Favorite Planter King

Chapter 62

Ji Yuebai has a very lively personality, which Yin Peinan and Zuo An have known before. When there is no danger, Ji Yuebai is very talkative and can talk about everything.

Yin Peinan and Zuo An had done three missions with Ji Yuebai before. Because Ji Yuebai had good eyesight, he was often sent out to collect mutant plant specimens at that time.

But now, Yin Peinan feels that Ji Yuebai can speak more than his previous life.

Ji Yuebai stood in front of the stove with his waist on his back, watching the water droplets lift the yuba, and exclaimed: "So yuba is made this way? It's quite simple, I thought it was very complicated to make yuba. I used to go to the countryside. I saw villagers make handmade sweet potato flour once, but it was complicated, and it took a lot of effort to stir and leak the flour. I tried it, and I was exhausted."

Yin Peinan nodded and said, "This is not bad. It's simple, but you have to master the heat."

Ji Yuebai looked a little eager to try, and asked Shuizhu, "Sister Shuizhu, can I try it?"

Shuizhu nodded and handed him the long bamboo chopsticks.

Ji Yuebai picked up his chopsticks to learn how the water droplets looked like just now, folded the skin on the surface of the soy milk a little, then picked it up, and put it on the bamboo pole above to drain.

The movements are not too fast, not too slow.

Zheng Wenhao asked Yin Peinan: "What is this? You made it?"

Yin Peinan nodded and replied, "This is a good thing, especially nutritious, I made it at noon for you to try, and you can bring some back later. Give your parents a taste too."

"Okay."

Yin Peinan added: "I'm going to buy more of this thing to sell, and the price will be higher. But the demand for this place in the county seat is definitely not large, and there are probably not many people willing to buy it and eat it, and it will have to be sold in the future. Go to other larger cities, other county capitals, etc. I just want to discuss with you, let's do a small business together."

"What business?"

Yin Peinan told Zheng Wenhao about his and Zuo An's plans. said.

Then he said to him, "Didn't you say before that most of the tea, rice grain by-products in the county seat are controlled by the Lin family? How about we just build a rice grain and agricultural and sideline products store?"

Zheng Wenhao was thinking.

Yin Peinan added: "Have you tried it? The rice we produce is definitely better than the rice shop in the Lin family. And I have already told the people in the village that their rice includes soybeans and peanuts in the future. , I will give priority to selling all the seeds I use to grow. When there are more people to plant, we will also give priority to harvesting them. At that time, I will also tell them the practice of yuba, and we will collect them and sell them exclusively to Outside, you should be able to make a fortune."

With so many people in the village raising ducks, the method of raising ducks in paddy fields will spread next year, and it is estimated that more people will raise ducks. A big question.

If the duck eggs cannot be sold, the farmers will suffer great losses.

Therefore, Yin Peinan and Zuo An wanted to open an agricultural and sideline products store.

In Yin Peinan and Zuo An's conception, in addition to rice, peanuts, soybeans, cotton and their by-products, there are also by-products of duck and duck eggs.

Peanuts can be pressed for peanut oil, soybeans can be made into yuba, and duck eggs can be made into salted duck eggs.

However, they have no contacts, no good sales channels, no foundation in various places, and they don't have so much time to run, so they want to cooperate with the Zheng family.

Zheng Wenhao was a little moved when he heard it, but there was one more question to consider.

He said: "I will discuss this with my father when I go home. You know, the Zheng family and the Lin family do different businesses. We mainly focus on gold shops and cloth houses, and their Lin family mainly focus on tea and rice grains. The family has always maintained a balance in the county town. If we make rice grains, the two families will definitely not be so good in the future."

"Well, I understand this, you go back and discuss it with your uncle. Yin Peinan added, "For so many years, you two have been on equal footing, so it's time to make a move

."

Zheng Wenhao smiled and said, "I'm very willing to make a move."

Yin Peinan thought of one more thing, Said: "By the way, didn't you say before that the eldest young master of the Lin family is going to participate in the spring festival next year? If he wins, then he will be proud of his ancestors, and he will definitely overwhelm you."

Zheng Wenhao nodded and said solemnly: "My father was worried too. This is the question. He was in the middle of the exam before, and his family was faintly pressing us, so my father always wanted me to take the imperial examinations, but unfortunately I am not the material."

Yin Peinan asked: "This time the exam , do you have high hopes?"

Zheng Wenhao scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't know. It depends on luck."

