Chapter 139 Spring Plowing

After the burning of bamboo charcoal and the collection of bamboo vinegar were on track, Ruan Qingqing and his family prepared a thank-you gift for the villagers in the surrounding area. The thank-you gift was about two kilograms of meat per family, two two-kilogram fish, and five kilograms of rice or five kilograms of white flour.

Ruan Wantie took Ruan Qingqing to deliver the goods door to door.

"Thank you uncles for helping me find the person. This small token of my respect goes a long way." Ruan Qingqing respectfully presented it with both hands.

"Oh! You are too polite, girl. We are all from the same village, it's just a matter of helping each other, it's not worth it for you to come here in person to thank me, and bring all these old things with you."

"Yes, yes. We were busy building the charcoal kiln before the Great Cold, otherwise we should have come earlier. It's just a small token of our appreciation, you must accept it! Although we are from the same village, it is a favor to help, and it is our duty not to help. You took the trouble to help find someone in such a cold day, we must remember this favor."

"You cultured people just talk differently. Okay, we'll take the stuff! If you need any help in the future, just let me know, but you don't have to carry stuff over here anymore!"

"Okay! By the way, during the spring ploughing season, uncles and aunts, don't forget to come to my house to get the pesticide. This pesticide is our latest development. It will not affect the growth of crops, but will only kill some insects to prevent them from harming the crops."

Ruan Qingqing, who was about to turn around and say goodbye, suddenly remembered this.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"It's okay. Uncles, I won't bullshit you. In the first year, we will provide it to everyone for free so that everyone can see the effect. In the second year, we will charge for it. Of course, since we are from the same village, we won't sell it at a high price. We will just make a profit." Ruan Qingqing said with a smile.

"You have to collect some money. You need money to make these."

It took Ruan Qingqing ten days to deliver all the gifts of thanks, and the money in the family was dwindling at a noticeable rate. But they felt at ease.

At the end of the year, Zaoziling had another heavy snowfall. As the saying goes, "If you cover your wheat with three layers of quilts in winter, you will sleep on steamed buns next year." The faces of the villagers were full of smiles, and next year's wheat will have another bumper harvest.

After the Lantern Festival and the spring rain, spring ploughing will begin.

Ruan Qingqing led the family servants and Fu Yuanhao and others to go to the fields to apply fertilizer to the wheat.

The fertilizers are all tread manure from stables and cow pens, and poultry manure mixed with wood ash from chicken coops and duck houses.

It's okay for Liu Yi and others who are used to doing it.

Fu Yuanhao, Yuan Pingzhang, Wang Sibo, Shen Zhizui, Zhang Qiuming and Zhao Zhen were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, pinching their noses with one hand and pressing the load on their shoulders with the other. Even so, they were not only swaying, but the load was also spinning in the air.

"Hey!"

After finally stabilizing the load, they saw that the ground was dirty. They all frowned and walked on tiptoe in the fields.

Ruan Qingqing's face turned dark when she saw this.

Six grown men were working so hard that they seemed as delicate as young ladies who had never done any housework.

"Change your clothes into shorts in the afternoon and don't borrow from the villagers. Work like a working man! Although these fertilizers smell bad, they are the key to increasing crop yields. If you dare to scatter or throw them away, I will hold you accountable!" Ruan Qingqing warned viciously.

"Girl, why are you so fierce? This is the first time we have done this kind of work since we were born. Isn't it normal to make some mistakes?"

Zhao Zhen immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

Ruan Qingqing smiled grimly, "You may not understand me, but when I get angry, I will throw knives. People nicknamed me 'Ruan Handao'. If you dare to disobey me, be prepared to get hurt!"

"Who gives you the courage to hurt an official of the imperial court?" Shen Zhizui rolled his eyes.

"If I hadn't pleaded for you, you would have been wandering in Hades' palace right now! You'd better work hard and finish your corresponding time!"

Everyone fell silent instantly. Theoretically, it was indeed this fierce little girl who saved their lives.

It took only two days to complete the top dressing of the wheat field.

Even so, Fu Yuanhao and others were extremely tired. As soon as they finished work in the evening, they immediately called their maids and servants to help them massage their shoulders and waists.

"Damn it, this is not a job for a human being! If I had known it would be like this, I would rather be beaten with fifty sticks! As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one." Shen Zhi was so drunk that he cursed.

Ruan Qingqing glanced at him coldly, "If you get 50 lashes, you'll be crippled even if you don't die. If you don't stay in bed for a year or two, you won't get better, right?

At most, I'm just making your body sore, but I haven't hurt any of your bones. Besides, if you hold on for ten days or so, you won't be so tired! You really don't know how lucky you are!"

"You!" Shen Zhi was so drunk that he was fuming, but he couldn't refute.

Fu Yuanhao actually took Ruan Qingqing's words to heart.

On the third day, it’s time to turn the soil.

Before they had worked for an hour, screams were heard from the six delicate and tender young men.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Why is there a big blister on my hand?" Wang Sibo cried the most miserably, as if his parents had died.

Ruan Qingqing put down the hoe in her hand, and casually peeled out a thorn from the thorn bush next to her. She immediately pulled out Wang Sibo's hand, poked it quickly with the thorn, and squeezed her hand, and the water in the bubble flowed out.

"Let's get to work!" Ruan Qingqing said calmly.

"You...you...have you disinfected that thorn? Let me tell you, I am a precious body. How can a country creature like this desecrate me?" Wang Sibo pointed at Ruan Qingqing with his trembling hand without blisters.

"I'm sorry, I just picked some thorns. I don't have any silver needles to disinfect you. It's just like that in the countryside, we pick whatever we can find."

"You! So vulgar, so vulgar!" Wang Sibo was so angry that his face turned pale.

"Since you have been punished to work in the fields, throw away your noble young master's attitude! When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I don't need to tell you what it means to do as the Romans do. Does anyone else have blisters on their hands?"

"Miss Ruan, let me do it myself!" Fu Yuanhao reached out to stab Ruan Qingqing.

After Ruan Qingqing handed him the thorn, she instructed: "Just pop the bubble!"

Fu Yuanhao nodded at her and then picked some tea for himself.

Shen Zhizui was very calm about the blisters on his hands because he had practiced martial arts before. After taking the thorn from Fu Yuanhao, he quickly pricked it. Zhang Qiuming was not to be outdone, he took the thorn from Shen Zhizui and quickly pricked it.

Zhao Zhen and Yuan Pingzhang felt a chill in their hearts as they looked at the thorns that had been used several times.

In the blink of an eye, two fresh thorns appeared in front of their eyes.

"Hurry up and pick it up, and get to work! Grown men are even more slow-witted than girls!" Ruan Qingqing urged while rolling her eyes.

Yuan Pingzhang and Zhao Zhen saw that they had turned over a small piece of land in front of them, and then looked at Ruan Qingqing who was turning over the land that was almost endless, and they felt a sudden shock in their hearts.

Isn't it that he, a grown man, is more nagging than a girl?

Fu Yuanhao and others were also hit hard.

Although this little girl in front of me looks thin and weak, she can only be described as fierce when she works.

I heard she is only about fifteen years old!

Thinking of this, they felt very uncomfortable. Where did they get the courage to pick a fight with this person in the first place?

Ignorance really kills people!
