Married a scholar

▍No matter how good his heart is, he can't control so many people.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze sat down at the main seats, looked at them with some strangeness, "I didn't know who it was, but it turned out to be you two." Zhao Tao and Meng Feng were the only few in Shangyao Village Lazy Two.

One who is good at stealing, and one who likes flirting since childhood, a good-looking little brother and lady in the village, the original owner has also been flirting with her.

His family hired people to work in the past two or three months. These two people originally came to sign up, but both the village head and the fourth and fifth cousins ​​knew the virtues of the two of them, so they did not agree. .

After that, the two of them didn't get entangled too much. He thought there was nothing wrong, but he didn't expect to be waiting here.

Xia Wenze asked, "You were also the ones who dug potatoes last time?"

Even if Zhao Tao and Meng Feng were tied up immobilized, their aura did not lose the slightest bit. They simply smashed the broken pot to the extreme.

"Yes, it's us."

"What do you think?"

Oki Omori stepped forward and kicked the two of them each, "It's reasonable to steal things."

"Yes."

Meng Yining looked the two of them up and down, "Only you two dug potatoes?"

Zhao Tao and Meng Feng's eyes wandered.

Xia Wenze frowned, "Is there anyone else?"

The two were full of momentum just now, but now their mouths are tighter than the other.

Meng Yining told He Fangliang: "Fang Liang, go and call the village chief." No matter how many people did this, it must not be quietly put down like this.

The faces of Zhao Tao and the others turned pale instantly, and Meng Feng quickly opened his mouth to beg for mercy, "Brother Ning, Wen Ze, it's our fault, we're just delusional, don't tell the village chief."

Zhao Tao nodded quickly on the side, "Yes, yes, we are just fascinated by ghosts for a while."

Meng Yining waved He Fangliang to go quickly, "No matter what your reasons are, you must tell the village chief about this matter." Could it be that the two of them will settle it privately or just forget it?

The faces of the two were pale when they heard the words, and Meng Yining, who was looking up, was already full of resentment.

Meng Yi would rather ignore the eyes of the two of them, and looked at them thoughtfully.

Xia Wenze asked, "Ning'er?"

Meng Yining said softly, "I'll tell you later."

When the village chief came to take the two of them away, Meng Yining and Xia Wenze returned to their yard. Meng Yining lay in Xia Wenze's arms and said softly, "If there is no rain in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to harvest food."

Xia Wenze also knew that, and was also worried, "I will go and talk to my uncle about digging more wells."

Meng Yining was not worried about this. He also thought about Zhao Tao and Meng Feng digging potatoes secretly, "I was worried about the reaction of the villagers." To be precise, it was the reaction after the autumn harvest.

Xia Wenze didn't react for a while, "What's the reaction?"

In the dark room, the sound of the fan blades turning was accompanied by the croaking of insects and frogs outside the window, and the sound of night owls from time to time. Meng Yining's voice sounded a little cold, "If it doesn't rain until the autumn harvest, it will At that time, everyone didn't say that there was no harvest, but it would definitely be even less than in previous years. Let alone paying taxes, it would be difficult to support a family. But at this time, if our harvest is not to mention a reduction in production, it will be better than in previous years. , or even the potatoes are unbelievably high-yield, guess what everyone's reaction will be?"

What's the reaction?If they are pure-minded, they will only envy them, and then they will plant potatoes with them after the autumn harvest, and use their methods to plant autumn rice and autumn wheat.And if they have malicious intentions, they will be jealous of them, and even let everyone attack them and blame them.

Blame them for having such a good method and such good food, but not telling them.

Without hearing Xia Wenze's voice, Meng Yining knew that he must have thought of it because of his cleverness. "Even if we deliberately concealed it after the autumn harvest, of course, we didn't intend to conceal it, but Zhao Tao and Meng Feng will definitely resent us and provoke us."

Xia Wenze's hand on his waist gently patted behind him, and his voice became softer, "It's okay, I'll talk to Uncle Si about it tomorrow."

"Ok?"

Xia Wenze's voice replied warmly. His experience told him that not all people are good people. After so much experience, he is not stingy to use the greatest malice to speculate on people's hearts. It's just that he didn't think of this level before. Now Ning'er mentioned, He certainly won't let some people make trouble for them.

"We never thought of hiding the matter of potatoes and seedlings, but you and I didn't know the specifics of this method and this food at the beginning, so we had to use our own fields as an experiment. If it succeeds, we can provide everyone with a good yield increase The method, a more productive and durable food, if it doesn’t work, it’s only your loss and I won’t hurt anyone else.”

Xia Wenze said softly: "We have never concealed the matter of raising seedlings from anyone, but most of them are just looking at the show, and have not seriously thought about it. There is also the matter of potatoes, a new food, how dare we tell them so easily? Others? Even we ourselves don't know what the outcome will be, do we? The fourth uncle and the clan will help us."

