Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 18
Huh?Why did Liu Jiangbei bring people here?
Liu Qingcao stood in the yard, looking at the two people and the cow that were getting closer, her heart was full of doubts.

As soon as Liu Jiangbei on the bullock cart approached the courtyard gate, he jumped out of the cart and stood in front of his sister with a smile on his face.

"Sister, Uncle Niu said he would come and help us chop firewood, hehe, just pack the rice, and he will feed the cow himself."

"Ah? Haha, it's done. With the help of Uncle Niu and the cart to pull firewood, I will save a lot of trouble. I just need to trouble Uncle Niu."

Liu Qingcao also raised a smiling face, gently touched Liu Jiangbei's small face, turned around, picked up the machete and went out the door.

It's not that she didn't want to invite someone in the past, but after so many times, Liu Qingcao always felt bad, so she didn't say anything. She didn't expect that someone would come when she sent a fried dumpling today.

When she heard Liu Jiangbei say that the old man Niu came to help chop firewood, she was very busy. There are so many people and so many good people. If you help her for a day, it will be regarded as her working for several days. How can she not welcome it!
On the mountain, Liu Qingcao and the others worked hard to cut down the branches of the big tree, and only one or two trunks remained.

There are many trees on the mountain, so cutting one or two is fine, but as a modern person, she is very aware of the effect of trees on the mountain, so naturally she would not do such a thing like killing a chicken to get its eggs.

The three of them ran up and down, running back and forth non-stop, and the harvest was naturally not small.

For half a day, the outside of the yard was piled up into hills. Those small branches, Liu Qingcao planned to get them back tomorrow, and the big firewood also needed to be chopped into small pieces.

This time the wood is quite large, and it will take a long time to finish it. Liu Qingcao will not take a machete every day and chop there. At most, he will go to the town next time and take the blueprint. Ask Liu Dazhuang to give him a saw that is commonly used in modern times.

For dinner, Liu Qingcao cooked four dishes and one soup in order to thank Old Man Niu for his help.

Cold pork head meat, stewed pork, fried eggplant box, chili scrambled eggs, sliced ​​lung soup.

There are enough ingredients for each dish, and I guarantee that the old man Niu will be worthwhile for his help today.

Indeed, the old man Niu ate to his heart's content, and said a few more words on rare occasions, which she liked to hear.

The old man Niu said that if you need help in the future, you can call him, and you only need to pay for the meal.

Liu Qingcao knew that it would be more cost-effective to hire a long-term laborer outside, and it would cost more than ten yuan a day, and the meal was not included.

But she doesn't think so, why, because the old man Niu not only needs help from people, but also cattle. Even if he rents a cow to plow the land outside, the rent is ten yuan a day.

The old man Niu came here one person and one cow, and the wages cost more than [-] yuan a day. If he used this money as food, if he started a business like her, the money would not be enough for food, but so what, she just had to worry about it.

Before the old man Niu left, Liu Qingcao agreed with him that he didn't have to come here in the morning, he could earn some ox cart money, and just come to help in the afternoon, her time has been arranged in an orderly manner.

In the morning, Liu Qingcao has to burn the kiln and take care of the vegetable garden, and in the afternoon, he spends his time in the mountains cutting firewood, arranging firewood, and carrying water to irrigate the field.

The next day.

After breakfast, Liu Qingcao kept busy in the vegetable garden. She used a hoe to dig out the ditch of each acre of land, divided it into pieces, and planted different varieties.

In the large box of seeds I brought back last time, the seeds I knew included peanuts, corn, soybeans, peas, sorghum, glutinous rice, broad beans, sunflowers, bitter gourd, loofah, green beans, cowpeas, lettuce, tomatoes, and ten others. She didn't know how to plant seeds, so she also took out a little bit to try planting.

Corn, peanuts, soybeans, kidney beans, cowpeas, tomatoes, lettuce, sorghum, bitter gourd, loofah, suitable for sowing after the summer solstice.

It’s a bit late to plant glutinous rice now, but you can also try to plant less, but I don’t know if they can produce rice seeds and what the yield is.

