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

The drizzle in September came quickly and left quickly. After two days of rain, the road was dry and Su Ziling took Twenty to the county town.

Shen Xingye had been very busy during this period, so he was not surprised to see Su Ziling. He said, "Don't worry, the food has been delivered, and the old man and his men have also taken care of the follow-up food and fodder."

Hearing his words, Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine as long as they've delivered it. So, how is he?"

"Don't worry, he's fine. He's in Beijing..."

"Wait a minute!" Su Ziling interrupted him, "When did he go to Shangjing again? Didn't he say he was at the border?"

Shen Xingye scratched his head. "How would I know? The news he sent me was just like this. At the beginning, he said he was at the border, but when I received the letter two days ago, he was already in the capital. He said that His Majesty had woken up and the Second Prince was under house arrest."

"Lu Jingyu is also on his way back. The border environment is bad, and there is no way for him to recover properly. Once he leaves, there will be no one left at the border. Although the prince is here, he has no experience after all, so my old man has to take the lead."

As he said this, he muttered, "I'm far away, and the news is always a step behind. By the time I found out, he had already reached the border." He also knew what Su Ziling was worried about.

He comforted her, "Don't worry, they can't get in. You haven't heard of my old man's name. With him around, those people won't get any good results. So do what you need to do. Don't worry. I estimate that it will be settled before the New Year."

"Let me tell you, the food and grass we sent over have been a great help. You should think carefully about the reward you want now. Once the dust settles, the reward will probably come. By the way, your planting method has also been adopted. I estimate that it will be fully promoted next year."

"And someone will probably come to see you in a couple of days. Hehe, I think I'll have to do some small promotion as well. This is all thanks to Sister Xiaoqing. Don't worry, I'll protect you when you get to Shangjing."

"Wait a minute, why are you looking for me?" There was too much information and Su Ziling was stunned.

Shen Xingye had a look on his face that said, "Why are you so stupid?" "Of course it's because you know how to grow crops the best."

"But, haven't I already written down in detail how to plant it? It's accurate to the steps, not missing any small details. Besides, you know how to do it, and there are many people who know how to do it in the county government..."

"You know that those good-for-nothings in Beijing who spend their days drinking and partying all the time can recognize a lot of characters, but they have never put their hands on anything. If we really want them to figure it out, it will probably take another year or two."

Shen Xingye didn't know that when Chang Ce was talking about the good-for-nothing and the life of a spendthrift, the way he looked at him was not concealed at all.

Her eyes were filled with: Sir, you used to be like that too.

"But..." Su Ziling frowned. She didn't want to go to Beijing. She just wanted to stay in her small piece of land in Yongchang County, farm well, open a mushroom hotpot restaurant, make sweet potato noodles, and run a workshop.

"Don't say but, Lu Yan knows you don't want to go," Shen Xingye stepped forward, put his elbow on her shoulder, and looked nonchalant, "So, our emperor sent people to learn from you, and you can teach them when the time comes."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and moved closer, "I think I'll have to give you an official title..."

Before he could finish his words, Twenty directly put his hands in front of his face and said expressionlessly, "My lord, please respect yourself!"

Shen Xingye: "..."

"What do you mean by self-respect? What's wrong with a few words between us siblings? Let me tell you..."

Twenty interrupted, "Then I'll have to send a pigeon to our boss."

Shen Xingye immediately changed his tone and said seriously, "You are right. Men and women should not be intimate with each other. We should respect ourselves. Even if we are brother and sister, we should keep a proper distance."

Su Ziling: "..."

After returning from the county town, Su Ziling told everyone the news he had received. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the road in the valley began to open up again.

It has been hot these past few months, and I just harvested a lot of ice jelly seeds last month. If I don’t set up the stall on this day, the loss will be huge.

The workshop operates as usual, and sweet potato vermicelli, ginger and taro powder are not left out.

Dig out the islet fruits, clean them, dry them in the sun and pickle them.

Sweet potatoes can be dug in late September. A lot of fertilizer was applied to the corn fields in the first half of the year, and now sweet potatoes are planted. This year's sweet potato harvest has broken the per-acre yield record again.

