Chapter 114
There are also these chickens raised by Lin Xiaoman, they are not too small when they are bought, and they can grow up to look at those long legs. Good things, I asked Lin Xiaoman to help get some back.

Lin Xiaoman simply went to the animal husbandry station and bought [-] chickens. There are fewer roosters and more hens. They are all breeds that can at least guarantee two eggs for three days. One egg a day is not a problem.

After bringing them back, any family in the village who wanted to raise them would come to her house to buy them. A chicken cost five cents, but it was sold out in less than half a day, and some people bought more than a dozen chickens.

Some people who didn't buy them asked Lin Xiaoman to help buy some more, but Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse. Some people even asked her to help ask if there were any ducklings for sale, and wanted to stock ducks in the river.

Lin Xiaoman was moved when he heard this. There are not many people who raise ducks here, but it is not impossible.

Ducks are much easier to raise than chickens. You don’t have to worry about rushing to the river every day. When you come back at night, most people don’t know how to feed the ducks with vegetables and food. They just let them eat the small fish in the river. shrimp.

After they are matured, no one needs to chase them away. As long as you get up early and open the enclosure door, the ducks will line up and run to the river, even without the need for people to release them.

The only thing to pay attention to is that the ducks do not lay eggs on time, and the free-range ducks have to go to the river to pick up eggs from time to time, otherwise they may not know where to lay their eggs.

But duck eggs are good things, and roast duck is even better.

Perhaps Hedong Village can unlock several new delicacies.

In mid-March, almost every family in Hedong Village raised some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep brought by Lin Xiaoman.Lin Xiaoman also bought a lot of wild vegetables that the villagers went up the mountain to harvest.

The seedlings ordered by the villagers before were also brought in one after another. Lin Xiaoman spent the whole day in the field teaching the villagers how to plant them. Although he wore a bamboo hat on his head, he was inevitably darkened by the wind.

When Lu Jin saw Lin Xiaoman again, she was standing on the newly reclaimed land, teaching everyone how to plant potatoes. There were large and small sliced ​​potatoes with sprouts in the baskets on the ground, and several village women were Sharpen quickly with a knife.

These women were all hired by Lin Xiaoman from the city. Now when the farming season is busy, there are not many idlers in the village, but there are many idle women in the city. Twenty yuan each can help with a day's work.

Those potato pieces whose sprouts had been peeled off were thrown into a pile, because the sprouted potatoes contained toxins. The staff at the grain planting station repeatedly told her not to eat these potatoes. Lin Xiaoman didn't know how strong the toxin was. I didn't think about eating it. I planned to use it to make potato starch, which can be used in cooking later.

Lin Daqiang has been busier since spring plowing, but the busier he is, the more at ease he feels.

When the village was closed by heavy snow before, Lu Jin asked the people in the village east to bring out the grain, and when the road was cleared, they would double the repayment. With his tough attitude, he took out most of the food in the family.

Sure enough, after the road was cleared, Lu Jin did not disappoint these people. Not only did he repay the grain twice, even if he borrowed coarse grain at the beginning, he also returned white rice.

Even because of their performance when the village was closed, as long as they are willing to buy wasteland, they will be given priority, and the measured land is full mu.

This made those who were not willing to take out their food at that time regret it, but it was too late to regret it. Whoever made them think too much, did not believe that Lu Jin would really do what he said.

Lin Daqiang believed more and more that there would be meat to eat with Lu Jin. Now that the village was busy with planting, when Lu Jin came to inspect the village, he naturally followed.

Lu Jin stood behind Lin Xiaoman and learned how to plant potatoes, and Lin Daqiang also learned along with him.

There are many families in the village who want to grow potatoes. After learning with Lin Xiaoman for a while, they learned it. They all went home to farm their own fields, and Lu Jin rolled up his trouser legs to help.

Lin Xiaoman's family has a lot of fields, and she plans to use five acres of land to grow potatoes.

Originally, she thought that she would drive the donkey to plow the land by herself, and plow and plant the land one by one. Now that she has Lu Jin's help, Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse, so she thought about driving the donkey by herself, and asked Lu Jin to help hold the plow.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jin supported Litou very well, and the two cooperated very well.

Lin Daqiang couldn't just watch, so he rolled up his trouser legs to help. Lin Xiaoman asked him to drive the donkey, and he took a hoe and followed in the plowed field. Lin Erhu followed Lin Xiaoman with a basket of potato sprouts. Planted in the back.

Put a potato sprout and cover it with some soil with your feet, and then step on it lightly to plant it.

The land has been fertilized before plowing, and it is enough to bring some river water from the river to irrigate it later.

Because she was busy, Lin Xiaoman didn't have time to prepare delicious food for Lu Jin. At noon, she asked Lin Erhu to buy two bags of steamed stuffed buns, and she made a big bucket of seaweed and egg drop soup. Everyone squatted on the ground to eat. of.

Looking at Lu Jin dressed in coarse cloth, wearing a torn straw hat, holding a bowl in his right hand, and a steamed bun in his left hand, one trouser leg is high and the other trouser leg is low, his feet are covered in mud, and his face is tanned a lot. Lin Xiaoman couldn't believe it. Is it really the cold-faced nobleman she knew before?
If she doesn't recognize it, she will believe it when told she is a mud-legged villager like her.

Lu Jin ate eight big buns in a row, and drank a big bowl of egg drop soup. Finally, he slowed down his eating speed, but he still ate slowly.

Thinking of coming to Hedong Village to eat delicious food at Lin Xiaoman's house, he didn't eat early in the morning, but he didn't know how busy Lin Xiaoman was until he arrived in Hedong Village, so he didn't have the nerve to say that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

After another morning of work, he was already hungry.

But the taste of this steamed stuffed bun is really good, the stuffing is big, and the inside is full of soup, the skin of the steamed stuffed bun is not only white, but also soft and sweet, it is delicious that he has never tasted before, even the royal chef in the palace may not be like this, It's totally ready to open a shop.

Until she started to burp after eating, Lu Jin still ate two more. Seeing Lin Xiaoman sighed, she obviously had a big appetite. When she was at Mrs. Lin's house, she was often disgusted by her. How can Master Lu eat better than her?Didn't it mean that rich people eat less?

It seems to be tired from work.

After eating the steamed stuffed buns, I took a rest for a while and started working in the afternoon again.

Recently, many people in the village have opened up wasteland. The Xu family who were exiled originally wanted to help Lin Xiaoman's family plant land, but it was not too late to open up wasteland, so Lin Xiaoman asked them to go first.

Several people from Peng Guan had been watching over there. It was only during lunch that they heard that the adults were coming to the village, and rushed over. They saw the adults busy in the field holding the plow. They were all terrified, afraid that the adults would blame them. He didn't help Lin Xiaoman's family with a good job, so he rushed to grab the job from Lu Jin.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jin was not idle after being robbed of his job, and went to Lin Xiaoman's house to bring another donkey over to plow the field.

With the help of these officials, more than five acres of potatoes were planted in one day. Although Lin Xiaoman was happy, she was tired all day and didn't have the strength to cook anymore. She could only treat everyone to a good meal when she was not busy.
