Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 428 Zhuangzi's Daily Affairs

Sheng Zhen said: "Well, you brought these to them, so they should thank you."

After hearing this, Zheng Sisi glared at Sheng Zhen and said, "You know I just want to live a quiet life, yet you still say these things. Humph!" Then she turned her head and left.

Sheng Zhen stood there, touched his nose, and shook his head helplessly.

The maids and servants did not allow their master to interfere with the packing, so everyone could only rest. Aunt Liu, who had been working in the yard, brought them tea.

Zheng Sisi wanted to know about Zhuangzi's daily life, so she asked, "Aunt Liu, are you able to handle the small workshop now?"

Aunt Liu said happily: "Princess, we have added a few more people to the workshop. Since we started collecting chicken and duck eggs, people from all over the country have started raising chickens and ducks. At that time, we were worried that we would have too much and nowhere to sell them. Later, the head of the family told me that the salted duck eggs and preserved eggs are selling very well outside.

The people assigned by Captain Liu come to pick up the goods every one or two days. Now the elderly and children in the village are responsible for raising chickens and ducks at home, and they are very motivated. "

Zheng Sisi was also happy to hear this: "Then I hope everyone's harvest will be good this year."

Aunt Liu smiled with wrinkles on her face after hearing this: "Good, everything is fine, haha! There are so many vegetable seeds planted on the farm. After planting, there are still extra seedlings on the farm. The head of the family decided to divide it among everyone. Each family took a little to plant in their own fields. Later, when the harvest came, they sold for a good price, especially the first season of rice and potatoes. After the corn was harvested, they were all sold at a 40% discount in cash. Now every household has extra money and food, and the unmarried boys and girls on the farm are very popular. People from all over the country are scrambling to be matchmakers for them."

Zheng Sisi was delighted: "There is such a good thing."

The others laughed too.

Aunt Liu nodded: "Some families have grown up young men. In the past, life was hard, and those who had no money and no food were delayed in getting married. The matchmaker came to their homes several times some time ago, and now they are looking for a date. I estimate that many will get married this winter."

Zheng Sisi said, "Okay, I'll tell the village head Sun later that no matter which family gets married, I'll give a gift in my name."

Aunt Liu: "The head of the family is taking people to dig the last sweet potatoes today. I think he will be back late."

Duke Zheng asked: "Has the yield of sweet potatoes on the farm come out? How many kilograms per mu?"

Aunt Liu: "Everything that was brought back was weighed, and the average weight was over 3,700 kilograms. When we first heard this number, we thought we had heard it wrong.

When we first harvested potatoes, we were shocked when we saw that they yielded nearly 2,000 kilograms per acre. Now, we saw that they yielded over 3,700 kilograms. We were so excited that we kowtowed to the capital to thank the princess.

Many elderly people cried on the spot, saying that this was life-saving food, and that with this food, no one would starve to death anymore.”

Everyone looked at Zheng Sisi and were happy for her.

Zheng Sisi was puzzled. This place was not far from the capital, so how could people starve to death?

She asked, "Is there anyone starving to death in the village?"

Aunt Liu shook her head: "Our village belongs to the emperor's village, so the situation is not so bad. In the neighboring villages, there are elderly people who have starved to death. There is little food at home, and the price of food outside is dozens of times higher than before, and it is still not available. The elderly starved to death in order to save food for their children."

This is a heavy topic. In the past few years, there was drought and war, and there was no food everywhere. People starving to death could be seen everywhere far away from the capital.

Old Madam Zheng coughed lightly and said, "It's good now. With these grain seeds, we won't be hungry anymore after next year." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Aunt Liu said, "Princess, you guys take a break. I'll find someone to make lunch."

Zheng Sisi asked: "Are there so many vegetables in the yard? Do you want to arrange for someone to go to town to buy some meat?"

Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "There are only Uncle Li and his friends eating in the yard, so there really aren't that many meat dishes."

Zheng Sisi also brought a few cooks this time, with the idea of ​​researching new food. She called Dongzhi to go to the kitchen to see what vegetables to buy, and asked her to count them and give the silver to Captain Liu to arrange someone to purchase them.

Then we asked the cooks for help and used anything in the kitchen that could be used for cooking.

After arranging everything, Zheng Sisi stood up and said, "We have time now, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Zhong Ruiyu said, "Okay, I want to go see the pig farm. I wonder how big the pigs are."

Zheng Sisi laughed at him: "You want to see if you can kill the pig and eat its meat now!"

Zhong Ruiyu laughed loudly, making everyone laugh.

Zheng Sisi waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the pig farm."

The maids and servants were all tidying up the rooms, and Rose and Lily followed closely, and the group walked towards the pig farm.
