ancient five-star seventh system

Chapter 263 It’s Impossible to Be a Child Bride-in-Law (6)

In addition to Wang Qigou's family, each of the six families divided a piece of land. Except for Wang Qigou's family, which only had four members, the other families had at least six sons, daughters and grandchildren, because those who decided to take the land to grow Panax notoginseng He was the man who kept his word in the family, so after the family was convinced, they all joined forces.

It is not easy to clean up a piece of wasteland, but because of Tian Qixi Yin, under the guidance of Zuo Xiaole, everyone just cleaned up some saplings that were blocked by weeds on the barren hills, like some grown trees didn't move.

But when everyone was almost done clearing the land, Zuo Xiaole suddenly realized a problem. Everyone seemed to think that as long as they planted Panax notoginseng seeds in the ground, Panax notoginseng would grow?And she had thought about it so absurdly, and when she saw the earnest eyes of Wang Qigou and the others looking at her, she suddenly understood:

She actually doesn’t understand how to plant Panax notoginseng well? !
Zuo Xiaole expressed that she was a little distressed, and then heard a long-lost ding in her head.

"Congratulations to the host for triggering a new skill—Nongmen New Technology"

New farming technology?

Zuo Xiaole entered the system consciously, and an envelope-like thing popped up on the screen. She stretched out her hand, and then found that thousands of rays of light emerged from the screen and drilled into her body, and then she discovered, She seems to have a golden finger called the little farmer.

Isn’t it just planting a Panax notoginseng?Simple!
The seedlings of Panax notoginseng are best from November to December every year. In March and April of the next year, the Panax notoginseng seedlings are planted on the fertilized and plowed mountain land. The time is in a hurry, and it will be the next year In March, under the guidance of Wang Qigou's family, everyone in Wangjia Village watched the six families tossing and turning on the mountain with some curious and some watching the show.

The Wang family is not free here, so Zuo Xiaole suggested that Wang Qigou and Zhang Juhua take all the grain fields in the family and grow them into sweet potatoes, and sold them in the town for four days just after the New Year's Eve. The five little piggies are back.

After planting all the notoginseng seedlings in April, Wang Qigou's family went to the town to buy more than [-] chicks, and came back with more than [-] ducklings.

Zuo Xiaole's suggestion is that anyway, there is a large forest behind the house, and if you are idle, you are idle. It is better to enclose a place to make a chicken coop, put chickens on it and let them free-range, and give them some water at ordinary times. Give some bran, no matter if it's an egg or a chicken, it will always be chewy after a year, isn't it?
When Wang Qigou heard this, why didn't he think of this in the past?Maybe it was because he didn't have much money in the past, and he was afraid that the chickens would die if they were not raised properly, which would be a waste. Now he is not afraid, there are tens of taels of silver in the family, and it is not a big deal if one or two die.

As for ducks, there is a pond not far from home anyway. When I was young, I raised them at home with the chickens. When they got older, they all rushed to the pond.

In May, everyone saw that Wang Qigou’s family put the chickens into the forest behind the house and became running pheasants, because most of the land in the house was planted with sweet potatoes, which are very cheap and don’t need much It takes a lot of effort to take care of it and it will grow very well, so Zhang Juhua can free up his hands to take care of the chickens and piglets at home.

Because the notoginseng seedlings have already been planted in the ground, Wang Qigou and his men are mainly responsible for the notoginseng on the mountain, watering them from time to time, weeding and so on. When the two were releasing ducks by the pond, Zuo Xiaole taught Wang Xi how to write, read, and recognize herbs.

She was not idle, so she asked Wang Qigou to make a fishing rod for her, and from time to time, she could catch a fish or two and go back to improve the food for her family.

In July, the Sanqi began to show flower buds one after another. At this time, except for the seeds, the other flower buds had to be pinched off, so everyone went up the mountain again for a while.

By August, the chickens and ducks at home had grown fat, round and strong, and the eggs and duck eggs could be exchanged for money in addition to food and drink for the family. This made Wang Qigou and Zhang Juhua see the business opportunities.

Some of the strong male ducks and roosters were kept, and some of the hens and ducks that could lay eggs were kept, and the remaining chickens and ducks were dragged to the town to sell.

