Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 78

In the back mountain, Liu Qingcao and Liu Jiangbei were picking Guanyin leaves leisurely, unaware that a meeting in the village had ended.

"Jiangbei, how is it in the academy, are you still used to it?"

"Sister, I'm used to it, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and my master treats me well." Liu Jiangbei grinned.

Liu Qingcao knew it when he saw his sunny and lively appearance.

She seldom asked Liu Jiangbei about his studies. Her original intention was to let him study well, not necessarily to make him famous.

Liu Jiangbei is very sensible and smart. Master Yan Yi said that he is smart and hardworking, and he is a talented person with ambition.

After hearing this, Liu Qingcao was also happy for him. If she could be admitted as a scholar, she would study hard. If not, she would teach him how to do business.

"Then don't be too tired, remember what my sister said, you have to combine work and rest, you know?"

"I know, I've always remembered it. Sister, Lu Dingyuan said that he would come to our house to play next time he is on vacation."

Liu Jiangbei looked at Liu Qingcao, with a trace of expectation in his heart, expecting his sister to refuse...

"Next month? Let me think about it. Don't wait any longer. My sister is very busy next month. I'm afraid I won't take good care of her."

Next month is really busy. She will teach the villagers how to plant potatoes, and she will hire someone to plant her own land. The guests here must eat and drink well. They are too busy, so I am afraid of being negligent, so I will wait until it is free. good.

Liu Jiangbei listened to what his sister said, nodded quickly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qingcao felt a little doubt in his heart, why did he feel that he seemed happier?

The village head of Shihe Village, Jiang's family.

"Mom, keep these potatoes?"

Jiang Dafu looked at the six potatoes on the table, and felt reluctant to part with them. It weighed two catties, more than 400 Wen, which was enough for their family to eat several catties of meat.

Li Shumei shook her head and nodded again.

Jiang Dafu was puzzled.

"Mom, what do you mean, to eat or not to eat?"

"Eat, but you have to keep half of it, and eat it next time!" Although Li Shumei was reluctant, she was even more curious about how the potatoes tasted, and they were several times more expensive than meat.

"Then eat half of it first, and save the rest for us to eat next month."

"Well, today Dayin is going to pick up Brother Chuan, and tonight Chunhua will cook and stew the meat brought back by Dayin with potatoes."

"I know mother."

"Go down, mother, sit alone for a while."

Li Shumei pinched the center of her brows. Recently, she had a lot of thoughts and couldn't sleep peacefully, which made her feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable.

Jiang Dafu looked at his mother and blamed himself.

"Mom, how about I rub it for you?"

"No, you go and take the deed to Qingcao, and let her keep it. There are a lot of fields on it, so she knows what to expect."

Li Shumei waved her hand to let him go.

Jiang Dafu pursed his lips and left the yard.

Walking on the road, Jiang Dafu could see the sound of hoeing in the fields everywhere.

Liu Qingcao came back from the mountain and was watching two children writing in the yard when she looked up and saw Jiang Dafu walking towards this side.

"Brother Jiang, come in and sit down."

"Qingcao, I won't sit anymore, this is for you."

Jiang Dafu handed the contract in his hand to Liu Qingcao, Liu Qingcao smiled, took it over, and looked at it.

"Brother Jiang, is this all done?"

"Well, it's all done. Not long after you left, I called the villagers and told them that these are their contracts, but they are ready."

"Yeah, I'll put it away, and I'll use it when the time comes." Liu Qingcao nodded, she had space, but she couldn't put it anywhere where it was safe.

"That's fine, I won't stay any longer, I'll come back tomorrow to change the clothes for Uncle Niu and the others."

"Brother Jiang, go slowly."

"Just here, don't send it away."

Jiang Dafu waved his hand, making Liu Qingcao stop, and rushed home without looking back.

In Jiang's kitchen, the fragrance of dishes was overflowing, attracting the elegant Jiang Chuan, who put aside his etiquette, and sniffed around the kitchen carefully.

