MTL - I Love Farming-Chapter 50 What ghost world?
In the seventh year of Cui Qichao's arrival in Northumberland, he looked around. There were neat wooden houses or stone houses in the manor house, and thatched house could never be seen.
The rich peasant circled a small yard as a vegetable and flower garden, imitating the master's other courtyard. The barn was cleaned, just like their faces. Water conservancy projects not only make it difficult to water the arable land, people no longer need to worry about domestic water
At present, the average per mu yield of all grain crops in Northumberland has reached more than 600 kilograms, which is close to 700 kilograms. Due to the continuous increase of cattle, horses and tools, under the condition of fine farming, the labor force of a family of three can Plant six acres of land.
In addition, sugar beet, cotton, grapes and other cash crops have a stable output, which brings a lot of income to farmers in Northumberland every year. The cotton for personal use is enough for everyone to change into a quilt and cover with a quilt in winter.
Every half a month, a rally is held on the square of the manor, and even the neighbouring territories also come to participate. It seems like a small trading point like the parish trade association. The serfs who have surplus grain on hand can afford bread and wheat porridge, and can change to other foods. Unlike in the past, women who have children have a bite to eat.
A few years ago, the captives who left Northumberland quickly spread the farming methods here, so it was not only Northumberland that increased yields. At least now in the entire south, no trace of feces can be seen on the streets. .
In outside discussions, Northumberland seems to be the richest place in the south. Some even say that it would be better to be a serf in Northumberland than to be a poor little lord. Not to mention rich farmers, some rich farmers in Northumberland will spend part of their land to invite people to cultivate.
The Baron Cat Catcher said that he would not consider accepting more followers for a few years, so he must first strive to improve the current level (although he does not know how to improve it), and some people even lived or stole school in order to come to Northumberland. The farming techniques here were deliberately attacked and then captured as captives.
Being inseparable from Northumberland, the archbishop has also skyrocketed in the church because he has mastered a large number of brown sugar businesses and trade points. In return, he also took great care of Northumberland and repeatedly introduced objects to Cui Qichao, but all were rejected by Cui Qichao.
Because Northumberland's fame has grown, this incident has spread to the outside. Everyone suspects that there is something hidden about Baron Northumberland. No wonder he likes cat abuse so much.
In addition, Baron Northumberland is really not bad. He is wealthy, so he brings the rich people together, and gives them relief. The people who live here have to pay the least taxes.
...
"Lily, isn't that Lily?"
"Why is she out of the Zhuang Yuan? Is she going home?"
"Lily is terrible now ..."
Amazing, not because Lily works in the lord's kitchen that everyone admires, but also because she is so favored by the lord. Everyone remembers that Lily was almost seduced by the devil at first. Now, Lily is a maid whom the lord trusts very much and is allowed to abuse the cat with the lord.
Only these two can be so vicious that even the black cat is scared, and the devil dare not possess it. So every time a black cat was caught in the realm, he reported it to the lord and handed it to Lily, even the priest agreed. Speaking of priests, William, the head of the Northumberland Church, had already been promoted, but the relationship between the priest and the baron was still so close, the place was wealthy, the people were educated, and the work of the priest was extremely easy.
It was winter, and Lily was wrapped in a cotton coat with beautiful red and yellow flowers on it. The bitter sassafras tree brought back by the trade team a few years ago has grown. In addition to being able to kill insects, the fruit has become a natural coloring matter. This is a flower dyed by Lily himself.
She has become a beautiful girl, and walked along, attracting people's attention.
Lili did go to the cottage to go home. Today, her sister gave birth to a child, so she rarely went back to visit.
Time dilutes the resentment. Although Lili still complains about her parents' indifference, she will go back several times a year. When she walked to the door, she heard the movement inside and stopped to listen quietly.
This is Sister Lily's house, but her parents are there, and it seems that there are others.
"Lily is also so big this year. It is definitely indispensable to work in the lord's kitchen. However, my nephew is also very good. I have a job and a craftsman in the cloth shop. You marry my nephew to my nephew, he The family is willing to send you a small calf! After that, it ’s farming cattle. Is n’t your young son going to get married, it ’s better to have a farming cattle, and solve the marriage of the two children at once ... ”
When Lili heard the calf, her face was a bit ugly. She thought that every winter in the past, her mother sighed and took care of the cattle. She and the cow were both sick, and the mother ignored her. When she couldn't do more heavy work, the only thing she could do was to feed the cows water.