"Is there a big hope for the eldest young master of the Lin family to pass the exam next year?"

Zheng Wenhao thought about it and said, "No It's very clear, I heard that his family is actively helping him and wants to find someone to give him some advice. However, I think it is difficult."

Yin Peinan said: "I still need to be more prepared."

"Yes." Zheng Wenhao sighed.

In Xinping City, the Zheng family is actually richer than the Lin family and is considered the richest man in Xinping County. But because the Zheng family has no relatives in the official family, the closest one is the county magistrate Liu Shangzhi.

And a younger brother of the Lin family married into an official family in Fucheng. Although he was only a small official, he already had a good face in the county. Moreover, the eldest of the Lin family had been awarded a juren the year before, so in the past few years in this county, other aristocratic families have been vaguely following the lead of the Lin family.

The two discussed for a while, and it was time to make lunch.

Because there were six or seven more people, Yin Peinan took the basket and went to the field to pick vegetables again. Zheng Wenhao brought some meat dishes, but the side dishes were not enough.

Zuo An took out the vegetables he brought back before to choose, and Ji Yuebai also dragged a small stool and sat at the door of the stove to help choose vegetables.

The two chatted while choosing dishes.

Zheng Wenhao also got a wooden basin to choose beans, glanced at Ji Yuebai from time to time, and felt that this little brother was completely different from the previous one on the road.

Before that, he was unreasonable and unforgiving, and his arrogant appearance was completely gone. Now this little brother has a lively personality and is very polite.

Even in this farmhouse's kitchen, he didn't show any disgust or discomfort, he wasn't squeamish at all, he even picked up the yuba by himself, and helped Zuo An choose vegetables. He looked quite skilled, not like wealth at all. The appearance of a little brother raised by others.

Zheng Wenhao murmured to himself, is it really like what Anan said, he was in a hurry because he couldn't find the way?

He glanced at it from time to time, and Ji Yuebai naturally noticed it. He looked back openly and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Zheng Wenhao touched his nose, a little embarrassed. However, is this little brother so bold? He also asked the question directly to the man.

Ji Yuebai said again: "Master Zheng, right? I was sorry on the road before, and I was a little angry." The

other side's little brother is so frank, Zheng Wenhao naturally doesn't care about it, he didn't care about it, he said: "It 's okay. "

Ji Yuebai glanced at him and asked, "I heard you say that you just took the township examination? Are you sure you will be successful?"

Zheng Wenhao was a little surprised, he also noticed that he participated in the township examination? Zheng Wenhao shook his head indifferently and said, "I see it hard."

Ji Yuebai asked curiously, "Why are you not sad at all?"

Zheng Wenhao smiled and said, "What's the matter? You know how much you have. Besides, I'm not interested in reading either, it's not that kind of stuff."

"What are you interested in?"

"I want to learn to do business.

" The two of them had a conversation, which led them to talk more.

Zhao Xiu'e and the others also came back from the field, and when they learned that there were guests, they hurried to work, and even caught a chicken and a duck to kill.

Uncle Wang and Ji Yuebai's servant guard met, and they also helped out, the one who burned the fire burned the fire, the one who slaughtered the slaughter, and the one who plucked the hair.

Ning Ge'er and Zuo Baoying also came back not long after. They all go to school by themselves now, and come back after school, without adults picking them up.

When I came back, I saw Zheng Wenhao first. Ning Ge'er had a sweet mouth and rushed over happily, shouting, "Brother Wenhao, are you back?!"

Zheng Wenhao never forgets to bring some snacks, candy, etc. Happy that Zheng Wenhao came over, and as soon as he saw him, he knew there was something delicious.

"Yeah." Zheng Wenhao touched Brother Ning's head and said to him, "I brought you candy and snacks. It's on the table in the main room. Wash your hands and eat it."

"Wow, there's something delicious! Thank you. Brother Wenhao! Sister Yingying, let's go eat candy~" Brother Ning happily went to wash hands with Zuo Baoying.

Ji Yuebai looked at it and sighed with Zheng Wenhao: "You are quite popular with children."

Zheng Wenhao smiled and said, "It's better to coax children." Bring some food and play, and he will think you are very good.

Ji Yuebai shrugged, not thinking so. It's hard to coax a child to cry.

The two little guys had been in class all morning, and they were already starving.

When the two of them each brought a piece of dessert to eat, they found that there were many strangers in the house that they had never seen before.

Ning Ge'er dawdled beside Zuo An, squatted, looked up at Ji Yuebai, and asked Zuo An: "Brother, who is this handsome brother?"

