Chapter 348: Not a Good Impression
What the wife said was right. Next time someone asked, he would not even share his experience. Let them do whatever they wanted.
Just like Bai Yunxi said, no matter how jealous people were of her family's sloping land, they dared not come to her house to make trouble.
The crops were growing more and more pleasingly. She and the second son stayed at home in their spare time to study the Shennong planting manual. According to the instructions in the manual, when to water and when to fertilize, they strictly followed the manual.
She didn't believe that she dared not give her a high yield with a golden finger.
Slowly, she found that no matter what her family did, there were always people in the village standing not far away to watch, and then they followed suit to water and fertilize their own fields.
When she found this phenomenon, Bai Yunxi ignored it and told the children at home what to do. Just pretend not to know, as long as they didn't come to disturb them, they could learn from them.
If they can really increase the yield of their own fields, it would be a good thing, so that they don't have a big harvest and people will be jealous and sour.
After staying in the village for almost a year, Bai Yunxi has more or less understood the temperament of the villagers.
Although the life of the villagers in Liushuwan is hard, it is barely acceptable, so there is no big evil, but small evils are constant.
The most obvious characteristic is bullying people and picking up weak persimmons.
No one dares to provoke those who are stronger than them, which is why she has always asked her family to work hard.
Only by surpassing them can you gain a foothold in the village. Not only will no one dare to bully you, but you will also have to greet them warmly when you meet them.
This is reality and human nature.
When the rice and wheat flowers are in full bloom, Bai Yunxi and her son study the Shennong manual again. According to the manual, during this period, sufficient fertilizer and water must be provided to increase production and high yield.
Bai Anyan and his wife took Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to shuttle between the two slopes in the east and west, fertilizing and watering, and were very busy.
Of course, when the villagers saw them busy, they also fertilized and watered their own fields.
Some people had concerns in their hearts, so they shamelessly asked. Seeing their shameless appearance, Xiaowu stood up before Bai Anyan could speak.
Tell the people who came to ask directly that their wasteland was the first year of planting crops, so they naturally had to give enough fertilizer, otherwise how could the crops grow well?
Listening to Xiaowu's tone, looking at his young age and calm face, everyone turned their heads to look at the crops that were growing well, and felt that it made sense.
Giving enough fertilizer to the fields can indeed increase the yield of farmland.
As for the tricks, they were embarrassed to ask Xiaowu in front of them.
Especially the pair of calm eyes in front of them, everyone was always a little afraid.
In a blink of an eye, the rice and wheat ears in the field became heavy, and they became yellower day by day. They could be harvested in half a month.
Bai Yunxi went to the field to check it out, and started to plan in his heart.
With so many fields in the family, it is unrealistic to rely on the two elders and their husbands to harvest alone. After all, the fourth and fifth children are young, so they can help out. As strong laborers, they can directly affect the harvesting speed.
During dinner, Bai Yunxi told his family about his concerns,
"It's time to harvest soon. Mom wants to hire a few temporary workers in advance. They say that we should rush to plant and harvest, and we can't delay autumn sowing."
"It's the first time for our family to plant so many fields. It's inevitable that we are in a hurry. If the grain can't be stored in time, it will be a pity."
Bai Anyan listened to his mother's reminder, thought about it, and didn't object,
"Mom is right. If the rush to harvest is delayed, the autumn sowing will be affected, and the autumn harvest will also be affected. I agree to hire temporary workers."
