Happy peasant girl

Chapter 82
Linqingxi's last sentence is the key point. After Linyuanshan heard it, he put down the hoe in his hand, took out the pipe from his waist, and asked her: "Girl Xi, grandpa has been planting the land all his life, why is something wrong?"

Lin Qingxi said: "Grandpa, the old man once said to me, 'The plowing is one inch deep, but it can cover the dung once. The plowing in the spring is not busy, and the face is yellow after the autumn." The spring plowing here is very shallow, although it is busy. But I was too busy to get any results, and I never fertilized the land. The land is weak, and the crops are planted on it, so how can there be a bumper harvest. Grandpa, only the land should be plowed deeply, and then fertilized and irrigated reasonably. Enjoy the food, then in autumn, the ground will be golden."

Linyuan Mountain was moved by the "golden ground" described by Linqingxi, and he also knew that Linqingxi's farming was no weaker than him, who had been farming all his life. On the contrary, the farming experience she brought up often It is something new that I have never heard of, and there will always be unexpected gains after trying it.

"Xi girl, this deep plowing is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also delays the cultivation of the land. You can buy a cow and it will be useful? Cows are not human, and they don't know how to use a hoe, haha!" Although Linyuan Mountain agrees with Linqingxi's statement, but It is not so easy to actually do it.

"Grandpa, I've thought about this question a long time ago, please wait for me first." Lin Qingxi quickly ran into her room.

Although some cattle in Chu State are called "farming cattle", they do not actually participate in the farming work. National cattle are very precious livestock.

At the beginning, Linqingxi's thinking was always fixed on some modern agricultural tools, but relying on the current level of Chu State in all aspects, it is a bit impossible to make those agricultural tools.

The current plan is to make some more advanced farming tools left by the ancestors, so that the people of Chu State can save some manpower, material resources and time.

This time, Linqingxi will make the improved plow through the hands of skilled craftsmen of this era, so that it will be much easier to plow the land when farming in the future.

After finishing the sketch soon, Linqingxi galloped to Linyuan Mountain again, then handed it to him and said, "Grandfather, do you think the blacksmith in our town can make this thing?"

Linyuanshan took the paper that Linqingxi handed him, carefully looked at the things on it, and asked curiously: "Xi girl, what is this?"

"Grandpa, this is called a plow. With it, the ground can be plowed deeply without a hoe. However, the front must be pulled by an ox, and a person must be behind it. If there is no ox, a smaller plow can also be pulled by a person in front. Yes, the speed and depth of plowing the land are better than hoes." Lin Qingxi tried his best to sell the benefits of plowing.

"We need to use iron for this place? It looks like a big iron block, can this work?" Linyuan Shan looked at the paper over and over again and said suspiciously.

"Grandpa, it will definitely work!" The plow drawn by Linqingxi has been improved for several generations. As long as the iron is good, it is not only much lighter than the old-fashioned plow, but also saves effort, and the plowing effect is better. .

"Grandfather happens to know a blacksmith, so I'll go ask him." Linyuan Shan dried the paper, carefully folded it, and put it in his arms, then got up, put on his coir raincoat, and was about to go out.

Lin Qingxi hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Grandpa, there is no rush, it's still raining, wait until the rain stops before you go."

"It's raining!" Lin Yuanshan waved his hand and went out.

In the second half of the afternoon, Linyuan Mountain came back, and as soon as he got home, he told Lin Qingxi that the matter was settled, and after three days, the other party would turn the plow on Lin Qingxi's painting into a real thing.

During dinner, the people in the old Lin family were very curious about the "plough" in the mouth of Linyuan Mountain and Linqing River, but the grandpa and grandson just smiled at the family and didn't say much. .

Three days later, many people from inside and outside of Lao Lin's house came to see the plow. It was all because Lin Qingmu showed off for a while and told several children in the village that his grandfather had someone create a very magical farmland A tool that can plow the land deeply, so that the harvest of crops in the coming year will be better.

In this way, one word spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon the whole village knew about the "plow", a farming tool that had never been seen before.With curiosity and suspicion, many old people and children from the village gathered at Lao Lin's house that day.

"Grandma Ye, is that plow really easy to use? Does it mean that I don't have to work in the fields after using it?" asked a cunning child in the village.

"Puppy, are you afraid of working? You can't do this at such a young age. I need to help your mother more." Ye said to him in the tone of an elder.

"Grandma Ye, I'm not afraid, I... I'm just asking!" The boy who was called a dog by Mrs. Ye smiled and hid in the crowd again.

"His aunt, what kind of plow did Brother Yuanshan ask to make?" Grandpa Bao also asked curiously.

"Brother Bao, I don't know about this either. It's a mess made by the child's father and Miss Xi. Don't worry, everyone will come back in a while, and everyone will know when the time comes." Ye said with a wry smile.

Everyone waited for a while, and then heard a child shout loudly: "I'm back, I'm back!"

Today, Linyuanshan and Linqingxi went to the blacksmith's shop to pick up the plow. The old blacksmith that Linyuanshan knew was not only good at forging iron, but also a first-class carpenter, so the plow he made was very suitable for Linqing. Creek's request.

Immediately, Linqingxi ordered a few more plows. Since the [-] mu of purple soil cannot be moved, she has some extra money in her hand, which can be used to make farm tools, buy cattle and some poultry.

From a distance, Linqingxi found many people around the door of his house, so he said to Linyuan Mountain: "Grandfather, have you considered that matter?"

Looking at the slightly excited villagers in the distance, Linyuan Mountain said with a slight smile: "Grandpa has already considered it, let's buy a farming ox. If someone in the village wants to use it, girl Xi, you can't be stingy and refuse to use it."

Lin Qingxi pursed her mouth deliberately and said angrily: "Grandpa, do you think your granddaughter is that stingy person! Besides, didn't you say that I was sick when I was young, and I only lived by eating Baijia rice and wearing Baijia clothes?" Did it come down? 'The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring', I understand this truth."

"Xi girl is worthy of being my granddaughter of Linyuan Mountain, child, remember my grandfather's words, no matter how precious things are, no one is precious in people's hearts. If you lose people's hearts, you will have nothing." Being able to put the overall situation first, Linyuanshan is very reassuring towards her.

It's just that this child doesn't seem to have deep feelings for the people of the Lin clan. Thinking about it, she is only an eight or nine-year-old child, and there will be a long time to come. Let this child know where her roots are. OK
