Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Huo Yunchao came to Xu's house with a bamboo basket on his back. He pushed the door open naturally and saw Butcher Xu who was chopping firewood. He smiled and said hello: "Dad Xu, good morning! Dad Xu, did you chop so much firewood? It took you a long time to chop it." Yet?"

Butcher Xu loved to hear Huo Yunchao talk. His son-in-law had a sweet mouth and loved to laugh, which made him happy just to see him. The only shortcoming is that Huo Yunchao is a bit too thin and his body does not look very strong.

Just looking at appearance, Huo Yunchao's skinny figure might have problems in giving birth and raising children.

The Huo family has a large population, with three and a half sons.

As the saying goes, a young man will eat a poor man.

If Huo Tianxiang hadn't been a carpenter, it would have been difficult to raise three and a half young men, let alone provide for Huo Yunchao's education.

Butcher Xu thought that after the happy event was over, he would bring back some good things to replenish his health, and let Xu Ning stew them to replenish Huo Yunchao.

After a year and a half, Huo Yunchao will be strong and healthy, and he will be able to hold a fat and white grandson in his arms!

Butcher Xu laughed out loud when he thought of this, which attracted Huo Yunchao's curious gaze. He quickly stopped his strange smile and cleared his throat: "Chao'er, do you have anything you need to buy? I'll go to town later. If you have anything to buy, I’ll bring it back to you in the evening.”

Huo Yunchao took out the one hundred cents he earned from selling insecticides from his pocket and handed them to Butcher Xu: "Dad Xu, this is the one hundred cents I earned from selling insecticides. This hundred cents is not enough. Father Xu, you need to add a lot to buy the medicinal materials. According to the recipe I bought last time, buy two more, no, three more! The man surnamed Zhou must be watching our every move, Father Xu, let’s buy more Bring back the medicinal materials for later use, otherwise Zhou’s reaction will come back

If you come over here and deliberately cut off our goods, you'll be in trouble. "

Butcher Xu glanced at Xu Ning and saw that she had nothing to say. He took the hundred cents handed to him by Huo Yunchao and said, "This hundred cents will be used to buy medicinal materials for braised meat. I will pay for the medicinal materials for insecticides." Money to buy.”

Huo Yunchao replied full of ambition: "Okay! Dad Xu, I will work hard to make money!"

Butcher Xu didn't mind the small amount of money given by Huo Yunchao. He had already estimated the value of the batch of insecticides when he was having dinner at Huo's house. The money Huo Yunchao received was one hundred cents, not a penny more and not a penny less, all of which were given to him. The medicine is gone.

This is not only a hundred cents, but also Huo Yunchao's "voucher of fame" - he already regards himself as a member of the Xu family and thinks about issues from the Xu family's perspective.

Butcher Xu saw through it without saying anything. After chopping the firewood, he went to rest under the eaves. Seeing Huo Yunchao humming and hugging the firewood, he felt unprecedented peace of mind and satisfaction.

Ning Niang was lucky enough to find such an honest and capable son-in-law as Huo Yunchao.

After seeing off Butcher Xu, Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning finished the trivial chores at home and headed into the mountains with their bamboo baskets on their backs.

Entering the mountain, Xu Ning walked in front with a woodcutter in hand. Huo Yunchao followed her footsteps, stopping to dig herbs from time to time: "Mother Ning, I want to find a paddy field to grow green manure. Try it and see if it is the same as what is said in the book. .”

Xu Ning didn't understand and asked: "What is green manure? How to plant it?"

Huo Yunchao: "I want to plant vetch between wheat rows and try to see the effect. The book says that on the same piece of land, green manure crops should be planted alternately with other crops in the same season. Interplanting green manure can make full use of soil fertility and achieve Use land to nourish the land and reduce weeds and diseases. If

The effect is really as good as the book says, I plan to plant milkvetch between late-maturing rice..."

Xu Ning has 100% trust in Huo Yunchao, "You tell me how to plant, and I will listen to you."

