The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1322 [1321] The story of the buried female farming 49 (5100)

For the fruits on the mountain, five fruit growers were specially invited to take care of them. If they need to carry water and fertilize, they need long-term workers or those who buy them to do it.

Although the air in Zhuangzi is not as good as that on the mountain, every day when I wake up and take a walk along the field ridges, and then wander around the mountain, I feel refreshed when I look at this hopeful pastoral life.

In autumn, she can realize the freedom of picking eggs on the mountain, picking their nests every day to find the taste of chicken, duck, goose and three kinds of eggs. Thinking about it, she thinks it can cure her obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Rabbits live in one litter, so they dare not disperse them completely. Instead, they are housed in a place on the mountain, so that they can be self-sufficient and free to move around. Every evening, workers will come to clean the place and collect these The excrement of livestock is accumulated in a pit at the foot of the mountain, and when it is time to fertilize, it will be taken to the field by loads to enrich the land.

If the fertilizer is not enough, you have to go to the septic tanks in the city to pick it up. These are free, but the cost of going to the city is very expensive, one penny at a time, and how many people who can do the job of picking manure can afford it Can afford the cost?That's why the dung picker truck was invented. Ten buckets were hung on a truck, and they were pushed towards the outskirts of the city.

In this way, ten barrels of farmyard manure can be transshipped at one time, which is worth the money.

The soldiers in these city gate towers don't care, after all, this is a cycle of conscience, if the country people don't go to the city to pull fertilizer, where will the city's excrement be discharged?After a long time, it will be a problem, so whenever you see a septic truck, you will wave your hands and cover your nose to tell them to leave quickly.

If these people are promised benefits, they may be able to take them away without paying a single fee.

After Baihe learned about these rules in the city, she asked the people in the village to pull it for a week in two months, mixed it with water, and poured it into the ground, which was almost enough nourishment. Breakfast for a week, one meal a day, before dawn to pull, and when the city gate opened at dawn, work had to be stopped, so as not to affect the surrounding environment.

Bai He taught Xiao Liuer to make this breakfast. It changes every day and does not repeat the same style. Who makes them so crowded? They have to go into more than a dozen dung trucks a day. Instead of spending a dozen copper coins, it is better to give this breakfast The soldiers in the city gate tower established a good relationship.

Sauce meat buns, soup buns, deep-fried dough sticks, vegetable corners, sugar cakes, fried buns, flower rolls, hemp flowers...all of them are delicious and hungry noodles, and occasionally they will give each of them a whole bowl of noodles. After eating breakfast at his house, no matter how many people go there every day, as long as they clean up before opening the city gate, they have the right to ignore it.

Occasionally, Xiangzi and Liuer, who deliver food, pass by the gate of the city, and these little soldiers they know will take the initiative to say hello, look, isn't this relationship good?
So sometimes I don't want to let go of the children and can't tie the wolves, and get in touch with them everywhere, maybe someday it will be useful.

After the fertilizer is settled, the crops in the field must rely on frequent irrigation, weeding, and pest control to ensure the harvest.

Where there are paddy fields, it is completely artificial drainage, which is very laborious. As long as the water level drops, it is necessary to change shifts to step on the water truck to pump up the water from the well and irrigate it into the fields. In order to facilitate irrigation, the paddy fields have special water channels to lead in , so as to ensure that the water can quickly flow to the fields where they want it to flow.

In addition to the rice field, even the place where vegetables are grown needs frequent irrigation and fertilization. There is also a well here, but there is no water truck, so it is necessary to fetch water into the field once it is done. There is wages paid, and that’s what you earn, so it doesn’t matter whether you are suffering or not.

When sowing on the dry land, they are planted after rainy days, so that the ground will have a layer of moisture, which will help the seedlings germinate.

Half a month after planting, water again systematically. The kind that is watered thoroughly can't wait for rain, so it needs to be lifted and poured into the ground once it is done.

After that, you can watch the sky and eat. After all, the plants grown in the dry land are resistant to drought and do not need to be watered frequently.

