Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

"The meal is ready, Miss, Uncle, Young Madam, please move to the side hall to eat." Fan Mingchong said a few people.

Outside the hall, his wife had been here for a while, and the meal was ready.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and got up.

"Let's go together. After lunch, let's go to the fields together in the afternoon." After talking for a morning, she was really hungry.

"Miss Xie!" Fan Ming and the others quickly thanked them.

So the people in the room followed Fan Ming to the side hall.

As a maid, Zhao Shanshan couldn't have followed, but Lin Xiaoyue opened her mouth to let her follow.

She also introduced to everyone that Zhao Shanshan is now the steward of her snack bar.

In disguise, he told the three stewards that Zhao Shanshan's current level was no lower than that of their stewards.

The stewards were surprised by this.

Especially Fan Ming, when he learned about this situation, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Up to now, his son's thoughts could be seen by anyone with eyes in the hall just now.

This girl Zhao was deeply trusted by the young lady and was entrusted with important tasks.

How can such a girl be so easy to marry?

Son, don't offend others, it's all about causing trouble.

Fan Ming felt that he had to beat his son to find a chance.

The only one who was lost was Fan Teng who was waiting outside the hall.

He has been waiting outside the hall, just waiting for the negotiation inside, so that he can take girl Shanshan to dinner.

The results of it? The girl Ren Shanshan is actually a lady who is highly regarded, the steward of the snack bar, and she was called by the lady to the side hall for dinner.

Well, the chance for him to get along with Miss Shanshan is gone...

to the side hall.

There were two tables of meals.

Lin Xiaoyue was a little surprised and didn't think about it.

She thought it was simple, the ancient hierarchy was strict.

How could a slave and a master eat at the same table.

Like this, eating in one room is already the limit.

Soon, everyone was seated.

Lin Xiaoyue, Li Xiao, and the Zhou family sat at a table.

The rest went to another table.

During the banquet, Lin Xiaoyue said a few words, and then Fan Ming was the most enthusiastic, and patted Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao a lot of flattery.

Seeing this, Zhong Gui and Cao De were not to be outdone, and quickly flattered Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.

After listening to a few sentences at first, Lin Xiaoyue felt that it was useful, but after listening to it more, she felt that it was boring.

"Don't drink the wine, let's all eat. After eating, you have to go to the ground and take a look." Lin Xiaoyue said.

The three stewards exchanged glances secretly, responded, and finally sat down to eat obediently.

Seeing this, Zhao Shanshan once again admired her young lady in her heart.

The lady really pinched these three to death.

At the other dining table, Zhou shi looked at Lin Xiaoyue with some admiration.

She had seen her father get along with Shopkeeper Fan before, and even with other subordinates.

When her father was with them, she only saw majesty.

But when it came to her sister, the majesty was still there, but it was more human.

Hmm... It seems that the human touch is not entirely true, but, how should I put it, she thinks that if she was a subordinate, she would be willing to follow such a master.

Of course, the premise is that she is the kind of more motivated subordinate.

Just mess around. After all, the girl's requirements are really not low...

Lin Xiaoyue didn't know this, Li Xiao brought her vegetables and she was eating.

After eating the dishes in the bowl, Lin Xiaoyue quickly covered the bowl when she saw Li Xiao wanted to serve her again.

These days, she's used to the dishes made by Chen's and Ma's at home, with all the seasonings added.

The table in front of her, although she knew it was carefully prepared at first glance, it couldn't satisfy her in terms of taste.

Li Xiao frowned slightly, "It's rare to have a lighter taste today, eat more of this green vegetable." Chong Lin Xiaoyue said.

I just told him yesterday that I was on fire.

Today, I finally came across a lighter diet. I only ate two pieces of green vegetables, but I didn't want to eat it.

Seeing Li Xiao frown, Lin Xiaoyue didn't want her man to be angry, so she could only remove the hand covering the bowl.

Then, he looked at Li Xiao with a pleading face.

I just hope this grandpa can give her less green vegetables.

She really doesn't like green vegetables very much. She likes meat, and it's the kind with heavy flavors.

Li Xiao glanced at Lin Xiaoyue with a cold face.

Ignoring Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, she directly caught a big clip.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were really angry and aggrieved.

"Pfft—" Zhou Shi was amused.

This laugh caught the eyes of Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue at the same time.

Li Xiao showed no expression, but Lin Xiaoyue was blushed.

At this time, Zhou Shi's eyes were not only not embarrassed, but when he looked at Lin Xiaoyue, they were a little narrow.

