Chapter 90 The people of Wu County will be grateful

Xiao Qinshi and Su He, mother and daughter, also followed the crowd to watch the fun. Seeing Su Ying holding a wooden box and talking seriously about how to raise bees, Su He almost laughed out loud.

These people are stupid. Su Ying has never raised bees and knows nothing about beekeeping.

Especially that county magistrate, who followed Su Ying with nods and bows, nodding to whatever Su Ying said. Even if Su Ying said that shit smelled good, that person would nod without hesitation.

Only this inexperienced ninth-rank official can be fooled!

"Mother, why are these people so stupid? I don't know what kind of magic potion Su Ying poured into them. They all treat her like a Bodhisattva!"

Su He's eyes turned red with jealousy, "No, I'm going to tear off her mask!"

"He'er! Don't act rashly!" Xiao Qin grabbed her, "If you make trouble openly, we'll have nowhere to stay and we'll be kicked out of the Su family."

Xiao Qinshi has some brains.

"What should we do? Let her be proud?" Su He was unwilling.

"Why are you panicking? If you can't do it openly, you can do it secretly!"

Xiao Qin looked at Su He with scrutiny. Is this her daughter? How come she doesn't have any of her cleverness?

"Yes, mother is right!" Su He thought, yes, do it secretly.

They quietly destroyed the beehive at night and attracted bees! Humph, a few months later, these idiots went to collect honey, but there was nothing!

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

The mother and daughter were chirping crickets. The people next to them couldn't hear clearly, but seeing that the mother and daughter were laughing strangely, they all looked at them warily.

Most people in the village knew that Xiao Qin was not very smart, and many people had seen what Su He did that night, and they didn't have a good impression of the two of them.

The mother and daughter smiled with malicious intent, which was very disgusting.

The three brothers Hu Zi, A Mu and Asang saw it clearly and secretly memorized the scene.

After placing the beehives, everyone came out with confidence.

"Look, this humus is so fertile!"

County Magistrate Hu stepped on the soft ground in the woods, squatted down and dug it up. It was all black and brown rotten soil. He stepped on it hard and fertile water sizzled out.

The mountains are connected to each other, and the rotten soil is inexhaustible. In the near future, Wu County will be full of fertile fields and thousands of miles of fertile land!

It makes me excited just thinking about it! My achievements will definitely be recorded in the county annals!

"It is a blessing for the people of Wu County to have Lord Hu here!" Su Bucheng praised at the right time.

"No way! Mr. Su, thank you for your praise!" County Magistrate Hu said modestly.

"Well, my humble abode is simple, sir, please come in and have a seat!" Su Bucheng said politely as he passed by his home.

"Sorry to bother you. I'm thirsty. Let's go and have a bowl of water!" County Magistrate Hu took it seriously and stepped in.

Su Bucheng had no choice but to lead everyone into the yard. There was no place to sit, so everyone found a stone to sit on.

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei poured some cold boiled water, added some honey, and asked everyone to drink.

The fresh wild honey is sweet and refreshing. The thirsty people drink it all in one gulp, leaving an endless aftertaste.

"Is this the wild honey we had this morning?" Hu Erlang asked Su Ying.

Su Ying nodded.

"Do the bees we raise taste like this?" Hu Erlang really likes the taste of honey.

"Not necessarily! Different flowers bloom in different seasons, and the taste of the honey brewed will be different." Su Ying replied.

"This honey should be a mixture of osmanthus honey and pomelo honey. If you like it, I'll give you a tube later."

"No, no! I was just asking casually." Hu Erlang declined politely.

Honey is the most precious thing in Su Ying's family. How can you grab it just because you like it?

"My dear, what you said is unreasonable. You gave my family an ox cart, so I can't give you a barrel of honey. Besides, there will be plenty of honey in the future!" Su Ying advised.

"Well, thank you very much!" Hu Erlang couldn't argue with Su Ying.

There was a brief silence between the two. Hu Erlang looked around the yard, where several winnowing baskets were filled with yellow things drying in the sun. "Have you dried all your chestnuts into chestnut flour?"

"Yes! Chestnut flour can be used to make porridge to satisfy your hunger, and it can also be used to make chestnut cake! It is durable in storage. Would you like to try the chestnut cake?" Su Ying was about to get up and make some to entertain the guests.

"No need, we've walked a long way, let's take a break!" Hu Erlang pulled Su Ying.

Seeing the green-skinned fruit drying on the ground looked different, "What is this? It doesn't look like a walnut!"

"Tea fruit! For extracting oil!" Su Ying replied.

"Oil pressing?" County Magistrate Hu was very sharp-eared. The Su family was full of treasures.

"Yes! The tea oil squeezed out is clear and has a light taste. It is a high-quality cooking oil. The production is small, and apart from the royal family, only the nobles can afford it.

If this is well developed, it will become a specialty of Wu County in the future. Just relying on honey and tea oil, the people can live a comfortable life."

"Can this really be used to extract oil?" County Magistrate Hu confirmed again and again.

How come no one in Wuxian understands such a good thing?

In fact, there are really a lot of good things, but information was not developed in that era. People who read books had never seen the real things, and people who had seen the real things had never read books.

A perfect miss, the treasure was not discovered in time, or was discovered very slowly.

This thing has been recorded by the ancients for a long time, but it has not been widely circulated.

"Of course, dry it, grind it into powder, steam it, and then press it to produce oil." Su Ying affirmed.

County Magistrate Hu rubbed his hands excitedly and said to his advisor, "I remember there were quite a few of these in the mountains."

It's eaten by the royal family and nobles! If it's developed vigorously, the people will have an additional source of income. If you make fine products, maybe they can become tribute!

Does it mean that I can move to another place?

"Yes, sir!" Tears flashed in the master's eyes.

After following the county magistrate for more than ten years, I finally saw a glimmer of hope.

This place is so poor that even if I wanted to impose more taxes, I was afraid of provoking civil unrest. I offered to resign to the county magistrate several times, but he tried to keep me with tears in his eyes.

Every time he made up his mind to leave, the county magistrate would cry and keep him.

The friendship between the two of them lasted for more than ten years, but in the end, the master gave up and no longer thought about finding another job.

Although we can't get enough food here, the county magistrate is really a good host.

"Mr. Su, I have to say something to you!" County Magistrate Hu criticized Su Bucheng dissatisfiedly.

"What do you mean, sir?" Su Bucheng was confused.

"You hid such a good idea as tea oil! Are you afraid that I, Hu, will become rich alone?" County Magistrate Hu laughed.

"Su dare not! Pressing oil from tea oil fruit has been around since ancient times. It's no secret. We wanted to press some for our own use in the village and sell the excess. I really didn't know that no one in Wu County uses it to press oil." Su Bucheng explained seriously.

"Mr. Su, you know, this place is wild and there are a lot of good things here, but if you don't tell us, few people here know their wonderful uses!"

County Magistrate Hu bowed to Su Bucheng and said, "Mr. Su, you came from Chang'an and are much more knowledgeable than the rest of us. Please don't hold back! Please help me! The people of Wu County will be grateful to you!"

"Your Excellency, thank you for honoring me!" Su Bucheng hurriedly returned the greeting.

"Girl, don't say that. My father is absolutely right!" Hu Erlang agreed deeply.

I have a lot of books on agriculture and sericulture, but I just read them mechanically and cannot put them into practice.

"This..." Su Ying was about to speak.

"My dear, please have some water!" Su He handed a bowl of honey water to Hu Erlang, interrupting their conversation.
