Chapter 96 Village Banquet

When Wei Zhao went out, he saw a row of ox carts parked in the open space at the door of the house, and the men in the village were getting out of the car.

When everyone saw him coming out, they all came forward to say hello to him. Seeing that he was indeed intact and had nothing to do, they said goodbye and went home one after another.

Wei Zhao bowed to everyone and said, "I have a misunderstanding yesterday. I'm sorry for everyone. If it's too late today, everyone will go back and rest first. Tomorrow, Wei Zhao will prepare some wine and invite everyone to have a meal to express his gratitude."

Everyone said straight, "No need, it's a small effort", but they were very happy. They all heard Liu Chunsheng say this time when they entered the city. Wei Zhao brewed a kind of good wine, which was extremely rare. They couldn't afford it if they could buy it, but if they could taste it tomorrow, they would be satisfied.

After all the villagers returned, Wei Zhao, Liu Chunsheng, Zhou Jian and others returned to the courtyard.

After each of them talked about the past two days, Wei Zhao introduced the Du brothers to them again. After Li Wan'er prepared supper, she had dinner and rested.

Others did not doubt the identity of the Du brothers and regarded them as Wei Zhao's uncles.

But Su Yuancheng knew very well that they were not the young master's uncle, but there must be his reason for the young master to do this. He didn't care much, but he was still very careful about the actions of the Du brothers, fearing that they would do anything to harm the young master.

As soon as the next day, Liu Chunsheng brought several men from the village to the city to buy a lot of meat and vegetables. Dewey and Su Yuancheng quickly returned to the city to get a few jars of wine, and invited many quick-witted women in the village to prepare a banquet.

At noon, the open space in front of the Wei family was filled with tables and chairs. It was already busy with farming season. The people in the village were very leisurely and gathered here to chat. The children ran around, looking very lively.

Wei Zhaozheng sat at the same table with several older farmers in the village and talked, one of them was Xu Wu, the old village chief of Anping Village.

"Doctor Wei, you are so kind. Now everyone is idle, so it's not a problem to go there. Besides, since you came to our Anping Village, who has not received your favor? I heard that you are in trouble, who can sit at home? Now I know a misunderstanding, it's fine, but why are you still having a banquet? It's really a waste!"

Wei Zhao smiled, "Uncle Xu, you don't have to be so polite. Now I have settled in Anping Village, and I will be a member of the village in the future. I will rely on your care. So don't call me "miracle doctor" as I sound very distant."

As the head of a village, Xu Wu was not ungrateful. Hearing the closeness in Wei Zhao's words, he naturally would not recommend it out. He smiled and agreed and changed his name.

"The uncles and brothers in the village are of course talking about me, but the misunderstanding between me and my uncle made everyone frightened and ran for two days. Now I am preparing a banquet, one to celebrate my finding my relatives, and the other to shock everyone."

An old man next to him said, "We are all farmers, and the crops in the fields are nothing to do. We just think that they are going out to play and see what the city looks like."

Wei Zhao nodded, no longer politely, and said something else.

“How is the harvest this year?”

When talking about this topic, Xu Wu and others looked worried, and they were obviously very dissatisfied with the harvest.

Xu Wu sighed and said, "The rain is less this summer, and although the crops will not be completely harvested, they are not good either. After paying the tax, it is probably only enough to make a living!"

The others shook their heads and sighed.

Wei Zhao thought about it and since he came over, it seemed that there had only been one rain, and it was indeed not much rain.

"What crops have you planted?" He remembered that some crops were very drought-resistant. Although there was not much rain this year, the small river in the village did not stop flowing. It can be seen that it was not a very serious drought. It should be that some crops were not affected, right?

"Like in previous years, plant beans, sweet potatoes, wheat, sorghum, etc." An old man replied. He didn't have much sorrow on his face. After all, he had been growing for a lifetime, and had experienced years that were worse than this year. He knew that worrying was useless.

"How about the yield per mu?" Wei Zhao asked.

The old man looked at Wei Zhao and didn't understand what he asked about this, but he still replied: "Beans are better, and the yield per mu is one stone. The wheat and sorghum are affected a little, and the yield per mu is less than one stone!"

Wei Zhao quickly converted it in his mind. One stone is about 60 kilograms, and one acre of land produces more than 100 kilograms of beans and less than 100 kilograms of wheat. Is this too little?

He hurriedly asked, "How was the past years?"

The old man said: "In previous years, beans could have almost two stones, and wheat could have five stones."

Wei Zhao was not sure about the yield of beans, but he remembered that before crossing, Yuan Dada's "super hybrid rice" had reached a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu! That was sixteen stones!

It was more than ten times worse, Wei Zhao took a breath, and Dada Yuan was really worth a lot of merit!

He frowned and thought, he could not do hybrid rice, but in modern times, he had been to the countryside a lot and participated in some labor. He heard from farmers that many farming scriptures were not ignorant of farming.

However, he hasn't seen it on the spot. I don't know if the crop yield in this place is low due to the land or the unscientific planting method, so he didn't speak randomly and planned to go and see it another day.

Thinking about the potatoes with a per mu yield of 2,000 kilograms and corn with a per mu yield of 600 kilograms, Wei Zhao shook his head regretfully. If there were these two crops that were cold-resistant and drought-resistant and had high yields, why would he worry about famine?

But he has worn it for so long and has never heard of any corn and potatoes, so he can only sigh regretfully.

While talking, Liu Chunsheng invited everyone to the table to serve the food.

Anping Village is a big village with a population of several hundred, all of them, all of them, all of them are here. They don’t have many happy events a year. Even if anyone gets a wife, they just have a small meal and there is nothing good to eat.

But Wei Zhao was different. He held a banquet and bought two big fat pigs and two sheep. The villagers saw it. If there was such an opportunity to eat meat, no one could resist it.

The woman and the child were greeted by Zhuziniang, Liu Chunsheng's wife and Li Wan'er, and were eating noisily on the table on the other side.

The men had a few jars of wine. These men didn't drink much, but now they got together, and they heard that there was good wine. They couldn't wait to hold the wine bowls and wait for the wine to start.

Dewey came up with a jar of wine. He liked to drink, but he had already opened it secretly. The wine was so strong that he liked it. If Su Yuancheng hadn't said there was still in the city, he wouldn't have been willing to take it out for these people to drink.

As soon as the mud seal on the wine jar was opened, the strong aroma of wine wafted out, and the greed of the men came out. They ate meat and drank wine one by one, which was so happy.

But it was the first time they drank such a strong alcohol, and they all got drunk early.

When we have enough food and drink, the guests and guests have parted happily and it is already evening.

The two pigs were not finished. Wei Zhao ordered people to divide a piece of meat for each family and let the women from each family take them back. The children were even more happy and clapped and shouted.

One child even shouted, asking Wei Zhao to disappear again and find two relatives again, which made everyone laugh, and finally he was twisted back by his mother.

Because there was still a big deal in the capital city, early the next morning, Wei Zhao sent Su Yuancheng and others back to the capital city, and he stayed in the village to take care of Du Ziwen.

After everyone left and handed Du Ziwen over to Li Wan'er's care, he shook his sleeves and took Du Zixu and Dewey out for a walk in the village.
