the creation of heaven and earth, and there is no profound point. As long as you think carefully, there will always be a way."

Xu Zheng didn't speak, pondered for a long time before speaking, "In accordance with you, how much money do you have to spend to get things done?"

Xu Ping was stunned. This father was indeed a businessman. He was asking about the start-up capital. He asked the key points as soon as he opened his mouth, but he never thought about this fatal question.

Seeing that his son didn't say anything, Xu Zheng said: "I will give you a hundred stale money. Just follow your ideas and don't ask for much interest. As long as you don't discount the capital, this is our agent's top priority."

Xu Ping nodded foolishly.

Xu Zheng said to Xu Chang again: "Everyone cares, you are an old man and have an idea in your heart. You have to pay close attention to this money. Dalang is still young, so look at him and don't let the hushi go all over the sky."

Xu Chang hurriedly crossed his hands and promised: "It's from Xu Chang."

Xu Zheng said again: "Grandma Hong has returned home. When she returns to the village, she must pass through the store. We will tell her to hand over the keys of various warehouses to you. You should be careful when you go back."

Xu Ping didn't expect things to go so well, so he hurriedly agreed.

Xu Zheng and his wife gave a few more instructions and asked Xu Ping and Xu Chang to return to the village. Originally, Zhang Sanniang wanted to keep her son staying for a night, but Xu Zheng was worried about the sad drinking and kept urging him.

When he was about to leave, Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered and called her son: "Dalang, don't focus on these things when you go back, just ask the servants to do it. You can study hard, try to win a Jinshi in front of the emperor, and earn me an imperial decree."

Xu Ping nodded with a wry smile. This was not that easy.

After riding the donkey, Zhang Sanniang called out again and said to Xu Ping: "My son, come to see your parents three or five days later, don't let us worry about it."

Xu Ping hurriedly agreed.

Liu Xiaoyi was driving an ox cart next to him, loading up with rancid wine, and accompanied Xu Ping and the others back to the village.

Until he could no longer see his son, Zhang Sanniang turned around and asked her husband: "Old man, do you understand what Dalang said? Why am I confused when I hear it?"

Xu Zheng said: "How can I sort out the things in the fields clearly!"

Zhang Sanniang said strangely: "Then you give Dalang a hundred stale money! Usually, asking you to take a penny to get it is like cutting off your flesh. There is no reason to be so generous!"

Xu Zheng sighed: "How can our agent never lose money in his life? This is my biological son, and it is not worth a hundred stale money to give him the capital?"

Zhang Sanniang thought about it and nodded.

Xu Zheng said again: "Besides, in previous years, Dalang was given a lot of money in Tokyo, and he used hundreds of stagnants a year. This hundred stagnant is enough for him to handle it for several years, how much will we save!"

Zhang Sanniang was stunned and then looked at her husband carefully. It turned out that the old man was still smart. The son spent a long time talking, but it was useless, but his father was plotting it into it. Although Zhang Sanniang was strong, she ignored anything in the Xu family when it was involved in external business. It was not unreasonable.

The road was the same as I came in the morning. There were still reeds on both sides, and salt was exposed from time to time, but Xu Ping felt much more pleasing to the eyes. Occasionally, a wild duck flew up from a distance, which led his thoughts to the sky.

The future work is to treat saline and alkali. He has seen this in his previous life. Although he did not do it himself, he still understands the basic principles. In his previous life, he will not talk about the methods that are high in technology. There are three main methods that can be used in this era: one is silt, but it is not adjacent to the Yellow River and Bian River. It cannot be done without official unified organization. Another is to plant salt and alkali-resistant crops, such as the sorghum alfalfa he mentioned, and the common ones include tamale, ash, stinky toon, purple sophora, and even mulberry trees. The most effective method is to use water conservancy irrigation and drainage combination. Irrigation is to wash alkali with clean water, and drainage is to lower the groundwater level. This combination is a fundamental solution.

Xu Ping carefully planned it in his mind and followed Xu Chang and Liu Xiaoyi to the farm slowly.

In fact, Xu Ping did not think about what the meaning of doing these things was, nor did he think about it. This was just the inertia of his work in his previous life. His responsibility was to change the world. Although his previous life was just a small place that he could manage and had many constraints, doing things gave him a sense of fulfillment. In this world, the world was wider and there were more things to do. No one could say anything, and he actually had the joy of happiness suddenly coming.

When we arrived at the farm, the sun had set in the west and the heat had faded, making people feel much more comfortable.

Several shopkeepers were sitting in front of the door. When they saw Xu Ping coming back, they came up to help bring wine.

Sun Qilang ran back to his residence. After a while, a pheasant in his left hand and a wild duck in his right hand came out to Xu Ping: "Yesterday, thanking the official's kindness, I gave the official a pair of wild game today to express my feelings."

