Chapter 340

Wang Yamen servant nodded, "What I said is that seeds are good on the one hand, but on the other hand, you have to put your heart into farming."

"What Master Wang said is true." Liu Zhijiang smiled, weighed his family's grain, took the bag, and pushed the cart away.

Two thousand catties of grain are fully loaded into four carts.

After collecting these taxes and grains, the servant of the Wang Yamen dismissed his work and went back, but he also remembered Liu Zhijiang in Liujia Village. When he was free, he went to have a look and try to get hundreds of catties of wheat seeds.

Seeing that the granary at home was full, the Liu family was very happy.

There is food at home, so don't panic.

Finally, I don't have to eat porridge every day. Although I can't talk about a meal of rice and white noodles now, I can always eat enough.

Now that the fields have been irrigated with water, the old man Liu led his children and grandchildren to level the land, and then spread the rice seeds in the fields.

Wearing a straw hat, Liu Yiyi felt a little worried when she saw her family planting rice like this.

Although such a method of planting rice has omitted the process of seedling raising and transplanting, the yield is not high, and it is difficult to pull weeds, so it is unmanageable.

In addition, it is very wasteful of rice seeds and difficult to manage.

If it is for seedling cultivation and transplanting, not only the rice seeds are saved and easy to manage, in addition, fish can also be raised in the rice fields!

However, all of this is because she is too young to speak out, let alone act, so let's wait until she grows up.

This year's piglets are growing very well, maybe two to three hundred catties can be raised within a year; the old sow is pregnant again, and there will be another litter of piglets in the family in a month.

The number of chickens and ducks at home has doubled compared with last year, and the egg production has also increased.Not only do they eat it at home, but they also sell it. They can earn three taels of silver from chickens and ducks in a month.

In the past, the Liu family didn't even dare to think about it.

Without Liu Yiyi's means, the survival rate of the chickens and ducks at home would not be so high, and the eggs would not be larger than ordinary eggs, let alone taste better than ordinary eggs.

Every time Mrs. Liu sells eggs and duck eggs, she is very happy, and the eyes she looks at Liu Yiyi become softer.

The days at home used to be miserable.

But after the little granddaughter came, she raised chickens and ducks, and earned more than a dozen taels of silver last year, and this year is even better, with an income of three taels of silver every month.

Not to mention the big fat pigs in the pigsty, the rice and wheat in the granary, and the five mud-brick houses over there, the wing rooms on both sides are also very spacious, and they are getting more and more prosperous.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu can wake up with a smile in her dreams, and her life is getting better and better.

Not only Mrs. Liu thinks this way, but other members of the Liu family also think so.

Every morning when he wakes up, Old Man Liu will go to the backyard to look at the pigsty, chicken coop, and duck coop, and then go to the big yard next door, the big house...

Every household in Liujia Village has planted rice seeds from Old Man Liu's family. They will follow what Liu's family does, and even do better than Liu's family.

The rice at home is growing very well, which is very gratifying.

But compared with the rice at Old Man Liu's house, I always feel that something is missing, but I can't tell.Even so, the villagers were very satisfied and worked harder in the fields.

The busyness of a summer has sunburned the farmers, and at the same time it is the harvest time in golden autumn and October.

The people in Liujia Village were very excited, especially because the ears of rice in the field were heavy, full of grains, and big. The villagers had already foreseen that today would be a bumper harvest year and the warehouses would be full of rice.

The villagers are busy harvesting rice and dragging it to the threshing ground.

There are many books in Liu Yiyi's space, many of which are stored by Shen Bingzhu.

When Liu Yiyi was free, she would go in and have a look. On a bookshelf of agriculture, she found handmade farm tools. There was a kind of farm tools in it, which could be threshed directly in the field by using pedals.

Although the speed is not as fast as electric, it is much lighter and more efficient than laboriously transporting these rice connecting rods to the threshing field.

It's just that now that she is still young, there is no reason to do this at all.

Liu Yiyi had no choice but to give up in order to keep it safe and secure.

Although there was a rain in the middle, we prepared enough tarpaulins to cover the rice that hadn't been dried yet.

After the rice was dried, every household began to weigh the grain.

Liu Yiyi's family's rice yield is 480 catties per mu, and the villagers who use Liu Yiyi's rice seeds have a good harvest, none of which is less than 450 catties, and even as much as [-] catties per mu.

This kind of harvest is more than 100 catties more than last year, and the family has a few acres of land, which is a few hundred catties more, and a lot more rations.

A family like Patriarch Liu with 16 mu of land would have an extra [-] catties of grain, and a catty of rice for four Wenqian would earn [-] taels of silver more.

For a while, the old man Liu's house became the focus of discussion in Liujia Village.

Although their own rice is also good, but Liu Yiyi's family has the highest yield, so the villagers headed by patriarch Liu have carried rice to Liu Yiyi's house to exchange rice seeds.

The country people also have a rule, one and a half catties of rice is exchanged for one catty of rice seeds, so every family comes to exchange, even Liu Chengpeng sent his son to exchange.

Last year, he was rejected by Old Man Liu because he directly asked for rice seeds.

Liu Chengpeng didn't come to Liu Yiyi's house to buy rice seeds, he used the ones left by his family.

But this year's harvest made him dumbfounded.

His rice is still about [-] catties, but the rice of the villagers is more than [-] catties.

This time he sent his son to carry a bag of rice to exchange for rice seeds.

"Second Uncle, your family's rice seeds are good, and my family will come to exchange some." Liu Zhiming said with a smile, just a naughty face, and he had long forgotten the ugly quarrel between the two families before.

Maybe even if people remember it, but now they want to take advantage of it, they won't talk about the original discord.

Old man Liu nodded, "Zhijiang, get me a bag of seeds and go back."

Hearing this, Liu Zhijiang knew that his father didn't want to worry so much, so he went to the granary and bought a sack of rice.

"Thank you, Brother Zhijiang." Liu Zhiming was overjoyed. He thought he could only exchange half a sack, but unexpectedly, he changed a whole sack.

What made Liu Zhiming even more happy was that no one opened the sack he carried, and the rice in it was not very good...

Seeing Liu Zhiming's eyes rolling, Liu Yiyi guessed that there might be something wrong in the sack, and then whispered to Second Aunt, "Second Aunt, I just passed by that sack, and there was a musty smell in it. Won't the food go bad?"

When Wu Xiao'e heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and walked over quickly, opening the sack while sniffling, "Why do I smell a bad smell!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the musty smell became stronger.

It's just that the rice on the top is intact, so there must be something wrong below, so Wu Xiao'e pushed it directly into the sack, and then the rice inside poured out.
