Chapter 65 Farming
"You brought these things, are you afraid that our family will not have food, or do you think our food is not to taste?" Xu Xiangwan watched in amazement as the Shen family moved off the carriage with a large pile of food. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Shen Qianyu glanced at Xu Xiangwan and said angrily: "Didn't you see you move and burn the bottom of the pot for you?" These things are all produced in my family's own Zhuangzi, and these two boxes of dim sum and cooked food are also made by myself in my kitchen, which is not much better than the ones bought outside. ”
"Why don't you just move your Zhuangzi here? It is also a gift, and it is a gift. I've never seen you such a loser. Although Xu Xiangwan was very grateful to Shen Qianyu for his sincerity in treating their family, he still couldn't help but hurt him a few words on his mouth.
"Did you choke on medicine, kid? Why is it so ugly! But Qianyu, who is not enough to send a few eggs at the bottom of the pot, why did you still move so many things? There are so many things, we can't take them. Zhang turned his head and glanced at Xu Xiangwan, and then said to Shen Qianyu with a smile on his face.
"What's not to be able to take here? No matter how many things there are, they are always a piece of my heart. It's just some food, and if you don't take it, you'll treat me like an outsider. Shen Qianyu pretended to be sad and lowered her eyes aggrievedly.
Although Shen Qianyu was born extraordinary, this child has a good temperament, good character, and treats people realistically, the Zhang family really likes Shen Qianyu, and completely treats him as his own nephew.
Seeing Shen Qianyu like this, he had to sigh and said helplessly: "This child, let's take it." ”
Although Shen Qianyu and the others came early, in order to avoid causing trouble to Xu Xiangwan's family, they all came after breakfast.
So, after moving all the things on the carriage, Xu Xiangwan took Shen Qianyu and others to the field they had just bought yesterday.
The newly purchased land is located at the foot of Yinlong Mountain, which is directly connected to the land previously allocated by Xu Xiangwan's family.
Having not been cultivated for many years, the fields look like they are completely wasteland.
The ground is full of withered yellow weeds, thistles, and deciduous remnants, and every step startles a few sparrows, and it looks very depressed.
"This land has been barren for a long time, and at the beginning, it was born on the ground, and I could only grow some crops that did not pick the ground." Behind Shen Qianyu, a tall middle-aged man with a black and red face squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil in his hand, and then said with a frown.
Xu Xiangwan nodded: "This uncle is right. I'm going to plant something here this year that is easy to grow and grow. This is the first year, and I don't want a very high harvest, but I have planted the land so that I can grow crops in the future. ”
The black-faced man nodded approvingly, "The girl is right to think so." What are the girl's plans for this land? ”
For farming, Shen Qianyu is not good at all anymore, so he can only stare at the sidelines.
"I want to grow this year, and it's late, so I'm going to plant all these fields into peas, broad beans and soybeans. These crops are drought and cold-resistant, and the requirements for soil quality are not high, uncle see if it is feasible? Xu Xiangwan told the black-faced man about his plan.
"The girl will call me Zhao Laosan." The black-faced man smiled, then nodded and said, "I didn't expect the girl to know a lot at a young age." This kind of raw sand is the most suitable for growing beans. I wonder how many girls plan to do? ”
"I'm going to grow more peas, and I can eat them with the tips of the peas in the winter." Xu Xiangwan looked at the barren grass, as if he saw the green pea seedlings, and his eyes were full of hope.
The black-faced man nodded and made a suggestion: "Peas can be varied, and soybeans can be more varied." ”
In the end, 10 acres of more than 19 acres of land were planted with soybeans, six acres were planted with peas, and three acres and two acres of land from the Xu family were planted with broad beans.
Cultivating oxen and plows are indispensable for opening up wasteland, Xu Xiangwan borrowed ploughing oxen from Lizheng, and after asking Zhao Laosan about how many seeds he needed per mu of land, he and Shen Qianyu got into a carriage and went to the grain shop in the town to buy seeds.
More than 20 taels of silver for selling medicinal materials, renting a house and buying land, spending 11 taels and 5 taels of silver, plus other miscellaneous expenses, there are still more than 16 taels left, and it should be enough to buy seeds.
Peas bought thirty catties, broad beans bought sixty-five catties, soybeans bought sixty catties, and Xu Xiangwan spent nearly one or two silvers in total, but she didn't feel distressed, after all, all this money was invested, if her idea could be realized, maybe she didn't need to wait until next year to pay back.
After buying the seeds, Xu Xiangwan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and urged Shen Qianyu to return to Xujia Village.
Shen Qianyu brought all the good hands of farming, but in one morning, the weeds, thorns and other plants and trees in the field had already been hoeed a small half.
The grass and trees in the field are very luxuriant, can only be hoeed with a hoe, there is no way to use a sickle, hoeing is very laborious, Xu Xiangwan has little strength, so she can only help to carry the hoeed artemisia grass and tribulus terrestris to the shore to dry, and then transport it home to be used as firewood when it is dry.
As a rich young master, Shen Qianyu has naturally never done these farm things, not to mention that he has never done it, but he has never seen it, at this time, he saw that Xu Xiangwan was very busy, and he felt interesting, and he also followed Xu Xiangwan to do things together.
But it was the easiest way to hug the grass, and after a few laps, Shen Qianyu was also so tired that he gritted his teeth, sweated profusely, and his hands were cut by branches.
In terms of strength, Xu Xiangwan's strength is definitely smaller than his, every time she exerts all her strength, her face is red, her ears are red, and her muscles are rising, but next time she can hug her bigger.
Looking at Xu Xiangwan, who was obviously more than a head shorter than himself and was so thin that he couldn't speak, Shen Qianyu suddenly admired a little.
How much perseverance does it take to do this?
Halfway, Xu Qiuyi came to bring water and food to everyone a few times, but saw that Xu Xiangwan was so tired that her nose was sore.
So in the afternoon, Xu Qiuyi also stayed in the field and helped Xu Xiangwan hold the grass together.
Shen Qianyu brought some crop men who could work and endure hardships, and Shen Qianyu's special explanation, these people worked hard for twelve points, and lunch was the dry food they prepared, and they ate directly with the water sent by Xu Qiuyi.
Zhang had prepared lunch at home, but these people didn't go back to eat it, so they had to stay until the evening to eat together.
It took only three days for all the fields to be plowed out.
After that, it's time to sow the seeds.
The shopkeeper Zhu is a good person, and after hearing that Gorou's family had purchased land and needed to sow seeds, he gave Gorou a day off.
Wulang is also an expert in farm work, taking advantage of his presence, Zhang's, Xu Qiuyi, Xiao Jiu, and Xu Xiangwan all went out, and together with the people brought by Shen Qianyu, they planted more than a dozen acres of land in just one day.
The day after sowing, Shen Qianyu brought people to build a small pond at the edge of the field for Xu Xiangwan's family, dug a ditch, led river water into the pond, and watered all the more than ten acres of land, which was completed.
Shen Qianyu has also helped to do a lot of work in the past few days, and she is so tired that even her palms are blistered, which is really unbearable to watch.
In the next few days, Shen Qianyu was going to follow the shopkeeper Shen to familiarize herself with the things in the pharmacy, so she didn't run to Xu Xiangwan's house for three days.
However, Xu Xiangwan was idle after the beans were planted, so she was still ready to dig medicinal herbs in the mountains. ****************************
