Chapter 556 Great Contribution
Zhou Guo rolled his eyes, "How do you know that's the eldest prince? Has anyone seen him?"
Zhou Dacang said: "We heard that the informant risked his life to bring back the news. We actually didn't think that this was the eldest prince. They were not stupid. They split into several groups and went in different directions, but the Hu people recognized him at a glance. They thought that since they were here, no matter whether he was the eldest prince or not, no one could be let go!"
"After he died, we searched him and found the seal of the eldest prince. His appearance matched his. There were three black moles on his left ear and the totem of their tribe on his chest. It was confirmed to be the eldest prince without a doubt."
Zhou Guo and the old man opened their mouths wide when they heard this. They didn't expect that he would actually kill the next king of the Wala tribe this time!
Zhou Dacang continued, "I have to thank you for the crossbow you gave me this time. It was thanks to it that we were able to kill the eldest prince and his entourage. The men around him were all some of the best fighters in the Hu people. They were not only extremely strong, but also highly skilled in martial arts. They were also determined to die. We first used the crossbow to kill them by surprise, and that's how we were able to fight them. The eldest prince was even more valiant, and I couldn't defeat him at all. The last crossbow arrow pierced his chest, and I was also hit by an arrow. None of the 200 men we brought with us were left standing, and all of them were seriously injured."
The battle was extremely brutal, but fortunately he survived.
Zhou Guo pondered and said, "In that case, you don't have to rush back to the camp. Take good care of your injuries. When you are fully recovered, I will let the master teach you a few moves."
The old man glared, "I have nothing to teach him. I have taught him everything I can. The battlefield is different from our one-on-one fight. Although his martial arts are not as good as yours now, if you were on the battlefield, you might be worse than him."
"Really?" Zhou Guo looked him up and down suspiciously. She had practiced every day for the past two years, except for a short while in the morning. She couldn't help but say, "Then, little uncle, get well soon. I'll fight you again when you get better."
Zhou Dacang smiled and nodded, "I really want to fight with you."
……
Zhou Dacang's condition was getting better every day. At first, he could only walk with the help of the wall and could not sit for long. Later, he gradually did not need to hold on to the wall anymore and could slowly walk in the yard.
The Li family members were busy going to the farm every day, making compost, digging soil and managing wooden stakes, and they had no time to think about anything else.
Zhou Guo no longer needed to stay at home all day, so she called Li and the others back to look after the crops and went to the mountains to watch over them. It was a critical time, not long after the seeds were planted. In order to get a better yield and have more crops survive, she divided the land into several pieces and planned to do an experiment.
But before she could go to the mountains, Wu Jiang came to her worriedly and told her that something white had appeared in the ground and they didn't know what it was. He guessed that the fungus might have gone moldy and all their efforts for so long would be in vain.
Zhou Guo was startled, changed his clothes and followed him.
At first glance, you can't see it. But when you squat down and take a closer look, you find that there is indeed a layer of white substance on the surface of the soil. She grinned and said, "This is fungus frost. Our first step is successful."
Wu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Because of these things, he had not dared to be careless at all these days. He wanted to move the bed over and take care of it as if it were his own eye.
Zhou Guo looked at other areas and found that the density of frost was different, some were more and some were less.
She recorded them one by one in a book. The moisture and foundation management of these lands were slightly different.
There are a few fields that haven't seen any frost yet, I'm afraid the moisture content is a little low.
It has been eight or nine days since the seeds were planted. Zhou Guo said to Wu Jiang, "It's time to put out the nutrient pellets. Are you ready?"
Wu Jiang said: "It's ready as you ordered. We can go down anytime."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Let's get started."
She spends most of the day on the farm.
The first batch of fertilizer has been fermented. Although its fertility is not the best, it can be used.
She has bought a shop in the county town, planning to sell some farm groceries, and when the time is right, she will also promote her own fertilizer.
After Zhou Dacang was able to leave the yard slowly, he, accompanied by Zhou Gu, came to the farm slowly, taking a rest every three steps. The first person he saw was Fei Zhuang.
Seeing the scale of Feizhuang and the women and children busying around the village, they were speechless for a moment.
Are these all his?
Zhou Gu took him around the farm, and when the servants heard that he was the third master of the Zhou family who was an official in the army, they dropped their work and came up to kowtow to him.
Zhou Dacang looked at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground and respectfully calling him the Third Master, and felt inexplicably amused. Is he also a master?
He waved his hand and asked them to get up. Everyone stood up and said, "If you don't have any instructions, Third Master, we will go down and get busy."
Zhou Dacang nodded as if he was sleepwalking, "Go get busy."
Finish turning around Zhuangzi.
Zhou Gu said, "Uncle, do you want to take a rest? Let's go to the mountain tomorrow. You have nothing to do at home anyway, so you can come every day in the future."
Zhou Dacang refused and waved his hand, saying, "Go up, I want to go and take a look."
When he saw the cleared land in the mountains and the dead trees all over the mountains, his mouth opened wide. He knew that his family had made a lot of money, which was no longer the same as in previous years. But was his family so rich now?
There are more than thirty or forty servants, and two such huge mountains. Are they all his?
"Can the family support so many people?"
Zhou Gu laughed, "Of course we can afford it, uncle, you don't know how much money we have made from the pine mushrooms in the mountains in the past two years? We have made this much this year, right?"
Show him a hand gesture.
Zhou Dacang stared at the gesture, "... Hundred?"
Zhou Gu said, "What do you mean by a hundred? A hundred is not considered making money. If Uncle Wang and the others pick up more, they can make that much in two or three years. It's a thousand!"
Zhou Dacang's eyes widened, "Thousand? Six thousand?"
He will never be able to earn back the salary that is paid from time to time in his entire lifetime!
After a long while, he pointed at the wood and asked, "What are you doing? What are those plots of land in the mountains used for?"
Zhou Gu shook his head and said, "I don't know what that land over there is."
Seeing Zhou Dacang staring, he quickly said, "Except for Guoguo and Mr., no one in the family knows what is planted in that field. Wu Jiang doesn't know even though he is busy all day."
Zhou Dacang then nodded. That’s right. If all the servants knew about it, but he, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, didn’t know, then what would he do?
Zhou Gu added: "As for these woods, they are used to grow small flower mushrooms."
"Little flower mushrooms?" Zhou Dacang couldn't believe it. "How can little flower mushrooms be grown like this? What do you use as seeds?"
Zhou Gu had no idea. "I don't know. The seeds were given to me by Guoguo. Some were dug from the mountains, and some seemed to be grown by her herself. She didn't know if it would work, so she just said to give it a try. If it works, we will have our own small flower mushrooms next spring."
