The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 217 Development
The seedlings that had just been planted were lifeless and lifeless, and the people around were waiting to see the little girl cry!They didn't think the seedling would survive.

However, only Su Ling knows that such a situation is normal, but there will be a period of adaptation for the transplantation of that kind of plant, after which it will definitely come back full of vitality.

Sure enough, after a few days, those seedlings that seemed to be dying rose up again one by one, full of vitality.

Of course, the crops nearby have been paying attention to Su Ling's planting. After seeing these seedlings, they feel very incredible. After that, they will stop every time they pass by Su Ling's ten-acre paddy field. The more they look, the more they feel that these seedlings are growing. I want to see how their harvest is this year. Good seedlings do not mean that the harvest will be good. If their harvest is good, they can consider planting like them in the coming year. Of course, these Su Lings are not You will know that after the seedlings came back to life, Su Ling took a few bags of rice seeds back to Qingshi Town.

There are very few people in the north who grow rice. The weather is too cold. Some people have tried it before. The seedlings have grown, but there are no ears of rice, and I have not tried it alone, so no one will send rice to the north over time. After planting, in their cognition, they think that rice can only survive and form ears of rice in the south.

Only Su Ling is very clear about the reason why rice can grow in the north but cannot produce ears of rice. It is because the growth of rice is closely related to the weather and the amount of sunshine. Of course, if she explained the amount of sunshine to an ancient person, no one would understand. , and thought she was crazy, they couldn't understand photosynthesis, so Su Ling could only use examples to prove that rice can grow in the north and form ears of rice.

She also consulted those who wanted to introduce rice to the north, and knew that their planting methods were completely in accordance with those in the south, even the time was the same.

March in the south is already warm, which is suitable for the growth of rice. At the end of May and the beginning of June, when the sun shines directly on the south, there will be sunlight, and the rice in the south will of course be able to form ears of rice.

However, the weather in March in the north is still relatively cold, and the rice cannot withstand the freezing damage at all, and the seedlings that can survive the freezing damage will not be able to form ears of rice in June due to insufficient sunlight.

The grain seeds brought back from Tongnan, from soaking to seedlings, were done by Su Ling herself, without the hands of others, which fully demonstrated her determination to cultivate rice in the north this time.

The first batch of sweet potato seedlings has also grown, perhaps because of the weather, it does not look so green, but this batch is only a small part, and the Su family will plant and test it by themselves to see if it can be planted in a year. Planted twice, but Master Xuanyuan attaches great importance to this experiment, he also accompanied him in the field on the day of planting, and even went to the field to test planting himself, looking at the large piece of sweet potato seedlings that went down, you can see it The appearance of harvest time.

Su's father is very busy, really busy, maybe because he has more contacts with various officials, and his vision has broadened a lot. The family's lotus pond fish pond farm is inseparable from people. Last year, these few things had a good harvest. This year, Su's father hired people to dig the undeveloped depressions into fish ponds and ponds, planning to expand the planting. Many people nearby saw that the Su family's fish ponds and ponds had made money, and they were envious, and followed the Su family's plan. Father Su is not a stingy person when it comes to planting, and he is willing to say it when someone comes to ask him, but it is stipulated that the things planted in the future must be sold to the Su family first, this is Su Ling's order, Su Ling has already planned to chain Su Ji To drive to every town in the country, in this case, there must be enough resources, but it is obviously not enough to rely on the production of one's own family, so I set my sights on the villagers.

Of course, Su Ling didn't just do it as she said, she also planned carefully and made a detailed plan, so that the important matters related to the interests of Yu villagers would of course have to be discussed with the village chief.

The Su family invited the village head, and the village head knew that the Su family was no longer what it used to be. Even Mr. Fei wanted to give the Su family face, and those high-ranking officials from Kyoto would stay at Su Ling's house from time to time. , so when he knew Father Su was invited, he immediately came over.

Although this plan was thought up by Su Ling, she is still just a little girl in the eyes of the villagers. People in the village believe that the rise of the Su family is more or less related to Su Dong, and it is inseparable from Su's father's hard work. But no one thought about Su Ling.So this plan was also clarified by Su Dong to the village chief, and Su Ling watched from the sidelines and did not participate.

When the village head knew that the Su family had made such a plan, he was obviously shocked. Although the ancients were not bad-hearted, it is really rare for people who can spare no effort to help others like the Su family. In this plan Almost every one of them is good for the villagers, from promoting sweet potatoes to helping them develop planting, and now helping them dig fish ponds and lotus ponds. Isn’t this sending money into the villagers’ pockets!The village head agreed to such a plan without much thought.

Of course, the Su family didn't help them for free. They still need to consider the character of their partners. Like those rascals, they don't dare to say that they help them with planting. Silver is miserable.

With a detailed plan and the persuasion of the village head, many villagers are eager to try it. After hearing the news, Uncle Li and Su Youjia were the first to come to Father Su to find out the news. The two families made a decision immediately. It is necessary to dig fish ponds like the Su family for farming.

Many of the villagers also have the same idea, but due to their limited pockets, they are afraid that there will be no lotus root seeds for planting at that time, and they don't know where to get the fish fry.

Fortunately, Su Ling has specifically stated that if the money is not enough, you can borrow it from the Su family. When the harvest is over, the finished product will be sold to their family, and the money borrowed will be deducted from it. This will solve this problem very well.

Even so, there are still many families who can't catch up with the time. Su Ling also said, "Don't worry, everyone, there are other ways to catch up with the planting. I have already made a detailed plan for our villagers to get rich. Even if the family can’t dig fish ponds or lotus ponds, there are other ways, everyone, wait for a while, I will inform everyone.”

Of course, Su Ling didn't just say this casually. She already had a detailed plan for planting. For those who can't keep up with the excavation of fish ponds and lotus ponds, Su Ling plans to let them cultivate fungus and shiitake mushrooms. These two tasks are simple. Some, and the money came quickly. It just so happened that the products could also be sold at Suji.

Two days later, when the village chief announced the news to everyone again, the people of Huaxi Village were all excited. Of course they knew what fungus and shiitake mushrooms were, but they had only heard about them and had never eaten them. It is said that they are sold in Tianyue Restaurant , and the ones that are sold are very expensive, how can ordinary people like them afford them, but now, I didn't expect them to be able to grow them.
