Chapter 229: Fields Blessed by the Gods
Juanjuan grabbed the cow's horns and bounced on its back. He didn't feel scared and instead laughed happily.
"Juanjuan." Old Madam Si was also startled, thinking that the buffalo had suddenly gone crazy.
"Grandma, Juanjuan is fine!" She also stretched out a hand and waved to Madam Si.
"Hold on tight, don't let go." Jiang Ze and the others were so scared that their faces turned pale. Anyone could see how precious Juanjuan was in the Governor's Mansion.
Perhaps the only calm person among these people was Si Jinchen. He walked towards the edge of the field without any hurry.
When the buffalo was almost at the edge of the field, it slowly slowed down, allowing Juanjuan to sit steadily on it.
The man who was managing the buffalo was holding a whip and was ready to hit the buffalo.
"You can't hit me!" Juanjuan sat on the buffalo's back and stretched out his arms to stop the person who was about to hit the buffalo.
Jiang Ze quickly grabbed the man and said, "Don't hit him."
Madam Si reached out and lifted her off the buffalo: "Child, you almost scared your grandmother to death. This is so dangerous."
Juanjuan lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. Juanjuan was wrong. Please don't hit Niu Niu. It's all Juanjuan's fault."
She didn't want Niu Niu to be beaten because of her fault. That would be so painful!
Madam Si looked at the people who had gathered to check on her. They all looked at Juanjuan with concern, fearing that she might get hurt. "My child was naughty and scared everyone. I'm sorry."
"I'm glad you're okay, but why did this buffalo suddenly run?" The group of people were a little puzzled, because these domestic buffaloes were relatively obedient.
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe I just want to have fun." Jiang Ze hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Everyone, let's get back to work!"
Si Jinchen came over at this time: "Brother Jiang Ze, do you have any broken backpacks or wooden barrels?"
"Why are you asking these?" Jiang Ze was a little confused, not knowing what it wanted these things for.
"I want buffaloes to pull these broken backpacks and wooden barrels across the fields so that the manure can be spread quickly." Si Jinchen expressed his idea.
There were people standing next to Jiang Ze: "That's a good idea, but these buffaloes may not listen to you."
"They are very human-like. Let's give it a try. If they can do it, don't beat them. Can you give them an extra meal today?" Si Jinchen looked at the few people.
They all looked at Jiang Ze without saying anything.
Jiang Ze respected their opinions, but he still had to make the decision on matters like this, after all, he was the one in charge here.
"I think we can give it a try." Old Lady Si said as she looked at Juanjuan playing the head-butting game with the buffalo.
Juanjuan was now head-to-head with the buffalo, and was pushed lightly by the buffalo and fell to the ground.
She didn't cry or make a fuss but laughed happily. She climbed up with her little butt sticking out and played head to head with it happily.
"Okay, let's give it a try. Yesterday's earthquake saved us a lot of time. Let's treat this as an experiment. If it succeeds, we can save a lot of time in the future."
Jiang Ze looked at Juanjuan and didn't know what he was thinking, so he made the decision immediately.
He asked everyone to bring broken backpacks and wooden barrels, filled them with farm manure, and hung them on both sides of the cow's back.
Although everyone thought it was a joke, they still didn't say anything. After all, they were paid by others, so they had to do whatever they were told.
Jiang Ze looked at the worn-out backpacks and wooden barrels hanging on the cows' backs, but he didn't know what to do next.
Juanjuan walked over to Niu Niu and touched its body: "Come on, Niu Niu! Let's have something delicious tonight."
"Moo. Don't worry!" The buffalo said, shook its head, and ran away.
As they ran, the fertilizer on their backs fell out of the broken baskets and wooden barrels due to the bumps and was evenly scattered on the fields.
The people near the fields were all stunned and rubbed their eyes with their hands, thinking they were seeing things.
But when they pinched their thighs, they found that they were not dazzled and were not dreaming.
The buffalo came back with its empty backpack and bucket and stood by the field waiting for them to add fertilizer.
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and fill up the baskets and barrels on their backs." Someone shouted.
Si Jinchen stood beside them. This kind of physical work of adding ingredients was not necessary for these children. "Can we give the cows some delicious food tonight?"
"Add more, definitely add more!" People all had smiles on their faces, as this improved their work efficiency.
A group of children with nothing to do walked up to Si Jinchen and asked, "How did you make them so obedient?"
"They are very human-like. Just explain it to them clearly." Si Jinchen said nonsense seriously.
"Really?" The children's eyes widened.
"Yes! Think about it, if you tell them to go east on weekdays, do they go east? If you tell them to stop, do they stop?"
Si Jinchen's words made sense.
Not only were the children fooled by him, but even the adults beside him nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my cow is usually very well behaved."
"See, I was right! As long as you explain it clearly to it, it can help us a lot." Si Jinchen chattered.
Hu Zi nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "We used to raise buffaloes at home, and they were very well behaved. When we went out to graze them, we would call them and they would come back."
Old Madam Si looked at the little guy sitting on the edge of the field, holding his little face with a pair of pitch-black hands, smiling brightly as he watched the buffaloes having fun.
This child really makes them rack their brains to come up with excuses every time, but fortunately everyone in the family is smart and quick to react.
Otherwise, I don't know how to make up for all these things she did.
Liu Yueya sat next to Juanjuan: "The buffalo is really amazing."
"Yeah." Juanjuan nodded quickly.
Originally, people had to spread the fertilizer little by little, but with the help of Shuiniu and Si Jinchen's ideas, they managed to spread the fertilizer on all the farmland before dark.
When the people left, they all felt like they were dreaming. The past two days were quite stimulating. They turned the soil over once overnight and applied fertilizer within a day.
I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, it won’t be so exciting.
Unfortunately, their wish was ultimately unfulfilled. When they woke up the next day, all the farm tools in their hands fell to the ground.
The field that had just been fertilized yesterday was turned over again, this time deeply, so that all the fertilizer was buried deep in the soil.
Jiang Ze was not as surprised today as he was yesterday. There was an earthquake the night before yesterday and there was an earthquake last night, but it was no big deal.
The people are now full of questions, but they are still very happy when they see the land has been deeply plowed.
This means they save a lot of time and do a lot less work.
I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that this piece of farmland was blessed by the gods and this year will definitely be a year of high yield and harvest.