Zuo An glanced at Ji Yuebai and said with a smile: "This handsome My brother is my friend and my name is Ji Yuebai. Do you remember the dried persimmons from Qingzhou before? He gave them to us. Just call me brother Yuebai."

"Oh, the persimmons are delicious, I remember. "Brother Ning nodded, remembering that Brother A said that most of the persimmons were given by others, so it was this handsome brother. He thought that Brother Yueyue was a bit sloppy. He tilted his head to think about it

and asked Ji Yuebai: "Brother Yueyue, okay? Brother Yueyue sounds good." Heartbroken

, he happily said, "Yes."

Brother Ning called sweetly, "Brother Yueyue!"

"Hey." Ji Yuebai replied with a smile.

Ning Ge'er looked at Zheng Wenhao and asked, "Brother Yueyue, are you also a friend of Brother Wenhao?"

"No, we didn't know each other before," Ji Yuebai shook his head, looked at Zheng Wenhao, and said again "However, I know now."

Brother Ning nodded as if he understood, and said, "So that's how it is, I thought you were brother Wenhao's fiancé."

Ji Yuebai looked embarrassed and looked at it embarrassedly Zheng Wenhao glanced at him and found that the other party was also looking at him, so he quickly looked away, and said a little shyly: "No, we didn't know each other before. Why do you think so?"

Ning Ge'er replied: "Because you look good Good-looking, brother Wen Hao is also good-looking. Brother Wen Hao didn't come with anyone before, I thought you came together."

"..." Ji Yuebai couldn't help laughing.

Zuo An patted him on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Xiao Shuitou, how do you know everything?"

Ning Ge'er smiled and replied: "Brother, you are good-looking, my brother is also good-looking, you will be married if you see it. ."

The adults sounded amused.

Unexpectedly, Ning Geer is still a face control. Zuo An took the opportunity to teach him: "Getting married is not only about how good-looking the other person is, but also whether you like it or not, you know? It's useless to have a good-looking face, especially a man. If you only look at the face in the future, you will But I will suffer."

Ning Ge'er was not convinced, and said, "But what if I don't like it?"

Ji Yuebai smiled and said, "It's easy to do, then pick one that looks good. Yes, don't you have to?"

Ning Ge'er clapped his hands and said happily: "Yes, yes, it looks good and likes it, that's fine."

The crowd laughed.

At noon, Zheng Wenhao ate the braised duck with yuba, and he really liked it. He

really felt that the yuba tasted good.

Others also find it delicious.

Take a break after eating.

In the afternoon, after the sun was not shining so brightly, Ji Yuebai said to go to their fields to have a look.

Yin Peinan and the others said yes of course.

While Zuo An went to get the straw hat, Yin Peinan asked Ji Yuebai in a low voice, "Are you still a thief?"

Ji Yuebai used to like Zuo An, although he knew that they had no hope now, he gradually let go, but it's been a long time since he didn't see him. I saw it suddenly, and my mood has not been adjusted for a while.

He was also a little guilty and asked, "...How can I have it?"

Yin Peinan looked at him like a fool and reminded: "Don't stick to the captain so tightly, he is my daughter-in-law."

Ji Yuebai was also speechless: "...I know the two of you. I'm a brother now. Could it be that I want to stick with you?"

Yin Peinan: "..."

Zuo An took out the straw hat and saw the two staring wide-eyed, He asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Peinan took the straw hat in his hand and said, "It's alright, my dear, I'll send it."

A few people set off, they were walking in front, Ji Yuebai's servant and guard were there Followed far behind.

Yin Peinan deliberately stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around Zuo An's waist, walking close to him.

Ji Yuebai rolled his eyes in secret. Show what show, cheapskate!

Zheng Wenhao thought that Ji Yuebai had never seen it before. He was curious about what the crops looked like, and wanted to see something new. Who knew that when he arrived in the field, he was shocked to realize that it was not like that at all.

"It looks good." Ji Yuebai looked at the rice in Yin Peinan's field that was already in the middle of filling, and nodded: "It is indeed better than the rice in the previous village. Why is the rice here so late? It's not that I used the previous rice. Do you have the seeds?"

Ji Yuebai asked, pointing to the rice at the end of its heading in the next field.

Yin Peinan explained, "Our previous first season was about ten days ahead of theirs."

