Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 250

After harvesting millet and cutting beans, you have to harvest corn. When you are done with work, you have to work on the vegetable garden again. It should be sun-dried and hidden. In addition, the alfalfa should also be harvested, dried and ground, and then mixed with pig food. pig.

This autumn, the weather is a bit dry again. During the autumn harvest, it did not rain to spoil the grain, but we have to wait for the water to plant wheat.Xiuyao discussed with her parents, "Father and mother, let's return the few acres of heavily rented land from the government." There are several acres of good land, but the tax is also the heaviest, so it is not worthwhile to grow it.The family has now bought [-] mu of land, which is enough to make up for that, and there are nearly [-] mu of self-cultivated land.

The Liu family basically doesn't care about farming now, she looked at Qin Dafu and said, "Let your father decide."

Qin Dafu thought for a while, and said: "The tax is a bit heavy, but if you don't grow it, you may not have enough food."

Xiuyao said: "Father, we don't have enough food, let's buy it. Grandpa's family owns a mill, so it's very convenient for us to buy food."

Qin Dafu looked at Qin Ye again, and Qin Ye said, "Father, I also agree."

Qin Dafu said: "That's right."

On the second day, he went to Zhou Lizheng and told him to put up the land immediately, and anyone who wanted to rent it quickly.There are so many people who want to rent land at this time, so Lizheng is not worried about someone giving up the land at all.

He said with a smile: "Dafu, everyone is going to grab land, but you are still retreating. These days are really getting better."

Qin Dafu humbly said, "It's all for everyone's help. At the beginning, it was Uncle Lizheng who helped. If it weren't for you, how could such a good thing happen."

Zhou Lizheng smiled and said: "You are capable and intelligent, otherwise I would not be willing to help. Let me tell you, after you opened up that piece of wasteland, many people came to look for it. Unfortunately, the rest can't be planted. what."

Qin Dafu also secretly rejoiced that it was a girl with good eyesight,

Plowing the land and raking the land, and waiting for the rain to plant wheat, the third grandpa and others sent the big water truck to Shahe Village.Xiuyao's family went to see it excitedly, and invited many people to help set up the waterwheel. Old Qintou was also happy for his eldest son, and called Qin Ergui and Qin Sanshun to go.

Qin Sanshun said eccentrically, "Father, what am I going to join in the fun? People will be annoyed when they see me. Besides, they gave up the ten acres of land without discussing it with us. They don't want to plant it for their brothers."

Qin Ergui said: "It's a heavily rented field, and there are no flowers to grow."

Qin Sanshun sneered, "He didn't want to plant flowers for his brother. Now it's good, and his own waterwheel has been erected. I think he deliberately retreated that piece of land, just to set up the waterwheel in Shahe Village. .In this way, our two families will not be in the spotlight, and they don't have to be afraid of us in the spotlight."

Qin Ergui was dissatisfied and said: "Didn't we use all the waterwheels sent by my sister-in-law's family that time? The land in Shahe Village is good, and they must live there. They can't live in the rented land just because of you." .” Who doesn’t install the waterwheel in their own land, but install it in the rented field?

Qin Sanshun said: "Anyway, I won't go, you guys go. The sister-in-law's family is good to you, but not to me." The second elder brother's family, Qin Chan and Xiuli, both weave and make money there, and they didn't say they came to their own house Xiujuan is going.

Qin Ergui said: "Whatever you want, I will go with Dad."

Old Qin's anger turned out to be angry, but the old family's life is better, and the second's family's is also in the light.

Although Liu Shi did not allow him to intervene, she still respected him and asked people to send things to him and the old lady every now and then.

Moreover, everyone respected him more when he went out. Even Uncle Zhou was more enthusiastic than before when he saw him. He could see that there was a little more eagerness and sincerity in his eyes, and even a little bit of envy and jealousy.

When Uncle Zhou saw him that day, he chatted cordially for a long time and asked him if he was in the mood to let Daye go to Zhou's house to work again.

This time I don't work as a helper, but as a steward.

Old Qintou still had this bit of self-knowledge, although he thought it was a good thing, but he thought it was better to ask Dafang and his wife to see what their attitude was, so as not to take the job by himself, and then Liu would disagree.

It's just that he was still a little angry because of the work he had done for the third child's family, so he didn't have anything to say.

When Mrs. Zhang found out, she advised him, "You see, everyone is busy with work now. There are so many jobs in the fields and weaving workshops. There is no time to be a steward. Stewards are also slaves, and they let people shout around. Yes, don't go!"

Old Qintou didn't expect that the old woman would look away, so he didn't insist on it, and didn't mention it to Dafang.

Of course, Mrs. Zhang can take it easy. If she goes to the Zhou family to be a steward, her own family will be a head lower than the Zhou family.

Anyway, the old Qin's family has started to get better, so there is no need to flatter or please.

Now that the Feng family respects their own family a lot, the Zhou family is nothing!

