The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Tang Mian looked at Li in surprise and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Not only pigs, but also chickens and ducks. Your dad wants to buy more this year. Your dad said that since he has to stay at home from now on, he has to do something, so he might as well buy more livestock to raise in exchange for money."

In the past, the old man often worked outside. Before Mianniang came, most of the work at home and in the fields fell on her, and she had very few livestock.

Later, after marrying Mian Niang, I bought more to raise.

Tang Mian was slightly startled, not knowing what his father had in mind.

Speaking of raising livestock, she had thought about it before, but it was just that it would not be easy to raise livestock for a while, not to mention that she had no capital at that time.

Now, I can really buy some more to raise and sell.

Besides, more livestock means more dung.

"Mom, if Dad is willing, we can buy some more chickens, ducks and goose seedlings to raise."

Li was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly, "If you buy too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to cut as much grass for feeding."

Nowadays, the grass in the fields and mountains is not cut completely in any season.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Mom, we can buy grain chaff and mix it with food."

"That's a lot of money." Li said without thinking.

"Mom, you can buy chaff for ten pounds for a penny, and mix it with grass to feed. The livestock will grow fast, so we still make a profit." Tang Mian and Li calculated the account, "Also, there are many livestock, we The family will have more manure land, and the crops will grow better."

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up and she agreed with a smile, "Okay, we will buy as many chickens and ducks as there is left in the backyard. I will tell your father about this later and ask him to build a bigger chicken and duck pen. of."

It's better to let the old man do some work, so that he won't feel sorry for himself from time to time. He always feels that he is useless with a half-handed hand and can't make money.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued picking vegetables.

However, if livestock are fed too much, the probability of death increases.

I have to ask Dr. Wu tomorrow if there is any medicine to prevent livestock from getting sick.

If Dr. Wu doesn't have it, you can only go to the county medical center or find a doctor who specializes in treating livestock and ask.

However, it is difficult to find doctors who specialize in treating livestock.

……

"I do have a prescription to prevent livestock from getting sick. If you want it, I will make the medicine into powder in the next two days. After you buy the livestock, come and get it, mix it with chicken and duck food and feed it." Wu Yunsheng's eyes were deep, as if It was said in memory.

"Thank you, Doctor Wu." Tang Mian said happily, not paying attention to Wu Yunsheng's subtle changes.

In this way, it saves a lot of trouble and reduces losses.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Wu is really quite capable.

Wu Yunsheng waved his hand, "No, you just have to pay for it."

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Doctor Wu, I'll leave first."

Wu Yunsheng responded softly, and Tang Mian turned around and left.

After solving the problem of livestock diseases, Tang Mian returned home happily.

After returning home, Tang Mian went to see the soaked grain seeds. The seeds would be sown in two days, but nothing could go wrong.

"Mian Niang, look at the grain seeds!" Lu Zheng's laughing voice reached Tang Mian's ears.

Tang Mian turned around when he heard the voice, "Dad."

Lu Zheng nodded, "What did Doctor Wu say?"

When Tang Mian went out in the morning, Lu Zheng thought she was going to see the grain box. Unexpectedly, she went to Dr. Wu to buy medicine to prevent livestock diseases.

"Doctor Wu said he has a prescription, and he will make it into powder in the next two days. I'll get it later." Tang Mian replied, curling the corners of his lips.

Lu Zheng responded softly and was in a good mood.

"Have you gone to see the grain box?"

Seeing his father-in-law's serious and expectant look, Tang Mian couldn't help but find it funny.

"I went to see it. It's true. Thank you for your hard work, Dad."

Lu Zheng, who was originally a little nervous, immediately became relaxed. He straightened his back with his hands behind his back and said, "It's all a small problem."

"You go about your business, I'm just coming back to get something."

Tang Mian said, "Dad, what do you want to get? I will go to the fields with you."

"No need." Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Just dig a small piece of land to grow vegetables. It doesn't take much trouble."

"Aren't you teaching the Three-Character Sutra to Zhuang Zhuang these two days? If you have free time in the past few days, you should take care of him first. After sowing the seeds, there are still many things to do. It will not be so easy to spare enough time to teach him. .”

Tang Mian thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand, Dad."

Lu Zheng smiled, turned and left.

Tang Mian also covered the grain seeds and left, going to the room where Zhuang Zhuang was.

However, she was not going to teach Zhuang Zhuang the Three-Character Sutra.

"Zhuang Zhuang, Mom has to go out for something. When your grandparents come back later, you can tell them."

"Got it, mother."

After leaving Zhuangzhuang's room, Tang Mian carried the manure bucket and the manure scoop up the slope, preparing to carry the fertilizer and water from the compost pit to the rice field that had been processed yesterday.

That is, the Crescent Moonfield she bought from Lu Hongwen.

Although the fertilizer and water are not as good as pig manure, you can still smell the smell from a long distance. Moreover, it is very offensive to the nose.

Come to think of it, the effect won't be that bad.

"Mian Niang, what you picked doesn't look like pig manure. Why is it so smelly? Where did you pick it?"

Tang Mian was walking on the road carrying fat water. People passing by took a look at him and asked in confusion.

Tang Mian shook his head and said: "It's not pig manure, it's some leaves, rotten grass roots, firewood ash, and fermented fertilizer and water accumulated in melon and fruit peels. I picked it up and poured it into the fields to fertilize the fields."

People passing by widened their eyes and asked, "Can these things be used to fertilize water or fields?"