"Oh, that's it." Ji Yuebai looked at the fishing nets and bamboo fences in the fields, and sighed, "The issue of increasing production, There is an upper limit, and if it is raised to a certain level, it is impossible to increase it so fast."

Yin Peinan asked, "What?"

Ji Yuebai glanced at Zheng Wenhao and said, "The fertilizer is insufficient, just rely on the ducks and the seeds themselves. The yield cannot be increased to an ideal level. Without chemical fertilizers, the fertility of the soil will become less and less for a long time, and after a certain level, the yield will be reduced."

Zheng Wenhao asked, "What is the chemical fertilizer?"

Ji Yuebai: "...One Plant fertilizer. If you don't understand this, don't ask." Even if you ask, I don't know how to tell you that we all came from across the country.

Zheng Wenhao touched his nose, well, he really doesn't understand farming. But, "How did you know?"

Ji Yuebai: "...I read a lot!"

Zheng Wenhao, who doesn't like reading books: "...Okay."

Ji Yuebai glared at him: "Why did you follow me to the field?"

Zheng Wenhao Wen Hao: "You're all here, I'll come and have a look."

Ji Yuebai: "..." If you follow, then we can't talk a lot, can we?

Ji Yuebai winked at Yin Peinan and told him to quickly send Zheng Wenhao away.

Yin Peinan had already tried it before, so he said to Ji Yuebai with his lips: "It's okay."

Ji Yuebai sighed softly, forget it, I guess the eldest young master doesn't understand it either.

Then, Zheng Wenhao deliberately pulled Yin Peinan to the back and asked him, "Is this really the young son of the Ji family in Qingzhou City?"

Yin Peinan nodded: "Yes."

Zheng Wenhao was surprised: "How does he know how to farm?

Yin Peinan whispered, "He doesn't really understand farming." "

Ah? Then you asked him so many questions."

Yin Peinan explained, "Although he doesn't know how to farm, he has read a lot of books. I understand these trees, grasses, how

to make the land nutritious, these things are helpful for us to farm. Do you understand?"

"Oh..." Zheng Wenhao suddenly realized: "Is he so powerful?"

Yin Pei Nan nodded: 'Well, very powerful. "Ji Yuebai graduated with a doctorate at the age of 25. He clearly studied plant ecology. When the end of the world came, he went directly to study plant genetics and mutant plants. You said that it is not very powerful.

Fertilizer is indeed a big deal. Question. Zuo An thought about it and asked, "Is there a way to avoid or solve it?

Ji Yuebai thought for a while and said, "Let's use crop rotation . "

"Rotation?" Does the field have to rotate crops too? " Yin Peinan asked.

Ji Yuebai didn't have such a good attitude towards Yin Peinan. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't I tell you before that it's impossible to plant the same crops in a row in a field, and it is easy to cause pests and diseases. The situation is better, but now that there are no fertilizers and pesticides, we must avoid them as much as possible."

"Then what do you want to grow?" Yin Peinan scratched his head and said, "If you want to rotate crops in the field, other crops are not comparable to rice. It's a suitable cycle. It can't be all seasons without planting, right?"

Ji Yuebai said: "You don't need to have only one season. Soybeans can be rotated every season. You can also rotate throughout the year, with one or two fields every year, and a cycle of several years. , that's fine. As long as you don't plant this continuously, change it to improve the soil structure, and the stems and leaves of the crops after the rotation can also be used as green manure."

"Speaking of green manure, you wait." Ji Yuebai walked on the ridge After a few steps, he bent down and pinched a weed, and came back and said to them, "Green manure is a good thing. If you make good use of it, it can improve soil fertility and prevent the loss of soil nutrients. Have you seen this thing before, grass seeds, scientific name of Ziyunying , is a very good green manure crop."

Yin Peinan looked at this little green grass and said, "I saw purple flowers in many fields in the winter, right?"

Ji Yuebai nodded and said: " That's right, this is the one. Farmers spread this in the fall to use green manure over the winter to fertilize the fields. When ploughing the fields in the next spring, you can just plough the fields directly. This is the most convenient green manure."

Yin Peinan scratched Scratching his head, he had always wondered that this kind of thing was in large areas in the fields, didn't it absorb all the nutrients? It can be used as fertilizer.

He said, "I thought this was grown in the wild. Did it turn out to be a specially sown seed?"

"Well, not only this, there are many other green manure plants, but this is the most common."

"I know Now, we will collect some more." Yin Peinan asked again, "When did you spread it?"

Ji Yuebai thought for a while, and said, "I remember it's usually about half a month before the rice matures."

