The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 313 Handling Seeds

The weather is really hot, especially with children, and I dare not put the ice basin directly in the carriage, so I can only put it outside to relieve the heat.

"Hot, hot." Little Nian Gao listened to the adults say it was hot, and sat on Li Xiu's lap to express her opinion.

"Yeah, yeah." Xiaomi Tuan couldn't read well, and especially liked to learn from his uncle.

Lin Huzi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "I really don't know when it will be a head. Now except for the paddy fields, other places are dry. If there are bamboo pipes in the fields to carry water, it is enough to irrigate the fields every day." tiring."

Li Xiu heard Lin Huzi say this, and was a little worried: "Fortunately, our side is next to the big river, so there will be no shortage of water. Even if it is hot and it doesn't rain, there will be no shortage of water. I heard from the old people in the village that it will be almost enough if it is so hot for a few days. It’s raining, and if it doesn’t rain, I’m afraid there will be a drought.”

"Drought won't happen so easily. There are two big rivers in Jingguo, and there is almost no record of drought. Even if there is drought, it is on the northwest side, which is terribly dry. Even in years without drought, it is rare to have a few days in summer. It’s raining.” Cheng Wenliu has a different opinion, he usually reads a lot and knows a lot more than Lin Huzi and the others.

Lin Huzi chuckled: "Wen Liu is right. Even if there is a drought this year, the lives of our common people will be better than before. The first round of rice is harvested twice a year, and potatoes and sweet potatoes can be dug immediately. Good stuff to fill your stomach.”

"I said there would be no drought. Why do you keep mentioning the drought? Really." Li Xiu pinched Lin Huzi. up.

Lin Huzi was not tough at all when facing Li Xiu, and Fu Lang immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake when he was upset: "Okay, okay, I just don't say anything."

"Father and Ah Mo have such a good relationship." Cheng Wenliu watched from the side with a smile, thinking that he and Lin Xiazhi could grow old together like this in the future, and he would feel very happy.

After taking him to Cheng's house, Cheng Wenliu went out to do business after he made a complaint. Now it's the end of the month, when he and the shopkeepers and stewards are at their busiest.

Lin Xiazhi didn't care that Cheng Wenliu didn't stay at home with him, and happily entertained Lin Huzi and Li Xiu with Cheng Fulang.

Cheng Fulang especially likes the two little ones, Xiaonian Gao and Xiaomi Tuan, and he and Li Xiu each take care of the other, which happens to be convenient for Lin Xiazhi and Lin Huzi to discuss matters.

"Father, how are the tomatoes and peppers harvested in the village?" Lin Xiazhi took a bite of the pastries brought by Lin Huzi and the others. This is the mint flavor newly developed by Yang Yusheng. It tastes icy and cool, which is very refreshing.

"The tomatoes are the same as last year. I made a lot of tomato paste and are selling them, and the peppers are also being harvested. I told the villagers as you said before, and everyone actively helped." Lin Huzi was happy, and he was happy when everyone was happy.

"I came here this time just to discuss with you how to deal with these two seeds." Lin Xiazhi expressed his thoughts and let Lin Huzi see.

In fact, after planting more tomatoes and peppers, the seeds are easy for outsiders to get. Just pick a few fruits secretly at night and go back. Instead of someone coming to steal the seeds later, it’s better for the Lin family to sell the seeds generously. .

Because the tomatoes were planted by the villagers last year, if the tomatoes were to be planted outside now, the village might have some opinions. After Lin Huzi went back, he had to discuss with Lizheng first and win the support of most people in the village.

As for the chili seeds, it's even simpler. Before, only the Lin family was planting them. Now that the Lin family wants to give the chili seeds to everyone, it's useless for them to have opinions.

After listening to what Lin Xiazhi said, Lin Huzi didn't react for a long time: "Brother Xia, will the villagers make trouble with us?"

"Trouble?" Lin Xiazhi raised his eyebrows, "What are they making trouble about, what's there to make trouble about. These seeds belong to our Lin family, so you can give them to whoever you want."

Scratching his head, Lin Huzi slowly expressed his thoughts: "Everyone has tasted the sweetness of growing tomatoes and selling tomato sauce. In the future, other places will also grow tomatoes and sell tomato sauce. Our village will lose its advantages. Will people blame us?"

After Lin Xiazhi heard what he said, he immediately felt that Dad had improved a lot over the years, and that he could think of these things, which is worthy of praise.

"Father, is there someone else who makes the yuba and bean stalks in our village? Has it affected the business in our village?" Lin Xiazhi asked back.

"No—maybe." Lin Huzi was not sure, he didn't know much about the business in the village or at home, and he would never intervene when he occasionally heard others talk about it when he was in the field.

"Not only not, but because other people also do it, more and more people know that there are two kinds of food, and the business in the village is more prosperous than before." Lin Xiazhi reminded him, "The same is true for tomato sauce. If others also sell tomato sauce, Only then will more people know about ketchup, which will help our ketchup become famous, and it is a good opportunity, as long as we make the taste better, the ketchup business in the village will not deteriorate.”

