After the meal, I slipped around for a few laps to digest food. Su Jing was full at noon.Work vigorously in the afternoon.Yang Rong and Yang Qi reclaimed the other half of the land in the courtyard.With integrity, Su Jing sprinkled the ash he had saved on the ground to make fertilizer.He took the shovel and turned it over again to fully mix the plant ash with the soil. After a while of drying, Su Jing began to pant.People really can't be lazy.This is lazy for a long time.Su Jing felt that his body was not used to working, and it was somewhat difficult.Frowning, Su Jing gritted his teeth and didn't stop.It was not easy for him and Geng Zhi to reclaim half of this half of the land.Su Jing asked Geng Zhi to bring him to soak the seeds.The two hugged out the ditch and planted the seeds. Because they were vegetable seeds, they needed to be planted shallowly, so there was no need to dig deep ditch.Take the rapeseed out of the water and spread it evenly in the furrows.Covered with thin soil, Yueying and Yuexue brought a bucket of water to water the land evenly.

Su Jing continued to attack the outer quarter of the field with integrity.Because the ground has been turned over once, the soil is soft.Their progress is much faster than the previous two days.By the time it gets dark, half of the yard has been planted with vegetables.Half bok choy, half spinach are fast growing leafy greens.In the evening, Su Jing felt powerless and was too tired to lift his arms. The two maids made simple porridge and pickles, and a few of them took a bite.I ate the boiled pork slices made by Su Jing at noon, and now I feel a little tasteless when I drink white porridge. The spicy and delicious boiled pork slices at noon seem to be still on the tip of my tongue.After drinking the porridge, I feel like a bird is fading out of my mouth.After all, it is the master, and the master is still so tired, it is not easy for them to complain as servants.After taking a bite, I went to rest.After washing, Su Jingwo fell into a deep sleep on the warm big bed.

After several days of struggle, Su Jing's former small courtyard has been turned into a vegetable field.Added peas, beans, peppers, and tomatoes.Su Jing's two servants are also hardworking. Knowing that Su Jing plans to reclaim the big yard, they turned over the land in the big yard in the past few days.It was well received by Su Jing.

Geng Nursing House, who hadn't seen him for a few days, finally took a break.He has heard about the second young master's wife paying attention to the improvement of his treatment.Today, I also saw with my own eyes that the small courtyard has changed a lot.But I still couldn't help worrying about my younger brother being bullied, so I secretly visited my younger brother during today's break.Seeing people is just darker, taller and fatter, and still has Su Jing's trust.Rong was promoted to a first-class servant and was treated well, so he was relieved.Geng Nuyuan didn't come empty-handed this time.Brought the hottest sweet potato outside now.I heard it was imported from Fanbang.They are rare and expensive.Su Jing took the sweet potato and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but scold these foreigners as profiteers.Isn't it just potatoes?Give it a foreign name and raise the price.Used to bragging.Geng Nuyuan was still talking vividly. "I heard that it tastes good. It's not suitable for large-scale planting in our area. It needs to be imported from other countries, and the price is very high. Now all forces are proud of dreaming sweet potatoes." Su Jing rolled his eyes, and this broken potato is special. It is easy to plant and mass-produce, and it can even earn foreign exchange.Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with business.Geng Nursing Academy continued. "We have also sent people to try it, but there is no way to grow it. Now that things are rare and expensive, the price of sweet potatoes brought by Fanbang has doubled. Just a dozen sweet potatoes cost five taels of silver. I heard that some The price is higher in other places." Geng Nuyuan said that it caused everyone to sigh, it is really not something ordinary people can afford.Although Geng Nuyuan said so, he didn't spend any money on these potatoes.Because the Yushifu is on duty, he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, so he has some face outside.These potatoes were used by the people below to honor him.He was not willing to eat and brought it to his brother.Su Jing smiled, this is a good opportunity to make money.Now that potatoes are so expensive, he can grow potatoes and sell them for a good profit.Geng Huyuan also said that those Fanbang people also brought a kind of sweet potato with red flesh. He was on a business trip and tasted sweet and glutinous.The price is also more expensive than this potato.Sweet potato Su Jianliang didn't even want to roll his eyes after hearing his description.Isn't it the most common sweet potato, an uninformed earth leopard.Orally, he told Geng Nuyuan to find a way to buy some.Geng Nursing Academy agreed.Su Jing decided to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in the compound.Then it is specially sold to the dignitaries in Beijing and China who don't know the goods.Thinking that the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the modern rotten street can also make a small amount of money.Su Jing can wake up from a dream with a smile.

