Chapter 58: Planting Seedlings
"Look at this grass head. The color of rice seedlings is generally dark green. The color of barnyard grass seedlings is light green or yellow-green. And look at the hair on the stem, which is the rice seedling. The stem of barnyard grass seedlings has a smooth surface and no hair."
"Hey, Guozi, compare them. Can you tell them apart?"
Xu Yuan pointed out the difference between barnyard grass seedlings and rice seedlings, "If you throw them aside, you can still take them back and give them to Dahua as snacks."
"So that's how it is. The white root is barnyard grass." Guozi looked at the two roots and finally found the difference. "Also, I feel that this barnyard grass seedling is still soft, not as hard as the rice seedling."
Xu Yuan nodded, put the bundles of seedlings into a basket, and carried them to the field where they were to be planted.
"You two should pull them out carefully, don't break them, and put them neatly so I can get them."
Guozi and Xuxuan nodded in response, took their small stools and sat in the fields. There was still a little water in the field where rice seeds were planted, up to Xuxuan's calves.
Two little kids wearing two small straw hats were pulling up the seedlings with great effort. The sun was not too hot at this time and there was a slight breeze blowing.
In a blink of an eye, the empty fields were filled with neatly arranged green seedlings.
The two sisters worked very quickly and by this time more than half of the seedlings had been planted in the field. It was already noon and the sun was shining brightly.
"Go home, have a meal, and come back after a rest." Xu Yuan took over the remaining seedlings from Xu Zhi, sped up his work, finished the last seedling, stood up and walked towards the edge of the field.
There is still a small part that has not been completed, so I can only come back when the sun is not so strong.
At this time, Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi were all wet with sweat, and their hair was sticking to their cheeks. Their faces were flushed with heat.
The two little kids sat down with a long stick stuck in their arms. Xu Yuan made them a small umbrella and tied it up with a hemp rope to use as a parasol.
"Come out, we're going back. You two should cover the bundles of seedlings with weeds to prevent them from wilting in the sun."
Guozi and many others did as they were told and soon came out through the mud.
Xu Yuan looked at the two little kids' wet trouser legs and frowned.
"Go home quickly and change your wet clothes, don't catch a cold."
……
"Business is booming. Business is booming."
"Hey, Boss Zhang, what's the wind blowing that's visiting my Fu Man Lou today?"
Hu Zhanggui put on a smile, greeted Boss Zhang outside, and led him to the private room on the second floor.
"I heard that your Fu Man Lou has recently launched a few new dishes, and the business is very hot and very popular. The most important dish is called Ya Zi, so I came here specially to try it."
"Oh, you came at the right time. This is almost sold out."
"Really? Then you have to serve me the next one carefully. I want to taste it carefully."
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it for you right away." Hu Zhanggui warmly entertained Boss Zhang and told the waiter to pour hot tea before going to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Hu Zhanggui finally had some time to rest. Ever since Fumanlou developed several dishes using sprouts, customers these days always ordered some every time they came back. So in just two days, the sprouts were almost consumed. Now they had to start selling in limited quantities until the next time people made a wish to send sprouts.
The money earned in the past few days is equivalent to the money earned in the previous week. Shopkeeper Hu once again felt grateful for his good vision, which enabled him to seize a good opportunity and almost missed a huge opportunity to make money.
Shopkeeper Hu decided to order a larger quantity next time.
After the four siblings who made a wish had lunch, they rested for a while and then set out again to the field.
Xu Yuan also led Dahua to the edge of the field at this time, intending to plow the muddy ground where the rice was planted.
We repeated the morning's work and everyone got busy.
"Small wish, small twig."
"Fruit, Xiaoduo."
Hearing the shout, the four busy people raised their heads, looked towards the voice, and responded.
Aunt Li, Mrs. Lin, and Xu Qing came over with Gu Qingming.
As soon as he arrived at the edge of the field, he rolled up his trousers and went down into the field.
"You two sisters are so fast. We are almost done with this piece of sky. Are Aunt Lin, Aunt Xu and I late?"
As soon as Gu Qingming got out of the field, he ran to the side where there were many fruits. The three brothers had a good time playing around and started competing to see who could pull more fruits faster.
"No, have you finished working on your fields? Why are you all here together?"
"The villagers are planting rice seedlings. Everyone is here to help. One group is helping to pull the seedlings while another is helping to plant them. It's very quick. It's almost finished in two or three days. Aren't they here to help you?"
"Thank you, three aunts. With your help, my family was quickly fixed."
"Yes, your family only has two plots of land, so it can be done quickly. If the seedlings are not enough, I have some left. You can come to my house and pull them out." Aunt Li replied loudly with full energy.
Xuyuan nodded gratefully.
"Xiaozhi, go over there and help pull up the seedlings. Let the three aunts and I handle this."
Xu Zhi nodded and handed the remaining seedlings to her sister. Her hands were covered in mud, which she washed away with muddy water in the field.
"Based on our current progress, we think we'll be done today. Xiaoyuan, where's your plow? Why don't I go plow that rice field while you pull the rice over there and I'll plow this side." Aunt Li looked around and felt that it was a bit crowded for four people to plant rice in this small space, so she wanted to do something else.
"Aunt Li, no need, I'll do it. My cow is shy and I'm afraid it won't obey you and might hurt you."
"Oh, don't worry, it's okay. There is no beast in the world that my Aunt Li can't tame."
"Let your Aunt Li give it a try."
Xuyuan had no choice but to pat Dahua on the back, whisper some advice in its ear, tie up the plow and harrow, and Dahua walked into the mud on its own.
I wanted to return this plow last time, but Gu Qinghan didn't let me, saying that her mother gave it to her directly. Besides, it was a bit worn out and was going to be thrown away, so it was better to just accept it.
So Xu Yuan got a broken thing for free that could last for a while.
"Is my vision correct? This cow is so smart that it can even walk into the field by itself."
"Yeah, that's the first time I've seen it, too."
"Xiaoyuan, your cow has a bad temper. It's too good. My cows are very stubborn. I have to whip them before I drive them to the field." Xu Qing remembered that he had exhausted all his strength last time he drove the cows to the field, and in the end he had to rely on his eldest son. He could not help at all.
"Haha, maybe it's in a good mood today." Xu Yuan guessed that it might have become more spiritual after drinking Xiaojiu's magic medicine, so he said vaguely.
"Xiaoyuan, give me the rope and I'll plow the field." Aunt Li took the rope handed to her by Xuyuan and started walking with Dahua.
The three people at the back were planting the seedlings in an orderly manner, and the four siblings who were pulling out the seedlings were also busy.
