Happy peasant girl

Chapter 270
Xin Moyang turned his head, snorted and said nothing, it's not that he can't wear it, but he can't wear it, so he won't break up with Lin Qingxi.

When everyone put on the shoes and tried them in the water, they found that their feet were really not wet, and the soles of the shoes were very comfortable, making it easier to walk around in the water.

"The rain boots are really good, how can there be such miraculous boots in the world!" someone exclaimed.

Linrenyi and Linyuanshan also tried it, and felt that the rain boots were really good, and they could wear them even when it snowed in winter, so that they would no longer have to worry about freezing their feet in the snow.

After trying on the boots, Lin Qingxi saw that some victims seemed to have something to say to her, but they didn't know how to say it, so she asked them first.

"Do you have anything you want to ask me?" Lin Qingxi walked up to several people and asked.

"Girl, don't blame us for being troublesome. I really don't understand why the girl wants to reclaim such a wasteland. If you want to grow crops, isn't the wasteland without water better?" A young man in his late teens boldly asked.

Lin Qingxi smiled and said to them: "I reclaimed such a wasteland to grow crops, and you all came from the south of Chu State, because you have heard that rice is grown in water, right?"

"Rice is grown in my house, but not much in the water."

"My family grows a lot, but many rice seedlings are drowned every year, and the annual harvest is not much at all."

"That's right, rice is too difficult to grow in water."

Several victims said one after another.

"Rice will not drown in the water. The key lies in the trimming of the rice field, the height of the water, and the most important choice of rice species. The rice I taught you will never be drowned, and Plant in August and harvest in November, as long as the weather is favorable, the yield per mu of land can be very high." Linqingxi said to them with a rather mysterious smile.

"Girl, how many can there be?" Someone asked curiously.

"At least one mu of land is eight hundred catties." Lin Qingxi smiled and gestured at the number "eight" to several people.

Not only the victims, but also Xin Moyang, Lin Renyi, and Linyuan Mountain were all shocked. How could there be such a high yield of rice on one mu of land?

In modern times, the yield per mu of rice is generally more than [-] jin, and the highest can reach about [-] jin.Although the common rice varieties in Chu State are not hybrid rice, after selection, the quality of these rice varieties is no worse than modern rice varieties.

That's why Lin Qingxi dared to say so.Of course, the most important thing is that she has already grown rice in the secret garden that is not grown in paddy fields, and the yield per mu is about [-] jin. So with the soil that is most suitable for growing rice like now, the yield will definitely be higher.

"Girl, is what you said true?" The victims just wanted to ask their doubts. They didn't expect such an unexpected harvest. How could there be [-] catties of rice per mu in the world?

"Of course it is true, but in order to achieve this goal, you must first rough-plow the soil in these rice fields, then fine-plow them, and finally cover them to make the soil in these rice fields soft. I have made People have built a lot of farm tools and sent them here, which can also save you a lot of effort." Lin Qingxi said.

"Girl, don't worry, we will cultivate these lands well." All the victims present said happily.

"I believe in you. When the harvest is over in a few months, you will know more about whether I am telling the truth. If you want to go home to grow rice by then, start to learn from these experiences of growing rice now. Afterwards, I will teach you how to grow and transplant seedlings, so that even when you return to your hometown, you won’t be hungry.”

Only by allowing the people of Chu to truly see the actual benefits brought about by growing rice in water, can they abandon their old concepts and experiences of farming and re-accept this new method of growing crops.

"Thank you girl, thank you girl!" The victims began to thank Linqingxi again.

At this moment, Wei Xuan came back with a lot of people pulling dry soil and stone bricks. Lin Renyi and Lin Yuanshan helped these people unload the soil and stone bricks together, and then put on rain boots and went to the field to help cultivate the rice fields.

Seeing Lin Qingxi coming, Wei Xuan walked towards her with a smile. These days, because he has been busy with farming in Lishui Bay, he doesn't have many chances to meet Lin Qingxi.

"Brother Wei Xuan, drink some water and rest, you have worked hard these days." Lin Qingxi quickly poured a bowl of herbal tea and brought it to Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan drank a bowl after receiving it, and then said to her: "Xi'er, I have ordered people to rush to the south of Chu State to look for those buffaloes you mentioned. Ship to Yunzhou."

"It's really great!" The victims who came from Linqingxi in the south learned that there was a kind of water-loving buffalo, so they asked Wei Xuan to help her find it. This kind of buffalo is the best farming cattle. Rice can't do without them.

A few days later, the buffaloes that Wei Xuan mentioned were transported back in a large carriage. After two days of getting used to them, these buffaloes were divided into two parts by Linqing River, one part stayed in Lishui Bay, and the other part was sent to Beishan Bay. Men harness them to iron plows and help till the rice fields.

With the help of buffaloes, the speed of plowing the land has increased significantly. Coupled with the handy farm tools and rain boots that are not afraid of water, the originally extended plowing time has also been shortened a lot.

However, Linqingxi also found a thorny problem, that is, with the arrival of the summer rainy season, Lishui Bay and Beishan Bay have a lot of rain, and the victims have problems with food and accommodation.

On this day, Lin Qingxi found Lin Zhongguo, because the jam and fruit wine were made enough to survive some time ago, so Lin Zhongguo was not particularly busy during this time.

"Father, didn't many carpenters follow you to make wine barrels a while ago? I want to ask, among those people, who do you think has the best craftsmanship? I want to find some people to help me make some big wooden boards as soon as possible." Qing Xi said.

"Girl Xi, why do you need so many wooden planks? Those people are all good at craftsmanship, and the best ones should be the third father and son of the Ding family in Lishui Bay." Lin Zhongguo was helping to make jam, he stopped what he was doing, and walked to Linqing in front of the creek.

"I have asked people to buy some ready-made wooden boards in the town and Fucheng, but it is still not enough. I want carpenters to help build more. Now is the rainy season, and I want to build some prefab houses in Lishui Bay and Beishan Bay." Linqingxi thought about it, the straw shed house is still not good, the prefabricated house can not only keep out the wind and rain, but also allow the victims of the disaster to live better.

"Prefab house? Girl Xi, explain it clearly to Dad." Lin Zhongguo also became interested.

"Father, the method of activity is to temporarily build a house with wooden boards, which can be disassembled at will. After the new house is built, these board houses can be dismantled, and the wooden boards can be reused." Lin Qingxi said.