"Okay, I remember, are there other green manures besides this one?"

Ji Yuebai said, "A lot, rat thatch. , Tiaozi, broad beans are all good, oh, even the vine leaves of cowpea can also be used, you can also sprinkle some radishes in the fields in winter, and the radish vines can also be used to fertilize fields. There are many others that can be used as composting compost..."

Yin Pei Nan was a little bit confused: "Wait, what does the mouse thatch look like? What does the scorpion look like? It may be called differently from what you said, I don't know what it is."

Ji Yuebai: "..."

So, Ji Yuebai Then he took Yin Peinan and the others to recognize the rat thatched grass and thorns, and told them how to compost and compost...

Zheng Wenhao followed behind them, looking confused.

Why does Ji Yuebai, a rich boy, know better than Anan and the others?

Although he doesn't understand these things, Zheng Wenhao somehow thinks that the little brother is very powerful. It seems that both Anan and his brother-in-law listen to him.

This is really strange.

After walking around, they came to the wasteland.

Yin Peinan introduced to Ji Yuebai: "This piece, that piece and the cotton over there are all ours, and these two hill buns are also ours."

Ji Yuebai looked like a leader inspecting. The ground with peanut vines still thrown at his feet

, he looked at other people's land next to him and said, "You guys are different... This ability is really convenient.

" Grass, there are a few trees in their fields, and they are very clean.

Yin Peinan and Zuo Anxiao were indeed very convenient. After three times of weeding with their abilities, there was basically no grass left. If it wasn't for cover, they could have done it all at once.

Yin Peinan asked, "Is it possible to sow grass seeds to make green manure here?"

Ji Yuebai was surprised and asked them, "Isn't there anything else to grow here in winter?"

Zuo An replied, "I'm going to grow winter radishes. "

Then plant radishes." Ji Yuebai said: "Radishes can also be used as green manure, as I just said."

Yin Peinan added: "According to what you told us before, you can see if Xiaoshanbao will be planted next year." Can we plant soybeans and peanuts?"

A few people walked to the foot of the hill, and the walnut tree had grown to a height of one meter.

Before, because of fear of soil erosion, the grass outside the planting pit was not removed, but now some of it has spread to the planting pit.

Ji Yuebai looked at the wide spacing, nodded and said, "Yes, but don't be too close to the saplings. It is also possible to bury the green manure directly in the soil around the tree. Unlike other wild tree species, fruit trees require a lot of fertilizer. Yes ."

After walking around on the small mountain bag, several people sweated and went down the mountain. They went to the connecting tube to wash their hands and faces with water to cool off.

"It's really getting hot." Ji Yuebai rolled up his sleeves and went to the water outlet, holding a handful of water and pouring it on his face with a snort, and exclaimed loudly, "Mother, it's finally cool!"

Zheng Wenhao was stunned . : "..."

This little brother is too bold, isn't it? Also said dirty mouth!

Zuo An tugged at Ji Yuebai's sleeve and gave him a wink to make him notice that there was still someone there.

Ji Yuebai raised his head, looked at Zheng Wenhao's stunned look, and burst out laughing: "Why? Haven't seen it?"

Zheng Wenhao nodded stunnedly: "...I haven't seen it before."

Which big brother is not ? Sven is coquettish and shy? As for Ji Yuebai, he looks quite cute, but looking at the way he washed his face just now, how can he be bolder than these guys?

And all day today, when Zheng Wenhao saw him, he was arrogant and unreasonable at first, and then he finally regained his appearance as a little brother. Then in the afternoon, I went to the fields and climbed the mountain again, and I taught people to recognize grass and compost. How could it be like a little brother from a big family?

Is this better than being a farmer?

How can one person have so many faces?

Zheng Wenhao thought he was very interesting, and he was different from other brothers he had seen.

Hearing his answer, Ji Yuebai smiled and said, "See you now." Then, without using a handkerchief, he directly wiped water on his face with his hands.

The little brother's face was flushed, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his hair and eyebrows were wet from washing his face, and his eyelashes were moist, which looked particularly crystalline and moving under the rays of the evening sun.

Zheng Wenhao couldn't help being a little stunned.

Don't say, Brother Bo is really pretty.

Ji Yuebai wiped his face and looked up again. He saw Zheng Wenhao staring blankly at him. After a pause, he pursed his lips and smiled and turned to the side.

Yin Peinan hit his daughter-in-law with his elbow and winked at him. The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
