   Chapter 357 357 Pepper Breeding

   Moreover, she is going to play mahjong, and she is afraid that she will never give way to others.

  Oh, it is estimated that he is not a real son...

   As it turns out, King Anyang's guess was right.

After   , after King Anyang got the mahjong, he soon arranged for someone to make a pair of jade and send it to Kyoto.

   also sent someone to teach the imperial concubine how to play mahjong.

   As a result, the imperial concubine, the concubine, dragged Concubine Shu and other concubines all day long to play mahjong in the bedroom.

   Concubine Lian Shu, soon, she no longer cares about pretending to be sad.

   Going to the imperial concubine's palace to report every day, she became the most loyal number one friend of the imperial concubine.

After   , mahjong spread to the palace of the imperial concubine and gradually became popular in the harem of Emperor Yan.

  The concubines and concubines almost all fell in love with mahjong, playing cards every day, and competing for jealousy.

   Afterwards, the officials and family members also learned mahjong at the minister's home.

   Playing mahjong quickly became the most popular activity in the Kyoto aristocracy.

   Of course, these are all later stories.

   New Year's Eve vigil, everyone in the Liu House slept very late.

   It was not until after the hour, when people went to light firecrackers, and everyone went to sleep.

   The next day, the first day of the new year.

   Liu Shi just went out, everyone brought gifts and came to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Shi.

   Hei Gang and his wife presented the precious jade Buddha, which is very valuable at first sight.

  The Liu family was not stingy, and sealed red envelopes of 10 taels of silver to the two of them respectively.

  Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao gave Liu's fox fur coat, which is warm and beautiful.

  Liu couldn't put it down, and after giving the couple a red envelope of 10 taels respectively, he obeyed the arrangement of his daughter, went to the backyard, and put on the fox fur coat.

  The Liu family who put on a fox fur coat, looked very extravagant.

   King Anyang and Princess Anyang were very surprised when they met.

   I feel that Liu's bearing is not inferior to the wives of some aristocratic families in Beijing.

   Even faintly felt that Liu Shi seemed to be a little familiar.

   I can recall it carefully, but I can't remember where the familiar feeling came from.

  To everyone's surprise, next, Princess Anyang came up to join in the fun after seeing Lin Xiaozhi and Xiao Qing paying New Year's greetings to Liu.

   also gave a gift.

   It was a heavy box, and at a glance, you could tell that there were a lot of good things inside.

   Princess Anyang stepped forward, and the King of Anyang naturally followed. The two of them even paid New Year's greetings to the Liu family as a junior.

   This shocked Liu Shi.

   hurriedly helped the two of them up, and then hesitantly, he stuffed a big red envelope for each of them.

  Fortunately, she had guessed that many people would give her New Year's greetings today, and she had prepared the red envelopes long ago.

   The big red envelopes are filled with 12 taels of silver and are for family members.

  The smaller ones are two taels, which are given to the servants in the house.

   There are also some of the smallest red envelopes. For each red envelope, she only put two copper plates in it.

   These are for the village children who will come to the door later.

   She used to live in Lin's house, and rarely met children to ask for red envelopes.

   But this year is different. The Liu family is now considered the richest in Dashi Village, and there will definitely be children coming.

   Liu Shi was fortunate at this time. Fortunately, she had money in her hand, and she packed a box of red envelopes in advance.

  Otherwise, the red envelopes may not be enough.

   "Thank you Auntie!" King Anyang and Princess Anyang thanked them with a smile.

   Holding a heavy red envelope, his face was full of smiles.

  Yes, after playing mahjong with Mrs Liu last night, now they don't call Mrs Liu the old lady, but call them auntie directly.

   This is actually a further manifestation of the relationship between the Anyang Palace and the Liu Family.

   When Liang Yu saw this, he also took a box and stepped forward.

   gave the box to the Liu family, bowed and bowed his hands, and paid New Year's greetings to the Liu family.

   After just now, Liu Shi was no longer afraid.

   cheered Liang Yu up and gave Liang Yu a big red envelope.

   "Thank you Auntie!" Liang Yu also smiled and thanked.

   Holding the red envelope, he also smiled contentedly.

   Then, the servants came in to pay New Year's greetings.

  The Liu family's people are all generous, and with the presence of King Anyang and others, the Liu family's servants also received a lot of red envelopes today.

  After eating glutinous rice **** for breakfast, Liu Zhai started to make poker.

   Anyang Wang couple, Li Xiao couple, Hei Gang couple, Liang Yu and Henry Zhang participated.

   After discussing and discussing, we divided the labor and cooperated, and finally made two decks of playing cards before noon.

  Two decks of playing cards are naturally not enough, so everyone proposed to continue in the afternoon.

