Upon hearing this, Xing Luxi was startled and quickly shook her head, "No, Mother, don't meddle. I have my own ideas about this."
He remembered Zhiyin's reminder. Since Yinyin didn't want others to know for the time being and didn't want to get married so soon, he would naturally listen to her.
He didn't want to burden her in any way.
Thinking of that passionate kiss just now, his eyes instantly darkened, his heart was filled with uncontrollable joy, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. After all, my son is all grown up, and this is the first time he's fallen for a girl!"
After saying this with a smug look, Aunt Xing gave Xing Luxi a reproachful look, "For so many years, you haven't had a single woman by your side, not even a maid. You've been hanging out with a bunch of rascals like Xiao Lin all day long. I thought you... hehehehe"
She kept patting her chest excitedly as she spoke, her eyes filled with relief and joy.
Xing Luxi's handsome features instantly darkened with displeasure, and he said speechlessly, "Mother, what are you thinking with those words?"
"Hahaha…"
"But I have to remind you, Yinyin is so outstanding, you have to hurry up and seize the opportunity, otherwise you'll really have nowhere to cry later."
…
Zhiyin was completely unaware of what was happening here, and instead called out to the village head who was about to leave.
"Yinyin, what's wrong? Is there anything else?"
The village head looked at Zhiyin with curiosity and asked in confusion.
"Uncle Village Head, the chili peppers I asked you to plant should be ripe by now, right?"
Zhiyin paused briefly for two seconds after saying this, and seeing the village head nod, she added with a smile, "You can tell the villagers that I've pre-ordered all those chili peppers for them."
"In addition, since I'm about to open a new store, I also want to help my fellow villagers get rich together."
"If you trust me, you can grow more vegetables and fruits and raise livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep."
"You don't need to worry about sales. I can sign contracts with you and help you buy your agricultural products and livestock!"
Zhiyin truly hopes that the villagers can become prosperous together.
Of course, this is not the most important reason. Another reason is that milk tea shops, cake shops, and restaurants all require a lot of fruit, milk, and other meats.
Currently, milk sources are still quite scarce, so planting more milk is beneficial and harmless.
Upon hearing that it was such a wonderful thing, the village head immediately perked up, his eyes sparkling as he excitedly looked at Zhiyin, "Good, good, good, of course I believe you!"
"Thank you for thinking of the villagers. I thank you on behalf of the villagers."
"They would be so happy and grateful to you if they knew!"
After saying that, he was filled with excitement and couldn't wait to fly over and tell the villagers, because time is money.
"I'll get the villagers involved right away. Should we sign a contract first?"
"Not for now, we'll sign it later."
At this point, Zhiyin suddenly realized that a lot of land in the village was actually quite barren and not very fertile, so the vegetables and fruits grown were not plentiful or of good quality, and they could barely make a living each year.
It's difficult to make a living entirely from farming, otherwise so many people wouldn't send their children to be slaves or servants.
Thinking of this, Zhiyin frowned immediately, but quickly came up with another fertile method.
Realizing it was almost time to plant rice, I hurriedly took out paper and pen to record the 'rice-fish-duck' symbiotic agricultural development system.
Old Huang had already curiously come over while Zhiyin and the village head were talking.
Seeing that she had actually started writing and drawing, I couldn't help but watch out of curiosity. The more I watched, the more shocked I became, and my original casualness was completely replaced by astonishment.
Finally, after Zhiyin finished writing, he couldn't resist picking it up and reading it carefully.
After reading it, he looked up, unable to hide his excitement and astonishment, and asked incredulously, "Little Yinyin, can this so-called 'rice-fish-duck' symbiotic method really increase the fertility of the land?"
Zhiyin nodded without hesitation, “Of course, fish and ducks can provide natural fertilizer for rice, loosen the soil, and increase the oxygen content in the water.”
"On the other hand, rice can attract various insects and provide food for fish and ducks, thus achieving multiple uses of one land and one water."
"Especially when locust plagues come, ducks are a treasure. Raising more chickens and ducks can drive away locusts."
Upon hearing this, Old Huang became even more excited. He held the paper in his hands as if it were a priceless treasure, his hands trembling, and his voice filled with excitement.
Not only him, but the village head was also very excited, "Really?"
After all, locust plagues were very frequent in ancient times, occurring every few years.
If this method is true, then Zhiyin's contribution will be immense! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it has benefited the people!
Jun Yexue, who hadn't left yet, quickly picked it up to look at it. The alcohol instantly wore off, her eyes lit up, and she was incredibly excited and completely stunned. "Yinyin, can this method be used anywhere?"
They all stared at Zhiyin, their eyes practically glowing with greed, yearning for an answer from her.
"Well, that depends on the local conditions, but it should probably work in the south..."
Zhiyin pondered an uncertain answer. Of course, she knew why Magistrate Jun was so excited, after all, this was a good thing that would benefit the country and the people.
If this method were widely adopted, it would undoubtedly greatly increase crop yields for people all over the world.
That's a great achievement!
Seeing their expectant eyes, Zhiyin lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then looked up at the three of them and added, "How about this, I will write down everything I know, including various other 'rice + shrimp' farming models. If the magistrate is interested, he can send someone to find a test field to experiment with it. If it is feasible, then report it to the higher-ups."
After all, even close friends can't guarantee that all of these will come in handy, because geographical conditions vary from place to place.
It is estimated that it will be somewhat difficult to implement in practice and will require multiple trials.
"Very well, thank you so much, Miss Yinyin! If it really works, it will be a great achievement, and I will definitely report it to the court to reward you!"
Jun Yexue was both satisfied and excited, feeling that the trip was worthwhile. She hadn't expected to gain so much, as it was a method that could increase rice yields.
It's truly a rare and precious opportunity!
At the same time, I found it very novel, never expecting that my kindred spirit would be so clever and have such ingenious ideas.
"Okay, there are a few more things to note. We need to control the number and timing of the ducks to avoid overbreeding. They can't be released during the rice planting season to prevent them from accidentally trampling or pecking at the rice, etc. I will write them all down."
After saying that, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Zhiyin drew a sketch based on the relevant memories in her mind, pointed to the pattern on it, and gestured for everyone to look.
"This way, we can grow green rice in the fields, dig a ditch more than a meter deep next to it, raise crayfish or other fish in the water, grow aquatic vegetables on the surface, and plant fruit trees on the ridges, etc..."
"Of course, this is just one method!"
