The vegetable garden is not very large, and the grass does not grow luxuriantly, so it is not difficult to deal with it in comparison.

Zhao Qingzao is a simple person, since she has made up her mind, there is no reason to be lazy, she immediately returned home, ready to take a hoe and turn the ground first.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw that Shen Changting was still busy copying books, and couldn't help but admonish: "Brother Changting, you write slowly, your hands are not good yet, don't be so desperate, you can't come in a hurry anyway, anyway, there is no new survival in the bookstore, what are you anxious about." ”

"Well, it's okay, I'm not idle. ”

Shen Changting smiled, and seeing that Zhao Qingzao seemed to be very busy, he couldn't help asking, "What are you busy with?"

"It's okay, I'll just look around and see if there's anything to clean up. Zhao Qingzao smiled, she didn't say that she was busy reclamation, she planned to get the small vegetable patch at the door first, and then Shen Changting was mentally prepared and told him about the plan for the future.

Shen Changting naturally didn't notice Zhao Qingzao's careful thoughts, and when he saw this, he didn't ask much, but advised: "Don't be too tired, you are still growing tall, too tired to be careful of becoming a dwarf winter melon." ”

"Cut, no, activity is good for the body. ”

Zhao Qingzao grimaced, immediately took a sip of tea, and ran to the kitchen with a cigarette.

There are not many farm tools at home, they are all left behind, two hoes, a hoe, a hoe, it is very simple, Zhao Qingzao looked at it, and finally took a hoe.

The vegetable patch at her door was very small, and it had been ridged, and although the soil was a little thicker, it was not very hard, and it was enough to have a hoe to pour it down.

But when she came to the vegetable patch with a hoe, she didn't dig twice, and she was immediately embarrassed.

The grass grows fiercely, and it is estimated that I have been panicking for more than half a year, and the soil layer looks loose, but it is not easy to dig.

After digging for more than half an hour, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely, Zhao Qingzao hadn't dug up a small half, and her hands were painful, so she didn't dare to work too hard, worried about grinding blisters.

Then she lowered her strength, and although the soil she dug was a little submerged, fortunately, a layer of weeds on the surface was dug up.

Seeing that she was almost busy, she smiled and immediately went to find Chu Xingshan.

This time she ran into Grandma Niu, and Grandma Niu obviously heard that Zhao Qingzao was going to reclaim wasteland, so she immediately greeted Zhao Qingzao and said: "Qingzao, it's a good thing that you want to open up the wasteland, but can you be busy alone, and then what do you plan to plant, the harvest is not good, and then you will be busy in vain, in case of harvest, you will be compensated." ”

Reclamation of wasteland, even if it is private land, in some years the policy is good, the first two years of reclamation may not be taxed, and if you encounter corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you have to collect taxes on everything you plant, then it is really cruel.

After all, taxation is a thing, but it comes according to the acres of land, but whether you have a harvest or not, unless there is a large-scale natural disaster in the whole area, which alarms the holy driver, it is impossible to be exempt from taxes.

Even if the Holy Driver is alarmed, sometimes at most a little money and food will be allocated, and it will not really exempt much from taxes, not to mention that the above is exempted, and the following should be collected, and no one can help anyone.

After all, there was an unwritten standard for disaster relief in ancient times, that is, if the disaster was very small, it was impossible to provoke a civil uprising, so there would be no disaster relief, let alone tax exemption, unless it was really possible to cause a civil uprising, the emperor would mean it, appease people's hearts, and maintain social stability.

Even if you are lucky and meet a benevolent emperor, sometimes you may not be able to play with the magistrate.

Therefore, the cost of reclamation is very high, but the people sometimes do not have it, and they have to reclaim the land, and gradually, it becomes more and more unbearable.

Zhao Qingzao didn't know anything about it originally, but in her previous life, the Internet was flooded, farming, palace fighting, house fighting, all types of farming, thanks to it, she can also know some fur.

So as soon as she heard Grandma Niu talk about paying taxes, she immediately understood, and immediately smiled: "It's okay, I plan to go to the town to ask, what is the best to plant, and I will discuss with you when the time comes. ”

"In that case, then let it be, by the way, what's the matter with you, you came in a hurry. Grandma Niu saw that what Zhao Qingzao said was very similar to that, so she didn't care anymore.

Zhao Qingzao said: "I plan to ask Brother Chu, if there are any vegetable seedlings or seeds, I have turned over the vegetable plot in my yard, and if I want to ask for some seeds to plant, I will plant some vegetables that I usually eat." ”

"Well, that's good, you're a diligent child. ”

When Grandma Niu heard this, she was immediately happy, it is rare for Zhao Qingzao to be so diligent, and the diligent children are very likable these years.

Chu Xingshan was summoned by Grandma Niu after a while, and as soon as he heard that Zhao Qingzao wanted seeds, he immediately took a little chili seed, plus winter melon seconds, loofah, and some beans, and went back with Zhao Qingzao.

He was not worried about Zhao Qingzao's land, and planned to go over to take a look, and Zhao Qingzao was also half a bucket of water, Zhen Meizhong was really a little confused about these things.

"I'll tell you, now in March, it's a little earlier to plant peppers, but this year it's hot early, it's okay, these winter melon seedlings are ......."

Along the way, Chu Xingshan was very expert in introducing the habits of various dishes to Zhao Qingzao, and Zhao Qingzao listened to it, and hurried in his heart.

In these years, I can't get vegetables out of season, I can only grow what vegetables in what season, and Zhao Qingjujube is small, so there are really not many that can be planted.

When Chu Xingshan came to Zhao Qingzao's house and saw the small vegetable patch in the yard that had just been turned over, he was immediately dumbfounded, waiting for Zhao Qingzao, and said, "This is what you can turn over?"

