On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone reluctantly sent Su Zhan out of the capital.
Leaving with Su Zhan was a letter written by Shen Xingluo to Shen Mantun of Shenjia Village.
After the Lantern Festival, the spirit of the New Year gradually faded away. All kinds of lanterns on the main streets of the capital were also removed, leaving only two lanterns in front of each shop for lighting.
Of course, except the Shen Family Courtyard.
The trophies from the little girl’s sweep of a street are still hung all over the wall. In the evening, they are all lit up, which is very interesting.
The little girl smiled happily.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is over and everyone is one year older.
After Shen Xingluo's holiday, he started to go to the Hanlin Academy to take up his duties step by step. Qin Zheng and Yu Heting came to have a meal from time to time, and the Shen family courtyard returned to its former peace.
However, only Cheng Xi enjoys this peace, and others do not have this treatment.
Cheng Daqian is restless. Ever since he learned that he had opened a virtual training room in the apocalypse, he has almost never returned. He often disappears after he goes there. He eats three meals a day and buys a quick meal in the supermarket. Food solution.
Mr. Xu fell in love with modern Western medicine. He kept holding a tablet explaining Western medicine surgeries. At first he even exclaimed to express his surprise, but later he could even perform anatomy without changing his expression.
The young group composed of brother and sister Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu officially started their primary school classes. Their daily study plan was clearly arranged, and there was no shortage of homework and homework.
However, for their age, the primary school curriculum is too simple. There is no need to learn Chinese and English. Natural sciences only need to be understood. Today, they will understand how wind and rain are formed, and tomorrow, they will take a look at the land under their feet. How big it is, it can be used as extracurricular reading.
After all, the only subject that can be called a course is mathematics.
It can be said that there is no pressure.
"Is this the reason why you spend most of the day watching TV dramas and reading novels?"
Cheng Xi caught the trio chasing dramas for the 101st time, and felt that the scene in front of him was familiar yet distant.
Who didn’t come here like this back then?
My parents study diligently at home and turn on the TV in one second at work. If the first thing my parents do when they come back is to touch the back of the TV’s head, they will definitely be burned to the point of questioning their life.
“This, our homework is done, 100 points.”
The little girl who was caught by her parents pointed her finger in guilt, "And you can learn a lot by reading the story."
Huh?
The little girl still has this consciousness?
"Tell me, what did you learn?"
Cheng Xi became interested and pulled up a stool to sit next to him and planned to listen.
Shen Xingqi's back was straight and her expression was serious, "In general, the world is dangerous, the court is treacherous, the harem is deceitful, and the shopping mall is full of smoke."
"." It's so insightful.
If I hadn’t heard the hahaha noises you made from time to time, I would have almost believed it.
***
In mid-February, the weather is getting warmer.
The spring sunshine in the capital is warm, green buds are gradually sprouting out of the originally gray grasslands and mountain forests, and everything is revived.
Two inconspicuous carriages drove slowly out of the capital, and soon arrived at the gate of a village, where the stewards were already waiting.
"Welcome to you, Master, Madam, Second Young Lady."
Shen Xingluo looked over, "Wang An?"
"He is a subordinate."
"Have you done what you were told?"
"Go back to the master, it's all done."
Wang An is a man in his thirties, who was arranged by Su Zhan years ago For those who entered Zhuangzi, the original stewards and servants had been dismissed when Zhuangzi transferred the ownership.
After Wang An took over, he bought several servants from Ren Yazi who signed death contracts, and now they are all standing behind him waiting.
“My subordinates have led people to reclaim twenty acres of good farmland. The land was plowed three days ago and is ready for planting.”
He reported the recent arrangements one by one, "Some of the original tenant farmers on Zhuangzi did not want to rent, so my subordinates adjusted the fields and connected them together, freeing up more than ten acres."
"Enough. "Yes." Shen Xingluo glanced over and looked away when he saw several young men who were respectful and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Unload the potato seedlings that have been raised on the car, and we will go to the fields together later."
Wang An was overjoyed when he heard this, "Yes."
The man walked towards the second carriage in three steps and two steps at a time. When he opened the curtain and saw the dense green seedlings placed inside, his eyes filled with tears and he was so excited.
Potato seedlings!
Those are potato seedlings.
One acre can produce four to five thousand kilograms of potato seedlings!
A few years ago, the output of potatoes shocked the government and the public. The potatoes that Song Zhi transported to Beijing were targeted by many people. In addition to being dispersed to various states for promotion of planting, some of them also flowed into the Zhuangzi of various powerful families in batches. Just waiting for the first wave of dividends from this year’s harvest.
Although Wang An knew that the potatoes were originally discovered in Shenjia Village where his master lived, he never expected that they could be grown in the village he managed.
What a blessing!
He could also see with his own eyes how potatoes grow and produce fruit.
"Don't worry, Master, I will do my best to plant these potato seedlings."
He swore!
Shen Xingluo glanced at the man whose hands were shaking, "You know how to plant?"
Wang An: "."
Cheng Xi snorted, "Manager Wang is very ambitious."< br>
“Ashamed, ashamed, it’s my subordinate’s fault.”
“It’s okay.”
Cheng Xi pointed at the No. 1 Scholar, "Your master will teach you."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance."
So Cheng Xi really didn't care anymore and simply did it neatly. He left all the potato planting matters to Shen Xingluo, and he pulled the two little girls back to the mountain.
In spring, the most indispensable thing in the mountains and fields is wild vegetables.
Each of them was wandering around carrying a small bamboo basket. When passing by the field, Shen Xingluo was planting potato seedlings with Fuguang. The rows of cultivated seedlings looked full of vitality.
Wang An and others worked equally vigorously.
"Sister-in-law, shall we eat wild vegetables today?"
"Yes, there are many people eating at noon, let's make some vegetable dumplings, and then use garlic paste to make a sauce for dipping."< br>
"Okay!"
The empty bamboo basket was quickly filled. Shepherd's purse and bitter greens were almost everywhere. They were only about the size of a tiger's mouth. When it was time to eat, just shovel them with a small shovel Can be pulled up easily.
When the three of them returned and passed the field again, most of the potato seedlings were gone. Wang An was standing at the edge of the field, looking at the wilted potato seedlings that had been planted and sighing.
Three people: "."
Does this person not know that green seedlings return to the sun right after they are planted?
“Sister-in-law, is the person Su Zhan is looking for reliable?”
“It’s hard to say.”
Cheng Xi hesitated, "It shouldn't be a big problem."
We can't do stupid things in the future that would only encourage others.
"Don't worry, the potato seedlings are easy to maintain. They can grow if you give them some soil."
Shen Xingqi thought about it. The land in Shenjia Village was not taken care of last year, so she couldn't change it. The place won’t work.
“I think Uncle Mantun should be growing potatoes at home by now.”
The little girl was right. Zhuangzi from various aristocratic families in the capital were not the only ones planting potatoes at this time. Shenjia Village thousands of miles away was also busy.