It's a pity that the sweet potato vines in the space can't get out the potatoes, otherwise the harvest will be much improved!

Half of the dry land is planted with wheat, and half with sesame, sorghum, millet, buckwheat, mung beans, and red beans.

Fields are the foundation of life, and only with fields can there be hope for survival. Now that she has a hundred acres of land, there is another mountain that she can toss about as she pleases. After the intense summer sowing, Baihe finally has the time to breathe.

Taking advantage of the slack season, he spent more than 300 taels of silver to build six wells, and hired a carpenter to build four waterwheels, with a total cost of 400 taels.

One of the water trucks is built at the foot of the mountain, which is convenient for carrying water up the mountain to irrigate the fruit trees.

A waterwheel is added to the paddy field, and a waterwheel is added to the fertile field and dry land.

After that, we need to build canals, because there are no canals in other fields except paddy fields. In order to let people flow into the fields more quickly, canals must be built. This also means that long-term workers have more time to spend in the fields and wages. Naturally, it was also preserved.

Her [-]-acre village has fed many people in the surrounding villages.

When things in the village were free, when she went to Tangjia Village to find her godmother, she was immediately recognized by the women in the village.

"Hey, isn't this the boss? Why is the boss here? Is there a need for manpower? It's worth your trip again, just tell our guy and you'll be fine?"

This is the daughter-in-law who is the most capable long-term worker in the village. Her man works as the head of the paddy field in Baihe's village and has a bit of the right to speak, so when there was a lack of work, this daughter-in-law also went to work for a while.

It's not the first time for Baihe to come to Tangjia Village, but since Zhuangzi got busy with work, she seldom comes here. Even when she comes here sometimes, she is sitting in a caravan. No wonder these people didn't recognize her for a while. .

When she smiled and said that she was going to Cui's house at the west end of the village, they were stunned for a moment, and Bai He said with a smile.

"You forgot, the manager Cui in the village bought a house in your village, which is the Cui family at the west end of the village!"

These people immediately reacted: "Is there such a thing? Oh, we didn't even find out. This is a good thing. It is the glory of our Tangjia Village. In the future, if you have a job in this village, don't you have to do it first?" People from our own village come first?"

Bai He responded with a smile: "As long as you do a good job, people will rush to get you wherever you go."

If the work is not good, even if we are neighbors, we will not accept it.

Bai He didn't say the latter sentence, even a smart person can hear the implication.

Now there are a lot of people eating in Zhuangzi every day, so Baihe asks her godmother to send [-] to [-] catties of tofu to Zhuangzi every day to improve everyone's food.

Meat and eggs may not be available every day, but tofu is enough.

The vegetables in the village grow late, and if she needs vegetables, she will also tell the long-term workers to bring some vegetables when they come, and give the price by the catty.

This ability will be needed for the meals of the long-term workers.

Basically, I make pasta for them at noon every day. The steamed bun noodles are made of miscellaneous grain noodles. They are very hungry, and they are paired with fresh vegetables and tofu. Much better elsewhere.

Bai He is also constantly pickling pickles. In addition to fresh stir-fried vegetables, there will also be side dishes for free every day.

Anyone who ate their sauerkraut tofu, spicy cabbage, red soybean paste, and hot and sour kelp shreds didn't say it was bad. Some people wanted to buy some to take home, but she refused.

"When the vegetables we grow ourselves come out, we will pickle more for everyone's winter benefits. They are not for sale now, so you can try them here."

The reason why she planted [-] acres of vegetables was because she thought that in winter, she could make a large portion of pickled vegetables and sell them.

The vegetables grown in summer were harvested before the frost, so they had to be marinated as soon as possible to make winter reserve vegetables. Generally, they can reach the best edible state in about a month.

It means that the peak time of spending money is during the spring and summer sowing every year, but after the summer and autumn harvests, it is time to return to the capital.

