Chapter 181 A Thousand Plants of Tea

After the sun sets, Fengshan returns to peace again. The mountains in the distance can still be seen in shape, but the color of the mountain is only thick ink. White clouds hide in the mountains, tired birds and crows return to the nests on the branches, and various unknown small insects begin to appear. On the grass, insects and frogs are screaming in their ears.

Fan Dianyuan and Lao Ma sat on the ridge of the field beside the sugarcane field. There was a hint of chilly on the spring night. The mountain blowing down makes people forget the heat of the sun during the day. A cool stream flowed slowly from the south stream and towards the sugarcane field on all sides.

The two of them were blowing the gentle evening breeze and soaking their feet in the cool water, which was so comfortable. In the past few days, they were no longer busy running back and forth to the bank of the south stream to fetch water and farm, but instead digging a water diversion canal in the ground with a hoe.

The waterwheel lived up to expectations and played its huge role. It was like an old ox. It could not be fed for fodder or whipped. It rotated all day long, and the stream water was continuously drawn from the stream, flowing into the sink, and then flowing to the canal in the ground, nourishing a hundred acres of land.

Fan Dianyuan and the others were busy digging trenches during the day. According to Liang Chuan, the water diversion canal should be reasonably reduced, and the distance to all sugarcane lands should be the closest distance to reduce the water's transpiration on the ground and unnecessary losses.

The sugarcane field itself is full of rows and rows. The ditch in the middle is very deep and the soil is covered very high. Crops such as sugarcane are prone to fall. If the soil is not buried deep, a typhoon in summer can collect all the 100 acres of sugarcane field.

If there are ditches and ridges in the sugarcane field, as long as the water is diverted, it can flow into the sugarcane sugar field. When the water seeps into the field, the sugarcane can play an irrigation role, saving a lot of effort.

After working for three days, the water diversion channel that could cover the entire sugarcane field was finally dug. The soles of my feet felt the clearness of the stream, and neither of them could believe it was true.

Fan Dianyuan beat two taels of sorghum today and spent a lot of money on him, but he was happy. There was a plate of dried fried fish meat next to him. The fish was still the gift from Lao Ma's son to help Liang Chuan see the fish basket every day and then Liang Chuan gave Ma Dan a thank you gift. The northerners do not like drinking fish soup, and often cooked the soup for Ma Dan to drink, and then several people took out the fish meat and added vegetables to eat it.

The snow-white fish soup does not need to be added with any seasonings, just add a few coarse salt and a few green onions. The taste of the boiled fish soup is quite rich, but adults are not used to it. Ma eggs drink this fish soup, let alone how long it took. The shriveled body now looks very good now, and the meat seems to have grown a lot, as if it is an illusion. Lao Ma even thinks that the radish head has grown taller.

The dried fried fish skin is slightly burnt, with a little coarse salt attached. After the fish is fryed thoroughly, the earthy smell will be much weaker. The salty smell in the mouth makes people feel comfortable. Then a mouthful of inferior sorghum wine, although it is not a good wine, it is better than nothing.

After working for the day of farm work, I soaked my feet, blew the evening breeze, ate fish, and drank another two taels of wine. Every pore on my body seemed to be moaning happily. The alcohol could relieve fatigue, and the low alcohol level completely relaxed the muscles.

The two of them picked up the thick porcelain wine bowl and sipped it in their mouths, letting the wine taste it in their mouths and then slowly swallowed it into their stomachs, and they were reluctant to let it go. The wine was a little bitter, but the throat was filled with the fragrance of food...

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Old Fan, our lives are really great. We did not die in the northwest of the chaos, nor did we die on the way to flee. When we came to Xinghua, we still had a bite of food. Haha, now our days are much better than before."

"Our ancestors bless us, we should not die. After we have lived so much suffering, we should be in the process of ours."

"We can't even make a few taels of wheat in our hometown, but everyone is still rushing to plant it. People in this place cannot grow rice, and they don't even look down on wheat. The land is simply deserted and would rather plant useless crops than grow grain. The sugarcane you plant is sweet, but it can't be eaten as a meal. Are you surprised?"

Fan Dianyuan took a sip of wine and pondered for a long time. Haha, Lao Ma was confused all his life. How could he know the ways of these southerners? These southerners are smart enough to rush to such a waterwheel without human resources. How many people in the north can think of it?

Growing sugarcane? I’m afraid it’s not as simple as eating or selling. Her own boss, big and small, is like a god in the sky, and she will do business at a loss. She bows to Liang Chuan, and doesn’t know how Liang Chuan’s head grows and how she came up with so many ideas.

"Old Fan, what are you thinking? Come and drink!"