Qin Ergui and Lao Qintou went to Shahe Village, and a large circle of people surrounded the river, with black heads.At this time, after all, such a large waterwheel was not common, and there were only two or three in each village.

Shahe Village is owned by the Qi family, Yangliu Village is owned by the Ren family, and Taoyuan Village is owned by the Zhou family.But now there is Liumofang in Yangliu Village, and the Qin family in Taoyuan Village.So everyone felt curious and went over to join in the fun.

Today is an auspicious day, Lao Liutou and Liu Fei, Third Grandpa and Liu Hongmu, and two other carpenters were sent here together.

Qin Xian had to take a vacation to see the water tanker. He and Qin Ye set off firecrackers, and then invited a few craftsmen who professionally installed the water tanker to go into the water and install the water tanker.Xiuyao also asked her third grandpa to do it after surveying the place to facilitate the installation of bobbins. Although the Shahe River is not as big as the Daqing River, it has not been done all year round, and it is not as deep as the Daqing River.We dug a water tank by the river, lowered wooden piles, erected waterwheels, wooden water tanks, and then dug a water diversion tank on the ground, so that water can be continuously drawn into the ground.

The people next to the Qin family shouted: "Uncle Qin, help us water the land too."

Qin Dafu said with a smile: "You dig the water tank and lead it yourself. Anyway, the water wheel is always turning here. If you need water, you can lead it there, and if you don't need it, you can block the water tank."

Everyone agreed, and they all took shovels to dig the water tank. They first helped the Qin family dig, and then they went to the far distance. Everyone was very happy.

The reason why Xiuyao asked the third grandpa to help do this is also because the terrain here is suitable, and the maintenance of a large water wheel is more convenient than two with chains, and it is not easy to break.

Xiuyao, Xiurong and the others looked happily at their work, Xiuyao said to Xu Erni and Xiuxian: "Sister-in-law, second sister, you can plant some vegetables in the fields here, so that it is convenient to eat vegetables in the weaving workshop. It’s good for the second sister to dig.”

Xu Erni smiled and said, "Of course it's fine. If it weren't for the sutras, we would all want to plant them in the yard."

The weaving workshop has been on the right track, and the female workers are full of energy. Now a machine of cloth is almost finished, and it will have to be delivered to the county in a few days.Now the female workers have agreed to pool money to buy food and hire an old lady to cook together. Xiuyao asked Xiuxian to go to Granny Chang and pay [-] wen a month.Three hundred Wen is not a lot, but it is not a lot, especially in a place like the countryside, even if it is worth five hundred, there is no way no one can hire it.Moreover, the servants hired by some big families, women who do rough work, usually cost two to three hundred yuan a month.

So Granny Chang is still very happy, and there are even other mothers-in-law who want to go and voluntarily lower the price.But Xiuxian refused, so she took a fancy to Grandma Chang.Xiuyao was a little skeptical. The second sister wanted to get Granny Chang to work for her. She would feel good about it. After all, the two of them were chased all over the street by Granny Chang with broom bumps.

In autumn, the days are shorter and the nights are longer. Two or 30 people help together to set up water trucks and dig ditches, and it will be dark.Qin Dafu and his family thanked each other, and everyone went to their own homes.

Because the water truck of the Qin family was installed here, the prices of nearby lands have increased accordingly, which can be regarded as an unintentional gain.

A few days later, the first machine was finished, and the female workers were very excited. Xiuyao specially asked them to take a day off to go home and reunite with their families, and then come back to prepare the second machine.

She asked Qin Ye to go to Qi Wei's house to hire a mule cart, and took 23 looms to the county, including sixteen looms in the weaving house, six looms in the grandmother's house, and one loom from Qin.In addition, Xiuyao bundled up the top tender heads of Artemisia sativa, some were fresh, some had been dried, and some had been made into small pickles. .

Early in the morning, Qin Dafu, Qin Ye, Qin Ergui and Qin Decai escorted them all the way in a donkey cart, and arrived safely in the county.Everyone ignored the rest and went to Fengjiabu Village first.

Shopkeeper Feng has already said hello, and the price has been negotiated. Even if the Feng family doesn't accept it, it will be considered Second Grandma's own, so Xiuyao's delivery of the goods went smoothly.A total of more than 70 taels of silver, Xiuyao calculated that after deducting the cost, she could earn about 48 taels, and after deducting various dividends, she could earn about 27 taels.

This time it was for test machine, so the pattern she set was a little simple. Later, when the female workers are suitable, she will start to increase the difficulty, but she must also be careful not to be too complicated.The tricks that are too complicated will not take advantage. Xiuyao only picks the tricks that are popular now, so that she can also make money.

After delivering the fabric, Xiuyao asked her second uncle to eat noodles at Boss Wang's first, while she went to find Langzhong Sun with Qin Dafu and Qin Ye.

This time Langzhong Sun was at home, so he was very happy to see her here, especially after hearing Xia Wu said that she would come to visit him and give him gifts every time he went to the county, he felt very comfortable.