   King Anyang and Princess Anyang are very valuable. They have already been allocated a deck of playing cards, but they still expressed that they would continue to make playing cards with everyone.

  Especially Princess Anyang, because of her high painting skills, she is responsible for drawing all the content on the playing cards.

  Princess has been busy all morning. After getting used to it, she has found the feeling and is very happy to contribute her own strength.

   The rest of the people feel the same way. They are usually used to being pampered and rarely do things by themselves.

  I am idle today, and it is even more lively when everyone is busy together.

   And things are done, there is no sense of accomplishment.

   One by one, they are very interested.

   In addition to playing cards, Carpenter Sun also made two sets of mahjong in one morning.

  This is of course not enough, Sun Carpenter will continue in the afternoon.

  So, after the meal, Liu's house continued to work.

   It was almost evening, when everyone made four more decks of playing cards.

  There are six decks of playing cards in total, two decks for Anyang Wang, one deck for Liang Yu, one deck for Hei Gang, one deck for Henry Zhang, and the remaining deck for Lin Xiaoyue.

   Before dark, Sun Carpenter only made four sets of mahjong.

   King Anyang, Liang Yu, Hei Gang and Henry Zhang each shared a pair.

   Hei Gang felt that his playing cards and mahjong were not enough, so he found Henry Zhang specifically and borrowed Henry’s mahjong and playing cards.

   said that he would pay it back when he returned from the Yue family.

   Henry Zhang didn’t want to respond at first, but when he thought about Hei Gang’s words, there were indeed poker cards and mahjong in Liu Zhai, and he didn’t seem to have a reason not to borrow them.

   That's it.

   Hei just got Henry Zhang’s playing cards and mahjong, and he even made a special trip to Sun Carpenter’s house to customize a few sets of mahjong.

   Facts have proved that this decision of Hei Gang is indeed correct.

  Because later, after he brought mahjong and playing cards to Zhou's house, he couldn't get them back.

   Mahjong is easy to solve. After Carpenter Sun did it, He Gang directly took a pair and gave it to Henry Zhang.

   As for the poker, Henry Zhang didn’t want He Gang to compensate him, he did it himself.

   thinks that his deck of playing cards was made by King Anyang and Princess Anyang, which is of great significance.

   In the end, Hei Gang was asked to pay fifty taels of silver.

  Therefore, Henry Zhang’s small treasury made another payment.

   Everyone instantly discovered Henry Zhang’s hamster attributes.

  Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival.

   During this time, Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao gave themselves a long vacation.

  I didn’t do business, either stay at home or go to Zhoujiazhuang.

   I spend most of my time at home, eating delicious food every day, playing cards, and living a leisurely life.

  Lin Xiaoyue felt that she had grown flesh all over her body.

  But after the Lantern Festival, the couple got busy.

  Li Xiao was busy arranging the Chiwu Army who were about to return in large numbers, and Lin Xiaoyue had to arrange the chain store.

The day after    Lantern Festival, Jiang Dahe came to the door with the construction team.

   After some negotiation, we quickly followed up and reached a fixed cooperation.

  Jiang Dahe's decoration team has naturally become a special construction team with fast growth.

   And, on the same day, they set off with the three brothers and sisters of the Zhao family, ready to start work.

   Director Fang arranged for someone to follow Zhao Shanshan and others, so Lin Xiaoyue was basically relieved.

   After a few days, it was confirmed that the plan for the chain store was going well, and Lin Xiaoyue stopped paying attention to the chain store.

   In turn, started the breeding of pepper seedlings.

  Yes, spring peppers are ready to start.

   At this time, the wasteland of Zhoujiazhuang has been reclaimed. According to Lin Xiaoyue's instructions, Director Fang distributed Zhoujiazhuang's Chiwu army into twelve villages to ensure that each village has enough manpower.

   On this day, Lin Xiaoyue went to Zhoujiazhuang and demonstrated the breeding methods of pepper to everyone under the watch of representatives of various Zhuangzi.

   "Attention, the ground where pepper seedlings are raised must be deeply plowed, and a sufficient amount of farmyard manure must be added at the same time." Lin Xiaoyue came to a field prepared in advance, used a small **** to dig the soil, and checked the soil condition.

   I found that the ground had been deeply turned over, and a lot of farmyard manure had indeed penetrated into the soil, and I was satisfied.

   Then, Lin Xiaoyue asked Fan Ming to tell everyone about how he dealt with the nursery land.

  Fan Ming hurriedly said, and he knew everything about the inquiries from the representatives of the villages.

   Lin Xiaoyue continued until everyone had almost figured out the situation.

   "All seeds need to be exposed to the sun for two days before sowing. Then soak them in warm water overnight."

   "Due to the weather, I just did a little drying on my peppers so they can be used."

