Farmer's little scholar

Everyone thought about it, maybe it is really like what Mo Xiucai said, this method of getting rid of pests is covered.

"Then I have another question." A farmer, with a few patches of coarse cloth on his body, asked anxiously.

"You said."

"Then how to increase crop yield?"

The topic changed a little too fast, Mo Qiyu was organizing his words in his mind, and he hadn't started talking yet.

But the man asked anxiously: "What is there to say about Mo Xiucai?" The land at home could not support the whole family at all, and they used to be hungry and full.The children in the family are all pale and thin, and they haven't really had enough to eat.

How can he not be tempted by hearing that it can increase the crop yield in the field?This made him look forward to it more than to know the way of pest infestation.

But seeing that Mo Qiyu was silent, he became impatient.I was afraid that Mo Qiyu would not want to reveal this idea again.

Seeing this, Mo Qiyu could guess what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, big brother. I'm just thinking about how to express it so that everyone can understand it better."

The village head glared at the man dissatisfied, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mo Xiucai has studied, and knows that no one can be trusted. And since he has brought it up in front of everyone, he will definitely not break his promise and lose weight. Why are you so anxious?" ?”

Mo Qiyu couldn't help giving the village chief a thumbs up.No wonder I can be the village head.It looked like he was scolding the big brother who spoke, but why didn't he beat himself?

Mo Qiyu said a little funny: "People need to eat to supplement nutrition and gain physical strength. Then plants grow through rain, sunlight and nutrients from the land. So we must first ensure that our crops are nutritious In the land. So how do you make the land nutritious?"

He asked a question, let everyone think about it first, and then said gently and politely: "I learned from a miscellaneous book that it turns out that useless rice husks are rotten and leaves, and a catty of animal manure is accumulated in the pool and then washed in the pot. Water, rice washing swill, etc. are soaked. After a long time, it will rot and become fat. It can be used in crops to absorb it and improve the growth of crops.”

After Mo Qiyu finished speaking, there was a long silence, and then someone cried: "I don't know if it will be useful. But what Mo Xiucai said makes sense. My family must try it, otherwise this year will be the same as previous years." What's the difference? They still don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes."

After listening to it, the villagers all planned to give it a try, and they believed in Mo Qiyu who had read the book.

"If it is really useful, I will kowtow to thank Mo Xiucai." I don't know who said such a sentence, and everyone began to express their opinions frantically.

Mo Qiyu opened his eyes in horror, kowtowed or something, which made me feel a little bit embarrassed.

Seeing that the situation was fine and that his nephew was not in trouble, Mo Nian pretended not to see Mo Qiyu's eyes asking for help, and smiled at Mo Qiyu's distress.For the first time, Mo Nian felt that he was still so bad.

After the scene was controlled by the village head again, Mo Qiyu briefly talked about the usage and dosage, and the consequences of excessive dosage, and so on.The last thing he said was dry mouth.

He couldn't help but be grateful for the experience in the restaurant, otherwise he felt that he must be dumb at this moment.

Fortunately, the moment before he became dumb, Lin Xu brought warm water to moisten his throat.In the end, people from a village sat cross-legged to discuss where to dig a big hole in the village, how to fertilize it, and how many people each family can provide.

They all forgot to eat, and in the end, the village chief Fu Lang brought the women in the village, and Fu Lang cooked a big pot of rice.

Then the whole village went up the mountain to cut trees, mow grass and pick dead leaves to make plant ash.

When he got home at dusk, Mo Qiyu sat slumped on a chair, not wanting to move at all.Lin Xu wiped his face and hands with distress, and even planned to wash his feet.

Mo Qiyu stopped him, shook his head, but did not speak.He just looked at Lin Xu pitifully.Lin Xu quickly helped him into the room, removed his clothes, and let him lie down and sleep well.

As soon as they arrived at the main room, they heard Cui yelling in surprise: "Axu, Aming, come quickly, come and see."

Cui happily held the soap in her hand and showed off, "Look, look, am I good?" According to what Mo Qiyu said, Cui made soap by himself today, naturally excited like a child.

"Amazing, Aunt Cui, you are amazing." Lin Ming nodded, boasting earnestly and spared no effort.

Lin Xu looked at the smoother and more delicate bar of soap than yesterday, and also praised: "Aniang's making is very beautiful."

"Really? I think so too. I'm going to wash my hands." Cui smiled and washed her hands with the soap she made.

Only then did Lin Xu realize that it was no wonder Cui didn't even look at the tea leaves when they were drying them with a grate at noon.The one who only cared about weeding and digging the roses wanted to use the soap he made a few more times.

But found out the truth.

Seeing Lin Xu looking at her all the time, Cui thought about the tea leaves and asked, "Can the tea leaves be taken back after drying?"