Before Xiuyao came, she had discussed with her parents and brought all the money owed to Mr. Sun. She asked her father to carry a small scorpion with millet on it and some silver in it.

Xiuyao pushed over, "Grandpa Sun, this is 100 taels."

Sun Langzhong's eyes widened and his beard curled up, "Girl, what are you doing? Why is it hard to owe you money to grandpa grandpa, isn't it?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Grandpa Sun, no one wants to owe money for a lifetime. Besides, you should be the most anxious person." How can there be someone who pays back the money so readily like her?
Sun Langzhong snorted, "No, I like the feeling that you owe me money, take it back, and owe it first."

Qin Dafu and Qin Ye were stunned, and quickly persuaded Sun Langzhong to accept it, as did Xiuyao, "Grandpa Sun, this is not acceptable, everyone wants to get the money back quickly, there is no one like you."

Sun Langzhong patted the table, "I am willing, what's the matter? Look at me, old man, stupid!"

Xiuyao hurriedly said that she didn't dare.

Grandpa Sun raised his beard and said, "Come here, Xia Tian, ​​and exchange the money into bank notes for them." After speaking, he said to Xiuyao: "There is only one Datong Bank in the county, and that is a time-honored bank that is common throughout the country. , The family has a strong family background, if you change it into a bank note, you can directly pick up the money wherever you go, you don’t need to carry it around all day like you, what to do if one is lost. This is my money.”

Xia Tian Wu took the little scorpion to change the banknotes, Sun Langzhong looked at the salt wormwood again, tasted it, and said with a smile: "Not bad. I also ate the barley you sent last time, it was very delicious. Thank you, thank you, thinking of my old man."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Grandpa Sun, of course we are thinking of you, no, we are also thinking of you when it comes to making money. Promote it for us." Using Langzhong Sun as a living sign of a miracle doctor is definitely better than any advertisement make.

Sun Langzhong smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, safekeeping will make it easy for you to sell."

At this time, there was a long queue to see the doctor, Sun Langzhong went to the clinic unwillingly, and said to Xiuyao, "Girl, bring these Artemisia salts here." He then asked Qin Dafu and Qin Ye to take a rest.

Xiuyao was puzzled, but she still went there. Dr. Sun began to see a doctor. When he saw a fat and fat old man, Dr. Sun prescribed a prescription. Suaeda salsa.

The drug boy came to ask strangely, Sun Langzhong squinted and said: "That's not it."

The drug boy hurriedly went to buy it from Xiuyao. Naturally, the money was counted by the patient. Xiuyao knew a little about the effects of Suaeda salsa. It does have the effects of lowering blood sugar and blood pressure, preventing heart disease, and increasing immunity. Regular consumption is beneficial to the body Health, help people live longer.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Sun Langzhong to prescribe such a medicine primer. Like those patients with high blood sugar and high blood pressure, it is naturally beneficial to take it, and his price is not high.

Xiuyao did some calculations, and found that it was worth about twelve cents a catty.She doesn't want to make more money, she can just exchange the ten or so acres of salt wormwood at home for money.Waiting for Sun Langzhong to quickly see more than a dozen patients, six of them prescribed Artemisia saponica as a medicine primer and ate half a catty of it as a vegetable every day.

If people are too poor and eat coarse grains every day, it is not easy to get that kind of disease, but they are more malnourished.

Most of what Xiuyao brought was sold, and Sun Langzhong also had to take a breather. Xiuyao poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Grandpa Sun, our salt wormwood is sold out. I will give you [-]% of the money. Every time I come here, I will give it to Xia Wu."

Sun Langzhong rolled her eyes, "I'm not as obsessed with money as you are, so take it."

But Xiuyao refused, and said: "If you don't want Grandpa Sun, then I will donate it to those lonely old people in the nearby villages in your name." I heard that Grandpa Sun is also a widower. Looking for a wife for him, Xiuyao smiled when she thought of this.

Sun Langzhong immediately asked: "Why are you smirking?"

Xiuyao hurriedly waved her hands, "Nothing. If you're okay, Grandpa Sun, I'll go and deliver some Artemisia salt to the Feng family's second grandma, and bring them some pickles for a change of taste."

Sun Langzhong snorted, "So it's not just me."

Xiuyao hurriedly said: "Of course it's just to see you, and then I will give them something. Our cloth is also given to shopkeeper Feng."

Langzhong Sun benefited from this, and said: "I think it's getting late, you should go back quickly, I'll let Xia Tian help you deliver that Artemisia saline."

Naturally, Xiuyao couldn't be happier, "By the way, please ask Xia Wu to help me ask Second Grandma, Fourth Young Master, Miss Feng, Young Master Ning, Shopkeeper Feng how well they are." None of them can be left behind, otherwise they will have to deal with it.

Hearing her talk about so many people, Sun Langzhong was unhappy and said: "Girl, you know a lot of people."

Xiuyao laughed and said, "Grandpa Sun, it's so-so. I have the best relationship with Grandpa Sun."
