Since we are already at Jiangyue Pavilion, let’s go to the second floor to see how Daya and the other two are doing with their weaving skills.
She quietly came to the second floor. The teaching nanny saw her coming and was about to speak when she saw Jiang Tuantuan making a hushing gesture, signaling her to be quiet.
The nanny understood immediately and walked out quietly. Daya and the other two were concentrating on weaving linen. Their movements looked a bit clumsy and they spun very slowly.
"The boss is here."
"Well, I came to see how the three of them are doing with their studies."
"These three children are among the smartest and most talented I've ever seen. They were able to spin linen independently in just three months, but they're a little slow. They'll be even better if they have more time."
"In another month, we'll start teaching them to fluff cotton. We'll try to learn how to weave fine cotton cloth as soon as possible. More and more people will use cotton cloth in the future."
The nanny thought to herself that cotton cloth was only used by rich families, and ordinary people were content to be able to wear new linen clothes. The boss's words were too exaggerated, but she just thought about it and didn't say it out loud.
"I will do my best to teach them so that they can learn it as soon as possible."
Jiang Tuantuan has long wanted to promote cotton cloth across the country. After all, linen is indeed very uncomfortable to wear, but the problem now is that cotton is very expensive and there are few people who know this skill. They need to study cotton cultivation.
Speaking of farming, I just remembered that it seems like I haven’t seen how the land I rented has been planned for a long time. It happens that I have some time today, so I can go and take a look.
He left as soon as he said he would, and quickly took a carriage to the outside of the city. He first went to find Erlaizi. In another month, the wheat would be ripe and it would be time to harvest.
After arriving at the field, we saw two figures working in the distance, and in the distance there was a child squatting on the ground feeding chickens with rice.
Jiang Tuantuan shouted loudly: "Fu Fu!"
The child who was feeding rice to the chickens heard someone calling him and immediately raised his head and looked around.
"I'm here." Jiang Tuantuan waved at him.
Following the voice, Fu Fu saw Jiang Tuantuan's face. He thought for a long time but still couldn't remember who it was.
Erlaizi had put down the tools in his hands and walked to Fu Fu, touching his little head.
"Boss, you're here."
Jiang Tuantuan jumped down from the carriage and said, "The harvest is about to begin. I came to see how the wheat is doing."
Er Laizi's eyes lit up as he pointed to the several acres of land ahead and said, "There's one area with a definitely high wheat yield, but there are others with lower yields, some even worse than the original wheat."
Looking forward, there was indeed a piece of wheat that looked full and golden in color, while there was another piece that looked wilted.
At this time, Dafang also came over. Compared with the last time we met, Dafang's skin color had become much yellower, probably because she got tanned from working in the fields.
But he looks pretty good.
"Let me introduce them. The best performing ones are the third and fourth seeds, and the worst performing one is the first seed."
Dafang took Jiang Tuantuan for a walk around the fields, and they understood the basic situation. It must be said that Dafang was really good at this.
Jiang Tuantuan praised: "Not bad, not bad, a man and a woman working together makes the work not tiring."
Then he asked, "I gave you some cotton seeds. How are they growing?"
"All the cotton is planted on the land we rented. I'll take you there to see it."
"good."
The two walked towards the farm. After a few steps, they found that the small hill seemed to have changed. There seemed to be the sounds of animals. Following the sound, they saw several cows eating grass in front of them.
"The boss is here!"
It turned out to be Big Head’s voice.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Are you herding cattle?"
"Yes, these are the twenty young cowboys I recently bought."
Looking at these little cowboys, who seemed quite energetic, Jiang Tuantuan nodded and left.
Walking further, you will see large areas of ginger fields and sweet potato plants. This area with few trees has been converted to ginger and sweet potato plants. The trees originally planted here have been cut down and turned into chicken coops and cow pens.
Then I heard a group of chickens crowing, which was very loud.
Mai Wu is taking Ertou to feed the chickens and clean the chicken coop!
I didn’t expect that in such a short time, the chicken coop had doubled in size.
It was not until Jiang Tuantuan and Dafang walked in that Mai Wu and Ertou, who were feeding the chickens, noticed the noise and sat up to look.
Seeing Jiang Tuantuan moving forward, Mai Wu quickly said, "Boss, don't come forward. There's too much chicken shit and we stink too much."
Indeed, the air was filled with the smell of chicken shit.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "How do you usually deal with this chicken poop?"
Mai Wudao: "They were all shoveled up and piled to the side, but now the pile is getting bigger and bigger, and the smell is getting stronger."
A rough count revealed that there were more than 150 chickens.
If you don't find a reasonable way to deal with chicken manure, you will definitely be reported by the people in the long run.
Jiang Tuantuan said, "We can't just leave the chicken shit alone. We have to find a way to deal with it."
Mai Wu said, "Why not dig a hole and bury the chicken shit in it."
After he said that, Jiang Tuantuan immediately remembered that she had read in a book before that chicken manure could be used as fertilizer.
"I've got an idea, Mai Wu. Let's collect all this chicken droppings and use them as compost."
Under Jiang Tuantuan's instructions, Mai Wu and Ertou found a piece of wasteland, dug a hole, put a layer of leaves in it, then put a layer of chicken manure, and then put another layer of leaves. They repeated this several times, covered the top with soil, and then put another layer of leaves on it.
There are a lot of leaves on the mountain, and they are easy to collect.
Several people didn't quite understand why they did this, and Jiang Tuantuan didn't explain. Instead, he asked them to come back in fifteen days and he would come and watch it with them then.
If this method is successful, then composting will not be a problem. After doing all this, I finally went to see the cotton.
The cotton seems to be growing well, about one meter tall, and it looks like it is about to burst. It will probably be harvested in another month.
It was getting dark, and they had to go home quickly, otherwise their families would worry. Jiang Tuantuan said goodbye to them and went home in a carriage.
On the way home, Jiang Tuantuan sat outside and watched the people passing by. After a while, a man on horseback galloped past, his speed was more than twice hers.
Suddenly she realized why she didn't learn to ride a horse. It would be much faster to travel to and from the city. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to take a carriage every time.
I decided to do it right away. I will start learning horse riding from tomorrow.
When she returned home, she saw Li Jingchen holding Yubao and sitting in the yard waiting for her.
"Why are you back so late again today?"
"I'm going to visit a farm outside the city. Let's not talk about this for now. I want to learn how to ride a horse. Can you teach me how to ride a horse?"
Li Jingchen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Okay, but why does Tuantuan suddenly want to learn horse riding?"
"Because riding a horse is fast, and riding in a carriage is too slow."
