Zhang Xiaobao doesn't like to eat garlic, Wang Juan likes to eat, and later the two of them found that people here love to eat garlic, and some even went to the restaurant, first asked if there was garlic, and if there was, they would stay and eat, if not, they would turn around and leave.

During the Chinese New Year, Wang Juan roasted some garlic, which was soft and soft after roasting, and it was a little spicy in the mouth, more of a fragrance, for the sake of health, Zhang Xiaobao also ate a little under Wang Juan's persuasion, and after eating, he found that he still didn't like to eat.

Zhang Xiaobao feels much better about garlic sprouts, he is willing to eat fried ones, boil soup, and even get some raw molars.

At Wang Juan's suggestion, the two of them came to the back of their two special small courtyards, where there is a place blocked with cloth, the cloth was sent there last time to protect Xiangrui, and they didn't throw it away when they ran out, so they let Song Jinggong bring it back, and they can continue to use it.

This is where the garlic is planted, the garlic is peeled off, not planted in the soil, but placed in a shallow trough made of wooden boards, spread a little fine sand under the trough, put a clove of garlic in the yard, with a partition stick, that is, the skin on the outside of the sorghum stalks, and then put water.

I got it a few days ago, and the buds have emerged in the past few days, and a stove is placed in the middle of the place around it, and the garlic seedlings will grow a large part in one day.

"Well, you can eat it, cut off one-tenth of it is enough for the farmers to drink soup at night, add some eggs, put more ginger, and help to go to the cold, these people are really dead, the water is so cold, they mix fertilizer and plough back and forth in the field, one by one is not well maintained, and they are sick when they are old."

Wang Juan touched the garlic seedlings with her hands, and said with emotion, she was so satisfied with these villagers, there was work in the Zhuangzi rushed to do, and today the more than 6,000 chickens were released, and the farmers followed behind, waiting for the chickens to eat the eggs buried in the soil in a place, and the farmers immediately used some water and fertilizer to get into the ground, and continued to plow.

Thinking of the chicken, Wang Juan felt very happy, those chickens are considered to have eaten good things, don't worry about the eggs buried in the soil The chickens can't find it, one by one they use their claws to plan, not only the chickens eat well, the eggs are less, the soil is also shaved looser, and each one is bigger than usual.

In the winter, when there were no insects to eat, and the earthworms were still breeding, the chickens ate the fish and shrimp that the pomegranates had brought back, the powder from the ground bones, and some other coarse grains, and it seemed that eggs would be laid in another month, many days earlier than the usual six months.

At that time, the eggs will be handed over to the cherries to be selected, and the chicks will be hatched for the farmer to raise, so that there will be no need to worry about the eggs in the autumn, and more chicken will appear on the farmer's table.

Zhang Xiaobao fell into deep thought when he heard Wang Juan's words, shook his head after a while, and said with a sigh: "It's a pity, there is no technology to process oil, and there are no rubber trees here, otherwise it can play a big role in making some water boots for them to wear."

When I eat in the evening, tell them that the kang should not stop the fire first, and that when I go back at night, I will scald my feet with hot water, and let people invite a doctor to see which one is not in good health, and it should be treated as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I think it's okay, you can find two, let them stay in Zhuangzi, one is in charge of the doctor, the other is the doctor of livestock, wait for the cows to give birth, secretly hide and raise, do not report, and then it will be delicious beef."

Wang Juan also echoed and made an extension.

After the two of them finished discussing, one of them took a small pair of scissors and began to cut the garlic seedlings, and after a while, he cut out the food he was going to eat today, carried it outside, and then found someone to send it to the cooking place over there, and then he had to deal with the wheat rice stones.

After summoning the three of Erniu after eating, Zhang Xiaobao ordered, "Erniu, since the stones were pulled back by you, then now I will leave them to you to do, smash all the stones for me, pick out the good ones, pile the others together, and tell us when they are done." ”

"Little boy, don't worry about this, we'll do it for you in a while." Erniu nodded in agreement, even if he still didn't understand what the stone was for.

Waiting for the three of Erniu to leave, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan began to exercise, and twilight slowly fell.

The sun in the west hid down the mountain, leaving only the red glow in the sky to change with the wind.

In a workshop in the county seat of Sanshui County, Song Jinggong and Zhou Xihu were waiting there for one by one Quyuan ploughs to be made, and so the number was almost the same, Song Jinggong went to the county government to find the county order, this time is very critical, send early, here has not made a few, earn less, send late, and wait for the spring ploughing, it will be used in the next year.

"Give me a little faster, the more you make, the more money you will reward, if you can make two thousand sets of plows before you arrive today, my son will invite you to have supper at night."

