The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house
Chapter 58: Planting a Variety
"I'll just try it." Zhou Dasheng took several bites and then stopped talking. Everyone only saw him chewing quickly.
When the others saw what Zhou Dasheng did, they started grabbing the remaining green corn without saying a word.
Captain Dong also reacted and picked up the green corn and put it into his mouth.
Scholar Guo failed to snatch the bulls, so he asked Captain Dong for them. Captain Dong glanced at him and reluctantly broke off a small half for him.
There was a rare moment of silence in the room. A moment later, Lao Wan was heard yelling, "Damn it! I didn't eat enough."
Zhou Dasheng's mouth was free now, so he agreed: "This is the first time I know green corn is so delicious. Oh, when can I eat enough of it?"
"I've let you eat enough, but you still deserve ten sticks?"
"Even ten sticks might not be enough for Old Zhou's big mouth."
"As if you have a small mouth."
Captain Dong ignored their teasing and stared at the corn cobs on his table.
Zhang Xiaoqi said his favorite words at the right time: "Mrs. Jiang said that the yield of corn per mu can reach 1,000 kilograms."
"What?" This time it was Zhou Dasheng's turn to bite someone.
Captain Dong was much calmer than the other brothers. "You just saw such big green corn cobs, which can roughly calculate the yield per mu."
"Oh."
Zhou Dasheng and Lao Wan were all rough guys, and they immediately claimed that they couldn't count.
Guo Xiucai said he had calculated it, but he was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he calculated it again and gave a conservative figure: "The minimum will not be less than 1,100 kilograms."
Guo Xiucai knew it himself, so he said a hundred pounds less to be conservative.
"Oh my God, if our yield per mu was this high, the officers and soldiers in our garrison would never go hungry again."
"Yeah, even if those bastards block our food supplies, we are not afraid."
"That's right." No one knows the importance of food and fodder better than them.
Captain Dong looked at the sky outside and said, "It's too late." Otherwise, he really wanted to go to the Thirteen Banners to see for himself the corn yield, which could exceed a thousand kilograms.
...
As soon as the sky was getting light, Jiang Yan heard the sound of horse hooves.
The mother and daughter were already used to it, so they just turned over and continued to sleep.
Captain Dong stood outside the cornfield, looking at it for a long time. He counted the ridges and measured several cobs of green corn. Then he smiled confidently and said, "The yield per mu will definitely be over a thousand. Madam Jiang is really great."
Guan stood by the river and felt honored when she heard the centurion's praise.
Captain Dong took another look around and took a look at the wheat, millet and sorghum planted by Madam Jiang, and he felt even more satisfied.
"But the amount of corn planted is a little small."
Dong Baihu: If I remember correctly, he asked his second son to bring two bags, one bag of peanut seeds and the other bag of corn seeds.
Hearing the captain say that there were not enough corn plants, Guan quickly explained on behalf of Sister Jiang: "Master, Sister Jiang has planted large areas of corn on the other side of the cliff and downstream of this creek."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to the lord of the hundred households?"
"I want to go and see where I can get through now."
"Just follow this path straight ahead, and you'll see it when you reach the cliff."
Zhang Xiaoqi immediately led the horse over. He didn't know that Madam Jiang also planted corn on the other side of the cliff.
After Captain Dong and Zhang Xiaoqi urged their horses forward, they soon saw vast expanses of cornfields.
Captain Dong took a few glances and figured out what was going on. "Old Zhang, look at this. Madam Jiang has developed some new ways of farming."
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen farming done this way."
"A piece of corn, a piece of beans, then another piece of corn, another piece of beans... Oh, look at how many corn and beans there are, they're so rare."
Captain Dong had already jumped off his mount, and his big bear-paw-like hands gently stroked the bean sprouts that were taller than the little girl.
“Yes, I didn’t even know that Madam Jiang had such a large area of crops planted here.”
Zhang Xiaoqi looked at the corn and beans here, feeling extremely happy. "Master, I suddenly understand why Xia Wangu was so pretentious."
"Why, you want to be pretentious for once."
"When the harvest comes, I think we'll be even more hypocritical than him."
"Haha, I don't know what's wrong with Madam Jiang's brain, the crops she grows are just beautiful."
"Yes. With this food, we really don't have to worry about those bastards causing trouble for us."
"This year may be a little worse, but next year, next year, all of you Thirteen Banners will have to farm like Madam Jiang. Then I can walk sideways, hahahaha~"
Captain Dong had already made up his mind: next year, not only would the Thirteen Banners' military households learn farming from Madam Jiang, but the entire Xishan Hundred Households Office would also have to learn farming from Madam Jiang.
Zhang Xiaoqi also knew that food was the foundation of their entire Xishan Hundred Households Unit.
With food, their captains are not afraid of anything.
"Let's go and take a look downstream."
"okay."
...
Jiang Yan, who was making breakfast at home, didn't know that after seeing the crops she planted, the captain had the confidence to compete with certain people.
Someone: Beat her up. He will support whoever that little girl stands on.
...
The days passed quickly. The scouts ahead brought reliable news that the northern barbarians would not attack until the grain was stored in the warehouse.
As for what will happen after the grain is stored in the warehouse, everyone can guess it with their toes.
Captain Dong knew that the northern barbarians would not come in the near future, so he asked each small flag to take their people back.
But we can't relax either. Let them train in small groups in their spare time.
The small flags readily agreed and prepared to return. Gao Lao San still hadn't given up on the idea of merging with the Thirteen Banners, so he went to the captain to ask for his opinion.
Captain Dong had seen Madam Jiang's farming skills, so how could he let anyone else go and cause trouble for her? He gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
Zhang Xiaoqi was afraid that the captain would not be able to resist Gao Laosan's entanglement, so he stood by and listened carefully. Later, when he saw Gao Laosan return without success, he felt relieved and led his men on their journey.
As they set off, Captain Dong caught up with them. "Old Zhang, when Madam Jiang's paddy fields are ready for harvest, please send me a message in advance."
"I will send a letter to your Excellency the day before."
"Well, when the time comes, I will definitely call the captain over and let him take a good look at how many kilograms of rice our Madam Jiang has grown."
"Haha, this will surely make the thousand-householder's jaw drop to the ground."
"He can't pick it up."
"It's better to get Xia Wan Gu here too. I want to see his face cracking inch by inch."
"Hahaha, let his face fall to the ground, preferably shattered into pieces."
"It makes me feel relieved when I think about it."
"Hahaha."
