Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 264

Xiuyao looked at Liu Fei in surprise, he was running in a hurry, his face was covered with sweat, he was panting heavily, and he looked like his house was on fire.

Liu Fei is a relatively stable young man, Xiuyao rarely sees him like this, but there is still a little fear in those eyes.

"Brother Liu Fei, what are you in a hurry for?" She looked behind him, trying to see if she could see a ghost shadow chasing him like this.

Liu Fei didn't care about joking, and grabbed her, "Hurry up, go." As soon as he grabbed Xiuyao, he went to the mill, and Xiuyao had to trot to follow.

On the way, Liu Fei told Xiuyao the reason, and the county clerk came to Yangliu Village to look for Xiuyao, saying that they wanted to ask about Fanmai.

Xiuyao suddenly stopped in her tracks, "Is it the one with the mung bean eyes who is walking around?"

Liu Fei nodded, "It's him, he's looking for you as soon as he enters our mill, he doesn't drink tea, and he's not happy when he hears that you're not here."

Xiuyao quickened her pace and went to the mill with Liu Fei.

As soon as I entered the mill, I heard a male duck shouting in the main room, "Where is Qin Xiuyao, why hasn't he come yet? We are on business, who is responsible for the delay?"

Ren Lizheng and Zhou Lizheng were accompanying him. Although Old Liutou was the host, he was not qualified to speak up.

Angrily, he kept looking out in the yard, and when he saw Xiuyao coming back, he immediately greeted her.He led Xiuyao aside first, and said a few words, "Don't be afraid, just tell what you know, and don't know if you don't know."

Xiuyao smiled, looked at her grandpa's worried look, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, it's okay, they just asked us how to grow that barley."

She went to wash her face, then dusted off her dress, and followed her grandfather to see the Lou Shu Office.

When Lou Shuban saw her, he scratched his neck and glanced, "Ah——you are that Qin Xiu...what's the matter?"

Just now he asked about Qin Xiuyao, but now that the real master came, he immediately lost his memory and didn't know her name.

The two Lizhengs disliked it in their hearts, but this time the county lord personally ordered several clerks to go to the countryside to help supervise the affairs of Fanmai.

Zhou Lizheng immediately introduced with a smile, "Lou Shuban, this is a character from our Taoyuan Village, the fourth daughter of the Qin family."

Although people in the country are called by first name, but the little girl has not yet left the cabinet, and Zhou Li is seeing Lou Shu's office, so she doesn't like to introduce names to him.

Lou Shuban snorted, and looked at Xiuyao with wide eyes, "Tell me about that Fanmai."

Xiuyao saluted gracefully, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, and then spoke clearly and articulately.

Soon, the book office in the building interrupted her, "It's not right for the book office to look at you like this. Don't you all want to plant in spring and harvest in autumn? Why do you want to plant in summer? Isn't it too late? The northwest wind can't even drink it. "

Xiuyao looked at him as someone who was good at flattering the county lord. Although she had a few books in her stomach, they might not have real materials. She just listened to a little farming knowledge and began to point fingers at others.

She said loudly: "Lou Shuban, spring planting is naturally possible, but summer planting is not bad. In this way, we don't have to plant low-yield millet after harvesting wheat. It is a very good crop."

Lou Shuban disagreed and insisted on saying she was wrong.

Xiuyao stopped talking and let him mutter to himself.

Lou Shuban muttered to himself for a long time, seeing that Xiuyao didn't speak, he knew that she was a country girl, timid and unable to stand on the stage.

He said disdainfully: "Everyone is used to growing millet, why do you tell them not to plant millet and grow this wild wheat?" It was obviously a big mallet, and it still tasted rough if it insisted on pretending to be wheat.That day, in order to try it out, he specially asked the Qin family to deliver some cornmeal, but he found it was really not tasty after eating it.

It is really the food of the untouchables!

