Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 243

The next day, Wang Fu and his wife started to look for people in the village closest to the wasteland.

Since they wanted to build a house, they had to cut down some trees to make lumber. Of course, Li Xin also asked Wang Fu and his wife to ask for some lumber if they had ready-made lumber.

Li Xin is in charge of recruiting people to reclaim the wasteland, and it is not difficult to recruit people.Rural people are more relaxed after the autumn harvest.In winter, most people just chop some firewood and keep it for use, because when the farming is busy, they naturally have no time to chop firewood.However, ordinary people can't burn much firewood throughout the year, so how can a whole family chop a whole winter!

And many families are very far away from the mountains and forests. As long as you have a little spare time during the day, you can get some firewood and go home.

Soon a lot of people were recruited, and some of them helped cut down the trees to make the wood for building the house. The trees that could be used as wood were straighter trees, and the pillars were even thicker.However, the rafters and the like do not need to be very thick, so it is not difficult to choose some good wood for several forests.

Just picking some felling will not damage the environment.

The other part of the people naturally cultivated the fields.Li Xin also hired two women to cook, and those who came to work here could provide a lunch.The people who come here don't necessarily live close together. Naturally, breakfast will be eaten at home, and dinner can also be eaten at home, but if people go back to eat lunch, it will take too much time.

Although there were a lot of people, it was well organized with Wang Fu and his wife looking after them.Li Xin lived in the wasteland for a few days, so she didn't need to worry too much.

The Mid-Autumn Festival will soon be here, and Li Xin plans to go home.On a reunion day like the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is natural to go back to reunite with her family. If she hadn't gone back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Wenbo people must have opinions.Therefore, Li Xin completely handed over the matter here to Wang Fu and his wife.Ma Long also stayed here. It would be more convenient if Wang Fu and his wife wanted to use a carriage.

Moreover, it is really necessary to keep a carriage here.It is also convenient to have a carriage to go shopping or something.

"Miss, don't worry too much about things here when you go back this time, and have a good reunion festival." Here, Li Xin is leaving too.Sister-in-law Wang kept holding her hand, feeling a little bit reluctant.

"I'm going back for the holidays, but I'm really sorry for letting Brother Wang, Sister-in-law Wang, you and your children not be able to spend the holidays together." Li Xin really felt a little guilty.Wang Fu and his wife wanted to come to the wasteland, and there was nothing here, so it was not easy for the children to come with them.So the child stayed in Zhuangzi. This time, Wang Fu and his wife naturally couldn't go back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the children.

You can't leave people here, Li Xin has already left, so naturally Wang Fu and his wife can't leave.

"It's not a big deal, miss. Don't think too much about it. I missed it this time, and there will be many reunion festivals to celebrate together in the future! Miss, please go back with peace of mind! Don't think about anything else." Sister-in-law Wang laughed. Pat Li Xin's hand.

"Then I'll leave first, and I'll come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Li Xin got into the carriage after all.

In fact, this is just a small separation, and we will see each other in a few days, so there is no need to feel sad.

"Miss, do you think there will be a house built when we come again?" Sitting on the carriage, Caiyun opened the curtain and talked to Li Xin while looking at the scene outside.

"I don't know! Maybe there will be!" Li Xin smiled.If the wood processed from newly felled trees is definitely unusable for the time being, it must be allowed to dry slightly before it can be used.However, the good thing is that I bought some wood in a few nearby villages, and I can start building a house first.

Stone or something is easy to get.Now that the wood and stone are available, it is easy to build a house.In rural houses, almost no one uses bricks, and almost all of them are mud houses.

Maybe the next time I come back, a house has already been built!

This time, it was Bo Wen who was driving the car. Ever since he came here with Li Xin and his party, Bo Wen never went back.This time Li Xin and others were going back to Nanbai County, so Bo Wen naturally went back with him.After all, he is the coachman of the Shi family, so it's not good for him not to go back.

Zhu Yong also sat on the shaft of the chariot, trying to recognize the way again.I've already troubled Bo Wen once, so it's not good to trouble others again in the future.

Back in Nanbai County, Li Xin went back to Yipinzhai first, took some snacks made in Yipinzhai's kitchen, and then went to Shiyaji's house.One is to send Bo Wen back, and the other is to send some mooncakes to the Shiya family.

"Miss Li is busy coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Shiya said with a smile when he saw Li Xin.

"That's right! Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion. Naturally, it's better if the moon and the moon are full. I still want to come back to celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides, I have borrowed the apartment for several days, so it's time to send him back." Li Xin smiled and gave all the mooncakes she brought to Shi Yajia's wife.

