Beloved Plantation King

The father-in-law who delivered the decree also brought other imperial orders. He stayed for two days and went to Nanpo Village to have a look.

Yin Peinan and the others entertained him well, and when he went back, they asked him to bring their Thanksgiving booklet, and also gave a general report on the rice situation in the next autumn, as well as this year's soybean harvest, as well as the upcoming peanut and cotton harvest. Condition.

They also asked the father-in-law to bring back several pots of grafted multi-color chrysanthemums and roses, and gave them to the emperor and empress.

The news of their conferment spread quickly in Xinping County. Within two days, everyone knew about it, and also knew that the queen and the sixth prince had visited Xinping County a few months ago, which shocked everyone.

Especially the villagers of Nanpo Village, their jaws were about to drop from shock.

They never thought that the people who lived in Yin Peinan's house at that time were actually the queen and the prince, and the officers and soldiers who came over that day were actually to catch the assassin.

"Oh my God, it's actually the Empress and His Royal Highness! I even talked to them that day!"

"I said it, I said it too!"

"Hey, Pei Nan's family is really well-off. They are really lucky. They can save anyone, the empress and the prince."

"I'll have to call him Sir from now on."

"That's true. Hey, Dr. Hu's family also got a lot of rewards, good luck."

"Hey, why didn't I meet them? Or my family would be prosperous?"

"You have a good idea. You can't say that. This matter, one is really a coincidence, and the other has to be Pei Nan and the others who are kind and courageous. Without knowing their identities, knowing that they are being chased and killed, I have long been afraid of causing trouble and letting them go, how can I help them?"

"That's the same. Well, in the final analysis, we don't have such a life!"

"..."

The doctor who bandaged the empress and Kang Ming didn't know their identities at the time, but they were invited by Yin Peinan to see them, but they didn't want to get so many benefits because of it.

He was called to Yin Peinan's house to accept the reward with them. He didn't know the truth until his father-in-law announced the decree.

He was so shocked and grateful that it felt like a dream.He also got a lot of rewards, and kept saying thank you to Yin Peinan and the others, because of these rewards, his family finally had the money to build a tile house for them.

The good news spread, there was an endless stream of guests from Yin Peinan's house and Zheng's house, even the magistrate paid a special visit.

Calculated according to rank, Yin Peinan and the others are much higher than the magistrate. Although they don't have any real power, they are still high after all.Moreover, they also enjoy the privilege of direct access to the emperor's desk, so the prefect dare not neglect.

It was too troublesome to deal with them one by one, so Yin Peinan and the others simply held a flower viewing party.

Now the chrysanthemums and Chinese roses in the garden are blooming just right, they were planning to have a flower viewing party, and they just took this opportunity to invite all the people who should be invited, so as not to receive guests every day and delay the farm work.

The garden of Yin Peinan's house covers a fairly wide area, more than three acres, and a small pond was dug and a rockery was built inside, and Zuo An's favorite water lily was raised inside.

When the empress was here, it was the time when the water lilies were blooming. He liked the water lilies very much and would come here every day.

In addition to water lilies, there are many flowers planted in this garden, which are planned and bloom all year round.

Moreover, after their careful cultivation and Yin Peinan's supernatural power, the plants and flowers in the garden are particularly vigorous, and the potted flowers are also particularly graceful.

Now in autumn, seasonal flowers such as sweet-scented osmanthus, chrysanthemum, jianlan, and rose are blooming in the wind and blooming in full bloom, which has been praised by many guests.

Especially the multi-color roses and multi-color chrysanthemums, because they are so novel, many guests were amazed after seeing them, and wondered how they were planted.

The master and those flower lovers were also invited.They saw two-color rose flowers last year, and many people placed orders.

Now when they see the finished product, they are even more pleasantly surprised than before.Because there are not only two-color ones in this garden, but also three-color ones and multi-color ones.

Many people secretly found Zuo An and the others, wanting to buy flowers.

"Brother An, I want this pot of three-color chrysanthemums. I'll take them away after the flower viewing party is over. Keep it for me, don't let others take it away!"

"Hey, brother Yi, besides what I ordered before, I also want two pots of this, multi-colored roses."

"..."

