Villager of Daming

Chapter 7, Seventh Change, Seedlings appear in the field and startle the neighbors
The three pigs enjoy welfare, they ride in a car, and the eleven sheep can only follow the car.

"I have the money to rent the cow, three big fat pigs, satisfy my greed."

The head of the village sat in the car, patted the hoof-bound pig, and the pig made a whimpering sound.

"Father, the village catches crabs, and if there are any crabs, come and sell them." The grown-up son thought about the crabs in the future.

The little girl was holding a small basket full of snacks, and she was going to go back and distribute them to the little friends in the village. She only ate a piece of candy herself.

Zhu Wentian stared blankly into the distance, feeling tired when silently praising himself.

It's too difficult, if you sell crabs as a fool, you can't pay for it, and you can't let others see it.

When it was completely dark, the head of the village lit up the lantern he had prepared in advance, and hung it obliquely in front of the cart to illuminate the way for the mules.

They took out cakes and salted fish pieces and shared them. Except for the little girl who ate a cake before, the other three didn't eat lunch.

"Father, the money is so easy to earn." The grown-up son swallowed the food in his mouth with cold water, full of emotion.

The head of the village glared at him: "Where is it good to make money? If Hanhan hadn't learned his skills in the mountain temple, who would know how to weave crab pots like that? Hanhan, you should eat more fish."

Zhu Wentian: "..."

He doesn't want to eat too much fish, it's salty, and he needs to drink a lot of water if he eats too much.

But he has to cooperate: "Hey! Eat, fish!"

"Brother Hanhan, it's getting late when you go back, and you still want to live in the mountain temple? It's getting colder, I have to add a quilt for you."

The little girl felt the wind blowing at night, it was chilly, and she remembered the situation of Brother Hanhan in the mountain temple.

"Okay, come on, warm, hehe!" Zhu Wentian really didn't want to live in someone else's house.

He actually has two places to live outside, except for the mountain temple, and the other is in the sacrificial hall of the village, where he is allowed to live.

He was invited back after worshiping ancestors and gods in the village, and a complicated ceremony was held.

He can sleep in any house and eat at any table.

The villagers believe that if the village guards are raised well, the village will be healthy.

***
At four quarters of the Haizheng, when the mule cart returned to the village, someone who was watching specially shouted, and everyone came out to check the situation.

When they saw three big fat pigs and eleven sheep, and heard the head of the village say how much money they had made and how much money they had left, everyone was relieved.

The next day, the head of the village took people to various villages to rent cattle and discuss prices.

There are too few crabs, there are only more than 500 crabs. We will raise them first, and the family will take a few back.

In the days that followed, the rented cattle plowed the fields.

The villagers secretly drove to put the crab baskets in the river next to the other village at night, and rushed to pick them up in the morning, loaded them into cars, and transported them to Xuancheng.

Zhu Wentian is still the main seller of crabs, and the market knows that there is a fool who always benefits others.

Every time he sold the money, Zhu Wentian tried his best to spend it.

Buy salt, 350 a stone, buy a big iron pot, buy coal, buy iron farm tools, buy buy buy...

Thirteen days later, all the land was plowed and the rented cattle were returned, and the village slaughtered pigs for the first time.

The hot water was boiled in a large pot, and the pig was tied and placed on the table.

The pig butcher pierced the pig's left neck with a knife, poked it forward, turned the handle of the knife, and pulled it back, causing pig blood to spurt out.

The person next to him had already prepared a large basin, filled with warm salt water, and gently stirred in one direction while connecting.

Others pour hot water on the pigs to shed their hair, and then they decompose, process the offal, and turn over the intestines for cleaning.

The adults are busy, and the children watch the fun and wait for the meat.

The three pigs agreed that they would not be assigned to each household, and they would eat together when working.

Not afraid of eating them all, Zhu Wentian bought another ten pigs. It is useless to keep the money right now, so he will make up for the villagers first.

After a delicious meal of meat, three pig heads are placed on the ridge of the field for incense, and men, women and children rush in to plant rapeseed and ramie.

