Even if Mr. Xue had the awareness and idea to earn money, he didn't have any clue. After travelling for a few days, he had yet to explore the outside world. He did not know what methods he had to earn money from, so he could only put it aside for now and think of a way out.

Ye Zichen took his bag with the seeds and carried it with him the moment he walked out of the door.

Mr. Xue originally planned to take the backpack for himself, but seeing Changjian's cautious look, he was afraid that Mr. Xue would despise him for thinking that it was useless.

It was also true that for servants, only an errand boy would represent a bright future, and only then would he be entrusted with duties by his master. If there was nothing wrong, it meant that his master did not need him. If there was no need, there was naturally no need to keep him. No one would keep idle people.

Mr. Xue expressed his understanding and tried to ignore the discomfort caused by using child labour and asked Changjian to carry his backpack. Changjian seemed to be used to doing this kind of work. He seemed to be able to carry around twenty pounds easily. In fact, he seemed to be surprised. "My husband's bag is quite useful. It doesn't take much effort at all to carry it."

"This is called a backpack, it's specially used to carry items."

Carrying the seeds over, in the garden, because there were so many people, the grass and trees were basically all cleaned up, and someone was currently herding the cattle into overturning the earth.

Mr. Xue only let them clear half of the way for potatoes, peanuts, and chillies. After all, these are too few in number, so it's not easy to find land for them.

The other half was just to clear the weeds and leave the trees, which were used to grow pumpkins, sweet potatoes and cabbage. A sweet potato can grow an acre or so, and a cabbage can grow no less than this area.

"Uncle Xue!"

Seeing Mr. Xue, Ma Yuanliang ran over with beads of sweat still on his forehead: "The lime has been found, how to sprinkle it, please instruct Uncle Xue."

"Don't worry, I'll check the soil first."

Mr. Xue called Ma Yuanliang to find a hoe and dug a few hoes, some deep and some shallow. From time to time, he would twist a handful of soil or dig a hoe.

When he first started planting, Mr. Xue didn't have much money, so he had to pay for a technician. In order to save money, he did a lot of things on his own. He just couldn't do physical work. The physical work was basically hiring, but the technical director had always been him.

Any veteran or veteran technician would have the ability to distinguish whether the soil was suitable for planting based on things like testing papers. Mr. Xue had also learned these skills from others. He had accompanied others to drink wine for an entire month just to learn these skills. He had managed to get his alcohol capacity to 8 taels of silver from drinking half a catty. He had been working so hard to get his energy level up.

The soil in the garden was not bad, and there weren't many eggs. After being exposed to the sun and sprinkled with lime, it should be sufficient to meet the conditions for planting.

Mr. Xue clapped his hands and put down the hoe, "The soil is not bad, turn over the soil and dry it. Find two or three people to sprinkle the lime, I'll teach them how to do so."

"Here."

Ma Yuanliang soon picked three people, "Uncle Xue, this is Hu, this is Zhao, and this is Tiger. These three are the best farmers in our team."

Tang resident called people by their surnames, indicating their affability. There were also people like Princess Pingyang who addressed Mr. Xue directly by calling him a watch. This was a sign of their respect and affection for Mr. Xue.

Mr. Xue smiled and wanted to shake hands, but fortunately, he stopped himself in time and changed it to a cupped fist: "It's good that you know how to farm, I like to know how to farm, that's easy to understand." The three of you, please come here.

The three simple men laughed. Hu's representative from the other three came out and replied, "Do what you have to do. Clerk Xue can just tell me what to do."

"Good, straightforward!" "Then I won't be polite. Come, I'll teach you how to sprinkle lime."

Mr. Xue called the three of them to the side, squatted down, and started teaching them how to sprinkle the lime. The three of them were indeed masters of farming, Mr. Xue understood immediately.

After teaching, Ah Zhao carefully asked respectfully, "May I ask Clerk Xue, why are you sprinkling lime into the ground?"

There was nothing to hide. Mr. Xue told him straightforwardly, "The purpose of sprinkling the lime is very simple. It is to kill the toxins in the soil that could cause crop diseases and the eggs that could kill the vermin in the soil."

Of course, in terms of science, there was also the role of neutralizing soil acid-base and adding calcium element to the soil. However, since that was the case, it was necessary to explain what acid-base and calcium elements were and explain these two problems to people who did not have any chemical basis. Mr. Xue felt that it was too inconvenient, so he told them that these two advantages should be enough for them to understand the benefits.

After giving these orders, Mr. Xue called Ma Yuanliang over. "Yuanliang, in addition to tidying up the land, I also need a lot of grasses and ashes. Oh right, I also need a batch of shallow basins.

"Yes, this nephew will handle it immediately."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's not too late to go tomorrow."

"Here!"

Seeing that everyone was doing it enthusiastically, Mr. Xue felt too embarrassed to be lazy, so he got Ma Yuanliang to find him what he needed. He first processed the seeds to increase the rate of germination and reduce the disease and insect pests as much as possible.

After doing all this, it was almost time for dinner. After Mr. Xue's seed was moved over, Ma Yuanliang was going to lead some men to guard this place.

Mr. Xue can leave after he has done his work. After greeting Ma Yuanliang, Mr. Xue returned to Tingfeng Hall.

Ma Yuanliang was a good partner. He only asked Mr. Xue about his needs and never asked why. He would do whatever Mr. Xue asked and never said anything. Mr. Xue expressed his satisfaction!

"Husband, where are we going to get this dust?"

Returning to the Tingfeng Hall, the moment Mo Zhu entered the inner courtyard, he saw Mr. Xue and immediately exclaimed in surprise. Lamei wasn't surprised, she just silently went to get some tools to dust Mr. Xue off, then went to get some water to wash up. Due to the cold weather, Mr. Xue loved to drink water, so there was always hot water in the kitchen.

Mr. Xue was just a little dirt on the hem of his robe. He didn't do any heavy work, so it couldn't be considered dirty. It was just that Mo Zhu was making a fuss over nothing.

With the help of Mo Zhu, Mr. Xue took off his muddy outer robe and smiled: "This can't be considered dirty, right? Just a little bit of dust, that's all. "

However, seeing that Mo Zhu didn't agree, Mr. Xue had no choice but to let her go.

After washing up, he set up dinner, which was the lamb soup and steamed buns.

"Why is it goat soup again?"

Ever since he was transported to this world, other than the days when he could not move while lying down, the licorice root said that one could not touch meat, only giving him a little chicken soup with clean oil. Other than that, almost every ton of meat had lamb for other times.

As Mo Zhu placed the dishes on the table, he said, "Isn't it good to have meat for every meal? My husband really doesn't know how to enjoy life. "

His tone seemed to be a bit off. Mr. Xue raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything about her. He also said lazily that he wasn't his family's servant, he just "borrowed" her.

However, in Tang resident's opinion, mutton or deer meat, rabbit meat and the like that he obtained from hunting were considered meat. Chicken was not considered meat, and the people eating pork were few.
