A lucky wife born again from a farm family

"Gu Xiaoyu, the yield of Guimingshu per mu is really three thousand kilograms? That's too much. You're not bragging, right?" Ji Zhenniang felt that the yield of cassava was definitely not that high: "There is a hundred kilograms of Guiming potato in my dowry. Zhuangzi is a wheat farmer, and I will check the accounts every year after harvesting grain, but that Zhuangzi only harvests three thousand catties of wheat a year, and you, the devil, can harvest three thousand catties from one acre of land?"

She glanced at Gu Jinli and said sincerely: "We are so familiar with each other, you don't need to brag."

You're exaggerating. Even if I know you well, I still wouldn't believe you.

Gu Jinli was speechless and said to Erqing and Sanqing: "Since Mrs. Xie doesn't believe it, go and bring in the most complete cassava tree and show her."

"Yes." Erqing and Sanqing left the house and came back soon, with Danian carrying a large sack behind him.

"Madam, the cassava tree is here." Erqing shouted.

Gu Jinli called to Ji Zhenniang: "Come out and have a look."

Danian has opened the big sack and dragged out a whole cassava tree... Only a palm-high stump is left in the upper part of the cassava tree, but under the stump, there is a lot of cassava growing.

This pile of cassava was very big, bigger than the basket for carrying grain, and there were a lot of them. Kuang ran over and counted them. He patted his thigh with a bang and said, "Oh my God, this plant has a total of twenty-eight cassava." , it’s so long!”

Each one is as thick as a wrist, and the longest one is more than half an arm long.

Kuang said to Xie Huaihua: "Sophora japonica, ask your steward Xie to get a big scale and weigh this cassava plant?"

Manager Xiao Xie is Xie Huaihua’s fiancé.

"Hey~" Xie Huaihua's face turned red when she heard this, and after saying yes, she hurriedly ran away.

More than half a quarter of an hour later, Manager Xiao Xie came over carrying a large scale. Xie Huaihua was afraid that he would not be able to carry it, so she carried it for him from behind, which made Kuang joke: "Look at Huaihua looking so distressed for her fiancé. Brother Cheng and his daughter-in-law, you should hurry up and get things done at the health center in order, and quickly find a good day for them to get married, so don’t delay them."

Ji Zhenniang said: "The date has been chosen a long time ago. It will be the sixteenth day of the first lunar month next year. Aunt Niu, you will have to add makeup to the Sophora japonica by then."

Then he looked at Gu Jinli: "And you, Gu Xiaoyu, you are so rich, but you can't be stingy. You have to add a lot of makeup to our Sophora japonica."

Gu Jinli smiled: "Okay, when our maids Xiaoji, Erqing, Sanqing, Yangtao, Qingpu Qinghui and dozens of other maids are getting married, remember to add makeup to them."

Aha, I have a lot of maids at home, Ji Zhenniang, just wait until you lose your money.

Ji Zhenniang was dumbfounded. Then she remembered that Gu Jinli had many unmarried maids under his command. She felt that she had suffered a big loss and was furious. She pointed at Xie Huaihua and said, "Then you have to triple the amount of makeup for our Sophora japonica!"

Xie Huaihua blushed when she heard this and wished she could hide in the ground. She hurriedly said: "Madam, there is no need for this... I don't need too much dowry~"

The voice was small, out of shyness.

Steward Xiao Xie smiled when he saw this, blocked her with his body so that she could hide a little, and said to the three masters present: "I would like to thank all the masters in advance."

Then he said to Mr. Kuang: "Mrs. Niu, do you want to call this cassava plant?"

Mr. Kuang nodded: "Yes, it's this one. You can weigh it to see how much it weighs."

Steward Xiao Xie waved, and two boys carrying stone locks behind him came over and started to put stone locks on the large scale... The stone locks used on the large scales range from small to large. After adding three stone locks weighing ten kilograms, Finally the weight of cassava was weighed.

"Mrs. Niu, this cassava plant weighs twenty-eight pounds and six taels in total." Manager Xiao Xie was very surprised, and his tone was a little higher: "It is really a high-yielding potato crop!"

"It's really twenty-eight pounds and six ounces?" Mrs. Kuang was excited and hurried over to look at the scale. When she saw that it really weighed this, she was so happy that she pulled down another cassava and asked Steward Xiao Xie to weigh it. It came out to be two pounds. Four taels.

"Oh my God, one cassava weighs two kilograms... Is this thing very drought-resistant and loves to thin the ground? If so, then this ghost potato is worth planting, even if it is poisonous, it must be planted!" Kuang was so excited that she almost went crazy Tears: "This poor place in the northwest has little water and thin land. Even sorghum cannot grow well. If we have this thing, we can have a way to survive in times of famine."

"You don't know that since all the major cities and towns missed farming this year, I have been worried about a famine next year... Seven years ago, there was a drought in the northwest, and victims flocked to the south in droves. It was the cheapest time to live a large life. We can only exchange for five kilograms of coarse grain... I'm really afraid that we will end up in that situation." Kuang cried. She was really afraid. If there was a famine and the bandits came again, how could they resist? live?

Niu Dabao said: "Why are you crying? Isn't this another good food that doesn't need to be picked up? Plant it well and you won't starve to death."

Niu Dabao felt very sorry for Kuang, and found that she was older and less courageous than when she first came to the northwest. This was because she was afraid that the bandits would come again, and she, a woman, could not protect her family members in the guard house, and what would happen to her. What a tragic thing, just caused by worries.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The three of us finally got together, so we have to take the opportunity to have a good meal and have some fun." Niu Dabao finally got free time and personally brought Kuang to Dabuwei, just to make her stop. Think about bad things and have fun.

Gu Jinli also saw that Mr. Kuang was a little anxious, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Niu is right. It's hard for the three of us to get together together, so we need to eat something good. I brought a pair of pork ribs here for Ji Zhenniang's side." Kill two chickens and stew the ribs, it will be a delicious meal."

Ji Zhenniang was heartbroken when she heard this, and shouted: "Why should we kill two of our chickens instead of just one?!"

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't want to kill two? Then kill three."

"You're still raising the price!" Ji Zhenniang was furious, but she had never defeated Gu Jinli in a quarrel. She could only angrily ask Aunt Xie to kill two chickens and make a chicken stew with ribs.

Xie Cheng smiled and said: "The pork ribs and chicken have been stewed. If you want to eat, we will go and see the well."

Drafting water was a big deal, and the three families were very concerned about it, so they followed Xie Cheng to see the well.

The well was in front of the residence, some distance away. They took a carriage and arrived at the well two-quarters of an hour later.

A large tent was set up next to the well. This is the residence of Master Yan and the others. At this moment, Master Yan and the others are digging the well.

"Sir, madam!" Yan Xiaowu saw them, waved to them and shouted, his face full of joy.

Yan Xiaowu is only fifteen years old this year. Because of his young age, he was assigned to do the work of picking soil outside, and his current identity is Master Yan's son.

In addition to him, Yan Er and Yan San are also the sons of Master Yan.

However, these three sons are all fake. Their true identities are the descendants of the Qin family's secret guards. They have followed the Qin family since Qin's grandfather.

In addition to Master Yan's family, Yang Tao's brother Yang Shu and Lao Lu's two fake sons also helped dig wells in Dabuwei. However, drilling wells was a tiring job. They had just drilled the wells for three hours in the morning. Currently resting in the tent.
