Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 284 Planting Island

"It's very simple, stay here and grow vegetables for Gu!"

The lord looked at Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin, and said word by word, as if he had anticipated the choice of Lin Xiao and others.

Yu Xilin and Lin Xiao looked at each other, with serious expressions in their eyes, obviously they didn't expect the lord to let them farm!
Lin Xiao thought back to the joyous look of the man in black who was the leader just now holding vegetables, and she probably understood the reason.

Vegetables are extremely precious on this island!

But it shouldn't!

According to Lin Xiao's understanding of the island, the island is extremely rich in resources and wild vegetables emerge in endlessly. How could there be a shortage of vegetables?

This unscientific!

The lord seemed to see through what Lin Xiao was thinking, and he said lightly:

"Back then, the lord of the Ming Kingdom fled to this island with a group of people. Craftsmen, maids, imperial cooks, and guards were all available, except for the lack of farmers."

"Over the years, we have tried to grow our own vegetables, but with little success. We can only eat meat, which makes us weak and even suffer from strange diseases."

The lord glanced at Lin Xiao, and silently took off the grimace mask on his face, revealing the old face inside.

His face was much paler than ordinary people, his face was wrinkled, his skin was rough, his eyes were sunken, and he looked very terrifying.

"It's scary, isn't it? I'm just in my thirties!"

The lord smiled wryly, with deep sorrow in his eyes.

Lin Xiao knew that the reason why the Lord and the others became like this was actually related to the long-term lack of vitamins and carbohydrates.

"Teaching a man how to fish is worse than giving him a fish, my lord, I can teach you how to grow vegetables and some simple crops!"

Lin Xiao looked at the lord with determination in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of important decision.

When the lord heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he hid it, looked at Lin Xiao, and asked:

"really?"

"Yes, as long as the lord agrees, after I teach you those skills, let us go!"

Lin Xiao nodded firmly and looked at the lord.

The lord pondered for a moment, and finally nodded:
"Yes! As long as you teach us the skills you know to the people of the Ming Dynasty, Guzi will let you go!"

"A word is settled!"

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered brightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

She didn't believe that the lord would let them leave this island easily, but in order for Lin Xiao to be willing to impart all his skills, the lord would appease her first, and she had to take advantage of this time to let them prepare the boat and food quietly it is good.

"Then...let's start now! My lord, please take us to your planting base first!"

Lin Xiao stood up straight and said respectfully.

Hearing this, the lord called a girl without any hesitation. The girl was none other than the one who raised the savages.

"Hongye, take them to our planting island."

Hongye glanced at Lin Xiao, then at the lord, and seeing the determination in the lord's eyes, she nodded and said to Lin Xiao and the others:

"Please come with me!"

Lin Xiao and the others immediately followed behind Hongye and walked towards the outside of the palace.

After a while, they came to a rockery, and when they bent down, it was a winding path, and the humid sea breeze rushed towards them.

The trail ended in a cave with water, where several small boats were moored.

After getting on the boat, Hongye swayed the oars skillfully and walked slowly towards the sea.

Lin Xiao and the others sat in the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery outside and feeling the cool sea breeze.

At this moment, they are comfortable.

Hongye was very quiet, she didn't say a word, she just rowed steadily, occasionally looked up at the sky, with a touch of yearning and melancholy in her eyes.

"arrive."

Suddenly, Hongye said, her voice was calm and waveless.

Hearing Hongye's voice, Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin turned their heads to look outside.

At this time, the boat had already docked on a small island, and the shore was surrounded by endless green lawns.

"What a beautiful island!"

Lin Xiao sighed in admiration, but didn't dare to take another look.

She knew that she couldn't be greedy for this beautiful scenery, because what they needed to accomplish next was more important than this beautiful scenery!
"You two young masters, please come with Hongye."

After Hongye finished speaking, she jumped off the boat first and walked towards the center of the island.

Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin looked at each other, and followed closely behind her.

Walking along the way, I met a lot of people dressed as farmers. Looking at Lin Xiao and the others, doubts and vigilance flashed in their eyes.

Hongye took the two of them to the center of the island, where dense green vegetables were planted.

It's just that because of the dense planting, these green vegetables look like they are malnourished and drooping.

Seeing this, Hong Ye frowned, and hurried forward, and asked eagerly to the farmer in charge of the vegetables:
"What's going on? How did the vegetables become like this?"

"I, I don't know what's going on! It was fine yesterday..."

Frightened by Hongye's fierce tone, the farmer stuttered.

It's really not his fault. He took care of these vegetables with all his heart, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.

It was fine yesterday, but it turned out like this early in the morning, isn't it cheating!

When Hongye heard this, she frowned even deeper. She looked at the surrounding environment, and finally her gaze fell on the piece of wilted green vegetables, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in her heart.

"These vegetables are so densely planted, it's no wonder they don't wilt!"

Lin Xiao also frowned, glanced at the red leaves, then at the drooping vegetables, and sneered.

When Hongye heard this, her face turned pale:
"Do you know how to grow vegetables?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she wished she could slap herself. Isn't this asking nonsense!
If you don't know how to grow vegetables, why did the lord let you bring them to grow the island?
Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled: "I just understand a little."

Understand a little?

Hong Ye stared at Lin Xiao with wide eyes, and couldn't help but doubt Lin Xiao's words.

Judging by his confident appearance, he doesn't look like someone who knows a little bit!
The farmer at the side stopped doing it immediately when he heard what Lin Xiao said. He pointed at Lin Xiao and shouted angrily:

"What do you understand? Do you know how to grow vegetables? Just talk nonsense here! Do you know how precious green vegetables are here? How can they be enough to eat if they are not grown more densely?"

The other farmers gathered around when they heard the commotion, pointing at Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin.

"It's really shameful to point fingers when you don't understand anything!"

"Why did Miss Hongye bring people who don't know anything to Zhizhi Island?"

"Look at their shabby appearance, shouldn't they come to grab our vegetables?!"

"I'm old!"

"..."

They didn't believe Lin Xiao at all, obviously they also thought that Lin Xiao was not some kind of expert vegetable grower, but a robber who only knew how to brag!