"If there are still people making trouble for this reason, then you can tell them that the Cheng family found the seeds of tomatoes and peppers from other places and entrusted us to plant them. If they have any objections, it is fine not to go to the Cheng family to buy the seeds."

The reason why the Cheng family was pulled out was to tear the faces of the Cheng family and the Lin family. In the future, Lin Xiazhi would never remember them, not only Lin Xiazhi, but Li Zheng and the villagers would also be dissatisfied with them.

Lin Huzi seemed to understand but didn't understand, Lin Xiazhi said the words twice so that Lin Huzi would remember to go back and discuss with Lizheng, and Youlizheng believed that he could handle this matter well.

Li is a person who can see clearly. Now Linjiacun is in the limelight, and every move in the village is attracting attention. The more it is at this time, the more it is necessary for others to find faults. It is best for people to accept peacefully.

Lin Huzi had something in his mind, and sat on the side frowning thinking about something. He seemed a little absent-minded when talking to everyone, and didn't notice that the servant who poured him tea changed several times.

Seeing this kind of Lin Huzi, the servants of the Cheng family thought about the image of Lin Huzi that was popular among the servants some time ago, and compared it with the master of the Lin family described by the person who went to the Lin family alone. Lied to them, and immediately picked up their admiration for Lin Huzi.

Li Xiu felt something was wrong, he didn't know why, so he asked Cheng Fulang quietly.

Cheng Fulang was watching the fun, Li Xiu asked the ins and outs of the incident, and Li Xiu couldn't stop laughing.

Because there was such a small misunderstanding in an agricultural book, and paying attention to the cautious eyes of the people looking at Lin Huzi, he immediately decided to not expose it like Cheng Fulang.

It was not until Li Xiu and the others were on their way back to Linjiacun that Li Xiu shared this funny story.

Lin Huzi was shocked after hearing this. How can he be worthy of the full of knowledge they praised in their mouths? He is just a farmer who knows a few big characters: "Brother Xiu, did I fail to write the agricultural book? When the time comes, I will really have something to do." What should I do if a scholar who is very knowledgeable asks me to talk about something."

Li Xiu pushed Lin Huzi: "What are you worrying about? Brother Xia said just now that the county magistrate will send this book to the county magistrate. If the county magistrate finds it useful, he will give it to you. Look, His Majesty the Emperor, if His Majesty appreciates your book by then, who will dare to criticize you?"

"Then what if His Majesty thinks it's not good after reading it?"

"Then we can also say that this book is the county governor's favorite. In Lishui County, no one will say anything."

"Then what if—the Sheriff-sama also thinks it's not good?"

"How can you destroy your own ambition and make others prestige before anything happens!"

……

Outside the carriage, the servants of the Cheng family who were ordered to send the master of the Lin family and Fu Lang back listened to their conversation and laughed. Fortunately, he doesn't worship the master of the Lin family, otherwise sitting here would be so sad.

Lin Huzi and Li Xiu returned to the village, Lin Huzi went to Shang Lizheng non-stop, and repeated what he said to Lin Xiazhi at Cheng Zhai today.

"Huzi, have you discussed this matter with Brother Xia?" Lizheng felt his heart skip a beat when he finished speaking. This matter is very difficult to hear, and if it is not handled well, the village will definitely be thrown into chaos.

Lin Huzi told the truth: "Actually, it was Brother Xia's idea. Big Brother, you also know that Brother Xia has a lot of ideas. I know how to farm. I don't know how to do anything else. That kid said it." , I still don’t understand what he said.”

Lizheng coughed, but Lin Huzi was still so honest that he didn't know what to say, whether to praise him for being lacking in thought, or to call him for having no idea, so he could only tell him to go back tiredly: "Okay, I understand you guys. meaning."

It is undeniable that Lin Xiazhi's words are very reasonable. In fact, some people have come to him in the past few days and said that their tomatoes have been stolen. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was very strict with their tomatoes, they would not have noticed that those few tomatoes were missing. .

The fields of these families are in different locations, and they don’t have many tomatoes. They all think that children are greedy for picking them secretly, so they all secretly come to Lizheng to respond, instead of catching thieves in the village with great fanfare.

In fact, the children in Linjia Village are very sensible now. Everyone knows that tomatoes can make money for the family, and they don't pick tomatoes secretly. Those who steal tomatoes are probably outsiders who want tomato seeds.

Li was smoking a pipe at the door of the house for a long time, and did not return to the house until the sun went down and the sky became dark.

Lying on the bed, Wei Fulang asked Lizheng quietly: "Old man, Huzi came to talk to you just now? Look at your frowning face, what is so difficult?"

When the words reached the edge of his mouth, he withdrew them, and only said one sentence: "About tomatoes and peppers."

Wei Fulang couldn't understand: "Tomatoes and peppers, shouldn't that be a good thing? I've heard that the Lin family wants to distribute peppers to the village. Why are you acting like this?"