Lily immersed in her memories, she couldn't help but squeeze her hands.
At this time, Lili's father said, "Well, you think I don't know. Your nephew is delicious and lazy, and the relationship was only entered into the cloth shop. I was scolded by the supervisor every day, maybe I was kicked out. I won't My daughter marries, and cattle farming is amazing. If my daughter gets married, I will give her all her sheep. "
"Uh, huh, you ca n’t say that. My nephew is studying hard at the cloth workshop. Lily does n’t come back very much. You say that, it ’s not actually that you ca n’t decide on Lily. too much."
Lily slowly returned to her thoughts, and suddenly thought that it was no longer the past, that the days were no longer so hard, and that her father was speaking with more confidence, and her mood was very complicated. She gradually understood what the lord lord said before. Maybe she still couldn't forgive, but she was relieved.
"Sister, I'm here." Lili pretended not to hear, and entered the room. "Sister, I brought you eggs."
Lily's sister was lying on the bed with her parents and in-laws by her side. It seemed that the person who had advised Lily's parents before was Lily's husband's parent.
They saw Lily look expressionless, thinking that Lily didn't hear what she said before, and they all shivered.
Lili's parents saw her a little bit embarrassed. After all, Lily was very distant to them in the past few years, but she didn't feel much at first, but since the days in the family were getting better, she felt more guilty, and both came forward and asked for warmth.
Lili's sister was holding that basket of eggs, and there was no way in Lili's memory to see the eyes of the eggs become green when they were young. At that time, all the food must be eaten by the strong labor of the family, and their little girl could only eat the leftovers.
"What do you do with eggs? Eat more of yourself. The eggs laid by the hens in my house have been fed to me recently." My sister had a good relationship with her, and she politely complained. Isn't cotton good? I can make clothes for my son like you with flowers on it. "
"No, I have to keep the cloth for later use. The master said, find me a good husband." Lili didn't say it on purpose, but Cui Qichao really mentioned, "You have a smile with eggs. I wanted to sell it for sugar. "
All the food and clothing are sent down, and the baron never treats his servants. Even because everyone is nearby, many times there are good and fresh things, they try it first, and then push it to all Northumberland.
After visiting her sister's house for a while, Lily went back with her basket.
Along the way, you can see the gardens of everyone's homes, including kale, parsnip, pumpkin, cucumber, and blueberries, oranges, sweet cherries, chestnuts, etc.
Northumberland's trade team will go around elsewhere every so often. At the farthest end, it will reach the end of the north to bring back a variety of fruit and vegetable seeds, which will be screened by the Lord Lord and spread throughout the estate.
At the autumn harvest, on the day of the harvest festival, the lord feasts, everyone will also move their own fruits and vegetables to the grassland where the banquet is held, which is bigger than anyone ’s family, and there are some games such as pumpkins and chestnut peeling, and festival activities More than a year is more than a dinner party, but a full-day celebration, which must be carnival until night.
Even if Lily is no longer a child, there are still some hopes for the coming of the harvest festival. The children in the territory even regard this day as the most anticipated season.
Newcomers to Northumberland will always be amazed by the joyful atmosphere of this day. After a few years, the harvest festival has also become a symbol of Northumberland. Although harvest days and banquets are customary everywhere, Northumberland's harvest day is truly a festival.
On the way back, Lily also saw a few four or five-year-old children squatting down the road to catch field mice, their bodies were much stronger than those of Lily's peers when they were young. Because they are lucky, they haven't experienced a few days and nights when they can only have a handful of beans and clear water. Parents work harder and still have sugar to eat, even if they do not work hard, they will not starve to death under the control of Zhuangtou.
Lili remembers that at her age, she had to feed pigs, cook beans, and go to the field to pick up wheat ...
After a while, she returned to her feet and walked lightly across the stone path.
Back in the yard, walking through the small courtyard where flowers bloomed, many people greeted her, and she responded one by one. When she arrived at the back of the lord's courtyard, you can see Lance lying on the ground.
"Lance, you can't get up yet, your clothes are dirty." Lily hurriedly pulled Lance up. The fourteen-year-old child already looks like an adult. The thick light blond hair when he was a child is now darkened. Many, but the eyes are still blue and blue. The white skin has been playing outside for a long time and has become a healthy wheat color. They eat well, have tall heads, and have long legs like his father's. Like the lord lord.
