At 9:00 on the second day, Qin Yue, with more than ten people and five cows, appeared at the entrance of Lijia Village.
The villagers who were busy in the fields suddenly saw this scene and stretched their necks curiously, wanting to know who was so generous as to pull so many cows over at once.
It was not until Qin Yue's carriage stopped in front of Li Erlang's house that the villagers realized that it was Li Erlang's house and they no longer found it strange!
The villagers looked at the sturdy oxen with envy, silently digging their own fields with shovels, and dreamed of the day when they could have an ox for their own family! Then plowing and harrowing the fields would be much easier.
After learning that Qin Yue had brought the oxen, Li Yan came out from her home with a smile on her face to greet him: "Young Master Qin asked you to deliver it personally, this is so embarrassing!"
Qin Yue said nonchalantly, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I came out for a walk, just for fun! I wonder where to take this cow?"
Li Yan slapped her head and immediately replied, "Look at me, I'm just busy talking. Mr. Qin, please sit down at home and have some tea. I'll take the cattle down the mountain and will be back soon!"
Qin Yue followed behind Li Yan: "Let's go, I'll go take a look too!"
As the two walked one after the other, Qin Yue suddenly asked, "Does the girl have a lot of land?"
Li Yan: "It's not that much. I just bought the mountain last year. In order to make it easier to manage it, I also took over the wasteland below the mountain. Look, that's the piece in front!"
Qin Yue looked in the direction Li Yan pointed. The stretch of wasteland seemed to have been burned, and large patches of grass ash remained on the ground.
Qin Yue didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Miss Li, you took the trouble to reclaim such a large piece of wasteland. What are you going to grow? Although I've never farmed before, I know it's not easy to grow food on such barren land!"
Li Yan didn't hide anything and said frankly, "I went south with my uncle last year and found this high-yield crop. It doesn't require a lot of soil and can even be grown in mountainous areas. You have it in your Northwest Camp!"
Qin Yue saw that she was speaking frankly and didn't seem to want to hide anything, so he asked generously: "Speaking of this, I also want to ask if you know how to plant this thing? A few days ago, my cousin mentioned this crop to me. The military households have never seen it before, so they have been hesitant to plant it!"
Li Yan didn't hold back and said generously, "That's perfect. If you're not afraid of hard work, Mr. Qin, you can go and take a look at the fields. Once I've turned the land over, I'll start planting!"
The two chatted and laughed as they reached the fields. Mr. Li was plowing the soil with a few other people. Seeing his granddaughter approaching with the oxen, he quickly put down his hoe and approached with a broad smile, "Thank you so much, Young Master Qin! How could I ask you to deliver it in person?"
Then he glared at his little granddaughter and thought to himself, "Such an important person has come to your house, and not only did you not treat him well, but you also dragged him to your hometown!"
Looking at Li Yan who was glaring at him, Qin Yue felt amused and explained, "I wanted to come and see for myself. I heard from Miss Li that you guys wanted to grow high-yield crops. I've never seen this before, so I decided to come and see how it's grown!"
Then he asked his men to lead the cow to Mr. Li: "You can use this cow slowly, there is no rush!"
With five more cows, Mr. Li was very happy. He turned around and called out to the people who were busy behind him: "Come over and divide the cows!"
At this time, Old Man Zhao came forward with the cow and asked Li Yan in confusion: "Girl, we only have the cow, but do we have the plow?"
Hearing this, Mr. Li slapped his thigh anxiously: "Oh! Look, I was so happy that I forgot about this!"
We have a cow but no plow, so we can’t plow the land. There are only two families in the village who have cows, so it’s impossible to borrow one!
What should he do? He estimated that he would not be able to get the goods in a short time. Mr. Li was very anxious.
Li Yan watched her grandfather scratching his head and slapping his thigh. He must be very angry at the moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "Grandpa, why don't I go to the city to take a look? The spring plowing cannot be delayed!"
Qin Yue stopped Li Yan and said, "Don't worry, I have a way!"
