The Reborn Wife is Farming

All the loaned cattle have been put into the stalls. Mu Yangling inspected it and asked Zhang Wu, "How is it? What's the statistics?"

"A total of 4,358 working days are still owed."

Mu Yangling pondered for a while, and said: "We will collect the money if you are willing to pay back the money, and we will collect the food if you are willing to pay back. If you are unwilling, let's save it. It will be needed in the autumn harvest."

Zhang Wu also meant the same thing, "Autumn harvest requires much less time to use cattle than spring plowing. If we save the working days for autumn harvest, we may not need to hire additional short-term labor for autumn harvest."

"Check to see if there are any cows that have reached the estrus period. If there are any, isolate them separately and breed them."

Zhang Wu responded.

They are now limited in funds, and it is impossible to bring in new calves.

After making arrangements, Mu Yangling rode away. In fact, she didn't need to worry about the cattle farm. Zhang Wuzhang and Liu brothers did a good job, and there was enough pasture in the cattle farm. Some time ago, the brothers even took the cattle farm with them. The workers began to cut pastures to dry and store, which shows their thoughtfulness.

Mu Yangling went to the nursery, she was going to see her dozens of hectares of land, where she spent most of her time this year, because these lands will be one of her biggest incomes in a year, another The share is the dividend from Fan Zijin.

But the results I made were still different.

The corn can already be split and eaten. Mu Yangling let the horse walk slowly along the field, paying attention to the situation of the corn field in the field. There is at least one corn cob hanging on each corn stalk. Mu Yangling chose a few When the place is broken open, it is found that the particles are quite full.

Liu Lang and Xiuhong, who ran from the nursery, rushed to Mu Yangling panting, "Cousin, why didn't you go back to the nursery first? We waited for so long for nothing."

"I'll go back when I'm done watching." Mu Yangling got into the cornfield, went deep and broke another one at random. Seeing the two people coming in, he smiled and said, "Look at the situation, this year's harvest is good."

Speaking of this, Xiuhong is also very happy, "This year, the rain in Hanzhong Prefecture is good. Not only the corn is good, but the wheat is also growing well, but the rice is not so good."

However, Liu Lang looked sad, "The distance between Hanzhong Mansion and Xingzhou Mansion is not very big, and the weather here can be regarded as smooth, but Xingzhou Mansion is still dry. Last time I went home to see, I still wanted to see corn, and I could barely see wheat. The rice is almost dying of drought, and grandpa also said that he will never grow rice again next year."

"Across a mountain, there may be rain and sunshine, not to mention the gap between the two prefectures." Mu Yangling patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, it's God's job whether it rains or not, so let's not worry about him. Come on, check with me, dozens of hectares of land, I don’t know if I’ve finished running in six days.”

Mu Yangling did not entrust others to manage these lands, but did it by herself, so she was very familiar with these lands, and she knew how far away she should randomly check.

It is nothing more than looking at weeds, insect diseases and growth problems.

Both Liu Lang and Xiuhong are used to doing farm work, so they know how to distinguish, and they are happy to follow Mu Yangling around.

When Mu Yangling got deep into the cornfield again, there was a scream from Xiuhong.

Mu Yangling was startled, thinking she had encountered something, hurriedly separated the corn stalks and broke in, asking loudly, "Xiuhong, what's wrong with you?"

On the other side, Liu Lang also quickly went to Xiuhong.

"Cousin, come and take a look, I found a very strange corn."

When Mu Yangling rushed to Xiuhong's side, Liu Lang was standing beside her with a dark face, and said dissatisfiedly, "Can't you make it clear? You almost scared me to death."

Xiuhong was still excitedly gesturing to Mu Yangling to look at the corn in her hand, "Cousin, look quickly, the black corn."

Mu Yangling narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect to be able to breed corn of other colors so early.

Mu Yangling felt and pinched it in, and found that the slurry was sticky and thick. She said excitedly, "This may be waxy corn."