In the beginning, it was only those who were good at the flower viewing party. Later, I don’t know how other guests knew that these flowers were still available for sale, and they all came to make reservations.

Zuo An and the others couldn't remember because there were too many people, so they had to tie a small rope to the root of the reserved flower to distinguish them.

By the time the guests left in the afternoon, many of the flowers in the garden had been sold, and there were not even a pot left of the grafted roses and chrysanthemums, which were all sold.

Ji Yuebai looked at the garden which had become much more empty, and said, "Hey, there were so many flowers, but suddenly there are so many fewer, I'm still a little uncomfortable seeing it."

Zuo An smiled and said, "It was originally bought and sold, and it will be planted next year. What do you want to eat tonight? Do you have an appetite?"

Ji Yuebai had severe morning sickness before, but it got better a while ago.He was ordered to stay at home because of fetal gas, and later because of morning sickness, he has not come out for a long time.

Now that he has finally survived the period of morning sickness, this time he came here and planned to stay for two days.

Ji Yuebai was not polite to Zuo An, and said: "I have an appetite, I can eat it very much now. I want to eat hot and sour chicken offal at night, but there are too many people at noon, so I am too embarrassed to eat too much."

"Okay, then I'll let Pei Nan fry it, he fried it delicious." Zuo An smiled, and said: "But it can only be slightly spicy, and you can't eat too much. If it's too spicy, you won't get angry. alright."

Ji Yuebai nodded: "Okay, okay, as long as there is something to eat. The past few months really killed me, I vomited whatever I ate. Sigh, you said why you didn't have morning sickness, but I vomited so badly, I'm so unlucky .”

Zuo An thought for a while, and said, "I can't say for sure. Everyone reacts differently. Maybe it's because of my different physique? After I found out I was pregnant, Pei Nan helped me relieve my backache every day with supernatural powers, and my physique improved a lot."

Ji Yuebai stroked his chin and said, "Well, your situation is indeed different from mine. Forget it, let's not talk about it, but luckily you survived."

His tummy is more than three months old now, while Zuo An's is a little over seven months old, his tummy is round, and the baby is very active every day.

Ji Yuebai looked at Zuo An's stomach and said, "Your stomach is really like a ball, it's so big. The godson must be a fat boy when he is born."

"The doctor also said that he looks very good." Zuo An rubbed his belly, the corners of his mouth raised, very gentle.

"Let's go, let's go back, it's time to make dinner, I'm hungry." Ji Yuebai took Zuo An's arm and walked towards the kitchen, and said as he walked: "Hey, the empress is so fast, go back immediately They found out the person who harmed them, which is really swift and resolute."

Zuo An nodded, and said: "Well, he is indeed very powerful. He couldn't tell when he was here. He deliberately restrained himself. You don't know, when we rescued him back, my little daddy and I changed his clothes. I woke up just in time, and I still feel a little chills down my spine when I think of those eyes."

Ji Yuebai sighed and said, "It's not easy to live in the palace. I didn't think of those palace fighting dramas before, but now that I think about it, it's really dangerous. People, for the sake of power and interests, they can do anything. Hey, what do you think? , the imperial concubine who killed him and the prince born to the concubine probably have no hope, right?"

Zuo An shook his head and said, "This, no one will know until the end. The current crown prince is the queen's eldest son."

It happened that Wen Yi came from behind and heard the words and said: "Xiao'an, be careful what you say, don't speak indiscriminately, be careful that walls have ears."

Zuo An immediately said: "Yes, little daddy."

Wen Yi walked forward, Ji Yuebai and Zuo An, who were born in the era of relatively free speech, looked at each other and shrugged.

When Wen Yi walked away, Ji Yuebai whispered to Zuo An: "Fortunately, the lord we have been conferred has no real power, otherwise it would be terrible to be involved in the power struggle."

Zuo An also felt the same, nodded and said in a low voice: "Well, let's live our lives well, spread the seeds of these crops, and get some new varieties from time to time. Anyway, no matter who is the emperor, as long as he is not a fool, the agricultural The problems are all issues that they need to focus on, and they need to focus on solving and developing. As long as we don't get involved in it, we will be useful to the country, and ordinary things can't be dealt with by us. The emperor is our biggest backer. "

"Well, my life is important, I don't want to get involved in those messy things." Ji Yuebai shook his head, and said: "By the way, I heard from Yin Peinan that the threshing machine is ready, have you got it back? "

Zuo An shook his head: "I'll get it back in two days, and I'm still doing final adjustments and assembly."