"Brother Chuan?"

Jiang Dafu smelled the aroma of vegetables as soon as he entered the door, walked towards the kitchen, and suddenly saw Jiang Chuan's appearance, he was a little bit wrong.

"Ah, Dad, you're back!"

Jiang Chuan tidied up his appearance and stood up, his face still flushed with the embarrassment of being caught.

Jiang Dafu let out a "hmm" and walked into the kitchen without further ado.

"Huh, it's so hanging..." Jiang Chuan patted his heart, secretly thinking that he was careless.

"Chunhua, why is it so fragrant?" Jiang Dafu walked to the kitchen with him, and threw a fire into the fire pit.

"It's the potatoes, stewed with meat, it's delicious." Wang Chunhua smiled, staring at the lid of the pot, for fear that it would burn if he didn't pay attention.

"It's very fragrant, no wonder it's expensive."

"Yeah, it hurts to eat..."

The two were chatting in the kitchen, and Li Shumei was sitting in the room, holding a dilapidated book in her hand, reading and reading, finally put down the book and went to the kitchen.

"Is the food ready?"

"Mom, it's almost ready, and it will be served in a quarter of an hour." Wang Chunhua glanced at the lid of the pot, and answered silently.

Li Shumei nodded, turned and went back to the lobby.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Chunhua and Jiang Dafu brought the food to the table, and the aroma of braised potatoes lingered in everyone's noses, making people move their index fingers.

"Let's eat." Li Shumei didn't hesitate, and directly ordered dinner.

After the meal, everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Mom, these potatoes are delicious and you're really hungry, hiccup!" Jiang Dafu hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes dodged left and right, and the tips of his ears were red dates.

Li Shumei just glanced at him lightly and didn't scold him.

Dafu is right, this potato is very hungry, if the yield is high, this thing can be used as a staple food.

From this point of view, if Shihe Village grows potatoes this year, every household will have surplus food in the coming year.

At night, Liu Qingcao settled down in Liujiangbei, lying on the bed by herself, looking at the tiled roof, and soon fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the villagers of Shihe Village walked briskly to their respective fields. Different from the quietness of other villages, Shihe Village was full of chatter and laughter, and it was very lively.

"Jiang Li, when did you go back last night? Why did you wake up so early?" Tian Lin looked at Jiang Li, who was full of energy, and asked. He went home earlier than Jiang Li last night. It was dim, and Jiang Li was afraid that it would be even later when he went back.

Jiang Li laughed:
"After you left for a while, I went home, washed up and went to sleep. I slept very deeply."

"Haha, yes, yes, we are all the same."

Jiang Dafu was barefoot and went down to the field with a hoe on his shoulder. Seeing that they were chatting here, he reminded him a few words. Last night, when he came out to blow the air, he saw many people still working in the fields, as if they had been beaten to death.

"Big guy, don't just work and never rest. If you get tired, it won't be worth it."

"I know, I know, Village Chief Jiang."

"Don't worry, village chief, we all know, how can we be confused."

"It's fine if you know it. It's not hot now, everyone work harder. When the sun comes up, go to the shade." Jiang Dafu swung the hoe vigorously, and it was deeply embedded in the ground.

In Liu Qingcao's yard, Liu Jiangbei and Pan Ping'an sat on a stool together, peeling peanuts and eating them one by one.

After this period of recuperation, Chen Cuizhi and his wife have almost fully recovered. At this moment, they are carrying corn in the field with Liu Qingcao, and sending them home with a basket on their backs.

The old man Niu mostly recovered from his injuries, and sat quietly in the yard peeling off the corn husks.

"Sister Chen, starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to make stewed pork and cold tofu. Brother Pan will be responsible for delivering the goods to the town in the future. I will be very busy next time, and I will leave these to you." Liu Qingcao wiped them with her sleeves. Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, he explained to the two of them.

The two of them raised her for such a long time, and finally she got better when she was the busiest. This was thanks to the Lingquan water, otherwise it would have to wait a month or two.
