Red House Farm Stay

Chapter 27 Harvest

When sowing rice, Xiao Dongshan planted local rice seeds, and Ye Shanshan stayed at home to fiddle with her new rice.

After soaking according to the instructions, plant them separately in pots to germinate, and then transplant them into the ground when they grow strong, so as not to waste a single one.

Seeing her nervousness, Grandma Liu kept comforting her, "This food, if you treat it well, it will repay you. If you are so nervous, be careful to make it nervous too. How can this tension grow well, right? .”

Only then did Jia Zhuo realize that he was being too photogenic, so he quickly rubbed his cheeks, which turned out to be extremely stiff.Rubbing made herself laugh, yes, she was too nervous.

In fact, now that the identity issue has been resolved, there is no need to worry too much about other things.Taking a step back, if she didn't have these seeds, wouldn't she be alive?

Thinking of this, her mood eased down.She threw herself into Grandma Liu's arms and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I understand."

"Such a large piece of land, planting so many seedlings, no matter how expensive they are, they can be harvested, so don't worry." Grandma Liu patted Jia Zhuo's back.

Both Xiaodongshan and the original land were sown, and the number of birds in Xiaodongshan was also much less, and the day laborers hired were also very meticulous, which made everyone in the Wang family heave a sigh of relief.

After Jia Zhuo planted the rice, he started to grow strawberries again. As soon as he heard that it was edible, Qing’er was very motivated. He watched it grow leaves and bloom every day, and wanted to know how good the red fruit was as Jia Zhuo said. eat.

When all the plants that should be planted in the field are planted, it is a day-to-day labor. When Jia Zhuo first came, he still had some slight cough and dizziness. He didn't take any medicine, so he recovered on his own.

The Ninth Young Master at the other end never went south. I don't know if it was because of the colorful bell pepper that he stayed.Jia Zhuo vaguely heard the news that Ban Erde had come, saying that the ninth son bought a piece of wasteland and built a fence to keep people from looking at it.

Jia Zhuo just laughed when he heard the news. It seems that what she said, the young master has heard it in his heart.

Occasionally, he would receive a message from Ban'er, asking one or two questions about the cultivation of sweet peppers. Jia Zhuo couldn't help but asked, "Does this Ninth Young Master come to see you often?"

"Where do you think the wasteland he bought is?" Ban'er smiled wryly.

"Where?" Jia Zhuo thought about it after asking, and then his eyes widened, "No way."

Ban'er said helplessly: "He bought the other slope of Xiaodong Mountain, and built a house at the foot of the mountain. Turn one end down to our field, and walk through the other end to the fruit tree married by the county magistrate's wife." Woods."

This piece of land was really well chosen, Jia Zhuo smiled and showed his small teeth, "He stays here to farm, won't he go on a study tour?"

Ban'er shrugged, "It seems so, even the wells have been dug, and the melon sheds and grape trellises have been set up. They say they want to paint farmhouse pastoral in summer."

"Water well, you are really a rich man." Jia Zhuo said enviously. You know, digging a water well is not cheap at this time.In many villages, one well is drilled for everyone to use.Only wealthy families can dig a well by themselves.

"We can draw water from the pond, but they can't help it. Ninth Young Master also allowed us to fetch water from them to eat. They are nice people, but they talk a lot." Ban'er went to the backyard to look around and saw a The green and colorful sweet peppers sighed again. No one thought that Jia Zhuo's identity problem would be solved because of such a batch of small things.

"This rice seed grows quite fast." In the backyard, a few solitary rice seeds stand out, and they are also the object of concern of the whole family. They all want to know what is different about this kind of rice.

"It will be harvested in July, and we will know then. By the way, how many corn seeds are there at home?" Jia Zhuo asked.

"There are still some, less than two acres of land, maybe half an acre of land on each side." Ban'er has already seen it.

"That's okay. Half an acre is half an acre. The land is not fertile enough, so it's better to raise it." Jia Zhuo figured out that the corn seeds have been normal since they germinated. They should be harvestable and how to sell them. It's better to go.

"By the way, Mr. Jiu is very curious about the corn we planted. I asked him what it was several times. I told him it was a kind of fruit. He didn't seem to believe it."

Jia Zhuo's eyes lit up, how could she forget about the ninth son.Smiling and squinting, "I'll ask next time, just tell him, and give him a basket to try something new when I pick it up."

"Okay." Seeing Jia Zhuo smiled, Ban'er felt better. After working hard for several months, it was rare for him to take a day off. He always felt that rest would make him feel empty.Seeing her smile now, his empty heart seemed to be filled instantly. He didn't know how to describe this kind of satisfaction.All he knew was that he hoped that this beauty would last forever.

In June, the corn was ripe, and the Wang family was so busy that one person wanted to break it into two for use. The corn was harvested, and they had to rush to plant the next crop.The harvested corn cobs were pulled back day and night with a donkey cart, and all the empty houses in the backyard were cleared up. When they were weighed, one mu of land was harvested [-] kilograms, and the sum of two mu of land was [-] kilograms.

After harvesting almost two thousand catties of corn that could be eaten as food, Wang Gou'er's family was shocked. The previous predictions were predictions, and only when they were harvested could they be taken seriously.Now that the warehouse is full of corn, it can no longer be true.

