Chapter 347 High Productivity
Now, not to mention Wu Xiao is not calm, the people who rely on the land for their livelihood are even more uneasy.
"Zimu Niang, please don't sell this rice. Can we buy some for seeds?"
"Yes, yes! We'll give you double the price, okay?"
"..."
Xia Wanniang listened to their chattering and didn't give her any chance to speak.
Wu Xiao wanted it too! This is a rice seed that can produce more than 600 kilograms per mu! If the people of Daxia all planted this kind of rice, would he still be short of food?
Xia Wanniang was so annoyed by the noise that she could only yell, "Everyone be quiet."
Everyone immediately stopped talking and quickly shut their mouths.
Xia Wanniang looked at the people who were surrounding her with eager faces and said, "Don't worry, these rice seeds are also sold in the farm tool store."
"Okay, okay, let's go buy it now." Then he was about to run.
"Come back and listen to what I have to say." The man who ran a few steps stopped and turned to look at her, his eyes full of confusion and doubt.
Xia Wanniang continued, "If you keep planting the same thing, the land will become barren and the yield will be low. So this time, after you harvest the rice ears, plant beans in the rice fields. It can nourish the land. This is all written in agricultural books."
"I don't require every one of you to read agricultural books, but the village chief should at least understand them. There are many methods of planting and farming, and even the prevention and control of pests and diseases." She was worried that if they left, these people would be confused.
The people in Niujia Village looked at their village chief, and the meaning was very clear: Village chief, have you bought the book?
Niu Li also felt very wronged. Recently, he was either building houses, repairing roads, or building a school for the village. He had not been to the city since the beginning of spring. How could he have known that a farm tool store would sell agricultural books?
"I'll buy it in a minute."
The people in Niujia Village breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say this, thinking that they had finally done something reliable.
People from other villages also looked at their own village chief.
The village heads also said they would buy it immediately.
The farm tool shop has welcomed a large wave of customers since the winter wheat season, because Guo is pregnant and he cannot handle it all by himself.
Finally, he asked the puppet theater and the child who was learning to repair tricycles to come over, and run the farm tool store business with him.
The people in the puppet theater gradually began to be less afraid of people, and started to interact with some people. After the performance, they would come out and bow to everyone to express their gratitude.
As for those who caused trouble, they were thrown out by Diao Yongfu directly, and some were even put on the list of people who were not allowed to enter.
The Xiao family's rice waited for a few more days, and after drying in the sun, they used a windmill to blow away the impurities before it was officially put on the scale.
Everyone watched Liu Changqing counting the numbers one by one. When the final calculation was done, the minimum yield per acre was more than 650 kilograms.
The other acres of land, including those rented by Yaya's family and the Huang family, had the highest yield per acre exceeding 700 kilograms.
Everyone was overwhelmed by this huge surprise, especially the Huang and Mao families. Not only was the grain from their one acre of land enough to feed their family for a year, but they could also sell a lot and save a lot of money.
Huang hugged Huang Yu and cried like a tearful person. They, mother and son, could finally live a better life and could pay back the money to the Xiao family.
But she always remembered that she still owed the Xiao family one hundred taels of silver.
Liu Changqing looked at the two of them and said, "It's a happy day, why are you crying? Things will get better and better in the future."
Huang wiped the tears from her face and nodded quickly: "Yes."
Xia Wanniang touched Huang Yu's head and said, "The good days are still to come."
Huang Yu looked up at her. Ever since he met her, everything seemed different. His alcoholic father never appeared again, and he and his mother were getting along better and better.
Wu Xiao's face was full of smiles as he looked at Xia Wanniang: "Great! That's great!"
Xia Wanniang had more surprises for him: "Why not take a look at the sweet potatoes and potatoes I planted."
Wu Xiao looked a little surprised: "What are these?"
Xia Wanniang: "I planted two other crops next to my watermelon field. They can satisfy hunger and fill my stomach."
Wu Xiao: "There are still things like this. Let's go and take a look now."