"The family doesn't need the apartment for a while, so it's okay for Ms. Li to borrow it for a few more days."

"It's a person, not an object. Naturally, you can't borrow it for a long time without returning it. Besides, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you should let him come back."

Li Xin sat in Shiya's house for a while, then said goodbye and left.Back at Yipinzhai, Caiyun and Caixia had already prepared three Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, one of which was naturally for the Zheng family.Now that the relationship between the Zheng family and the Li family is getting closer, it is time to maintain such a relationship. Naturally, New Year's gifts are indispensable.

The Zheng family had already sent over the gift yesterday, and the gift was relatively generous.

The other two were for the county government, one was for the Guxian Cheng's family, and the other was for the new county magistrate Zhou.

Now that it has been packed, Li Xin thought about sending one copy of Zheng's home to Li Xin herself, and asked Yipinzhai's staff to deliver the other two copies.

"The mooncakes made by Yipinzhai are delicious, even better than those sold outside." Sitting in the courtyard, Caiyun said while eating mooncakes.

The mooncakes of Yipinzhai are also sold outside, and they are all packed in exquisite boxes, which look very high-end, and of course, the price is not cheap.There are many flavors of mooncakes in the storage box, and most of them are packed one by one.That is to sell outside, so there are many types of mooncakes, and they are also very delicate.

A moon cake is small, at most two or three bites.But you can eat the next one after a few bites, but it is also good to make it small, so you can taste more flavors.

"How much have you eaten outside? Just say something like this." Li Xin poked Caiyun's forehead.It's okay to say this at home, but if people outside listen to it, I'm afraid they will make trouble.People who sell things, you can praise what you sell, but you can't belittle what others sell at will. This can be regarded as a principle!

In this case, it is not aimed at anyone, but once someone else hears it, I am afraid that someone will take a seat with suspicion.

"Caiyun, don't talk nonsense all the time. This kind of talk is fine at home, but when you go outside, don't keep talking like this." Caixia also stared at Caiyun.

Li Xin ate two pieces of moon cakes, then went back to the house and changed her clothes, and then went out with Caiyun and Caixia with the Mid-Autumn festival ceremony.

The carriage was walking on the streets of the county seat, and Li Xin also raised the curtain of the carriage to look at the scene outside.The street is still as lively as ever, the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus is brought by the wind, and the fragrance is intoxicating.There are children on the street selling flowers with flower baskets, including yellow osmanthus, chrysanthemums of various colors, and bunches of tied jasmine, etc.

Jiangnan is a unique place. In special seasons, there will be people selling all kinds of flowers on the street. "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty" is probably such a scene!Although it wasn't apricot blossoms that were being sold at this time.

"It's really lively!" Li Xin smiled slightly, looking at the crowd walking around.

"It's really lively. After all, it's the festival, and the streets are filled with the aroma of mooncakes!" Caixia also smiled.

"Yes! The aroma of mooncakes is everywhere." Caiyun also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Soon they reached the gate of Zheng's house, Caixia helped Li Xin get out of the carriage, and then she and Caiyun carried the festival ceremony and followed Li Xin into Zheng's house.The members of the Zheng family were already very familiar with Li Xin. When they saw Li Xin coming, they let Li Xin in, and one of them hurried inside to report.

When Li Xin's master and servant arrived at Zheng's upper room and entered the hall, Zheng Xing and his wife were already sitting inside waiting.

"Sister Xin is back! It's only from those people in Yipinzhai that I know you've gone to Yuanzhou." Mrs. Zheng smiled and pulled Li Xin to sit down. "You really have free time to toss a piece of wasteland."

Li Xin sat down and said, "Although it's still a wasteland now, it won't be a wasteland any more soon. When it becomes lively there, I'll let my uncle and aunt go over there to have a look."

"Okay, I'm really curious about what you'll turn the wasteland into! I'm definitely going to have a look at that time."

"Sister Xin, don't be in a hurry to make money, and don't be too tired from running around. You should rest when it's time to rest. You are still young, if you wear yourself out, you will suffer in the future. "Zheng Xing scolded Li Xin with a straight face.

"I know what my uncle said. I'm not very tired now, and I'm sure I won't be exhausted. Uncle and aunt don't have to worry about me all the time. I'm fine." Regarding the love from Zheng Xing and his wife, Li Xin was still very grateful.They have no blood relationship with her, but they have always treated her very well and helped her a lot.
