The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling rubbed the seeds in his hands, looked at his aunt, who nodded slightly at her, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Ms. Mu, don't worry, the seeds here are all high-quality. If nothing else, I promise It was the first year, and the wheat was selected to be the plumpest, and after it has been fully exposed to the sun, you can take it back and hang it on the beam, and it will be fine for two winters.”

"If it's left for two winters, we don't need to buy it at this time," the aunt said dissatisfied, "Your kind of seed is not bad, but the price is too expensive."

"Hey, old man, this price is not expensive anymore. You don't even look at the price of this year's grain. Since April, the price of grain has been getting higher and higher every day. It is not high for me to set this price," The shopkeeper complained, "If it wasn't for Ms. Mu's face, I wouldn't be able to pay this price back."

The aunt sighed, the price of grain this year is really high, she thought for a while and said to Mu Yangling: "Ah Ling, let's plant wheat next year, I know you like rice, but this rice is not easy to grow, look at this year We harvested a total of 108 catties of rice in the ten mu of rice in our field, and only one catty of millet was harvested from this mu, and it has not been ground into rice grains yet..."

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Oh, that's a good harvest. My family planted more than eight acres of rice, and we harvested a total of three catties."

Mu Yangling looked embarrassed and asked, "Did your family cut all the rice?"

"Who has that skill?" The shopkeeper said: "Walk in the field with a sickle, and when you see ears and grains, you will cut them off. Cut them all. Who has that skill? Turn around and put the cattle in." Just eat all the uneared rice. I took the rice back, but my wife said I wasted my time."

"You can't say that. Three catties of rice can fill your stomach for a day. Although we have food now, we can't waste it."

"Your old man and I want to go together. Look at those fleeing outside, they can kill people for one or two meters, let alone my three catties of rice, and the three catties of rice can't be said to be full. It was also bulging, but it was uncomfortable to see, when I sowed more than three catties."

Mu Yangling was still listening with great interest, but he couldn't help but startled when he heard this, and asked, "The shopkeeper, have you eaten the three catties of millet?"

"No, my family is used to eating noodles, and how can I eat three catties of millet? I plan to grind them together next time I buy millet."

Mu Yangling's eyes lit up, "Can you sell it to me?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Ms. Mu, are you kidding me? What use are these three catties of millet? If you want to buy it, I have a lot of people here, and I will give you a lower price."

"No, I want it to grow out of the three catties of dry land."

The shopkeeper was suspicious, but he didn't ask on the spot. He just said, "I'll send someone back to get it." Then he casually asked, "Miss Mu, is there something wrong with my millet?"

Mu Yangling just thought about it for a while and then confessed: "There is nothing wrong, but I suddenly remembered that these rice plants grew in such a dry land, and they might be able to adapt to the dry climate, so I wanted to try it out."

If this method spreads, someone may be able to produce drought-tolerant rice faster.

The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled when he heard this, feeling that Mu Yangling was taking it for granted, originally he thought there was some secret in it.

The aunt sighed and didn't say anything. She knew that Mu Yangling had always wanted to improve the seed and planting techniques. She had been tossing a lot in the past two years. She thought that she had been tossing for so many years anyway, so let her continue to toss.

Mu Yangling got three catties of rice as he wished, and when he went back, he took out the one hundred and eight catties of his own for comparison. The grains from the shopkeeper's house were fuller than hers, and it was probably because they were picked out when they were harvested. up.

Mu Yangling poured out the one hundred and eight catties of millet, intending to sift it again and save the full grains as seeds. His aunt was dumbfounded and asked, "Are you really planning to use these as seeds?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "Auntie, I still want to buy some more. Go to the village later and ask who has the millet left over from this year. Choose the ones that are full and buy them all. It must be this year."

My aunt looked at the millet on the ground. The yellow-orange ones were indeed plump enough, and they came from her own field. She thought it would be good to use them as seeds in the past, so she didn't object, and nodded, "Okay, I'll Now, do you want to go to the grain store to buy some rice seeds?"

Mu Yangling thought for a while, and said: "Buy some, and then plant them separately to see the effect. If there is no comparison, I don't know if this method will work."

"Are you planning to grow so much rice?" My aunt still prefers to grow wheat. Rice is too low-yielding, and corn is high-yielding but too thick.

"Auntie, didn't I say that? I just rented sixty-five hectares of land in Hanzhong Mansion."

"How much rent do you need for so many lands?"

"It doesn't need much, just keep those little bosses."

"What?" Auntie didn't understand.

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "Brother Haoran brought a group of children back and put them into military households, but those children are still young, and although they have a large piece of land under their name, they can't be planted, so I gave it to them. , Qi Haoran said that he only needs to pay half of the annual tax, and the rest will be used to raise the children."

The aunt immediately became uneasy, "Here, you have gone through the back door. How can you pay less tax? Turn around and tell the little general that we pay a lot. As for the children, we also raise them. We rented other people's land. The rent is originally To give."

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Auntie, don't increase the tax, but you can give the children more things. If Qi Haoran doesn't rent the land to us, not only will they not be able to get a grain of grain, but they will have to subsidize the grain to those child."

"Then we can't undercut the little general," the aunt muttered, "We are law-abiding people."

Mu Yangling couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile, and didn't dare to tell her aunt the cost of the kindergarten, otherwise she would feel distressed again.

When Shu Wanniang came in, she heard her aunt was teaching Mu Yangling to be a good person, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said to Mu Yangling, "Ah Ling, listen to your aunt."

Mu Yangling thought for a while, then agreed: "Then I'll discuss it with brother Haoran later."

Only then did the aunt leave space for the mother and daughter, and Shu Wanniang nodded her daughter's forehead, "You, mother, I don't care what you do outside, but you have to remember, we won't take advantage of what shouldn't be, it's harmless It’s a blessing to suffer.”

Mu Yangling said helplessly: "Mom, I know, don't worry, I won't take advantage of those children just because they're not sensible, and I won't lose a cent for what's theirs."
