Early spring in the world [farming]

Su Beigu found the Chen family, the tenants of the Su family. Chen Ahu's family was working in the field, and only his wife was preparing food in the kitchen.

Chen's wife thought that Su Bei Gu was here to take back the land on behalf of the Su family, so she took her around the field under the Su family's name anxiously, and told her about the rent that should be paid for the hard work of the family all these years of farming. I also handed over everything, and never dared to fool the Su family.

Su Bei Gu reassured her and said, "It will soon be time to pay the summer tax. Let me take a look. It doesn't mean anything else. Auntie doesn't need to think about it."

Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Consultant from North Jiangsu: "Your family rented [-] acres of land from the Su family?"

"Yes, twelve good fields, five acres of middle fields, and three acres of Susukida at the foot of the mountain."

"What did you plant?"

"Naturally, good fields are used to grow food. Potatoes are grown in the five acres of middle fields, and soybeans and cotton can only be grown in the three acres of thin fields."

Tanzhou is located to the south of the Yangtze River, and rice is the main food crop. At the beginning of March, every paddy field has been filled with seedlings. At this time, the rice seedlings have jointed and grown tall, and rice ears have begun to grow.

From Subei Gu's point of view, the rice grown by Chen's family is not much different from that grown by others.In other words, if she sets up a formation here, she will be able to confirm the success of her experiment by comparing other people's rice next year.

But there is a big problem in front of her - the [-] mu field is really too big and scattered, even if she can set up formations for each field, she doesn't have that much aura Maintain these formations.

If she wants to make the crops grow in the direction she imagined through the formation, and then rely on the crops to extract the aura to practice, she still has to spend a lot of effort on the formation. In this way, she fell into an endless loop again.

"There shouldn't be any problem with this formula, after all, places with thin aura can react..." Su Bei Gu Wu thought to himself.

Suddenly, she remembered a key point. Zhao Jiu mentioned that this formula does not have high requirements for the environment, but she never said that it does not have high requirements for the person who performs the formation!

Who is Zhao Jiu?That is the little ancestor of the big sect!In the world of cultivating immortals where strength is the most important thing, the reason why she can be honored as the little ancestor is naturally because of her strong strength.No matter how thin the aura is, it is actually not difficult to maintain a formation with her strength.

Today's Su Bei Gu is just a rookie, so how can he be compared with Zhao Jiu? !

Although the reality is cruel, Su Beigu did not give up. As she walked, she wondered if she could improve this formula.

A dark-skinned man passed by carrying dung, and when he saw Su Bei Gu and Chen's wife, he stopped and said in surprise, "My lady? The little lady is here too!"

Su Beigu recognized him as Chen Ahu and asked him, "What are you doing?"

"Pick manure." Chen Ahu replied.

A thought flashed by, but Su Beigu didn't catch it for a moment, so he could only chew the word repeatedly: "Manure, manure?"

Chen Ahu explained: "Yes, at this time, the rice must ensure sufficient water and nutrients. If sufficient nutrients cannot be applied, the rice will not grow well and the harvest will be small."

His very ordinary words made Su Bei Gu Lingguang flash, and immediately thought of how she would solve the problem in front of her!

The growth of crops needs nutrients. Since she can't directly set up formations in the field, can she start with nutrients?

Using the fertilizer as a primer, so that the crops can better absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and the moon. Although it is an extra step, the result is similar, isn't it? !

As for how to use fertilizer as an introduction, she also has a charter in mind.

-

Back at Su's house, Su Bei Gu smelled a strong smell of mutton before she got close to the kitchen. She looked around and didn't see Tan Ruyi, so she guessed that she should be cooking the mutton in the kitchen right now.

It just so happened that Mrs. Lu came out of the room beaming with joy. When she saw her, she smiled from ear to ear: "Bei Gu, the hairpin you gave mother, mother likes it very much! Look, how does mother wear it?"

Su Bei Gu's eyebrows and eyes were bent: "Mother is young and beautiful, she looks good in anything she wears, not to mention that this is a gift carefully selected by sister-in-law."

Lu Shi was stunned, maybe it was unexpected that when Su Bei Gu would wipe honey on her mouth, she became more happy, and even Tan Ruyi, who gave her this gift, changed her mind: "You have a heart for the bride." .”

She remembered that Su Bei went to the field once, and asked: "How did you go to inspect the field? Is the Chen family lazy?"

She actually thought that Su Bei Gu was there to inspect.

Su Beigu smiled, and she couldn't tell Lu Shiming about it, so she said, "The whole Chen family works hard, and they will never be lazy."

Lu Shi said: "We still have to keep an eye on them. If they are lazy, we will pay less rent."

The tenancy relationship between the Su family and the Chen family exists in the form of sharing, that is to say, the income of the Su family depends on the quality of the harvest.For some families, the tax is fixed, so that no matter what the harvest is, it will not affect the income of the main household, and the only ones who suffer are the tenants.

The advantage of sharing is that the better the harvest, the higher the main household's income; the worse the harvest, the worse the main household's income.

