Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

An An calmed himself down and called her, "Ah Qing."

Su Ziling didn't turn around. "Huh? What's the matter?" She was still scooping the ice jelly. "What else do you want to add, sister-in-law?"

"No, no, no, no, no, that's enough," she continued while everyone was here, "I looked at the sweet potatoes and corn in the field today, and the harvest is at least 100 to 200 kilograms more than ours. I want to ask if you can tell me about this method, so that my eldest brother and others can learn from it."

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her, "Is that all?" She burst out laughing, then turned around and continued to scoop the ice jelly.

"I thought it was something that made you hesitate for so long. It's nothing. Everyone in the village knows how to do it. Just ask your eldest brother and let him tell you. There's no rush for the planting method. You can ask your aunt and the others to ferment the manure. If you start fermenting it now, it will be ready for use next year when you apply manure."

"With manure, the harvest can be increased. As for the planting method, I estimate that next year our Yongchang County will become a pilot, and the whole county will probably use this method."

"The whole county?" Father Su looked at her. "You want to teach in each village?"

Su Ziling: "..."

Before Su Ziling could say anything, Grandma Su glanced at him and said unhappily, "Does she look like she has nothing to do after eating? She's going to teach in every village. Do you know how many villages there are in Yongchang County? She's stupid."

Father Su: "..."

Su Ziling was so amused when he heard Grandma Su scolding people, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he had to hold it in.

Mr. Su also looked at her, "But did the government say so?"

After helping someone kill insects last time, Grandpa Su knew that she knew the county magistrate, so he had some guesses in his mind.

"I think he will come over in the next two days to check the harvest. He came to check it out some time ago and asked me to write down the planting method in detail."

Lu Yan had told him about this a long time ago, and this guy kept it in mind. In July, he took the time to come and take a look.

He had been the county magistrate for more than half a year, almost a year, and had been to the fields quite often. He found that most of the crops had thin stalks that were not grown in an orderly manner, with some crops scattered here and some crops there. The corn cobs were also like chicken heads, and sometimes the trees would fall down when the wind was strong enough.

After seeing those, I suddenly saw the ones from their village.

The corn is planted in rows, not only growing neatly but also with thick stalks and big cobs. Most importantly, the corn ridges are planted with sweet potato vines.

When he came, the sweet potato vines had only been planted for a few days, but it was obvious that they had already taken root and survived, and the sweet potato leaves were all lush and green.

In this weather and with this sun, the flowers should have been wilted.

That was what he thought at the time, until Chang Ce asked, "The sweet potatoes in other villages have already been planted a long way away, and they can probably be dug up in August or September. Why are you just planting them now?"

Shen Xingye finally reacted and said, when he saw the sweet potato vines, he always felt something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It turned out that they planted them late.

It was not until Su Ziling briefly explained the intercropping and ridge-ditch planting methods to him that the boy's eyes lit up. He didn't understand anything else, but the increase in production was obvious.

At that time, he walked around the village and looked at the growth of the crops. He was as happy as if he had picked up silver.

When I left, I also took a cart of mushroom jam back with me. Before leaving, I told her that I would come back to see the harvest when it was time to harvest the crops.

She thought that it was already mid-August, almost September, and he should be here soon.

Mr. Su nodded and asked, "Have you written it?"

Su Ziling: "..."

I inexplicably feel like I'm being urged to do my homework.

You can tell from her expression that she hasn’t written it yet.

"Then take some time to write it quickly. People will read it when the time comes. If it is true as you said that our entire county will be used as a pilot next year, then we need to prepare in advance."

"Well, I'll write after I'm done with this busy period." Su Ziling finished the last bowl of rice and said, "Come on, it's time to eat. Let's eat first."

"In this weather, I have to have ice jelly. A bowl of this cool jelly is so comfortable." Father Su ate quite wildly. After stirring it evenly, he picked up the bowl and drank it in big gulps.

"I see that the harvest from the seeds you sowed in the wasteland is pretty good. Sow more next year and harvest more ice powder seeds. This way, if you can't sell them all this year, you can continue to sell them in May or June next year."

"Of course there's no way we can't sell all of them," Su Ziling was very happy. "You've seen that the business in our restaurant is booming every day. It's just that we can't squeeze in. Otherwise, I don't think we can sell enough no matter how much we make."

Su Zizhong also nodded, "The one in the valley is not bad either, we can sell one or two hundred bowls a day."

"It would be best if other villages could grow some as well, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sell enough if we grow it ourselves." Su Ziling drank a bowl of ice jelly and felt full. It was too hot and she didn't feel like eating much, so she simply scooped up half a bowl of porridge and ate it with the bracken.

"If you want to grow ice jelly, my mother's side is also good." An An said, and when everyone looked at her, she continued, "There are a lot of ice jelly in my mother's side of the village, on the roadside, and in the fields. The fruits are better than here, and the trees are much bigger. If we grow them, I think the harvest will be pretty good, but I don't know how to grow them."

"It's quite simple to plant. If anyone is willing to plant, I'd be happy to teach them for free."

After Su Ziling finished speaking, he calculated, "If you plant corn on one acre of land now, you can probably harvest about 250 kilograms."

An An interrupted her and corrected her, "Sometimes it's 180 or 190 kilograms, and at its best it's 220 or 230 kilograms, usually around 200 kilograms."

Su Ziling nodded, "Okay, let's calculate based on 200 catties. One mu of land is 200 catties of corn, and the market price is five cents per catty, so one mu of land is one tael of silver."

"If you want to grow ice powder, you have to spend more time and effort, and you have to use some manure. If you manage it properly, you can get about 80 kilograms of ice powder seeds per mu of land. If you want to get pure seeds, I charge 25 coins per kilogram, which is about 2 taels of silver per mu of land."

Mother Su was tempted when she heard the two taels of silver, "So much? Then we can also grow ice powder seeds."

"Mother, our planting method is mature, and we have enough manure. We can harvest 340 to 50 kilograms of corn per mu. If we add more manure next year, it is possible to yield 400 kilograms per mu, which is actually about the same as ice jelly."

"Besides, corn is the staple food, so we still have to grow it, but we can also grow some ice jelly."

She calculated in her mind that one pound of ice jelly seeds could make seventy to eighty bowls of ice jelly, and with sugar water and other ingredients, ninety to a hundred bowls would be no problem.

A bowl costs five cents, and a pound of ice jelly seeds can be sold for about five hundred cents. Excluding the cost, there is at least four hundred cents.

Wouldn't that one acre of land be able to be sold for more than thirty taels?

Su Ziling swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at his mother, and said seriously, "Mother, you are right. We can grow more ice jelly next year."

She changed her words so quickly that everyone was caught off guard and no one could figure out why she suddenly changed her words.