Every household had a good harvest, and the Su family's house was filled with sweet potatoes again. Sweet potatoes were delivered in an endless stream, and the pestle and mortar in the Su family's workshop was almost smoking from the pounding.

But everyone was very happy because there was a bumper harvest of corn in August and a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes in late September.

After paying the tax on corn, there is more left than in previous years, and there is still surplus grain to sell. Now, by selling sweet potatoes, I can earn another ten taels of silver.

Add to that the wages from daily work, the money from selling mushrooms, the money from selling vegetables, as well as eggs, duck eggs, rabbit eggs, bell peppers, and the chayote from a few days ago, and all the rest, the money he made this year is more than he made in the previous decades.

It is a bit tiring, but we earn a lot. Not only can we have enough to eat and have surplus food, but everyone also makes money.

With better conditions, families started raising chickens, ducks, geese and pigs. Many families renovated their houses, and a few bought cows and sheep.

It rained again in October. This rain came just in time. It rained for a day and a night. After the rain stopped, everyone was busy planting the early spring crops.

People planted whatever they could find, such as broad beans, peas, wheat and radishes, especially radishes. Last year, many families planted a lot of them and sold them for several taels of silver. This year, even more people are planting them.

As for the Su family, they only planted broad beans on a few acres of land and peas on a few mu. They used the rest to plant radishes. The most important thing was that they had rapeseed this year. The rapeseed looked much worse than that in later generations, but it was better than nothing.

When planting Su Ziling, hole sowing is used, and the row spacing and plant spacing are controlled well. Base fertilizer is applied in advance, and four to five seeds are thrown in one nest. When this rapeseed first comes out, it looks very similar to rapeseed.

Many people who saw this thought that their family grew a special patch of mustard greens to pickle and sell.

Because it was the first time, Su's father and the others had no experience and took extra care to take care of it.

In mid-October, the people Shen Xingye mentioned arrived. Most of them were older, and the youngest was in his forties.

Most of the crops in Nanning Prefecture had been planted, so there was no way to take them to plant, so everyone went to the neighboring county.

After finding a village, Su Ziling started with them, starting with making manure. Everyone was an expert in this area, so it was easy to teach them. Sometimes they would remember what they learned after just one teaching and could apply it to other situations.

The most important thing is that he studied very seriously, always with pen and paper in his hands, and wrote down everything she taught him.

How to ferment manure, what is the dosage of lime, how to dig ridges, what is the row spacing, and what is the plant spacing.

How to intercrop, what things are most suitable to be interplanted together, and finally, topdressing, when is the best time to do it, and how many times is the best.

Finally, the topic was about insects. Everyone talked about the insect plague two years ago. Seeing Su Ziling around, he asked again about the insecticide. The most important thing was the dosage and ratio.

The whole set of lessons was taught quite quickly. After the lesson, not all the students left, except for two younger ones.

The rest of the people took root in Yongchang County directly. They were taught, but they also had to try it themselves.

Moreover, promotion is not something that can be achieved overnight, it still takes time.

In November, Su Ziling rushed back to Baihua Cave. Her sugarcane was already fully ripe, but her father and his family had never planted it before, so she had to watch over it at this time.

Knowing that her family grew many crops that were not grown in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the adults followed them.

They all came from common families and their families had been farmers for generations, so they were not arrogant. When they saw them working, they rolled up their sleeves and started working with them without saying a word.

Especially those who are a bit older, over 60 years old, with gray hair and hunched backs. Su Ziling was afraid that they would be broken to pieces if they fell.

But the old guys were all stubborn and insisted on joining us no matter what.

After harvesting the sugarcane, Su Ziling did not eat it or make sugar from it. Instead, he saved it as seeds and planted it in the spring of the following February.

There is no need to turn over the roots of those planted this year, as these perennial roots will sprout and continue to grow next year.

The days went on in an orderly and routine manner. Except for having to take a few old men to the fields from time to time, everything else was no different.