  Lin Xiaoyue looked at everyone.

"The chili seeds are precious. All the chili seeds used in the villages have already been processed. They will be distributed to the villages later. After soaking them, you can spread and breed them. No other treatment is required. "

   "Yes!" Everyone was relieved.

  Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while, and then said: "The method of soaking in warm water, I will personally demonstrate it to you later."

   Everyone looked surprised.

   responded again.

   Lin Xiaoyue began to sow pepper seeds.

   "Sowing chili seeds is very simple, just take out the seeds and sprinkle them evenly on the seedbed."

  Lin Xiaoyue said, while skillfully operating, and soon after sowing the seeds of a field.

   "After sowing the seeds, use a **** to take some fine soil around. Gently cover the fine soil on top of the seeds." Lin Xiaoyue said, and began to operate again.

After   , he asked several assistants to follow their own actions.

   After this step was completed, Lin Xiaoyue continued.

   "The next step is to spray water to moisten the soil."

   said, Lin Xiaoyue demonstrated again in person, and let the assistant continue the work.

   "After finishing, cover the ground with mulch."

   Lin Xiaoyue just finished speaking when one of the assistants brought the fabric prepared in advance.

  In ancient times, there was no plastic film, so Lin Xiaoyue chose a material from the cloth instead.

  Although the effect is not as good as plastic film, it is not satisfactory.

   Seeing the assistants cover the nursery field with cloth and then cover it with soil as instructed by Lin Xiaoyue, people are very curious to see it.

   "Next, in about seven days, the seeds will emerge."

   "It's followed by timely watering and proper ventilation."

   "Wait until the seedlings grow so tall that the cloth can be completely uncovered." Lin Xiaoyue said, and gestured to the crowd.

   Immediately, he explained in detail the timing and method of watering and ventilation.

   Next, let everyone ask questions, and Lin Xiaoyue answered them one by one on the spot.

   Later, representatives from each village were allowed to participate in the breeding in other breeding grounds.

  Lin Xiaoyue was watching from the sidelines, and if he found something wrong, he would remind him in time to ensure that every representative who came to Zhoujiazhuang to study and visit could learn the breeding method of pepper.

   So, all day long, except for lunch and a short break, everyone was busy in the breeding grounds.

  Before it got dark, with the efforts of everyone, all the pepper seeds of Zhouzhuang's family were finally sown.

   The representatives of each village also received the pepper seeds from their villages and returned to their villages with excitement.

  Lin Xiaoyue felt very tired and fell asleep on the carriage back to Dashi Village.

  During dinner, I left the table without eating much.

   After that, I went back to my room.

  Li Xiao found that something was wrong, so he made a special trip to Lin Xiaoyue's room to inquire about the situation.

   "It's nothing. It's just that I've been idle for too long. I've been busy all day, and I'm a little tired." Lin Xiaoyue said with a pale face.

   "Sleep and wake up tomorrow."

   "Go back quickly and continue eating. Don't let mother worry." Lin Xiaoyue pushed Li Xiao as she said that.

  Li Xiao frowned.

   "Your complexion doesn't look right. Did you catch the cold?" After saying that, a big hand reached out to Lin Xiaoyue's forehead.

   Lin Xiaoyue didn't hide, so she obediently let Li Xiao investigate.

   "I don't have a fever. I took a thermometer already." He said.

   "It's nothing, just take a night's rest."

   Seeing that Li Xiao didn't give up, Lin Xiaoyue said again: "I have already arranged for the breeding of pepper seedlings today. I won't go out tomorrow and rest at home."

  Li Xiao was relieved.

   "Then tomorrow, I will accompany you at home." He said.

   Lin Xiaoyue's heart warmed.

"Um."

   Then, he asked Li Xiao to tuck himself in the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep.

   was really too tired, and Lin Xiaoyue fell asleep after a while.

   Then, she also had a dream that she fell into an ice hole, and her bones were shaking with cold.

   When he woke up from the nightmare, Lin Xiaoyue seemed to still feel the chill, and unconsciously tightened the quilt.

   Only then did she realize that her hands and feet were cold, and she felt a pain in her lower abdomen.

   At the same time, there was a heat flow that flowed out from the lower body.

   This strange and familiar feeling made her think of something in an instant.

   Then, Lin Xiaoyue quickly turned over and got off the bed.

   Then I checked and I found out that I was here with my aunt.

   Feeling the pain in the lower abdomen, Lin Xiaoyue reached out and patted her forehead, I really don't know whether she should be happy or uncomfortable at this time.

  Before the end of the previous life, she also experienced dysmenorrhea. When it happened, it felt a little loveless.

   Later, after the end of the world, she awakened her supernatural powers and no longer had dysmenorrhea.