Besides, there is still a stubble that has already been planted. Doesn't it mean that an acre of corn can produce two thousand catties a year?How much is two acres and how much is three acres of land? In the end, the whole family was speechless.

Jia Zhuo also looked shocked, saying that she hadn't thought of it either.In fact, she really didn't think of it, and she was always worried about the problem of not being able to save the seeds.But I didn't expect that it could actually be planted.

It's just that the taste is different, and the taste of each kind of corn is somewhat reduced.For example, fruit corn should be crunchy and sweet, but now it tastes hard.Waxy corn is not so soft and waxy, it seems that there is a problem of degradation.

However, no matter how degraded the taste is, it is still corn, and it is king if it can be grown.

"Whether you think about it or not, you brought this thing to our house. You are a great hero." Grandma Liu put her arms around Jia Zhuo and rubbed her back. With this thing, don't say goodbye. Yes, at least the whole family will no longer go hungry.

"Pick out the best seeds and save them. Next time, we can't have enough seeds." Wang Gou'er finished his calculations, and walked away eagerly, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"I'll pick out two baskets and send them to Master Ninth." Ban'er also jumped up, thinking of agreeing to Jia Zhuo.

"Miss Zhuo, can we let go and eat this time?" Qing'er, who licked her fingertips, couldn't help it anymore.

"Let grandma cut some meat. Let's break the corn into pieces and burn it to eat." Jia Zhuo went to see Grandma Liu coquettishly.

"I'll go, get some more wine, and send some to the hired workers. It's been hard work these days." Mrs. Liu stood up, her eyes full of smiles.With the food in the backyard, the back is straight.

Ban'er's two baskets of corn were also sent to Jiugongzi's other courtyard, and he happened to be away, so Ban'er, at the begging of the cook, demonstrated how to boil corn cobs in white water.

"That's it?" The cook rubbed his chin and couldn't believe it. It was never before that something boiled in plain water was delivered to Jiu Gongzi's dining table.

"Well, that's it. It can be roasted, sprinkled with chili noodles, or ground into powder and noodles to make pasta. However, for the first time to eat, boiled water is just right." Ban'er left with an empty basket , only to find that the steward stuffed several watermelons in his basket.

"I grow it at home, take it home to eat." The steward smiled honestly, thanked Baner, picked up the basket and left.

When Ban'er came back, Qing'er saw the watermelon, quickly cut one up, took a big bite, and squinted his eyes for joy.Jia Zhuo held the melon, took a bite, and slid down his throat, feeling so comfortable that he wished he could let out a long sigh.

It's the first time I've eaten watermelon here, it's sandy and sweet, if it can be chilled for a while, it will be even more enjoyable.

"The rest will be given two to Leng's family, one to the village head's family, and one to the family uncle's family." There were only six melons in total, and more than half were given away by Grandma Liu.

"Let's go now." Ban'er delivered melons and came back in a while.

"People from the Liu family are at the village chief's house, and they say they want to take the land out." After wiping off his sweat, he ate the melons.

"What's the matter, didn't you say that you can't get through?" Mrs. Liu asked after hearing this.

Liu's family means Liu Xiaoyao's family. The eldest son of their family was convicted, and according to the law, the death penalty must be reported to the imperial court for a decision by the Ministry of Punishment.Now that the case files have been sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there is still one chance to overturn the case. If it is not overturned this time, it will have to wait for Qiu Hou to execute him.

"Well, I heard that Boss Liu's boss felt a little sorry, and pointed out a way for them, so the Liu family wanted to pawn the land to open up the way." Ban'er ate the melon in a few mouthfuls, and took another piece.

"Hey, this case can also be overturned." Liu didn't believe it.

"It can't be reversed. Probably, I want to change the sentence. Exile for thousands of miles is better than beheading, and one life will always be saved." Ban'er thought for a while and guessed.

"Hey, I hope the Bodhisattva will bless you. I, an outsider, will not bear the thought of being cut off after autumn, let alone their parents. If Liu Laoyao has spirits underground, he should stand up and bless his grandson, you After being a villain all your life, it's hard to turn into a ghost and change your temper, show your temper."

Grandma Liu pointed at the air, as if she was really talking to Lao Yao Liu.

"Grandma, don't scare us." Qing'er shrank away from Jia Zhuo, resting her head on Jia Zhuo's shoulder, terrified.

"Don't worry, with grandma here, no evil spirits will be able to enter the door." Grandma Liu smiled and stroked Qing'er's hair.

Ban'er and Jia Zhuo looked at each other, and when the adults had rested, they ran to the backyard and squatted down.The two people were head to head, whispering.

"Tell me, does Boss Liu really not know that he was tricked by someone?" Jia Zhuo didn't understand, Boss Liu didn't look stupid either.After being imprisoned for so long, I really don't want to understand?

"Is he being tricked by someone? It's true that he wants to kill someone. It's just that the murderer is hateful, and so is the provocative one. I just don't know what method he used to provoke him. It can surprise Boss Liu at all There is a connection here." Ban'er didn't understand even more.

Jia Zhuo thought to himself, it is probably impossible to imagine that he is a farmer's child, and there is no need to see blood when killing people in the mansion gate.While talking and laughing, it is not impossible to be wiped out.