Tang Mian, "I heard what others said, and this is the first time I've done this. So, I'm not sure whether it can fertilize the fields."

There is nothing to hide in these things.

However, I really don’t know the effect. People passing by nodded doubtfully, "Haha, you're busy, I'll leave first."

Tang Mian nodded, saying hello, and continued to the Crescent Moon Field carrying fertilizer and water.

The Yueyazi field is one-third of an acre, and Tang Mian carried more than half of the fertilizer and water from the compost pit.

It seems that the compost pit is still too small.

After picking up dung, it was already past midday, and Mrs. Li was almost ready to make lunch when she got home.

"Mian Niang, what are you doing? Why are you still carrying a bucket of dung?" Lu Zheng looked at Tang Mian who came in and asked strangely.

A lot of time has passed since he and his wife went home, but Tang Mian hasn't come home to pick up manure.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Dad, you forgot, didn't we dig a compost pit last year? I carried most of the fertilizer and water in it to the Crescent Moon Field."

"Oh." Lu Zheng suddenly realized.

For a moment, I really didn’t think about it.

"You kid, you're going to pick up fertilizer and water from the compost pit, why didn't you call me!"

"Dad, it's okay. It'll be the same if I go pick it up." Tang Mian didn't care very much.

On the contrary, father-in-law, as he is getting older, he should do as little of these heavy tasks as possible.

Lu Zheng sighed helplessly, "Give me the dung bucket, I'll carry it to the back."

Saying that, he reached out his hand to get it.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Dad, it's okay, I can just pick it up."

Lu Zheng looked at it and didn't force it, "Okay. The food is almost ready. After you pick up the dung bucket and put it away, let's get ready to eat."

"Okay, Dad, I understand." Tang Mian responded, carrying the dung bucket to the backyard.

In the afternoon, Tang Mian did not go out again, but stayed with Zhuang Zhuang and explained to him the interpretation of the Three Character Sutra.

In the next two days, I carried tools and went to Qingzhu Mountain to collect medicinal materials, so that Zhuang Zhuang could first become familiar with what I had talked about before.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day to sow grain seeds. After breakfast, Lu Zheng was packing up the things he needed.

"Mian Niang, is there anything else you need to prepare?" Lu Zheng asked, looking at the pile of things in the small courtyard.

Tang Mian checked the things again, shook his head and said, "No more."

"Then shall we go now?" Lu Zheng was very positive.

He also knew what his elder brother said about the competition, and he couldn't let them compete. His rice seedlings must grow best.

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Dad, it will be warmer in the afternoon. Let's go there in the afternoon."

"Okay." Lu Zheng sighed.

Tang Mian secretly laughed inwardly. Her father initially disagreed with her trying to breed, but to his surprise, he was now more anxious than she was.

"Dad, I'm going to check Zhuang Zhuang's homework for the past two days."

"Go, go." Lu Zheng stared at the thing in front of him and waved.

After lunch, the whole family took their things and went to Crescent Moon Field.

"Mian Niang, have you told your uncle and others how to use the bamboo blocks and oilcloth?" Lu Zheng asked on the way.

Tang Mian responded softly: "I told you."

"That's good.

When they arrived at the Crescent Moonfield, Tang Mian handed the grain seeds to Li and said, "Mom, you were the one to sow the grain seeds in previous years, and the seeds were spread evenly. Now it's you who do it."

Li shook her head and said, "Mian Niang, you should do it. Mom always feels nervous and is afraid she won't get it right."

"Besides, in the past, I spread my seeds all over the field with my arms, but it's not like this. I can only scatter them on narrow grain bins. Mom has never done this before, so I guess I can't control it well."

Tang Mian was slightly startled. In fact, she was also worried that she couldn't control it well. She felt that her mother had more experience than her, so she let her do it.

Unexpectedly, my mother also had her concerns.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He often went out. Although he earned money, his wife had to carry the money inside and outside the house.

Later, after having a daughter-in-law, the old woman became more relaxed.

"Mian Niang, it's better for you to do it. If possible, take it easy." Lu Zheng said.

Tang Mian nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he rolled up his trouser legs, went to the field with the grain seeds, and sprinkled them on the grain box in small handfuls.

Although it is much slower, it is still dense and dense.

"Mian Niang, how do you get a bamboo block?" Lu Zheng asked after seeing Tang Mian finish sowing the grain seeds and picking up a bamboo block.

Mian Niang hasn't told him about this matter yet.

Tang Mian raised his head and said, "Dad, let's each take one end and insert the bamboo blocks on both sides of the grain box, inserting one piece every one foot until the whole box is filled."

"Okay." Lu Zheng responded, picked up the bamboo block and went to the field.

"Let me help too." Ms. Li said.

Lu Zheng responded without looking back, "No, I'm busy."

Mrs. Li looked at it and didn't force it.

However, she didn't leave. If she needed help, she could help.

Zhuang Zhuang stood beside Mr. Li, watching Tang Mian and Lu Zheng working with interest.

He felt that he had learned something different again.

Lu Zheng and Tang Mian finished planting the bamboo blocks, then pulled the oilcloth to cover the bamboo blocks, and then pressed the oilcloth with mud in the field.

After doing all this, Lu Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, "Does this count as done?"

"Yeah." Tang Mian pressed down the last bit, straightened up and responded softly.

Lu Zheng looked at the grain box covered by the oilcloth and said, "Let's go and see how your uncle and the others have done."

Tang Mian nodded, "Okay."
