"Madam, Clan Leader Meng and Village Chief Meng are here. The master asked me to invite Madam to the front yard to discuss something." Zeng Wuming trotted all the way from the front yard and slowed down when he reached the backyard.
"Okay. I'll be right there." Su Qi put down the Compendium of Materia Medica in her hand and pointed at Gu Beijing and Gu Beiting who were studying diligently. "If you've been reading for too long, go take a walk in the yard. Go see how Mrs. Zhang grows radishes."
Gu Xiaoyue was holding a book and learning to write. She put it down embarrassedly. "Sister-in-law, I'm going to help Grandma Zhang plant radishes."
Su Qi smiled:
"All three of you go. In addition to medical skills, you must also learn other things so that you won't be afraid anywhere."
"Let's follow my sister-in-law."
"I understand, sister-in-law." Gu Beiting carefully put the book away.
The three of them took it into the house together.
Su Qi stood up and walked towards the front yard.
As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I heard someone at the door asking if this was the residence of the miracle doctor?
Ying Shi squatted at the door and watched two wolf cubs fighting and playing. The wolf cubs were brought back from the wolf den while hunting yesterday. He said he would raise them and give them to Dabao and Erbao to play with.
When someone asked a question, he replied without raising his head:
“There is no miracle healer.”
A man dressed in silk clothes got out of the carriage and said, "My dear, someone from your family saved my wife in town yesterday. I came here to thank the miracle doctor for saving my life."
As the man spoke, he handed over a visiting card.
Ying Shi knew that Su Qi and others went to town yesterday.
I picked up the visiting card and took a look at it.
"Master Zhou, please wait a moment. I'll go in and report."
Ying Shi came in and handed the visiting card to Su Qi. Su Qi took a look at it and said nothing but words of thanks.
The person who came to the Zhou Mansion was Young Master Zhou. Su Qi was not in a position to show up, so she pondered for a moment. "Please invite him to sit in the west hall. I'll have Bei Heng entertain him."
Ying Shi nodded and left.
Su Qi entered the front hall, where both Clan Leader Meng and Village Chief Meng were present.
"Qiqi, Meng Lizheng said he would sell us the village land in exchange for cotton-padded clothes and food for the winter." Gu Beiheng explained to Su Qi softly, "The village land includes the two hills at the back."
Hilltop?
Su Qi likes it, it is easier to do big things with mountains.
The next step is to sign the sales documents, and both parties sign the documents without objection.
There was no way to give them the cotton clothes and food right now, so Su Qi suggested paying them in installments. These goods were on the way and would take about ten days to get here.
In fact, Su Qi was just making an excuse for herself.
The warehouse has to be filled up little by little.
The Meng clan leader and the Meng village chief naturally agreed. They knew that Su Qi and his wife were very cunning. They always had a plan for everything, even when they were demoted, they could arrange a way out.
If you hang out with them, your life will not be bad.
At the same time, Su Qi requested that starting from tomorrow, each household in the village should arrange one person to come and take orders and do things.
"Meng Lizheng, Meng Clan Leader. I hope you can tell your relatives and friends that the lame Taoist priest's words contain a divine secret. He was punished by revealing this secret.
"The lame Taoist priest risked his life to warn everyone, and we should all be grateful." Su Qi cleared her throat. "Of course, there are explanations for this. If you don't explain it well, the government might think you're spreading rumors and misleading the public..."
Chief Meng glanced at Su Qi's hesitant expression and stroked his goat beard, praising him:
"Don't worry, I understand this matter. Leave it to me."
"The chief is very shrewd. What you worry about will never happen. Even hunters can't defeat this old fox."
The Meng clan elder's face darkened. "You are the old fox. You old fool. I am wise."
The two old men began to bicker.
Su Qi quickly told Gu Beiheng that Young Master Zhou was coming and asked him to go out and entertain him.
Gu Beiheng stood up and left.
When Clan Leader Meng and Village Chief Meng saw Gu Beiheng leave, they said a few words and repeatedly assured him that they would do as Su Qi thought.