This matter has also been discussed, and the village takes half of the things planted as public money.

The remaining half is distributed according to the proportion of each household's original field, and no one suffers.

The crabs are going to be sold for another half a month, and the money earned will be used to buy cattle. Next year, the paddy fields will no longer need people to pull the plow.

The price of farm cattle varies according to size, health, age, male and female.

You can buy cheap ones for [-] Wen, but expensive ones for [-] Wen depend on luck.

At this non-cultivation season, the price of buying cattle can be lower, and the cattle have to be raised for nothing, not working, and feeding some straw.

When the spring begins, it is necessary to add concentrate to feed, fatten the cattle, and prepare for work.

***
The last time Zhu Wentian sold out the crabs, there were 26 more cattle in the village.

Among them were [-] sick cows, and he was in charge of treating them, which was cheap!

Other cattle farmers don't understand, but he understands that a doctorate in animal husbandry is for nothing?

Others thought that the cow was dying, so he insisted on buying it like a fool. The little girl cooperated with the performance, persuaded and cried, and finally got it at a low price.

So there was an extra pig's head on the platform of the mountain temple, and the head of the village thanked the mountain god's grandpa. Zhu Wentian and his friends would eventually marinate and eat this pig's head.

At this time, the rapeseed and ramie in the field have sprouted, and they are gratifying to look at.

The head of the village began to get busy, receiving guests.

Xiaqiu Village made such a toss and finally managed to hide it from the other villages.

"Yichang! What is this saying?" The chief of Xihe Village came, and he stood on the ridge of the field to look at the seedlings.

Yichang is the name of the head of Xiaqiu Village. He was the third eldest in the family, and the two older brothers died young.

In fact, it should be called Zhu San, but Zhu San was the surname of the country at that time, so Zhu San might not be calling someone.

"Feng Laosi, it's just farming, what's the way?" the village chief asked the other party.

"You went to my village to borrow cattle, why didn't you tell me?" Feng Gui from Xihe Village asked.

"Rent, it's rent, and it's paid for. Didn't you say you're going to dig the land when you rent it?" The head of the village smiled.

Feng Gui frowned: "Who knew you were such a digger? It's too late for you to plant rapeseed and hemp after harvesting the rice! If you knew earlier, my village would learn from it."

"If there is no harvest next year, let me tell you, you should scold me."

The chief doesn't believe it, it's good, others will thank you, if you are tricked, you will be remembered forever, hum!

Feng Gui went to the fields to see for himself, so as to judge whether it will grow well next year.

Walking carefully, he asked: "You have caught crabs from the river where I live, have you sold them?"

"Why does such a big river belong to you? There is also the Yangtze River to the north! Do you write your name?"

The head of the village resolutely refuses to admit that he caught other people's crabs, and you didn't catch crabs in previous years.

Feng Gui clicked his lips twice: "Yi Chang, have you met a capable person in your village?"

"There are no street thugs or tyrants in my village, but there are only village guards in my Xiaqiu village." Li Chang's face was full of pride.

Feng Gui glanced at the other party in surprise: "You guys still keep that idiot? Back then, I ran to the villages with great fanfare to send ceremonies, saying that I had found a new village guard. How is it now?"

"Look at my village, and then at your village, you should know what to do."

The head of the village curled his lips. The population of Xihe Village is larger than that of Xiaqiu Village. It's just that there is chaos there.

In Xiaqiu Village, everyone is working hard, who dares to sneak around?
As for the simple village guard, seeing that he was about to reach the age of Cheng Ding, Lei Yuye got enlightened in the mountain temple.

Generation after generation in the village has raised the villagers, and to my own generation, God has eyes!

The ancestors are amazing!As I said a long time ago, if there are no guards in the village, there will be disasters and chaos.

Thinking so, he raised his eyes and saw a figure in front of him, also squatting in the field, and hurriedly greeted: "Hanhan! Hanhan, are you going to the field?"