"Sister Lily, I'm watching the growth of this carrot. I used different fats in this row of carrots." Lance also likes the master in hobby, or the master teaches well, he will usually study Farming methods, but compared with the master, this young guy is not too interested in horse riding and sword use, and always has good results when hunting.
"That can't be so casual, you look at this." Lili took a few photos of him, "Master, after watching the crop, why is he clean on his body?"
Lance smirked. "I haven't learned home yet."
Lili pulled some garlic back to the kitchen. Today, I ’m going to make the garlic-fried mushrooms for the master, chop the garlic, and sauté the olive oil. Then, fry the mushrooms, sprinkle some salt, and fry until the mushrooms are golden brown. Add some white rice porridge.
Every year Raymond always goes back to exchange some rice, and the master likes it.
Holding garlic-fried mushrooms and white rice porridge, I brought the rice directly to the room of the master. In recent days, the master did not dine with everyone, but stayed in the room alone, as if writing something.
When Lily went outside the room, she heard that the master seemed to be talking to Reims, something like "the church must be treated with caution", and she wondered, isn't the church the master's backer, why should you be cautious.
But Lili didn't care that much, knocked on the door and helped the master to clean up the paper on the table. Lili didn't know the characters, but there were pictures besides the characters on the paper. It seemed that they were all farm tools and plants. . She speculated that this might be a farmer's book.
Sure enough, the master said to Lance: "In addition to what I just said, this is some of the farming knowledge I wrote down. In the future, Northumberland can use it. There are several plants you can pay attention to and get back to cultivate."
Lance's eyes were red. "Uncle, why do you say that, are you going far?"
Lili was startled. "Master wants to travel? What about Xiaobai?"
Her first reaction was actually this. Without Master, wouldn't she have asked her to feed this hard-to-wait Master.
Xiaobai heard what Lily said, jumped off the wooden board fixed on the wall, fell on the old man's leg, and meowed twice.
Cui Qichao touched Xiaobai's head, "Xiaobai will go with me. Lance, I should go to another continent this time. I do n’t know how long I will be back, or I may even settle down or die there. I The parties have been contacted. I have no wife and children and you will be my heir. "
The live broadcast time was about to end, and Cui Qichao began to say goodbye. A few years ago, he started thinking about what to do with Northumberland when he left. Now Northumberland is thriving, but as long as they change to a greedy lord, they will fall back into their past difficulties even if the output of grain is even higher.
The first time he saw Lance, Cui Qichao kept his heart. The child had a good heart and was related to him, so he left Lance to observe. After thinking that Lance was a moldable talent, he also deliberately guided his thinking. Although Lance is still young, Cui Qichao believes that this child can manage Northumberland in the future.
The news was too sudden for Lance and Lily. Lily cried and said, "Why are you going to another continent, sir? It is too dangerous to take a boat, and what do we do ... You said you would find me a husband. . "
Lance was also shocked. When he thought of coming to Northumberland, his uncle took care of himself and taught him everywhere. He even felt that this decision had been made from the beginning. "Uncle, are you ... going back to the East?" ? "
He thought that his uncle had lived on the eastern continent for a long time. Maybe he liked it more, so he would go back sooner or later.
"It's almost." Cui Qichao touched their heads and said, "Well, don't cry, there are gatherings in life, I will start when Lily finishes the wedding."
The second farewell, Cui Qichao is still a bit reluctant. These data are too real. He is so real that he even has to interfere with the operation of this world and this territory, because he can't rest assured.
"Having together means that we can meet again in the future?" Lance asked with red eyes.
"... Maybe." Cui Qichao said suddenly. Maybe one day, he can really go back and take a look at the students, leaders, and piglets that he himself fed.
In the spring of the eighth year, after Lily got married, Cui Qichao left the Northumberland for the last time to instruct everyone to cultivate, and the last picture in her memory was a group of leaders with long eyes. He felt very relieved, because the leaders were all fat ...
.
"Mr. Cui? Mr. Cui?"
Lin Lin's voice appeared in her ear and gradually pulled Cui Qichao back to the real world. She was like a mark, representing the truth. Cui Qichao broke away from the parting mood, opened her eyes, and just about to speak, saw Lin Lin already handed a cup of warm water.
"Thank you." Cui Qichao took a big sip, this time he has been in the virtual plane for a longer time, for eight years, and nearly three months have passed in reality.
Despite the machine maintenance, Cui Qichao still had a stiff body. He stood up and moved his hands and feet.