But there is also a problem, the field outside is twice the size of my small yard, and I don't have so much plant ash.It is impossible to get a pile of manure to make fertilizer for a while.But if there is no fertilizer, potatoes and sweet potatoes will not grow big, and they will not be sold at a good price.Su Jing walked back and forth anxiously.See the lotus pond in the courtyard.It suddenly occurred to me that the silt in the water can also be used as fertilizer?Just do it, Geng Huyuan was temporarily arrested by Su Jing.Let guard Geng and two young men go into the water and dig mud in the diving place.Throw the mud into the bucket.He and Geng Zhi were responsible for pulling the barrel ashore.The two little girls also wanted to help, but Su Jing refused.The little girl should be beautiful.This dirty and tiring job is suitable for their men.Geng Nuyuan was arrested and the young man didn't think so.He has a strong body and is not afraid of this little water.Those who took the lead took the lead in entering the water.The water in early spring is still a little cold, so it doesn't feel like you just go into the water.Su Jing asked the two little girls to prepare ginger soup and clean clothes.When it's over, change and wash a few people.Going down into the water, the three guards Geng scooped up the mud with shovels.After a long time of neglect, a thick layer of rotten leaves and mud piled up.It's easy to shovel.Buckets of silt were fished out and piled together.A few people cooperated tacitly and worked quickly.

Suddenly Guard Geng touched a box.

"Look, I caught a treasure."

Su Jing and the others stood on the shore watching Geng Nuyuan holding a box.Geng Nuyuan directly handed the box to Su Jing.Everyone gathered around curiously, and the box had been cleaned. About 30 cm in size.There is a small lock on the box.The box is well sealed.Seeing that there is no water, how could it sink to the bottom of the water?Maybe someone accidentally fell in it before?Maybe it's really a baby.

Moon Shadow on one side has some knowledge.I looked at it and said, "This box is made of red sandalwood, with exquisite carvings. The box alone is very valuable. Open it and have a look, it must be a good treasure. Many rich families use this kind of box to store their treasures. But the general red sandalwood There are more medicines packed in wood. But some are also used to pack jade."

Su Jing became interested when he heard what she said, based on the principle that what he picked up in his yard was his.Let Geng Zhi bring the hammer, and Geng Huyuan broke the small lock on the box with his hands.The lock of such a good baby must be relatively strong. Who would have thought that the lock would be knocked open with two hammers.Open it to a smaller box wrapped in a lot of brocade.Su Xing feels that he has been fooled, he has often encountered this kind of nesting doll box in modern times.There is a box on the first floor.Open the first floor and there is another box. In the end, there is a useless thing or a note, most of which are tricks.It doesn't look like there's anything good in this box either.Su Jing planned to give up.The girl on the side was quite curious.I kept urging him to open it and take a look.Su Jing opened the lock again.Sure enough, as he had guessed, there was a square two-centimeter box inside this small box.The box has no lock and only a pattern on the side.Su Jing looked at it for a long time but didn't see any lock or keyhole.It also cannot be opened directly.Geng Nuyuan took a look and said it should be a baby.This is called a mechanism box. Its pattern is a linkage mechanism. Turn several pieces of the jigsaw puzzle at the same time. Only when the pattern is put together, the box will be opened. Generally, it is used to contain some extremely confidential and important things.Moreover, the average rich family would not be able to use it. The owner of this box must be either rich or expensive.Preserved with such care, there may be some rare treasures inside.

"Then will you open it?" Su Jing asked, Geng Nuyuan shook his head,

"I'm just a big bastard. I can't do the work of playing with my brain. You can go to the eldest son, maybe he knows the way."

Su Jing pouted.He wanted to go too, but his cheap elder brother went to school, a cheating boarding school.I won't be back until the holidays.He won't be unable to open it himself.Su Jing lost interest.Throwing the box aside, Yueying firmly believed that there must be some treasure in the box.He planned to put it away until the young master came back, and asked the young master to find him to help open it.So he put it away thoughtfully and put it in the money box under Su Jing's bed.Su Jing quickly put the matter of the box behind her.Focus on salvaging silt.Unexpectedly, this activity of saving fertilizer, with the discovery of the box, developed into a treasure hunting game. The three of them dug a lot of things in the pond one after another.Some are valuable, some are worthless, and there are all kinds of things.Yang Qi also picked up a gold ingot.There are also some weird little boxes, but there is nothing good in the little boxes when they are opened, they are all worthless rags, maybe someone used it as a treasure hiding place, or accidentally dropped it in.After a while, I picked up a small pile, which is also considered a windfall.Occasionally, one or two human or animal bones can be picked up, and the Geng Nursing House even found a skull.However, it was quickly disposed of by Geng Nuyuan without being noticed by others.Su Jing saw that the digging was almost done, and these were enough fertilizer for the yard.So the treasure hunting trio was called off.Let the servant girl boil warm water to rinse the three of them, and bring ginger soup to drive away the cold.The harvest in front of me is full, and Jingle has blossomed.I am happy to announce that today's pond digging activity has come to a successful conclusion.