All in all, the main household and the tenant share the risk. In order to improve production efficiency, the main household will provide agricultural production tools such as farm tools, cattle and donkeys to the tenant, reducing the expenditure of the tenant in these areas; at the same time, in order to reduce risks, the main household must Keep an eye on tenants.

This is why Su Beigu never thought of taking back the field and farming it himself.She used her own field to do experiments, and if she failed, it would not affect the growth of the crops, but if she succeeded, it would benefit both the Su family and the tenants.

Although this kind of dependency still exists, ideally, sooner or later, the Chen family will be able to save money to buy their own land, so that there is no need to rent other people's land.

Su Bei Gu said: "Mother, I plan to improve the manure. I will inevitably use my own field to test the effect of the manure. If the harvest is not satisfactory, please don't blame them."

Lu was stunned again: "Ah? How can manure be improved?"

She really couldn't imagine how her fairy-like daughter would deal with manure.

"Manure can extract the nutrients needed by the crops and remove the excess. In this way, there will be no smelly manure in the field, and it will also facilitate the crops and soil to better absorb nutrients and promote the growth of crops."

Lu Shi was at a loss. After all, she has never been in the field since she was so old, and she didn't know how to extract nutrients from the manure.

Su Bei Gu didn't explain too much, just said: "If Mom is worried that I will ruin the fields at home, then I will go back to the Taoist temple first and use the Taoist fields to test."

It's not that she is blackmailing Mr. Lu by returning to the Taoist Temple, but that she values ​​practice more than anything else, so if she can't use her own field to experiment, then she must return to the Taoist Temple for experimentation.

As soon as she heard that she wanted to go back to the Taoist temple, Lu said: "Why would I worry about you ruining the family's field? You have always been prudent in handling things, and the reason why you made this request must have been carefully considered. How can a mother not agree to you? reason?"

"Thank you ma'am."

I don't know if it's Lu Shi's illusion, she feels that she is much closer to this daughter than before.

The mother and daughter who were talking suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, which was different from the fragrance wafting from a distance, this fragrance was closer, and the closeness could hook people's greedy worms out.

Su Beigu turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Tan Ruyi and Mu Xiuxiu coming in with a pot of food, with white smoke floating on it, and a strong smell of meat coming out along the white smoke.

Tan Ruyi smiled and said: "Auntie, Bei Gu, the mutton brisket is ready. I don't know if you are hungry, but I thought it was almost time, so I decided to serve it first."

The smile on Lu's face became more sincere, and he said, "It's just in time."

Su Bei Gu also said: "It's really fragrant, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are really amazing."

Tan Ruyi was praised so that a blush appeared on her face, and she said, "Bei Gu hasn't tasted it yet, so such a compliment seems to be deceiving."

Lu Shi said: "If it's not delicious, it's also a skill to make Bei Gu praise it against his will."

Su Bei Gu and Tan Ruyi looked sideways slightly.Although I can feel Lu Shi's innocence and know that this is an unconventional compliment to her daughter-in-law, it's easy to make people mistakenly think that she is acting weird.

"Taste it and you'll know." Su Beigu asked Mu Xiuxiu to set aside the bowls and chopsticks. She first picked up a piece of soft mutton belly for Lu Shi, and then picked up a piece for herself.

The mutton brisket, which is supposed to be tough, is soft and delicious, as if it melts in the mouth, and the smell of the mutton is also very light, and there will be no smell in the mouth after eating.It's no wonder that after Lu Shi ate the first piece, he hurriedly picked up the second piece, it was really delicious.

Su Bei Gudao: "It's rare for stewed meat to be so tender, so my sister-in-law should have used other cooking methods?"

"I stewed it for two hours first, and when it was almost done, I took it out and put it in cold water, and then stewed it. Is it too soft and rotten to taste?"

Su Beigu shook his head: "It's just right, very delicious."

"Then you eat more." Tan Ruyi took this opportunity to pick up a few pieces of fat and thin belly meat for her, and watched her eat it with burning eyes, so as to gain approval from her.

Su Bei Gu Sheng's feelings were hard to get rid of, so he could only finish eating all the meat.

Mu Xiuxiu brought Tan Ruyi's old hen soup and the dishes prepared by Ms. Meng to the table one by one.

This meal, Su Bei Gu and Lu Shi were both fed very full, and Lu Shi called out to walk in the yard to digest food.

Neither Su Beigu nor Tan Ruyi stopped her. After she left, Tan Ruyi asked, "Can Bei Gu accompany me to digest food?"

Su Beigu's way of digesting food has always been to meditate and breathe out, but maybe it's because he eats people with soft mouths and short hands. Tan Ruyi kindly invited her, and she couldn't refuse, so she said, "Listen to Sister Aqin."

Tan Ruyi took her hand and teased, "It would be great if you really listened."

Su Beigu: "..."

What does it mean?

Tan Ruyi didn't explain, she took Su Beigu's arm and went out, wandering around the village.