What made him even more upset was that Qin Dafu's family was very dishonest. They met him a few times and didn't show any sign of it.

Zhou Li was seeing him look down on others again, just like the previous days, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. A few days ago, he asked someone to come to him, but he didn't say a word to get rid of him.Two days later, I said like I wanted to ask Qin Xiuyao about Fanmai again, but when we met, I didn't even say a word and looked down on him.

Zhou Lizheng really doesn't like to be ashamed of following him, not to mention that you are a small clerk who doesn't even have a royal salary, a real lifelong pariah, and you use Joe all day long to pretend that you are the second master and the county magistrate.

If it weren't for the great importance of the Fanmai matter, the imperial court would have said that it would rely on it to create a prosperous scene without hunger and hunger, and benefit the people of Li.Zhou Lizheng was too lazy to lose this person with a book office.

The office of Lou Shu looked down upon him, but he had to do business. In the past few days, he was going to gather people from dozens of nearby villages to talk about Fanmai, and he still needed Xiuyao's help.

Xiuyao didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "Lou Shuban, I asked my brother and younger brothers to help me organize a booklet, why don't you show it to the Shuban, you can also promote it according to this."

When Lou Shuban heard that she didn't need you, you didn't seem to have that much respect for him, and he became more and more unhappy, so he snorted and said yes.

That booklet was prepared by Xiuyao for Gu Ning. It is more detailed and divided into items based on the previous one. It is clear at a glance how to cultivate seeds, prepare the soil, sow, nurse, and harvest.Besides, Xiuyao didn't keep any secrets at all, she felt that this was a good thing for everyone, so she wrote it in great detail, and even wrote the information about what crop rotation, intercropping, etc. it should be with.

Instead of saying that she was careful, Lou Shuban laughed at her long-windedness, and threw the scroll back to her, "Go, make another copy, and write down how to change the lives of the common people. I will talk about these rough work of farming later."

Xiuyao knew that he was trying to save face, and looked down on him more and more. The magistrate of the county even said that he wanted to publicize the benefits of fanmai and the method of growing fanmai, so that after the wheat was harvested, the court distributed the seeds of fanmai. That is to be planted directly.

The Loushu Office is here to talk about the details, and when there is a problem with the farming, he will never want to rely on her.

She said directly: "Lou Shuban, the little girl only knows how to farm, so how can she write any beautiful articles, or Lou Shuban, you have a brilliant literary talent, so you can catch the sword yourself."

The office of Lou Shu could not help being angry with her, and Zhou Lizheng and Ren Lizheng hurried to smooth things over. They knew Qin Xiuyao, but they were the ones who stared at the changes in the Liu family and the Qin family. Not only them, but also many farmers benefited from it. .

Those who couldn't afford to eat at first are now eating white noodles.

Moreover, for a little girl like her, the friendship with Master Qi, Young Master Gu, and the Feng family allowed the imperial court to build a pier at the gate of the Liu family mill, and lead the canal to the edge of the Qin family's self-cultivated field in Taoyuan village .

It can be seen that this little girl is amazing.

But both of them are good people, so they won't talk too much to Lou Shuban.

When Xiuyao got the tools her grandfather prepared for her, she asked Liu Fei to send them to her.

After returning home, without wasting time, she followed her previous plan to have someone dig a hole in the land originally reserved for self-reclamation.Soon the wine shop master that Old Liutou helped to find also arrived, and the master who was supposed to pay high wages, and Xiuyao's family treated people with respect and served them with good wine and food, so the master was naturally happy.

He felt comfortable receiving the courtesy, so he didn't hide his secrets, and personally led Qin Dafu and Qin Ye to Fenghuang Mountain to find soil.

"If you want to make an impermeable mud cellar, not all kinds of mud can be made, you have to find good ones. If you find the right soil, you don't need to repair the mud cellar all the time, just wipe it every year Twice is enough."