She thought that her sister was not afraid of anyone? Unexpectedly, he was afraid of her husband.

This is really... one thing falls one thing.

Unconsciously, Zhou shi thought of his own hole again.

Her husband is the kind that is not afraid of anyone outside, but only, there is nothing to do with her...

Zhou Shi's heart was a move.

Thinking about it, she should not go to Liu's house tonight, she has to go home.

Li Xiao just pretended not to see Zhou's expression, and put the dishes into Lin Xiaoyue's bowl.

Then she motioned to Lin Xiaoyue with her eyes to eat quickly.

Lin Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed.

Due to the large number of people in the hall, I didn't dare to bargain with Li Xiao, so I could only bury my head in eating.

Next, the main table and the second table, the dinner table is very quiet.

The people at the next table have been paying attention to the situation of the main table.

Although there was no change, they all saw and heard the interaction between their uncle and the young lady just now.

One by one, they were a little surprised.

It turns out that in the master's house, the status of the uncle is so high?

Such a majestic young lady is actually "afraid" of Uncle?

But yes, although the uncle is the son-in-law who comes to the house, but with his looks and body... Few people will not be afraid of it, right?

Li Xiao didn't know yet, because of this incident, the three stewards were even more in awe of him.

The food was not to taste, and Lin Xiaoyue didn't eat much.

After a bowl of rice, put the bowl.

The Zhou family was also used to the Liu family's food, and was not very interested in this food, so he put it in a bowl.

Li Xiao ate one more bowl, but didn't continue to add more rice.

He has never been picky, but since the snack bar on the dock opened, he always went to the snack bar to eat at noon.

Three meals a day, and now he has never left Spicy.

Today, if he hadn't come to Zhoujiazhuang for this meal, he wouldn't have noticed it, and he even started to pick up on the food and dislike the food.

The main table put a bowl, and the people at the second table naturally didn't continue, and all put bowls.

Fan Ming was still a little worried, thinking that the meal was not arranged properly, and the young lady felt that she had no appetite.

It was Zhao Shanshan, who gave him a look that signaled his reassurance. And told him that Miss they were just not used to the food outside, so he felt at ease.

After this incident, Fan Ming has a little more affection for Zhao Shanshan.

He even thought that it would be a good thing if his son could really be with Zhao Shanshan.

After the meal, Lin Xiaoyue asked Fan Ming to take them to the field to take a look.

Li Xiao also specifically explained that Fan Teng would also follow.

As a result, the father and son Fan Ming and Fan Teng became the ones leading the way.

Fan Teng knew even more than Fan Ming about the situation in the field. So, soon, Fan Teng also replaced Fan Ming and became the person who introduced and explained for everyone.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue had a better impression of Fan Teng.

"Zhuangzi has a lot of land, and it's too widely distributed. I'm afraid it will be a little hard to irrigate and fertilize." Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the endless land and said.

The crowd nodded in agreement.

In the past, the land was rented out to the tenant farmers to plant, and the irrigation and fertilization were arranged by the tenant farmers themselves, so they didn't need to think about it at all.

But now, instead of renting the land, they hired people to farm the land.

In order to save labor, you really have to think about it.

"It's better to divide these lands into areas. Then, in each area, build a pool and a septic tank."

"Usually when it rains, the water is led to the pool and stored, and then when the ground needs to be irrigated, the water is drawn directly from the pool."

"In the case of the manure pond, the farmyard manure from the pigsty and chicken farm will be sent to the manure pond on a regular basis. When it is needed, it will be available nearby. There is no need to pick it from the hut in the village."

Farmyard manure from pig pens and chicken farms is dry and easy to transport.

When the field needs to be fertilized, use a manure bucket to take some dry farmyard manure, and then add water to fertilize the crops.

If it is not arranged in this way, then the dung will have to be picked from Zhuangzi.

The dung water to be picked is wet, and it is too laborious to pick it into the ground and the distance is too far.

This is also a reference to the pools and cesspools she saw in her grandmother's house when she was a child.

In some fields far from home, farmers came up with the idea of ​​building pools and cesspools in the fields.

In this way, you can save a lot of effort and time.

The crowd was amazed.

"Miss, this is a good way! This way, it may save a lot of energy!" Fan Teng took the lead!

He usually goes to the ground and does things like picking manure and fertilizing it. He knows how tiring it is.

Fan Ming glanced at his son and handed over to Lin Xiaoyue, "Miss is wise and smart, the old slave wrote down the construction of the pond and cesspool."