Their family has no conditions for exemption from taxes, so they have to pay taxes according to the rules. After paying the taxes, the harvest is their own, [-] acres of paddy fields, [-] acres of good fields, and [-] acres of dry land, even if the yield per mu can only reach half of that of future generations. Well, that adds up to a considerable amount of food reserves.

Four-tenths of these grains are kept in Zhuangzi, and the remaining [-]% must be sold in a way, or else they will be spoiled by insects in summer.

Selling grain is relatively simple, not to mention that there are grain shops in the city, even the farmers outside can help distribute a little.

There is a cellar under the farm. The cellar is used to store vegetables and pickles all year round. For example, food needs to be placed in a dry and ventilated place to ensure that it does not deteriorate. The farm has a special warehouse.

Whether long-term workers choose to use labor for food or receive money at the settlement period has a detailed algorithm. After all, their family has a large population and less land, and they will still rely mainly on food.

Pickling vegetables every year is also a big project, and Bai He didn't plan to hide the method of tucking pickles, so she planned to use the dozens of people she bought to help with this work, and the people she bought could be regarded as her own private property. Their lives are their own, and the secrecy work can naturally be done well.

As for these short-term and long-term workers from outside, they cannot be trusted by Bai He at present.

Since she came to Zhuangzi, she hadn't returned to the mountain for a long time. It happened that she was free this day, so she put on a horse and planned to ride home to have a look.

Now the donkeys and horses in the village have been brought in for transportation. For this reason, Uncle Wei and the carpenters also built large carts and small donkey carts to facilitate the transfer of different people and items in different places. These horses, donkeys, and sheep are fixed every day. They all have to go to the mountains to graze and graze, so there is no need to worry about winter pasture reserves. They have straws, such as wheat, sorghum, and rice, which are the best food for them in winter, and they don’t need to spend any effort to cut them. Grass.

In the past, they didn't grow food in the mountains, so they had to work hard to mow the grass, but now they can save this process.

It is inevitable that the eight horses will be recognized, Bai He used special pigments to render their hair color, which can be regarded as their unique mark of Zhuangzi.

There are even two surname marks of Bai and Cui that are shaved out of the body, and when I bought the horses, I asked for some more filing materials. These horses are now registered with the government. You don’t have to be afraid wherever you go, but you have to take it with you when you go out, otherwise you will not be able to produce evidence when you are investigated, not only will it be confiscated, but you will also be sentenced.

Bai He rode back to see the herbs planted on the mountain, and also watered and fertilized her.

Recently she was busy in Zhuangzi, Xiaomang helped the godmother and the others to set up a stall, and the study time was delayed again and again. When she came back from the mountain this time, she would be on the right track. Literacy, the people she bought must also be literate. Only when they are literate, will they not be easily deceived, and they can manage the long-term and short-term workers below, so that they can record their working hours anytime, anywhere, without the need to select a special person to do this Work.

Only by letting the work flow, there will be less tricks, otherwise, whoever works for a long time can find out some knocks on the door to fill his own pockets, how can she manage it?

It used to take a day and a half to drive a donkey cart and an ox cart to enter the mountain, but now it takes her more than half a day to get there on a horse. Not to mention saving a lot of time, it also eliminates a lot of danger, because horses run on the mountain road The upload speed is fast, and there is no need for people to react.

When she left, she was driving a donkey cart, but now she came back riding a tall horse. As soon as she entered the village, the common people all surrounded her.

Some said that she was not active here, some said that it was uncomfortable, and some needed Baihe to get the medicine for the injection, which made her very worried.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will stay for two or three days this time. Let me go back and tidy up and have a rest. I haven't had a hot meal since morning. When I'm full and rested, tomorrow you Just go up the mountain and show everyone one by one, okay?"

Finally, he comforted them, just as the side got away, the godfather over there chased after him anxiously, and asked her as soon as he came up.

"Where is your godmother?"

Bai He looked back at him in surprise: "Didn't she come back when Xia harvested? Didn't she tell you?"