Lin Lin congratulated beside him, "Mr. Cui's ratings on the male frequency are also very good, and the program has been quite successful, especially in our affiliated forums. There have been many discussions in the past few months, and many people have sent gifts. "
These gifts were temporarily placed in Lin Lin's office, because Cui Qichao's dormitory in ljj's company had all been planted with plants, and there was no place for them.
At first glance, Cui Qichao's presents are really strange. There are creative chocolates with "Golden Gar" on the packaging bags, and gimmicks tied with bows. Nowadays, no one really uses gimmicks. This one is definitely customized. And there are those who sent big red banners with the words: "Dark Shennong, infinite merit".
Cui Qichao always felt weird and didn't know what these audiences thought. It seemed like there were some stalks he didn't know.
"There are also flower baskets, some withered, but I took a picture." Lin Lin pointed him to him.
At a glance, Cui Qichao had words on the flower baskets, with different tones, and even scolded him, "The king **** Cui Qichao has the ability to plant a lifetime."
Of course, this is a very small number, and most of the tone is still weird and weird, such as "Chongyao Cui" and the like.
"This, this ... Oh, there are always some viewers who are more excited." Lin Lin said, "I let people deal with this."
"It's okay." Cui Qichao didn't care. For him, it didn't matter what the audience thought. He didn't even watch the barrage when he came out last time.
However, now that there are even flower baskets and gifts, he is probably really as popular as Lin Lin said.
"Mr. Cui." Lin Lin smiled. "Yes, you also recorded the show twice. The popularity is at the forefront, but the communication with the audience is relatively small. I think, can I have a live broadcast?"
"This does not seem to be an obligation in the contract." Cui Qichao said lightly.
"Yes, I know it is not, this is our extra request." Lin Lin immediately said, "But I am very sincere and I hope you can agree. There are sponsors for this event. If you are willing to attend ..."
She was talking and there was no sound, because Cui Qichao's expression was extremely cold.
In fact, Lin Lin had been mentally prepared, but the company asked her to talk. She had to give it a try. "Well, it looks like you won't agree."
"I'm very sorry, I just want to take a good rest now." Cui Qichao said, "By the way, I'll debug the irrigation system in my room." Before leaving, he set up automatic watering and lighting programs for the crops in the room, but the program was dead The plant is alive, he has to look at the growth and adjust it according to specific data.
Lin Lin regretfully said, "Well, after you have a good rest, I will talk to you about the next show."
"Thank you very much." Cui Qichao said goodbye to Lin Lin, returned to his dormitory, and poured water manually. Compared to machinery, he liked this kind of feeling of being in contact with crops by himself, whether he could do it himself or himself.
Lying on the bed, Cui Qichao tossed and turned for a while, instead of sleeping, he got up and looked for information based on keywords: animal husbandry.
...
After a day of rest, Cui Qichao met Lin Lin's office.
Lin Lin held a stack of information in her hand, and her expression was a bit unnatural. "Mr. Cui, the next plane is elected by the company. I mean, it includes all employees. This is also a value for you."
"Really? Since the ballot, why not openly?" Cui Qichao asked casually.
"Ah, this ..." Lin Lin said awkwardly, "You don't know how skinny your audience is, they may not decide what kind of attributes you will vote for."
"Leather?" Cui Qichao hadn't seen the barrage. How could he know that his audience was crazy. "This is also my protection. What is the background of the next world era?"
"About the 23rd century, human beings have entered the pre-interstellar era ..." Lin Lin introduced Cui Qichao to the relevant background and technological level. I don't know why, her expression always faintly shows some weirdness.
"By the way, are you still investigating Xiaobai's question?" Cui Qichao asked.
"No, in fact, I also suggest that you continue to take it to the live broadcast this time so that we can continue to observe." Speaking of this, Lin Lin was a bit puzzled, their company's server pumping is pumping, how to check this is not clear.
Cui Qichao nodded, thinking of Xiaobai's treatment in the Middle Ages, and smiled, "As long as the world in which I live is not malicious to cats-right, is there a special label?"
For example, in the youth campus of the first plane, he was trapped in the campus, and he must be the lord of the second plane.
"This ..." Lin Lin swallowed and said, "In fact, a considerable part of the data on the next plane is also original, and the full name is Interstellar Abo ..."
Cui Qichao's faint smile on the face of Xiaobai had not yet converged, and she had a little doubt, "What's that?"
The author has something to say: Thank you for your overlord ticket:
