Farmer's little scholar

I didn't chat much with Mrs. Cui, and hurried to work in the town.Alas, it is a pity that the day is not yet clear.

Lin Xu got up and saw that it was already daylight, and the bed next to him had already lost its temperature.Biting her lip, she was a little shy, not knowing how to be teased.

He remembered that he hadn't made breakfast yet, so he hurriedly lifted the quilt, dressed and washed.

When they came to the front yard, they saw Lin Ming was sweeping the floor, while Cui was loosening the soil for the roses.

When Cui heard the movement, she turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Lin Xu lowered his head, looked at his toes, and murmured, "Aniang, don't make fun of me."

Cui laughed and said, "Hurry up and eat. The food is in the pot for you. Your brother and I have eaten it."

When Lin Ming saw Lin Xu, he ran towards him, opened his eyes wide, nodded to Lin Xu, and said, "Second brother, go eat quickly. Aunt Cui's fried pork with beans is so delicious."

"How do you know how to eat?" Lin Xu dissatisfied: "I don't know how to come to the room and wake me up?" It's almost noon now, which family's husband and wife can sleep till now?Thinking about it, Lin Xu felt a little ashamed.

Not only did she not cook for her husband, but she also asked her mother-in-law to cook for herself.It's not surprising that this husband was dismissed if he did this.

Lin Ming pouted, and said, "But, it was Aunt Cui who didn't let me wake you up. She said that you can give me a little nephew only after you rested."

After listening to Lin Ming's words, Lin Xu's cheeks flushed, and even the tips of his ears were pink and tender.

"You, you, children, don't talk nonsense." Lin Xu ran away in a hurry, it was too embarrassing.

Lin Ming scratched his head in confusion, and continued to sweep the floor silently.

After finishing the lecture, Mo Qiyu walked slowly on the path home.Recently, more and more people are listening to books. Based on the amount of copper coins today, I have roughly calculated in my heart that I can probably get nearly 20 taels of silver this May with this novel martial arts story.

There is also the share that Boss Qi gave after the book was published, and now it seems that there are at least 15 taels of silver.

A few days ago, Mo Qiyu would not have worried about his future life, but now he no longer wants to just work for others to earn this money.So after finding tea trees, he wanted to plant them on a large scale, and then make and sell tea.Be a real farmer and live up to this pastoral life.

Although I think so, it is a big problem to have no money to buy land.Not to mention that one mu of good land costs 10 taels of silver, but that the sandy land also costs 5 taels. If you want to buy a sandy land of 100 mu, you can't get it without 500 taels of silver.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Mo Qiyu was still a little depressed. He wanted to rebuild a small farmyard and also wanted to buy a 100-acre land to be his own landlord.

Having an idea but no start-up capital is also quite bald.

"Mo Xiucai is back?" Passing by the crop field in the village, someone happened to manually "kill" the insects, and asked enthusiastically when he reached the edge of the field.

Mo Qiyu came back to his senses, looked at this unfamiliar fellow villager, and politely replied: "Well, I just arrived at the entrance of the village." He rolled his eyes again, and saw that the crops that had been plagued by insects had many holes in the leaves, so he frowned and said: "Is the pest infestation so serious this year?"

"Oh, it's like this every year." The man looked at the sky and said, "God, it can't rain. If it rains at this time, where will the harvest be?"

Mo Qiyu didn't pay much attention to the crops in the past, even if he didn't pay much attention to it before.But now, after careful observation, I feel that the pest damage is much more serious than I thought.

In the whole village, everyone is in the field, either strangling the bugs or pulling the weeds.All day long, he worked hard without having enough to eat.

Mo Qiyu knew that the plant ash must be useful, but there was no evidence to directly say it, and he couldn't produce any book that recorded the usefulness of the plant ash, so he thought not to be too pretentious and try it in his own home first.But now that he looked around, he felt that it was better to say it earlier, so that everyone would not lose more.

But Mo Qiyu didn't intend to say that he tried it at home, Mo Nian's second uncle also told him.If the pest damage is reduced, and someone suspects that he has a solution but keeps it hidden for so many years and does not say it, then he will suffer a lot.

What I thought about before, I tried it and then told the villagers, or forget it, people's hearts are far away.Fortunately, no ash had been scattered in his field, and his second uncle probably only started picking dead branches and leaves yesterday afternoon, so it made sense to light a fire for himself.

So he stretched his brows and said to the man, "Brother, I have a method to reduce the pest damage, and I will trouble you to inform the village chief. I will explain it clearly in the wheat field."

After speaking, without waiting for the man to respond, Mo Qiyu went to his second uncle's field first.

But there were only his second aunt and Mo Qiong's wife Fang Pingping in the field.

Mo Qiyu saw it from a long distance away, but he still had to bite the bullet and go up.Fortunately, his second aunt was a shrewd person. When she saw her, she stopped what she was doing and came over with a smile to see if there was anything wrong.

Mo Qiyu first informed her that he would go to the wheat field to tell everyone the effect of plant ash. He believed that with Wu's intelligence, he would naturally understand his hidden meaning.

Knowing the whereabouts of his second uncle from Wu's, Mo Qiyu hurried over to see if he could be notified of the matter in advance.

It was originally agreed that it would be a few days later, but Mo Qiyu changed his mind temporarily, which made him very flustered.

He hurriedly explained to Mo Nian, sweating profusely.Mo Nian had no objection, but seeing Mo Qiyu's panting appearance, he frowned and said to Mo Qiong, "Go and keep three of these six bundles of firewood at home, and send the other three bundles to your aunt. Tell them about this too, is it clear?"

"I know, I know." Mo Qiong didn't comment much, and hurriedly responded to his father's words.Push the cart and leave.

"Let's go, I'll go to the wheat field with you." Mo Nian waved his big hand solemnly, and headed towards the wheat field.

Mo Qiyu sent people to find the village chief, and when he summoned everyone, it was only half an hour before the villagers had lunch. Some families also went home early to cook, and even if they didn't, everyone would know by roaring in the field. .

So when Mo Qiyu and Mo Nian arrived, everyone was basically there.

Mo Qiyu is the only scholar in the village, and everyone has a good impression of scholars, and generally respects and envies them.I also heard that Mo Xiu has a way to cure the pest problem.The pest problem has really been a big problem for everyone.

Let alone the world, when the harvest comes, there will still be a lot of losses.So everyone was naturally shocked and excited and rushed over to hear how to prevent and control this pest.

Looking at the eager eyes of everyone, Mo Qiyu lowered his eyes and licked the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the slightly elevated hills.

Along the way, everyone stared at him closely, and someone asked, "Mo Xiucai, do you really know how to cure this pest problem?"

"Of course." Mo Qiyu smiled confidently and said, "Be quiet, everyone, and I'll talk to you about how to reduce the pest damage and increase the yield of crops."

After listening to what Mo Qiyu said, the whole place was boiling again.This Mo Xiucai not only has a way to control pests, but also a way to increase crop yield?

Who can remain calm after saying this?Even Mo Nian opened his mouth slightly, his serious face full of surprise.

If the method is really useful, then this nephew of himself is amazing.

Mo Qiyu nodded slightly to the village chief.

The village chief immediately came back to his senses, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet first, let's listen to Mo Xiucai's method to get rid of the pests. And there is another thing," Murakami and Mo Qiyu stood together, scanning the crowd and said : "What we are talking about today can only be known by our own village. If it spreads, it will violate the family rules and be removed from the family tree. Do you understand?"

Mo Qiyu was taken aback, is this still a secret?Planning to take the whole village to keep this secret?As soon as Mo Qiyu rolled his eyes, he knew that this was the thinking of the ancients. They were stubborn and old-fashioned, and they would not share some money-making or useful methods they had.

Naturally, Mo Qiyu would not interfere with the words of the village chief, nor would he be a holy father or something.But he felt that this was a difficult secret to keep.

First of all, what you have done in your field can be known by people in neighboring villages or your fields next to each other if you take a serious look.The second thing is that the husbands and daughters-in-law in the village have a good relationship with their natal families, so there is no good thing not to tell them.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Mo Qiyu stepped forward and said with a friendly smile: "I read in a book that it is said to put plant ash in water and let it stand overnight, then pour the water on the crops or Burying the plant ash near the roots of the crops can effectively prevent the problem of pests.” He said guiltily: “I didn’t pay much attention to the things in the field before, so I only tell everyone about this method now.”

"However, this is what is recorded in the book. Whether it is useful or not, everyone has to try it."

The discussion started again, and Mo Qiyu didn't stop them, but only let them ask questions if they had any questions.

See them just discussing and don't ask him any questions.

Mo Nian spoke for his nephew: "My nephew just read it from a book, whether it is useful or not is another matter. You have to go back and try it yourself."

Hearing Mo Nian's words, everyone fell silent, and someone asked: "Mo Xiucai, since it was written in a book, why don't other scholars know about it?"

Well, Mo Qiyu thought for a while and said: "I read this in an ancient book when I was a child. I didn't understand it very well at the time, and I don't remember the title of the book now. It's hard for me why others don't know. I I’m afraid I can only answer one thing, it’s just a coincidence that I can see that book. Moreover,” he said after a pause, “we only live in this land, maybe other places have already known this method, but it’s just not It's just spreading." Just in time, the village's remarks that the method cannot be spread made me also explain why others didn't know why this method was rounded up. ?
