Chapter 165 Is top dressing still needed?
"I've asked around, and now that spring planting is over, there are dozens of people willing to come and make canned bayberries." Aunt He also spoke up. She had already asked the villagers, and as long as there was work to do, everyone was very willing to come and work!
"There aren't many bayberries. Start making them tomorrow. You can still prepare them the same way as canned oranges." Xiao Jiuyue instructed. When she heard there were dozens of people, she asked, "How many people in the village are good at embroidery?"
"Everyone can embroider. As for those with good skills..." Aunt Shi mentioned several names in a row, "Shi Laosan's family, Huang Ming's family, Kong Liu's family, they all go to the county embroidery workshop to get work and do it."
"The Xiao family wants to recruit an embroiderer. You can go ask them when the time comes and see if anyone is willing to come." As soon as Xiao Jiuyue opened her mouth, Aunt Shi's eyes lit up and she said, "Miss Xiao, you want to recruit an embroiderer?"
There was a gleam in Tian Jinhong and Aunt He's eyes when they looked at Xiao Jiuyue. If the embroiderer did a good job, it could also supplement the family income.
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue nodded. "It's best if the embroiderer's work is good. If it's not good enough, then we need someone who can do the work meticulously."
"No problem. People in our village may not be as good as others in other aspects of work, but we are meticulous and serious, not impatient at all." Aunt Shi patted her chest and made the assurance. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue as if she was looking at the God of Wealth!
After Aunt Shi and the others left, Lian Xin poured tea for Xiao Jiuyue and said with a smile, "Miss, I think the villagers are completely different now than when I first arrived last year!"
When they first arrived last year, the villagers didn't like the Xiao family.
"People are all mutual." Xiao Jiuyue looked up at the bright moonlight, drank tea, the evening breeze blew, and the years were quiet and good.
"Miss, the way Aunt Shi looks at you is as if she saw silver." Lian Xin couldn't help laughing when she thought of Aunt Shi's eyes.
"Everyone likes money." Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly. The villagers in Fu'an Village were pretty good for the time being. No matter what they did, everyone cooperated. The villagers made money, and she also achieved her goal. It was a win-win situation.
"Lianxin, go get the piano." Xiao Jiuyue put down the teacup and suddenly wanted to play the piano very much!
"Yes." Lianxin quickly went to pick up the zither.
Xiao Jiuyue stood in the pavilion. The small pond was not big. The wind blew across the pond, and the lotus leaves on the pond swayed in the wind. Things had been sorted out one by one, and she was in a particularly good mood.
"Miss, the piano is here." Lianxin came over with the piano and placed it on the stone bench.
Xiao Jiuyue gently plucked the strings. After half a year of practice, she can now play some piano pieces in the style of guqin. For example, she was practicing "Hero Song" recently. She felt happy and joyful every time she played it.
On a quiet night, the melodious sound of a piano reached the front yard. Jun Lie listened to the intermittent sounds of the piano through a wall. Even though he didn't see anyone, he was sure that the piano was played by Xiao Jiuyue.
"This is the first time I've heard Miss Xiao's piano music." Guo Sheng sat on the wall and could see a pink figure in the pavilion from a distance.
Guo Yang leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes, and felt the boldness and grandeur of the music, which made him feel refreshed.
"Hey, tell me, does Miss Xiao dislike me, or does she dislike Third Master?" Guo Sheng looked at the figure in the pavilion and asked Guo Yang beside him, "I think she definitely dislikes Third Master. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left Third Master alone to eat in the restaurant."
Guo Yang listened to his noisy voice and used the sword in his hand to shut him up.
Jun Lie looked at the empty space where they were looking at each other, the window that hadn't changed in the slightest, what was missing was the person with the beautiful smile. The sound of the piano came intermittently, and he chuckled: So, there is still a dream of the martial arts world?
…
"Miss, great news!" Steward Jin rushed back from the capital overnight. When he saw Xiao Jiuyue, he said excitedly, "I met with Lord Song. Lord Song has already sent people to investigate this matter. I believe there will be a result soon."
"So, the Cheng family is about to collapse?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyes, with expectation in her eyes.
The person her father Xiao Fu left for her will definitely not let her down.
"Yes," Chief Steward Jin said affirmatively, pulling out a letter from his bosom and handing it forward, saying, "This is what Lord Song has repeatedly instructed me to deliver to you personally."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the letter: Dear niece Xiao Jiuyue.
Looking at these large characters, Xiao Jiuyue seemed to understand Song De'an's attitude. After reading the letter, Xiao Jiuyue understood what was going on and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Jin. Go back and have a good rest first."
"Miss, this is what I should do." Just as Manager Jin left, Yu Ge came back with good news.
When Yu Ge saw Xiao Jiuyue, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He couldn't wait to bring Xiao Jiuyue the news he had found. He said, "The people of Xunzhou all praise Lord Rong, saying that Lord Rong is a good official who serves the people. I heard that there is a river embankment in Xunzhou that has been repaired every year and has risen every year. Since Lord Rong left, the river embankment has never burst again."
"By the way, this is the handwritten letter from Lord Rong to the young lady." Yu Ge handed over the intact letter that he had protected. Along the way, Yu Ge was afraid that there was something wrong with the letter.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Jiuyue raised her lips after reading the letter. It is convenient to talk to smart people. Rong Xun in the letter said that he was already looking for someone to use his connections to see if he could be transferred to Lancang County!
Xiao Jiuyue received two pieces of good news in succession. The business of Zhiyunlou in the county also boomed. She was indescribably happy. Everything was moving in a good direction.
Time passed quickly and it was early June. The rice in the fields had reached the heading stage. Xiao Jiuyue went out early in the morning while the sun was not too strong. Compared with the densely planted rice by the villagers, the rice planted by the Xiao family was obviously different from everyone else!
However, each rice planted by the Xiao family is larger than that of others. When it comes to heading stage, the ears are longer than those planted by the villagers!
If you want to produce more rice, the length and fullness of the rice ears are very important.
"Miss Xiao." Shi Lizheng also looked at the rice fields several times every day. He planted rice in two ways. Now he also found that when he planted the rice according to Xiao Jiuyue's instructions and planted it more sparsely, the rice grew bigger and better, and the ears of rice were longer than before!
"Shi Lizheng?" Xiao Jiuyue was not surprised at all to see Shi Lizheng. It was the time when insect pests were growing in the fields. The Xiao family's fields had been plowed and fertilized according to her instructions, and the number of insect pests had decreased a lot.
"Miss Xiao, the Xiao family's ears of grain have grown so long, we will definitely have a good harvest this year." Shi Lizheng's eyes were full of anticipation. If there really was a good harvest, then the people in their village would not have to worry about going hungry!
"It's too early to talk about this now. Now is the critical growth period and we still need to apply fertilizer." Xiao Jiuyue came here today specifically to see if it was time to apply fertilizer.
"Miss Xiao, can I ask you how to apply fertilizer?" Shi Lizheng spoke with particular respect, and his eyes were full of anticipation as he looked at Xiao Jiuyue.
