Chapter 93 Busy Farming, Increased Skills(2/2)
It's as if there is nothing in this world that he can't do.
My grandpa has met many scholars, but this is the first time I have seen someone like Su Ze who is proficient in everything and learns anything quickly.
Last time Lin Xianzong saw Su Ze doing carpentry, he was amazed. Su Ze was just an ordinary apprentice at the beginning, but he rose to the level of a master in just one month. The progress was so fast that Lin Xianzong wanted to accept Su Ze as his direct disciple.
.
Maybe this is genius. My old grandpa has become numb to Su Ze’s inventions every now and then. He nodded and said:
"My daughter-in-law, Lu, is very good at weaving. How about we ask her to find some people to use your machine to weave?"
Su Ze said: "Grandpa, I don't charge for this loom. I will deduct the cost of cotton and purchase the cloth according to the market purchase price. What do you think?"
The old man said directly: "The people in Ning Wei, your manager, can rest assured. Everyone knows that you will not deceive everyone."
Nowadays, Su Ze of the seaside salt farm is handed over to the children. Su Ze takes all the coarse salt produced by the children according to the price of coarse salt in the market.
Many families have discovered that they can make more money by letting their children go to the seaside salt fields to dry salt than by helping with farming at home.
Moreover, Su Ze would also give lectures to children working on the farm and teach children how to read on the beach. Now the Changning Guards are willing to let their children go to the seaside salt fields to bask in the salt.
However, the income from salting has gradually become unstable. Storms at sea have gradually increased in May, and the weather suitable for salting has become less and less.
Salt production and sugar production are also facing the problem of insufficient soybeans. The ghost market is not open at the end of the tenth month, and large-scale purchase of soybeans can easily arouse suspicion, allowing interested people to decipher the secret recipe of salt and sugar production. It happens that during this period, sugar and salt production are all over the place.
Encountering a shortage of raw materials, Su Ze planned to plant next season soybeans in Changningwei.
It happened that the wasteland reclaimed by Luo Hanjiao and Zhu Qi could be planted with soybeans as nitrogen-fixing fertilizer in the first year. Su Ze selected the best beans from the previous soybeans for breeding, and then gave them to Zhu Qi and Luo Hanjiao for planting, and promised them
The soybeans grown are purchased at market prices.
These Arhats and Saltmen originally thought that Su Ze would use them as slaves until they died, but they did not expect that Su Ze would give them the reclaimed wasteland for planting and distribute seeds to them.
They often listened to Su Ze's lectures on weekdays, and now they were even more grateful to Su Ze. Some of them even voluntarily signed contracts with Su Ze and became Su Ze's domestic servants.
After finishing his work in the wasteland, Su Ze came to his sweet potato field again.
At this time, the fields were full of green leaves, and Lin Cainiang, the little carrot head, was taking care of the sweet potato field.
Ever since she ate sweet potato porridge last time, Lin Cainiang has been obsessed with this sweet food. After reading every day, she would go to the fields to weed weeds.
When Lin Cainiang saw Su Ze, she excitedly came over and pointed at the sweet potato field and said, "Brother, these sweet potatoes are growing so well! My seventh uncle praised the field for being well taken care of!"
Su Ze's farming skills have reached Level 5. He nodded and praised: "You have worked hard these days."
"It's not hard work!"
Su Ze added: "However, if the leaves of sweet potatoes grow too well, they will crowd out the nutrients of the roots. Come on, let me teach you how to control the growth."
After saying this, Su Ze found a woven basket, then walked into the field and started pinching the leaf seedlings growing at the top.
Lin Cainiang also followed her into the field. Although she didn't understand what Su Ze meant by "nutrients", when we started farming in Changning, Uncle Lin Qishu also said that Su Ze's accomplishments in farming were not the same as his.
Up and down, the little carrot head had some unconditional trust in Su Ze, and started to pinch the leaf seedlings along with him.
After working hard for half a day, Lin Xianyang came to the sweet potato field and called Su Ze to the weaving workshop. The basket was already full of fresh sweet potato leaves.
Su Ze handed the basket to Lin Cainiang and said, "Take these leaves back and fry the sweet potato leaves for you to eat at night."
Lin Cainiang happily returned to her family temple with the basket, while Lin Xianyang took Su Ze to the wing behind the family temple.
"Those Luo Hanjiao and Zhu Qi have already moved into the empty house of Changning Guard. Only Xiong Wu is still locked up in the punishment hall. My father told you to put the weaving workshop in the back of the ancestral hall, so that the guard
No one will gossip here."
Su Ze quickly lamented that it was his grandpa who had taken care of everything. After all, this was the Ming Dynasty, and ethics were very strict. Even military guards like the Changning Guards were very strict with men and women.
Su Ze knows that changing customs cannot happen overnight. To change this trend, working women must make money.
Lin Xianyang added: "My sister-in-law has been helping the family since my brother died for the country. She is quick and good at work. Brother Aze, as long as you teach her, she will naturally lead others to weave."
."
As they talked, Su Ze and Lin Xianyang arrived at the ancestral hall. A middle-aged woman wearing a cross-collar blouse was already standing behind the grandfather, waiting for Su Ze.
"Sister-in-law." Lin Xianyang saluted his sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu, and then said to Su Ze: "My sister-in-law is a chaste woman who was given a royal title by the county government. The weavers you want, brother Aze, were all summoned by my sister-in-law."
