Chapter 383： an examination

   All the lent out cattle were put into the slaughterhouse. Mu Yangling inspected it and asked Zhang Wu, "How is it? How are the statistics?"

"A total of 4,358 working days are still owed."

Mu Yangling pondered for a while, and said: "We will collect the money if we are willing to pay it back, and we will also receive the food if we are willing. If we are unwilling, just save it, and we will need it during the autumn harvest."

Zhang Wu also means this, "The autumn harvest requires much less time for ploughing cattle than spring ploughing. If we leave the working days until the autumn harvest, we may not need to hire additional temporary workers for the autumn harvest."

"Check to see if there are cows that are in heat, isolate them individually if they are, and bred them."

Zhang Wu responded.

They now have limited funds and it is impossible to bring in new calves.

After Mu Yangling made arrangements, she rode away on horseback. She didn't need to worry about the cattle farm. Brothers Zhang Wuzhang and Liu did a good job, and the pasture in the cattle farm was also sufficient. Some time ago, the brothers even brought the cattle farm with them. The workers began to cut grass for drying and storage, which shows their thoughtfulness.

Mu Yangling went to the kindergarten. She was going to see her dozens of hectares of land. She spent most of her time here this year, because these will be one of her biggest incomes in a year. The share is the dividend from Fan Zijin.

But the results he made are still different.

The corn was ready to be eaten. Mu Yangling let the horse walk slowly along the field, paying attention to the situation of the corn field in the field. There was at least one corn cobs hanging on each corn stalk. Mu Yangling chose a few. When I broke it apart, I found that the particles were quite full.

Liu Lang and Xiuhong, who came from the nursery, rushed to Mu Yangling panting, "Cousin, why didn't you go back to the nursery first? It made us wait so long in vain."

"Go back after you've read it," Mu Yangling got into the cornfield, went deep, and broke one at random. Seeing the two of them follow him, he smiled and said, "Looking at the situation, this year's harvest is good."

Speaking of this Xiuhong, he is also very happy, "The rain in Hanzhong Prefecture is good this year. Not only is the corn good, but the wheat is also growing well, but the rice is a little bit worse."

Liu Lang's face was full of sadness, "Hanzhong Mansion and Xingzhou Mansion are not too far apart, so the weather here is good, but Xingzhou Mansion is still dry. The rice is about to die from drought, and my grandfather said that he will never grow rice again next year."

"It's possible to be rainy and sunny just across a mountain, not to mention the gap between the two houses," Mu Yangling patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, it's God's job whether it rains or not, let's not worry about him, Go, check with me, dozens of hectares of land, I don't know if I have finished running for six days."

These lands are not handed over to Mu Yangling to manage, they are all done by herself, so she is very familiar with these lands, and she knows how far away she should check randomly.

is nothing more than to look at the problems of weeds, insect diseases and growth.

Liu Lang and Xiuhong are both used to farm work, so they know how to tell the difference and are happy to follow Mu Yangling around.

When Mu Yangling drilled into the depths of the cornfield again, there was an exclamation from Xiuhong.

Mu Yangling was startled, thinking she had encountered something, hurriedly separated the corn stalks and broke in, and asked loudly, "Xiuhong, what's the matter with you?"

On the other side, Liu Lang also quickly went to Xiuhong.

"Cousin, come and see, I found a very strange corn."

When Mu Yangling rushed to Xiuhong's side, Liu Lang was standing beside her with a dark face, and said dissatisfiedly: "Can't you make it clear? You almost scared me to death."

Xiuhong was still excitedly motioning Mu Yangling to look at the corn in her hand, "Cousin, look, black corn."

Mu Yangling's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect to mate corn of other colors so early.

Mu Yangling touched it and pinched it in, and found that the slurry was sticky and thick, she said excitedly: "This may be glutinous corn."

"Glutinous corn?" Xiuhong and Liu Lang were puzzled.

"Just like the difference between the rice and glutinous rice we usually eat, glutinous corn is softer and glutinous than corn, and it is easier to swallow, but the yield is lower." Mu Yangling wrapped the corn husk on it and restored it to its original state. , said with shining eyes: "I don't know if I can find other colors, such as white and purple or fuchsia, it seems that people should pay more attention when harvesting corn, pick out all the different species, and plant them next year. , maybe a few more varieties of corn will be added in a few years.”

Liu Lang and Xiuhong are puzzled. In their opinion, no matter how corn is mutated, isn't it still corn?

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Can you compare the rice we eat with the bi-japonica rice we eat in the palace? They are all rice too."

Liu Lang understood, "That means the glutinous corn is better than the corn we grow now?"

"It depends on which aspect," Mu Yangling said: "Bi-japonica rice is delicious, why don't we plant it?"

"Because the output is not enough, it has to be meticulous and meticulous, and I can't be neglected at all." Xiuhong said.

Mu Yangling nodded, "That's the reason, waxy corn must also have this problem."

"Then why do we work so hard to cultivate this?" In Liu Lang and Xiuhong's view, yield is the most important thing, because nothing is more important than eating enough.

"It is up to each individual to choose what variety to plant, but there must also be a choice. What we need to do is to give everyone more choices, not only corn, but also wheat and rice." Mu Yangling said ambitiously.

Mu Yangling marked the corn, and when it was getting late, he took the two back and decided to come back to see the wheat tomorrow.

The crops in Hanzhong Mansion are really good. Both the wheat and rice have been grouted. At this stage, it seems that there are many spikes and grains. As long as the grouting is firm, the water and soil behind can keep up, and there are no insect pests. Her dozens of hectares this year can barely be counted. Harvest.

Many people are jealous of Mu Yangling's land. If the military camp is not nearby, she has raised more than 1,000 children in her kindergarten.

When Mu Yangling arrived at the kindergarten, he happened to be having dinner in the courtyard. When the children saw Mu Yangling, they all gathered around, "The girl is here."

"Hello girl."

"Does the girl want to have dinner with us?"

“…”

Mu Yangling corrected her a few times and asked them to call her Sister Mu, but they might be a little scared or because of admiration. Anyway, although they agreed, the next time Mu Yangling came, it would still be "girl, girl" called.

Mu Yangling looked around, didn't see Mr. Liu and Bowen, and waved: "Okay, you guys go eat, I'll find Mr. Liu."

Mu Yangling glanced at their rice bowl and asked with a smile, "What's for dinner today?"

"Pork stew with cabbage."

Mu Yangling frowned slightly, "Why are you still eating cabbage? Are there not enough vegetables in the vegetable field?"

The food in the nursery is self-sufficient, and Mu Yangling used all the 16 acres of land in the back to grow vegetables for them, not only vegetables, but also some fruits and vegetables. If the group was not too large, Mu Yangling explicitly forbid it. , Some children still want to pick up vegetables and sell them in the city to make some private money.

A child smiled embarrassedly and said, "We still think cabbage is more delicious, and other vegetables are usually eaten fresh."

Xiuhong was lying beside Mu Yangling's ear and said, "The cabbage is only added when the meat is cooked, and other vegetables are not delicious if they are poured down in a large pot."

Mu Yangling thought thoughtfully, "Is there too many people, too few stoves?"

She had eaten cauldron dishes, and to be honest, it was really not very tasty.

The large pot of dishes here does not refer to cooking dishes for five or six people in one pot, but hundreds of dishes. Mu Yangling thought about it and said, "Then build a row of houses in the back row to make a kitchen, and cook dishes for ten people in one pot. That should improve a lot.”

Yes, it will cost money again.

But Xiuhong didn't persuade her, and she knew she couldn't persuade her.
