The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that! Who wouldn't be interested in a rice seed with such a high yield?" Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu, "I just need to select it again, right?"

"In addition to the excellent rice in that box, the other rice seeds in the more than ten acres of fields are also the excellent rice seeds that I selected by crossing wild rice and domestic rice, and planted them again this year.

I think that if we want to maintain excellent varieties, we need to find some wild rice and spend more time selecting and taming it several times, and we should have better yields. "

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and once again felt that he was really lucky to have met Li Yu. Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with ups and downs in his heart and said, "Yu'er, you are already very good at cultivating such excellent rice seeds. I Zhou Jia is so lucky to have such an excellent wife like you."

Li Yu looked at him and smiled angrily: "How can anyone praise his wife like you?"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and thought to himself: There is a higher output. If this news spreads, it will definitely attract countless people to covet it.

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and said with some worry: "Yu'er, it's a good thing that you have cultivated high-yielding grain seeds. If those dignitaries find out about it, they will definitely come to snatch it away. I am afraid that I cannot protect it as a judge." Industry, I want to go to Kyoto to take the exam after we get married next year, and when I get better results, we can sell the grain seeds."

After hearing this, Li Yu also understood that Zhou Jia was right. In this world where the jungle prevails, anything that is too outstanding is the target of robbery by the dignitaries, unless you have a bigger backer.

With a big backer, Li Yu suddenly remembered that the owner of the small wooden sword was now the most powerful person in Dayong. Putting aside the feelings of saving each other, in this era of single grain varieties, he was still afraid of handing high-yielding grain seeds to him. No backer?

Li Yu got up and went into the house, took out the small wooden sword and handed it to Zhou Jia, smiling slyly, "Xiao Xi, you have forgotten that we have the biggest backer now. When the rice is harvested and the accurate yield per mu is known, you can The yield per mu of new rice seeds harvested, as well as the cultivation methods, were sent to Sihai Bank. They were asked to give the rice seeds to the young master, tell him the news that we had grown high-yield grain, and said that we would partner with him in the seed business. Who doesn’t like good things delivered to your door?”

Zhou Jia took the small wooden sword and thought to himself: Yes! How could I forget! Is there any bigger backer than him? These are all good ties made by fish.

"Fish, you can't send rice, it's more meaningful to send rice ears."

After hearing this, Li Yu thought for a moment and understood the truth. The output can be concealed, but the ears of rice cannot be deceived. It is better to give away the ears of rice.

"You are still thoughtful. Before harvesting, I will cut some rice ears and bring them back to dry."

Before the rice was harvested, Li Yu went to the field to select ten ears of rice with medium length and full grains, and took them home to dry under the eaves.

A few days later, after harvesting the more than ten acres of rice and returning home, Li Yu weighed it and found the yield per mu. The average yield per mu was more than seven dan.

Li Yu knew that there was still a big gap compared with the grain output in his previous life, but compared with the average output of only four stones of grain in the village, it was already very good.

Li Yu handed the dried rice ears to Zhou Jia, and told Zhou Jia the methods of cultivating rice seeds, selecting seeds in salt water, soaking seeds in lime, and retting them, "These are all selected from the fields. The medium ears of rice that come out have been dried, you put them in a box and send them to Sihai Bank."

Zhou Jia took the golden ears of rice and carefully put them into a wooden box lined with cattails. He went into the house and wrote the note, "Yu'er, I'm going to Tongzhou then. Don't be too tired at home."

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia sweating profusely from the heat, "I know, don't be too hasty, just wait for the next time Lucky comes to pull those bags!"

Seeing Li Yu's distressed look, Zhou Jia felt sweet in her heart, "I'm driving the cart, not pulling it. Don't worry. I know what's going on. But don't be too tired at home."

After the two said goodbye, Zhou Jia drove the mule cart to Tongzhou. After taking the goods to the shop and handing them over to the fortune teller, he went home, washed up, changed his clothes and went to Sihai Bank.

Zhou Jia found that the business of Sihai Bank was getting more and more prosperous. There were carriages parked in front of the two-story building, and people were coming and going in the shop, making it a prosperous scene.

The clerk came forward and asked politely: "May I ask whether you want to deposit money or exchange money?"

Zhou Jia said to the waiter: "Brother, please inform the shopkeeper. I want to see your shopkeeper."

Seeing Zhou Jia's extraordinary bearing, the waiter didn't dare to neglect him. He bowed and said, "Master, follow me and sit over there and wait for a while."

Zhou Jia nodded and followed the waiter to the inner room to sit down. After a while, the waiter and a plain-looking middle-aged man walked out of the inner hall.

The waiter pointed at Zhou Jia and said, "Shop Manager Chu, this is the young master who wants to see you."

Shopkeeper Chu looked at Zhou Jia and bowed his hands politely, "May I ask, sir, what do you want me to do with you?"

After Zhou Jia bowed his hands in greeting, he took out the small wooden sword and handed it to the shopkeeper. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I have a few rice ears here. Please give them to the owner of this small wooden sword."

Shopkeeper Chu took the small wooden sword and thought to himself: The master said last time that he gave the ebony sword to an unmarried couple. The woman's surname is Li and the man's surname is Zhou Mingjia. They are a scholar, so he should be this person.

Shopkeeper Chu returned the small wooden sword to Zhou Jia enthusiastically and respectfully, and saluted respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured that I will deliver it as soon as possible."

Zhou Jia smiled and handed the box to Shopkeeper Chu, "Thank you, Shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Chu took the box from Zhou Jia's hand respectfully and said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, my surname is Chu and my name is Sihai. Please let me know if you have anything to do in the future."

Zhou Jia smiled and cupped his hands, "Okay, I'd like to bother Shopkeeper Chu."

Zhou Jia came out of Sihai Bank and went to Shen Wu's house. His family told Zhou Jia that Shen Wu went to Qingzhou years ago and has not come back yet.

Zhou Jia thought to herself: Shen Wu has been gone for so long, could it be that Daqi is coming? Zhou Jia shook his head, regardless of whether he would go back first.

After the rice harvest, Li Yu went to the mountains to pick some wild rice. As soon as he returned to the village, Old Man Hu came with his people.

Old man Hu and his men carried chickens and ducks, a bag of white rice, and half a bag of wild rice on their backs. He handed them to Li Yu and said with some embarrassment: "Girl, you taught us how to open land for breeding, and you also arranged work for the women in the village. , the old man and the people in the village have nothing good to say. Thank you. We raised the chickens and ducks ourselves. The grain is the new grain we harvested this year. Also in this bag is the wild rice that everyone found. The wild rice was picked in several places. , all packed separately in bags.”

Li Yu took the wild rice and felt a little emotional. He just said casually that he liked to collect these things, but the old man actually remembered it in his heart.

"Old man, please wait for me for a while." Li Yu went to the warehouse to get a bag of this year's rice seeds and handed them to Old Man Hu. "You take these rice seeds back and keep them safe. Next year, use these rice seeds as I taught you." The method of planting is to plant it separately from ordinary rice seeds."
