Song Xia now grows five mu of millet, and it's still quite a hassle for his family to harvest it all by themselves.
After discussing it with Fang Xiu and the others, she decided to ask someone to help them fight.
In order to bring it home as soon as possible.
Thinking of the foot-operated threshing machines he had seen in modern times, Song Xia had a few custom-made.
One of them is from their family.
I gave one to Boss Song and his family.
The villagers were harvesting their grain around this time, and they were incredibly excited to see this foot-operated threshing machine. If it weren't for the grain they were threshing, they probably would have just stood by and watched.
There is no threshing machine.
Not to mention that they couldn't thresh the grain as quickly as Song Xia and his group.
The yield of millet harvested was not as high as that of Song Xia and his group.
Their rice plants varied in height, with different sizes of ears, and some were even flat.
In contrast, Song Xia and his group...
The rice plants are all the same height, with ears of the same size, and each grain is plump.
Can the output be the same?
They harvested two to three hundred catties from one mu of land, while Song Xia's family harvested more than six hundred catties from one mu of land. Although it was not as much as some modern fields, it was still quite good.
The eldest Song family had more than the Song Xia family, with over 700 jin per mu.
Song Laosan's family has a weight of nearly 500 jin (250 kg).
The lowest weight among Song Lao Er's group was around 400 jin.
Although it's not much, it's still more than before.
This still shows a lack of careful management.
After the villagers found out, they all came to Song Xia's house to inquire.
They either ask how millet is grown, or they ask where the threshing machine came from and where it was bought.
Song Xia told everyone that they had developed a new variety of seeds, but since they didn't know how good it was, they didn't tell anyone about it.
It seems this rice variety is quite good; everyone can plant this kind of rice in the future.
As for the threshing machine, it was something I remembered to get later. If anyone wants to get a threshing machine next year, they can contact her in advance.
Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this.
It's true that everyone's life is much better than before, but who would complain about having too much grain? Or about harvesting grain too quickly?
The experiment was successful.
Song Xia told Tuoba Zhen about this and asked him to arrange for a reliable person to inform his grandfather, so that he could plant rice the same way next year and report back after it was grown.
Jin Beicheng did not object when he learned of this. In his opinion, Tuoba Zhen was better than the other princes.
If he could really climb up there, becoming emperor wouldn't be out of the question.
Jin Beichen had never forgotten what Song Xia had said. On the night of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, he held her in his arms on the roof and said, "Xiaxia, you said you would talk about it in September. What have you thought about it?"
Upon hearing this...
Song Xia looked directly at Jin Beichen and asked, "You said we'd get married, where should we get married?"
About this matter.
Jin Beichen had already made up his mind. He said, "Here's what I'm thinking: it can happen here. Of course, if you'd like, we can do it in the capital. But I don't want to invite my father, nor do I plan to invite any relatives from our side..."
His father treated him badly.
And she didn't want him to marry Song Xia.
Why should he bring her along and get closer to them?
"Okay, it'll be done here."
Song Xia preached.
It's decided.
The next day, Jin Beichen and Song Xia went to have their wedding clothes made.
They ran into Ji Ying as they came out of the clothing store.
Ji Ying is on the opposite side.
He had just gotten off the carriage.
Their eyes met.
Despite feeling a little bitter, Ji Ying still walked over to greet Song Xia: "Song Xia, long time no see. Is this your fiancé?"
"right."
Song Xia introduced them to each other.
Ji Ying felt that she hadn't lost unjustly.
Firstly, Jin Beichen had previously done business with Song Xia through him, and he didn't know that Jin Beichen was after her, yet he still helped make the connections.
Secondly, Jin Beichen is better than him in both appearance and status.
"Why not meet by chance instead of inviting someone? Shall we go to a teahouse for a chat?"
Ji Ying came here for tea, and now that he's met them, he's invited them to join him.
"OK!"
Jin Beichen agreed, but he didn't let Ji Ying treat him; he treated everyone himself.
They drank tea there for half an hour. During this time, Jin Beichen would peel melon seeds for Song Xia, give her fruit to eat, or stroke her hair.
Ji Ying really wanted to kick him.
He knew what he meant, but did he have to go this far?
After hearing that they were getting married.
Ji Ying felt even more upset. Why did these words have to come out of Jin Beicheng's mouth!
The days that followed.
Song Xia and the others were busy preparing for their wedding, choosing a restaurant and all sorts of other wedding-related items.
They set their wedding date for October 12th.
It's still early until October 12th.
But we still need to start preparing early.
The wedding room was arranged in the courtyard where Song Xia lived, next to her original room.
Song Qiu couldn't bear to part with Song Xia, so that night she came to her with her own pillow and said, "Second sister, I can't bear to part with you. I want to sleep with you."
Look at her longing expression.
Song Xia suppressed a laugh and said, "Come in."
Song Qiu lay down next to Song Xia, looking at the mosquito net above her head, and said, "Second Sister, Jin Beichen is from Daqi. If you marry him, will you go to Daqi with him? Is Daqi very far from here?"
Song Xia turned to Song Qiu and said, "I probably won't be going for the time being. It's definitely far away, and I heard it takes several months to get there."
"Very good!"
Song Qiu also turned her body to the side: "I was worried that I wouldn't see you for a long time. Also, I was learning to cook from you, but I'm still a mess of it. What will I do without you?"
As the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door.
The two went over and opened it to take a look.
Song Chun was standing outside.
She was holding a pair of purses.
Song Qiu said, "Big sister, you're here too."
Song Xia invited Song Chun to sit inside.
Song Chun handed her the embroidered purse: "This is a purse I embroidered for you. Take a look and see if you like it. If you do, keep it for later use."
Before Song Xia could say anything...
Song Chun then said, "Second sister, is there anything else you like? If so, I'll embroider it for you."
Hearing her say that...
Song Xia frankly said, "Big sister, do you know why I had our wedding dress made by other embroidery workshops? I just didn't want you to work so hard. But if you really want to embroider for me, embroider two scarves for me instead."
"scarf?"
Song Chun was hearing this for the first time and didn't know what she was talking about.
Song Xia then drew her a picture and explained to her what it was for.
"This one, this one is good."
Song Qiu wanted it too.
Song Chun decided to embroider one for everyone in her family, since it wasn't difficult.
The first two embroidered ones were the ones Song Xia wanted.
Song Xia planned to keep one for herself and give the other to Jin Beicheng, so she had it embroidered as a couple's scarf.
After Song Chun found out, the other family members embroidered different patterns.
She embroidered scarves for them, using red fabric, while the others had scarves of different colors.
On her wedding day.
Song Xia wore a scarf embroidered by Song Chun when she got married.
Seeing Jin Beichen carrying Song Xia out of the house, Cui Yunsu said, "Our Mingyan can do that too, he can carry Xiaxia home."
Luo Heng's lips twitched slightly as he said, "It's possible, but the problem is that people don't like him."
Cui Yunsu: "..."
I really want to find a new husband!
Luo Heng noticed that she was unhappy and quickly coaxed her, "Don't be angry. Although they can't be husband and wife, they are friends, right? You can see her anytime you want in the future."
"Can these be considered the same?"
Cui Yunsu was still heartbroken.
Ji Ying felt the same way. He knew he was not as good as Jin Beichen, but he still couldn't help feeling upset.
Ji Hao only had eyes for Song Qiu. As soon as Song Xia was picked up, he ran over to talk to her: "Song Qiu, long time no see. Do I look any different?"