In September and October, some hens showed the state of incubating eggs. Zhang Juhua and the others picked up dozens of eggs and duck eggs for them to incubate. After more than 20 days, dozens of chicks and ducklings were hatched. come out.

At this time, it was just time to harvest the sweet potatoes. The family also hired several helpers. It took three days to dig out all the sweet potatoes. After calculation, the annual grain output of one acre of land was about 2000 kilograms, or It took two seasons of exhausting work to produce a harvest, but the sweet potato harvest actually weighed more than [-] kilograms, almost three thousand kilograms!
Although the price of sweet potatoes is not as expensive as that of rice, the price is almost the same, or the value of sweet potatoes is higher.

The most important thing is that these grains are used by their family to feed the piglets, and the piglets are still growing very well.

When all the sweet potatoes are put into the cellar and these chicks and ducklings can be released, it will be time to harvest Panax notoginseng. The weather this year is good, and everyone has worked very hard to grow Panax notoginseng well.

But because the Panax notoginseng is only one year old after all, whether it is the root or the medicinal effect, it is definitely not comparable to the Panax notoginseng that has grown for many years. Wang Qigou took the Panax notoginseng to the market to ask the price. Most of the acquisition prices are between [-]% and [-]%, which is also within his expectation.

"How could it be so much cheaper?" Wang Qigou went with another person this time, and that person was called Wang Datou. He was a bit unacceptable when the purchase price was compared with the price of the wild notoginseng he sold last time. .

This time, Wang Qigou and the others walked a little farther, and when they arrived in the city, there happened to be a medicinal material market there. Because their place is close to the mountains, people often dug good medicinal materials from the mountains to sell, and drug dealers would also come here. Receive medicine.

"Didn't I tell you that last year, this panax notoginseng must not be sold at such a high price. I think it is suitable if it can be sold for nine per cent." The two squatted at the entrance of the medicinal material market, avoiding the sun Look at the booming medicinal materials market.

"That's too bad!" Wang Datou always felt a little unconvinced, feeling like he was cheated.

Wang Qigou also understood what he meant, and Zuo Xiaole had told him before that when he went to ask the price this time, some people would definitely feel a little bit disappointed, but this is normal, let him figure out what to do in the middle to deal with.

"Hey, what you said, tell me, if you plant such a large piece of grain, you drag it over and sell it, and see if the grain is expensive or the thirty-seven is expensive?"

"Panax notoginseng is much more troublesome than growing grain!"

"Hey, I don't like to hear what you say. What kind of money is easy to make in this world? It's not easy to make any money. You all know that the money you picked up for free is comfortable to carry around. Don't others know that?

If you dug up the treasure from the mountain today, it won't be your turn next time. This business lasts for a long time. That piece of land is yours. You only have so much time to take care of it every year. This time, it's your piece of land. At least it weighs two hundred catties, right?Nine cents a catty, there are..."

Wang Qigou did some calculations, and then said: "It's nine cents a catty, and it's 18 taels of silver. This hasn't delayed you from planting crops, but you have wasted some idle time and you can earn 18 taels of silver. Go back and ask your sister-in-law, is this business worthwhile?"

"Where is 18 taels? Don't you still want to take a penny?"

"Oh, all in all, if I help give ideas, help run around and jump up and down to give ideas, I won't get the slightest benefit? Besides, when I bring things to the city, I deserve it? If people follow You think the same way, I think we should just break up, you love all kinds of things, don't let them down—"

After speaking, Wang Qigou tapped the pipe of Hanyan on the sole of his shoe, got up and walked back.

"Hey, good brother, I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously..."

Seeing Wang Qigou leaving angrily, Wang Datou hurriedly chased after him. In fact, he would spend more than ten taels of silver a year, which he would never have dared to think about in the past, but now he felt that it was cheaper than what he sold last year. The Qigou family still has to smoke some, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

After Wang Qigou told everyone the news of his return, there were still many people who had the same idea as Wang Datou, but there were also people who felt that the price was actually acceptable. After all, they had gone there privately with Sanqi before. I asked about the price, and it was only six cents of silver per catty at most. In total, nine cents of silver per catty was enough.