"Glutinous corn?" Xiuhong and Liu Lang were puzzled.

"Just like the difference between the rice we usually eat and glutinous rice, waxy corn is softer and easier to swallow than corn, but the yield is lower." Mu Yangling wrapped the corn's buds and restored it to its original state , eyes sparkled and said: "I don't know if I can find other colors, such as white, purple or purple red. It seems that when harvesting corn, people should pay attention to it, pick out all the different species, and plant them next year. , Maybe several more varieties of corn will be added in a few years."

Liu Lang and Xiuhong were puzzled. In their opinion, no matter how mutated corn is, isn't it still corn?

Mu Yangling laughed and said, "Can you compare the rice we eat with the Japonica rice eaten in the palace? They are all rice too."

Liu Lang understood, "Does that mean waxy corn is better than the corn we grow now?"

"That depends on which aspect," Mu Yangling said, "The green rice is delicious, why don't we grow it?"

"Because the output is not enough, we have to work carefully and take care of it carefully, and we can't be negligent at all." Xiuhong said.

Mu Yangling nodded, "That's the reason, waxy corn must also have this problem."

"Then why do we have to work so hard to cultivate this?" In Liu Lang and Xiuhong's view, the output is the most important thing, because nothing is more important than having enough food.

"It's up to each individual to choose which variety to plant, but there are also choices. What we want to do is to let everyone have more choices, not only corn, but also wheat and rice." Mu Yangling said ambitiously.

Mu Yangling marked the corn, and when he saw that it was getting late, he took the two of them back, and decided to come back to see the wheat tomorrow.

The crops in Hanzhong Prefecture are indeed good. The wheat and rice have been filled with grain. At this stage, it seems that the spikes are long and the grains are large. As long as the grain is solidified, the water and soil behind it can keep up, and there are no pests, then her dozens of hectares of land this year can barely be counted. It's a good harvest.

Many people are envious of Mu Yangling's land. If it weren't for the military camp nearby, and her nursery has raised more than a thousand children, there might be troubles in this land.

When Mu Yangling arrived at the nursery, he happened to be having dinner in the courtyard. When the children saw Mu Yangling, they all gathered around, "The girl is here."

"Hi girl."

"Would you like to have dinner with us, girl?"

"..."

Mu Yangling has corrected her a few times and asked them to call her Sister Mu, but they may be a little scared, or because of admiration, anyway, although they agreed on the surface, next time Mu Yangling comes, it will still be "girl, girl" shouted.

Mu Yangling looked around, but didn't see Mr. Liu and Bowen, so he waved and said, "Okay, you go and eat, I'll go find Mr. Liu."

Mu Yangling glanced at their rice bowl and asked with a smile, "What's for today?"

"Pork stew with cabbage."

Mu Yangling frowned slightly, "Why are you still eating cabbage now? Is there not enough vegetables in the vegetable field?"

The vegetables in the nursery are all self-sufficient. Mu Yangling used all the 16 acres of land behind to grow vegetables for them, not only vegetables, but also some melons and fruits. If the collective is not too large, Mu Yangling expressly forbids Well, some children even want to carry vegetables into the city to sell and earn some private money.

A child smiled shyly, and said, "We still think cabbage is more delicious, and the other dishes are usually eaten fresh."

Xiuhong lay next to Mu Yangling's ear and said, "The cabbage is only put in when the meat is cooked, and other vegetables will not taste good after being cooked in a big pot."

Mu Yangling was thoughtful, "There are too many people and too few pots and stoves?"

She has eaten big pot dishes, and to be honest, they are really not very tasty.

The big pot of dishes here does not refer to a pot of cooking for five or six people, but hundreds of them. Mu Yangling thought for a while and said: "Then build another row of houses in the back row as a kitchen, and one pot of cooking for ten people will do. This should improve a lot.”

Yep, it costs money again.

But Xiuhong didn't persuade her, she knew she couldn't persuade her.
