Happy Wife Ying Ying

Chapter 171 The Joy of Harvest

Yingruo sat back on the stool dejectedly, "How did this happen? Yes! He couldn't help himself! He must have been forced. The emperor made a decree, how could he say no? But he was going to prepare Qiu Wei Yes, now, can I still participate in the scientific examination?"

Guo Ruijin said: "What's wrong with earning a share of Conglong's merits? People who can be selected as companions must be promising people who are favored by the emperor. So, this may not be a good thing."

Yingruo pouted, "Then you must have your life first! Brother Guangyu has always been a man of stability, why did you gamble your life?"

Seeing her like this, Guo Ruijin was not in the mood to eat anymore, and he felt a little regretful when he told the truth to himself. "Ever since he boarded the An family's boat, and since he was born with concubine Liu Gui, his life has been taken into consideration by the Cui family. Isn't the assassination on the Dragon Boat Festival a better example? So, why not give it a go?"

Ying Ruoming knew that what he said was reasonable, but she still felt uncomfortable.

She didn't understand men's desire for rights, but she knew that many people lost their lives for it.

Yingruo's depressed mood lasted for several days, neither Mrs. Xie, Chu Qiaoruo nor Mrs. Yue took it to heart, only that she was reluctant to part with Chu Zijiu.Thinking about letting it go will pass.

Yingruo's long and short sighs stopped at the harvest of peanuts.

From the end of July to the beginning of August in the lunar calendar, it is finally the season for shavings.

Yingruo put aside her unfounded worries for the time being, and threw herself into harvesting peanuts in full swing.

Naturally, Nanxin Village has more than [-] mu of land, and the rest of the land is planted with sorghum, corn, and soybeans.

Not to mention Nanxin Village, almost all of Yulan County is planted with these crops.

In addition, due to the hot peanut oil in the city, the peanut shavings in Nanxinzhuang attracted people from all over the world to watch.

In fact, from the beginning of planting peanuts to the later growth process, they have attracted a lot of attention.Of course, most people are not optimistic.

They all felt that [-]% of the [-] mu of harvest would be lost.

Now, when it came time to verify the results, the occasion was naturally unprecedented.

The first ones were planed on the ridge, because the soil was sandy and could not hold water, so the leaves of the peanuts were the first to wither.

Go down one end, and the peanuts are unearthed.The two plants side by side have intertwined roots and are no longer connected to each other.Counting two kernels of peanuts, there are more than a dozen.

If it is full of joy, in the era when there is no mulch, it is already a good harvest to end these.

Yingruo happily picked it up, presented it in front of Mrs. Yue and Mrs. Xie, and peeled off the kernels diligently, "Taste it quickly! See if it's delicious!"

Xie looked disgusted, "How can this be eaten?"

Yingruo said: "You can eat it! I read in the book that eating peanuts has many benefits! These peanuts are not only delicious when cooked, they are also delicious when eaten raw. Waiting for this piece of peanuts After they are all planed, let them cook a few pots. At that time, distribute it around, and everyone who sees it will have a share, and they will taste it."

"Then I'll try it first!" Mrs. Yue said with a smile.

Mrs. Xie wanted to stop her, "With her little dirty hands, you should stop being bewitched by her."

Mrs. Yue gave her a sideways look, "If you don't clean, you won't get sick if you eat it. Where is her hand dirty? It's just a little dirt, what's wrong with eating a little dirt? It's still earthy!"

Xie Shi choked.

Mrs. Yue squeezed a grain out of Yingruo's hand, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.People who are old have weak teeth.

Ying Ruo looked over expectantly.

Madam Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, "A Lin, you should try it too. It's really fragrant and sweet, not bad!" Then she squeezed another grain from Yingruo's hand.

Xie said: "You can always indulge her!"

Mrs. Yue said: "Xiang Niang, don't hold it in a non-human way. Try it! It's really good."

Xie Shi didn't dare to be pretentious, he peeled a peanut by himself, and put two peanut kernels into his mouth together.Although no appreciation was given, the expression was still very enjoyable.

Yingruo's small mouth is not idle, and her small hands are also very agile.

Mrs. Yue recalled what she said before, and asked curiously: "Why wait until the peanuts are planed and then boil them for people to satisfy their hunger?"

Yingruo rolled her eyes, "Auntie, our [-] mu of land is not fenced. If we give them sweets before the peanuts are planed, I'm afraid that all the peanuts in the field will be stolen."

Mrs. Yue laughed loudly, "You are so clever!"

Nanny Lin also laughed, "It is necessary to be defensive, this is very good."

Chu Qiaoruo said: "Yingying is very strict about her own things. I'm afraid she has a little thought for sharing it with everyone so generously!"

Yingruo raised her eyebrows, "Is there? Sister, are you thinking too much?"

Chu Qiaoruo smiled, "Peanut oil is in short supply now, and the production workshop can be expanded at will, but peanuts are very scarce. Now you can't wait for the whole Yulan County to grow peanuts. So, you want to give some sweets to the people who come to see the fun. You'd better drive and let them plant together."

Mrs. Yue hummed, "It seems like this girl's little thought."

Ying Ruo pursed her lips, "Just because the peanut oil is sold at the price of gold, do I still need to beg them to plant next year's peanuts? You are too underestimating my layout. The output value of the [-] acres of land , will inevitably become a myth. I’m afraid that by then, it will be impossible to stop them from planting.”

Madam Yue laughed again.

Mrs. Xie is not so optimistic, "What to plant and what not to plant, in fact, it is not up to the farmers themselves. The owner of the land must agree."

Yingruo was a little frustrated, and she forgot that this is not the modern era of land-to-household distribution.It was the feudal era with the monopoly of landlords.

"Shen Laosi spread the stall so big, why?" Mrs. Yue said slowly, "Don't worry about Yingying! Those country gentry and landlords have sharp noses! You planted these [-] acres. After Peanut makes a lot of money, they will definitely be moved by the wind."

Yingruo didn't worry about this, but she was not worth it for the hard-working farmers. After a year of hard work, didn't she make wedding clothes for others?

But this is a social issue after all, and it cannot be shaken by her.

Let her do what she can!

"I know, auntie! Then let's roll up our sleeves and work harder!"

"Very good!" Mrs. Yue was eager to try.

Mrs. Xie wanted to go up to stop her, but Nanny Lin shook her head at her.

Mrs. Yue said: "When people get old, they have to move more and more. Always lying or sitting, no matter how good the bone frame is, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Yingruo gave her a thumbs up, "Everything my aunt said is right!"

If this old lady sums up "life lies in exercise", I'm afraid she will become everyone.

　The second treasure made trouble again at night, it was too frustrating, woo woo. . . . . .Today's update is late, alas!
