Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Young Master Zhou ordered the carriage driver to take them to Xu Ning's house.

After the coachman got out of the car, he found that the door of Xu's house was closed. He knocked on the door and called for someone, but no one responded at all.

Before Young Master Zhou could ask, Lu Ba took the lead in explaining: "Hey, there is a rush to harvest rice in Pingle Village these days. There are only three people in the Xu family, and they should be busy in the fields."

Young Master Zhou's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Xu Ying: "Madam, it seems that we came back at the wrong time."

Lu Ba felt flustered for no reason and subconsciously moved outside.

Xu Ying didn't notice anything strange and replied: "Mr., why don't we come back another day."

Young Master Zhou remained silent.

Lu Ba shrank into a ball as soon as he saw Young Master Zhou's expression, wishing he could hide himself in the cracks in the ground.

Young Master Zhou glanced at Lu Ba with cold eyes and said something that made him tremble with fear: "I haven't been to the Lu family yet, why don't we visit the Lu family and then go back home."

Instead of saying anything, Lu Ba wanted to run away. Xu Ying finally saw something was wrong with Lu Ba: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lu Ba faced Young Master Zhou's cannibalistic gaze and said stutteringly: "No, no, I'm fine. My nephew and son-in-law are welcome to visit my home."

The Lu family's family situation was not much better than that of Xu Ying's family. Young Master Zhou remembered that he was a guest and did not show any expression that he shouldn't have.

However, Lu Ba was very clearly aware of Young Master Zhou's dislike and disgust for his family. He had an idea and took the initiative to invite Young Master Zhou into his room: "Young Master Zhou, why don't you come and sit in my room?"

"Do it?"

Young Master Zhou's eyes changed and his tone was playful.

Lu Bazhen

Come to understand why Young Master Zhou looked at him with such strange eyes. At that time, he was about to cry but had no way to ask for help. He was so smart.

Xu Ying knocked on the door three times in a row to remind her. Master Zhou sent her away with three different reasons. Finally, he pulled Lu Ba's hair and warned: "You'd better shut your mouth tightly. Otherwise..."

Lu Ba regrets that he was so smart that he was misled by his cleverness!

Young Master Zhou left the Lu family with a satisfied expression.

As for Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning, he has forgotten them.

It is the busy farming season, and farmers are busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, with few days of leisure.

Farmers face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, so they have to look at the sky to eat.

If the weather is good, then God will give you food.

Whenever there are floods, droughts, or locust plagues, and households without much food left at home are bound to tighten their belts to survive.

Huo Yunchao arrived at a good time. In the next two years, the Dasheng Dynasty will be smooth and there will be no major disasters or epidemics.

After years of fighting, the Great Victory Dynasty entered a stage of recuperation and recuperation. Taxes and corvees were very low, giving the people enough time to develop.

In two years, Huo Yunchao was confident that he could pull the Huo and Xu families to work together and accumulate sufficient resources to deal with future risks.

The Xu family has a small population, with only three people in total, one of whom is a useless scholar who cannot lift his hands or shoulders.

Liu Lezi and his ilk were just waiting to see a good show. They deliberately wandered around the fields of the Xu family every day to "appreciate" how Huo Yunchao worked with sweat and saw him reduced to a plucked phoenix after losing the appearance of a scholar.

Huo Yunchao didn't let these busybodies who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously get their wish. He didn't have him.

Father Xu and his wife are very strong, but he is better because of his good brain, broad knowledge and large reserve of knowledge.

He was thinking about how to improve production efficiency under limited conditions, and applied the push sickle, a tool suitable for harvesting rice.

The pushing sickle is a harvesting agricultural tool created by Wang Zhen, an agronomist in the Song Dynasty. This agricultural tool is made of wood with a horizontal frame and a long handle, and is equipped with small wheels for harvesting. It can improve work efficiency several times more than ordinary sickles.

Others, such as cymbals for harvesting rice, knives for cutting wheat ears, and knives for cutting grain ears, also played an important role in improving harvesting efficiency.

In the days before harvesters, farmers used this agricultural tool to solve a large number of wheat harvesting problems.

Huo Yunchao was responsible for providing ideas, and then after Huo Tianxiang, Huo Yunze, Xu Ning and others brainstormed, they adapted measures to local conditions and used local materials.

The appearance of the push sickle set off a wave of attention in Pingle Village, with relatives and friends constantly borrowing it.

No matter who asked Huo Yunchao how he came up with such an efficient and high-quality new agricultural tool, Huo Yunchao would always say that he learned it from books.

Zheng Shaoxuan asked Huo Yunchao privately where the book was. Huo Yunchao asked him bluntly: "Brother Zheng, my sister-in-law boils eggs for you every day. Do you have to know which hen laid the eggs for you before you eat them?" ?”

Zheng Shaoxuan was startled at first and then laughed. He patted Huo Yunchao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huo, I know this and I won't ask again in the future."

Huo Yunchao hugged him back hard and said frankly: "Brother Zheng, thank you for understanding me. I will do my best to tell and do everything I know that will benefit the people. As for where that knowledge comes from Yes, even if you ask me

Will tell. "

From then on, Zheng Shaoxuan never asked Huo Yunchao where his "wonderful ideas" came from. He would also help Huo Yunchao get out of trouble and prevent others from bothering Huo Yunchao with the same thing.

Huo Yunchao bragged about this to Xu Ning: "Madam, my taste is really good! I first set my sights on the most beautiful, gentle and intelligent girl in the world, and I can still make friends with an upright man like Brother Zheng. Oh my, I Why are you so good?"

"Yes, my husband-in-law is so outstanding! I'm so honored to be favored by such an outstanding person."

Xu Ning never poured cold water on Huo Yunchao. She liked to see Huo Yunchao in high spirits and never worried about Huo Yunchao's arrogance.

Hearing Xu Ning imitate him, Huo Yunchao immediately lost his temper. He supported his head with his right hand and pinched Xu Ning's cheek with his left hand: "Madam, are you trying to bury me?"

Xu Ning raised his hand and took the demonic hand, clasped it with his fingers very skillfully, raised his head and gave Huo Yunchao a mouthful: "No, I am really praising you."

Huo Yunchao's pupils suddenly grew bigger and smaller. He was just about to do something that a hot-blooded young man likes to do, but suddenly he thought that Xu Ning's little life was coming. He gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, don't think that I will let you go during these special days." ! I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Xu Ning didn't feel the slightest threat at all. She chuckled and said, "Really? How are you going to deal with me?"

If you’re a man, you can’t stand it!

Huo Yunchao growled, blocked the small mouth that was teasing his heart, and tried every means to dance with her.

After all the fuss, Xu Ning stared at Huo Yunchao's sleeping face under the bright moonlight, and couldn't help but get close to him.

Go and kiss him.

Since the availability of efficient harvesting tools, the Huo and Xu families have started harvesting rice half a month earlier than in previous years.

Butcher Xu and Huo Tianxiang no longer have to worry about bad weather causing the rice to soak in the ground and be damaged by rain.

The rice harvested by his family and his in-laws were all harvested and returned home to dry. Huo Tianxiang was not idle all day. At Huo Yunchao's reminder, he took the initiative to find the old patriarch of the Huo family and said that he would teach the Huo family's son to make new farm tools so that the Huo family could all enjoy what Huo Yunchao had to offer. The “knowledge dividend” brought about by
