Chapter 127 Rice Planting Methods

Chapter 127 Rice Planting Methods

The quilt cores they were given were made into quilt covers themselves, which were made of light-colored fine cotton. If they wanted to change to satin ones, they could do it themselves.

There is no silk in my house.

Because they had seen it before, they didn't open it.

Zheng Jinshu saw that there were two of them: "Could it be that there is another one, me?"

Shen Xia nodded: "Of course, yours can't be left out!"

After saying that, he picked up a bag and handed it to him.

Then she said to him, "I don't have the perfume yet. I'll give it to you when I have it."

The main reason is that I don’t have any ready-made men’s perfume at home.

Zheng Jinshu smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Shen can give it to me anytime."

"Let's go. It's almost time for dinner. Let's go to the backyard." Zheng Jinshu said and led the way.

At noon, the four of us had lunch together, and we basically didn't talk except for necessary conversations among ourselves.

Because I was afraid that my elder brother would be restrained.

So when Shen Xia was eating alone, she kept picking up food for her elder brother.

Zheng Jinshu joked: "You have a good relationship with your eldest brother."

Shen Xia glanced at Song Jiang: "Yeah, closer than my eldest brother."

Thinking about the original owner's elder brother, he was simply not a good person. However, judging from the surface, he should not be his biological elder brother, so it's okay.

But I am not keen on finding my family. I am not the original owner, and the people I find are not my family. So as long as I live a good life, that's enough.

Background isn't important.

During the meal, Gu Zizhan asked, "Did you forget about the food?"

Shen Xia looked at him and immediately retorted: "How is that possible? After I heard you say it for the first time, I paid attention to it when I got home."

"We also found a problem. It should be the method of planting that is wrong."

"should?"

"Of course it should! Experiments are the only criterion for testing the truth. If you want to get accurate results, you have to experiment step by step. I don't even have time to experiment, so how can I tell you for sure?"

"Can you believe me if I tell you so?"

Gu Zizhan stared into Shen Xia's eyes: "Dare."

This time it was Shen Xia who was surprised.

Brother, I don’t even dare to believe myself, how can you believe it?

This trust came so suddenly that I couldn't believe it.

Shen Xia smiled awkwardly: "Master Gu really flatters me too much."

Gu Zizhan did not respond to the original question, but asked: "You think there is something wrong with the planting method, then what method should be changed to planting?"

Shen Xia thought for a moment: "Rice seeds are now sown directly, so a field is densely packed with rice seedlings. This directly affects the rice yield. If we encounter bad weather, the yield will drop further."

Zheng Jinshu interrupted: "Hasn't this seedling been planted like this since ancient times?"

Shen Xia relaxed his shoulders: "So it's always low!"

Zheng Jinshu shut up.

Shen Xia continued, "Have you discovered the pattern of fruit trees bearing fruit?"

Gu Zizhan asked: "What rule?"

"If there are a lot of fruits in a year, the fruit must be small. If there are a few fruits in a year, the fruit must be big."

After Shen Xia finished speaking, everyone at the table fell into deep thought.

Gu Zizhan recalled that when he was in the capital, there were fruit trees in his yard.

It’s just that there are relatively few fruit trees in this remote mountain village, and no one cares about planting fruit trees.

But how did Shen Xia know that fruit trees follow this rule?

Could it be seen in the mountains?

Gu Zizhan listened to Shen Xia's words and nodded to show that he understood, but he still asked with some doubt: "Then how should we plant it?"

Shen Xia thought about it, and told Gu Zizhan in detail the planting methods she knew: "First, you have to raise the seedlings, and then pull them out after they grow out. Put three to five seedlings together as one plant, and then replant them in the field. Keep a certain distance between each plant horizontally and vertically. This way they will have enough space to grow taller and bigger."

She paused and added, "We can't plant them too densely like we plant rice. You'll squeeze me and I'll squeeze you, and then no one will grow well."

After hearing this, Zheng Jinshu nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's how it is!"

Shen Xia continued to explain: "This thing is not so clear when it is described verbally. If you want to see its growth and planting techniques with your own eyes, it is best to find a place to plant it half a month in advance next year."

"Then invite the village heads to come and learn. After they have learned, they can go back to teach the villagers in their own village. In this way, we will be able to see the results with our own eyes next year." After saying this, she looked at Gu Zizhan with anticipation in her eyes.

Everyone at the table understood, and then everyone started eating seriously.

After the meal, everyone drank tea together. It was a habit for people at this time to drink tea after a meal.

I don't have any opinion.

Why is this tea so unpalatable?

Gu Zizhan looked at Shen Xia's frowning brows and said, "Why, this tea doesn't suit your taste?"

Zheng Jinshu was stunned. Zizhan's tea was not something that ordinary people could drink even in the capital.

Sister Shen can’t appreciate tea?

Yes, Sister Shen probably doesn’t know much about tea and she definitely has never drunk it before.

Shen Xia looked at Gu Zizhan looking at her: "It's okay, maybe he's not used to this taste."

Gu Zizhan: "Oh, okay!"

Finally I've finished this unpalatable tea and can get down to business.

His ox cart was parked at the county government office because the government office had horse-drawn carriages.

As soon as he went out, he saw Gu Zizhan following him: "My lord, you don't have any cases to deal with this afternoon. Brother Zheng can just go and arrange this kind of small matter. Why bother my lord to run again?"

Does Shen Xia just think that this adult is so idle?

Or maybe you are too capable. You do everything by yourself. Wouldn't it be good to have someone to order you around?

As a result, I saw that I had finished speaking.

His face darkened.

no!

Brother, I just think it’s so hot outside now, wouldn’t it be better not to go out?

I care about you too?

I don’t even believe what I said.

Shen Xia said quickly: "It's mainly because the weather is so hot, and you still do everything yourself. You are really the parent official of the people!"

Gu Zizhan glanced at her without saying a word, then walked to the front of the car and got in.

Zheng Jinshu smiled and said, "Sister Shen, let's go!"

Shen Xia: "Haha—let's go!"

It was my first time riding in a horse-drawn carriage. After I got on, I looked left and right.

A horse-drawn carriage is still better!

It is suitable for people to sit in, while ox cart is only suitable for pulling goods.

Shen Xia looked at Song Jiang and said, "Brother, when our yard is repaired, we can also get a carriage, okay?"

Song Jiang nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Xia Xia."

Shen Xia asked Zheng Jinshu in confusion: "Brother Zheng, how much is this carriage?"

Zheng Jinshu was puzzled: "Are you talking about this one?"

Shen Xia knew the price was high when she saw Zheng Jinshu's puzzled expression. Then she thought that this might have something to do with the horse.

Just look at this horse, and you can tell it’s no ordinary one.

Then he asked again: "How much does a normal horse-drawn carriage in the county cost?"

Zheng Jinshu thought, it turns out that his sister likes horse-drawn carriages, and he now knows what's going on.

"Generally, it's more than one hundred taels."

"Oh well."

Gu Zizhan watched them talking from the side.

Why does she ask Zheng Jinshu about everything?

Is it that I don't look as educated as Zheng Jinshu, or what?
