"It's not yet to the point where you're stretched to the limit, so you should put it away quickly." Yu Jiao had already asked the waiter to go to the post station to send the letter written to Gu Yun to Danzhou early in the morning. She was just joking with Chen Yu.
Gu Yun said nothing more, and asked Dayong to collect the banknotes, saying, "If you miss this opportunity, you will never see it again."
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I need to trouble you for one more thing. Please help me buy some radish seeds. I need about 600 kilograms."
Chen Yu nodded, "It's not difficult to do, but it's a bit troublesome. I'll ask someone around."
There are very few farmers who grow hucai in large quantities, and Qingzhou has suffered a flood, so they have to travel to other provinces.
The servant who was ordered by Yu Jiao to prepare the carriage came in from the backyard, "Boss, the horses have been fed with hay. When are we leaving?"
Yu Jiao nodded, "Wait a moment."
"Where are you going?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
Yu Jiao stood up and said, "Go back to Changkui."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu put down the bunch of grapes in his hand and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been out for so long and haven't bought any food yet. It's time to go back. Let's go together."
We will cooperate in the future, so it’s okay to go back to Changkui together now. Yu Jiao responded, “Then you have to be quick. I can’t wait too long.”
Chen Yu immediately ordered Dayong, "Go to the inn and pack up your things, let's go home."
The two of them stood up and walked towards the door of the grain store. Yu Jiao said, "I'll wait for you outside the Yunlai Inn."
Yu Fuling helped Yu Jiao put the luggage on the carriage. "It would be good for you to accompany Master Shen on the way. When I went home last time, I heard that some refugees who couldn't get enough food became thieves and specialized in robbing people on the road. Be careful on the road."
Yu Jiao smiled and replied, "I will stay at home for two days at most and then I will be back. Thank you for taking care of the shop, sister."
"You're just sweet-talking!" Yu Fuling smiled and glared at Yu Jiao, then reached out and stuffed a food box into Yu Jiao's hand. She said, "Here are some snacks I made, and a can of soup made from candied fruit. If you get hungry on the way, you can eat some of these."
Yu Jiao took the food box and said gently, "If the shop is not busy, Sister will go out for a look. If you want to buy anything, just put it on my account."
Yu Fuling was happy to hear what Yu Jiao said, but she said, "You are so poor that you have to borrow money from others, why are you being so generous to me? I haven't spent the money you gave me last time!"
She urged Yu Jiao to get on the carriage, but in her heart she was thinking about taking some time to stroll around the city. Winter was approaching, and she had to make a winter coat for Zhao Yu and knit two pairs of thick shoes.
The servant led the carriage out of the yard and drove to the Yunlai Inn in the city.
Yu Jiao waited in the carriage for two incense sticks of time. Chen Yu and his servant came out of the inn and greeted Yu Jiao. Chen Yu then got on his own carriage. The two carriages left the city of Xiyun one after the other and headed towards Changkui County.
With nothing to do in the car, Yu Jiao took out "Si Sheng's Book" which she found in the study in Xiyun City two days ago. This is a comprehensive agricultural book. The book introduces seed selection methods and breeding methods such as "ear selection method" and "seed soaking method". It is rich in content and can greatly increase agricultural knowledge.
The book says, "The basis of farming is to pay attention to the time, mix the soil, apply manure, and weed early and harvest early." This sentence summarizes the general principles of farming and cultivation. It also records the method of plant grafting, and writes in detail about seed fertilizer, base fertilizer, topdressing, field zoning, and agricultural production experience in northern dry land and southern paddy fields.
Food is the most important thing for people. From ancient times to the present, both our ancestors and Grandpa Yuan in later generations have made outstanding contributions to solving the problem of food and clothing for the people.
Unfortunately, although Yu Jiao lived in the mountains with her grandfather in her previous life, she did not engage in farming and did not know much about crop planting. If she had known that her soul would be transported to ancient times, she should have studied agriculture and forestry, so that she could promote Grandpa Yuan’s hybrid rice in Taiyan, improve agricultural production, and liberate and improve Taiyan’s productivity.
However, it is never too late to learn as long as you want to. She can start from reading more books of her predecessors, summing up experience, and exploring slowly. As long as she is willing to work hard and study hard, she will always gain something.
The time along the way passed quickly as Yu Jiao immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge in books.
The waiter's voice came from outside, "Boss, we've arrived at Changkui."
Hearing the sound, Yu Jiao raised her head, lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside. The disaster situation in Changkui was not serious. The streets paved with bluestone slabs were no different from before. There were occasionally two or three beggars in the corners of the streets. All shops in the city were open and doing business as usual.
Yu Jiao lowered the curtain, closed the book, and did some eye exercises.
He opened the food box prepared by Yu Fuling and ate some snacks with candied fruit sweet soup.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Shen Yu's voice came from outside, "Meng Yujiao, I'm here. I'll have someone deal with the hucai seeds in the next few days. I'll have someone send you a letter if there's any news."
Yu Jiao lifted the carriage curtain, looked at Chen Yu who was leaning out of the other carriage, and nodded, "Okay."
Chen Yu glanced at Yu Jiao and couldn't help but said, "If you have other problems, just let someone come to me."
A smile appeared on Yu Jiao's face and she nodded.
Chen Yu then told Dayong to drive back home and lowered the curtains.
After parting with Chen Yu, Yu Jiao asked the waiter to go to Wenzhai and buy some paper, pen and ink sticks for Yu Qizhe before returning to Qingyu Village.