Seeing his sincerity, Qin Dafu's family was naturally more grateful. They listened carefully, entertained him well, and made an appointment to dig a few places in Shahe Village after finishing the work.

I have two places in my house, so that in the future, there will be enough fertilizer for crops, vegetables, melon fields, and orchards. I am not afraid of the situation that the good-growing crops will lose momentum due to insufficient fertilizer.

After working for more than [-] days, I basically got everything done, and then I did the finishing work later.

Qin Dafu and Lao Qintou went to see the wheat field, it will be ripe in a few days, and they are ready to pick up the farm tools and then harvest the wheat.

"Father, don't worry about your and mother's land. Yaoyao said that this year the wheat will also be harvested. Anyway, our family has rice paddies, so the land is not enough for one day."

Qin Dafu is living a happy life now, his sons and daughters are promising, his wife is caring for him, he is beautiful.

Old Qin hesitated for a moment, "Why don't you let the third child help you collect it?"

Qin Dafu immediately refused, "Father, he still wants someone to help him, so forget it if you still ask him."

The third eldest family is now in partnership with his brother-in-law, so they won't be with their brothers, unless their brothers help for nothing.

After what happened last year, Qin Dafu doesn't join in the fun anymore, he can let others say whatever they want, as long as he can feel at ease anyway.

Old Qintou said to ask the second child to help, so that the second child can make some money.

Qin Dafu persuaded him: "Father, what are you busy with, the second child knows everything by himself. Yaoyao has already given her a set of playthings for Er Dada. They can do it themselves, and the days will not be bad. In this hot day, Dad, your family is going to eat watermelon, drink tea, and get along with others, I will take care of these trivial matters for you, and I will never waste a single ear of wheat."

Seeing his eldest son being so filial, Old Qin was very happy, but he still felt a little regretful.

Of course, now he won't say it, and it's useless to say it.

Because the wheat is about to be harvested, the county has sent people to distribute the wheat seeds in the past few days, and it is agreed to return them after autumn.

Moreover, the imperial court also has welfare benefits. Those who grow wild wheat will have their rent halved after autumn.

But even so, there were not many people who made it clear that they wanted to plant, and the task couldn't be completed now, so Lou Shuban became anxious and went to Xiuyao's house to look for her in person.

Xiuyao is very busy now, she doesn't stay at home at all, either she is working in the self-cultivation field, or in the weaving workshop, or in Shahe village, where she arranges the prototype of an ecological farm according to local conditions.

Seeing that she was not enthusiastic, Lou Shuban used airs to suppress her, mainly because he wanted their family to give him a few hundred taels of silver.

As a result, Xiuyao saw through him right away, so she pretended to be suffering from heatstroke, pretended to faint, and almost made Lou Shuban bear the notoriety of oppressing the people with power. If he did it, they all clamored to go to the county government to sue him.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lou Shuban lost his arrogance, and instead had to be careful with him, and he no longer dared to think about asking for money.

But in the blink of an eye, when it was time to harvest wheat, Xiuyao would not waste her time dealing with him, she felt that the benefits of wheat could be seen by everyone anyway, so there was no need to talk about it.

Later, it was said that the tasks of the other clerks were almost completed, and Lou Shuban didn't say anything here, so he was in a hurry.

Not so early in the morning when he went to beg Qin Dafu, he seemed to be wiping away his tears. Qin Dafu was soft-hearted, and he thought it was good if he talked to him in a nice voice, not to mention that his eyes were a little red and begged him for help.

There was no way he could refuse!
Qin Dafu led Lou Shuban to the farm in Shahe Village, where Xiuyao was directing the construction of vegetable greenhouses and farms.

Seeing them coming, she wiped off her sweat, pulled off the white gauze hat from her head, and fanned the wind, "Father, Lou Shuban, what are you doing?"

The Lou Shu Office was about to cry, and hurriedly bowed, "Fourth Miss, you can't just ignore death, we haven't finished the task set by the county magistrate."