Lao Ma pulled Fan Dianyuan back from his thoughts and continued to say to him: "Danwa told me something. He said that He Lu would open a school soon and let the child go to school without any money. It was the one who sent fish to Danwa every day, Liang Chuanlang. Tell me, where is such a good thing in the world!"

Fan Dianyuan thought for a while and said, "If this matter is fake, it's fine, we won't lose much, but if it's true, we have to cherish it. We don't have the conditions to support our children to study, so we can only feel wronged. But if others give us a chance, we have to seize it. The baby is more promising than you. You can't just slim mud on the ground all your life, which is the blessing of our ancestors. The mud legs of several generations can still be made into a pen."

Fan Dianyuan thought for a while and said, "We must be able to make money by growing this sugarcane. Otherwise, the young lady would not be condescending to pierce the fields every day. Is it uncomfortable to embroider and enjoy the scenery at home? Let's take a look in the future. If this path is successful, we will plant it in a few years!"

"Old Fan is still your opinion. I almost lost my life after carrying water these days. My kids can't bear this hardship. This Liang Chuanlang of He Lu is really a charity. He is running a school for free. What's the purpose?"

Fan Dianyuan couldn't understand Liang Chuan either. He had heard a lot of anecdotes about this person. It is said that half of Helu's village is working under his hands. The sugarcane land he planted seems to have his share. It is not entirely owned by the eldest daughter of the Zheng family. He can even kill tigers and his literary talent is also very good. Is this kind of person who runs a school for everyone to study for good deeds?

Is there really anyone in this world who will work hard to survive for others?

The two of them were eating fish and couldn't figure out the joints. The wine bowls were coming and going, feeling the coolness of spring nights, and cherishing the peace at this moment. Being able to live and have a full meal was satisfied before, but now I still want to send my kids to study, haha.

After Sun Houpu returned home, he couldn't wait to ask his friend to go to the field to collect a thousand tea seedlings. One thousand of the best dragon tuans are better than snow. These are all good tea seedlings from Jianzhou. After improvement, the tea farmers of his own home have cultivated the most suitable tea tree for the environment of Changkeng!

This tea seedling is suitable for Changkeng, but not necessarily suitable for Xinghua. The feng shui and soil quality of the two places is not a little bit. The ones that are most suitable for Jianzhou are also improved, and the taste is still much worse than Jianzhou tribute tea. Therefore, their Changkeng Sun family is doing a hot business, but they still take the low-end route.

He knew that Liang Chuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp. On the surface, he looked like a country bumpkin, but the country bumpkin would not write such wonderful pairs in the store and let people challenge him. What he was most worried about was that Liang Chuan was actually an unborn master hiding in the mountains. There were so many masters who drank tea. It was better to be more generous than others to fool Liang Chuan with some inferior goods to satisfy his desires. Moreover, the people he liked had to rely on him to fight for...

I still know which one thousand tea seedlings or a woman I like is more important. No matter how much money it is, I can't get a good person back...

Liang Chuan didn't expect that the young master of the Sun family's tea merchant was so impatient. After calculating the journey, it was equivalent to the rich and rich boy who had not even had a sleepover when he got home, packed the tea seedlings and rushed back to Fengshan. How many years have he been single? So anxious... Zheng Ruoying's girl is so attractive in their eyes, and so many people want to make up her.

Zheng Ruoying happened to be in Fengshan, because Liang Chuan really helped him solve the problem of indoctrination of sugarcane fields, which was incredible. However, Liang Chuan gave her enough surprises, which made her numb and became accustomed to the accident caused by Liang Chuan. If Liang Chuan couldn't come up with any new tricks, she felt that Liang Chuan must have a problem.

She was very happy that Liang Chuan helped him solve the problem, but she didn't like seeing Sun Houpu again.

Sun Houpu gave him a strong feeling. She could clearly feel the man's desire for her. She could even see a burst of strong love from the other person's eyes. She admitted that Sun Houpu was the most outstanding and richest among the blind daters over the years. Her family background and appearance were quite good, and she could even be understood as "high-end". Logically speaking, she has always been looking forward to the appearance of such a person. However, when this person appears, she feels restless, wants to escape, and wants to resist.

Sun Houpu passed by Fengshan again. He noticed the huge water truck, scooped up water from the stream and sent it to the ground continuously. His tea fields were all stepped, and this kind of water truck was not used, but he could tell at a glance the importance of this big guy to farmland.

It gave him a shock.

Shocked, he made a quick decision and gave Liang Chuan a greater favor. He asked his tea farmers to help plant all of these thousand tea seedlings. Now only Liang Chuan needs to provide one place.

Liang Chuan didn't know what this kid was selling, but his philosophy in life was that he was upright and did not fear the shadows were slanted. When soldiers came, there were generals to block them, and when water came, there were local garrisons. When problems were solved one by one, they were not afraid of problems they had not encountered yet.
