"Master Hou, that's yours..."
Lunzi was still pointing at Xiao Lian who was walking towards the well and asked stupidly, but before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Han pinched him hard on the waist, almost making Lunzi jump up from the pinch!
After pinching the fool, Xiao Han quickly turned around and walked out. Nonsense, why are you still here if you don't leave now? It's better to pretend not to know, but wouldn't it be more embarrassing if you don't point it out clearly? !
"Ahem, didn't you say you were going to see the food today? It's getting late, let's go quickly!" Xiao Han walked out while making random excuses for himself.
"Ouch... it hurts! Mr. Hou, please pinch me..." The idiot clutched the soft flesh around his waist tightly and wanted to mutter. I saw Xiao Han seemed to extend his Nine Yin White Bone Claw again! His neck immediately shrank, and he didn't dare to say any more nonsense.
He left the backyard as if running away and ran to the front to find Old Feng. He was dragged by Old Feng to have some rice porridge for breakfast, and then they set off in the car together.
Seeing the donkey with rabbit ears about to go out, Lao Feng's little grandson also wanted to follow him with tears in his eyes. Lao Feng's training had no effect, so he had no choice but to accuse him and take him with him.
Lao Feng's family didn't have many big animals, so there were only two donkey carts including Xiao Han's.
The other people had no choice but to follow on the ground, and the journey slowed down.
Moreover, Lao Feng's own carriage was so broken that it almost fell apart when he followed it. He didn't even dare to go any faster! The walk was actually three minutes slower than walking, but such a leisurely journey was exactly what Xiao Han wanted.
At this time, it is already the beginning of autumn.
The weather has become a little colder in the morning and evening. Even at noon, it is no longer as hot as before. It is so hot that people have nowhere to hide and just want to bury their heads in the water.
The unrepaired roads in the countryside were full of potholes. Xiao Han leaned in the carriage, swinging as the carriage swayed, and then watched Lao Feng's grandson cheering as he grabbed a big grasshopper from the grass on the side of the road and ran to Lao Feng. He offered a treasure in front of him, and after a while he picked a handful of tender fresh grass and fed it to Xiaoqi. I thought that a world without the roar of machines and pollution from factories would be great.
Just walking leisurely all the way, it took almost an hour to finally reach the rice field.
But to be honest, there’s really nothing to see in the rice fields! Wherever this kind of rice goes now, it is extremely rare! The farmer who was lucky enough to share the eggs wanted to hold them and sleep with them at night. He took care of them more carefully than he took care of me. How could there be a problem?
Therefore, instead of Xiao Han going to see the rice, it is better to say that Xiao Han went there to be watched by others.
No, when Xiao Han got out of the car at the end of the field, farmers immediately came around to greet him!
Yan Yun thanked Xiao Han for distributing such good seeds to everyone, and no one dared to forget this for several lifetimes. He also said that after a good harvest, he would definitely build a shrine for Xiao Han to express his great gratitude!
There were quite a lot of people around, and it was estimated that everyone living nearby might have abandoned their lives and come here.
When Lao Feng saw this, he hurriedly scolded everyone away with a dark face, leaving only a few people guarding the rice fields. Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief. Being complimented was also a very tiring thing.
After the people dispersed, Xiao Han and Lao Feng stood on the ridge of the field and looked up: all the ordinary grain in the rice fields in the distance had turned yellow, only the large area of new grain in front of them was just glowing with light green. The two incongruous colors come together, creating an indescribable feeling.
The green rice is growing very well. Perhaps because there has not been much cultivation here before, the fertility is even better than that of Xiao Han. Several overturned trucks in the distance are resting on the ground, as if they are ready to replenish the ground with water at any time. .
"Well, not bad! You put your heart into it!"
He squatted down, grabbed a rice plant in the field and lifted it. The rice was not even lifted up, and it looked like it had taken root very firmly. Looking at the leaf surface again, there were no insects on it. Even Xiao Han couldn't help but praise it.
When an old farmer accompanying him heard Xiao Han's praise, the wrinkles on his face seemed to spread with joy. He bowed his hands respectfully to Xiao Han and said, "In response to Mr. Hou, this kind of rice is different from what we grew before. It’s really different! Not only does it grow fast, but the roots also penetrate deeply! It can also resist pests and I heard the yield is high, it’s a kind of magical food!”
"What? The Monkey Lord is here?" Xiao Han didn't hear what the old farmer said behind him. He only heard such a strange name. He couldn't help but look at the old farmer in surprise, wondering if it was Sun Wukong who was here?
Seeing Xiao Han's surprise, Lao Feng stood up and explained to him with a smile: "It's not Mr. Monkey who arrived, but Mr. Hou's rice! This is how people here remember that it was Mr. Hou who brought them good things. Seeds, I specially named these new grains Houye Rice, you just misunderstood!"
"Oh..." Xiao Han burst out laughing when he heard this!
I don’t know which idler did this. Why is the name the same as the name of the wine?
When it comes to harvesting grain in the future, if I tell the Lord to harvest the rice, should I cry or laugh? But thinking about it again, it's fortunate to be called Hou Yedao. It would be even greater fun if Xiao Han was called.
Old Feng looked at Xiao Han and shook his head with a bitter smile. He thought he was not satisfied with the name. Just as he was about to come over and explain a few more words, he saw Xiao Han stand up and clapped his hands and said:
"Hey, let him name it whatever he wants! But nothing is perfect in this world! This rice grows well, but it must be very labor intensive! In addition, our temperature cannot keep up with the place where they originate. So if you want to grow them well, in addition to adding fertilizer, you must also choose another place! You can’t just put them here.”
Lao Feng seemed to have expected this and was not nervous. He just nodded while stroking his beard.
He had heard from Ren Qing how great this rice was when it was grown in Linyi, and he also saw it later in the summer when it was harvested here! Although it was also very abundant, it was far from as shocking as what Ren Qing said. At that time, he knew that this was just an experimental site for this kind of rice, and the real planting site was not here.
"Master Marquis, where do you think it is more suitable to plant rice?" Old Feng Ditou thought for a while and suddenly asked Xiao Han.
Xiao Han said nothing, but looked eastward along the ditch not far away.
It's not that he just lives on his salary and doesn't work these days. In fact, as early as when the three-season rice matured for the first time, he and Ren Qing sorted out the growth cycle and habits of this new grain.
Once the three-crop rice in his own land matures, he can roughly deduce the impact of temperature and region on its yield and growth cycle by comparing the two phases.
To Xiao Han, this kind of talk about inferring unknown things from the known is just child's play, but to Ren Qing, the shock is tantamount to opening the door to a new knowledge!
I still remember that Ren Qing looked like a primary school student with excessive curiosity when he saw the form for the first time! I took Xiao Han to study all night long!
The two of them kept listing all the known favorable conditions and discussed for a long time before finally deciding that Yueyang and Guangzhou further south were the best places to grow three-season rice!
After all, Xiao Han is no stranger to these two places. After all, the proverb that Huguang is familiar with and the world is full has been used for hundreds of years after the Ming Dynasty!
Just by looking at the map, you can see that these two places are absolutely unique in terms of food!
Further south, there may be places more suitable for the growth of three-season rice, but transportation is difficult!
There are only two places, one is close to the Yangtze River, and the other faces the sea! After all, water transport is definitely hundreds of times better than horse-drawn transport!
