Chapter 56 Be content
Wang Xun is a good boy. In future generations, he will definitely be a good student who is both diligent and smart, and will be loved by his teachers. The other one, Zhao Guang, was exactly the kind of mischievous Xiao Ming who was forced to stand and kicked out every day.
"Brother, when I came here this time, I happened to hear the farmers on the farm saying that the crops on the farm were better than elsewhere. I even went around the field and found that it was indeed the case. My brother's farming skills are indeed wonderful! "
As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard Zhao Guang's voice whispering in his ears. Feng Yong turned over in frustration, turning his back to him, not wanting to pay attention to it.
Unexpectedly, this guy didn't even wink at all, and continued to say: "Especially the land where my brother asked people to scatter things a few days ago, it turned out to be better than the ones on the farm. Are those things the same? Made by my brother’s master’s secret technique?”
Zhao Guang said, but he was thinking in his heart that he was just looking at it from a distance on the ground that day, but he didn't see clearly what it was. If he had known that this thing was so magical, he should have gone to see it clearly that day.
When Zhao Guang said this, Feng Yong remembered that I even spread fermented farmyard manure, a big killer, for the crops to eat. Now I don’t know how it looks like? It seems that since that time, I have never paid attention to the situation in the fields. Judging from this guy's tone, it seems that he is growing well, which is to be expected. If he still can't grow well, then he might as well keep this **** for himself!
“Zishi, you continue to practice calligraphy here, and I’ll go out for a walk first.” Feng Yong said, getting up and planning to take a look. This is related to the bet between himself and Huang Yueying, so there is no room for sloppiness.
There have been a lot of people wandering around Fengzhuang's land recently, especially the area where farmyard manure has been spread. People squat there and watch every day. There is no other reason. The crops in Fengzhuang are generally growing better than those elsewhere, and that piece of land is the most outstanding, and it is actually much higher than the surrounding ones.
When Feng Yong arrived at the field, he happened to see an old man walking around the edge of the field with his hands behind his back, squatting down and pulling something from time to time. He didn't look like someone from Fengzhuang, because Feng Yong had never seen such an old man in his village.
As long as they don't come here to cause damage, Feng Yong, who was born in the countryside, knows that people who grow crops regard the crops in the fields as their own lives. When they see a piece of land with crops growing well, they wish that the land belongs to their home. .
Feng Yong stood at one end and did not bother the old man at the other end. He bent down and held up the rice ears that were beginning to become plump and slightly drooping. He counted them, said "tsk" and shook his head. It was still much worse than later generations. Based on the appearance of this ear of rice, compared with the ears of rice in later generations, it is estimated that it weighed 400 kilograms to death. But even so, I should be able to explain it to Huang Yueying.
“Brother, are you still not satisfied?”
The old man had come around at some point. When he saw Feng Yong shaking his head, he couldn't help but ask.
Feng Yong took a look at the old man and saw that he was wearing cloth shoes on his feet, and there were no clothes made of cloth on his body. Although he was not flashy, he was neatly packed, so he knew that he was definitely not a farmer - which family's farmer? Can the old man have shoes to wear?
Immediately, he gave a salute to show respect, then pointed to the rice field next to him, shook his head and said: "The old man was joking. I just made an estimate. This field can produce about three and a half stones of grain. It is already extremely rare. Why should I be dissatisfied?" What to say?"
Today's Feng Yong is no longer the idiot Feng who didn't understand anything when he first came here. Talking nonsense will only make people think that he is crazy.
The old man nodded and agreed: "I didn't expect that I am an expert in farming. I just estimated that it was about this number. I have been farming all my life, but I have never seen an entire farm. Even the crops in the field are smaller than Other people’s fields are good, but I’m not that simple.”
Huh? How does this old man know that this land is his?
It turns out that this is my neighbor!
Feng Yong had no choice but to hand it over again: "It turns out to be Taigong Li. I'm rude."
Old Man Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. Feng Langjun often interacts with nobles and has met the prime minister. I am just a farmer, so I don't deserve the courtesy of Langjun. Qian Touli also wants to come to his door." We were so close, but when we saw the nobleman's carriages and horses coming and going from the house, we gave up on our ambitions."
“The old grandpa has really embarrassed the young man. The young man has neither an official nor a job, so isn’t he also farming the same way? If the grandpa really comes to visit, the young man should be the one who feels sincere and frightened.”
The old man chuckled and sighed regretfully: "The daughter of the fifth Li family is really unlucky. She had to go through trouble to get a good marriage, and now she regrets it to death!"
Li Wu? This name seems familiar.
Seeing Feng Yong's confused eyes, Old Man Li shook his head again and explained: "It seems that Feng Langjun was ill in the past and has indeed forgotten a lot of things. The eldest daughter of the Li Wu family in Xialili Village was originally married to Feng Langjun It’s someone who has been engaged…”
Ooh, I remembered that I was talking about the Xiali Village with the housekeeper yesterday. But when you said this, I felt that I was also a loser whose fiancée regretted my marriage.
Old-fashioned, so old-fashioned!
“The boy was also suffering from hysteria at that time, and I can’t blame others for it.” Feng Yongyong smiled sheepishly, “From what Grandpa said, it seems that he knows Uncle Li’s family in Xiali Village?”
"If you think about it, then Li Wu should also call me Fourth Grandfather."
This old man is quite senior?
Old Man Li didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic. He pointed to the rice field in front of him and continued: "If I remember correctly, this land should be the lower field, right? But why does the food in the lower field grow better than the upper field? Woolen cloth?"
“Oh, I have learned some farming skills from others. I tried it on this field a few days ago. I never expected that it would actually work.”
“It turns out that this is a secret that is not told. It seems that I have talked too much.” Old Man Li cupped his hands in apology.
Family secrets are the foundation of a family in ancient times. If most people ask, it is equivalent to snooping. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that they will become enemies, but if they are unhappy, they will basically not run away.
Feng Tibi didn't have this awareness. He said nonchalantly: "Why is it so serious? It's just that this method is good, but it can only be planted in such a small area. It's a pity."
How much land can be cultivated these days with just farmyard manure? Take Fengzhuang as an example. With the addition of livestock and livestock farming, the farmyard manure saved can only be used for planting so much. If you want to promote it on a large scale, you can't even think about it until you produce chemical fertilizers.
"That's enough," Old Man Li pointed to the distance, "Feng Langjun's land, even excluding this one, the other lands are in much better shape than others. I think we can harvest a lot more food. Feng Langjun just shook his head and sighed. Do you feel dissatisfied with only such a small piece of land? Forgive me, if it had been me, I would be very satisfied with this."