"She only told me to sell tofu for you now, but she didn't say where she lived, and the kid in my family didn't tell me either, and now the family doesn't have so much work. It's boring for me to be alone at home. I want to go to them. You can't leave me alone."

However, Bai He rejected him: "My godmother, sister-in-law and younger brother didn't tell you, it proves that your performance hasn't satisfied them enough to bring you to live together, they won't say anything, if I tell you , Then what have I become? Besides, is it not good for you to live here at home? You used to provide for your nephews and nieces regardless of the food and drink of your own children and daughter-in-law. Why are you left alone now? It shouldn’t be, you are not You can't count on your son, but can you count on your nephew?"

Bai He's words are not polite at all. They will never change people like this who don't distinguish between inside and outside. If you let him know that the business of his mother's family is doing well, it will be fine. It won't be long before these seven aunts, eight aunts and nephews The nieces and others have to go to the city to go to the godmother, and then her house will become an inn?Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Don't worry, they will come back naturally after the autumn harvest."

Before she finished speaking, the honest man snorted coldly.

"They come back to harvest autumn, isn't it because of the morsel of food at home? If there is no such morsel, will they come back?"

Bai He was very surprised that he would say something like this: "Godfather, isn't this the right thing to do? You can't collect it all by yourself, and they will come back to help you, so that the granules can be returned to the warehouse as soon as possible, so you can eat rice as soon as possible." Is it? It’s better than not taking it in time and falling into the ground, right? Why are you still serious about this?”

"It's all about you. If it weren't for you, our family is fine now. Now, the family is divided into three parts. I became the abandoned person. I have a good family and a good life. Why do you provoke me?" They separated from me? What did I do wrong? I am not good to my nephew and niece, so should I be good to you, a person of unknown origin? "

When people are angry, they always say something that hurts others. The uncle of An's third bedroom obviously has a hard time these days, so he vented all his anger on her, and Bai He is not used to him.

"Godmother treats me well, and Xiaomang takes care of me. Of course I want to treat them well and give them a chance to earn money and live a good life. As for you, hehe, I also take good care of you for their sake. Since you don't If you need this kind of care, please go back and tell the people in the other rooms of your An family not to come to see a doctor at my place tomorrow, and I won’t see them if they come, and you don’t come to me to ask their whereabouts anymore, people Come back, you can ask yourself, if you can’t find out, it’s because you’re not capable, don’t take your anger out on me, I’m not your punching bag!”

"You, okay, you finally revealed your true colors, right? I think you did it on purpose, to prevent us from settling down, and you still want to join our family tree. You are dreaming, and I am here, what are you doing as a girl?" , I don't admit it!"

Bai He really didn't want to listen to what happened next, so she led the horse directly up the mountain, the key opened the door of her house, slammed the door shut, locked it from the inside, led the horse to the backyard, and took it out from the space A large bundle of corn stalks was thrown to it: "Eat it!"

Then add enough water to the stone trough next to it, and then start to clean the yard, and pile up all the animal feces in the previous chicken coop and pigpen, and wait for the mountain to be scattered into the ground tomorrow.

Vegetables in the yard were all over the ground, and a lot of them were picked off by birds and insects. She quickly found a basket and started picking vegetables. It took three baskets to pick off ripe peppers and eggplants, some of which were old. I can't eat it anymore, but I can't waste it either. I can take it back and chop it up and feed it to chickens and ducks.

The leeks grow very well and are very thick. She took them and cut them from the beginning to the end. She roughly estimated that they weighed twenty or thirty catties, and then received all the space and waited for the right time to take them out in the future.

The corners outside the courtyard were covered with loofahs, bitter gourds, and plum beans, and now they are growing very gratifyingly, densely packed, and full of fruits. After she poured the vegetables in the yard into the space, she took the basket and began to pick the outside. After picking, I have to go to Wei's house, open the yard of Wei's house, and the yard is full of vegetables and fruits. When she is busy until the sun goes down, she roughly estimates that today's harvest will reach more than two to three hundred catties, because bitter gourd and loofah Eggplants and cucumbers are really good...
