Xianggong farming

Chapter 195
The next morning, Qi Dalang rode to the city on horseback. When he came back, Ji Xinmiao was surprised when he saw the banknote in his hand: "The Jiang family just thanked him with silver?"

Qi Dalang nodded: "Young Master Jiang said that you will not be rewarded for nothing. The Jiang family has more than 3000 mu of land and is worrying about planting early rice. The method we sent just helped them solve a big worry. This little money It's not the buyer's money, but just represents his gratitude to us."

Well, sending people with money is the most arrogant way!Moreover, Jiang Jialei will feel that he has no burden if he can settle the debt of favor with money, right?After charging 50 taels of silver, Ji Xinmiao joked, "I never thought that this sudden idea would make us both famous and rich!"

Looking at the little money fan in front of him, Qi Dalang couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I have an amazing daughter-in-law!"

It's just that Ji Xinmiao really didn't know how the idiom "Fame and Fortune" changed from a commendatory term to a derogatory term, so that when she heard these four prefixes, they all became bigger!

It's only been three days since I got back to Qi's house, and the spring rain has stopped, but the temperature doesn't rise, so I put down the field.Qi Dalang still remembered what his wife said that he needed a lot of plant ash, so he went to the wasteland to shovel grass and open up wasteland every day at dawn.

I just felt that it was too slow for me to do it alone. Qi Dalang mentioned during dinner: "Daughter-in-law, the wasteland has four or five acres, and I have to open it before the rain. Uncle is talking about going to the town to look for work, I want to ask him if there is any job in the town. If not, I will ask their father and son to help us open up wasteland, what do you think?"

Ji Xinmiao blushed, these days she only cared about the bone meal and the cold spring, and forgot about it.With money at home, why make your man work so hard?Such carelessness is not a good woman!

But today, if Qi Dalang can ask her opinion first before inviting others, Ji Xinmiao is more satisfied: "You can be the master of this matter, I will take care of the family affairs, and you will take care of the field affairs. How much do you want to hire?" People, how much money and money to give is up to you. But, does this invite people to take care of food?"

When Qi Dalang heard Ji Xinmiao say that the daughter-in-law is the master and the man is the master, he smiled in his heart: "I don't care about the food, 35 big money a day, no food is included. Although Liu Dashan's brain is not good enough, but the work is very difficult. A good hand. Daughter-in-law, don't care about other people's ingenuity."

Ji Xinmiao smiled "puchi": "You are looking for hard labor, not an undercover agent. What do you want to be so clever? As long as he is willing to work, he can do anything."

Qi Dalang also walked away with a smile: "Then I'll go ask Uncle Liu."

"Go, go, but you have to clarify our requirements for plowing the land. It's okay to do it for a few more days, the key is to do it properly."

"Don't worry, I follow you every day, so don't worry about this. All you have to worry about is to give birth to a son for me someday!"

Ji Xinmiao stared: "Having children depends on men. I don't have any common sense about this. You are illiterate!"

Qi Dalang was dumbfounded when he heard that: Having children depends on men?Who said that?If this is the case, then shall I confess it once every day when I sleep?
If Ji Xinmiao learned that Qi Dalang explained her words like this, she would definitely vomit blood with anger!

It was only dawn the next day, and the sky was still foggy.

Ji Xinmiao was startled when she opened the door: "Da Lang, Uncle Liu and the others are here."

Qi Dalang hurried out the door: "Uncle Zheng, it's too early for you guys. The breakfast hasn't even been cooked yet, why are you here so early?"

Liu Xiuxiu smiled naively: "Do some homework first, then go back to have breakfast."

Qi Dalang looked embarrassed: "Uncle Zheng, you should go back and eat before you come back. There is no such thing as hiring labor, or the villagers will say that I am too smart."

At this time, the aunt behind Liu Xiuxiu asked eagerly: "Nephew Dalang, how about aunt helping you too?"

Qi Dalang said hesitantly: "Auntie, that work is very tiring."

Aunt Zheng smiled and said: "Anyway, which woman can't do the work in the field? My aunt has never complained about things outside the house. Isn't it just opening up wasteland? Aren't I the ones behind our house? What? I don’t want you to pay 35 dollars a day, or how about you pay 25 dollars? I will definitely not do less work.”

As soon as Ji Xinmiao heard this, she knew that this family must be in trouble. Since others have something to ask for from you, and her own family also invites one more person, not one more person, and one less person, it is convenient for herself.So she came out and asked, "Auntie, are you waiting for money at home? If you can bear it, my husband, let Auntie try."

Aunt Zheng said gratefully after hearing the words: "Thank you, my nephew and daughter-in-law, I will never make it difficult for you. Dashan's daughter-in-law has agreed, and the date is set in August. But the dowry gift is still two or two taels short. So I also Thinking about helping out."

Ji Xinmiao smiled when she heard that: "Auntie, congratulations! Brother Dashan's daughter-in-law has entered the door, and you will be blessed!"

Aunt Zheng also smiled sincerely when she heard the words: "Whether to enjoy happiness or not depends on what people think. You know the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, Dashan is an honest child. She is already 22, not to mention the last daughter-in-law, a year's delay It will be even more difficult after a year.”

Ji Xinmiao had heard about this family a long time ago. The couple are relatively honest, and they don't care about things.So she thoughtfully said: "Auntie, as long as you are willing to find work, there will be a lot of work for my family this year. After this wasteland is finished, I still want to open that barren mountain. Are you willing to do it?"

The Qiliu couple was overjoyed when they heard the words: "Yes, yes! My nephew and daughter-in-law, you and your wife are really good people. We, a big man, go to the town to find work, and sometimes we don't get 35 yuan a day. Your family is in this village. Thank you so much for giving us 35 yuan. Let’s go to the ground first, why don’t Da Lang go and guide us?”

To lead the way is to tell them how to work, which is a polite word from farmers.

Qi Dalang saw that the three of them really wanted to go down, so he put on the double-layer straw sandals that Ji Xinmiao made for him, put a hoe on his shoulder and said, "Then uncle and auntie, let's go. "

With help in the field, Ji Xinmiao began to concentrate on the preparation of her copper sulfate.Cotton seeds must be produced with high quality, and this copper sulfate is the key to breaking the shell of cotton seeds and increasing the germination rate.It can be prepared in a small amount in the laboratory before, and it has not been done for a long time. She is a little fuzzy about the proportion...

Qi Dalang came in and saw her blankly, and asked with concern: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