"Yeah, it's been taken away, it's placed in the kitchen. It needs to be dried in the sun tomorrow." Lin Xu smiled happily when he thought of the tea he picked with Mo Qiyu.

"Hey, are you smiling so happily?" Cui joked, "You listen to my son's words too seriously. Be careful of being bullied by him in the future, and I won't care about you then." Cui taught him: " Sometimes, you don’t have to do a good job, but you do a good job. After a long time, he will only feel that he should. If you make a mistake for him, he can come over and teach you again. How can anyone think of you like this, Ah Yu What I said, I wish I could recite everything verbatim. You are easy to be bullied."

"No, Brother Yu won't bully me. He's fine." Although Lin Xu blushed at Cui's words, she still protected her husband.

"Oh, you are hopeless." Cui turned to Lin Ming and said, "You must not be controlled by your husband in the future. Don't learn from your second brother."

Lin Ming didn't understand very well, but he has been listening to Cui's words recently, and he is very close to Cui's.Then he replied softly: "Well, I won't."

Lin Xu couldn't hold back his laughter because of the commotion.

Cui also pinched Lin Ming's face with a smile, raised her head and asked Lin Xu, "Where's Ah Yu?"

"Brother Yu is too tired, he has already lay down in the house."

"Then he won't have the chance to see my exquisite soap." Looking at her white hands, Cui felt that the soap she made was better than Mo Qiyu's.

Lin Xu looked at the soap, and suddenly noticed something, and said, "Mother, this soap is so useful. Why don't we make more and sell it?"

Cui was stunned for a moment, she only thought that it was easy to use and could make her skin smooth, but she never thought of using it to make money.Anyway, the steps are not complicated, and there is no difficulty in doing it. The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.

Unable to hold back, he took Lin Xu's hands and said excitedly, "What about my god? Axu, you are really the lucky star of my Mo family." This idea is really good.

Thinking of making money with this, both Lin Xu and Cui were happy, as if they had already got the money.

The two of them hurried to prepare plant ash and make more beautiful molds with Lin Ming.

However, Mo Qiyu's remarks on pest control and retting caused an uproar in the village. Basically, every household was discussing whether this method is really useful. Everyone started to make plant ash. People who used to bathe in cold water also soaked today. warm bath.

It was late at night, except for the children at the village head's house, the village head, the village head's husband, his father and two sons and daughters-in-law were all gathered around the round table in the main room.

"If this method is really useful, then Mo Xiucai is the lucky star of our village." The gray-haired old man said excitedly, patting the table.

The village Mo Tong also nodded and said, "Isn't it? I just don't know how effective it will be?"

"Tomorrow, I will use this method to kill the bugs first, and the effect will be seen in a few days." With an expectant smile on his face, the old man asked again: "Then Mo Xiucai can say, how many days will it take?"

"Three days." Seeing that it was really late, the village chief said, "Father, we will divide the work tonight. Just follow this method tomorrow. You should go to bed early, it's getting late."

"Knowing this, how can an old man like me sleep? Sigh, if we knew about it a few years ago, our life would be better than it is now." The old man was still a little emotional.

A young woman dressed as a woman next to her said, "Grandfather, why do you think Mo Xiucai said this now? Could it be that he wanted to cover it up so that no one would know?"

"Nonsense." The old man said angrily, "Why do you have such suspicions? People told you that it was good intentions, but you didn't know how to thank you, but instead had such dark speculations, it's simply wolf-hearted."

"Grandpa, don't be angry." The young man comforted the old man, then he stared at the woman beside him and said, "Can you shut up, you have room to speak?"

The woman was just sobbing and didn't dare to speak.

Mo Tong was also a little speechless, and said, "I guess, there are quite a few people in the village who think so."

The old man said angrily: "If anyone dares to say this to Mo Xiucai, we will open an ancestral hall and punish them properly."

"If everyone is like this, there is no guarantee that Mo Xiucai's heart will not be chilled. I am afraid that something good will happen in the future, so I dare not say it."

"Who says it's not?" Mo Tong sighed.

Mo Xiong interjected: "A while ago, weren't everyone afraid that wolves would enter the village and set up traps on the mountain? Mo Xiucai also went, and when he came back, everyone said that Mo Xiucai would not continue the imperial examination. Many people regretted it. I guess Mo Xiucai had his heart on it before. It's only in the sage books, so it's only mentioned now."

Everyone nodded, thinking that it was very likely that Mo Xiucai put his mind on the crops and came up with the idea.

"Mo Xiu is a good person. If you have a way, don't hide it and give it back to the village." Now the old man is full of liking for Mo Qiyu.

Speaking of this, the village husband said: "Father, Brother Tong. If it is useful, our family should prepare something to send to Mo Xiucai's family?"

"I want it."

Everyone talked about what to give, you and I talked for a long time before we dispersed to rest. ?
