Xing Zhong is an old farmer who has been used to farming for many years, so he doesn't need other people's advice on things like water and fertilizer.Xing Xiuyan can still think of earthworm soil, let alone him?

He has already purchased dozens of acres of Susukida under his rule.

what to do?

Raise earthworms, pigs, chickens and ducks!

Earthworms can be used as feed to feed poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks and pigs. The fermented manure of poultry and livestock is the best fertilizer.

After the manure is fermented, it is mixed with beans, stalks, wheat straw, etc. After secondary fermentation, it is mixed with fine sand and thrown into small earthworms to raise them for ten and a half months, and finally the finished earthworm soil is sold to farmers as fertilizer. The raised earthworms are directly used to raise chickens Ducks and pigs, chickens, ducks and pigs that eat live food grow fast and grow well enough to sell for a price.

Xing Zhong not only made a lot of money from poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks and pigs, but also taught this model to the local people. The local chicken, duck and pig breeding industry has developed, and his own dozens of acres of land only need Plant alfalfa and soybeans to raise earthworms, and sell the earthworms to nearby farmers as livestock feed. Even chicken plague, duck fever, and swine fever are saved!And get the land that is getting fertile!

Alfalfa and soybeans can fertilize the fields, and earthworms, chickens, ducks and pigs can continuously generate income. The Xing family has gained a lot of money this year, and under Xing Zhong's rule, the production of sweet potatoes is also amazing.

In the first year, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes was not high, with an average of 2 catties per mu. In the second year, the yield jumped to [-] catties per mu. More importantly, the planting area was also amazing, let alone Guangguan Tian. More than [-] mu of sweet potatoes have been planted, and many people have planted one-third of an mu of land in front of and behind their houses.

If the national taxation policy hadn't been adjusted, and sweet potatoes hadn't been included in the grain payment system, there would be more sweet potatoes planted by ordinary people!

What's more, the 4000 million catties of sweet potatoes from Xing Zhong immediately became life-saving food during the severe drought in Henan this year.

Originally, the national treasury was short of money, and there was another catastrophe in Henan. For the emperor, it was definitely a big crisis.But now, with these 4000 million catties of sweet potatoes as the base, why is the emperor worried?

The emperor immediately granted Lin Ruhai the title of Marquis of Jing'an, and at the beginning of the third generation, Xing Zhong was also promoted to the prefect of Boling, the fourth rank, and he was granted the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu.

The Lin family and the Xing family immediately became a sea of ​​joy.

The most direct one is manifested in the wedding and dowry of the second aunt of the Xing family.

The second aunt of the Xing family was married at the beginning of last year. Because of the national mourning and the auspicious day, the final wedding date could only be fixed in October.This day happened to be right after Xing Zhong was promoted to the prefect of Bolin!

The icing on the cake is easy.

Everyone saw that Xing Zhong was not only promoted to the prefect of Bolin, but also named Doctor Yinqing Guanglu. Now that he is going to marry his younger sister, of course he will give a rich makeup with the gift.

You know, the Xing family is a small family, even if they bring all the dowry gift from Niu Xiu, plus the dowry of 3000 taels prepared by the Xing family, it is only 36 carrying [-] to [-]% full.It looks like a lot from the outside, but it's really not enough to look at in front of such wealthy families as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes in Beijing.

You know, marrying a concubine from a family like the Jia family costs 5000 taels.

But now, with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and many relatives and friends adding makeup and accompanying gifts, the dowry of the second aunt of the Xing family has skyrocketed. Not to mention the full 36 liters in front, there are also 24 liters that are also full. A full sixty liters of dowry, symbolizing the start of a hundred acres of land, a pile of freshly painted fir furniture with bright red lacquer, and a string of boxes and cages behind it, affordable and decent.

The dowry land given by the Xing family to the second aunt of the Xing family must not have any good paddy fields, because good fields are rare.But the good fields are cultivated.With the recipe of earthworm soil, if you grow it for three to five years, even the third-class thin sandy land and hillsides can also grow good fields.As long as it is managed well, it will definitely not be bad in the future.

Although the relationship between the Jia family and the Xing family is already that way, the second aunt of the Xing family is Mrs. Xing's biological sister after all, and the Jia family will inevitably contribute a bit of makeup, and the Xue family also followed suit.

After returning from watching the ceremony with her mother, Xue Baochai was full of worries.

You know, at this time, Second Sister You's anniversary has passed half a year ago, and it has been almost two years since Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan visited Jia's house last time to paint a landscape painting of the Grand View Garden.How old are Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan?They are all 13 years old, and they will be fourteen after the new year.

Jia Baoyu is one year older than Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai is three years older than Jia Baoyu.At this time, Xue Baochai is already a 17-year-old girl, and she will be eighteen after the new year!

In this day and age, a 17-year-old can still be said to be in the prime of youth, that is, an old girl.After all, some people who move quickly, girls of seventeen or eighteen years old are already mothers.But what about Xue Baochai?Her golden marriage is still dangling from the ceiling!

Can Xue Baochai not be in a hurry?

But she just felt fried in her heart, and she still had to put on a look on her face: look at the second aunt of the Xing family, who only got engaged at the age of 23 and four, and she is also decent.I'm only seventeen, don't worry.

Whether she is in a hurry or not, anyone in the Grand View Garden who has eyes can basically tell.

As for Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have fallen in love again.

Although there is no quarrel on the surface, many people can see that the rift between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang has been put on the table:

Jiamu—look at Lin girl, she is also a serious marquis daughter, you don't want such a good marriage, but your eyes are tied to the Xue family and other merchants.What eyes!

