The yard was filled with loud noises. Li Da was really happy and laughed non-stop.

　　Li Zhouzhou whispered to his husband in the kitchen: “I’ve never seen Dad so happy.”

　　”Of course Dad is happy that there is plenty of food.” said Gu Zhao.

　　Li Zhouzhou smiled happily, “Not entirely.” But he didn’t explain it clearly.

　　The Li family married a scholar as a son-in-law. Although Gu Zhao had invented the stove and his reputation in the village was slightly better, that was only what the women said. The men still looked down on Gu Zhao, thinking that he did the work that other people in the house did, and that he was not like a man and was a drag on the men.

　　He also said that Gu Zhao didn’t have the strength to go to the fields.

　　Li Da knew all these rumors, but he didn’t say them, and occasionally made a joke, asking, “Does your son-in-law mow half an acre a day? What will you do with him when you are old and can’t do it anymore?”

　　It is impossible for Li Da to call him if he hears something he doesn’t like. What would that mean? Would he still live in the village?

　　But now it’s different. He feels proud. Gu Zhao has brought honor to him and the Li family.

　　His family did not waste the eighteen taels of silver in vain. It is not that Zhou Zhou in his family is unwanted and only the thin ones are picked.

　　”Fertilizer, haven’t I told you before? The fertilizer my son-in-law Zhao’er figured out after reading books is effective, right? When I was applying fertilizer to the fields, every household in the village could see it. You asked me and I told you, I didn’t hide anything…” Li Da’s voice shook the sky with joy.

　　Zhaoer who was called out in the room: …

　　A smile appeared on his face.

　　Dad is pretty cute. It’s the highlight moment for middle-aged men. He has face.

　　Several people outside, including the village chief, now put down their faces and asked Li Da in a nice voice to give more details. Some even admitted that they were wrong at the beginning and had misjudged him. They praised Li Da and Gu Zhao again and again, even praising Li Zhouzhou – he was good at choosing a son-in-law and had a good eye.

　　”The brains of educated people are smarter and more useful than ours!”

　　After receiving the compliment, Li Da’s anger disappeared, and he spoke about the “fertilizer experience” in a relaxed manner.

　　”That’s it? So simple? And it doesn’t cost anything?”

　　Li Da: “What’s the cost? Don’t you have urine? Don’t you have pig manure or chicken manure? Don’t burn the wheat stalks harvested from the fields this year. You can use them as fertilizer next year—”

　　Before he could finish his words, someone slapped his thigh with a look of pain on his face, “Oh my god, my wife has been cooking with nothing but wheat stalks lately, I have to go back quickly——”

　　”What are you doing? It’s past dinner time. There’s no rush.” ​​Li Da hadn’t finished speaking yet, so how could he let him go? He called him back to continue.

　　The village chief was supposed to go to another house after registering the Li family, but he didn’t leave.

　　Because after Li Da finished speaking, Gu Zhao came out. The village chief and his men looked at Gu Zhao as if he were the god of literature descending to earth. For farmers, being able to increase the harvest in the fields was much better than being a scholar who could only write articles but could not understand them.

　　Gu Zhao called them uncles and then there was another thunder.

　　”Now that the rice has been planted, when I was thinking about fertilizer in winter, I first thought of a fertilizer suitable for paddy fields. However, this costs money. At that time, my family was in a tight spot, so I focused on the wheat first.”

　　When these words were spoken, several people were shocked at the same time. It was the village chief who reacted first. He asked Gu Zhao to sit down and explain slowly how to do it, where to spend the money, and whether the harvest could be doubled like wheat.

　　Li Zhouzhou served tea and asked the uncles to sit down and talk slowly.

　　He said, last time he came across stone powder, his husband asked for the address but never went to buy it. It turns out it is here. If everyone in the village buys it together, wouldn’t it be much cheaper?

　　Gu Zhaosan said, “I figured out this method from a book, but I haven’t tried it yet. It’s just like the wheat in my family. I didn’t expect to have such a good harvest at the beginning. It was only because Dad and Zhou Zhou were not afraid of hard work and trusted me that I was able to do it.”

　　”I can’t guarantee that the harvest will double.”

　　”The money is for buying stone powder. I found out that a bag of half a stone is 230 coins. If you buy more, it will definitely be cheaper. There is no rush. I will process it after I buy it – that is, I will do some processing.”

　　Gu Zhao stood up and bowed to the village chief in a scholarly manner. The village chief was also very proud of being treated with respect by a scholar, and his tone became better, allowing Gu Zhao to speak his mind.
