Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 54
As for why there is a short fence around the fence tree, it is naturally Li Xiao's sudden idea to raise chickens and ducks in the orchard!

Chickens and ducks can run around the garden, eating bugs and grass, and their excrement is fertilizer for fruit trees. In this way, not only do chickens and ducks that exercise a lot have good meat, but the quality of fruits with natural animal fat will not be too bad!

After the busy farming season, Li Dashan and his family drove their ox cart into the city to buy new clothes before clearing up the low mountain land.

Now that his family is well off, Li Dashan is reluctant to leave his clothes and make his own clothes, so he simply spends more money to buy ready-made clothes.

One person, two clothes, plus a pair of shoes, including the two boys who are still in school.

Then I bought some white flour, lard, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar for kitchen use. Anyway, I bought as much as I could, there will always be times when I need them.

The family went out after breakfast and returned home after lunch. Packing large and small bags, and filling their bellies with food, they spent more than six taels of silver in this day!
When passing by the old carpenter's house, Li Dashan specially greeted the old carpenter's two brothers and agreed to start clearing the mountain tomorrow. Then he left a few pieces of maltose for the three children and drove the ox cart home.

Starting from the second day, Li Dashan took Li Dazhuang and Li Dali from the old carpenter's family to start clearing the mountain.

Tree roots, grass roots, and rough rocks all need to be cleared away during sorting.Then the topsoil needs to be treated and the subsoil leveled.

After sorting everything out, the three of them began to build the ridge, and then leveled the topsoil again.

Back and forth, it took three men more than 42 days to reach the 20 acres of low mountain land.Of course, during this period, Li Dashan "skid work" for a day and a half. He got up early and went into the mountains in the dark to pick a batch of unicorn fruits and delivered them to Jixiang Restaurant.

Because they have an agreement with the restaurant and the kirin fruit is also wild, Li Dashan's family can only do this now and earn another 300 taels "sneakly".

In mid-October, the small terraces in the low mountains had taken shape. After Li Dashan and the other three spent a day spreading plant ash on all the land, they no longer needed to worry about it for the time being.

The five acres of dry land plus the previous orchard required a lot of short fences according to Li Xiao's requirements. Li Dashan asked the two brothers Li Dazhuang to help us weave and surround the fence.

On October [-]th, when all the low fences have surrounded the orchards and dry land, it will be the end of Shenshi.

Thinking that there would be no big work in a short period of time, Li Dashan invited brothers Li Dazhuang and Li Dali to have dinner together, and paid nearly a month's wages by the way.

Calculating based on 29 days, one person has 580 coins per day, 160 coins per person, and a total of [-] coins for two people.

A little more than one tael. For the Li Dashan family now, it cannot be said to be a drop in the bucket, but it is not too much.

But when the brothers looked at the coins in their hands, they were very excited.This is more than what the brothers can earn by working as part-time workers outside. The important thing is that they can take care of their families and make money by working right at home. Where can they find such good things?
The two brothers thanked Li Dashan so much that the dignified man became red-eyed.

Seeing the two of them like this, Li Dashan could only say that there was still work to do later and he would have to ask them for help. The two of them thanked them again. It was not until Li Yuan asked Li Qingzhu to come over to call for dinner that Li Dashan relaxed. tone.

To be honest, he really didn't know how to handle such a "touching" scene.

The next day, Li Dashan took the excuse of hunting and took a look at the situation of yam.

A large patch of yam vine has almost dried up. According to my daughter, it will be busy in two days.
