When Erya arrived home, her two sons were stunned and couldn't recognize their parents. Don't blame the ruthlessness of the two little ones, who called the second girl not exposed to the sun!

Originally, Erya didn't have to work in the field for many years, and her skin was much whiter, but this time she was even more miserable in the north. Erya's skin is not exposed to the sun, and the ultraviolet rays of the sun in the north are stronger, and the combination of the two is combined, although the straw hat with the oversized circle specially woven for her by her grandfather does not play much role, and it is still a little whiter than the coal she pulled back.

Fortunately, Xiaohu is also almost sunburned, and everyone is bald, not to mention the second bald man, they are all grinning, shining with a white mouth full of teeth.

When grandpa, grandpa and grandmother, uncle and aunt, and second uncle and aunt got the news, they all ran over one after another, and the house was full of people for a while.

As soon as they washed their faces and sat down with their hands, they didn't have a chance to drink tea, and the big milk asked anxiously: "Why didn't the girls over there come back with you, could it be that their parents don't agree with this family matter?" ”

Erya shook her head and replied: "They have some opinions, but I don't know what Grandpa said to them over there, and they didn't say anything later." I asked them to stay at home for a while longer, and when Xiaohu and the others came back from the grassland and sent the wool over, there would be an empty car to take them. I want to bring back as much coal as possible for this carriage, so that it will be useful in winter. ”

Grandpa Tai is concerned about the major affairs of land reclamation, "Then how are you doing in land reclamation?" ”

Before Erya could answer, Xiaohu seemed to be offering a treasure. Bang opened: "Grandpa don't worry! With my daughter-in-law here, what can be difficult to get her? My daughter-in-law is so amazing that she can come up with a lawn mower that looks like a car. The donkey was pulling and walking in front, and the people behind were standing on it, and they kept stepping on the rocking handle, and the grass broke off by itself, but quickly! In a moment, you can cut down the wild grass that is a foot wide and several feet long. Several acres of barren grass were cut in an hour.

And oh! My daughter-in-law also came up with a four-toothed plow, which was pulled by two oxen. One trip to top our plough four times. Hurry?! The prefect over there said that he would report the credit of my daughter-in-law to the emperor, and said that in order not to let us suffer, he would wait until our family's land was almost reclaimed before it was promoted.

When we go. The matter of clearing the wasteland has already made a good start, as long as Brother Manman does it step by step! ”

Grandpa shook his head, while he valued this great-grandson daughter-in-law in his heart, he was dissatisfied with the prefect's fooling of his great-grandson and great-grandson's daughter-in-law. He said: "These are these two good farm tools made by the great-granddaughter-in-law. I'm afraid that it will already spread before the prefect starts to promote it. You don't want to think about it. Those peasant men who regard farm tools as their lives, how can they not follow the manufacture and use of your farm tools when they see that you are so good?! Where can he still be guilty of promoting hard? This prefect is really good at selling favors. ”

Erya doesn't care, although she has the desire to make money, but the biggest purpose of her making money is to protect her family. At the same time, I also hope that I can have the ability to drive the production development of the whole country. No matter how much money there is, it is still money, and in the case of social backwardness, it does not mean much to improve the quality of life. And the development of productive forces. It will be the whole society that is moving forward. The quality of life of people, even the poor, will be genuinely improved by the progress of society. I can also improve my life because of the improvement of the general environment.

Seeing that Er Ya didn't care, Grandpa couldn't help but ask, "Liu girl!" Why don't you worry about it at all? ”

Erya smiled and replied to Grandpa: "Grandpa! I think that's a good thing. Those villagers can get this advanced farming technology from us, then they must remember the love of our Wang family, and the Wang family over there can more or less gain some reputation in that place. If they get this technology from the government, then what they remember is the love of the government, and our Wang family can't get it at all. Besides, the harvest of our trip was far beyond my expectations, and it was a good thing that I could not have dreamed of being able to pay the price of the land with the fruits of the land. Comparatively speaking, this farm tool thing is really nothing! ”

Since the uncle became a town, the ideological realm has risen steadily with more and more things. At this time, after listening to the words of his nephew and daughter-in-law, he praised his father vigorously without waiting for his father to speak: "Dad! The son thinks the idea of his nephew and daughter-in-law is good! It's good to be able to take into account the interests of the royal family over there."

Grandpa Tai didn't wait for his eldest son to finish speaking, he glared and said angrily: "I don't know, I'm just afraid that they will be fooled, since this great-granddaughter-in-law thinks it's better, then what do I care about!" ”

His father's words made him feel a little strong, but Lao Tzu is the best! As a son, he could only rub his nose with the back of his fingers, smile and watch his father stop talking.

At this time, the nurse took the watermelon that was frozen in the well, cut it into pieces, put it in the tray and sent it over, and Erya hurriedly beckoned everyone to eat the watermelon.

Xiao Wenyue, who was tired of leaning on his mother's body, was the first to reach out and grab a piece, squatting and gnawing on it. Er Ya took a piece for the grandfather, uncle, and grandmother, and saw that the uncle and aunt, the second uncle and the second aunt had already taken it by themselves, so they picked up a piece and ate it themselves.

"Did you buy this watermelon or did you grow it on our own official field?" Erya asked.

