Chapter 95 She saw the hybrid rice
Chen Fan suddenly thought of a question: What do so many cows eat?

The grass hasn't been planted yet.There doesn't seem to be so much grass around Qijiadu and Kaiyun Village.

Sure enough, the cattle team attracted many people to watch. Starting from the cattle and horse market, people gathered more and more like fish floating out of the water.

Some people recognized Zhang Ci and Chen Fan, and soon, all the onlookers knew that these two people had fought on the street yesterday, and asked where the other person had gone.

Chen Fan tried his best to block out the sounds on the street, driving the carriage without looking sideways, and also stared at the back of the person in front of him.

After leaving the city gate, there were a lot fewer onlookers, and Chen Fan felt that the air was fresh.Walking on the country road, only passers-by on the road looked at them up close.After driving for a while, they arrived at a wasteland. Zhang Ci led the cattle to graze on the wasteland, and untied the frame of the carriage.

Chen Fan stood there watching the cows and horses grazing, and Zhang Ci came over.

"How should these cattle be raised?"

"Give it to the common people, subsidize some money to buy some fodder and millet. After the river is dug, we will talk to them about renting fields. There is a lot of land on both sides of the Qingxi River, and the plowing efficiency is relatively high."

He actually knows a lot about farming.

Chen Fan looked at him: "Why did you ask me about digging ditches in saline-alkali land that day?"

Zhang Ci smiled: "I want to talk to you."

Chen Fan: "..."

She changed the subject: "This cow seems a bit expensive."

"The cattle in Xizhou and Pingzhou are very expensive. These two places have high prices and low wages," Zhang Ci said.

"What about Qingzhou? What about Yuanfeng County?"

"You know the wages in Yuanfeng County very well, and the prices are not expensive. There is plenty of food and lush vegetation, so the price of cattle and horses is also cheaper than there."

Then will they buy cattle and horses from Yuanfeng County and sell them in Xizhou and Pingzhou?Certainly.It should be okay for the cattle and horses in Gyeongju to be more expensive. After all, the lives of the people in Gyeongju are relatively better.

However, the cattle in Yuanfeng County are cheaper, so she can save money.Selling more cattle and horses in Yuanfeng County to other places is also a way to make money.

The cattle ate grass for more than half an hour, and stopped for another ten minutes to drink water at the next water source.In this way, it was already noon when we reached Qijiadu.The workers have already had their lunch.

Everyone was very surprised to see so many cows, but they were embarrassed to stop their work, so they glanced at them from time to time.

Lizheng's wife, Wang Shi, was having lunch in Zhang Luo, and Qing Ji reported to Zhang Ci something about yesterday.

Mo Jian handed a small box to Chen Fan: "Miss Chen, yesterday's wages have been paid for you, and the villagers are very happy."

"Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me, you don't have to thank me, if you have anything to do, just tell me." Mo Jian smiled with a very simple and honest look.

The farmer fried a few dishes very quickly, and when Wang brought them to the table, Mo Jian asked who in Wang's village were good at raising cattle.

These guards and maids are so kind, they know what they should do without the master talking or winking.

Mrs. Wang mentioned a few families, including their population, how much land they farmed, and their character.

While Mrs. Wang was talking, Zhang Ci and Chen Fan finished their lunch.

"My lord, please call the villagers together in the evening. After the opening of the river is over, we will start plowing and planting the land. You can talk about how much land each family is willing to rent for the [-] mu of land here."

Mrs. Wang was not happy: "Planting now, where can we find late rice seedlings? Our county certainly doesn't have many, and Yuanfeng County doesn't know if there is enough. If we want to grow wheat, the land will last for a few more months. Plant some red beans, mung beans and green vegetables, but you don’t need so many.”

That's all the farmers can think of.

"What do you most want to grow?" Chen Fan asked her.

"It must be grain. The grain harvested in the field is not enough to eat. It is definitely good to have more grain, but the wheat will not be harvested until next year. If the late rice is planted now and the seedlings grow up, I don't know. Is it too late?"

"We will find a way for the seeds and seedlings. Whoever raises cattle will rent the land, and you will arrange it properly." Zhang Ci said.Only then did Wang show a smile.

"You take a break at noon, we're going to see the other side." Zhang Ci looked at Chen Fan.Chen Fan looked at Mo Jian, and she really wanted to follow him to see what role Mo Jian would play.

Zhang Ci smiled, while Mo Jian looked away as if he didn't know.

Chen Fan didn't insist, she still had other things to do.She went to the back yard, locked the door and closed the window, put down the mosquito net, and entered the space.

She took two sips of water and walked to the end of the creek, which she now called Lot Four.She was looking for late rice seeds.

She took down a bag, opened it, and it was still grass seeds, and carried a few more bags, all of which were grass seeds.Grass seeds are also needed, so let's put them first.

When she turned around, the scene in front of her was completely different.This place looks like a huge warehouse, with neatly arranged shelves and countless bags piled up.Is this some overlapping space again?
She saw the familiar simplified Chinese characters on the bag, and tears welled up in her eyes.

That is her hometown.

She was not so excited when she found the forage seeds of Sudan Red Gaodan Red Corn Grass last time, but now she looked at the text in her hometown and saw this modern warehouse, she couldn't help it.

With trembling hands, she stroked a bag, which was a certain fine variety of rapeseed.

She walked slowly, watching the same thing.She saw hybrid rice, she saw hybrid rice!She jumped a few times excitedly and wiped away her tears.

The growth cycle of late rice takes about 140 days. When harvested in late autumn and early winter, they can be soaked in the space to germinate, and then taken out for sowing. June, July, August, September, and October are all in time.

She roughly counted the bags, and there were more than 100 bags, and each bag weighed [-] catties.The number of seeds is also sufficient.

The question is when to soak and for how long?Will it grow into seedlings in space?I was really touched, but also a little afraid to move.

She took the rice seeds down the shelf one by one, looking for a way out.

She turned around and saw all the shelves. She didn't see the door or the window, just the shelves and bags, like some kind of special effect.

With the experience of climbing vines last time, she is not afraid now, but a little depressed.

She kicked the dirt on the ground with her toes, trying to resolve her worries.

One click, two clicks, three clicks, the special effect disappeared, and the scene of space appeared in front of her again.She didn't care about the surprise, and hurried to look at the rice seeds, which were still piled on the ground, next to the forage seeds.

She let out a long breath.

She left the space, and the room was silent.She opened the door a little, looked at the main room, there was no one, and the door was still closed.

She entered the room again, into the space.
