A small peasant girl

Chapter 978

"Uncle Carpenter, you have misunderstood me. How dare girl Wen look at your jokes." When Wenzi heard this, he thought of the old craftsman's expression of wanting to settle accounts with someone, so he could only pretend to be wronged and try to shift the responsibility Open, it is the best policy to separate yourself from the relationship, "There were so many aunts and grandmas just now, and I am a girl, and no one takes me seriously, so I don't know what to do."

"Come on, I think you sincerely want to see me laugh." The old craftsman immediately exposed Wenzi's explanation, but he also knew that now is not the time for him to lose his temper, and he still has a lot of business on hand waiting to be dealt with.

"Master Carpenter, please do me a favor and come to my humble house to get together?" Xu Lizheng wanted to use this kind of friendly reception to appease the old craftsman's slightly bad mood, and to ease the old craftsman's treatment of the Xu family's women. bad impression

A few days ago, the master of Wen County gave Xu Lizheng this temporary title, and by the way asked the Yamen to pay for it and rent him a decent house to live in.

Although Li Zheng is a small official, if he still lives in a simple temporary housing like a refugee, it will not show his unique identity as a Li Zheng at all, and it will not be easy for Xu Lizheng to work for the yamen with peace of mind.

"Forget it, let's talk about it next time. I still have business to do now." Seeing Xu Lizheng's smiling expression, the old craftsman had a respectful and flattering attitude.

After all, it's not easy for others to slap people in the face in the future if they save face. The old craftsman also learned some basic social etiquette from Master Wenxian.

"Grandpa Lizheng, when Uncle Carpenter finishes his work, he will come to your house for tea." Seeing a few young people standing beside Xu Lizheng, Wen Zi quickly offered to help Say something nice, so that Xu Lizheng won't be embarrassed after being rejected by the old craftsman, "You also know Uncle Carpenter's temperament. If the house is not built in a day, he won't be able to sleep at night."

"It's easy to talk." Xu Lizheng climbed down the ladder naturally, and quickly lifted the topic with a smile, "I don't know here, but does anyone need my help?"

"You go back first, let these young people stay, maybe I will use it later." The old craftsman is a hard-working man, he wants to draw a simple house diagram directly on the wasteland, take a look Whether Wenzi's design will work or not, he will have a bottom line in his heart.

"Well, it's easy to say." Xu Lizheng saw that the old craftsman was talking about this, and guessed that there would be some physical work in a while, so he didn't try to push it. After all, he was getting old, so there was no need to struggle with his body, "You guys A few, stay here and listen to Master Craftsman's orders, if things go wrong, I will settle accounts with you later."

"Grandpa Lizheng, leave this matter to our brothers, so you can rest assured." One of the young people directly spoke out to make a promise. In order to make the words he said convincing, he did not hesitate Wang stretched out his hand and patted his chest heavily, "Grandpa Lizheng, our brothers will never let you down forever."

"That's good." Xu Lizheng also said this for the sake of seeing what he said, and he still retreated with a sense of knowledge and interest, so as not to get in the way here, "Then, Mr. Carpenter, Wen girl, I will take a step first, if you have something to do Someone come over and call me haha."

"That's easy to say." Wenzi smiled very politely at Xu Lizheng. Not only did he give Xu Lizheng the respect he deserved, but he was also very polite.

"Girl Wen, don't bother, just take a few steps if you have nothing to do." Xu Lizheng shied away with a smile. Although he is not as strong as a young man, he doesn't want to easily obey the old man in front of young people.

"Oh, let me tell you, so what if you just let them send you off. You've arrived home safely, so we can go about our business here with peace of mind." A few young people said, "You guys, use a hoe to dig out the soil in the place where I drew the line, and let me see how the soil underneath is."

"Then, you guys are busy first. Remember, you must obey the orders of the master craftsman." Xu Lizheng knew that his wordy words would definitely attract people's dislike, so he consciously chose to leave, leaving the open space behind him for them to fiddle with.

Wenzi on the side, although unable to do physical work, did not forget to keep her eyes on the soil dug up by the young man, she even reached out and grabbed a handful, put it in front of her eyes and observed it for a while.

At this time, Wenzi suddenly thought of the desolate land in the northwest of his previous life. He seemed to have some good ideas, and planted golden rice in that dry and water-deficient place.

In Wenzi's impression, the yield of the rice grown there is not bad, not at all inferior to the total amount of grain grown from paddy fields in this life.

And the most important thing, Tiandi had found something similar to rice seeds for Wenzi before, and she planted these seeds in a large porcelain pot, and a lot of sprouts had begun to grow.

If it goes well, Wenzi wants to find more rice seeds like this, and then plant them on the wasteland that is more in the direction of Northwest Datong.

It is not suitable to pour water directly on the wasteland, but if there is cement, Wenzi plans to dig a large pit with a height of one meter, and spread a layer of cement around it to prevent soil erosion, which may be a good and feasible way.

If this method is feasible, then Wenzi can solve the work problems of many laborers in Xujia Village. After all, building a house is a limited job and cannot last for a long time.

Of course, if living crops can be grown with cement enclosures, if this bold experiment is successful, Wenzi also plans to let the young women in Xujia Village try to grow mulberry and tea trees. This kind of work is not complicated and laborious, but it can solve their problems. Work problems can also bring considerable income.

Wenzi didn't know before that there were still large pieces of wasteland in the direction of Datong in the northwest of the town. It has been wasted.

"Girl, girl, why don't you go over and have a look, the seed you planted earlier seems to have sprouted." On the way to send Xu Lizheng back, Xiaoying saw a faint green growing on the desolate ground. Thinking of the plants that Wenzi had almost planted in this place before, he ran over happily, wanting to share the good things with Wenzi.

"Really?" Sure enough, when Wenzi heard the news, his eyes turned into crescents in the first grade of junior high school, and he ran to Xiaoying in a trot, holding Xiaoying's hand to find the place where the sprouts were, " Xiaoying, quickly take me there to take a look, I want to take a look right now."

　Even later, o(╥﹏╥)o
