The General's Mansion has completely changed. Everyone is following Su Jian's lead. Very few people in the Mansion talk about the General anymore. The rules in the Mansion are strict and everyone concentrates on their work.
The general's mansion was in a state of internal chaos and prosperity. As for what was said outside, Su Jian didn't care. She only focused on farming and doing business.
The establishment of greenhouses and the planting of beans allowed the villagers to discuss with each other, and many people joined in. Especially after hearing that the crops in Su Jian Zhuangzi were having another bumper harvest, they cheered up, and some even asked for help.
Su Jian buys seeds here and they grow them themselves.
Su Jian happily agreed. When she makes doubanjiang, she always needs black beans. The more people grow them, the key is that she also grows them herself, so she doesn't need to worry about someone causing trouble behind her back.
To take a step back, if what happened to the grain store owner happened again, the person who would benefit would also be a real farmer. If not, she would be able to eat more beans.
Time passes quietly and unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, the autumn harvest has arrived.
On Zhuangzi, the rice in the field is ripe, yellow and yellow like a golden ocean. A gust of wind blows, and the rice is rippled, which is really beautiful. On the field ridge, under the yellow and green leaves are full of soybean pods with full seeds.
.
Looking further away, you can see the corn stalks in the ground. The leaves on the corn stalks are slightly light yellow, and tall cobs stand upright in the middle of the long leaves. Look closer and tear open the wrapping of the corn leaves, revealing the golden corn cobs.
came out.
Su Jian couldn't help but smile.
This is the perfect sign of a good harvest.
Su Jian was originally worried that the late planting of corn would affect the harvest, but fortunately, the later fertilization and top dressing had good results. The corn harvest was about to be harvested.
"Tell everyone to start harvesting food."
Xiong Da and Wang Yong stood behind Su Jian, feeling nervous. Now after listening to Su Jian's instructions, they shouted happily: "Everyone, roll up your sleeves and collect the food!"
"It's time to collect food!"
"Okay!"
Following the instructions of Xiong Da and Wang Yong, everyone was quickly divided into three groups, one group was responsible for harvesting corn, one group was responsible for harvesting beans, and another group was responsible for harvesting rice.
The methods of harvesting beans and corn were very simple, and they could all master it after Su Jian verbalized it. Only the harvesting of rice, Su Jian personally supervised the whole process. Not only because the rice had to be cut and then put into the threshing machine to get the millet, but also
Because the harvest of rice has
Skills, if there are dormant buds on the rice piles where the rice was cut, under the appropriate water temperature, light and nutrients, the rice can grow again for a second harvest. Moreover, the nutritional value of regenerated rice is still very high, and even has
Have certain medicinal value.
The villagers and Tieniu stood in the distance, watching the busy harvest scene. Their eyes showed full of envy and longing, and even imagined that they themselves were leading the villagers to harvest.
If next year... they also learn Su Jian's method, buy seeds, and work hard to cultivate. In autumn, will they be able to harvest food in the fields sweating like rain?
"Uncle Lizheng, your rice is ready to be harvested, why don't you go back and help?" Tieniu thinks it's okay for him to be envious, and the village can be more restrained. After all, his rice and beans are also in good harvest condition.
.No! To be more precise, those who planted beans at home almost all had a good harvest.
"I used to think that we could only grow wheat in our fields, and occasionally some vegetables. We paid taxes all year round and had enough food and clothing, and that was it. I didn't expect that our fields could grow so much without interruption.
And you see, although the wheat in my rice field can also be harvested well, there is still a gap compared to the rice in my wife’s rice field.
If our fields can be like this, even if the tax is paid, we will have a lot more food in our hands. Then not only can we eat enough for every meal, but we can also have food stored and spare money. In those days...
…that’s what’s really called days.”
Tieniu agreed, becoming more and more envious and hopeful in his heart: "But there is one thing I don't understand. If you are talking about planting rice, in the later stage you will also follow the madam's method of planting seeds and fertilizing. How come the rice in the field grows so fast?"
Is it not as good as Madam’s?”
"You forgot one thing. Wheat stalk ashes!" The villagers were looking at Tieniu: "When our winter wheat is harvested again, we must learn what Madam did before and directly burn the ashes to fertilize the land."
"Madam said that there is nothing in the crop field that is not needed. Now Madam wants them to keep the straw, or burn it to ashes, and scatter it on the ground. Do you think we can be shameless and ask for some?
" Tieniu spoke tentatively, but did not have the courage to go directly to Su Jian to ask.
"This is not possible. Madam has given instructions earlier that the rice straw must be piled up and dried. It would be a waste to burn them to use as fertilizer for the land."
It's Xiong San's voice.
When the villagers saw Xiong San coming, they quickly came forward enthusiastically: "Brother Xiong San, what is the use of this straw? As you know, the little old man has also planted rice in several paddy fields."
Xiong San looked at Cunli Zheng, who seemed to have not been so polite to him for a long time. He straightened his back unconsciously, thinking of Su Jian's method of doing things, and did not hide it: "Madam said, after drying the straw, you can
Make a bed instead of cotton wool to keep it warm in winter. But it must be dried in the sun to prevent bugs from growing in it."
"What, can it replace cotton wool?" The village was shocked. Cotton is so expensive, they have never been able to afford it, and they have always made do with it in winter. Now straw can be used as cotton wool to keep warm. If it is true...then this winter will definitely not be the best.
I will be exposed to the cold again.
Then in winter... no one in the village should be frozen to death.
The villagers just felt like they were breathing cautiously. Although they were named as masters in the farming class, Su Jian was more like a master. There were many things they didn't know, and they were all taught by Su Jian.
Tieniu believed Su Jian's words and became even more excited: "This straw actually has such benefits? Hehe... Brother Xiong, is it possible for me to give you some straw to make a bed?"
Xiong San glanced at Tieniu, and his words were full of pride: "Every plant and tree on Zhuangzi belongs to Madam. Without Madam's permission, we don't dare to make decisions without authorization. And you have underestimated the straw. I heard Madam say straw."
Not only can it make a bed, it can also be used to make edible plant ash, and the plant ash is also a medicinal material, but I don’t know how to make it."
Cunli Zheng and Tieniu's eyes lit up, so Daogu is full of treasures. They looked at Xiong San almost at the same time. Seeing Xiong San leave, they simultaneously cast their eyes on Su Jian, with little lights and shadows in their eyes.
Follow Su Jian! You must follow Su Jian!
Zheng and Tieniu in the village firmly believe that as long as they follow Su Jian, their lives will be qualitatively changed in less than a year, or even in half a year.
