Erya's field is actually not on the edge of this Zhuangzi, she is just passing by. Unexpectedly, the adults and children in the village ran out to meet her, forcing her not to dismount.

"Auntie, sister-in-law! You're all at home! How busy are you with spring planting at home? As soon as the second girl got off the horse, she smiled and asked the sisters-in-law who ran to her.

Even if a peasant woman has the courage and sharp-tongued person, she will also be stuck if she really wants to see the person who is high in her eyes. There is a personality that is introverted in itself, and those who don't like to talk much don't know what to say, but the older old women are much calmer.

A mother-in-law who seemed to be in her fifties replied to Erya: "Hello to your lady! The heads of the houses are busy in the fields! We were cooking at home, and when we heard the children say you're coming, we ran out. We've said it time and time again, no matter what day you come, our family will treat you to a meal and a glass of wine! ”

Erya was slightly stunned, she was not familiar with them, and some of them had never met at all, let alone knew each other, so how could she invite them to dinner. But she thought so in her heart, but her face quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "You guys are so polite, I want to eat at home, how long will it take!" I'm coming over today to see how my farmland's spring planting is going, and I'll have to leave in the afternoon. I really don't have time to visit your house today, but I appreciate your kindness! ”

Some people sighed regretfully, they actually knew that this rich lady would not come to their house for dinner, but the heads of the family wanted to thank others, and of course they also wanted to have an opportunity to thank this noble person for his kindness.

Erya didn't expect so many people to come to meet her and pull her back. Especially when there are so many children, and she is empty-handed, and she doesn't bring any candy or pastries. I couldn't help but regret that I was too careless. Now seeing the children looking at her with awe and curiosity made her feel very sorry.

It took a while for the other side to invite this side to excuse himself, so that Er Ya was able to escape. When they arrived at Erya's own grange, Director Liu and the others were already eating breakfast with dishes and chopsticks. Seeing the lady of the proprietor pulling the horse into the compound, they were all shocked.

Director Liu: "The lady of the proprietorship? Why did you come here at this time? He saw that no one came in behind the lady of the proprietor's house, and then followed up and asked, "Are you alone?" ”。

Erya gave the reins of the horse to the youngest son of Director Liu's family who ran to him, and replied to Director Liu: "We spend the New Year in the capital. Now go back and pass by here, and stop by to see you! ”

Director Liu instructed his eldest daughter to quickly take out clean dishes and chopsticks, and asked his daughter-in-law to quickly fry two eggs with sesame oil. While putting the lady of the proprietor into the house and taking a seat: "The lady of the proprietor!" You may be seated! Erya sat on the upper seat unceremoniously, and she had to hold it when it was time to hold the shelf, which she never gave up.

After sitting down and waiting for dinner, Erya asked about the field. She didn't have to ask about the accounts. Because there is Anzi to help check and reconcile accounts at the end of every year. There is no need for Erya to do much. What she wanted to know was that Director Liu's family was only here and could be bullied by locals. After all, their relationship with Anzi has never been known, but they are afraid that some local snakes will bully them when they see that they are weak and make a lot of money.

Director Liu shook his head, and replied with some pride and pride on his face: "The owner lady is gone, I don't know!" The people in this place are very grateful to you. Maybe those people have got your plan, and life is getting better and better. So. We have to take care of our field as if it were our own. Some chickens and geese are far away, not allowed to come near our field. for fear that the livestock and poultry would spoil the millet and seedlings.

In July and August last year, I don't know whose relatives came from other places, and the children of that family were ignorant, so they collected two loach cages from our field, so that the eldest son of the Sun family in the field next door saw it, and almost fought with the child in order to protect the loach cage.

If they are in time to harvest the crops and are too busy to find odd jobs, although they are not short of money, as long as they find them, they will come immediately, without the slightest prevarication. After finishing the work, when you want to pay the salary, you don't want to push it back and forth. Fortunately, the owner has a lot of good things, and one person gives them a handful of toffee, one or two taels of tea, which makes them very happy."

Listening to these words, Erya was also happy. "The people here are very simple, and that's good! We were worried that people would be bullying here, and if we made trouble and brought disaster to the crops, loaches, eels and so on, you wouldn't be able to take care of it. It's just that I've never seen you report good or bad, and we are more or less uneasy, so we want to take advantage of this passing by to have a look. Your family lives here far from home, but are you used to it? ”

Director Liu hurriedly nodded, "Get used to it!" We live here very well, my child mother fed dozens of chickens, raised a dozen geese, occasionally do needlework, the days call her too beautiful, how can there be no habit! The children are also fine, and the local children here have played balls, I said to go back to my hometown for the New Year, they are not happy, and I have not been able to go back to my hometown this year. ”

In fact, there is another reason why the children are reluctant to go back for the New Year, that is, there are too many children of the eldest brother and the second brother in the family, and they will rob their three children when they see good things. His children are actually quite sensible, they didn't say anything the first few times, and took the initiative to let them go. But the nephews became more and more disagreeable, and even wanted the silver chains that the children wore around their necks, which was too much. The children didn't give it, and their grandmother blamed Director Liu, saying that he could earn hundreds of taels of silver a year, and he was reluctant to give such a silver chain to his nephew. He thought that if he didn't express it to his nephews, he really couldn't say it, so he gave two taels of silver and asked their father and mother to buy it for them. The three children were distressed, so they yelled that they would not go back in the future, at that time he thought that the children were just complaining and talking, but he didn't expect that last year he really said that he didn't want to go back.

