Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 69 Preparation before going out
  Time is like running water.

In the past few days, Xie Xie had been busy tinkering with the vegetable fields in the western suburbs. Liu Xiu also followed her and worked in the fields for days and nights, fertilizing and nourishing the fields. Both of them wanted to stay in the fields overnight.

Xue Hanxiang came from the field ridge carrying a food box.

From a distance, I saw two figures lying on the ground gasping for breath.

While gasping for breath, Xie Xie said with emotion: "How come I haven't discovered until now that talents are really rare to find? If there were a few more agricultural talents like you, not to mention a hundred acres of land, it would be given to I have thousands of acres, so that’s no big deal!”

Liu Xiu silently swallowed the pie painted by his master.

Looking back at the results of the two of them's labor over the past few days, they had only completed the tip of the iceberg.

Liu Xiu was already sweating profusely, "Miss, if it doesn't work out, why don't we just spend some money and let the farmhands in the village do it?"

I was not happy to hear the refusal.

"Have you learned it all? I have given you all the land-raising techniques I have learned throughout my life these days. If you don't learn it solidly now, it will be me who will be tired in the future."

Liu Xiu wiped his sweat and said, "I have memorized it all, I just need to practice my skills slowly. You will be leaving in the next few days, so leave the remaining land to me."

I wish I could refuse, but Liu Xiu is young and still needs to be nurtured and cared for.

She didn't want to squeeze people dry in one breath, so she casually asked a few questions about raising land.

"Then let me ask you, what are the uses of burning plant ashes and straw?"

Liu Xiu immediately sat up and replied seriously: "Disinfect and raise the floor temperature."

He declined and nodded, "What are the uses of all kinds of eggshells?"

"Shells contain phosphate fertilizer. Adding white vinegar can turn it into calcium acetate, which can supplement plant calcium. It can also loosen the soil and increase the soil's air permeability and water permeability."

"Okay, but what about the sawdust?"

“Sawdust contains a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus fertilizers and trace elements, which can be used to improve the soil’s aggregate structure.”

He declined a satisfied pat on the butt and stood up.

"Okay, yes, your boy is indeed born to do agriculture! I have decided that this time I leave Kyoto, in addition to clearing out the western suburbs for me, I have another task for you!"

Liu Xiu's eyes were full of expectation, and even had an addictive desire to conquer.

"What do you want to teach me, Miss?"

"No, no." Xie Xie saw Xue Hanxiang, and his stomach rumbled, "I won't teach you this time. You have to find me some people who love farming, preferably people like you. No matter what Method."

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, "Like me?"

"Yes, interest is the best teacher. As long as they are interested in farming, we don't care whether they are agricultural geniuses. If they are trained and trained, they can always become agricultural talents. Previously, I was too demanding. This place is not a place that I want to come to. There can’t be many geniuses.”

He declined to look into the future, "I don't know how many hundreds of acres of land there will be in the future. We can't do everything ourselves. We only have one pair of hands. Those farmhands are clumsy. They only know how to farm and can't do technical work. They can only start again." Recruiting talent.”

Liu Xiu listened and solemnly agreed.

"Master, Axiu, it's time to eat." Xue Hanxiang's voice came along with the smell of food.

He declined and patted Liu Xiu's thick back. Originally, she only reached her shoulders in Zhuangzi. Now, after just a few days, I don't know if she has eaten well, but this child actually feels as if she's having a seizure. Most of his head sprang up.

Xie Xie watched the children he raised grow up, and felt very happy in his heart.

"Eat more and make up for all the weight loss!"

Liu Xiu's eyes were wet, "By the way, Master, I have to go home in a few days. I heard from my aunt that my father is in very bad health now. I am a little worried and want to go back and see him."

"Go ahead. If you need money, just go to Hanxiang and get it." He declined: "It's my fault too. I left you at home since I started researching new vegetable varieties, and I don't know about your relatives at home. I should miss you so much." With that, he declined and ordered Xue Hanxiang to pay ten taels of silver from Zhuangzi's account for Liu Xiu to go home to visit his relatives.

Now that she had her own village and property, she separated the accounts in the general's mansion from her own private accounts.

If the expenses of the house are all in the public account, if they are expenses of Zhuangzi personnel, they are all in the private account. The public accounts are in her hands, while the private accounts are left to Xue Hanxiang.

Today's meal is good, three dishes and one soup.

She and Liu Xiu had been staying in Zhuangzi for the past few days, so Xue Hanxiang tidied up her house overnight and let her and the two of them live in it.

Declining to sit idle, he taught Xue Hanxiang a few special dishes.

Unexpectedly, he also did a good job. Although he couldn't keep up with You Jin's skills, he barely passed the threshold of home cooking.

While eating, Liu Xiu suddenly asked with bulging cheeks, "Where are you going, Master? Why does it sound like you are going to go for several days?"

Xue Hanxiang had already dined with the farmhands in the village. When Liu Xiu mentioned this, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

He refused to swallow the food in his mouth, "It seems to be, Nanling?"

Xue Hanxiang's eyes lit up, "Master is going to Nanling?"

"Yes, I will go with a friend to do some errands. I will be back in seven or eight days at most."

Hearing the words, Xue Hanxiang seemed to sigh and said: "Nanling is a long way away, so you should take more waterways. I will buy some plums for my master to take with me on the road. If you feel dizzy and tinnitus while riding on a boat, just eat two plums and the symptoms will be relieved." "

Hearing that he was so experienced, Xie couldn't help but be curious, "From your tone, it sounds like you are very familiar with Nanling?"

Xue Hanxiang listened, and after a long time she whispered: "My family used to have some foundations in Nanling, but now I'm afraid..."

Seeing the lingering sadness and sadness between his brows, Xie Bu quickly changed the topic and stopped asking further questions.

Xue Hanxiang suddenly asked: "The master is going out so far away. Does the master of the house know?"

"I finally found an excuse to coax him over."

Because he has the imperial title, Xie Shen's son is much more tolerant towards her at home now, and he is not as fierce as before. Sometimes when he sees her face looking tired, he will even say a few words of concern and consideration, telling her not to worry about it. I am tired from all the things I have done on the first day of the month, so I have to do everything according to my ability.

She declined without saying anything, but she said in her heart that she had not meddle in Lao Shizi's comments on the first day of the month since the day she was granted the title. Anyway, with Dugu Xiwei around, there would be no trouble.

After thinking about it, she considered whether she should send someone to send him a message as well.

In case you don't know that you are not in Kyoto by then, what will happen to you?
  After all, what she and Xie Shen were talking about was traveling around the capital near Kyoto for a few days, looking for talents.

After dusk, Xie Xie came out of the ground and watched the sunset over the western mountains. Under a thin layer of golden light, the orange sunset enveloped a touch of darkness and slowly sank into the ground.

"Jiang You, you go to Taifu's Mansion and tell Dugu Xiwei that I am going out and will be back in seven days."

"Yes, miss." Jiang You asked, "Then what if Mr. Dugu asks where you are going? How should I get back?"

Declined: "Don't worry, he won't ask."

At night, when the sky turns dark.

Jiang You knocked on the door of Dugu's house. Dugu Xi looked like he had just returned home, with the curtain hat still on his head. He relayed his master's words exactly.

Dugu Xi heard the words slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."

Jiang You was puzzled and waited for a long time before leaving. Unexpectedly, he really didn't ask anything.