Xu Ping smiled and thanked Sun Qilang. It was beneficial to say that the land was wide and sparsely populated. He had no worries about not having wild game all year round. He had never eaten serious wild game in his previous life. Sometimes when he went to the countryside, there was a hare in the area of ​​the village. Everyone in the village knew that a group of people surrounded him and went down the net every day, which was not like now.

Everyone moved the wine into the yard, Liu Xiaoyi drove the ox cart back to the town, and Xu Ping arranged for someone to steam the wine.

Pour the sour wine into the pot instead of water. The remaining lees left yesterday were still put into the steamer, and the steamed ones were high-grade liquor. However, the lees were used many times without any fragrance. The essence of the production was low-priced and inferior liquor from the previous life. Xu Ping had told my father not to sell them alone, but to mix them into light wine to enhance the flavor.

Xu Ping didn't want the yard to be too messy, so he asked another big pot to steam it in the yard. Seeing that it was dark, he took the pheasant and wild duck back to his residence and had a small meal with Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu was busy working in front of the stove, Xu Ping moved a stool and sat on the side with an idea. After looking at it for a while, his brows couldn't help but frown.

Xiuxiu is too young, and she is not much taller than a pot while standing there. She has to step on a stool when brushing the pot.

I couldn't help but ask Xiuxiu: "There are coal selling nearby here - oh no, is it a stone carbon?"

Xiuxiu hugged Chai and replied, "Shi Carbon, there aren't around us. I heard that people in Tokyo use a lot, maybe there are one in Zhongmu County."

Xu Ping nodded and said nothing.

If there is coal, it is broken and made into coal balls, and then made into coal ball stoves for Xiuxiu to cook, you won’t have to work so hard to deal with this big pot. If you want to start a small stove, you have to get the guys ready and let Xu Chang buy them tomorrow.

Xiuxiu put the packed pheasant into the pot and cooked it. She held the wild duck and asked Xu Ping: "Officialist, how to make this duck? Should I put it in and cook it together?"

Xu Ping thought for a while and said, "That won't work. What will it taste like when cooked? The duck is still roasted and delicious, right? But it's hard to say, you can put it up first, and then cook it into a pot of old duck soup after we finish eating."

The roast duck tastes good, but I used a specially raised fat duck in my previous life. The wild duck probably doesn’t have a few taels of fat on it, but it’s hard to say what it will be roasted. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to make duck, otherwise it would be nice to get a salted duck.

When the chicken soup was ready and it was already dark, Xiuxiu lit the lights and moved the soup and rice into the hall.

Seeing Xiuxiu standing aside, Xu Ping said to her: "Just sit down."

Xiuxiu lowered her head and whispered: "That won't work. Others will scold me when they see it."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's enough that I'll say yes. Who dares to come and care about my other people's business?"

Xiuxiu insisted on for a while, but couldn't resist Xu Ping. She sat down at the table and didn't dare to make sure, but just sat down.

After dinner, Xiuxiu cleaned up and went to the kitchen to cook duck soup. Xu Ping sat in the hall to digest food.

After sorting out everything, Xiuxiu returned to the hall and said to Xu Ping: "Official, it's getting late, so you can rest. Don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"

Xu Ping was not used to going to bed so early, and said to Xiuxiu: "It's still early, so don't worry."

Xiuxiu stood aside and didn't speak.

Xu Ping sat down for a while and felt bored, and said to Xiuxiu: "Let's find something to do. By the way, didn't I say during the day to teach you how to write? Go and prepare your pen and ink."

Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, but she liked it in her heart and happily went to the study.

When he arrived in the study, he saw Xiuxiu standing by the table and looking at him with a gaze, Xu Ping also felt that he had grown taller. When he arrived at the table, he grabbed the brush, but he was awkward to take it. He didn't care about it anymore, and he felt that it was good to do it. He dipped it in ink and rewritten the word "天" on the paper.

Xu Ping wrote pretty well in his previous life, especially as the old webmaster draws pictures, he was not used to using computers, so he taught Xu Ping to practice long and imitation Song characters with horizontal and vertical lines. However, he was not used to using brushes. The strokes were thick and thin, and the place where the pen stopped seemed to shake two pools of ink there.

Xiuxiu read the word, covered her mouth and laughed, and didn't say anything.

Xu Ping said with a look: "This is the word "up" and the word "up" is the upper and lower."

Xiuxiu followed and said, "It's the word "shang". It turns out that the word "shang" looks like this."

After teaching Xiuxiu, Xu Ping felt a little dazzled and asked Xiuxiu: "What kind of lamp is this? What oil is burning inside? It's dark and can't see clearly!"

Xiuxiu said: "Why do officials say this? This is a good fat, it is already very bright. Where can ordinary people afford it?"

Fat oil is sesame oil, and it is indeed a top-notch product.

Xu Ping put down the pen and said to Xiuxiu: "My eyes hurt a little. You can practice these words yourself. I'll take a break."