The two of them bickered and left together.
After leaving, the Meng tribe leader called a meeting with the elders, and then asked the elders to call a meeting of the Meng people.
He and Meng Lizheng went to several neighboring villages to chat with the village chiefs or clan leaders.
The latest gossip: The lame Taoist priest is blind, lame and stupid because he leaked the secret of heaven.
As for what secret was leaked?
Everyone shook their heads. Think about it carefully.
Those people recalled the lame Taoist priest's mysterious words, and each family began to prepare quietly. By the way, they also spread the lame Taoist priest's gossip.
How could the spectators say nothing?
Soon, everyone in Jinyang Prefecture knew about it.
Naturally, some people scoffed at this. Some people thought, why not just believe it for once?
The first batch of fermented fertilizer has been applied to the fields.
Su Qi planted the first season's radishes and potatoes.
"Madam, the framework of the greenhouse is ready. We have hired a lot of people to cut bamboo in the past few days. It can be covered with oilcloth." Seeing Su Qi coming to the field to inspect, Meng Gouduo hurried forward and pointed to the bamboos on the ground to show her.
The people in Mengjiazhuang don’t understand what Su Qi is going to do?
Farming has never been so troublesome as this woman.
They only built sheds for people to live in, but I have never heard of building sheds for crops to live in.
The rich people in Beijing really know how to have fun.
Many old farmers in the village couldn't stand Su Qi's messing around and didn't dare to come to the fields to help.
I was afraid that the grain seeds would be spoiled and make God angry.
Meng is not afraid of many dogs.
If people can live in shacks, why can’t crops live there?
He was happy to work for the Gu family.
Su Qi nodded, "Leave a vent here for me. And build bricks around this wall."
"Brick?" Meng Gouduo didn't quite understand.
"Yeah. The weather is getting cold, and we'll need firewood." Su Qi handed the blueprint to Meng Gouduo and said, "Find someone to build it according to this pattern."
When Meng Gouduo saw him, he wished he could turn into a potato seedling.
This treatment is more spacious than where he lives.
Is the potato still the same potato? Is the radish still the same radish?
Meng Gouduo was shocked:
"Ma'am. These crops are more blessed than I am."
Su Qi twitched the corner of her mouth:
"Work hard, and you'll be able to live in a brick house in the future."
Meng Gou was so happy. Not to mention whether he could live there or not, just thinking about it made him happy.
The first batch of potatoes and radishes covered about ten acres of land.
I have potato seedlings in the backyard, and I estimate I can plant another two acres. The potatoes I used were cut from potatoes in the space and germinated, and I just planted them in the past two days.
The yield of one acre of land can be three to four thousand kilograms. Even if the land here is not good, Su Qi thought that the yield per acre should be two to three thousand kilograms.
At worst, she could use her Chinese medicine skills to mix some fertilizers and supplement the fertilizer later.
"Put up the tarpaulins for the next two days." Su Qi looked at the fields not far away, thought for a moment, and said, "Clean up another acre of land for me. I plan to grow vegetables."
Meng Gouduo's legs were shaking. "Hey, I'll tell someone to prepare the ground right away."
Su Qi walked out of the field and prepared to go home with Bai Zhi.
Hearing bursts of crying coming from not far away. "What's going on?" Su Qi sounded like it was coming from the direction of Gu Beihan's house.
"Fang Xiaoya asked a Taoist priest to perform a ritual. She said it was to exorcise the evil spirits from Gu Jingru, but who knew that after the ritual, things would turn out badly." The old woman next to her was working with a shovel in her hand. She curled her lips when she heard Su Qi's question.
"How is it bad?"
"Gu Jingru has a dark aura about her body. Something has taken over her. They said that burning her and sealing it with black dog blood would be the only way to cure it. Now Fang Xiaoya is crying and saying goodbye to her daughter."
Su Qi sneered:
"Did Fang Xiaoya agree to burn it?"
"Her family has been having a rough time lately, so naturally she agreed."
