Chapter 78

Chen Fan turned around, saw Zhang Ci, and met his gaze.

She stared blankly, was he just looking at her?He stood there quietly, behind the lively crowd.The excitement became ethereal at this time.

She lowered her eyes and collected herself.When she looked up again, Zhang Ci was in front of her.

"The flower corridor is very." He smiled slightly.

"This is the scene I've always been longing for. The flowers climb all over the wall, bend the branches, and hang down on the flower stand."

"It's the first time I've seen so many flowers blooming on the shelf, and more and more people will come to see it."

"I am also very happy that so many people can see the beautiful flowers."

"What are those houses for?"

"Let's go over and have a look." She walked to the duck house with Zhang Ci, "These can be raised for sheep or ducks. I want to raise more."

"Is there any other magical effect of raising ducks?" Zhang Ci looked at the windows of the duck house, and they all made beautiful patterns with tiles.

"In winter, the people lack warm clothes, and there are no animal furs to wear. Some make paper clothes and quilts, and some stuff reeds and bird feathers in the clothes. I want to use the fine down of ducks to fill the clothes. It’s warm and soft.”

"I haven't seen paper clothes yet," Zhang Ci said.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I just heard that it is made of the bark of the Chu tree. This bark is rich in fibers and extremely strong. It can be bent at will without breaking. Wearing it on the body is like Wearing a layer of armor."

My mother likes to buy quilts very much. There are winter quilts, summer quilts, spring and autumn quilts of various materials at home. She also teased that the quilts are too comfortable and want to sleep in too much.Now that she came here, she also started to worry about what quilt to cover and what clothes to wear when it was cold.

"Is goose down okay?"

"It's okay. Duck and goose down are fine, but chickens don't seem to work. I'll raise some ducks and geese. Duck eggs are delicious too."

"I can also plant some grass on my land, and raise some chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and cattle." Zhang Ci said.

Chen Fan pointed to the ground: "The alfalfa seeds have been sown."

"Really?" Zhang Ci was slightly surprised, "Then I have to hurry up."

Chen Fan had nothing to say, and started to walk towards the garden, Zhang Ci followed half a step behind her.

"I like those two pictures very much. After reading them, I feel more open-minded." Zhang Ci said suddenly.

Um?Oh, word.

"As long as you like it. I just suddenly remembered to write a few sentences."

"Your handwriting is also very good, I admire it."

"Thank you. Write me a piece of writing too. Your handwriting should be beautiful too."

"Okay. What kind do you like?"

"Do whatever you want. I also wrote it randomly that day."

The places where trees were planted and seeds were planted were surrounded by fences arranged by Li Guanshi to prevent everyone from stepping on them.All Chen Fan and the others could do was walk around the place where the house was built.

Chen Fan suddenly felt that it would be good to just walk quietly like this, so he didn't speak any more.Zhang Ci was also silent, just walking half a step behind her slowly.Qing Ji and Qin Zheng followed behind.

After walking for a while, Zhang Ci went to the front.Chen Fan looked at his back, slowed down his pace, slowed down again, and gradually opened the distance of three or five steps.

Zhang Ci didn't look back, he paced ant-like, waiting for the distance to get closer and closer, and the tips of his ears became more and more red.

Then, he turned around suddenly.

Chen Fan hurriedly stopped his feet, but still leaned slightly forward.

Half a step, half a step away.

"Suddenly I want to tell you," Zhang Ci looked at her, "I can write some customs, do you want to read?"

"I like it. I want to see some delicacies, festival customs, and specialties from various places."

"Then let me think about it slowly, what are the fun and delicious things."

"I still have some forage seeds. If there are any left over after sowing here, I will send them to you to sow." Chen Fan said.Zhang Ci said thank you.

Seeing Guanshi Li, Chen Fan took him to the carriage and dragged three big sacks from the carriage.

These are what she found in the space, at the end of the creek, at the junction of No. [-] and No. [-].

"These seeds should be planted in a ditch and covered with a thin layer of soil," Chen Fan said.

Manager Li asked someone to move the seeds to the edge of the field, which was also fenced off.

"The soil dug out from the ten-acre pond was not enough to fill the land up to the same height as the surrounding area. I still asked someone to dig some mud from the river mud pond. This is the most convenient way and the land is more fertile. If you want to fertilize the land, it is not easy to find so much fertilizer, and you have to wait for a long time for the soil to become fertilized. You only need to pay one day’s wages for digging pond mud, and it is all solved. In addition, I bought some straw and burned it into plant ash, and sprinkled it before filling the soil. First floor." Li Guanshi reported to her one by one.

"It's done very well." Chen Fan praised, "This is just right to plant pasture early. These are annuals, and now they can be used as feed for half a year."

Then, Chen Fan found Wang Daliang, gave him a stack of drawings, and talked about the idea of ​​the second-acre homestead and the arrangement of the garden.She went to Zhang Xiaolou again and gave him the blueprint of the bunk bed.There is also a stack of blueprints for garden houses.

"This bed is interesting. Make one for my child. Is it okay?" Zhang Xiaolou liked it very much.

"Yes." Chen Fan agreed.As long as a carpenter is a little bit smarter, these blueprints can be seen, and it's useless for her to say no.

"I'm going to Shengping County in two days. The Liu family bought some land, and two of them are for me. I'm going to have a look." Chen Fan told Zhang Ci.

"Oh? Where is it?"

"One is called Qijiadu. I guess it's by the river. There used to be seven families. The other is called Yema Mountain. There is a barren mountain."

"Did you buy that piece of sandy soil?"

"I bought it and divided it among several people. I have forty acres of land."

"Forty acres of land is enough, but watermelons are hard to keep."

After taking care of everything on the field, Chen Fan was busy making scallion pancakes and preparing his bags when he returned to the city.The cook has already made some pancakes for her and fried them in oil.

"It hasn't been fully dried yet. When it rains, I put it in the house and take it out again when the rain stops."

"It's okay to dry it in the sun. The sun is hot today. It should be fine to eat for two or three days."

At dinner time, Liu Da and Liu Er came back and distributed the title deeds to everyone one by one.

"It's done so quickly?" Ruhui was surprised.

"It's been two days, the land has been measured, the pictures are all drawn, and we are waiting for us to bring the money over there. We went to the county government with Li Zheng, and came back straight after the land deed was completed. .”

Chen Fan, Huai Shan and Ru Hui looked at the papers together, and the land of the three of them was indeed next to each other.

After dinner, she was a bit busy, and the two wives arranged for someone to load her carriage one by one.One stove, one basket of coal and wood chips, one basket of hay, two small iron pots, three stoves, several sets of bowls and chopsticks, two small buckets, three washbasins, more than a dozen sets of clothes, one thin quilt, one mat, and mosquito nets One, two umbrellas, one pair of rain boots...

Chen Fan stared blankly, could he sleep in the wild for half a month?