Alas! He sighed secretly, it was really hard to say: 'Children don't take money too seriously, how can they be so stingy with their own family?' After all, their poor days have only been a few years old. When I almost starved to death without food or drink, my eldest son and second daughter still remember. If you say something like that. Not to mention what the children think, even they will feel ridiculous.

Director Liu's daughter-in-law was very sloppy, and soon brought up fried eggs, salted duck eggs that had been cut, and the special snack of this place, 'dry kang cakes'. Erya is very interested in the 'dry kang cake' made by Director Liu's daughter-in-law. It is burnt and fragrant, and it is a little soft when you bite into it, but it is not hard. But it is chewy, and the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes, and the taste is very similar to the scones sold on the street when she was a child.

Director Liu's daughter-in-law saw that the lady of the owner liked to eat the 'dry kang cake' she made, and her heart was very beautiful, and she watched the lady of the east family eat the three 'dry kang cakes' without blinking, and then reached out with a smile to add a bowl of millet soup to the lady of the owner.

After breakfast. Director Liu and his daughter-in-law took the lady of the owner to the field again.

The temperature here is lower than that of Liujialing, which is not suitable for double-cropping rice, but for the loaches and yellow eels raised in the fields. That's how it can only be grown. Fortunately, Erya has the experience of planting double-cropping rice in this area in later generations, that is, raising seedlings on dry land, keeping warm in greenhouses, and transplanting them when the temperature rises. In this way, although the harvest season is more than ten days later than that of Liujialing. But as long as the manpower can keep up. It will not affect the double grab, and the transplanting of late rice will not miss the harvest of crops as long as it is planted before the beginning of autumn. Of course, the harvest of rice may be less than that of Liujialing, but the rice here is delicious! Of course, the price is high, too! I heard that the most famous annatto rice in history was grown here, but Erya would not grow such extravagant things in her own fields. While earning money, she pays more attention to people's livelihood.

Because there are loaches and yellow eels in the rice fields, they cannot be ploughed like normal rice fields. However, because the water in the field is never cut off, and there is the wonderful use of loaches, this paddy field does not need to do that useless work. Just use a rake with a hook. Again and again, the vertical rice seedlings were raked under the soil. Soaking the roots of rice seedlings in the mud can not only fertilize the field, but also do not affect the planting of seedlings.

The paddy fields that Erya saw had been raked for a month, and the surface was calm and precipitated with very clear water. Under the clear water, you can still see some soft rice seedling roots that are lying in the mud, about half a foot long, and occasionally there will be yellow and bright yellow eels sliding over them, and the loaches are also shining in the mud with small bubbles. There are long-term workers on the ridges who are busy reinforcing the small ridge roads, and they don't feel cold when they are barefoot.

Erya took a look at a few reservoirs by the way, because to prevent the children from being naughty to go to the reservoir to play, they added a very wide ditch around the reservoir, and if they wanted to go over, someone had to carry a wooden plank to build a bridge. The fish raised in these reservoirs did not catch fish for three years, so there was no income, and it was not until the year before last that the first fishing began. The fish from a reservoir was sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver. Of course, the locals don't know that they have such a high income, otherwise, they are afraid that every family will have to find a way to dig a reservoir. However, the locals only raise prawns and grow lotus roots in a pond, and they can net twenty or thirty taels of silver a year.

In the big ditch by the reservoir, Director Liu raises prawns and cocoons. Because almost every family here has planted a pond of lotus roots, they do not plant lotus roots here, so as not to cause excessive lotus roots to be unsalable.

Lotus root is different from prawns, prawns can be sold every day, continuously, a day to sell a minimum of 600 catties, a year to nearly 200,000 catties. And this is only a minimum estimate, in fact, it is not enough for the needs of the market at all. The lotus root is a seasonal thing, and it must be sold in the month or two when it is harvested, otherwise it will only rot the fertile field. Therefore, the lotus root must be planted in a certain amount! Some local families may already know that the Wang family gave them the benefits of the lotus root, so when the lotus root and prawns were harvested, they were all sold to the Wang family. Some people offered them a high price to buy it, but no one was tempted. Er Ya doesn't know these things, and if he does, he will sigh at the simplicity of human nature in this era.
