In the yard, Su Cheng washed up and then had breakfast with Shen Youwei.
These days, only wealthy families have early morning meals, while ordinary people usually have two meals.
Su Cheng looked at the table full of food, but only he and Shen Youwei were sitting there, and couldn't help but feel a little strange:
"Hey, mother-in-law, won't you come to eat?"
My father-in-law just said that he was going to Buzhuang, but he would understand if he didn't come for dinner.
But on his first day of marriage, his mother-in-law didn't come out to eat, so that's a bit unreasonable.
Could it be that this mother-in-law didn't come to dinner because she looked down on him?
"Madam never likes to be seen in public, and meals are usually delivered to her room." The maid Qiuyue explained in a low voice.
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows.
This mother-in-law is a bit mysterious!
Since they got married yesterday, they have only seen each other once when they visited the church. Even when Shen Youwei beat the county magistrate's son, the other party didn't show up.
"Okay, don't ask so many questions, hurry up and eat, I will go to the fields with you after eating!"
Seeing Su Cheng's pensive look, Shen Youwei couldn't help but curl her lips and urge him.
Su Cheng didn't dare to ask any more questions. He took the bowl and licked it a few times quickly, making the two maids Chun Hua Qiu Yue cover their mouths and almost laugh out loud.
After breakfast, the group, escorted by several servants, came to the fields outside the city.
The vast Jiangnan landform can be seen clearly in this field, with the surrounding waters criss-crossing and surrounding a large field.
In the fields, tenant farmers in twos and threes are working, some are checking the water source, and some are checking the growth of the seedlings.
"These more than three hundred acres of land belong to my Shen family. If you can really increase production tenfold, then my Shen family will not only be able to hoard food this year, but also sell a lot!"
Wearing a sky blue dress, Shen Youwei chuckled: "Now, it's your turn, I want to see how you increase production!"
Shen Youwei doesn't believe in the increase in production.
She wanted to expose Su Cheng's lies herself!
Although she was forced to agree to the marriage, she did not admit that Su Chengcheng was her husband-in-law.
If what Su Cheng said was a lie, she was going to write a letter of divorce to Su Cheng!
Su Cheng smiled lightly, rolled up his trousers, rolled up his sleeves, and walked straight down the field.
Letting the soft soil cover his calves, he bent down and carefully selected the seedlings he wanted.
"You...what are you doing?"
Shen Youwei was stunned by the scene in front of her.
You are a descendant of the royal family. Although you are in despair, you are not going to work in the fields yourself, right?
"I am selecting seedlings. They will be planted in a few days. I want to select some to demonstrate so that the growers know how to hybridize."
While Su Cheng was speaking, he had already put together some good-looking, ordinary, and bad-looking seedlings.
Later, he followed the same method and made several groups of such seedlings.
"Okay, send these to Magistrate Wang and ask him to order that all the seedlings be planted this year so they should be divided like this."
Su Cheng went up to the ridge of the field and handed the seedlings to the servants of the Shen Mansion with a smile.
The servant did not move, but turned to look at Shen Youwei.
Looking at this posture, if Shen Youwei doesn't speak, the servant will not listen to Su Cheng.
"Tell me first what this means!"
Shen Youwei pointed to the groups of seedlings with a surprised look on her face: "Is this what you call hybridization, that is, mixing bad and good seedlings together?"
Su Cheng nodded, squatted down and washed the mud off his feet, while explaining:
"The so-called hybridization is to use the two-line method and the one-line method to derive a hybrid generation from excellent parents using good, ordinary and poor growth seedlings. Due to hybrid vigor, this generation will have higher yield and quality than the previous generation. Good, the yield is higher.”
Shen Youwei couldn't understand the too complicated explanation, but Su Cheng explained the principle of hybridization in easy-to-understand terms.
But even so, Shen Youwei was still confused and couldn't understand at all.
"I haven't heard of anything you said..."
"Forget it, Ali, send these seedlings to Magistrate Wang!"
"Qiuyue, take two groups and show them to the tenant farmers, and ask them to plant according to this method this year."
Shen Youwei is not a mother-in-law person, so she has to plant it no matter what she does, so she might as well try Su Cheng's method of hybridization.
Although it sounds mysterious, Su Cheng's sworn look still made Shen Youwei feel the firmness in his heart.
Shen Youwei couldn't explain why she believed Su Cheng so easily.
Maybe it was the scene where Su Cheng stood in front of him yesterday.
Or maybe it was because Su Cheng went to the fields in person just now that shocked her.
"Okay, let's go back. Looking at how dirty you are, others may think that the Shen family has treated you badly and asked your uncle to work in the fields!"
Shen Youwei glanced at Su Cheng, who was still washing the mud on his feet, feeling somewhat helpless.
Su Cheng chuckled and responded.
Unexpectedly, my wife is quite decent.
However, he will have to do this kind of thing frequently in the future. After the hybrid rice is planted, he will have to go to the fields to observe from time to time.
Now, we are just waiting for the county magistrate to fully promote it.
Half an hour later, in the Liuhe County Yamen, Wang Defa's desk was covered with five groups of seedlings prepared by Su Cheng himself.
"Is this hybridization?"
Wang Defa touched his goatee, his eyes flickering: "Just insert these good, ordinary and bad seedlings together when transplanting?"
No matter how it sounds, this sounds a bit fantasy.
Isn't that boy Su Cheng deceiving me?
While he was deep in thought, a roar came from the side hall: "Father, you must make the decision for me. How dare that little bitch of the Shen family beat me like this!"
While talking, Wang Mingyu appeared in front of Wang Defa with a pig's head.
Wang Defa frowned when he saw his son's appearance: "Didn't I let you rest and recuperate in the house? What are you doing out here?"
"Father, I have become a joke in Liuhe County, but you still want to make a bet with Su Cheng. I...I can't swallow this breath!"
"Hmph, you have to swallow it even if you can't. We'll talk about this later when the food is harvested!"
Wang Defa snorted coldly, took the five groups of seedlings and turned around to leave.
Compared with getting promoted and getting rich, what does it mean if your son suffers a little injustice?
If he could really increase his grain production tenfold, when he gets promoted and becomes rich, he would probably marry more concubines for his son.
But Wang Mingyu doesn’t think so!
In front of so many prominent figures in Liuhe County being beaten into pig heads, Wang Mingyu wanted to tear Shen Youwei alive!
Looking at Wang Defa's leaving figure, Wang Mingyu clenched his hands in anger and said through gritted teeth:
"Since you, father, are not willing to stand up for me, I have to do this!"
"Come here, go and gather people right away. I must make that little girl of the Shen family look good today!"
Wang Mingyu couldn't swallow this shame and humiliation.
His father is the county magistrate, and the Wang family has the final say in Liuhe County.
