Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Before finding a good solution, Zhang He could only put eggplants on the list of "cautious planting".

For ordinary people, the most important thing is grain.The grain can not only pay taxes, but also keep it for the family to eat, and the government or rice merchants send people to buy the rest for money.

In order to live a prosperous life, she can only follow the trend and grow rice!

Five grains are the main crops that people rely on for survival, and rice is the most important crop in the south.It's just that no matter how many varieties of rice there are in this period, its yield per mu is only about two shi, which is only a few places.

Zhang He didn't know how much a pebble weighed before, but after he learned a lot, he realized that a pebble is only about 50 kilograms.Compared with the results of modern hybrid rice yielding four to five hundred or even more than 600 kilograms per mu, the difference is too much.

"If the rice I grow yields eight to nine stones per mu, if people find out, I'm afraid they will have to focus on my land?" Zhang He thought.

Looking at the few chemical fertilizers in the system, she decided not to use chemical fertilizers, but to plant in the same way as ordinary people.It is hoped that hybrid rice will prevail, and three or four stones will be enough.

When Zhang He was thinking about the farmland, he raised his eyes and saw Xia Jiniang walking over with a basket.Since Hua Chaojie came back, they haven't spoken to each other.It's not that there was any hostility between them, it's just that Zhang He was busy with the fields, and Xia Jiniang was avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally.If Zhang He hadn't been chatting in Aunt Li's field, and she had come to deliver food to Aunt Li, the two of them would never have met.

"Mistress Xia." Zhang He called out.

Xia Jiniang saw her from a long distance, and even though she didn't want Aunt Li to mess with her husband again, she still bit the bullet and came here.She smiled slightly: "Why did Zhang Erlang come here when he is free?"

"Sneak a break from your busy schedule and come to ask the aunt about farming."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "It's not about asking for advice, it's just chatter."

Xia Jiniang didn't say anything, she put the basket on the edge of the field, and said to Aunt Li: "Auntie, it's almost time for breakfast, hurry up and have a drink and rest!"

There were two bowls of dumplings in the basket, two pieces of Hubing and a pot of water. The Hubing was left over from last night, and it became soft after being heated.The dumplings were freshly made, still steaming and full of fragrance.

"Brother Donkey, are you hungry, do you want to have a taste?" Aunt Li asked with sharp eyes, seeing Zhang He staring at the dumplings in the bowl.

Zhang He rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said, "No need, I should go back to have lunch in an hour." She just thought of Xia Jiniang's craftsmanship and was a little envious, but she never wanted to be misunderstood as greedy .

Others were having breakfast, and she couldn't stay here any longer, so she went back first.After eating and resting, Xia Jiniang and Aunt Li continued to work.

It was only when the sun was setting that Xia Jiniang and Aunt Li drove Zhang He's old cow home.Aunt Li was preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Xia Jiniang went to return the old cow to Zhang He.

When I was at the door, I heard Zhang Xian's voice: "Second brother is hungry..."

"I'm not two." Zhang He's voice was a little floaty, as if it came from inside the house.

"Second brother is so hungry!" Zhang Xian shouted again.

"You are the best!"

Listening to their conversation, Xia Jiniang only thought it was interesting, but she didn't forget her purpose of coming here, so she said outside: "Zhang Erlang, I'm here to return the bull."

Zhang Xian ran out all of a sudden, his dark eyes were shining brightly: "Sister Xia!"

Xia Jiniang couldn't figure out why he saw her expression like this, so she nodded with a smile.Zhang Xian took the initiative to take the rope leading the old cow and pulled it inside, and asked Xia Jiniang to come in and sit down for a while.

"Have sister Xia had dinner?" Zhang Xian asked.

"Not yet." Usually, it should be eaten an hour ago, but she and Aunt Li came back so late after being busy, so they didn't eat.And this time was when Zhang He's family had just started making dinner, and she happened to see Zhang He coming out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes.

"Mistress Xia is here!" Zhang He greeted her as usual.

"My aunt asked me to return the cow, which I fed earlier." Xia Jiniang said.

"Don't you need to borrow any more?" Zhang He asked.

"Well, the field has been plowed."

Xia Jiniang's gaze fell on the dish in Zhang He's hand, but the dish that was supposed to be delicious in color and fragrance was a bit burnt, and there was no scent.Zhang Xian drove the old cow back to the cowshed, and when he saw it, the expression on his little face collapsed, and he said, "I don't want to eat this."

"Eat more vegetables for good health!" Zhang He replied.

"This is so bitter!" Zhang Xian continued to resist.

"Bitter has to be eaten."

Zhang Xian hid beside Xia Jiniang, pulled her sleeves, and looked hopeful: "Sister Xia's dishes are not bitter, but delicious!"

Xia Jiniang knew that the mustard greens in Zhang He's hands were generally bitter, so she didn't think that they would not be bitter in her hands.However, compared to Zhang He who was so burnt, she was confident that she would not get burnt.

Looking at Zhang He also looking at her eagerly, she softened her heart and said, "Does Zhang Erlang still need help?"

Zhang He looked at her unexpectedly, then shook his head and said, "How can I ask Mrs. Xia to help for free!"

Zhang Xian quickly dismantled her: "Second brother wants to eat fish, but he doesn't know how to do it!"

Feeling ashamed, Zhang He glared at Zhang Xian: "If you talk about it again, I will send you back to school tomorrow!"

Zhang Xian looked at Xia Jiniang pitifully, who was amused by them, and said, "It's a great kindness for Zhang Erlang to lend us a cow, and it's only right for me to help cook a meal."

"Uh...then I'll trouble Lady Xia." Zhang He thought of the fish he ate last time, so he cheekily asked her to help.

