The Buddhist lady travels through ancient times to live a leisurely life
Chapter 36 Farming (Part )
Yun Xi is quite familiar with agriculture and animal husbandry.
In the era when she lived, due to environmental pollution, pesticide residues, soil degradation and other reasons, wealthy people all pursued pure natural organic food. Yun Xi's family had an organic farm, which required a lot of money and manpower to maintain every year.
She also followed the trend and contracted an acre of land in a public welfare organic farm, and occasionally worked there.
When the steward of the manor knew that his master had arrived, he immediately came forward to greet them and arranged them into a courtyard.
This farm is very large, and most of the land on the farm is rented out to local villagers for cultivation. Only a small part is left for their own people, who also hire local villagers to cultivate it and are considered long-term workers. The output of this "private plot" is mainly to meet the needs of the Mu family.
After putting the things away, Yun Xi did not rest. After sitting in the carriage for more than an hour, she felt almost stiff and needed to get up and walk around.
Mu Jinyan woke up as soon as he got off the carriage. At that time, he was held in Yun Xi's arms.
The little guy adapted well. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He looked at the unfamiliar environment with his big eyes, then looked at the familiar faces around him. He was very calm.
Mu Xuan wanted to take him over, but he refused.
When Yun Xi carried him into the yard, he woke up completely. There was light in his eyes and he found everything new and interesting.
"Let's go out and take a look, shall we? Have you ever seen green fields before, Yan?"
"No."
Mu Jinyan said.
In the past, he rarely left the general's mansion. He only went to his grandparents' house occasionally, but he just moved from one big house to another. He had never seen such an empty environment before.
Mu Jinyan took Yun Xi's hand and walked out.
Except for Qiu Ye who stayed behind to boil water and make tea, everyone else followed behind and walked out, with the steward accompanying them.
At this time, the wheat has already headed, and the green and lush field looks very fresh and comfortable. In the vegetable field, celery, leeks, and onions have already grown.
Yun Xi looked at it and introduced it to Mu Jinyan.
“The food we eat is grown from the land.”
"See that big green field? That's wheat. When it's ripe, it can be ground into flour. We can eat food made from flour almost every day."
Mu Jinyan listened with great interest.
Regardless of whether he could understand or not, the other person's attitude was really nice.
After walking around for a while, Yun Xi said to the steward, "I want to plant something. Is there any vacant land on the farm?"
The steward thought for a moment and said, "We have planted everything that could be planted before, and only some corners and margins are left."
"That's enough."
Yun Xi put forward detailed requirements, including how the land should be prepared and to what extent the water should be applied.
Although she has only done limited farm work herself, she has a wealth of theoretical knowledge.
The manager called a few long-term workers to help and asked them to prepare the land according to Yun Xi's requirements.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to plant?"
"I got some seeds by chance from a Hu merchant before. He praised them to the skies and I spent all my pocket money on them. After I bought them, I thought I might have been cheated, but I didn't dare tell my father because I was afraid he would scold me. Now, I want to plant some to try and confirm whether I was cheated or not."
Mu Xuan twitched his lips and asked, "Did that Hu Shang tell me what kind of seeds these are?"
"I told you."
Yun Xi took her package and took out a wooden box, which was divided into many small grids, each containing a type of seed. She carefully selected the seeds that were suitable for planting in this season. There were peanuts, corn, cucumbers, rapeseed, eggplant, peppers, and cumin.