And it was originally agreed before, everyone took out one cent of silver as a reward for Wang Qigou to give advice and help the big guys run around. Half of the time, some people say it's good and some people say it's bad, and Wang Qigou doesn't talk nonsense with them. Knowing that the interests are at hand, everyone will have their own little jiujiu.

In the next two days, maybe everyone went to ask the price, and no one could ask as high as Wang Qigou, so a group of people packed all the panax notoginseng and dragged them to the city to deliver the goods to the drug dealer.

This time planting Panax notoginseng, Wang Qigou’s family planted more than 240 catties, and sold it for more than 20 taels of silver. The other five families had a total of more than 1000 taels of silver. Everyone gave Wang Qigou 12 Two silver coins, everyone is cleared.

But after that, some people said that they didn't want to follow Wang Qigou, and wanted to do it by themselves. Wang Qigou didn't say much, and asked them to go out alone, leaving two families who were still willing to follow him, and everyone worked together. By December, another season of sowing has begun.

But what they didn't expect, and they didn't know the reason, was that a fire broke out on the mountain one night. When the flames licked, several hillsides were burned clean.

This made Zuo Xiaole think of the drought and insect plagues when Yang Wan was 12 years old. If it is ruled out that someone set fire deliberately, it is likely to be a precursor to drought. After calculation, their village has been there for nearly half a month. It's not raining.

But in Yang Wan's memory, during this period of time, there was indeed a wildfire in their place, and two or three people were burned to death.

Because the mountain fire came at night, everyone was woken up in their sleep to fight the fire, and Wang Qigou followed suit, but in the middle of the night, Wang Qigou hurried back with a group of people.

"Xizi! Xizi! Come out quickly! Xiaowan, Xiaowan, come and help me..."

Ever since Wang Qigou fell into the pit and was rescued last time, he has believed in Zuo Xiaole's medical skills. In addition, Zuo Xiaole and Xizi have treated many people in the village one after another in the past year. They are all cured, so that everyone likes to run to his house when they have nothing to do.

Today, when I went to put out the mountain fire, some people fell from the hillside and broke their legs, some people were burnt by the fire, and now they were all brought home by Wang Qigou.

There were eight wounded in total. Zuo Xiaole hurriedly inspected them and dealt with them with ease. Wang Xi helped her from the side.

Thanks to this past year, when Zuo Xiaole trained Wang Xi, he let him see the medicinal materials, and he would tell the effect of the medicinal materials. By the way, his family is quite complete with medicinal herbs.

But after all, they are just children in their teens. After a busy night, they were too sleepy to keep their eyes open. When they went to rest, they heard some people watching the fun say:
"Auntie, don't tell me, I think Xiaowan is really a good kid. The money you spent back then was really not in vain!"

For more than a year, Zhang Juhua was also very proud to see her family getting better and better because of Zuo Xiaole's opinion, "That's not true, speaking of it, Xiaowan has this fate with our family! Before I still dreamed that our Xiaowan was some kind of god in the sky who came to help us live a good life!"

"I look at this child too. His face is full of blessings. Auntie, you are really lucky. Look at the life you have lived in the past two years. Is there anyone in the village who doesn't envy you?"

Zhang Juhua didn't continue to answer the conversation, she smiled and changed the topic.

While talking, I heard someone say, "However, it's really an eye-opener. This time the mountain fire didn't even reach your Panax notoginseng. It seems that there are gods bless you!"

"That's not it!" Someone echoed.

"But it's a strange thing to say. Why did this good thing suddenly catch fire?" Zhang Juhua frowned.

At this time, someone whispered: "Could it be because I saw that you made money with that Sanqi, so..."

Hearing that Zhang Juhua put down what she was doing, she felt that the village chief had to investigate this matter carefully, but he couldn't set the mountain on fire just because his family made money, right?Although the fire did not reach her family's land, the fields of two families who planted Panax notoginseng were burnt. If it was really man-made, they must be picked up and cleaned up!
Maybe one day she will do such a wicked thing again, and then her family may not be so lucky.

But what Zhang Juhua thought of, someone had thought of it a long time ago. Now the yard of the village head's house was full of people, asking the village head what to do about it. He didn't know what was going on, he had to wait until dawn to go up the mountain to check it out!
