Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 62

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses. Mrs. Su Zhang became anxious immediately: "He was released in the morning? Then where is he now? What did the county magistrate say? Is there any other request?" ?”

"It was indeed released in the morning. I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that he came in the morning and said that he thanked me for going to the county magistrate to inquire about the situation for him. After learning that my master was not there, he said goodbye and left. .”

Steward Yang shook his head and said, "Maybe at this moment, he is still on his way home. You see, you came here in a bullock cart. He is alone, and he is probably still in a hurry to go back. He is probably on his way."

Su Qinghe also grabbed Su Zhangshi's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, since Steward Yang said so, then father must have been released, and he might be on the way right now, let's go back and have a look, okay?" Ask Dad what's going on."

"Ah, yes, go back and ask him." Mrs. Su nodded hurriedly, stood up and saluted Steward Yang: "Thank you Steward Yang for telling us about this matter, and Steward Yang for helping us last time. I really don't know what to say All right, in short, Steward Yang, you are the savior of our Su family, if Steward Yang has anything to do in the future, please just tell him, we will definitely repay Steward Yang."

Butler Yang didn't take it seriously at all, just smiled and said: "You're welcome, I only came forward for the sake of the business relationship between the two families, I can't afford this thank you, if you are in a hurry, now You can go back and have a look first, maybe you can see Su Jingsen halfway."

A group of people came out of Yang's house in a hurry, and continued to drive the ox cart on the road, staring at each passer-by carefully along the way, wishing to find that the next one was Su Jingsen.In the end, things went against their wishes. They walked all the way without seeing Su Jingsen.

At the door of the house, Su Qinghe and the others' hearts were in their throats, in case Su Jingsen was not at home...

However, before they entered the door, they heard voices coming from the door: "This time, I would like to thank Mr. Shen for saving my life. If Mr. Shen hadn't arrived in time, maybe my life would have to stay in that prison gone."

"Uncle Su, you are being polite. I would also like to thank you all for helping me grow the golden rice, and the little girl Xiaohe. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't know that golden rice is actually a kind of food crop." said the boy Lang Lang. The laughter came out, a little strange, but also a little familiar.

Su Zhang's eye circles were red, she pushed open the door suddenly, saw Su Jingsen at a glance, couldn't bear it any longer, tears came down in an instant, saw that there were still people in the yard, and hurriedly held up her sleeves and pressed around her eyes : "Father, how did you come back? What did the county magistrate say?"

"Do you still remember Young Master Shen? It was Young Master Shen who rescued me." Su Jingsen laughed loudly, reached out and patted Young Master Shen on the shoulder, the smile on Young Master Shen's face didn't change at all, and he just nodded slightly: "It's also a coincidence , I was just about to come over, and when I received a letter from Haoming, I went directly to the county government."

Song Haoming smiled and said: "Mr. Shen's family has a little contact with the magistrate's family, so there is a little bit of noodle, and Uncle Su can be brought back to the county government. Don't worry, Mr. Shen has already explained, and the county magistrate will not do it again in the future." I will come to trouble you."

Su Zhangshi was busy thanking Su Jingsen, and Su Qinghe looked at Su Jingsen carefully, and saw that although his clothes were a little tattered, and his hair and beard were a little messy, he seemed very downcast, but generally speaking, he was still in good spirits. I didn't see any scars, so I was completely relieved.

Su Zhiping and Su Zhi'an went over to thank Mr. Shen, and Grandpa Su dragged Su Jingsen to ask him whether he had endured hardships in prison or not, together with Uncle Zhang and others, they started chatting noisily.

Mr. Shen stood up with a smile: "Uncle Su must have a lot of things to say to his family when he comes back this time, so we won't bother you, so let's take our leave."

"Mr. Shen, stay here for a meal. You saved my father. We have nothing to repay Mr. Shen. We should treat you to Mr. Shen for a mere meal." Su Zhiping hurriedly said, and Mr. Shen waved his hand with a smile: No, I just happened to be."

"Although Mr. Shen is just a little effort, for us, it is a life-saving grace. Please allow us to express our gratitude." Su Zhian also said with a smile. He is a teenager, and his gestures, words and deeds are all mature.

Su Qinghe watched with a bit of sadness. Although the two elder brothers were like adults before, they still had a bit of naughtiness in their temperament. This time, they forced them to grow into adults in a day.

Mr. Shen hesitated a little, Su Zhiping hurriedly said a few more words, finally, Mr. Shen nodded slightly and said: "Otherwise, let's go to another day, you are busy today, so you don't need to specially entertain me, I will live in Haoming today. How about tomorrow at home?"

"Okay, then let's make a deal like this. I will invite you to Uncle Song's house tomorrow. I will be negligent today, so please forgive me, Mr. Shen." Su Zhiping said with a smile, and sent Mr. Shen and Song Haoming out of the courtyard with Su Zhian Door.

