After Ye Xiang's matter was settled, He Yunxi and Lu Yan went back.
Farming will be busy starting tomorrow. The 700 acres of land are quite busy.
She wrote a letter and asked Lu Yan to send someone to send it back to Mrs. Liu.
Chili is now finished, the hot pot restaurant is about to open, the cook is about to come, and the pot is also about to be brought over.
By the way, Mrs. Liu was asked to take a few children to live in Zhuangzi, and then take them to Liaozhou for a tour, just in time to wait for Lu Yan to take the exam at the end of the month and go back together.
After being out for so long, she missed them.
Moreover, Lu Yan's birthday is coming soon, and everyone came over to celebrate his birthday.
I don't know what kind of development Lu Yan used. When Liu got the letter, she immediately sent someone to notify Lu Shi and the others the next morning.
The chili peppers and spice powders that He Yunxi needed to open a hot pot restaurant had been prepared long ago. The pot was also brought back. The group packed up and left that day. When they arrived outside Zhuangzi, it was not yet dark.
He Yunxi met Lu Yan's people today, and when they saw He Yunxi, they called her "Madam." Seeing each of them holding a hoe that was incompatible with their temperament, He Yunxi greeted them with a suppressed smile.
She took everyone to the field and gave them a demonstration first.
The ground was all plowed. She first pulled a line in the ground, and then dug holes along the line. The distance between each hole was sixty or seventy centimeters, and then she poured some of the night incense that the servants of the Yuan family had sent over in the morning.
He went in and threw down the corn kernels coated with medicinal powder.
These medicinal powders were made from the medicinal materials she bought when she was selecting seeds two days ago. They can prevent insects in the ground from biting the corn seeds and are not harmful to the plants.
After throwing the corn seeds into the pits, I poured a little water into each pit, and then covered the soil back into the pits I just dug.
"That's it. When you plant, you should pay attention to a few points. One is to dig holes along this line. The distance between each hole is not exactly the same, but it should be almost the same. There is no need to water the two.
If there is too much water, don’t cover it too much when you finally cover it with soil. If you cover it with too much soil, it will affect the corn’s pressure and break the soil.”
"Madam, can you grow corn like this? When I was in Jinbei Prefecture before, I saw farmers throwing corn directly into the ground and then pouring some manure on it."
"That planting method is wrong. Corn has requirements for light and water temperature. If you scatter corn in the ground, it will grow all over the field. If it is too crowded, it will block the sun and affect the sunlight exposure.
They will also compete with each other for water and nutrients in the ground due to overcrowding, and the final result is that no one can grow well." He Yunxi said, "Are all the corns in Jinbei Prefecture thin and short?"
"Indeed." The man said, "So, planting too much is actually a bad thing?"
"Of course." He Yunxi smiled, "Let's put it this way, everyone knows that if a family is prosperous, everyone will say that they are prosperous. Outsiders will think it is a good thing, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"What if the food of this family is only enough for two people, but they end up having ten children? If the ten children share the food of two children, will these ten children grow up well?" He Yunxi said, "This
It’s the same as growing things on the land. There are only so many nutrients in the land, which can only be absorbed by so much corn.”
When she used this metaphor, everyone understood it.
In fact, the facts are here, and it’s not that difficult. It’s just that everyone has never thought about it this way.
Growing corn really doesn’t require any skills. With He Yunxi’s demonstration, you can dig the pits, pour the manure water, scatter the seeds, water the seeds, and cover the soil with soil.
The acres of land have been planted.
He Yunxi looked at it and sighed: There is strength in numbers!
She left this matter to them. Seeing that the time was almost up, she asked the two women and two boys to go with her to prepare food.
Lu Yan knew that she would be living here for the next few days, so these people brought a sufficient amount of daily necessities when they came.
These four people are all good at making food. With them here, He Yunxi only needs to make arrangements and give them instructions on how to cook.
There are also some steamed buns bought in the morning, which can be steamed.
In addition, she made another pot of brine and brine vegetables such as ribs, pig offal, and lotus root. It was a relatively delicious big pot dish.
Fortunately, the braised food was delicious and she could handle it. Otherwise, if there were so many people, she would probably lose her job cooking it all by herself.
After doing this, she went to call for people to come for dinner.
Farming is physical work, and these are big men, so they need a lot of energy, so this lunch is a must.
Seeing the lunch that He Yunxi prepared for everyone, they were a little confused at first, thinking that the mistress was a little bit shy about giving them these things. Then everyone was soon fascinated by how delicious it was.
Although these things don’t look like much, they are really delicious!
Moreover, I haven’t noticed that the master eats it naturally. This is not the first time he has eaten these.
Woo hoo hoo, it turns out that the lady is still kind to them and is not stingy.
After lunch, He Yunxi let everyone rest for a while, and then he took two people to wash the dishes.
With dozens of bowls, it still takes some time to wash them.
"Yunxi, come with me." Lu Yan pulled He Yunxi away and let the two people wash the dishes by themselves.
He Yunxi followed her to the courtyard where the two of them lived temporarily, and then asked: "What's the matter? Do you want to come back to talk about it?"
"Nothing, let you come back and rest." Lu Yan said, "You have prepared lunch for so many people. If you are tired, let others do the washing of dishes. You are their master now, so you don't have to do this."
"When I saw so many bowls, I thought of joining them. I used to work with my comrades." He Yunxi said, "I won't do it next time. I will pay attention to it."
She is their wife. She cooked for everyone before, which was a way of showing her affection. But washing dishes together again would lower her status.
She didn't care about this, but now she and Lu Yan were one, and lowering her own status meant lowering his status.
You have to pay more attention in the future.
Lu Yan pulled her back because he felt sorry for her, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more to her. He pulled her to rest on the beauty's couch. He Yunxi leaned in his arms and said, "It's so big here and no one is guarding it. Shouldn't we?"
Want to buy some people back?"
"You don't plan to keep these people here?" Lu Yan asked.
"These people are all your subordinates. They should be very capable and are doing other things for you. The reason for planting corn this time is because it was too sudden. Otherwise, we wouldn't bother them." He Yunxi said, "You
It’s better to keep your power in the dark, and just buy some ordinary people in the open.”