"Yes, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhao Qingzao was a little dazed.

"The soil is shallow, the grass roots are not dug up, and the grass has to live again in three or five days. Chu Xingshan opened his mouth very speechlessly, with a look of disgust.

Zhao Qingzao was embarrassed, and immediately said, "Then what should I do?"

"Alright, look at me. ”

Chu Xingshan was helpless, remembering that he had received a tael of silver from Zhao Qingjuo, he felt a little guilty, so he simply didn't talk nonsense, picked up the hoe and dug it up violently.

I have to say that planting on the ground, the man has the strength, and he does take a great advantage, Chu Xingshan went down with a hoe, almost dug five inches deep of soil, and the dug up soil was slammed with a hoe, planed twice, and immediately loosened, and then climbed the grass roots and the like to the side alone, and suddenly it became soft and fast soil.

"Awesome, professional is different. ”

Zhao Qingzao sighed in her heart, she had seen someone do this in her previous life, but when it was her turn, she was blinded, not because she didn't know what to do, but because she didn't have enough strength.

"Don't stand still, go get some bamboo poles, wooden sticks are also made, one end is sharpened, bring them to me, and wait for the beans to use later." Chu Xingshan saw that Zhao Qingzao was in a daze, and was busy commanding.

"How long does it be, how thick does it be?" Zhao Qingzao asked a little helplessly.

"Eh, I'll get you a root. ”

Chu Xingshan was speechless for a moment, so he simply asked Zhao Qingzao to find a firewood knife, and he made a demonstration himself.

Bamboo and wood poles and the like, there are a lot of piles at the door of Zhao Qingzao, which are split and used for cooking on weekdays, Chu Xingshan chose some ones that are about a head taller than people, about the thickness of Zhao Qingzao's wrists, relatively straight, one end is sharpened, just put it there, and then let Zhao Qingzao get it himself, he put down the firewood knife and ran to turn over the ground.

The ground is very small, there are only three ridges in total, and they are very fast, one goes back and forth for ten minutes, a total of more than half an hour, Chu Xingshan is busy, and the ditch is finished with a hoe in the four places, and the grass is piled on top of it.

When Chu Xingshan got it right, Zhao Qingzao also sharpened the pole, she used a knife for the first time, she was not used to it, and it was like a dog gnawing it, but fortunately, there was finally a look, Chu Xingshan looked at it, said that it was okay to use, and moved it to the ground.

Several areas were divided into fields, and soon the seeds were sown and seedlings were planted, and it was done after being busy for most of the hour.

Zhao Qingzao considered that the family population was small, and she and Chu Xingshan planted a lot of vegetables, and they got a little bit of each, waiting for the taste to change if they wanted to eat it in the future.

But now, if you want to eat the vegetables you grow yourself, it will take at least two months, and most of them will take three months to mature.

Shen Changting was originally copying books in the house, but when he heard the movement in the courtyard, he lost his mind under curiosity, and ran out to take a look, and saw that Zhao Qingzao was asking Chu Xingshan for advice on how to grow vegetables, and couldn't help frowning slightly, with some hesitation on his face.

But after thinking about it, in the end, Shen Changting didn't bother and went directly into the house.

Chu Xingshan was busy sweating profusely, and finally planted all the vegetables, Zhao Qingzao was grateful for this, she knew that if there was no help from Chu Xingshan, she would not be able to plant well.

But since it was planted, the subsequent watering, fertilization, hoeing and something, Zhao Qingzao knew it, and she was not in a hurry anyway, and she didn't feel so difficult, she didn't think it was so difficult.

"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, I don't understand if you're asking me in the future, I'll go back first. ”

After being busy, Chu Xingshan saw that he was busy, so he planned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly said, "Brother Chu, thanks to you this time, why don't you go back first, and have lunch." ”

"It's still early, no need, I'll go home and work. Chu Xingshan didn't look back, and left directly and generously.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao didn't say much, silently wrote down the favor, and carefully closed the courtyard door, there are many chickens and ducks in this village, and she was worried that she would ruin her dishes by sneaking in.

When Zhao Qingzao washed her hands and returned to the house happily, she saw that Shen Changting had stopped copying the book and was sitting there looking at her with a complicated expression.

Zhao Qingzao looked a little weird, looked up and down, didn't find anything wrong, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"

"I don't earn a lot here, it's enough for two people to live, why do you bother to get any land, it's too hard. ”

Shen Changting sighed, looking at Zhao Qingzao with some pity, in his opinion, Zhao Qingzao is still young after all, and these things should not be her turn to be busy.

Zhao Qingzao smiled: "What's this, I'm not idle, I can't be at home in a daze all day long, my peers are busy with work, I don't have a companion if I want to play, it's better to find something to do." ”

"But it's too tiring, you might as well learn some female popularity. Shen Changting opened his mouth a little crying and laughing.

Zhao Qingzao shook his head and said, "Don't, I can't learn the female red, it's not that material, speaking of which, I won't be able to make shoes and clothes for you in the future." ”

"It's okay, we don't lack that. Shen Changting was also amused.

Zhao Qingzao told the truth, she didn't learn any female popularity in the Zhao family, and now she has no one to teach her, so she might as well just forget it, and immediately explained: "Look, I'm too idle now, plant some land, and when the time comes, you don't have to buy everything, you can save a little, and the money you earn can be saved." ”

I have no money this year, and Zhao Qingzao can't help it, although Shen Changting can make money, I don't know how long this job can last, not to mention Shen Changting's body, after all, it is a hidden danger.

Seeing this, Shen Changting didn't have much to say.

Suddenly, he found that Zhao Qingzao was no longer the stubborn and spicy girl he knew at the beginning, but a woman who was very good at living.
