The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 27 Dreaming in Wonderland (2)
At this time, Gu Shengwu who came to his senses suddenly said, "Could it be that the brassica seeds can be used to extract oil?"

Zhao Shihua thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You can try it!" Then, he looked at Gu Shengwu seriously and said: "You must not let other people know about this, even if it is the uncle and father-in-law. Say."

Gu Shengwu nodded, and said seriously: "These fruits are available in Lingnan, but they are not common here. I will send the drawing to the silver building directly, without telling them who drew the picture. As for the rapeseed oil, just say It was discovered by my brother-in-law from an isolated ancient book."

Zhao Shihua nodded, and carefully explained to Gu Wanniang and Zhao Anqi: "You must not tell others what happened today, and you must remember it well. Otherwise, I am afraid that my daughter will be in danger..."

Speaking of this, there is no need for Zhao Shihua to continue talking, Gu Wanniang and Zhao Anqi have already nodded in agreement.No matter what they say, they can't put their daughter in danger!
An Ran thought about the third prince, and really wanted to tell her little uncle to keep a low profile, but she didn't know how to speak.She thought and thought, and finally she could only comfort herself: These fruits are all found in the south, and she didn't come up with them out of thin air. Even if she made a trick, it shouldn't be a big problem.As for extracting rapeseed oil, someone will always find out, right?

It didn't take long for the wheat to ripen.

An Ran's family has little land, so his father cut it back alone, and even his mother didn't let him do it, saying that wheat awns would hurt the skin.Seeing An Ran, she was secretly happy for her mother, her father is really a good husband who knows how to love others!

Zhao Shihua picked the harvested wheat to the wheat field, and began to thresh after a day in the sun.The family didn't use a mill, because there was no cow or donkey in the house, and he couldn't pull it by himself.An Ran saw that her father formed a semicircle with a mat made of bamboo slices, and placed a half-moon-shaped hollowed-out wooden frame inside, and then picked up the wheat in her arms, and hit it hard on the frame, and the wheat grains fell off. .

Seeing her father's face tanned by the sun, seeing the sweat on his face due to exertion, An Ran was moved and distressed.Daddy is working so hard!But this should be the last time. Next year, their family will have a much better life, and they won't have to work so hard like Dad.An Ran secretly swore that when she grows up, she must be filial to her father.

Grandpa and Uncle Sanji originally wanted to help, but before they finished harvesting their own wheat, Dad finished the work by himself.

Then, Zhao Shihua asked his mother to watch the wheat drying, and he went to help the second elder of the Zhao family harvest the wheat.Zhao Maosheng said that he had achieved fame and refused to let him go to the land, but Zhao Shihua didn't listen, and only said that as a son, how could he stand by and watch while his parents were suffering?

An Ran sighed, Daddy is really a dutiful son!

After harvesting the wheat, we have to get busy with watering the land and planting rice.An Ran used to think that wheat was planted on dry land and rice was planted on paddy fields, but people now plant them in rotation because of too little land.Immediately after harvesting the wheat, the land was irrigated and planted with rice.An Ran thought, although this means that the crops have been grown for a season, but because they are not planted at the best time, the yield will definitely be affected.No wonder the grain output was not high in ancient times!

After the rice was planted, the family really relaxed, but Zhao Shihua remembered what An Ran said about oil extraction from rapeseed.

Therefore, the rapeseed planted by Gu Wanniang became the experimental product.Zhao Shihua carefully studied several types of rapeseed, and found that the rapeseed of brassica and radish contains a lot of oil, even if it is not as good as sesame and walnut, it has a much higher yield than sesame and walnut.Brassicas in particular have large flower clusters, and if planted well, the yield will be very high.

Coming to a conclusion, Zhao Shihua immediately rushed to his father-in-law's house full of joy, and wanted to tell Gu Shengwen and Gu Shengwu his two uncles what he had discovered, but he found that his research was more thorough than his, and even how to extract oil, how to set up an oil factory, how to sell it, and how to price it. Researched.

After returning home, Zhao Shihua discussed with Gu Wanniang, taking advantage of the fact that the wheat had just been harvested and the rice had been transplanted, and each household was not very busy, so they hired a few people in the village to reclaim the land on the hillside. Good canola.He also saw that the rapeseed can be planted anywhere. Although the soil on the hillside is not fertile, there must be a harvest.

Taking advantage of his free time, Zhao Shihua dried and burned the weeds, shrubs, branches, etc. dug up for land reclamation, turned all the ash into the soil, and watered it several times.It didn't take long for weeds to grow in the field again, and when they reached a certain height, he dug them up and burned them again.After repeating this several times, these reclaimed wastelands will not grow too many weeds.

Gu Wanniang and the two elders of the Zhao family didn't understand him wasting time to make wasteland, but there was no other way to meet the stubborn Zhao Shihua.Zhao Shihua said: "If rapeseed oil extraction is successful, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people. It is worthwhile for him to delay a scientific examination."

So, the two elders of the Zhao family had no choice but to help him finish the work quickly.Now even An Ran is looking forward to the early arrival of winter, so that the rapeseed can be planted as soon as possible, and the fried vegetables will be even more fragrant next year.

The Gu family's silver building started preparations before and opened soon.When Zhao Shihua's wasteland was almost finished, Gu Shengwu came to Zhao's house again, but he came to give them money.

Gu Shengwu said that the Gu family's silver house business is very good, and the fruit ornaments painted by An Ran are unique and beautiful, and they are very popular. He came this time to let An Ran draw some other tricks and take them back.An Ran has been prepared for a long time, and during this period of time, she has also drawn some flower and animal designs for jewelry, and will give them directly to her uncle when he comes.

Gu Shengwu opened it and took a look, the more he looked, the more excited he became.For example, the style of the little fish's fish bones was something he couldn't think of anyway, but he thought it was cute when he saw it, and I believe those young girls would definitely like it.There are also those leaf series, which I have seen on weekdays, but I never imagined that An Ran would draw them like this. After simple matching, they will be so unique, especially the sets of maple leaves, ginkgo biloba, and bamboo leaves. They are so unique and beautiful, I believe those big girls and daughter-in-laws will like it.There are also flower-based ones, with big flowers and small flowers cleverly matched together, which are quite different from the patterns he has seen in his daily life, but they are even more unique and beautiful.