Considering that except for peanuts, soybeans, and green vegetables, seedlings do not need to be raised before transplanting, and other seeds need to be raised and transplanted to improve the survival rate. Peanuts, soybeans.

There are four quarters of land left, and Liu Qingcao divides them into 20 yuan small land for seedling cultivation.

Near noon, she buried all the seeds in the soil and covered them with hay.

At noon, Liu Qingcao dealt with it briefly, and then started the firewood cutting operation in the afternoon.

For three days in a row, Liu Qingcao didn't stop to prepare firewood until the food at home was finished and the firewood was piled high and wide outside the yard. When it needed to be disposed of, Liu Qingcao stopped to prepare firewood and was ready to go to the town.

In the town, Liu Qingcao went to the vegetable market and meat stand early, it is better to buy meat and vegetables early, after all, go early, the meat and vegetables are good and fresh.

In the days to come, the old man Niu will come to help, so Liu Qingcao bought a lot.

The jars of rice, flour, oil and salt also had to be filled up, and the expense this time was indeed not small.

After buying everything, she went to Liu Dazhuang's iron shop.

"Uncle Liu, can you help me make such an iron tool?" Liu Qingcao took out a piece of paper with the shape of a modern saw, handed it to Liu Dazhuang, and then gestured to him for the size.

Liu Dazhuang took a look at it, and thought it was very strange: "What is this thing, I have never seen it before. It can be beaten, and it is more troublesome than a kitchen knife."

"This, how much money do you need, Uncle Liu?"

Liu Dazhuang looked at the drawings again, and thought for a while: "I don't use much iron, it takes a little time, and it will be done for one tael of silver!"

"One tael? Okay, Uncle Liu, give me two, one is a little bigger, and the bigger one, I will give you more money." Liu Qingcao felt that the price of one tael was not too expensive, and the old man Niu wanted Come to help, one is not enough, just get two, and the speed will be faster.

"Okay, then give me two, two or three dollars, and everyone will not lose." Liu Dazhuang laughed, and put the blueprint in his arms.

Liu Qingcao took out a deposit of one tael of silver and handed it to Liu Dazhuang, and agreed to come and pick it up tomorrow.

Everything was done, Liu Qingcao went to Huibailou, the business of Huibailou was very good, there were queues when it was full, it was more prosperous than Shitianxia opposite.

Entering Huibailou, Liu Qingcao immediately saw Ge Hongshan smiling and chatting with guests.

Liu Qingcao didn't go forward either, and stood for a while at an inconspicuous place nearby, waiting for Ge Hongshan to finish talking with the man before Liu Qingcao walked over.

"Uncle Ge, hello!" Liu Qingcao greeted with a smile.

Ge Hongshan was stunned when he saw Liu Qingcao, then smiled gently and brought her to the account room.

"Huh? Qingcao, here we come. Have you had lunch? If you haven't eaten, you can eat here. Uncle Gerd will pay for it."

Liu Qingcao didn't come here to eat, so she shook her head immediately: "Uncle Ge, I still have my younger brother at home, so I won't eat here. I came here today to ask Uncle Ge, do you collect bamboo shoots here, are they dry?"

Ge Hongshan fixed his eyes on Liu Qingcao, thinking about her words in his mind.

There are very few bamboo shoots in Xia Tian, ​​and they are all bitter and hard to swallow, he doesn't know if this girl understands this level.

"Green Grass, it's not that Uncle Ge lied to you and refused to accept the bamboo shoots. It's because the bamboo shoots in this season are not tasty and can't be sold!" Ge Hongshan shook his head and said helplessly.

Hearing what Ge Hongshan said, the corners of Liu Qingcao's mouth turned upwards. Next, there is a way to make money.

"Uncle Ge, the bamboo shoots I sent are neither bitter nor astringent, they are still very tender. If you don't believe me, next time I come to the town, I'll bring some over for you to taste. After you've tasted it, how about taking it or not?"

"Really!?" Hearing Liu Qingcao's words, Ge Hongshan already believed [-]% in his heart. Seeing that Liu Qingcao put all the opportunities to make money in front of him, he had no reason to let go!
