Chapter 856: Dont underestimate it

He Tongsheng had no choice but to bow to Zheng Qing in a polite manner: "Brother Qing."

Zheng Qing is a good boy and will not bully others just because he is the son of a county magistrate. He also gave He Tongsheng a gift and said: "Let's go find Brother Cheng. Brother Gu said he was preparing tools at home. I think Go help him."

Grandpa Ouyang said that it is good for officials like him to do more farm work, so that they can know what farming is.

"Didn't you hear what the county magistrate said? Hurry up and go." Village chief He glared at He Tongsheng, as if He Tongsheng dared to beat him to death if he dared to slow down a step.

He Tongsheng trembled, quickly took Zheng Qing's hand, called to the Zheng family's servant, and ran away in a hurry.

When Village Chief He saw him, he raised his crutch and shouted: "You bastard, you are your brother when you become the county magistrate. Hurry up and let go and walk behind the county magistrate!"

Master Zheng smiled and said, "There is no need to scold Village Chief He. The county magistrate has told Brother Qing to make more friends with farm children and increase his knowledge. Let them go."

After hearing this, Village Chief He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight: "Hey, the county magistrate is right. A young man like Brother Qing should make more friends with farmers."

He also praised He Tongsheng: "It's not what I said, but my Tongsheng is the child king of several nearby villages. Children from several villages, big and small, are running behind him, calling "Brother Tongsheng, Brother Tongsheng" one by one. , but very majestic.

He Dacang saw that his father was becoming more and more complacent as he talked, so he hurriedly said: "Father, stop talking, hurry up and follow Mr. Zheng, and take the county magistrate to the fields."

Hey, look at me, I cant keep my mouth shut when I talk about my grandchildren. Village Chief He hurriedly followed Mr. Zheng to Magistrate Zheng and saluted, Your Majesty the County Magistrate, Sir Sinong.

Yu Sinong is over five years old and has a dark complexion. It can be seen that he often goes to inspect the fields and is a person who really knows how to take care of the crops. When he saw the village chief greeting him, he nodded.

Magistrate Zheng said: "You don't have to be polite, just follow us to the fields."

Hearing this, Village Chief He became even more excited. Supported by He Dacang, he followed County Magistrate Zheng and his party directly to the fields.

In recent days, households in Dafeng Village have been transplanting bean sprouts, and the fields near the village are full of people. Some people come to work before dawn, and now they have transplanted nearly two acres of land.

Yu Sinong looked at the villagers using sharpened bamboo tubes to dig into the bean seedlings. Once they were pried together, they picked up about three bean seedlings and put them into the basket on the side. He asked curiously : "What is that thing that looks like a shovel?"

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "It's a bamboo shovel, made like an iron shovel. It's specially used to lift bean sprouts. With one shovel down, the bean sprouts can be lifted up by the roots. A load of bean sprouts can be lifted up in half a quarter of an hour. It's very economical." It saves time, effort and iron.

After hearing this, Yu Sinong was very happy: "This is a good idea. This iron tool is expensive, and farmers spend a lot of money to buy a farm tool. With this kind of bamboo shovel, if it breaks, you can cut bamboo again to make it."

Yu Sinong thought about the bamboo products in He'an Mansion again. He heard that they were first spread from Qingfu Town, Tianfu County, so he looked at Gu Jin'an and asked: "The kind of bamboo boxes used to store vegetables in restaurants, and bamboo Are the basins and bamboo buckets also made by you?"

Gu Jinan nodded: "Exactly, my father likes to do some carpentry work, but it takes several years for trees to grow, and bamboo grows very fast. A few bamboo poles can give you a bamboo forest. No matter how many you cut, you can grow a bamboo forest." Not afraid, my dad used bamboo instead of wood and made these bamboo products.

Magistrate Zheng smiled at the side and said: "The toothbrush we use now was also made by his father. It's a coincidence."

Yu Sinong was shocked when he heard this: "Your father made the toothbrushes sold in the drug store? That's really amazing."

Toothbrushes and toothpowder emerged three years ago. Nowadays, anyone with a well-off family will buy toothbrushes and toothpowder to brush their teeth. It has become an indispensable daily necessities for the people of Chu.

Yu Sinong originally thought that the Gu family were rich people from the countryside, with just a few small coins. However, after he calculated the usage and selling price of toothbrushes, he did not dare to regard the Gu family as rich people anymore.

The Gu family is rich in wealth, so it should not be underestimated. "Brother, County Magistrate, we are here!" Brother Cheng waved his bamboo shovel and greeted Gu Jinan and the others.

Zheng Qing and He Tongsheng also held bamboo shovels in their hands, and they were learning how to raise bean sprouts from their grandfather and grandmother.

Gu Jinli and the other girls knew that Magistrate Zheng and the others were coming, so they didn't come to work in the fields, so they all avoided it.

Hearing this, Gu Jinan smiled and waved to him, and said to Sinong, "Sir, please come with me."

With that said, he led Yu Sinong and Magistrate Zheng to his bean sprout field. He rolled up his sleeves, took the bamboo shovel, and went down to the ground with He Jinsheng, Gu Dexing, and Qi Kangming to pick up bean sprouts.

Their hands were quick and smooth, and their movements of picking up bean sprouts were as beautiful as playing the piano. In just half a quarter of an hour, each of them picked up a load of bean sprouts.

Village Chief He was grinning from ear to ear. He pointed at He Jinsheng and said to Sinong: "Sir, this is my grandson Jinsheng. He is already a boy. This year he will take the college examination to become a scholar."

He looked at Magistrate Zheng again and said what he said to Sinong again.

Magistrate Zheng was very helpless. He had been here for three years, and Village Chief He had been talking about it for three years. There was really no need to say anything more. Even if his brain was not working well, he could still remember that it was He Jinsheng.

He Dacang was convinced by his father. He was afraid that his father would continue to show off his grandson, so he hurriedly said: "Brother An, when the bean sprouts are up, let's go to the fields and plant them for the agricultural master from Fucheng."

Hey. Gu Jinan responded, and he, Qi Kangming, and the others picked up bean sprouts and walked to a nearby dry land.

In the dry land, Gu Dashan was digging bean ridges with Zezi, Da Tuan, and Ah Pian. A large area had been dug.

After Gu Jinan and the others arrived, they could plant directly.

The bean sprouts picked up with a bamboo shovel are filled with soil. Gu Jinan and the others picked up the soiled bean sprouts, put them into the bean ridges, and then pushed the soil on the ridges into the ridge pits. The bean sprouts were planted. .

Lao Zhu and his son carried a special bucket with a "small faucet" under the bucket. After removing the cloth strip blocking the small faucet, they walked along the bean ridge to water the newly planted bean sprouts. .

With just one walk back and forth, the four ridges of bean sprouts were watered.

This was the first time that Yu Sinong saw people watering crops like this. He was shocked. He pointed at Lao Zhu and his son and asked, "Who came up with this method of watering the ground?"

Magistrate Zheng said: "Gu Jin'an."

Yu Sinong looked at Gu Jinan and sighed: "The future generations are to be feared."

Gu Jinan blushed a little. In fact, Xiaoyu came up with this idea, but Xiaoyu is a girl, and Dachu is not good with girls, so he can't be too famous, so he told others that he came up with it.

Gu Jinan said: "Master Si Nong, this is how soybeans are transplanted. Transplanting soybeans has two advantages. One is that it can harvest the soybeans earlier, and the other is that it can increase the yield."

Yu Sinong had heard about the yield a long time ago, but he didn't believe it and asked, "Can the yield per mu really reach 650 kilograms?"
