Chapter 486: Initial Success in Land Reclamation
"Live broadcast? That won't work for grandma. Grandma can't eat that much!" Madam Qin waved her hands repeatedly and admitted defeat.
"You don't have to eat to do live streaming. They may not have the skills we have!"
Su Qianqian held Madam Qin's arm. The wooden house was small, so Su Mu and Su Zi moved out small stools for everyone to sit on.
"Grandma, each of us is different. We have different personalities, different looks, and different things we have learned and known. All we need to do is show our strengths.
Being able to eat is something she is good at, and she is also good at writing, painting, singing and dancing. There is also her uncle and aunt who are good at swords and spears, and Han Jue's poems and songs are elegant and literary. As for you, grandmother, I heard that you are as good as grandfather in arranging troops and battle formations! ”
Mrs. Qin suddenly heard Su Qianqian mention this, and couldn't help but recall the past memories:
"That was many years ago. At that time, I was so brave that I could not do what other men could do. I studied military books and battle formations, and competed with your grandfather in secret..."
Madam Qin waved her hands and laughed: "I'm sorry to make you kids laugh. If there were no more wars in this world, why would we need to learn how to deploy troops?"
"Grandma, no matter what you learn, it will be useful. Perhaps a thousand years later, countless people will admire your exquisite formation and your wisdom!"
Su Qianqian smiled and clicked on a live broadcast. It was of a garden somewhere in China, where tens of thousands of people came to watch every day.
"Grandma, what do you think of this garden? Compared with the Marquis' Mansion?" Su Qianqian asked.
"It's very interesting to hear this man's story, but it's just an ordinary story. There are many pavilions and mansions built on rocks, and each one requires some ingenuity.
By the way, many places in the Marquis' Mansion were designed by your grandfather. He was known as a genius and became the Minister of Works at a young age. ”
"Yes, grandmother, the courtyard we live in seems ordinary, with the plaques bestowed by the emperor and the inscriptions written by important officials.
Grandma, you see, the calligraphy of the top scholar was a treasure at that time. Maybe what you have learned is a treasure in itself, and it will amaze future generations as long as it is displayed. ”
"People from later generations?" Qin Hanzhang whispered as if talking to himself.
"Qianqian is right, mother. We can see those...god-like people, and now they can also see us. Aren't we also gods in their eyes now?"
The third old lady was the first to figure it out.
"Aunt San, this is a good idea!" Su Qianqian praised.
"Okay...but if you continue to shoot that video tomorrow, don't leave us again!" Mrs. Qin smiled and patted Su Qianqian's hand.
After sending Madam Qin back to her room, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. However, most of them were too excited to sleep. Being able to see their own appearance moving in front of them was an experience that was too shocking.
So Su Qianqian was begged by Zhuang Yan to play the fifteen-minute video three times!
The next day, after Su Qianqian got up, she found that something was wrong with everyone.
No matter who she looked at, that person would immediately have a deep gaze, stiff movements and artificial postures. Until she saw Qin Hanjin and Zhuang Yan, Su Qianqian finally remembered a word: posed.
Su Qianqian: ...
So she said, "When making a video, you have to be natural. Even if you know you are making a video, you have to act as if you don't know it. So I won't make a video today. I'm going to ask my second uncle to make the tools. I also need to prepare materials and dig the foundation for the house over there."
After Su Qianqian said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and everything returned to normal.
Everything went on in an orderly manner. Su Qianqian's second uncle Jiang He was dug out of the house by Old Man Jiang. He temporarily put aside his research on solar energy and devoted himself to the design of semi-automated agricultural tools and excavation tools.
Jiang Shan received several books on later medicine from Su Qianqian, including books on surgery and human perspective. These shocked Jiang Shan, but in just a dozen seconds, he was completely immersed in the obsession with medicine.
Old Master Jiang no longer went into the mountains. Jiang Nian was responsible for building the house, and he was responsible for leading the people of Muchuan to plan and build terraces on the hillside.
The section of terraced fields built by the Qin family became a template. Su Qianqian recorded the process from clearing the bushes to digging out the stepped ridges, and then using the selected stones and mud mixed with glutinous rice water to build the field base.
Such fields surround the hillside behind the wooden house. The straight-line distance from the middle of the mountain to the back of the wooden house is nearly 100 meters, and they are neatly laid out layer by layer.
After removing the tree roots, weeds and stones from the soil, Su Qianqian used the water in the space to water all the terraced fields.
The area of the terraced fields renovated by the Qin family is not very large. Su Qianqian originally wanted to use it as a model to grow her vegetables and grains. In fact, the things grown in the space cannot be used up by both the Qin family and the Jiang family.
However, the people of Muchuan have never seen many vegetables and fruits. The hillsides here are suitable for planting, and even the valleys are suitable for making greenhouses in winter. It would be a pity not to utilize them.
By the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the terraced fields planted by the Qin family had sprouted green seedlings.
Su Qianqian allocated a small part of the field to plant winter wheat, and the rest to plant vegetables, including spinach, cabbage, leeks, Chinese spinach, kale, and some snow peas and broad beans. Those that can overwinter are planted next to each other, and those that need to be kept warm are placed together.
The people of Muchuan all came to see the novelty, and those who followed Grandpa Jiang to build terraces became more motivated and worked hard from dawn to dusk every day.
The farm tools and digging tools that Jiang He improved and developed were of great help and greatly increased the speed of clearing the mountain, but all of this was half destroyed by a sudden heavy rain.
The heavy rain came suddenly, and for half of the terraces, only the ridges had been dug out but the foundations had not yet been built.
Su Qianqian initially suggested not to rush for quick results and to rebuild another part after digging out the new land, but one of the elders who led the tribe to open up the wasteland disagreed.
"We should dig it out together and build the foundation together. That's what you did. Why do you want us to change the method? If we do this, we might not be able to plant the fields next year. We've wasted our time here in vain."
The clan elder is about the same age as Grandpa Jiang. Although he respects Grandpa Jiang very much, he doesn't take Su Qianqian that seriously.
"Our field was small, so it only took a few days to finish. But for this large field, if we don't quickly repair and fix the ridges, if a heavy rain comes and washes away the ridges, all our efforts will be wasted."
"In this season, there is almost no rain in Muchuan, let alone heavy rain! Do you know why there are few fields and the yield is low? It is because there is little rain in Muchuan, and most of the time it is dry!"
The elder said while tapping the ground with his walking stick.
"All the young men in the clan should listen to me. Hurry up and dig out the ridges first, and then build the foundation. If we do it quickly, maybe in a few months, we will be able to grow green seedlings in our fields."
The clan members dared not disobey the words of the clan elders, and this surname accounted for half of the clan in Muchuan. Even County Magistrate Zhou was a junior in the clan.
Only those who were not members of the Zhou clan followed Old Man Jiang in digging out a section and building up the new one, so the work was preserved when the heavy rain came.