"Then the autumn harvest can be used."

"Yes, it can save a lot of effort."

During the autumn harvest, Yin Peinan's foot-operated threshing machine attracted the attention of the villagers again.

"Hey, let me try, let me try."

"I'll try too."

Yin Peinan smiled and said, "Let's try it, and help me clear up this field by the way."

Everyone laughed, and everyone helped to collect the rice with a handful of rice.

"Hey, don't say it, it's really useful."

"Hey, it was a bit out of control at first, I was almost brought in, it scared me to death."

"You stepped too fast and didn't stand firmly. Let me tell you, the bottom plate must be stable. When you put it on, put your hands on the platform first. Once you stand firmly, you will be fine."

"Really, I'll try again."

"Hey Pei Nan, you guys will be cutting the crops tomorrow morning, can you lend me the threshing machine for the whole morning?"

"Okay. When I'm done, I'll give you the blueprints. You can go to Uncle Dashan to make them. For the wheel, go to blacksmith Zhang in the city. It will be ready for use next year."

"Okay, okay. Then I will make one at home."

"..."

September and October are the harvest season, and they are also very busy. Rice, peanuts, and cotton are all being harvested one after another. There is also the promotion of grain seeds, and peanuts and soybeans are also being exchanged for purchases.

What's more, the sugar cane they planted is also ready for harvest.

Because it is the first year of planting, and the experience is not enough, the sugarcane in several fields does not grow very uniformly.

The distance between some sugarcane nodules is too short, which is hard to eat, hard to bite, and very laborious.This kind is not easy to sell, but this kind of sugar content is relatively high, which is suitable for sugar production.

In the sugarcane field, Yin Peinan invited more than a dozen people to help dig sugarcane.

"Uncles and aunts, if these nodules are too short, please pick them out and put them on the other side, so as to distinguish them from the longer nodules. Also pick out those that are less than three feet long."

An uncle asked: "Pei Nan, how can you sell so much sugar cane?"

Yin Peinan replied: "I can't sell that much. The ones with short nodules, I want to get sugar."

"Squeezing sugar?"

Yin Peinan said: "Yes, sucrose is delicious, and sugar is so expensive. If it works, we will grow more next year. Uncle, if you are interested, you can grow it with me."

"We don't have so many fields to plant."

Yin Peinan: "Didn't my family have an extra [-] mu of land? They are all in nearby villages. If you want, you can plant my family's field. The rent is easy to pay, but it is a bit far away, so you have to go a little farther."

"That's fine, I'll go back and discuss it with my family. If you want to plant it then, you can leave us some sugar cane for seeding."

"OK, no problem."

"Hey, then my family should also rent two fields, we want to grow two fields of millet."

"It's all right. You go back and discuss it. When the time comes, tell me that people from other villages will come to ask, so I can reserve it for you first."

"Good good."

It took two days to dig the sugarcane, and then they kept some of the sugarcane with thin nodules for sale and food, and dragged the rest to the sugar mill to ask people to make sucrose.

Yin Peinan and the others don't know much about the sugar making process, but they want to develop this area.Sugar is so expensive in this era, it is a huge market.

This year's sugar cane is used to test the water.

The traditional boiling sugar method already exists here, but there is only one sugar workshop in their county, and it is still very small.Because there are not many sugarcane growers in their county, this small workshop only starts to do work in October every year, and usually does other things.

The workshop is too small, and it took a lot of time to finish all their sugar cane.

But there is also good news, most of the most sold in the city is caramel, with less sucrose.Because sugarcane is not so easy to preserve, it is usually squeezed around the time of Chinese New Year in a year, so there are very few in the market.

Moreover, this kind of sugar is very good for the body, so if you have it, those who buy it will try to buy as much as possible, and try to buy enough for a year.

As soon as Yin Peinan's brown sugar was ready and sold in the store, it immediately became a hot product. Rich families and other stores in need rushed to buy it, and it was sold out quickly.

This situation gave Yin Peinan and the others confidence that in the coming year they could have more varieties and develop one more agricultural and sideline product.