Meng Yining nodded and yawned, "That's good. When you talk to Sibo, tell him that after the autumn harvest, we will use part of the potatoes and rice as seeds, but it's not free. If you want to plant, we will ask for [-]% of the harvest after the harvest." This matter was mentioned earlier, but this time it has to be put on the surface.

"I know, go to sleep." Xia Wenze patted him gently.

"Ah."

The next day, after breakfast, Xia Wenze took He Fangliang to the village chief.

Taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, Meng Yining took He Fangyi and Brother Xing to the field.Potatoes, wheat and rice were irrigated with nutrient solution afterwards, which saved a lot of time for maturation and increased the survival rate.

Since Zhao Tao and Meng Feng went to secretly dig potatoes one after another, they should be ready to be harvested, so he had to go and see.In order not to be so eye-catching, rice and wheat have only been watered with nutrient solution once, so they have not yet reached maturity.

"Master, every potato is as big as a fist." Brother Yi dug out a nest of potatoes with a hoe, picked it up and handed it to Meng Yining, his eyes full of excitement. "Master, this potato will surely yield a lot this year."

A nest of potatoes weighs more than ten catties, and their family has planted several acres of potatoes this year.

Meng Yining shook the potatoes in his hand, knowing what to do, "Let's find someone to dig up the potatoes tomorrow."

"Yes."

Meng Yining went to look at the fish in the fishpond again, "Bring some fish to eat at night."

"Okay, young master." Brother Xing replied from the side.

A few people walked around and went back. Meng Yining went back to the backyard to contact his friend and told him about the fish here. If the drought continued, the fish pond would definitely not be able to continue to raise fish. It's not for selling money, and the fish has grown up now, so I have to find a way to trade the fish to my brother and Zhan Youxi.

There are also harvested potatoes. After this crop is harvested, another crop can be planted around August, and some of this crop of potatoes have to be kept for seeding, but his family planted a lot of potatoes this year, and because he used Because of the irrigation of nutrient solution, the potatoes grow bigger and more.Even if they were kept as seeds, there are still many of them.

He kept some for himself, and he originally planned to trade the remaining potatoes to his brother and Zhan Youxi.

But if it doesn't rain until the autumn harvest this year, one can imagine how difficult life will be for the people this winter, and brother.

Meng Yining couldn't help but sigh, the land was still too little.

When Xia Wenze came back, he saw Meng Yining frowning, "What's wrong?"

Meng Yining handed him a cup of herbal tea and told him his plan, "I won't trade the potatoes to my brother. I will buy grain from Meng Chongjue and trade them. We will pull the remaining potatoes after the autumn harvest. Go to the border."

Speaking of this, Meng Yining said again: "By the way, I have to go to Daqing Mountain tomorrow, and I have to look for the hemostatic vine. Now, taking advantage of everyone's free time, I will get some more hemostatic vines and scrape the powder for storage." , take them with you when you go to the border."

Under a severe drought, there must be a catastrophe, and under a catastrophe, it is better than a military calamity.

This winter at the border is likely to be more difficult than in previous years, so he needs to be well prepared.

Xia Wenze nodded, "It's a long way to the border, and we are still carrying food, so we really have to leave earlier."

"That's right." Meng Yining didn't expect to go to the border so early, why would he have to wait until winter is approaching to go, when the preparations here are almost ready, just watch what matters.But right now it looks like it won't work.

It's already June now, and the weather on the plane trader has been sunny for a week in a row. It's hard to wait for another rain until the autumn harvest.

"What does the village chief say?" Meng Yining remembered to ask him.

Xia Wenze smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sibo will stand by us." The village head is not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong, so he understands the key to this matter.

"That's good." Meng Yining nodded, "I went to see the potatoes and they are ready to be harvested. Tomorrow, I will have the potatoes dug up, and then I will ask the village chief to register the list of people who are willing to grow potatoes with me. So that the potato seeds can be saved.” As for the other villages, he has no control over them.

No matter how good his heart is, he can't control so many people.

Those are the potatoes, and they were left for the people in the village, so he could only keep some and report them to the yamen.

Promoting potatoes is definitely not something that a brat like him can do.

"Row."

For three days in a row, the matter of Meng Yining's family digging potatoes became the talk of Shangyao Village.

Many people knew that Zhao Tao and Meng Feng were caught digging potatoes secretly, and many people were very curious about what was so strange about these potatoes.

Although some people knew about this new food called potatoes at the beginning, everyone didn't know about it, and naturally they didn't learn more about it. Many people still laughed at Meng Yining and the others for ruining the fields, and started ruining those good ones. ground.

Therefore, many people hurried over to watch the excitement, wanting to know what kind of object this potato is.

And this thing can be harvested in June, which makes many people curious.