Although Mrs. Wang didn't say anything on the surface, she seized an opportunity when she turned around and ransacked the Grand View Garden to chase away Qingwen and other cute girls.

Her attitude was also clearly stated: she just doesn't like these delicate and pretty little girls who are favored by Jia's mother!

Once the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opened fire, countless cannon fodder followed.

In previous years, Xing Xiuyan would definitely pay attention to Jia's family and prepare to watch a show, but this year, she really doesn't have time.

Because Lin Ruhai and Xing Zhong are not in the mood to pay attention to the Jia family at the moment,

Because they have something urgent to deal with right now.

As the heads of the Lin family and the Xing family, Lin Ruhai and Xing Zhong's performance also directly affected the family atmosphere of the Lin family and the Xing family.

Although the emperor attached great importance to sweet potatoes and hoped to spread them nationwide quickly, with Lin Ruhai's knowledge, how could he not know that the promotion of sweet potatoes requires policy preference?If you can't pay taxes, people will only plant a little in front of and behind their houses at most.But once the government order is tilted, then the thing that hurts farmers due to low grain prices will happen to sweet potatoes.

Lin Ruhai needs to make thorough preparations and discuss with the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for government decrees to favor this kind of matter, but the issue of cheap grain hurting farmers must be resolved as soon as possible.For ordinary people, it would be a disaster if they overcharged by three or five buckets, let alone overcharged thousands of catties.

The so-called court is such a place where everyone can speak freely in name, but in fact it is a place of intrigue.A person who has not thought through beforehand is not on his feet.

Lin Ruhai knew this very well.Under the influence of Lin Ruhai, Xing Zhong also knew it very well.

After all, the Xing family came from the bottom, and they have experienced it personally.

Specifically how to do it, the idea is also ready-made.After all, as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was clearly written in the Qimin Yaoshu that it would not be affordable to sell the produce directly from the field, and the common people should be encouraged to process the produce in the first place.With Lin Ruhai's erudite knowledge, of course he would not be ignorant of Qi Min's essential skills, nor would he be ignorant of the history of the Song Dynasty to know the origin of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Although Xing Xiuyan is half a child, she is only 14 years old after the new year, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything, Lin Ruhai and Xing Zhong are almost on the table, how can she not know?

Xing Xiuyan originally thought about when to bring out the sweet potato flour, but not long after the second aunt of the Xing family returned home to live in the same month, the Lin family took out the sweet potato flour first.

Xing Xiuyan thought about it, yes.

For ordinary people, even a single grain of rice is precious, such as clarified noodles and gluten-washed gluten.It's golden water shield and jade grains, they still think it's tasteless!

As long as you apply the method of clearing noodles and washing gluten, and try it twice, you will naturally get sweet potato flour.

This thing really doesn't have much technology.

But the sweet potato flour was made out, and problems followed.

Sweet potato flour cannot be rolled into noodles with water like flour.Using Jiangnan's unique way of processing rice noodles, the front is decent, but the back is not.

It was a mess.

The atmosphere of the Lin family and the Xing family immediately took a turn for the worse.

Not to mention that Lin Ruhai and Xing Zhong were frowning, even Lin Daiyu was listless for half a month.

Xing Xiuyan had no choice but to take out sweet potato vermicelli.

As for how she came up with this idea, Xing Xiuyan is also very bachelor - she dreamed of it!

well,

No problem.

Because of the limited amount of sweet potato flour, the last two did not make much. The Lin family made more than 200 catties, and the Xing family made more than 100 catties, but this is undoubtedly a good sign.

Sweet potato vermicelli is a staple!

What’s more, the crude fiber and washed residue from sweet potato flour can be fed to pigs or retting, so there will be no waste at all!

As for the taste of the sweet potato vermicelli, Lin Ruhai, who was so excited about the noodles, knew it.One or two halves of sweet potato vermicelli, served with spicy toppings, that's all their family consumed in one meal!

Lin Ruhai stroked his goatee and nodded in satisfaction: With this sweet potato vermicelli, this sweet potato can be regarded as a complete success.

Because it will be a snowy and icy day, and the sweet potatoes cannot be dried to wash the sweet potato flour, so Lin Ruhai and Xing Zhong had to suspend.However, with sweet potato vermicelli, both Lin Ruhai and Xing Zhong felt at ease.If it is not clear whether sweet potato vermicelli can be made in other seasons, Lin Ruhai would like to present the recipe of sweet potato vermicelli right now.

After Lin Ruhai and Xing Zhong felt at ease, they began to discuss the marriage of Luo Xing's third aunt.

In fact, during this period of time, there were quite a few matchmakers who came to Xing's house. Lin Ruhai helped to pick and choose, and finally delineated the approximate candidate.

The first one is a general who was transferred from the frontier to the Beijing camp the year before last. His surname is Shen. He is a third-rank military officer. He is 32 years old this year. He had two wives before him. The first one was born weak and died of illness within two years up, gone.The second one died three years ago, leaving behind a daughter who is four years younger than Xing Xiuyan and is nine years old this year.

The other is a general judge of a certain state. He is a civil servant of the sixth rank. He is 26 years old this year. He has a legitimate son and a concubine son.

There is also a judge from Fuzhou, Laizhou, Shandong Province. His surname is Bai, and his single name is Xu.He once had a fiancée who died before passing the marriage. He devoted himself to the imperial examination, but he never got engaged, so he has been procrastinating until today.

The third aunt of the Xing family looked at the three families, thought about it, and finally chose the third one.Anyway, it's the original, isn't it?

The author has something to say: The important criterion for the promotion of family status is: when the status is not high, there is no choice, but when the status becomes higher, there is room for choice.

It's that simple and rude.
