The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 64

Lin Qiulai put the plow on the ox's back and turned over the three acres of paddy field, and re-strengthened and raised the stems.Fang Yumin and Xiaoyang would lift the stone slabs and plug up all the gaps. Xiaoming was too young to help, but he followed his mother and elder brother with a small bucket.

After all the gaps were plugged, Lin Qiulai poured water into the field until it covered all the soil and rice piles, and then sprinkled some duckweed in the rice field to let them grow in the field.This is to prepare for fish farming in rice fields in autumn and winter.

After finishing these tasks, Dad Dabao, Dad Xiaozhu and the eldest brother brought ten strong men from Wangjia Village to help Lin Qiulai prepare for digging the foundation.

Fang Yumin thought about it carefully, it is unreasonable to calculate the cost of tree cutting by the number of days, and it has to be calculated by piece.This is both fair and mobilizes initiative.

After discussing with Lin Qiulai, Fang Yumin decided: I will pay 5 cents for cutting down a tree, more pay for more work.The more you cut, the more you earn.She asked Lin Qiu to come. If a man works hard, he can cut down 10 trees a day.

Sure enough, after Lin Qiulai told everyone about the method of calculating wages, everyone had a pleasant smile on their faces: If I cut down 10 tree stumps a day, wouldn't I earn 50 coins?

With such encouragement, more than a dozen big men followed Lin Qiu to go up and down to cut trees.

Fang Yumin stayed at home to make concrete, and the chopped wood had to dry for a few days before it could be used. These days, she wanted everyone to help make concrete.Anyway, she knew the ratio herself, and even Lin Qiulai didn't ask her.

Days passed by, and by the time the villagers in Linjia Village had finished their farming activities, the foundation of Fang Yumin's house had already been laid and the walls had even started to be built.

Lin Zhuxin came over to inspect many times, each time staring at those ashes who were hesitant to speak, but blocked the faces of people from other villages, and finally did not ask Lin Qiulai, who was sweating from work.

Fang Yumin is smart, and Lin Zhuxin didn't intend to ask Fang Yumin to find out.He still felt that the honest Lin Qiulai was easier to talk, but unfortunately Lin Qiulai always said that he didn't know, and that he was matched by his wife.

Lin Qiulai didn't ask Fang Yumin anything because he was afraid that he would leak his words. He didn't know anything, and no one would be able to tell if he asked.

"Daughter-in-law Qiulai, your home is really good at making this bamboo." Lin Zhuxin came again this day, and he was not afraid of accidentally dropping a piece of bamboo and hurting him. He just walked around the construction site for a long time before going to dry eggplants Fang Yumin struck up a conversation.

"Thank you, Li Zheng, for your compliment." Fang Yumin straightened up and said to Lin Zhuxin with a smile.

"Cough cough." Lin Zhuxin put his hand to his mouth and coughed a few times, and asked, "Daughter-in-law Qiulai, how did you make this clam?"

Fang Yumin looked at Lin Zhuxin with a half-smile: "Lizheng, every family has one or two technical tasks that are not passed on to outsiders. Lizheng asked this, how would a peasant woman answer you?"

"Eh? So it's a family skill. I'm rude and rude." Lin Zhuxin was hiccupped. It's true that the family skills are not passed on to outsiders. It's really inappropriate for him to ask.Although he was not reconciled, he had no choice but to ask any more questions.

"It's okay. This skill belongs to my Fang family. I didn't even mention Qiulai. Don't be offended by Lizheng."

"No, no. The gray clam in your house is comparable to the green clam. The house will be very stable."

"Cheng Li is right, I hope so."

"Daughter-in-law Qiulai, why are your three acres of rice fields soaked in water? Aren't you going to use them to grow winter wheat and potatoes? It's time to grow wheat after the autumn harvest." Lin Zhuxin asked again.

"There are only four people in my family who can't eat that much grain. Besides, this year is a bumper harvest year, and the price of rice is cheap. No matter how much you grow, you can't sell it for a little money. It is better to spend money to buy grain than to work hard." Fang Yumin also I don't intend to hide the matter of fish farming, in fact, I can't hide it at all, "The three acres of rice fields in my house are going to be used for fish farming."

"Fish farming?" Lin Zhuxin was taken aback. He knew that Lin Qiulai's three acres of rice had raised fish, but he didn't expect that he would directly use the rice field to raise fish without planting crops.

"Yes. The fry can be released in a few days." Fang Yumin nodded.

Lin Zhuxin hurriedly asked, "Where did you get the fish fry?"

"Before I caught some fish fry in the river and raised them in the seedling field, and I kept those small fish when I was fishing." Fang Yumin pointed to the small river and said, "Actually, after a while, the fish in the river I can catch fish too."

"So that's how it is." Lin Zhuxin looked at Fang Yumin and said with a sigh: "Everyone thought that Qiulai's wife was not familiar with farm work, but they all misunderstood. It turns out that Qiulai's wife knows best."

"Lizheng has won the prize. Actually, I really don't understand. Everything is done by Qiulai." Fang Yumin told the truth, but she knew that Lin Zhuxin didn't believe it.What does it matter to her whether he believes it or not?As long as Lin Zhuxin doesn't bother her.

Lin Zhuxin walked away stroking his beard, his eyes rolling wildly and he didn't know what he was thinking?But Fang Yumin didn't want to bother to guess, the boat would naturally go straight when it reached the bridge.She has a cheating device, and she still has a lot of ways to make money in her mind.