Xia Jiniang sighed in her heart, she wanted to avoid Zhang He, but she couldn't.But looking at Zhang He like this, it is also hard to alienate people.

Zhang Xian was very happy: "The food sent by sister Xia last time was very delicious. The second brother always wanted to eat fish, but it was full of fishy smell, which was not good!"

Zhang He simply didn't listen to Zhang Xian's bad words about her, and helped Xia Ji Niang light a fire on the sidelines.Xia Jiniang didn't expect Zhang He to love fish. After thinking about it, she divided the fish into two parts, one part was steamed and the other was boiled in soup.

"The size of the fire also needs to be controlled, let me do it." Xia Jiniang said to Zhang He, and then drove the two idlers out.

"Am I that useless?" Zhang He muttered to himself.

Zhang Xian took the opportunity to hand over the mustard greens she fried to Xia Jiniang. Zhang He found that her status in Zhang Xian's heart was getting lower and lower, so he couldn't help but sneak him over: "Village school, family school, choose one."

The village school is a private school run by some educated people in the village, mainly accepting children who want to be enlightened in the village.Family schools are generally private schools run by wealthy families for the children of the clan, but some also accept children from the countryside.

In contrast, the village school is close to the home, but the basic purpose is to let the children know how to read, but not to learn more knowledge; Children are studying, and here mainly teach the enlightenment knowledge such as "Mengxue", "Thousand-Character Essay", "Taigong Family Education", "Three-Character Training", and further knowledge will be taught later.

A big family like the Zhang family has a family school, but it is still some distance away from here near Zhangjiazhuang.If Zhang Xian wanted to go to Zhang's family school, he had to go back to Zhang's family.

"Village school." Zhang Xian made his choice without thinking for a long time.

Zhang He sighed: "Let's go to the village school!"

The last time the Huachao Festival came to the city, she bought some textbooks for Zhang Xian to study. In addition to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, there are also "Meng Xue", "Thousand Characters", and "Three Characters Training".She does know the characters in these books, but if she is asked to teach others, it is still impossible.

"Study hard, and when you grow up, I will send you to a better place to find a better teacher to study." Zhang He said.

She didn't ask Zhang Xian what he wanted to do when he grew up. After all, unlike her only way of farming, Zhang Xian had many choices when he grew up.As far as men are concerned, taking the imperial examination is probably the best way out.

When Xia Jiniang came out with the dishes, it was already dark outside.Zhang He and Zhang Xian's stomachs were pounding with hunger, and when they smelled the scent, their saliva almost flowed out.

"There's still fish soup on the stove. I've put out the fire, but it won't be cold for a while." Xia Jiniang said, "I'm going back first."

"Mistress Xia!" Zhang He said quickly, "How about staying and eating together?"

Xia Jiniang helped her cook, and it was really embarrassing for people to leave after finishing.

"My aunt has already prepared my share, and she is probably waiting for me to go back."

Zhang He didn't want her to go back empty-handed, so he went to get some eggs for her: "I picked them up this morning, they're still fresh."

Xia Jiniang couldn't refuse and had to accept it, and said: "If you think mustard greens are too bitter, you can pickle them into spicy feet or spicy dishes, and the taste is also good."

"Oh, good." Zhang He didn't know what spicy feet and spicy dishes were at all, so he just complied.

Xia Jiniang returned to Aunt Li's house, but the latter didn't ask her why she came back so late, but seeing her take a few eggs, she knew that she must be helping Zhang He again.She thought in her heart that if Xia Jiniang married Zhang He, maybe the two of them would have a better life.It's a pity that Xia Jiniang was never in a hurry, and Zhang He didn't see any intention of marrying a wife, she was really worried for them!

In late February, the "Chun Fu" who served as guards were released one after another, and the number of people in the village gradually increased.

Aunt Li and Xia Jiniang worked in the fields for a day, and seven or eight villagers who came back from serving as servants greeted them.When they saw Xia Jiniang, they couldn't help but take a second look: "Aunt Li, whose wife is this?"

"My niece!" Aunt Li said.

"Oh, you came here three years ago, right?" The man was somewhat impressed.

"is her."

"Are you allowed?" The man asked again.

"Yes." Aunt Li replied.

The man let out an "oh" and left disappointed.

Xia Jiniang silently watched Aunt Li deceive him, and asked privately: "Auntie, why did you tell him that I have already committed to someone else?"

Aunt Li pulled her and told her, "That's Zhang Hua from the head of the village, he's a criminal, you should stay away from them when you see them."

"Ok?"

Aunt Li saw that she was still a little confused, so she explained: "That Zhang Hua is only 24 years old, but he is not a good person. He got married six years ago and gave birth to a daughter the next year. But he didn't want daughter, he drowned the newborn child and buried it behind the house. But the third, fourth and fifth year were all daughters, and he killed them all. Perhaps it was retribution, his wife gave birth to him last year He gave birth to a son, but he died overnight, and his wife died too."

Xia Jiniang understood what Aunt Li meant, she was worried that Zhang Hua would take a fancy to her.He replied: "I will remember what my aunt said, and I will avoid him."

Aunt Li was very relieved of Xia Jiniang, except for Zhang He's family, she had never seen her run to other men's houses.Thinking of Zhang He, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Zhang He all day, so she said to Xia Jiniang, "Ji Niang, I'll just do my work here, you go to Brother Donkey's field and help him take a look. "

The author has something to say: Dumplings were called wontons in the Song Dynasty, but in order not to confuse them, and considering that they are empty, they are directly expressed as dumplings.

And the steamed buns in the Song Dynasty are actually steamed buns with fillings, and steamed buns... are still steamed buns_(:з」∠)_
