The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 107 The Road to Studying (1)
Regarding what to do in the next period of time, Su Ling also has a clear plan. First of all, it is the time for the slack season, and the dried bamboo shoots workshop can be fully operational. Before, it was just a few people making small noises The production is only enough for the use of Tianyue Restaurant. Now that Su Ling wants to swallow the market in the county, it must expand the production, and the fish pond should also be filled with fish, and the lotus pond can also grow lotus root.

Su Ling is not the kind of person who only fantasizes but does not put it into action, she is the kind of character who does what she says.

Early the next morning, he asked Su's father to lead the family's long-term workers to the Huaxi River to catch fish fry. At this time, the weather was gradually getting warmer, but the river water was still a bit cold. Suddenly, instead of appointing one person to go salvage, they were divided into two groups.

It is impossible to fill the three fish ponds with fish all at once. The Su Ling caught today was cooperated with by others, and each fish pond should put some of them down. It's not just put in randomly, if it's not put properly, the big fish will bite the small fish, and the fish will not be able to keep alive, so there is a ratio of how many kinds of fish should be put in the octopus pond, Su Ling said Let the long-term workers stock them according to this ratio.

"Shopkeeper, have the lotus root seeds I brought back from the carriage from the south last time arrived?" Su Ling asked.

"It's already here. I thought I'd send it to you today, but I didn't expect you to come this time, and the boss is here too." Shopkeeper Qian replied, "Come on, I'll take you to see if it's like this. "

Shopkeeper Qian led Su Ling to the backyard, where the big wooden barrel was full of lotus roots.

"Look, isn't it like this?" Shopkeeper Qian asked, as a shopkeeper of a restaurant, it's natural that he doesn't even know lotus root, it's just that it's rare, and he was too sure.

"Yes, yes, it's like this." Su Ling looked at the bucket of lotus roots very excitedly, and now her mind was full of the fragrance of lotus in summer, picking lotus in the pond and so on.

After Su Ling gave the money for the lotus root seeds to Shopkeeper Qian, he asked someone to carry the bucket of lotus seeds into the car. In order to ensure the survival rate of the lotus seeds, the wooden barrels were filled with water and soaked After waiting for so long, Su Ling was afraid that the lotus seeds would be damaged without the mud, so he hurriedly transported the lotus seeds back to plant.

It just so happened that one of the long-term workers hired before was good at planting lotus roots, Su Ling asked him to lead the team, and taught everyone the depth and density of planting lotus roots.

Although it is a large wooden bucket of lotus seeds, the lotus pond has eight acres. These lotus seeds are definitely not enough. Therefore, there may be more than one mu of lotus pond left without lotus roots.

Of course, Su Ling will not let these lands go to waste, she has asked people to bring back lotus root seeds from the south, but this batch may grow slower.

But after 20 days, I still brought back the lotus root seeds. Of course, Su Ling was not idle during these 20 days. When I learned that Su Dong was admitted to Tongsheng, Xuanyuanmo and Duanmuyu were sent to me. Congratulations, Su Dong and Su Ling went to visit again.

"Father, the family is not too busy now. Eldest brother should also prepare to go to school, but the school in the town is obviously not suitable for elder brother, so I want to send elder brother to the county seat." Su Ling said, previously in the county seat The purpose of buying a house in the town is to make it easier for Su Dong to go to school. Although there are schools in the town, the education is not as good as that in the county.

"You need to ask your elder brother's opinion on this, and your mother, so you should tell her well, don't let her worry." Su's father was worried that Su's mother would stay away from her to study in the county until Su Dong, and was afraid that she would be hurt. no.

"Well, I know, brother also has his own plans."

In this way, it was agreed that Su Dong should go to school in the county.

Su's mother was very reluctant to part with Su Dong. In the end, Su Dong was helpless, and the sweet potatoes at home were almost ready to be planted, so Su Dong agreed to stay until he finished his work at home before going to school.

In the past few days, people have come to ask when they can buy sweet potato seedlings every day. They didn't sell them because they were afraid that it would be too late. After Father Su's repeated assurances, everyone was relieved.

Finally, it was time to cut the sweet potato seedlings. Father Su led a dozen long-term laborers on the few acres of sweet potato seedlings. Each of them took a knife in his hand and cut off the long sweet potato seedlings one by one, stacking them neatly. open.

This large area of ​​sweet potato seedlings is growing very well, probably enough for the villagers of Huaxi Village to plant. After these sweet potato seedlings were cut, they were weighed on the field and brought back to be planted.

Many people started planting in the first season, and they didn't dare to take more. They just took thousands of seedlings. Su Ling also knew the economic situation of the villagers in Huaxi Village, so he didn't dare to charge too high a price for sweet potato seedlings. Now is the promotion period, and the price is too high, which is not conducive to promotion.

"Uncle, how many acres do you plan to plant at home?" Every Su Ling who came to buy sweet potato seedlings would first ask about the planting area of ​​their home, and then buy how many sweet potato seedlings according to the amount of land planted, so as not to spend too much I wasted money to buy sweet potato seedlings, and it won't make it impossible for other people who want to buy sweet potato seedlings to buy them.

"I just started planting for the first time this year, let's plant half an acre first! Ling'er called it suitable." The simple man laughed.

"Okay, I'll prepare a little more for you first, and if you have extra, you can get it back, and I will refund the money." Su Ling was worried that if her calculation method was used, if the villagers' planting intervals were about the same It will definitely be enough, but I am afraid that some of them will be planted more sparsely and some will be more densely planted, so she will weigh more for each villager who comes, and will tell them She promises to refund the money if any leftovers are brought back.

The newly purchased land of Su Ling's family was also planted with sweet potatoes, and the sweet potato seedlings that Su Ling promised to send to Wang Mu also sent someone to deliver them the day they first cut the sweet potato seedlings, and specially asked a long-term worker to follow them. In the past, tell them how to plant.

This year's sweet potato seedlings were raised earlier, so the Dragon Boat Festival came after the sweet potatoes were planted. It's the holidays. Although the anxious brothers in the old house have separated to live their own lives, no matter what, the broken bones are still connected. !So gift giving is essential.

Mother Su treats her brothers equally, and in the past few years, she has launched a new variety of rice dumplings in the delicious dim sum shop, so the four brothers' families gave each family five rice dumplings and two packets of dim sum. Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Su prepared eight zongzi, one piece of pork, four packs of dim sum, and five liang of silver.

Mother Su also knew very well that after this separation, the life of Mrs. Liang and Grandpa Su might be more difficult. Originally, there was no money to distribute to each family, but in the end Su Qin didn't know what caused the trouble. Mrs. Liang gave him another ten taels of silver. Mother Su reckoned that it was the old house, not to mention all of it, but also a large part of it. a copper plate.