Huo Yunchao chuckled and said, "In addition to green fertilizer, I also want to make several kinds of fertilizers. For example, I would use cha Ku cake mixed with other fertilizers to make base fertilizer, which can kill pests hiding underground."

According to the knowledge Huo Yunchao has learned: Common pests include rice borers, rice planthoppers, rice bracts, rice bugs, rice leaf rollers, rice weevils, etc.

Cha Ku cake and Cha Ku liquid have good stomach poisoning and contact killing effect on pests, and can be widely used on vegetables, rice, fruit trees, tea, flowers and other crops.

Mixed with fertilizer to make base fertilizer, it can also control underground pests such as weevils, grubs, mole crickets, etc. It has no pollution, no residual poison, is durable in storage, and has a long-lasting effect.

Xu Ning is not interested in medicinal principles. She is a standard pragmatist - she never cares which hen laid the eggs in her mouth.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat!

Huo Yunchao saw that Xu Ning was not interested in those principles. He was a little regretful but more fortunate. If Xu Ning got to the bottom of it, he might not be able to hide it from her.

When the young couple were hunting for treasure in the mountains, Huo Tianxiang led Huo Yunze to Zheng Shaoxuan's house. Looking at the leaky and crumbling mud house, his silence was deafening.

Huo Yunze had heard Zheng Shaoxuan say that his house had only four walls. When he saw such a dilapidated house, he couldn't recover for a long time.

Huo Tianxiang did some mental preparation and went to the door and asked, "Is this Zheng Shaoxuan and Zheng Shulang's home? I'm from Pingle Village, and my surname is Huo."

Zheng Shao

Xuan's daughter-in-law, Lin Xiaocao, was serving rice soup to her mother-in-law. When she heard the movement outside, she panicked: "Mom, it seems that the benefactor from Pingle Village is here! Oops! My husband is not at home, what should I do?"

It took some effort for Mother Zheng to open her mouth and speak: "Xiaocao, go and invite your benefactor in."

"But, but..." Lin Xiaocao glanced at the dilapidated home with an embarrassed look on his face.

She is not afraid of being laughed at, but she is afraid that her husband-in-law will be looked down upon.

Mother Zheng comforted her: "Don't think too much. Our benefactor is willing to lend us five hundred coins without even meeting Shaoxuansu. How can such noble people dislike us?"

With the encouragement of her mother-in-law, Lin Xiaocao came to the door and looked back, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to open the door: "Yes, is the benefactor here?"

Huo Tianxiang smiled when he saw Lin Xiaocao, who had a sallow face and thin muscles, and highlighted his big and bright eyes: "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Is Zheng Shulang at home?"

Lin Xiaocao saw that Huo Tianxiang had a kind face and her eyes were calm. Her tense brain relaxed a little, and she stuttered and replied: "My benefactor, my husband went to the bookstore in town before dawn. At this hour, my husband should be coming from town." came back."

Huo Tianxiang made way for Huo Yunze to come over and salute Lin Xiaocao: "Ms. Zheng, this is my second son Huo Yunze. We, father and son, are here to be apprentices to Zheng Shulang."

Huo Yunze stepped forward to say hello to Lin Xiaocao and saluted: "Hello, Master!"

Lin Xiaocao was startled and did not dare to accept Huo Yunze's gift: "No, I don't want to accept it, don't accept it! My benefactor, my husband said that he wants to accept this young man as his student?"

Zheng Shaoxuan never said that he would accept students, and she did not dare to accept the courtesy indiscriminately. Afraid of losing life.

"Didn't Zheng Shulang mention it?" Huo Tianxiang heard that

A bit confused.

Lin Xiaocao shook his head: "No, no, my husband immersed himself in copying books as soon as he got home."

Mother Zheng said: "Xiaocao, please invite your benefactor into the house!"

Lin Xiaocao hurriedly made way for Huo Tianxiang and his son: "My benefactor, the house is too messy and makes you laugh."
