Chapter 269 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (19)
On this day, Xu Yin was soaking ginseng seeds in Lingxu Sects mountain spring water, when Chen Mancang came to his home with several people.
My benefactor!
When the visitor saw her, he knelt down and Xu Yin was so frightened that she jumped away.
I have something to say!
Chen Mancang smiled and helped pull the person up.
Brother heroes, they are here to thank you.
Yes, yes, yes! Thanks to my benefactor, I caught the nasty Paihuazi that day! Saving my son means saving my whole family!
He also saved my whole family!
"My benefactor, I heard that you are a righteous man who does good deeds without asking for thanks, but we cannot be ungrateful. This is a little thought from our three families! Please accept it!"
The parents of the three children came with burdens and brought Xu Yin the most valuable things they could get their hands on, including furs, game, rice, and vegetables.
Xu Yin is not willing to ask for it: "When the road is rough, draw a sword to help. Besides, I haven't drawn the sword yet. It's just a convenient thing for me. You don't need to take it to heart. Take the things back and teach the children more in the future. Things given by strangers Don't eat. If strangers ask for directions, either ignore them or ask an adult for help. Anyway, try not to talk to strangers. No one can predict these days. Whether the stranger who suddenly appears next to you is a flirt or not, you can only be more vigilant. Notice."
"well said!"
Accompanied by Shi Feng, the county magistrate came to Xu Yin's house.
He originally heard that the chivalrous man who rescued his wife and nephew turned out to be victims of the famine in Tongxing Prefecture who had fled here. Now they were reclaiming land dozens of miles outside the city, and he didn't want to come.
Later, I heard from the yamen below that the person who contributed herbs and helped the victims seemed to be this chivalrous man. After thinking about it, I decided to come and see him.
After arriving, I found that the trip was worthwhile.
This young knight can actually build a waterwheel.
And the waterwheel he built, called a waterwheel, is more convenient and less troublesome than the waterwheel currently in use.
There is no need for manpower to pump water all the time. The buckets hung on the waterwheel can automatically pour the water from the river into the ditch one bucket after another.
The county magistrate stroked his beard and thought, this is a capable man!
I came outside Xu Yin's house and listened for a while. I saw that Xu Yin was neither humble nor overbearing.
Ive heard that strong men are extremely powerful and can defeat the enemy with one move. It would be a waste of resources to cultivate wasteland here. Are you willing to work with me?
Xu Yin.
No, no, I quite like farming.
Chen Mancang and Shi Feng were so anxious that they winked at her desperately. Why not seize such a good opportunity?
Erlang was afraid that his sister-in-law would be snatched away by an official, so he bowed to the county magistrate in a decent manner: "Sir, my brother wants to take care of me and my third sister. Why don't you wait for my elder brother to come back from the war, and then let my brother work with you?" Sample?"
"You still have an older brother? Your older brother doesn't have such great strength, does he?" The county magistrate saw that the child was very interesting and asked casually.
Yes! My eldest brother has also beheaded countless enemies and has accomplished great feats. He will be able to return home next spring!
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate stopped trying to recruit Xu Yin forcefully.
I wonder if this family is the descendant of some martial arts master?
When the eldest brother kills enemies and beheads people on the battlefield, judging from his younger brother's words, he must have been promoted. Otherwise, how would he know that he would be able to go home to visit relatives next spring? Ordinary soldiers do not have this right.
Those who have made great achievements on the battlefield are often summoned by the Holy One. It is a normal reward to be promoted to an official position. No matter how small the official is, it is bigger than the black gauze hat on his head.
Therefore, the county magistrate sincerely praised Xu Yin, saying that "a hero comes from a young age" and "a formidable young man". He ignored her refusal and left a bunch of gifts behind, and left in a grand manner with the government servants. People from the other three families imitated the county magistrate, put down their gifts of thanks and ran away.
When everyone else left, Xu Yin poked Erlang in the forehead with a smile: This guy is the uncrowned best actor! Really good at acting!
Just when I was about to praise him a few words, I saw the county magistrate turned back and said, "Strong man, can you tell me how you made the water turn the car over?"
Only then did Xu Yin realize that it was not that Chen Mancang and others had never seen a waterwheel, but that there was no waterwheel in this dynasty. The waterwheel in this dynasty was a keel waterwheel that required manpower to pump water into the fields all the time. .
Of course she is willing to do things that are beneficial to the people.
Xu Yin took a charcoal pencil to draw the design of the water-spinning car and handed it to the county magistrate.
When I see the water turning and the car overturned, I think of the county magistrate who improved the keel waterwheel. I guess he is not an evil official.
Thank you so much, brave man. If this thing can really irrigate the fields without manpower and solve the peoples trouble of driving and water, Chen will thank the brave man on behalf of the people of the world!
The county magistrate not only refused to take back the gift, but also said that he would reward Xu Yin.
In this case, he accepted his gifts as soon as he received them, but the three families saw that life was very tight. Xu Yin wanted to return their thank-you gifts, so she went to Chen Mancang to find out where the three families lived.
Chen Mancang only knew a rough idea: "I only know that the tall, thin man's surname is Fang. He lives in Ping'ao Village and his father is the head of the village. The other two families seem to be further away than Ping'ao Village and closer to the mountains. I saw that among the things they sent, a lot of them were furs, and they might be from Orion Village."
Hearing this, Xu Yin was thoughtful.
Being close to the mountains, does it mean that more herbs can be dug?
Her "Chinese Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book" only has eight herbal medicines to light up. I don't know what kind of random skills will be unlocked after lighting them up.
Thinking about this, she couldn't sit still and even wanted to set off to visit Orion Village now.
It's just that you can't live without people at home these two days. After soaking the ginseng seeds, they have to be taken out and germinated within 24 hours. I can only wait until this wave of work is over before going.
Xu Yin was not idle while soaking the seeds. In the morning, she surrounded the germination field, loosened the soil and dug drainage ditches. In the afternoon, she cut some wooden boards to make a batch of germination boxes.
The next morning, put the soaked ginseng seeds into the germination box.
The germination substrate is still specially spent 500 points to ask the system for the formula.
Except for ginseng, she has not been able to get the seedling breeding manual from the system mall for the time being. Simply pick those that are in large quantities, follow the ginseng seedling cultivation method, first soak and then germinate, and try a few of each type first.
If they sprout, then follow this method to grow seedlings in batches; if it doesnt work, think of another way.
After finishing this work, Xu Yin brought the return gift, entrusted the chickens to Shi Fengnian, and took the two children to the next town.
After putting away the thank-you gifts brought by several families that day, she took out the fruits, vegetables and game that could not be stored and shared them with Chen Mancang and the others.
I kept two rabbits and a pheasant at home. I stewed spicy rabbit dices and made pheasant soup that night, and the two little ones had their mouths full of oil.
She planned to return the rice noodles.
The year is not good, and the people must not have enough to eat.
The furs were kept, and the return gift was replaced by cloth given by the county magistrate.
She also changed some of the dry goods such as mountain goods as she watched.
In addition, each family received a pound of local rock sugar, a pound of salt, and two bags of cakes.
The pastries are also brought by the county magistrate.
Xu Yin left some of each kind for the two cubs, and divided the rest between them.