When Lin Zhuxin's old fox left, Fang Yumin hurriedly went to the backyard to stir the four jars of soy sauce.Now as soon as the cap of the sauce jar is lifted, you can smell a delicious soy sauce smell.After a whole summer of fermentation, soybeans have been perfectly transformed into amino acids under the action of mycelium.

Fang Yumin tasted it with a small wooden spoon, wow, it's so salty!It was so salty that she couldn't even open her eyes.But she knew that after it was extracted and boiled into soy sauce, the salty taste would turn into savory.

After recording in the small notebook, Fang Yumin put bamboo hats on each sauce jar.

"Mother, mother." Xiao Ming rushed over, followed by the puppy Xiaobai.

"What's the matter? Running so fast?" Fang Yumin turned around, just in time to hug Xiao Ming who rushed into her arms.

Xiao Ming Nian coquettishly flirted with Fang Yumin's arms for a while, and then said: "Another litter of baby rabbits has been born, Brother Xiao Yang asked me to come over and tell you."

"Really?" Fang Yumin asked with a smile, "Have you counted how many there are?"

Xiao Ming made a gesture and said, "Seven of them are all red and their eyes haven't opened yet."

"Really? Then Xiao Ming, hurry up and feed the mother rabbit a nutritious meal. After more than three months, these seven baby rabbits will be able to sell for money again."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

"After feeding the rabbit, go to study with Brother Xiaoyang."

"understood."

Fang Yumin watched Xiao Ming run away, and couldn't help feeling in his heart: that timid child finally became lively.Touching my face, it seems that the skin is not as rough as it was at the beginning. Sure enough, women still don't work too hard, otherwise they will age quickly.

Now Fang Yumin only hopes that everything will develop in the direction she expected. By next spring, she will be able to select the best recipe for soy sauce and brew it in the newly built house.

When the villagers in Linjia Village finished planting autumn potatoes and winter wheat, Fang Yumin's family began to put fish fry in the rice fields.

At this time, the rice roots have been soaked to rot, and the aquatic plants in the rice fields have also grown up, which is a good time to put fish fry.

On the day when the fry were released, Lin Zhuxin brought many villagers to watch.Dad Xiaozhu and a dozen people from Wangjia Village also came to see it. The three acres of land can be said to be three floors inside and three floors outside.

Uncle Damin and Lin Qiulai came over with wooden boxes containing fry, and put the fish and water into the rice field.Fang Yumin and Xiaoyang sprinkled feed such as rice bran and bean dregs into the rice fields.

"Daughter-in-law Qiulai, is this all right?" Villager A asked, and the other villagers also looked at Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin nodded: "Okay, when it's almost the Chinese New Year, you can go fishing."

"Don't worry about it?" Villager B asked.

"How can we ignore it? The feed has to be put in, otherwise what will the fish eat to grow up?" Fang Yumin said with a smile: "In the past, rice was planted, and fish could eat duckweed, pests and rice flowers. Now only fish are raised, so we have to When you go to catch duckweed, you also need to sprinkle some rice sugar or tender grass for the fish to eat."

"So that's how it is. My daughter-in-law Qiulai, how many catties did your family catch last time?" Villager C asked. This time, everyone's eyes were on Fang Yumin's mouth. This is related to the issue of income.

Fang Yumin didn't want to hide it, so she gave a rough figure: "It's about 100 catties, I sold some, and made the rest into dried fish to eat at home."

"Wow, so much."

"How much money do you have to make?"

"A catty of fish costs 5 or 6 renminbi, which is more than the price of three mu of rice."

"Yes, yes, next year our family will also raise fish?"

"It must be grown. See how full the rice is at Qiulai's house today."

"My daughter-in-law, what about the fish fry?" Someone asked a key question, and everyone immediately quieted down and waited with bated breath.

Fang Yumin smiled, pointed to the river beside the rice field and said, "I fished in this river, and there are a lot of fish and shrimp in the river in spring."

After hearing this, everyone started talking again.There is only one river, and there are only so many fish fry. The so-called monks have too many porridge, and everyone is gearing up to catch them in the spring.

Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin didn't talk anymore, it's none of their business anymore.I have already bred it myself, so I will naturally save the seeds, and even Aunt Chunhua's family has prepared them.

In fact, many villagers planned to ask Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin for help, but they were embarrassed.They also figured it out on their own, and now they are successful and tell everyone their experience.And with regard to the fish in the three acres of land, it is estimated that there will not be many fry.Besides, the method of making sweet potato flour was taught by Qiulai's wife.During that slack period, I sold a lot of money.

The villagers were still discussing around the three acres of land, Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin had already left home.On the way, Fang Yumin said to Xiao Zhu's father: "Your village is close to the river, so it's actually the best way to raise fish."

Dabao's father sighed and said, "Qiulai daughter-in-law, you don't understand that there are indeed plenty of fish in our village, but the price is cheap."

"You don't need to sell fresh fish, but dried fish." Fang Yumin came up with an idea: "Dabao daddy, Xiaozhu daddy, if you can provide good quality dried fish, we will find a way to sell it to the inland places. People seldom eat seafood and fresh fish, and this dried fish is well done, and it tastes no worse than fresh fish."

Dabao's father, Xiaozhu's father and the others were overjoyed: "Really? Can you really sell it for money?"

"Of course it is true. In fact, if the timing of the fish harvest is staggered, the price of the fish will be higher." Fang Yumin said, she wanted Dabao, Xiaobao and Xiaozhu to live better. There is such a big gap in life after being with his biological parents; secondly, this is also a way of making money. As long as Lin Qiulai is trained well and asked to sell dried fish in inland counties, there will be supplies and sales. make money?
