Escape to farming: Fortunately, I have a portable supermarket

Chapter 138 Sweets
Ye Mingqin was not in a hurry to go back to the city after he recovered from his injury, but asked his brother to drive a carriage to take him around the surrounding villages for a few times.

Ye Mingqin and the others went out with a purpose. They wanted to find some experienced people to help open up wasteland and farm.

There is no way, almost everyone in the family is busy now, and other tasks cannot be entrusted to outsiders for help, only the work of opening up wasteland and farming can be hired.

Opening paddy fields is not an easy task, and Bian Han has a lot of knowledge here.

According to the knowledge Ye Ming learned in elective courses, there are two elements to open a paddy field: First, paddy fields must be opened in places with hot summer and abundant precipitation. Cold and drought are not acceptable, and heat and humidity must be guaranteed.

Secondly, there are rivers and lakes nearby for irrigation, at least a few ponds or something. In a word, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water sources.

It just so happens that these conditions are fully met here, so Ye Mingqin moved to the idea of ​​opening the paddy field.

As for the specific steps of opening the paddy field, the first step is of course to make the ridge of the paddy field, which is to surround the paddy field to prevent the loss of water and fertilizer.

The next step is to retting the field, where some organic and inorganic fertilizers that are common in rural areas such as silt, weeds, domestic garbage, livestock manure, plant ash, etc. are piled up.

The next step is to plow the field. The purpose of plowing is to level the field, so that the water can flow in and distribute evenly, so that the nutrients can be evenly distributed;

The second is to remove grass roots, make the land soft, increase air circulation, and allow nutrients to penetrate into the ground. In addition, the plowed fields are easier to sow and plant seedlings.

The last step is to fill the plowed field with water, and a paddy field will be opened at this point.

Although Ye Mingqin knew all the elements and steps of opening paddy fields, Ye Mingqin decided to hire some experienced masters to open them. After all, there is a specialty in the field!
Her knowledge points are all from the teacher's explanation, but she has never really practiced it. As for the pepper she planted before, there is really no way to do it. The people here have no experience, so she can only bite the bullet and cook it herself. .

Let's just say that "everything is a problem if you don't have money, but it's not a problem if you have money" is quite reasonable.

In the past few days, all the grain that should be harvested in the fields has been harvested, and it will take a few days for the rest, so many men have been idle.

Ye Mingqin and the others are just right to ask. The area under the jurisdiction of Yunfeng City really has all the advantages of the right time, place and people. Except for the really poor households, other households more or less have such advantages. A few acres of paddy fields.

Therefore, there are many people who know how to open paddy fields. If the water source is not so sufficient, Ye Mingqin thinks that the people in the area under the jurisdiction of Yunfeng City will be able to get richer. After all, this rice is much more valuable than wheat, but these are problems. Foreign words.

But these have brought convenience to Ye Mingqin, no, just after running two villages, the master who opened the paddy field is enough to find!
Ye Mingqin knew that the paddy field was going to be opened well, so she couldn't be in a hurry. Looking at the end of summer, Ye Mingqin specified that she didn't expect the paddy field to be put into use this year, so she was very careful when choosing a master.

Since we are not in a hurry, we have to choose carefully and try to find good masters. Only then can we have a good harvest in this paddy field, right?
This time I heard that someone went to the village to recruit people to open the paddy fields. Of course, those men who were idle at home rushed to see it.

There are many people who have no experience in farming and want to make up for it. There is no way. The fields at home are basically passed down from their ancestors. Even those who have opened paddy fields are mostly from dry land to paddy fields or to help those big families. The field opened by Zhuangzi.

But Ye Mingqin had already thought about these situations, it's okay, isn't he just a fake person?I am considered a half-expert at any rate, so I can't tell the difference?
So in the question and answer between Ye Mingqin and these guys, this experienced master was picked out just like that.

