Chapter 276 276. What a big number
Meeting Qu Shaojing, who was being hunted by assassins, was nothing more than a trivial matter for Cheng Xi.
After someone from Wu'an Hou Mansion took him away, he entered the small courtyard and regained his composure. I don't know what his instructions were. In the following few days, Cheng Xi did not notice any difference from the past.
"It seems that the cynical young prince's words are somewhat safe."
No one will trouble the Shen family in the future, that's great.
With this thought in mind, Cheng Xi picked up the kettle and watered the three layers of vegetables in the yard.
“It’s growing well, you can pick some with big leaves and eat them.”
“It’s been more than 20 days since I planted this vegetable, and it’s only because of the good weather that it’s growing so fast.”
Shen Xingqi couldn't help but pinch a piece of lettuce leaf, rinsed it under water for a while and put it in her mouth, "It's crispy and has a faint sweetness. You can put it in the noodle soup tomorrow morning."< br>
“Just tonight.”
Cheng Xi smiled and said, "The test will be over this afternoon. Why don't you make some fish soup to replenish your brother's health? Add some vegetable leaves and mix it with meat and vegetables."
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Go buy fish now!"
Shen Xingqi took Wangshu and went out, "Sister-in-law. , I’ll leave it to you to pick up my brother!”
“You want some fish soup? Girl Xingqi, please buy more. If you have bigger fish, buy more fish with stuffing. The pills are delicious!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Xu, I’ve remembered them.”
Not long after the two girls left, Su Zhan returned with several letters and handed a thick stack of letters to Cheng Xi.
"Madam, this is a letter from Hongwei Escort."
"Just take care of it yourself. Is there anything important?"
"Cheng The master has arrived at Lin'an Mansion with the escort agency. In addition, the Shen family There was also a letter sent from the village." Cheng Xi took out two letters from a pile of letters and tore open Cheng Daqian's letter first. As always, his father kept nagging about how his precious son-in-law Yan Ming would not be released after the exam. When she came out to drink more soup, Yunyun made her mouth twitch.
The word "release" is used very expressively.
"It seems that even having a son-in-law who can read can't improve my father's cultural quality."
The last letter did come from Shenjiacun, but it was not sent by Shen Mantun Come, the person who wrote the letter is Shen Qingsong.
"Qingsong has been admitted to Huaiyuan Academy? This is a good thing."
"Master Qingsong originally wanted to join the Fifth Prince's Army, but the young master asked him to stay at the academy before leaving Lin'an Mansion. It’s two years, and it’s not too late to consider it when you’re fifteen.”
Shen Qingsong's letter is very long. The first few letters are all about the current situation of Huaiyuan Academy. There is no impetuousness in the words, which is enough to show that he also likes it very much.
“If you want to make great achievements and become a general, you must be familiar with the art of war.”
If you don’t have a good mind, no matter how powerful your force is, you will inevitably be deceived.
Cheng Xi turned back one after another, and the next few pages wrote about the current situation of Shenjia Village.
The grape vines and cherry trees planted at the foot of Shennong Mountain are growing well. Since they are old trees, they will be harvested next year. The whole village has used the ten acres of potatoes to breed and plant them. Now the mountains and fields are full of potato plants. The growth is gratifying.
"I remember that the second season potatoes were planted in early July?"
"Yes, it has been nearly two months now."
Then they can be harvested in mid or late September.
Cheng Xi calculated in the center of his mind that a total of 45,000 kilograms of potatoes were harvested from ten acres of land, and each acre required about 300 kilograms of seeds. So wouldn’t it be possible to harvest 675,000 kilograms of potatoes from the second crop?
What a big number!
At this rate, it can be expanded to more than 2,000 acres next spring, and it will be spread throughout Lin'an Prefecture in autumn.
