"Did you plant your wheat like this last year? I heard from the villagers that the yield per mu increased by 70 to 80 kilograms."
"Yes, because I had just tried it and didn't know if it would work, I didn't tell anyone in the village. I only told a few people. I didn't expect that after trying it, the harvest actually increased. So this year I told everyone."
"This is great. It's a great achievement for our village. If it is implemented on a large scale, the imperial court may even reward it." Yan Qinghua was very pleased.
"No, Li Zheng." Chun Xiao suddenly became nervous when talking about the imperial court. "We can grow crops here, whether they are good or bad doesn't matter. But if we tell the imperial court, and something goes wrong when the court implements it, our whole village will suffer. Li Zheng, we can't take that risk."
"Dad, Chunxiao is right. What's the point of a reward? If we are convicted, the whole village will be implicated."
The village head nodded and looked at Chunxiao. "Your cotton fields must have yielded quite a lot of crops. I saw you pulling out cartloads of cotton earlier. You used the same method."
"yes."
"Is there any other way?"
Chunxiao hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully, "Yes, there are other ways, but this is a way to make money." The meaning was very clear, and he couldn't say it.
The village head was a little disappointed, but then he smiled again. "I can see that you are a capable person. Your family's current situation is probably all due to you. If there is a chance to help the village in the future, I hope you will consider it."
"That's natural. We're all from the same village and we look out for each other."
The head of the village asked him other questions about planting, and Chunxiao told him everything that was irrelevant and that she knew.
Although it was not considered a technical skill, everyone at the table was extremely impressed. They felt that they had been farming all their lives but had not even touched the surface of farming. Now they realized that there are many types of soil. What kind of soil is suitable for what kind of crops, what kind of crops grow well in sunlight, and what kind of crops prefer cool places. In short, they were all listening with great interest when the meal started.
The feast started, and Chunxiao was about to leave. The village head looked at her reluctantly as she stood up and said, "Tell me more about it later when you have time. I've been farming all my life, and I didn't even know what you said. I'm so ashamed."
"Village head, these things can only be understood through more observation, practice, and comparison. Some of these things I've only seen in books, and I haven't verified them in practice."
“So, you still have to study.”
Chunxiao returned to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. The banquet had already started and each table was full. The children with their children stood by to eat. Today's meal was better than any other New Year's meal. Moreover, this time everyone in the village had tasted their braised meat and they all praised it highly. The braised meat was still the first dish to be finished on the table.
Some people sat together in pairs and talked privately. Zhang, holding the child, accompanied Yan Dahe to toast the elders at each table. In short, the atmosphere in the yard was lively and warm.
After all the dishes were served, the women hurried to eat while they were eating and drinking outside.
The second session will start right after the first session.
The people who cook are rotated, otherwise people’s arms will not be able to bear it if they keep cooking like this.
Chunxiao had only one feeling, that hosting a banquet was too troublesome. If something had to be hosted in the future, she would never do it herself. She would go to a restaurant and spend some money for convenience and save trouble.
The situation here is like this, and I guess it must be similar on Tian's side, as the meals on both sides are the same.
It was already noon when the two tables finished eating. Chunxiao's only thankful thing was that the banquet here was only one meal at noon. If they had to prepare another meal in the evening, it would probably exhaust people to death.
The banquet was over and everyone started to clean up and wash the dishes. Although there were a lot of dishes today, there were no leftovers on every table and everyone ate everything, which saved the trouble of dealing with leftovers.
After cleaning up, the women from the village who came to help were about to leave. Zhou had no intention of letting them help for nothing, so she cut two pounds of braised meat from her home for each of them to take home. The women were naturally happy. This braised meat could not be bought in the village even if you had money. Now they had two pounds of it, and the whole family would be in for a treat.
The tables, chairs, benches, and dishes were returned, but Chunxiao and the others no longer needed them, so she took a stool and sat at the door to rest.
Zhang quickly sat next to her.
"Still sleeping." What a lazy little cat. Chunxiao couldn't help but touch the baby's little face.
"He played for a while and just fell asleep again." She looked at Chunxiao leaning against the chair, "You must be tired. I told your second brother not to do it, but he insisted. I think mother is also very tired. Now I have to take care of this little one every day and can't help at all."
"Everyone will be happy if we do it. It can be regarded as our little Changxing doing good for the people in the village. Didn't you see Dad? He said that Second Brother spent money, but he himself was very happy. I don't know if he drank too much over there today. I have to ask Mom to go back and check on him later."
"Is it time to harvest the soybeans in the field?"
"Second sister-in-law, you're still thinking about the farm." Chun Xiao laughed at her worrying, "It's time to harvest. Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
Yan Bingfa was indeed drunk this time. Zhou was not there, so there was no one to advise him. The villagers said a lot of good things to him and offered him wine, so he drank too much. Even when he was drunk, he did not act crazy. He just lay on the bed with his eyes closed and muttered to himself. Even if you got close to him, you couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. Zhou was helpless against him.
Not only Yan Bingfa was drunk, but also Yan Dashan. In the past, when Yan Dashan was sober, he was relatively reserved, but now he was seen holding on to Tian and refused to let go no matter how Tian tried to persuade him. Tian was so embarrassed that she hit him several times, but he still didn't move.