Of course Ye Mingqin knew that his place was not easy to find, so he made an appointment with these people to wait at the fork in the first village to the official road tomorrow morning, and Ye Lou would pick them up then.

In addition, Ye Mingqin specifically told them to bring their own dry food, and they could provide them with water or something.

After all, Ye Mingqin and the others have to buy a lot of food for their family now, so Ye Mingqin would rather give them two cents more than provide food.

What Ye Mingqin didn't know was that after he and his brother left, the two villages started a heated discussion.

Those men who were selected said that Ye Mingqin must be a rich lady, or a lady who has gone to school, just by Ye Mingqin's bearing, otherwise, why would he always behave generously when facing them? Yes, I can't see a bit of shyness. If this lady was not raised by a rich family, she would never have behaved so gracefully.

In addition, this young lady knows a lot. The steps to open the paddy field are set in one set, and they are not ambiguous at all. After all, even many old women in the village have the steps to open the paddy field. Don't know anything.

The most important thing is that Ye Mingqin is so generous. You must know that they used to work in Zhuangzi without food, but the wages paid by those Zhuangzi were all less than what Ye Mingqin gave!

But don't think that this article is not much money, if you think it is too little, then you can try to send an article to each of the big guys.

As for those men who were brushed down by Ye Mingqin, of course they dismissed them: Miss Fu, look at that, although the clothes she is wearing are not patched, but the material is very ordinary, maybe it is just to save face. The new clothes are all worn out.

Besides, whose rich lady is still learning how to open paddy fields.Whose rich lady is still driving a carriage to show her face everywhere? Didn't you see that the carriage doesn't even have a cover?

This is all right, the two gangs got together like this, those who were selected said that those who were not selected could not eat grapes and said grapes were sour.

As for those who were not selected, of course, those who were selected were all trying to please Ye Mingqin and the others.

Ye Mingqin didn't know that she just went to the village to pick a few people, and she pulled out so many things, and these things allowed her to choose someone when she needed someone again.

But these are all things for later. Now Ye Mingqin and Ye Lou are struggling with where to find the organic fertilizers used in the paddy fields. After all, these things can only be used after a year of fermentation in the countryside. But they've only been here a few months.

"Go buy it!" Ye Lou suggested to his sister.

"Are you going to pull it?" Ye Mingqin asked the most important question. She had thought about buying it a long time ago, but how to get it back after buying it? This is a big problem. After all, all the cars at home are used for pulling food.

Don't say that Ye Mingqin is hypocritical, what are the raw materials of this organic fertilizer? It must not be a secret. Those human feces, animals, etc., how can they be pulled by a food cart, and how can they be pulled to eat.

When Ye Lou heard his sister's words, his expression immediately became tangled. How could he do it? Although he doesn't farm the land, he knows what the so-called organic fertilizer is made of, let alone his carriage. If you want to buy wine and food, even if you don't do it, he doesn't want to go to the organic fertilizer. You know, he doesn't even go to the toilet that has been remodeled by him.

"Then why don't we get a new truck body for pulling it?" Ye Lou slapped his thigh and thought of a new way.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow when the masters come to see the land!" Ye Mingqin didn't comment on his brother's suggestion. After all, everyone in the family who can do this has something to do. Go buy it, and you will need so many animals at home in the future, so you don't need to go out to buy it anymore.

So in Ye Mingqin's mind, it was really not worthwhile to get a car body just for pulling this time.

"Hey! I didn't expect that one of us studied medicine and the other studied ancient architecture, but now we both come to farm!" Ye Lou suddenly laughed.

"What's the matter, don't doctors eat? Or architects?"

"I didn't say anything. It's just a sigh of impermanence. If we go back, our family must have been farming for countless generations!" Ye Lou laughed along with him.

"We are farming now, and we will definitely not be farming in the future. By the way, how is your reading?" Ye Mingqin is very confident about the future of himself and his brother.

