Chapter 61: Shilixiang of rice flowers
In a blink of an eye, when the rice is ripe, a season of rice raises a season of ducks. Long before, the big ducks listened to the instructions of the Zhou family and transferred them home to raise them in batches.
Although the farmers raise ducks together with the Zhou family, they do not set up fishing nets around to prevent ducks from running away like the Zhou family, but each has its own methods, fixed with bamboo or wooden strips, which are surrounded by fences, and now they have been removed one after another.
The sky was just bright, and the air was mixed with a night of coolness. A group of people came outside Pingshan Village. This was Bai Jianran who solemnly brought people to inspect it.
"Gaga", everyone can walk to the rice fields of Pingshan villagers, but a few ducks still shuttle through the green rice fields, forming a beautiful picture of calmness and tranquility. "Last time I came here, I didn't pay attention to these ducks!"
Bai Yitian was strange: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" He looked around a few times, and there was nothing wrong, but when he looked up and saw his father's look, he understood and said, "There are fewer ducks in the south, and there are more ducks in the rice field to the north of the village," he said, quickly followed his father and became a tour guide and explained, "However, now the ducks are big. It has been put away a long time ago.
Bai Jianran bent down and looked at the heavy rice in the field, "Why is this?" He stared back at his son and asked dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say that ducks don't eat rice?" It is because of this that the Zhou family's rice field and duck farming are covered with a mysterious veil.
Bai Yitian couldn't help laughing. His father seemed to attach more importance to this matter than he thought. When he cared, he was confused. He smiled and asked his father and said casually, "It was also the Zhou family who found it first. If this duck is too big, it will mistakenly eat ripe rice, so he needs to harvest the duck before the harvest."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting cooler day by day, but young men like Bai Yitian are still dressed in single clothes when their firepower is strong. The autumn wind blows Bai Yitian's hair, which makes him a little more unrestrained and unrestrained.
nodded and saw that Zhou Bo was not an idle person, which was really good.
Standing in the field, his vision was extremely wide, and he comfortably took a breath of air with earth. The autumn wind sent him cool and felt more cool and pleasant. Looking at the scene of the autumn harvest, Bai and his son were in a different mood, and he felt that the rice flowers were fragrant!
He was very happy. He thought that his son had such a friend, which was finally reassuring. Looking at his son's brilliant and handsome posture, he had a little smile and pride on his face, and happily walked forward with his son's cheerful footsteps.
"Is your father relieved now?" Bai Yitian rarely saw his father in such a good mood and couldn't help jokingly, "My son has been worried about this matter for his father."
Bai Jianran spit on him, looked at him, frowned and said, "When my son is to share my worries, can you still ask for a reward?"
Bai Yitian gave a sound and said helplessly, "My son is so careful that he was guessed by his father!"
Bai Jianran snorted and scolded, "Poor mouth!" After scolding like this, the smile on his face could not collapse.
The father and son have always been filial. There are few times when they talk and laugh like this. For a while, even the faces of the county magistrate and others have a smile.
The father and son talked and laughed like this, pointed to the rice field, and took everyone to chat and watch.
"The grass people and others are waiting for the arrival of the county magistrate!"
Bai Jianran looked up and saw a group of people kneeling next to the field, and the number of people was really considerable.
He was stunned: "This... folks, please get up quickly!"
The county magistrate hurriedly picked up Li Zheng without waiting for his signal, "Brother, the ground is cold. Get up quickly!" He also motioned everyone to get up and speak.
Li was excited. Two days ago, he received a notice from the county and immediately held a general meeting of all the villagers. Although he repeatedly stressed that everyone should treat this matter calmly and not hinder the work of the Bai County magistrate, he could not calm down by himself. It was really that the Bai County Magistrate was coming!
Just now, when I saw the county magistrate approaching from afar, the villagers knelt down with him.
Pingshan Village is a small mountain village, and the county magistrate is the existence of a god. The county magistrate and others pulled everyone up one by one. In the end, the county magistrate sighed helplessly: "Don't be nervous. I heard that our Pingshan Village has a bumper harvest of rice this year. The county magistrate took us here to learn the technology of raising ducks in rice fields from your neighbors! " After listening to the county magistrate's words, Bai Jianran waved his hand, looked at Li Zheng beside him, and kept nodding and said, "You Li Zheng, think of what the people think and be a model for the whole county!"
He admires such a small official who is sincere to the people, without any pretentiousness and intrigues in officialdom.
"County Lord," Li Zheng's identity is just the smallest one-mile long, not even a formal official position. Now he is praised in public by Bai Jianran, who is famous for Dashun. He suddenly burst into tears and can't help kneeling down and sincerely said, "This is what a villain should do, it should be!" He didn't want to open his mouth and continue: "The villain is ashamed to praise the adults!"
The folk customs are simple and the neighbors are friendly. In fact, the requirements of farmers are not high. Seeing that the harvest is in sight, everyone is very satisfied.
"Good! OK!" Bai Jianran didn't allow him to kneel down and hurriedly held him and said, "If you don't make contributions and don't invite rewards, it's the example of Li Zhengzhong!"
