Chapter Fifty-Nine: Plan 2
This time I went to the state capital and added the silver used to save Qu Wenxing Qu Xiucai's family, a total of more than three hundred taels was spent, plus what she spent on building a house before and on weekdays, she still has nearly two thousand nine hundred taels of silver now.
Mei Liu'er decided to take out 1,500 taels of silver to buy wasteland first, taking advantage of the fact that everyone had time to invite someone to open up the wasteland in the previous winter, and the wasteland was still not paid 40 yuan a day for food.
At present, one acre of wasteland is three taels of silver, one acre of inferior field is six taels of silver, medium field is ten taels of silver, the superior field is twelve taels of silver, and the superior fertile field is fifteen taels of silver.
Mei Liu'er's 1,500 taels of silver can buy 500 acres of wasteland, but the wasteland that can be cultivated in Little Wolf Village is about 150 acres at most, which means that it will cost about 600 taels, and there are about 900 taels left.
If you open a restaurant, you can't only sell vegetarian vegetables, meat and vegetables also have to be sold, so you can't always buy them, chickens, ducks and pigs can be fed in the village, so raise them in the village, let the people in the village raise them or raise them yourself.
Thinking of this, Mei Liu'er plans to buy a hill next to the wasteland, but in fact, it can't be regarded as a mountain, at most it is a small hill, and it is not big enough to be more than 100 acres.
This hill bag will be sorted out, and fruit trees will be planted on the mountain, and chickens can be raised in the fruit grove, and the chicken manure will be used as fertilizer for the fruit trees.
And when the fruit trees hang fruit, it is a harvest, chickens and eggs are also a harvest, and these products can also be supplied to restaurants, chickens can also be directly made into roast chicken, roast chicken, called flower chicken, lotus leaf chicken, etc. to sell, not to mention steamed, boiled, stewed, fried, fried, anyway, there are many patterns and never the same.
Eggs can also be steamed, boiled, fried, scrambled, can also be made braised eggs, pickled eggs, Songhua eggs, boiled tea eggs, spiced eggs, etc., fried egg rolls, egg cakes, etc., not to mention, tomato scrambled eggs (tomato is tomatoes), green onion scrambled eggs, cucumber egg soup and so on.
In short, there will be absolutely no surplus, and it is already very good to be able to supply.
If you buy this hilltop, you will only need 200 to 300 taels, even if it is 300 taels, there are 600 taels left, and 600 taels will be used to pay for the wages and buy fruit tree saplings, buy chickens, and so on.
When it comes to buying chickens, Mei Liuer thought that it must be difficult to buy so many chickens at a time, not to mention that she also has to buy about five hundred, the first time she bought it, she can't buy it every time, she has a way to buy it, but the first few times she still bought it, and when her chickens began to lay eggs, she could use this method when there were a lot of eggs.
So much wasteland bought, Mei Liuer plans to dig three ten acres of large ponds in the wasteland, on the one hand, it can store water to solve the problem of water irrigation in the wasteland, and you can also plant lotus root in the pond to stock fish, after the lotus root blooms, you can also pick lotus flowers and pick lotus seeds, the silt in the pond can also fertilize the land, and you can also plant mulberry trees to raise silkworms on the edge of the pond, and the excrement of silkworms can be fed to fish.
In the first two years of the wasteland, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, soybeans, mung beans and other crops that do not pick the land are evenly planted, and then look at the suitable terrain to change the paddy field to plant rice.
With all these in place, new questions arise again!
It is impossible for her to plant so much land by herself, and it is not practical to always spend money to hire people to clean it up, and in the busy season of farming, everyone is concerned about taking back the grain at home to the granary first, and it will not work when the time comes, so it is better to hire long-term workers or directly buy two houses and come back to plant.
After thinking about it again, Mei Liuer decided to hire long-term workers first, and the buyer couldn't buy it for a while, no, it was better to ask Wang Erlang and Dazhong to help introduce a few people with good conduct and suitable (or want) to do long-term work for her, and hire long-term workers to plant it first.
Mei Liu'er thought about it carefully, for the time being, only these general directions have been decided, such as how to open up the wasteland, dig a pond in that wasteland, etc., and have to wait for the time to see the division.
Mei Liu'er saw that it was almost over, and there were still places that she didn't expect, and when she thought of it, she just had to go, and now she finally sorted things out a little bit, and her heart was somewhat relaxed.
Mei Liuer got up and went to the stove room first, added some firewood to the stove hole, and then returned to the main house, went to hold the futon to spread out on the kang and lay down to rest, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was planning after I got home, and I didn't rest.
Mei Liu'er laid out the futon and fell asleep as soon as she lay down, Qu Ran woke up and saw Mei Liu'er sleeping on the kang, and thought, 'The lady is really tired, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I wrote and painted for a long time after I came back, and now I can finally rest, I should move lightly, so as not to affect the lady's rest, and when I make dinner, I will call the lady to get up to eat'
Thinking about it like this, Qu Ran's movements also slowed down, walking and lifting his legs and landing his feet were gently afraid of making a little noise, Qu Ran has basically come to Mei Liu'er every day since he came to Little Wolf Village, and he rushed to cook breakfast in the morning, and he didn't have one meal a day.
Mei Liu'er hasn't cooked by herself for several days, she is at most on the side, Qu Ran is also a clever mind, as long as Mei Liu'er teaches her once or twice, of course, this is also thanks to the good foundation, Qu Ran used to help her mother cook.
Qu Ran's father and mother have been busy looking for the village chief Wang Gengtian to understand the situation in the village these days, so that Mei Liuer can get started quickly when he needs him to do things, one does needlework at home, and makes clothes for a family of three.
Qu Ran looked at the hour and saw that it was still early, and it was estimated that the lady had just fallen asleep, and it was still early to cook dinner, so she took out the needle and thread to do it, she was helping Mei Liu'er make clothes, Qu Ran felt that she was naturally the maid next to the lady, and the things that helped the lady to make clothes had to be done, and nothing else could help the lady, and she was still competent for these little things in life.
Qu Ran made clothes for a while before going to cook dinner, just as her rice was cooked, Mei Liu'er also woke up.