Zhou Xihu shouted to the more than 200 people who were still busy there, these people have blacksmiths and carpenters, all of them are found by him from various places, the number of masters is small, and even the apprentices of these people are pulled to do it together, which makes the people around them hate the people who are ploughing in the spring in Zhuangzi, he pulls people here, and no one can find anyone to repair when the plough of others is broken.

This is also what Zhou Xihu thinks is a good idea, that is, to make those farmers lack plows, otherwise who he sells this plow to, every time he thinks of this matter, he will say it to Song Jinggong proudly.

These craftsmen also know who Zhou Gongzi is, seeing that there is more money to take, and they can not offend this son, they are all working hard, they all know what they do, the apprentice only knows the new plow, but does not know how much better this plow is than the usual plow, it is nothing more than the curve of a plow, and the other is straight.

But those old craftsmen are not like this, they make more things, and they can understand the benefits of some new things at a glance, and when they are making them, they are still sighing which person is so clever and makes such a plow, and when the plow is used, the farmer will be much easier.

Seeing that his apprentices did not know the benefits of the plough, the old craftsman told the apprentices as he did it, which could be regarded as teaching the apprentices, and explained the structure of each place, and then talked about the effect of such an arrangement.

The apprentices listened with their eyes wide open, and the work in their hands was not slow, and when they finally knew that this Quyuan plow had so many benefits, they all began to worship the person who made this plow, and some even couldn't suppress the curiosity in their hearts, and turned to ask Zhou Xihu.

Usually Zhou Xihu will never take care of this kind of problem, today Zhou Xihu is happy, and there is another deal, others ask, he answers, but no matter how he answers, he will not say Zhangjia Zhuangzi, this is Song Jinggong reminded, of course, Zhou Xihu does not know who made these things.

When it was time for the evening, these craftsmen had really finished making 2,000 sets, and Zhou Xihu didn't say a word, and immediately asked people to prepare wine and food, and to entertain the craftsmen well.

Song Jinggong said goodbye and left at this time, and came to the yamen with another originally made Quyuan plow, knocked on the door of the backyard, and asked the gatekeeper to go in to report, the gatekeeper was dozing off, and saw that someone came in the middle of the night, and wanted to refuse, but when he saw that it was Song Jinggong, he ran to report without saying a word, but the lord commanded, no matter when this Song Gongzi came, he had to tell him.

When Song Jinggong entered the living room, the county commander Cheng Lingxiang had already dressed and sat there with his hazy sleepy eyes open, and someone had made the tea, and when he saw Song Jinggong dragging a heavy thing over today, he yawned and asked curiously:

"Zijin, what are you going to do when you get something here in the middle of the night? Come, sit down and drink tea, and see that Zijin doesn't seem to be asleep yet. ”

Cheng Xianling let Song Jinggong to the chair next to the table, this chair was still Song Jinggong told him how to do it, originally he either made a bench or sat on a cushion, far less comfortable than this chair.

"Adults are as wise as torches, and when the students arrive, they know that the students are here for what they are holding in their hands, and my lord, this is a kind of plough used to plough the land, because this plow is curved, so the students call it the curved plow, and use this plough to plough the land, it is much faster to plow the straight wheel, and make it easier for people, even if it is pulled by people, it will not be much worse than the straight plough pulled by livestock."

Song Jinggong knew that he could not be modest at this time, whether Zhuangzi could avoid the danger of being confiscated, whether he could get more benefits, Quyuan plough would play a lot of role, and he believed that Cheng County Ling would understand how much political achievements this plough could bring him.

Sure enough, as soon as Song Jinggong's words fell, Cheng Xianling, who was still sitting there steadily, suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on this kind of plow that he had never seen before, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Is Zijin serious? Didn't you make me happy? Good guy, it's not much slower than livestock to pull people, so this is a great achievement, ...... this credit? ”

"Don't worry, sir, listen to the students say slowly, since Sanshui County came out of Xiangrui, adults, you are thinking day and night to seek more benefits for the people of Sanshui County, and want the farmers in Sanshui County to have a good harvest.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement, because of your efforts, finally, you thought that if you want to have a good harvest in autumn, then you need to do a good job in spring ploughing, you know that it is too late to work on the seeds, so you have to find some improvements from the cultivated land.

The heavens are full of painstaking people, the adult's hair is a lot whiter, and finally it occurred to me that if you want to understand the things when plowing the land, you have to find people who work on the ground, so my lord, you found a Zhuangzi, and under your guidance, the farmer of the Zhuangzi suddenly opened his mind.

After a few days of pondering, it was finally made of the zigzag plough that the adults wanted, and it was verified in the field, and the farmers praised the adults for their awesomeness, and the students brought one to the adults at the request of the villagers, and the adults, you see, what else needs to be improved? ”

Song Jinggong said a bunch of things in a mess, and after speaking, he looked at Cheng County Ling with a smile.