The county magistrate turned around and said to the villagers, "Our adults came to Pingshan Village in person this time to inspect the rice fields to raise ducks. I hope that all the neighbors will not hide their private life and let these successful methods spread to benefit the people of Dashun. At that time, you will all be the meritorious officials of the State of Dashun! The county magistrate is here to thank the neighbors for us!"
The villagers around him were so modest when they saw this obedient figure and heard that they would become the meritorious officials of the Dashun Kingdom. At first, they were stunned and puzzled. Later, some people gradually figured out that although it was a little far away, everyone wore this hat happily and couldn't help but be excited.
Li Zheng hurriedly nodded and agreed: "I dare not be a meritorious official, but everyone can talk to the county magistrate about the method of raising ducks in rice fields. Every family can talk about it."
First, someone gave a hum, opened his mouth, and then someone tried to start first.
There are many benefits of raising ducks in rice fields! Ducks forage in the field, which can not only kill insects, but also kill grass.
"The duck shoveled back and forth, and then emptied the rice field."
"Duck dung was thrown into the field, which added fertilizer to the field."
Standing at the head of the field, pointing to the green rice field, a group of villagers said happily.
"Master, please see, my rice field is light, there are few grass, and it is growing well."
"Me too. My family has a small population. I used to worry about pulling weeds. This year, I saved a big deal."
"Master, please calculate for me. This cures less insects, saves grass, and collects more rice. The ducks are all rented. Now you can sell the big ducks and return the duckling of the Zhou family. How much money can you get?"
Those in Pingshan Village who did not join the peasant association also wanted to draw ladles according to the gourd, but there was no way. On the contrary, they were eaten by ducks. Later, there were also bad-hearted people who wanted to secretly harm the rice fields around the peasant association. However, those people in the Self-Defense Forces took pork for nothing every month and had never caught wolves and catching thieves and rubbed their fists every day. The palm was thinking about making some achievements and grabbed a family on the spot. Crops are the lifeblood of farmers. They were almost killed by everyone that night. The next day, they were directly decided by the whole village to be kicked out of Pingshan Village. For a while, the Zhou family was even more prestigious, and those who complained about the Zhou family were scared to death.
Bai Yitian followed his father and looked around without a trace. He secretly praised it in his heart. Sure enough, this farmer will play a great role. It's not slavery, but just attachment. The two sides are profitable and united!
He whispered behind him, "Sir, the young master of the Zhou family looks lukewarm. He is really smart!"
Bai Yitian stared at him: "How about Brother Bo? Can you evaluate it?"
Without his tongue, he knew that he had said more and quickly covered his mouth.
Don't talk about the topic: "Look at the master's good mood today!"
Of course, the surrounding villagers are in a better mood. Now even the county magistrates have praised this law and want to promote it throughout the county. Isn't Pingshan Village ahead of others? Then when I came back to visit my relatives, what a face on my face! And the little man in the village dares not jump out to sing against the stage.
This festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone is happy. Therefore, the trip is full of smiling faces, hearing all the words of harvest, and the mood is even more comfortable.
While talking, Li Zheng said, "If you don't think it's shabby, I hope the county magistrate can enjoy it and eat in the house!"
But Bai Jianran shook his head and refused. There were more than a dozen people in his group. Isn't it a small Li Zheng family? Let's go to the Zhou family. Not to mention that the Zhou family's house is very large. Not only is there many rooms for lunch break, but he also knows the benefits of the Zhou family's Zhenweizhai, not to mention the Xuejian of the Zhou family. It is estimated that Xu Cong'an, who has been forced to go directly to the kitchen by Xu Cong'an who went directly to the Zhou family.
Xiancheng and others also thought of Xuejian's cooking skills, their eyes lit up, and their legs automatically moved in the direction of the Zhou family.
The document asked Li Zheng to help find a few really experienced and knowledgeable old farmers to go to the Zhou family and chat while eating. He still needs to make a record. This is an important plan for farming in the county next year!
Li Zheng was also a clear person, and at the invitation of the county magistrate, he came to Zhou's house. Because of the large number of people, he simply moved directly to the large table in the side courtyard to eat together. Bai Yitian was so happy that he got rid of his father, only got into the hut with Xu Cong'an, and let him bring the food in without saying a word.
Zhou Bo asked someone to invite his uncle's third uncle and fourth uncle as his companion. Uncle was exposed to his nephew's light and could eat in the same hospital with the county magistrate. His face was full of face and was even more brilliant.
Originally, Bai Jianran also insisted on having a meal with the people and everyone, but under the persuasion of the county magistrate, he found that everyone was very excited and restrained. On the contrary, he could not eat well, so he stopped insisting and called Li Zheng to enter the house with the prestigious old man and Uncle Zhou in several villages.
In the kitchen, Xuejian commanded everyone to be busy with their feet. There were plates of fresh vegetables, fat duck meat, spicy hair and blood, chicken stewed mushrooms and so on. There was actually a sour and spicy shredded gourd, so that everyone could no longer have time to talk.