The big milk replied: "It's planted in our family's official field!" My eldest family will bring a few when he comes back every day, and everyone takes turns to divide them! ”

Er Ya listened to the words of the big grandmother, nodded and said, "This melon is really delicious, sweet enough and full of water, much better than the melon we bought on the road." Next year, they will have to plant at least 30 acres of watermelons! This catty of 20 yuan, how can you collect 3,000 catties of watermelon per acre of land, but this year is a big loss! ”

This melon is a high-quality watermelon that is difficult to choose, such as sand and sand seeds, sweet enough, sufficient moisture, and thin skin. The more Er Ya thought about it, the more he regretted it, this year was mainly because they were planting watermelons for the first year, and they were afraid that they would not be able to plant well because they had no experience, so they discussed it to the end and decided to plant five acres of land first. To know that they can get such good melon seeds in the first year, and raise watermelons so well, she should be more bold. This year, this watermelon alone. But she lost more than 1,000 taels of silver, and her rough calculation made her heart burn with fire.

Xiaohu swallowed the cold watermelon juice. He also nodded and said, "I'll see it!" This is much better than the melon we bought on the road, and it costs 20 yuan a pound! Twenty Wen like ours is definitely easy to sell! ”

The eldest grandmother said to Erya while eating: "Listening to my eldest family, Steward Zhu seems to have planted a lot of land. When the melons were ripe, they were sold in Fucheng with the help of Shopkeeper Liao, and there was at least an income of five hundred taels of silver! My eldest also went to deliver watermelons, and he originally thought that there must be fewer people buying such expensive watermelons. Who knew that as soon as his truckloads of watermelons were delivered, there were already people waiting. It didn't take long for it to be robbed. ”

Grandpa followed the words of the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you don't know. Poor families can't get enough to eat, how can they be willing to use the fertile land to grow watermelons?! Some wealthy people will grow a little watermelon. That's just for their own food, and they won't be willing to take too much fertile land out to grow watermelons. When you grow food, you can at least have a year's worth of food for your family, and if you grow watermelons, you can sell them. What if it doesn't sell? The food rations of the whole family this year have become a big problem. No one dares to take the risk of starving to death to grow watermelons.

There are fewer lands for this kind of watermelon, and there are many people who eat it, even if it is a little more expensive, it is easy to sell. It's the same as eating meat! ”

The big smiled and said, "Yes! Dad just knows a lot, and your eldest grandson also said that those who buy watermelons are the stewards of large families, and the whole vehicle is bought at home, and the price is not cheap at all. At most, give one or two more watermelons to others. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Changming did not plant only five acres of land as originally discussed. It's a lot of things. According to the minimum income of five taels per acre of land, at least ten acres of land are planted.

Well! That's a good job. Recovered a lot of losses caused by her mistakes in decision-making. This year's highest reward is also counted as Zhu Changming, although there is still a bit of a psychological barrier to him, but for this matter, he should be rewarded.

Erya thought of the hall uncle who helped them manage things over there, so she asked the eldest grandmother: "The hall uncle hasn't come back today?" ”

"My eldest hasn't been back for a few days, and he said that he was going to watch the food over there during this time. By the way, your uncle still wants to talk to you about this! The big grandmother said, and then turned to the uncle who was eating vigorously and said, "You hurry up and eat, and tell Erya after eating, what are the plans for the food over there!" ”

The uncle nodded and said, "Hmm! Well! He hummed as he sped up and nibbled on the melon.

The uncle finished gnawing the watermelon in his hand, threw the melon skin and stopped eating it, wiped his mouth and wiped his hands, and said to Erya: "In this way, there is a lot of grain over there this year." Liu Dahai's second group, the gross estimate of the grain collected is almost 13,400 stones. Zhao Laishu's third group originally said that they were not required to grow food, but they looked at the fields where loaches and eels were raised, and they were very fat, and they were at the top. There were a lot of leftover seedlings in the second group, so they planted the leftover seedlings in those fields. Unexpectedly, their yield per mu was a little higher than that of the second group, and one mu had reached nearly 500 catties, and a total of more than 300 stones were collected. So much grain was collected, but there was no granary to put there. It's too much trouble to pull it back, so I thought I'd just send it directly to that General Qin. Now waiting for you to come back and make a decision! ”

Erya and Xiaohu opened their mouths, silly and straightforward. Depend on! These people are good! They all surprised them. This is without scruples, there is the courage to do it, and then, the happy surprise comes!

Grandpa Tai looked at Erya as if he didn't know at all, so he interjected next to Erya and asked, "What?" You don't know this!? I thought you arranged it! ”

Erya shook her head and replied with a smile: "This is not!" I didn't expect them to be really capable people. I thought it would be nice if they could do what I told them to do, but I didn't expect them to do better. ”

Then she said to the uncle: "Uncle, it's okay to send this grain to the army, but I think it's better to say hello in advance, and send it over in a hurry, I'm afraid that it will be unhappy."

And it's time for us to start dealing with so many ducks, and the restaurants in Fucheng alone can't sell much. I wondered if I should send some to the army, if they could take it, then we ducks might not be enough to supply their army. ”

When Xiaohu said that the army could buy their food and other products, she planned to send ducks and fish to the army. These two are the most stocked by their family at present, plus other families are also following the trend, and their capital is currently oversaturated.

Also, ducks are in their house. In addition to keeping the eggs, that is, drowning the salted duck. There are very few fresh dishes to make with duck, because it tastes so delicious that it is not delicious to cook! So sales have always been a problem, but fortunately, Erya knows that roast duck is a must. (To be continued......)
