cultivated land
There were more of these little ones in the family, and after the elder brother and Yang Zhuo left, they went to the edge of the field to hunt a basket of pigweed (wild vegetables that animals can eat), and went home to chop the pigweed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Boil a large pot of water, put the chopped pigweed into the boiling water when the water boils, add the okara, two sweet potatoes and a piece of pumpkin until it is rotten.
When my mother saw such a thick pig food, she was distressed and said that it was too bad for the grain.
Lu Yan straightened her waist and said:
"Look at me, like a waste of food? Little piglets don't stretch their muscles, and they have to lay a good foundation at this time, so that they can grow fast in the future. And it's not a long-term standard, so you're going to worry about it. ”
In fact, Qi said that. This family is supported by her daughter, and her daughter said that it was no problem, so she would not express her opinion.
While the mother was going to feed the piglets, she dug up some earthworms, cut them into small pieces, and fed them to the chickens with dried tofu. Chickens fed in this way will definitely grow faster and fatter than other people's domestic ones.
Thinking of the three little piglets, Lu Yan thought that if there were sweet potato leaves and radishes to feed together, they would grow faster. Thinking of this, Lu Yan pondered the few acres of land she had just purchased
Four dry land, one acre of sweet potatoes, one acre of potatoes, one acre of cabbage, radish, spinach, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, beans, coriander, bitter gourd, etc. The remaining one acre has not yet thought about what to plant, so it will be put aside, and six acres of paddy fields will of course be planted with rice.
The next day, after making tofu, he asked Yang Zhuo to go to Bashang Town to deliver tofu. Together with his mother, he went to buy all kinds of seeds after delivering the pig's large intestine.
When buying seeds, to Lu Yan's surprise, she actually found cotton seeds. But pretend to ask the boss what kind of seed it is.
The boss is also a good person, and after he hurriedly brought the cotton seeds, he said with a smile:
"This, don't you say I forgot, this is a new variety issued by the imperial court last year, let everyone try to breed, anyway, I don't need money, I collected some. As a result, everyone is busy working blindly, and there is no fruit,
And there were one or two white flowers on the branches, and when it rained, they would rot. If you need it, I'll give it to you. However, the ugly words are ahead, if you plant badly, you can't rely on me. ”
"Boss, I'm just curious, anyway, if you put it here, it will be broken, so it's okay to plant a little fun for me. ”
The boss stuffed a whole bag of cotton seeds to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan thought to herself, just planting another acre of cotton. It's a practical thing.
But there is a problem: I don't have farming tools at home, and the mother and daughter have to cultivate so much land, and when will they get it? Thinking of this, Lu Yan told her mother that she had other things to deal with, so she walked towards her teeth, maybe Zhang Daneng could help find some people to work on.
Zhang Daneng listened to Lu Yan's request and immediately said that this was not a problem.
After Zhang Daneng's explanation, Lu Yan learned that the dental store would also sign some agreements with some laborers, and these laborers could introduce some jobs through the dental store in their spare time, as long as they paid a certain amount of money to the dental store.
Employers who are looking for work through dental shops can also get a guarantee from dental shops. You can use it with confidence, as long as you pay 2 cents to the tooth bank according to the head.
In terms of wages, for work like farming, there are 20 wen a day for Chinese food, 15 wen a day for Chinese food, and 25 people a day for each person, and the forage for the cattle for a day.
Lu Yan silently calculated in her heart, and then went to pick people under the leadership of Zhang Daneng. After a while, Lu Yan made a choice, all of them were relatively sturdy and had calluses on their palms, and they looked more honest.
In addition, you need to bring a ploughing cow, five people are in charge of lunch, and 10 yuan is paid to the tooth bank according to the rules.
After choosing, he instructed the five of them to wait for Lu Yan under the crooked neck tree in Chenjiawan Village tomorrow, and if someone asked them what they did, they must not tell the owner their name or appearance, so they said that they were passing by to rest.
Although the five of them thought that this little girl's instructions were very strange, they didn't ask too much, and it was the owner who gave the money, and besides, it was not difficult, so they agreed to it.
The next day, Lu Yan woke up earlier than usual, but Yang Zhuo was already waiting outside the door. Lu Yan asked Yang Zhuo to grind soy milk alone today, and she ran to the entrance of the village.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and when they arrived at the entrance of the village, five people were already waiting there. Lu Yan expressed satisfaction with this.
He brought five directly to the field, confirmed that the cattle had eaten the fodder, that everyone had eaten breakfast, and affirmed several rules to be followed:
First, you can't be lazy, if you find out, you can pay as much salary as you want
Second, finish work early and finish it early, on the contrary, if you don't finish it, you will finish it late
Third, absolutely obey Lu Yan's deployment, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask
After no doubt, everyone made a simple division of labor: one person pears for half an hour, rotate after half an hour, and the other four people were responsible for leveling the ground and digging according to the width required by Lu Yan. Lu Yan watched them operate for two quarters of an hour from the side, and only then did they leave until they met Lu Yan's requirements.
Worried that Yang Zhuo would not be able to do it alone, Lu Yan hurried home, to Lu Yan's surprise, Yang Zhuo had already finished grinding soybean milk and filter residue, and was about to cook soy milk, so Lu Yan was so frightened that Lu Yan hurried over: "I will do the work of cooking soy milk." "Don't worry, Lu Yan still remembers the last time she cooked porridge.
Boil the soy milk, put it at a temperature and marinate, and the tofu is formed. Put the old tofu in the brine. Doing these is becoming more and more proficient, three times five divided by two, and still let Yang Zhuo deliver the goods alone.
