Tang Yong patted He Dachun, "You boy had a gloomy face all day long, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that we had escaped from the famine together, I knew that you had a bad temper and a good mind, otherwise I would fight him. I don't want to persuade you."

  He Dachun smiled shyly, "That's why adversity sees true love!" Li Yu's carriage arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, and Han San and Haitang greeted him, bowed and saluted, "Madam, you are here!"

  Li Yu got out of the car and looked at the two with a smile, "Yeah! Let me see how the sweet potato seedlings look like."

  Haitang smiled and said, "It's great to grow green."

  Li Yu saw that the fence at the entrance had been enclosed, and two tenants were busy inside. He stood outside the fence and took a look. He saw that the field ridges had been opened and the surrounding drainage ditches had been dug.

   Seeing Li Yu looking towards the ground, Tang Yong and He Dachun bowed to Li Yu cautiously.

  Li Yu nodded with a smile, Chu Fu got out of the car, walked up, and smiled at Li Yu: "Mrs. Li, Wangjiaao is a really good place! It's just a little farther from the capital."

   "It's a little farther away. To have such a Zhuangzi, is it all thanks to His Majesty's gift!"

Chu Fu smiled and nodded, "Yeah! Where can I find Zhuangzi near Kyoto? It has been divided up long ago. I heard yesterday that the rich businessman who bought Zhou Da's family and sold Zhuangzi wanted to sell that Zhuangzi. , I don't know if Mrs. Li intends to buy it back."

   Li Yu was a little tempted, "Oh! Did the news come out only yesterday?"

   "Yes, that land is right next to Huangzhuang. If Madam wants to buy it back, I still have some friendship with him."

   "Okay, please take care of it and buy it back at the current market price."

  Chu Fu nodded in response, and Li Yu turned to Han San and his wife and said, "This is Manager Chu, the manager of Huangzhuang, who will come to Zhuangzi to see sweet potato seedlings these days."

   "Yes, ma'am." After Han San and Haitang responded, they saluted, "I have seen the chief executive."

   "Han Zhuangtou, Mrs. Han is polite." Chu Fu also smiled back.

   Several people entered the yard and arrived at the pit where the sweet potato seedlings were raised. Li Yu saw that the sweet potato seedlings were well managed by Han San and his wife, and looked at Haitang with satisfaction, "It really is growing well."

   Get Li Yu's affirmation, Haitang is also very happy, "Madam, wait, I'll get the bag and scissors."

   Begonia and Mrs. Han San brought the basket, Li Yu took the apricot flower and Begonia to cut off the sweet potato seedlings, cut off the two leaves at the root, and mentioned it to the field outside the house, seeing that Tang Yong and He Dachun had finished their work and left.

  Li Yu started transplanting with a few people. Chu Fu and Jixiang also got busy together.

  Li Yu transplanted a row, and Haitang smiled and said, "Madam, it's just this piece, we can plant it, you go up and rest."

  Li Yu saw that the begonias and apricots were being planted swiftly, so he stood up and said some precautions to Chu Fu who was planting beside him.

   "Steward Chu, the field ridges where sweet potato seedlings are planted should be dug high, and more fertilizer should be applied under the seedbed. The seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to six inches long. After transplanting, a sprinkling of grass ash will help the sweet potato seedlings pass the slow seedling period."

Chu Fu nodded and asked in a puzzled manner, "Mrs. Li, everything else is planted vertically. I see that when you plant these sweet potato seedlings, you always plant the potato seedlings and then lay them flat on the seedbed. Why are you planting like this?"

   "The yield of sweet potatoes grown in this way is higher. After this batch grows, it can be transplanted again. Each sweet potato seedling is cut as long as five or six leaves.

When planting, cut off two leaves and plant the same way as before. After planting, lie flat on the seedbed and cover with soil, exposing two or three leaves on the ground. My master said, this is called a seedling. Insert two lie down three look up,

   When the sweet potato vines grow to a certain point, fertilize along the tip of the seedlings, so that they cannot grow too many rhizomes and affect the yield of sweet potatoes. "

   No wonder Mrs. Li's crops are well grown. Each of them has so much to pay attention to. Fortunately, Mrs. Li taught us this selflessly, so that we can avoid detours.

  Chu Fu calculated in his heart, "Mrs. Li, if you can grow this potato seedling and cut a batch, you can plant a lot of land again."

   "Yes, after the sweet potato vines grow, you can pick up the sweet potato stems and sweet potato tips and fry them. It tastes good, and the sweet potato vines can also be fed to pigs."

  Chu Fu nodded again and again after hearing this, "This thing is good, it is full of treasures like corn, Madam's master must be a master from the world who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests."

  Li Yu had to say: "Probably so! I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and I don't know if he is still there."

   "The old gods have to see their luck when they meet each other." Chu Fu said with a smile.

   Mrs. Yun came to Tanabe with some tea, "Madam, Mrs. Han has cut off some bamboo shoots. Do you want to bring some back to the city?"

   "Okay, bring some more home, and send some to the family."

   Mrs. Yun went back to cook after leaving. Seeing that Chu Fu and Jixiang were busy planting sweet potato seedlings together, Li Yu went back to the back mountain with a hoe, thinking of the black things he saw that day.

   Walking to the lotus pond, he saw that the gate of the lotus pond had been taken down and put on the ground. Several handsomely dressed men were sitting in the pavilion and talking loudly. Li Yu frowned and walked straight over.

   A man saw Li Yu walking by the lotus pond and shouted, "Look, there are such beautiful women in the countryside."

   "Be quiet, don't offend anyone who doesn't know." A man said.

   "Brother Liu is right. His Majesty Zhuangzi near the lotus pond gave it to Lord Hubu Zhou. He is a person who spoils his daughter-in-law. Last time Lord Libu..."

  Li Yu heard a few people talking about Zhou Jia and wondered where Zhou Jia had gone?

   At the foot of the mountain, he looked at the chickens and ducks that were being fed in the bamboo forest, and Li Yu climbed the mountain along the path.

Walking to the back of the mountain, he used a **** to dig out a few blocks of black, metallic and shiny blocks, showing a happy smile, "Yes, it's coal, this piece should be an open-pit coal mine, I don't know which kind it is. coal."

   Lightly tapped with a hoe, the stones were scattered, and Li Yu found that the coal was fractured into a shell-like shape.

   He took a **** and took a few steps to dig a little, then kept walking forward for more than half an hour before finishing the exposed coal layer.

Thinking that he had been here for so long, he had never seen anyone use coal for heating and cooking. Li Yu dug up some vines, made a small net bag, picked up the broken coal and put it in, and walked back with it. .

  Recalling the appearance of briquettes and coal stoves, I plan to go back to the brick kiln to make several coal stoves.

   Walking to the bamboo forest, Mrs. Yun had already looked for it. Seeing Li Yu, she smiled and said, "Madam, the meal is ready. Xinghua said you came to the foot of the mountain, and I found you here."

   He took the **** that Li Yu was carrying, and saw the black stone in the rattan net, "Madam, what is this thing? It's black and shiny."

   Li Yu smiled and said, "I don't know either. I dug some out of my curiosity and took it back to see."

   "You have a good eye, maybe you will find another good thing."
