"Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, as long as you are willing to teach us the secrets, just raise the conditions. As long as Li Zheng and I can do it, we will definitely agree!" the patriarch said eagerly.
Xu Yin waved her hand: "There's no mystery. It's actually very simple."
Xu Yin does not intend to make money from the retting method.
In a lower-class society with low productivity, improving organic fertilizers can help everyone eat as much as possible. Why not?
She led the two of them to the backyard and told them several key points of retting.
After listening, the two little old men Li Zheng and the clan leader looked at each other: so simple?
"It's that simple." Xu Yin said with a smile, "I also discovered it accidentally. After a certain period of time, the smell of compost fades away, but the fertility is stronger. Uncle Dawang was the first to learn retting from me. His family this year The harvest will definitely not be bad.”
"Okay, okay!" Li Zheng said three times in a row, stroking his gray beard.
"Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, you are willing to tell everyone selflessly because you are generous. But we can't ask for your method in vain. If you have any ideas or conditions, feel free to mention them."
Xu Yin wanted to decline politely, but suddenly she thought of the homestead in front of her new house, and her heart moved.
Recently, her family was building a house and she had not made time to go to Li Zheng. Now that she mentioned it, she was not polite.
"The homestead in front of the door? Why is this so difficult!"
The clan leader winked at Zhengli, saying yes! Why don't you agree quickly?
Such a request is not really a requirement, why should we consider it?
Li Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn't hesitate much.
No one wants the homestead near the foot of the mountain, for fear that the beasts in the mountain will come down and wreak havoc.
People would rather build houses on the bank of Cuntou River than move here.
When Xu Yin asked for it, he cut off a large piece for her.
Not only was there a long stretch of land in front of the door, but about three acres of open space on the east and west sides were also allocated to her home.
The patriarch also asked: "Is it enough? If it's not enough, you can tell me which piece you want, and let Li Zheng give it to you as well."
Li Zheng: "..."
Seeing the quarrel between the two little old men, Xu Yin couldn't help but be happy: "That's enough, that's enough!"
After hearing that she had said enough, Satsuma breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the land at the foot of the mountain is not valuable, we can't allocate so much to single families all at once.
After all, he is not only the chief of Dawa Village, but also the chief of Xiaowa Village. He is in charge of both villages. If people from both villages followed his example, they would ask him to grant homestead land and return a large piece of land to him. what to do? Does he agree or not? It’s not easy for managers either!
However, he could not grant more homestead land, but he was willing to compensate Mr. Cui in other ways:
With so much land, I only collected two taels for my own sake. These two taels of silver were collected when I went to the county government office to apply for the land deed and needed to do some sorting.
For more than ten acres of land, we only received 2 taels, which in Xu Yin's opinion was almost like giving it away for free.
She sighed in her heart: The people in ancient times were really embarrassed when they approved homesteads!
The combined old and new homesteads can be used to build a small manor!
Go back and buy the wild lake pond in front of the village road, which will give you the feel of a private garden!
A few days later, Li Zheng asked his son to send her family's new land deed. Xu Yin taught the new retting method in detail, and Li Zheng arranged for someone to learn it.
The newly planted sorghum, soybeans and winter vegetables were successively applied with this new batch of organic fertilizer.
During this period, Xu Yin heard a rumor——
I heard that the daughter of Lao Cui's family rescued a noble man in the mountains not long ago. The noble man fainted at that time. Cui Qiaoqiao gritted his teeth and carried him down the mountain and asked a doctor to save him.
Xu Yin suddenly realized: Oh, the sixth prince, the destined husband of the Koi heroine, has appeared!
Goudan Niang and Tiewa Niang probably felt that she was tight-lipped and would not turn around to speak out their complaints. In their free time, they always liked to go to her house with a sewing basket and gossip:
"Have you heard? The young man who was rescued by your sister-in-law was dressed in rich clothes and had a jade pendant tied around his waist. When he woke up, he handed over a hundred taels of silver note. At first glance, he was no ordinary person."
"Everyone is saying that your sister-in-law is lucky. She is the savior of noble people! What is the saying? 'A life-saving favor should be given with one's body', right? What's more, she was carrying the other person down the mountain on her back, and the two of them were We have been close to each other for a long time. If the nobleman doesn’t marry her, her marriage will be in trouble!"
Xu Yin was leisurely weaving fish baskets and listening to their gossip, and she felt clear in her heart:
It's too early to talk about getting married. He doesn't even have the power to decide on the prince's life-long events. He has to have the consent of his father, the current emperor, Kai Jinkou.
According to the plot, the heroine waited until she was thirteen years old to save the emperor who was leaving the palace in private, and then she was granted a marriage to the sixth prince. Calculating the time, it will take at least five or six years.
The current sixth prince is still a young lady himself.
But it was true that he followed the Sixth Prince to Beijing this time.
Because the Sixth Prince found that he was very safe and lucky to be with her, and she saved him. Although he was not emotionally attracted to her at this time, he still had a good impression of her, so he tried his best to invite her to come to Beijing with him.
Sure enough, it was as Xu Yin expected... no, as the plot developed, when the sixth prince was almost recovering from his injuries, the secret guard who had distracted the thieves came to pick him up. He asked the secret guard to leave a sum of money and persuaded the savior. Cui Qiaoqiao returned to Beijing.
Cui Qiaoqiao also wanted to visit the capital.
She had been trapped in the Wang family until her death in her last life, and had never even left the Wang family yard. If she could live again, she would of course be eager to get out of Dawa Village and leave this small mountain town that had brought her so much pain and resentment.
In addition, he took the initiative to take her away, and the girl Huaichun, she felt indescribable sweetness and longing in her heart.
But regarding his proposal to leave some money to the family, she shook her head:
"There is no need to leave too much money for my mother. The one hundred taels you gave her last time has not been spent yet. She won't be able to use so much. Giving too much will easily attract the attention of thieves, but it will harm her."
Apart from these, she only plans to take away a large portion of the money she earned previously, and leave all the scraps of copper to her family.
This money is enough for her mother and younger brother to occasionally cut some meat to replenish their bodies. If she leaves too much money, it will make it easier for the second brother, or even the eldest brother and his wife. She doesn't want to be taken advantage of!
The Sixth Prince raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was the first time he had seen a woman pushing money away, and he couldn't help but be more interested in her than a benefactor.
Mrs. Cui was so happy that her eyes filled with tears when she thought that her daughter would go to Beijing with the nobles to enjoy the blessings and become the mistress of a wealthy family.
"Son, you are the most promising in our family. When you get rich, don't forget to recruit some of your brothers!"
Cui Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes inwardly, and pulled? It would be nice not to argue with her two elder brothers. The younger brother is very kind to her, but the younger brother is kind to everyone. If he marries a wife in the future, he doesn't know if he will end up like the eldest brother and the second brother.
Just as he was talking, Cui Mengjin came.
He heard from his wife that it was inappropriate for his younger sister to go to the capital with a stranger.
Even if he is the other party's savior, is it appropriate to follow him all the way to the capital without knowing the basics?
