Chapter 66 Iron Plow
Li Yushu and Lin's mother didn't know about Erfang's affairs. They were in the field behind the mountain, watching Lin Yuxi test the new iron plow in the dry land.

A few days ago, she carefully looked through the space's information and found something about soybean planting, but there were too many unfamiliar words in the information.

Li Yushu read it back and forth several times, pondering and pondering those words, but she was not knowledgeable enough, so she couldn't understand them completely.

Combined with the memories of the countryside when I was a child, I reorganized the planting process by myself.

Then, from the pile of fertilizers and pesticides in the space, I searched out the rhizobia and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers needed by soybeans.

Then I went to Lin Yuxi so that he could start hoeing.

Li Yushu outlined the requirements. It was nothing more than raking the land to form ridges, and at the same time leaving a wide dry slope for drainage in the future.

The two mu of land was done according to Li Yushu's request, and it would take three or four days for Lin Yuxi and the three of them to dig the ground with hoes, which was really laborious and time consuming.

Li Yushu drew an outline of the iron plow she had seen in the countryside when she was a child, and marked some details and requirements aside, and asked Lin Yuxi to find a blacksmith to see if he could make it.

Originally, it was just a try, who would have thought that the blacksmith was really capable.

Early this morning, Lin Yuxi put the tofu box containing tofu on the bullock cart, sent it to Qingfeng Building, and then went to the iron shop.

The blacksmith had already finished the iron plow, and when someone came, he said that he would count the money after seeing the effect.

Lin Yuxi was also afraid that what Tie Li did would not conform to what Li Yushu said, so she nodded in agreement.

The two sat in an ox cart with an iron plow on it, and headed towards Dashan Village.

When they arrived at Lin's house, Li Yushu had just had breakfast and was drawing pictures with branches in the yard with the children.

Erni's ears were sharp, and when she heard the sound, she dropped the branch and ran out. Li Yushu, thinking about the iron plow, also followed.

Standing beside the bullock cart, she carefully looked at it. The iron plow that took four days to make was not much different from what she remembered.

"It looks similar, but you have to try it to know if it's really good!"

When Lin Yuxi heard this, he couldn't wait to pull up the ox cart and go back to the mountain.

"Then let's go!"

Li Yushu naturally wanted to see the iron plow, so Mother Lin supported her and walked slowly behind. The men also went, leaving Zhao Chunhua and Yang Hongfen with their children at home.

When they arrived at Houshan, the blacksmith, Lin Yuxi and Lin Yudong moved the iron plow down together.

The iron plow is equipped with a plow wall. After tying the rope to the ox, Lin Yuxi began to lead the ox to plow the field.

It has been three hours now, and seven percent of the dry land has almost been plowed.

Lin Yuxi raised his hand and waved his whip, and the cow got onto the side of the road. He walked up to Li Yushu, his brows and eyes couldn't hide his joy.

"This thing is too easy!"

People only need to hold the iron plow, and then drive the cattle to walk around in the field, and they can turn the soil and raise the ridges, which can be said to be less labor and more work.

Father Lin on the side was also very surprised, staring at Tie Li closely, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

Just such an iron frame is worth three or four people. If it was a long time ago, it would be something that I would never dare to think about!
The iron plow worked well, so the blacksmith's silver had to be given away.

The blacksmith is from the county seat, and his surname is said to be Ou, and the list has the word Ye.

He was tall and thick, his skin was bronze, and there was a scar on his face from the corner of his eye to his cheek.

He didn't talk much, just stood aside dryly, looking fierce.

Li Yushu reached into her cuff and actually took out a purse from the space.

"Carpenter Ou, I wonder how much money you charge here?"

Craftsman is the name for those craftsmen here.

Ou Ye's gaze swept over Tie Li, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he still stretched out two fingers expressionlessly.

His voice was a little deep, like a smokey voice, emotional and vicissitudes.

"Two taels of silver, if you still have this kind of thing in the future, you can ask me to make it. I dare not say anything else, but in the entire Jianghe County, only I can make it!"

This is a bit arrogant, but it is true.

Lin Yuxi went to several blacksmiths and said that the requirements were too high and he couldn't make it. If the last blacksmith hadn't told him Ouye's address, the iron plow might still be a blueprint.

Li Yushu did have other farm tools she wanted to make in her mind, but not now.

She nodded with a smile, and took out two taels of silver from her purse.

"With the words of Craftsman Ou, I feel much more at ease!"

Ou Ye took the money and bid farewell.

It's noon now, and it's time for Li Yushu and the others to go back to have lunch, so she said politely: "If Carpenter Ou doesn't mind, why don't you go home and have lunch?"

"No!"

Ou Ye naturally refused the polite words that anyone with a discerning eye could hear. Maybe he thought he wanted to learn new things from Li Yushu in the future, so he added another sentence.

"Thank you madam for your kindness!"

After finishing speaking, he led the bullock cart, turned and left.

After Ouye left, the field was plowed. Lin's mother supported Li Yushu, and the group walked towards the Lin family's yard.

When they arrived at the yard, Zhao Chunhua and Yang Hongfen were just bringing the food into the main room, thinking about calling them back for dinner.

"Are you back? Wash your hands and eat!" Zhao Chunhua walked over with a smile, approached Lin Yuxi, and asked, "What's going on in the field?"

Lin Yuxi described it with joyful eyebrows.

Hearing that Qifendi had been hoeed in the morning, Zhao Chunhua was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

She exclaimed: "This is really a miracle!"

Mother Lin was also very happy in her heart, but she knew that this matter was no small matter, and no one saw it today. If the villagers knew about it, something might happen!
So she coughed lightly, and stopped drinking: "Third daughter-in-law, everyone is hungry, hurry up and get some food inside!"

Zhao Chunhua also reacted, she hurriedly said "Hey" and ran towards the house.

After the meal was finished, Mother Lin still asked Lin Yan to go to the kitchen to bring food to Sanya.

Li Yushu also handed the prepared snacks to Lin Yan, and then went back to the house.

Now that the field has been plowed, it is natural to prepare the beans.

The bean seeds are naturally the August yellow that is marked suitable for planting in August, and the beans inside are plump.

Li Yushu didn't pick any more seeds, just poured the beans into the dustpan, and called Zhao Chunhua to take out the dustpan, and told her to put it where the sun was most abundant.

Zhao Chunhua looked at Li Yushu in astonishment: "Can the beans grow out of the sun?"

The sun is so strong that the grass in the field is wilted. If this kind of seed is exposed to the sun, it will be dry.

"Yes, you can rest assured!"

Li Yushu smiled, but didn't explain too much.

Now, except for the second bedroom, everyone in the Lin family's yard has a high degree of trust in Li Yushu's words.

About how Li Yushu knew so much about this matter, I was curious in my heart, but no one cared.

After all, people's hearts are fleshy, and they really felt Li Yushu's kindness, and that was enough.

Who doesn't have a secret?Live more transparently and be more comfortable!

Seeing that Li Yushu didn't want to say more, Zhao Chunhua immediately picked up the dustpan, her brows and eyes still curved: "That's fine, I'll take it out right away."

The sun in this autumn is very strong, even the air is sultry, and the beans are spread flat in the dustpan to dry.
