Chapter 190 Mature
What happened during the time of boiling silkworms caused Gu to have the idea of ​​learning weaving. Gu didn't say anything, and Gu Qingya didn't bother to ask. She planned to quietly ask Liu Bingbing if she knew something.

But it's a pity that Liu Bingbing couldn't tell why. The silkworm room she was assigned was far away from Gu's place. It was already very rare to see her once a day, let alone say something. Everyone was busy boiling silkworms, and didn't care about other things, so I don't know.

Gu Qingya was a little disappointed, she couldn't know the real reason, she could only guess that the Wu family would definitely not embarrass the Gu family, so they were from the Qin family?

This possibility is still very high. People in Fucheng will always have a feeling of being superior to people in other places, let alone in a big family like the Qin family. Naturally, their eyes are higher than the top. It is unwilling.

Even though Gu Shi has learned a lot of secrets and methods of being under the imperial court temporarily, but he can't stand up to other people's messy tricks, and the Wu family will not catch their mistakes. It is very easy to make Gu Shi uncomfortable.

Moreover, Gu's character is not someone who cares about everything, it must be that those people said something too much, but on the other hand, it might be a good thing to change.

The days are as usual, ordinary and dull. Through Zangshuge, Gu Qingya has already found out the names of several new crops. Except for corn, the one that climbs vines is watermelon. She has actually seen all the others, but they are just varieties. Different, the appearance is too different.

As soon as Gu Shi came back, Gu Qingya had fewer chances to enter the vegetable garden. It is called watermelon on the Cangshu Pavilion, but it is actually called green skin melon. Few people grow it in Sanhua County, and few sell it. The main reason is that it is expensive. Look at it. If this melon grows well, I can make a small fortune this year.

But when the flowers bloom and bear fruit, everything will be obvious. The experienced Yan Fu and Gu Shi can tell the difference, and they are not disappointed. They are also beans, and they have to be divided into sizes.

At the time of the summer harvest in June, I received letters from Jiang Rongan and Yan Qinghe. This time, I brought a lot of sun-dried seafood with a strong fishy smell, which I was not used to.

The letter said that Jiang Rong'an was going to participate in Qiu Wei, and Yan Qinghe would accompany him, but the examination venue was not in Xiangyang Mansion, but in Xizhou Mansion next door, which is a more prosperous city.

Gu Shi didn't know the exact time of Qiu Wei, so he asked Xia Yan's father, and found out that it was in the middle of August, "For such an important matter, I will find a time to take Qingya to pay my respects and ask for support. sign."

Father Yan nodded, "We asked someone to do the work in the field quickly. I always feel uneasy about those in the vegetable garden."

Originally, Gu Shi couldn't bear to part with those double-robbed wages, but the vegetable garden was indeed worrying.After roughly identifying the variety, they reported it to the county magistrate. It can be said that nothing is as important and special as corn.

Therefore, except for corn, the other Yan family can dispose of it by themselves.

When the different varieties of fruits and vegetables matured one after another, some were given to the county government and the Wu family. For the rest, the east family wanted some, and the west family wanted some. I didn't eat much, but the varieties were different. The taste is also different, but many people ask for seeds in advance.

Gu Qingya watched the corn stalks gradually turn from emerald green to blue-yellow, and the stalks became stronger and stronger, she really wanted to break them to taste, but the county government sent yamen servants to count them, Can't move at all.

But the corn stalks are tall and special, and I don't know how to pass them on. From the beginning of the results, some people came to see them as a surprise. As a last resort, Yan's father went to someone to ask for two dogs to come back and guard them specially.

If there are too many people, there will be miscellaneous ones. Father Yan has already found several loafers. When he felt that the corn could be picked, he notified the county government, asked the head of the village, and arranged some people to guard in shifts, so as not to let people The hole was drilled.

However, the county magistrate said that the plants should be picked when they are half-dry, because the weight can be seen the most. As a last resort, the guards had to continue.

"Father, come and see, some corn has been eaten by mice." In the morning, I went to the vegetable garden as usual to check what happened, but I found some fine things on the ground. After being peeled off, most of the particles inside disappeared.

The guards outside didn't expect to guard against animals. Last night, they heard a dog barking, but they didn't think much about it. They didn't expect it to be a mouse with such a bright nose.

"This is the fruit, it looks really different."

"That's right, I don't know how it tastes. It looks quite big. I think I'll be full after eating two or three."

"It's a pity, how much is it worth to let the rats harm you?"

The guards talked a lot, with curiosity mixed with distress on their faces, rare things can always be sold at high prices.

Father Yan went up to look and found that rats were indeed the scourge. Fortunately, there were no more than ten of them, so he hurriedly called someone to report to the county government.

The county magistrate personally brought people over, as well as a few empty cars, and the yamen servants were even more neatly dressed, giving people an intimidating atmosphere that made people dare not act rashly.

The county magistrate walked around, asked Yan's father a few words, and asked the yamen servants to do it, directly pulled up the whole tree, piled it together, and then broke it one by one.

The county magistrate peeled one open by himself, and the corn grains inside were neatly arranged and tightly pressed, and it was quite heavy to hold in his hand.

He brought the peeled corn husks to the horse, and the horse gnawed it without any hesitation. Looking at the other horses, they seemed to be very interested in the food in front of them.

However, the county magistrate did not remove all the corn, leaving behind three thinner plants, "Yan Mu, I will firmly remember the credit you have made."

Father Yan looked at the three plants on the ground, and there were only ten corncobs on them, big and small, and looked at the eyes of other people, and hurriedly moved into the house, making up his mind that these people would not let go of what they said.

"Hey, Father Qinghe, don't be stingy, at least let us have a taste!"

"We don't ask for anything, you should leave two seeds for my family anyway."

"Father Qinghe, we have been guarding for several days and nights. If there is no credit, there must be hard work. Give me a few seeds."

The people present were noisy, clamoring for seeds. Everyone did not expect that the county magistrate would keep so few, and even the plants were moved away together, so they could only focus on the three remaining trees.

Seeing this, the chief said, "Don't make any noise. It depends on how the county magistrate handles it. Maybe everyone can get the seeds. Yan Mu's family doesn't have many, so don't stare at them."

"The head of the village, what's the matter, the magistrate of the county can divide the seeds?" Many people grasped this point and started asking after the head of the village.

"This is my guess. After all, Yan Mu's family planted too few of them. It is not easy to calculate the yield per mu. I think everyone should perform well, and maybe they can grow more seeds." The seeds are also in Lichang's hands. It's up to him to distribute them to whom and how much to distribute, but how can the villagers think so deeply.