"Well. Arrange as soon as possible." Lin Xiaoyue said.

Zhong Gui and Cao De also followed Lin Xiaoyue and clasped their fists in salute.

It shows that Maoerzhuang and Zhoujiazhuang will also build pools and cesspools in the ground.

They are really convinced now.

The knowledge and thinking of the young lady are comparable to those of ordinary women. Oh no, it's a man, I'm afraid it's not comparable!

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue let Fan Teng continue to lead the way and move forward.

Soon, the group arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The slope of this mountain is not high, and it is completely incomparable with the mountain next to the Liuzhai in Dashi Village. But this mountain is very big, and it is in the middle of Zhoujiazhuang's land, occupying a lot of space.

"This mountain was also climbed by Zhuangzi?" Lin Xiaoyue asked.

There are too many land in Zhoujiazhuang, she has read the title deed, but she is not too careful. Not sure if she owns the mountain.

However, all the land around this mountain belongs to Zhoujiazhuang.

If this mountain is the case, there is a high probability that it should be bought.

"Miss Hui, it's Zhuangzi." Fan Ming said quickly.

Lin Xiaoyue's eyes brightened.

"What is the soil quality like at the bottom of the mountain?" Then, Chong Fan Ming asked.

Fan Ming didn't know what Lin Xiaoyue was thinking, and replied truthfully, "It's all high-level places."

Lin Xiaoyue raised the corner of her mouth, and there was an immediate smile on her face.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, their eyes turned to the mountain again.

"I think the slope of this mountain is not high, and the mountainside is mostly weeds, and few trees grow."

"If these lands are reclaimed, the probability of becoming fertile fields should be relatively high."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The lady actually wanted to open up wasteland, and she chose the mountains?

Fan Ming frowned, thought for a while, but still bowed his hands to Lin Xiaoyue.

"Miss, these places at the foot of the mountain are high-class. But the situation on the mountain is different from that at the foot of the mountain. It's hard to say what the situation will be."

"Also, the mountains are uneven, and it's too troublesome to plant. It's not worth the effort to open such a land."

This mountain does occupy a lot of place in Zhoujiazhuang, and Master Zhou didn't like it when he saw it before.

I also thought of some ways to get rid of this mountain.

Unfortunately, those methods cost too much manpower and material resources, and none of them are feasible.

The idea of ​​reclaiming wasteland on the mountain was the first idea that Miss came up with.

In his opinion, this idea is the most unreliable one.

Although the mountain is not steep, the slope is still not low.

If you really want to open up wasteland on it, even if you open it up, it will be very troublesome to plant at that time. Doing this is purely thankless and a waste of time.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, "If it's not level, then make it level."

Everyone looked surprised.

Tidy up the mountain? What's the meaning?

Is the lady trying to level the mountain?

Thinking of this guess, the expressions of everyone are a little incredible.

Zhong Ming and Cao De looked at Fan Ming with sympathy.

If the young lady really did this in Zhoujiazhuang, Fan Ming's budget of 2,000 taels might not even be enough to move mountains.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Xiaoyue smiled again.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to move the mountain, but to transform the mountain. Change the position below the mountainside of the mountain into terraced fields."

Hearing this, Fan Ming's expression improved.

"Miss, what are the terraced fields?" asked Lin Xiaoyue again.

The rest of the people also looked at Lin Xiaoyue, wondering if Lin Xiaoyue had come up with any new ideas.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, "A terraced field is a field with strip-like terraces or wavy cross-sections built on the hillsides and along the contour lines."

"This kind of field stores water, preserves soil, and prevents soil erosion on sloping farmland."

"Moreover, the ventilation and light transmission conditions of the terraced fields are relatively good, which is conducive to the growth of crops and the accumulation of nutrients, and can also bring certain yield-increasing effects to crops."

The crowd was amazed.

"There is such a field?" Cao De was even more amazed.

"How to make it?" Li Xiao actually opened his mouth.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao, saw the man's eyes were very interesting, and smiled again.

"Get me a stick, I'll draw it, and you'll know when you see it." Then, he glanced at the ground under his feet.

"Uncle, I'll go!" Before Li Xiao could move, Fan Teng said loudly.

Afterwards, before Li Xiao could reply, the man had already rushed forward.

Then, Fan Teng broke a small tree by the roadside.

Afterwards, he picked off the branches and leaves of the small tree and made a stick about one meter long.

After packing up the stick, Fan Teng ran back and gave the stick to Zhao Shanshan.
