Chen Yaohui and the others looked around outside and saw that most of the victims were sallow and thin, wearing thin clothes in the cold weather and fighting for a few pennies to carry bags. Only then did they realize how difficult their lives were. beautiful.

Li Yu felt that the people in the village were a bit strange these days. Every time they saw her and Zhou Jia, they were respectful, even those who were impatient at work changed their attitude.

Life in Fengming Village returned to calm, and in a blink of an eye it was the spring sowing season. Shopkeeper Chu sent several farm leaders to learn from Li Yu's farm.

After meeting Li Yu, those village heads felt that it was too shameful for Shopkeeper Chu to bring them to learn farming from a yellow-haired girl, and most of them looked disapproving.

Li Yu didn't care at all about the attitude of the village heads. He was happy to try out how many bastards could be selected by salt water seed selection, because shopkeeper Chu also brought a cart of salt.

Li Yu took Erya and Ruyi, and shopkeeper Chu took the village heads to Zhuangzi.

Li Yu smiled and said to Shopkeeper Chu: "I have long wanted to try the salt water seed selection method that the master said, but I gave up because the salt is too expensive."

Shopkeeper Chu smiled and said, "Miss Li, these salts have just arrived. You can try it. If the effect is really good, we will provide salt for you to choose from Zhuangzi in the future."

Li Yu waved his hand, "That's not necessary. It's not worthwhile to use salt to select seeds. I just want to give it a try."

Seeing that Li Yu was still soaking the seeds in salt water, the village leaders stood aside and muttered, "You have been farming for most of your life, and you are here to learn farming from a yellow-haired girl."

An older man advised, "Old Wang, stop mumbling. Let's take a good look at it now that it's here."

"Okay, just listen to Brother He and see if she can grow a flower."

Ruyi and Erya beat water and put it into a large vat. Li Yu weighed the salt and mixed it in proportion. He took an egg and put it on it to test the buoyancy of the salt water. When he saw half of the egg sinking, he added some more salt. In the water, it didn't stop until the egg was only about the size of a copper coin.

Li Yu asked Ruyi to lead someone to carry the rice seeds that had been cooled after being exposed to the sun in a basket. He Zhuangtou grabbed a handful of rice seeds in his hand and showed a surprised look.

He turned to Lao Wang and the other village heads and said, "Come and take a look at the rice seeds on their farm."

Lao Wang and the village leaders gathered around the basket, grabbed a handful of rice seeds, looked at them, and said in a sour tone: "These rice seeds are so full! Do you still need to select such seeds?"

Erya looked at the sour eyes of several people and thought to herself: Weren't you just muttering that my girl was just a yellow-haired girl? Now you are jealous!

Li Yu looked at Lao He and smiled and said: "He Zhuangtou, these must be selected again before planting. After I do it once and show it to you, you can do it again."

He Zhuangtou was already somewhat convinced of Li Yu. He held his hands and smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Li. I will remember it well."

Li Yu poured the rice seeds into the salt water tank, stirred the rice seeds vigorously, and fished out the shriveled seeds floating on the water. After soaking the rice seeds in salt water, he fished out more than a pound of shriveled seeds.

Li Yu took the basket out of the vat and said to Ruyi: "Hurry up and pour the rice seeds into the clean water to rinse them thoroughly, and then pour them into the prepared lime water to soak them."

"Yes, girl." Ruyi and Erya carried the rice seeds to be cleaned and soaked.

Lao Wang asked Li Yu in confusion, "Miss Li, your rice seeds are already very full, why are there so many shriveled seeds? We didn't have so many shriveled seeds when we soaked the seeds before?"

Li Yu looked at Lao Wang and said, "Using ordinary clear water to select seeds is not buoyant enough, salt water is more buoyant, and neither shriveled seeds nor tares can escape. Do you remember what I did just now?"

He Zhuangtou bowed his hands respectfully to Li Yu, "Miss Li, as the old saying goes, you have to live and learn. After a lifetime of sowing, I never thought that I would have to learn from scratch."

Shopkeeper Chu then said to several people: "Lao He, you are all old farmers. This is a rare opportunity. Follow Miss Li and learn how to farm."

Several people cupped their hands and said, "Remember, big shopkeeper." Shopkeeper Chu handed several village heads to Li Yu and returned to Tongzhou.

Li Yu asked several people to try the salt water seed selection method in a wooden basin. When they were satisfied, they handed it over to Ruyi.

Erya came back after soaking the seeds, looked at the salt, and said distressedly: "Girl, the salt water seeds are better than the clear water seeds. There are more turtle seeds fished out, but I think it is good to exchange these salts for silver. I can buy a lot of food."

Li Yu saw Erya's distressed look on her face and laughed, "Looking at how distressed you are, remember to ask them to screen them a few more times in the future. Next time we will use clear water to select seeds."

Erya kept nodding, "I know, next time I will watch them and screen them together."

Several village heads sent by Shopkeeper Chu lived in Fengming Village for a few days. They learned from Li Yu how to use salt water to select seeds, soak them in lime water, and accelerator germination. Li Yu handed them over to Ruyi and Erya.

Several people followed Erya and learned how to fertilize and pollinate flowers for planting rice. It was not until shopkeeper Chu came to pick up rice seeds after the autumn harvest that they returned to Zhuangzi with them.

After the busy autumn harvest, it was already late August, and the Zhou family and the Li family were busy organizing wedding banquets.

In early September, Zhou Jia went to Tongzhou to retrieve the custom-made phoenix crown and jewelry. He also went to the school to take Li Qing back to his house in Osmanthus Lane.

After arriving home, Li Qing bowed to Zhou Jia and said, "Sir, my sister has suffered a lot. After Mr. Ah Qing hopes to marry my sister, he will cherish my sister and don't make her sad. Otherwise, no matter how difficult it is, Ah Qing will I must also take my sister home."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing and responded solemnly: "Ah Qing, don't worry, my brother-in-law will definitely love Xiao Yuzhen very much and will not make her sad or betray your trust."

Li Qing nodded and looked at Zhou Jia with some disappointment, "Sir, after you and my sister get married, when will you leave for Kyoto?"

Zhou Jia walked up to Li Qing, looked at him, and patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Qing, we will set off at the beginning of winter. There are still more than two months to travel from Tongzhou to Kyoto. I found someone to buy a few Shen's Army horses to retreat. The military horses used for pulling baggage should be faster."

Li Qing lowered his head, tears falling unconsciously, thinking sadly: Now that my sister and husband have left, I don’t know when they will see each other again.

Seeing Li Qing hanging his head in silence, Zhou Jia couldn't bear it. He stepped forward and hugged him to comfort him: "Ah Qing, Mr. Lin said that you can leave next year. If you get the title of scholar next year, you can take the provincial examination." , brother-in-law has silenced all the previous test questions and put them on the bookcase in your room. You are the head of the Li family, you can't make your sister worry by crying. "

Li Qing wiped away his tears and looked up at Zhou Jia, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't let my sister worry. You and my sister are waiting for me in Kyoto."

After the master and apprentice had a good exchange, they went back to the house, packed up the car, and drove back to Fengming Village.