"The county magistrate didn't say what to do in the future?" In the yard, Grandpa Su asked again, and Su Jingsen nodded with a smile: "Father, you have asked three times. Didn't I say it before? The county magistrate is very fond of Mr. Shen." You are welcome, Mr. Shen is definitely not the young master of ordinary people. Mr. Shen also explained that all the things our family grows will be sent to him, so that the county magistrate will not embarrass us in the future, and then the county magistrate will give me an apology Woolen cloth."

"Really? From then on, all the things our family grows will be given to Mr. Shen?" Uncle Su asked from the side, and Su Jingsen shook his head: "It's just part of it. Mr. Shen said before that he gave us the seeds, and we will Once the things are planted, just give him a little bit, and we will handle the rest by ourselves.”

The men gathered together to discuss these matters, while the women like Su Zhang were happily discussing about going to buy vegetables and meat later, cooking a good meal, everyone eating vegetables and drinking wine, it was considered a bad luck for Su Jingsen .

Su Qinghe was assigned the task of buying meat, so she had no choice but to go out with her own small basket.

Not far from the door, Su Qinghe happened to see Mr. Shen standing by the river and looking into the field. It was Su Qinghe's family's field, which was planted with corn.Before Su Jingsen was taken away by the county magistrate, they had already broken off the ears of corn, and now only the downed corn stalks remained in the field.

"Mr. Shen, thank you for today's matter." Su Qinghe paused, and went forward to salute Mr. Shen: "If not for Mr. Shen's help, I'm afraid my father would not have been released so easily."

"You have already thanked me just now." The smile on Mr. Shen's face was as warm and warm as ever. He tapped the fan in his palm and asked, "Have you read the letter written a few days ago? This gold How about rice income? Is it troublesome to grow?”

"Mr. Shen, planting this corn is not very troublesome, but there are a few points that need attention. One is insect damage, the other is drought, the third is waterlogging, and the fourth is strong wind. For the worms in the corn cob, just sprinkle some poisonous powder into it, and arsenic is also fine, but since arsenic is highly poisonous, it is best to replace it with a milder one."

While thinking, Su Qinghe said slowly: "...that's all for the time being. I only planted it for two years, and I don't know too much. Some of it is based on my experience in planting sorghum. As for the yield, it is not yet fully mature. On average, [-] corn plants can be harvested per mu, and the weight is [-] catties per mu. However, there were still corn cobs at that time, and the corn was wet, so it was not accurate. "

"Corn, is that your new name for the golden rice?" Su Qinghe was talking vigorously, but was suddenly interrupted by Mr. Shen. Su Qinghe was stunned for a moment before realizing Mr. Shen's question, and hurriedly explained the reason she made up before. Say it again.

"Well, it's quite appropriate." Mr. Shen nodded, Su Qinghe was a little puzzled for a while, when she asked her elder brother to help write the letter before, she directly said corn, and what she said for a long time just now is also what she said Corn, why did Mr. Shen suddenly ask a question now?
"I think the name "Golden Rice" is too long, and it doesn't sound good when you pronounce it." Su Qinghe explained cautiously, and Mr. Shen nodded: "Well, the name of corn is good. Go ahead and say, this mature corn, mu What is the output?"

"On average, one mu of land is [-] catties." Su Qinghe hurriedly said, and then hurriedly added: "It's just that the corn hasn't been threshed and hasn't been dried yet, so this figure is not very accurate. It should be a conservative estimate. It is one thousand catties per mu of land."

At the moment, the best rice yield is four stones per mu, and one stone is 120 catties. That is to say, the best rice yield is only four hundred and ten catties per mu.Compared with corn, it is more than half.

Young Master Shen's expression finally changed at this moment: "Is what you said true?"

Su Qinghe nodded vigorously: "Mr. Shen, I don't need to lie to you about this matter. If you don't believe me, just wait for two days. We will definitely thresh and dry all the corn, and then you can know what I said by weighing it. Is it true?"

"No, Miss Xiaohe, I didn't doubt what you mean..." Mr. Shen quickly waved his hands and said, Su Qinghe burst out laughing: "Mr. Shen, you don't have to call me Miss Xiaohe, just call me Xiaohe. "

"Okay, Xiaohe, I want to ask you, can this corn be planted elsewhere? Is its yield so high in other places?" Mr. Shen asked excitedly. Su Qinghe shook his head. The look of excitement on his face was about to turn into disappointment, Su Qinghe hurriedly said: "I don't know, if it is planted, it should be grown in most places, didn't Mr. Shen say that the seeds of this corn came from overseas? I thought that the weather overseas should be quite different from that in Hongqiao County. Since there are no problems on both sides, other places should probably be fine. However, it is best for Mr. Shen to send someone to try planting, and I also Not too sure."
