Chapter 20

Water Soul Fruit!
The water soul fruit grows on the water soul fruit tree.

The water soul fruit tree looks a bit like a mangrove bush.A single seed can grow into a large clump of small trees.Small trees can grow to a height a little above the knee.When the fruit is grown, the crown of the tree is full of small black fruits like small grapes.

Although the fruit is only the size of a longan grape, it is heavy.

Twelve or thirteen small fruits weigh a pound.

After all the fruits were picked, the water soul tree immediately withered into ashes and fell into the soil to nourish the earth.

A Shuicun fruit tree can pick more than 100 small fruits, that is, ten catties of fruit.

The water soul trees take up space and need a large distance, otherwise they will grow together and absorb each other, and there will be more than 120 trees per mu. There are exactly [-] trees in [-] mu of land.

One grain costs 200 coppers, and 720 seeds cost [-] taels in total.

The seeds are full and shiny, and they are top grade at first sight.

Only a small bag of seeds was used to plant 120 mu of new herbs.

It took less than a day for the long-term workers at home to complete the planting.

In addition to the newly planted water soul fruit at home, the Gourd Valley also has new changes this year. Chu Dashan also asked the long-term workers to open a [-]-mu sloping land to plant topaz ginseng.The seeds of grass ginseng are still provided by the enthusiastic shopkeeper Guo.

They also sold [-] acres of high-quality millet seeds to Chu Dashan at a low price.

I heard it's called rouge yellow!It is a kind of millet that is golden yellow when it is planted, but when it is boiled, it can be seen that light red fine lines appear on the periphery of the millet.

Five hundred acres of seeds only cost one or two silver coins.

Chu Dashan was happy to accept it at that time.

After planting Huangyu grass ginseng, Chu Dashan purchased [-] chickens, ducks and geese cubs each according to the sixth uncle's suggestion, and [-] large and small sheep rushed into the shed.

There are also two big cows and a small calf in the barn.This is a second year student last year.

Sixth Uncle said to raise less at the beginning to get used to it.

Chu Dashan felt that it was right, and did everything according to Uncle Six's advice.Build whatever you want to build, and buy whatever utensils you want to buy.The sixth uncle was very satisfied with Chu Dashan's attitude of valuing him, and he said that it is comfortable to work for Chu Dashan!
At first, he hesitated for a while, worried that he and Chu Dashan were of the same clan. If there was a conflict at that time, wouldn't he want to show a joke to the whole village?

Fortunately, he hesitated, but decided to come.

The owner of Chu Dashan far exceeded his expectations.

Since people valued him so much, he couldn't help but say that when Uncle Six moved here, he brought his wife and three single young sons with him.

The sons who are dragged down by their families did not bring any of them!Unless there are too many livestock herds in the future and they are really too busy, Uncle Six plans to call them.

The treatment given by Chu Dashan is good. The sixth uncle himself pays 100 taels a year, and the sons he brings are all [-] taels a year.

Compared with the long-term workers who have recently come here with their luggage, this salary is not too good.

And he also let his own family raise livestock, not to mention that other purple herbs are not money?No one even mentioned to him how much fodder it takes to raise livestock a year.

Livestock entered the shed, and grass farming became a daily routine.Chu Dashan mentioned it to Uncle Six, first planting [-] acres of purple herbs.

Next year there is a need to continue more.In fact, according to Uncle Six, there will be no need for a variety of varieties next year. Purple vanilla has strong reproductive capacity and is abundant. With such a small amount of poultry, there is no problem with the livestock being full.

In addition to the [-] acres of purple vanilla, the remaining [-] acres of land was planted with rouge yellow millet that Chu Dashanxin obtained from the shopkeeper Guo.

Chu Dashan has always thought that the shopkeeper Guo is a very interesting person, and he especially likes to fool himself into growing some exotic herbs and other crops.Let's talk about millet. There are several kinds of grains in the world, and there are all kinds of grades.

But the shopkeeper Guo recommended him to grow rouge yellow. When this little thing was cooked, it actually showed red fine lines, which almost shocked his chin. Is it true?Chu Dashan still didn't know that when the millet matured, something even more shocking would appear.

Uncle Six nodded in agreement.In any case, the more food you have, the more confident you will be.Otherwise, with so many dozens of people, just eating is a large amount of food.

Besides, it's not that he didn't see that Chu Dashan bought a large amount of grain from the outside, as the ration for the people in the valley. This is not rice bran mixed with sand, broken grain residue, or moldy coarse grain. It is a serious medium grain, which can be put into the pot directly after pounding off the shell.

I also bought low-grade grain, but not as much as medium-grade grain. The low-grade grain was prepared to feed poultry and livestock when the grass did not grow in the first few months of spring.

In this way, the flat valley at the bottom of the Gourd Valley was opened up.

During this period of time, the long-term workers were called by the sons of Chu Dashan all day long to be busy, and the purple vanilla and millet were planted one after another.

The development of the aquaculture industry has been exceptionally smooth, but who knew that something big had happened to sericulture.

At the beginning of the spring this year, as usual, Chu Qi went to those families to continue raising silkworms, but almost all of them shook their heads, saying that they would not support her.

There were a lot of reasons, but Chu Qi didn't believe any of them. In order to find the truth, Chu Qi specially asked an acquaintance to help him inquire in the village. Only then did he know the reason.

It turned out that once Chu Dashan went to sell the dark flower Sujin and was seen by the villagers.A horse costs 60 taels. Is that still Su Jin?Those are silver bars!

This incident caused an uproar in the village. Throughout the winter, everyone was studying. Next year, they will also raise silkworms, work on looms, and weave brocade.And the Chu Dashan family, who made a lot of money secretly, hated it, so everyone in the village decided not to tell them about the actions of the villagers this time.

Chu Qi was so angry when she got the news, she grabbed Lang Jun's clothes and complained, "You said that their stupid claws can still knit dark flowers and plain brocade? I can't even knit them."

Chu Dashan's chest trembled when he heard the smile.

"Chu Dashan!"

"Okay, okay, I think it's better to grow herbs for money. If you don't raise silkworms, you won't raise them. Besides, our green plums and peach blossoms are not willing to weave brocade. You always stare at them to weave, and you want to hurt the feelings of mother and daughter. of.

You are also a mother-in-law, why bother? "

Chu Dashan persuaded her when he saw that our wife's eyes were red with anger.

"I'm just not reconciled. You say that they are irritating or not. It's not the way to make money with jealous people, right? It's enough to crowd out our family? I also instigated the few families who raised silkworms for our family to stop doing it for our family. …”

"Why are you so angry? Our secret flower Sujin didn't tell them when they were selling money. When you think about it, it's not normal for people not to tell you." Chu Dashan was in a good mood.

Chu Qi: "..."

When Qingmei and Taohua came back from the valley outside, they were overjoyed when they heard that the silkworm raising at home was broken.

Chu Qi glared at the two of them with fierce eyes: Are you two girls going to be mad at me one day?