"Of course, I will ask you to be the housekeeper for a while later! Of course I have read the book well, after all, I want my sister to be an official lady in the future!" Excited, after all, my family used to study medicine for generations, and even if there were a few who didn't study medicine, they were all in business, and no one had ever been in politics.

As for why he didn't go into politics, it was the teaching of his ancestors anyway, so Ye Lou didn't know why.

In Ye Lou's concept, he and his sister came to this ghost place, regardless of the ancestors' teachings, the last word is to live well.

After all, this is not the new century where everyone is equal, which they lived in before. This is still a feudal society. Anyway, whoever is the official has the final say.

So if you want to live a good life, you can’t just have money. You have to be in politics. Having money and power is the safest way.

"Did you go to the space to read it?" Ye Mingqin asked, after all, the lights in his brother's room were turned off earlier than his own every night, so how could it be that he was reading outside.

"That's right, the rest of the knowledge is fine, but the theory is a bit of a headache!" Ye Lou said honestly, after all, the government has already given solutions to these things, and he will let the public comment, but when the time comes Now it has become a solution for him, which really gives him a headache.

"It's okay, just try your best. Anyway, I don't expect you to be the number one scholar. Just go up if you can pass the exam. Let's climb up step by step." Ye Mingqin didn't have too many demands on his brother, after all, the emperor is not a good thing. Ye Mingqin didn't expect the imperial examination to be fair enough.

Not only did she not want her brother to be the No. [-] scholar, on the contrary, she also hoped that her brother would not be so conspicuous, so that he could be an official and forget about it. After all, her family has no background, and it is easy to get into trouble if she is too good.

However, Ye Mingqin didn't directly tell his brother these words, but who is Ye Lou? Sister's implication.

"Yes, yes, your brother himself doesn't expect him to be the number one scholar, so you just put your heart in your stomach!" That's all, now that there is no support from parents, you can only rely on yourself step by step.

After returning home, Ye Mingqin told everyone about the opening of the paddy field. He had talked about it with Ma Yi at the beginning, and the others only just found out about it.

But everyone has no objection to this matter. After all, after having those several acres of paddy fields, they think that the family can eat rice grown in their own fields in the future, instead of eating pasta such as steamed buns every day.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Lou went to the fork to pick up people at the agreed place. The process of picking up people went smoothly. The sixteen masters they selected the day before yesterday arrived early before Ye Lou arrived. The place is waiting.

There is no way for the carriage to pull so many people down at once, so Ye Lou had to take them to the road that his family had just opened up, tell everyone to go straight along the road, and then pick up the older ones and pull them home first. .

After Ye Lou got home, he handed over the people to Ye Mingqin who had been waiting in the courtyard, and then turned back to pick up the rest of the people.

The few people who just got out of the car immediately smelled the sweet smell in the air. There was no way, even though Ye Mingqin had asked several sister-in-laws to close the door of the baking room, the windows still had to be opened, and the fire was burning inside. Can they all be shut down?
The people Ye Mingqin found were all real peasants. After all, if the family was richer, they wouldn't come to work with Ye Mingqin and the others again, would they?

Several men have already started to swallow their saliva, there is no way, the smell is too fragrant, and they can't describe the taste, anyway, there is only one word: fragrant!
Oh my god, what is the owner of this house doing? How can it be so fragrant? This smell is coming from that house over there, and there are some jingling sounds faintly coming from inside. What is it specified to be doing? food.

If you get some of this stuff and give it to the kids at home, they will definitely be happy...

"Woof!" Just as the few people were thinking about it, Xiao Baize, who had been basking in the sun in the corner outside the barn, stood up from the ground, and attracted the attention of the few people with a cry. He that.

Xiaobaize: Hmph, this group of greedy two-legged beasts, look at these one and two, don't think that I don't know that you are just thinking about your master's cake!Really, it’s just a dream in broad daylight, I didn’t see that this king had to guard the door here in order to eat cakes, why did you come to my house all of a sudden, but you still want my cakes!
