The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 138 Don't Touch Me (1)
Mrs. Zhou nodded, seeing that Su Hongling's face was not looking well, she comforted her, "Hongling, sit down, mother will talk to you for a while."

Li Caiwei supported Su Hongling to sit down, Yang had always held a grudge against Li Caiwei, conspired with Liu Chunhong, and unexpectedly failed to defeat her. "Caiwei, Sanniang has to blame you. When you helped Jiaxuan find a wife, you just found someone and dragged her home. Look now, Hongling can't give birth to a child, and it was wasted for five years. If this I gave birth to a child, and the child is five years old."

Yang glanced at Li Caiwei, "You're not too young yourself, Jia Cheng went back to find his parents, he probably married a daughter of some family long ago, and the children may all come out, so he should think about himself." "Sanniang, I need to worry about everything outside the house. I don't have time to think about my own affairs."

Yang was choked up, and pointed at Su Hongling, "Hongling, it's not that Sanniang is cruel, it's your mother's intention to find a wife for Jiaxuan, so don't blame me then."

"San Niang, I understand."

Mrs. Zhou peeled the green beans and handed them to Jiahui, "Jiahui, take them in and wash them first."

"Hongling, your Sanniang helped Jiaxuan find a wife. I won't hide it from you. I'll let you go and have a look tomorrow. If you are satisfied, then the marriage will be settled like this. If you are not satisfied, then we will see if there is any. Nothing else fits."

"Mom, I'll listen to you."

"Well, you know that you are wronged in your heart. In the past five years, you have been busy with things outside the house, and you have never been idle for a day. You are the big one, and the new wife is the small one."

"Mom, I understand."

"I've been living here with Caiwei all these years. Since I want to marry a new wife, I definitely can't continue to live here. There are several vacant rooms in the old house. Later, you can help clean it up, buy furniture, new beds, etc. Leave it to you to do it."

"I see."

"Er Niang, let me do it. Sister-in-law has to help the family cook."

"That's fine, Caiwei, I'll rest assured that I'll leave it to you."

Yang objected, "Caiwei, it's unlucky that this unmarried daughter-in-law can't help prepare the wedding room. Second sister, why are you so confused?"

"Caiwei, mother, let me come. After all, Caiwei has never been married, so I don't know the rules of etiquette."

"Sister-in-law, but..."

Su Hongling comforted, "Caiwei, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

On the second day, Li Caibin arranged the workers into five groups according to the division of labor and the area for planting fruit trees, and the remaining group planted lotus roots.

The farm has officially started construction. At present, the size of the farm is not too large. Li Caiwei plans to lease the villagers' land in the form of lease. This will not only help the village get rich, but also solve the livelihood of some villagers.

Early in the morning, she took her plan to the village head's house.

When Liu Baoxiang, the village head, saw her coming, he immediately asked his daughter-in-law to come out with a stool, "I'm a daughter-in-law, what do you want from me?"

The village head's daughter-in-law has always had complaints about her son since her son fell ill. When she saw her come to the house, she immediately put on a serious face.The year before last, the village chief misappropriated the money used to repair the temple in the village to treat his son's illness. The villagers knew that they almost burned the village chief's house. It was she who came forward to let the village chief keep his position. .

"Village Chief, this is a plan that I rushed out overnight. Take a look. Let me tell you the general content."

The village head nodded, and took a look at the plan, "Jia Cheng's wife, tell me first, what is this plan talking about?"

"Village head, let me do the math. In our village, there are about 160 households belonging to our clan, with about [-] people. Each person has one mu of land, which is eight parts of the mountainous land. Calculated in this way, it is There are [-] mu of land and [-] mu of mountain land. I plan to rent all of these lands in the form of lease and hire these villagers to take care of them. In this way, not only can the village grow rice for generations, but because of the low rice production, it can only be self-sufficient. Planting fruit trees, cultivating fish ponds, and opening up a farm will definitely be better than the current life.”

Village head Liu Baoxiang nodded, "Today, taxes have been raised again, and many villagers can't afford to eat food, but you grow so much fruit...who do you want to sell it to?"

"You can rest assured that I will package the products and sell them all over the country, even to the palace. As long as the palace needs my products, then don't worry about not being able to sell them."

"It's really good, I have an idea."

"Village chief, you have to agree to this matter. It is against the law to lease land privately. If the superiors check it out, you will be jailed. I checked the country's land system and selfish lease is not allowed, so I asked the village chief to help me hide it. .”

"Khan, I have been the village chief for so many years, and I haven't made any contribution to the village. The villagers have been mainly engaged in agriculture for generations, but the life of every family is getting worse every year. There have been natural disasters in the past few years, and I don't know when they will live. I can have a good hope. Being a daughter-in-law, you have a good idea, but I have to discuss it with a few old gentlemen in the village. If the higher-ups find out, I may lose my position and lose my life."

"Then I have to trouble the village chief."

If the village chief agrees to her request, the farm of her dreams can be built, and it will not be in vain to spend all her hard work saving money in the past few years, going from morning to night to sell vegetables in the county town.

After returning home, I looked at the money I had saved over the years.She picked up the jade pendant, and it was a pity to throw it away. It would be better to pawn it, as it can be used as money to help the family.

In order to persuade the villagers of [-] households in the village to rent the land to herself, she decided to do one thing.

At dawn, Li Caiwei grabbed her clothes, turned on the kerosene lamp, untied two sacks of broad beans, took two large water basins, filled each basin with water, poured the broad beans in and cleaned them, and picked out the shriveled or broken ones. , Take out the broken foam on the surface, and after washing it three times, take a large leaking basin and drain the broad beans.

Right now is the time when the crops are not harvested, the winter vegetables are almost eaten, and the spring vegetables have not been planted. If it is this time to send a la carte to the villagers, it is possible to persuade them to agree.Moreover, this soybean paste can be served with rice and can be used as a seasoning. It is a versatile dish.One year before the time travel, she went on a business trip to Sichuan, and saw this kind of soybean paste in a villager's house in Sichuan.

Boil the water, put all the cleaned soybean paste into the boiling pot, after half an hour, dry the boiled broad beans, add starch, stir evenly, and ferment for one day.

She was busy picking up the hot broad beans from the pot, Su Hongling hurried over to help, "Caiwei, what are you doing?"

"Sister-in-law, I am going to persuade the villagers to lease the land to me, but you know, the land is their lifeblood, and it will take a lot of effort to convince them. There are few vegetables at the moment, and everyone has nothing to eat. I want to make some soybean paste Give it to them."