Lu Yan knew that if she wanted the horse to run, she would let the horse graze, so as soon as Yang Zhuo went out with her front foot, Lu Yan took the guy with her back foot and walked to the lower reaches of the Sancha River.
After catching two carp, 15 Kei Wai shrimp and two crabs, he hurried home.
Braised carp, shrimp and crab porridge, hot and sour bracken, stir-fried wild celery, hot and sour bean dregs, 25 potato cakes.
In addition, Lu Yan asked her mother to make a big bowl of hot and sour pork intestines and a large jar of bone broth in the morning. Anyway, it doesn't cost a lot of money.
Not long after cooking, Yang Zhuo came back, Lu Yan saw Yang Zhuo sweating because he was in a hurry, and felt guilty, so he divided a carp, a stir-fried wild celery, pulled out some fat intestines, five potato cakes and two bowls of bone broth for him to take home to eat.
He set aside his mother and his own portions, thinking that the dishes were a little less, so he made another wild celery and added a "duck's foot board". Along with the porridge and bone broth, they were put into a basket and sent to the ground.
When she came to the ground, she smelled the smell of freshly turned soil, and then looked at the ground that had been half completed, Lu Yan nodded secretly.
He put down his burden, took out a piece of cloth from one of the baskets, which his mother had sewn with the head of the cloth in her spare time, spread it on a relatively flat grass, and called the five of them over for lunch.
The five of them had breakfast early and worked all morning, and it was absolutely a lie to say that they were not hungry. After washing his hands indiscriminately, wiping a handful of sweat on his forehead, he walked over.
"Drink soup before eating. ”
"Little owner, we've already drunk water. ”
To be honest, the so-called soup that the owner gave to short-term workers in these years was to add a little salt, and the oil star could not be seen.
Lu Yan didn't reply, and concentrated on filling the first bowl of soup. It was handed to a person next to him who was not very talkative.
The man was flattered:
"Boss, this can't be helped, I'll come by myself. ”
Lu Yan looked at the outstretched hand, there was mud on it, and frowned:
"Hand wash it before eating. The disease enters from the mouth. ”
The person next to him hurriedly took out his hand, and without waiting for Lu Yan to speak, he consciously went to wash his hands.
It used to be like this, the croppers didn't care about this, and the owner was really poor and exquisite.
When I came back, I picked up the soup that was placed on the cloth, and I didn't look closely, but I reluctantly took a sip. I took a closer look at the soup, it was milky white and there was no oil. I drank it all in one go, and I even called it delicious.
Then the five of them took the empty bowls and looked expectantly at the two bamboo baskets.
Lu Yan saw that all five people had drunk it, so she brought out two portions of green vegetables first, a trace of disappointment flashed on the faces of the five people, Lu Yan saw their expressions in her eyes, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Followed by braised carp, seeing that it was fish, the hearts of the five people sank, and the package was generally two or three dishes, but when I saw that the two green vegetables were wild vegetables, plus a very fishy fish, I met such an owner, and I made do with it today.
Seeing that Lu Yan's hand was still stretched into the basket, the five of them were not a little curious, the dishes were so shabby, and the staple food was even more hopeless.
This time, I guessed wrong, it was hot and sour pork intestines, hot and sour bracken, hot and sour bean dregs, and fifteen golden potato cakes.
This time, the expressions of several people were stunned, except for the bracken, the other two dishes were not recognized, and the golden cake, which could not be seen as a cake.
But the standard of six dishes and one soup, this is really a very high standard, and there are also cakes.
Lu Yan motioned for them to hand the bowl back, and began to serve porridge, each bowl guaranteed to have shrimp. Bury it under the porridge. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and coriander.
The person who drank a sip of porridge didn't have the heart to think about anything else, just wanted to finish the second bowl quickly, but found that the person next to him seemed to be faster than him.
"Yes, you have to drink so urgently, you can't usually eat these dishes. ”
As a result, everyone coincidentally sandwiched a piece of potato cake, which seemed too obvious, so they sandwiched bracken.
"The fish should be eaten quickly, it will not taste good when it gets cold. ”
Three of you, you look at me, I look at you, one plucked up the courage to stretch out his chopsticks towards the fish, and took a bite under the gaze of several pairs of eyes.
It melts in the mouth, the meat is tender and very flavorful, without a trace of fishy smell, so I ate most of the fish at once. When others saw this, no matter how stupid they were, they knew delicious.
The fish that were so difficult to handle were like this, and the other dishes must be no worse, and everyone reached for the brown bowl with their chopsticks in the sauce.
After taking a bite, his tongue suddenly became fragrant! But in a moment, the lunch brought by Lu Yan was swept away.
"Host, your dish is so delicious, it's more sumptuous than our New Year. In the future, if you still have a job, we are willing to come, and it doesn't matter if the salary is less, as long as you take care of the lunch. ”
A young man in his early twenties said, and the others agreed.
"As long as you behave well, I will naturally give priority to you and will not treat you badly, on the contrary, if there is anyone who violates the rules, don't blame me for being polite.
Several of them promised to do a good job. They were given a quarter of an hour's rest, but now they refuse to rest, but work harder.
Although this land is planted every year, it is very poor, and we must find a way to improve it.
The pigs at home are small, there is not much pig manure, and there is no cow dung, so this cow is a rare thing. There are generally only a few in a village. There are no poultry, and there are ......... That's right!
I've been busy all day, and I'll inquire about this tomorrow.
