After planting the rice, the seedlings in the field have also come out, and the big guy has started a new round of busyness.

In this era, there were no chemical herbicides and insecticides, and hard-working farmers had to work in the fields in the increasingly hot weather.

hoeing, removing insects, and getting rid of excess seedlings, even Lin Xiao was no exception, and he followed Xu Lang to work on the twenty acres of land all day long.

Fifty acres of paddy fields Xu Lang almost handed over to Lang Shuzhi, and said that he would give him silver to hire him. Fortunately, the water source of Black Bear Ridge is abundant, and it is convenient to release water from the paddy field.

The thirty acres of land in Xianrenmiao Village Xu Lang was looking for someone to help hoe grass or something in Xianrenmiao, and hired a family of five, with three strong laborers of father and son, and he also did a good job.

Speaking of fate, Xu Lang hired this family to rob Lin Xiao's two brothers with the He family brothers.

Don't look at those two boys who were unreliable at the beginning, as the saying goes, the prodigal son will not change his money. was beaten and really lived an honest life, hoeing grass for Xu Lang or something.

It's just that a few times Lin Xiao went over there to look at the ground, and those two boys were so frightened that their faces turned white when they saw Lin Xiao.

That time completely shattered the illusion in Xu Lang's heart.

Xu Lang originally thought that it was his elegant temperament and personal charm that conquered others, but the feeling was that Lin Xiao's violence shocked the two brothers, and he was speechless for a while.

During this time, Xu Lang was not idle, he went to the county seat a few times, and Dr. Xu helped introduce a few people who specialize in building houses, all of whom are good craftsmen. There is a person who is even more famous in Youzhou Mansion, if it weren't for the friendship with Dr. Xu, people like Xu Lang would not be willing to accept it.

Rao was like this, and he only helped draw the drawings, and personally went to Black Bear Ridge to help take a look, and changed a few places.

A good architect generally knows a little about feng shui, and the man looked at the place Xu Lang chose, especially changing the location of the lake. In this way, Xu Lang has to increase some investment, but fortunately, the two of them now have a lot of money on hand. The dividends of Wenyuan Book Store have increased every month, although Lin Xiao is not enough to count the silver to the point of cramping. But I can also have a beautiful dream with the silver.

The foundation of the house was already being laid, and Lin Xiao had to go over to take a look at it almost every day. There were a few simple sheds built over there, which were lived by masons invited by several county seats, and other workers were filled by the strong laborers of the village. Xu Lang gave the silver according to the market price, and he took care of two meals a day. In this way, several daughters-in-law who cooked were hired, including Shen Kang's and Peng's Wang's.

Li's daughter-in-law is also there, and she gave birth to two daughters before and can help take care of the children, otherwise it will be difficult for her to come out and make money at this time.

Those who keep their homes can work and earn money. I also have two meals a day, not to mention big fish and meat, which is better than my own food. Xu Lang and Lin Xiao are both generous people, and now they can't put away the hot meals, and if there is any surplus food one day, they will take it home for the people who work to eat, which can be regarded as improving the food.

The people hired by Xu Lang and Lin Xiao are basically from the hunting team, and the people from the hunting team are familiar with it, and they won't be cheating and slippery when they work, otherwise the brothers won't be able to spare him. Second, the hunting team is all strong laborers of the village. The strength is much greater than that of their peers, and such people are also easy to work efficiently. With the same silver, Xu Lang naturally wanted to finish his work quickly.

Zhao Shuzi and the copper hammer have also been helping at the construction site, don't look at Zhao Shuzi's legs and feet, but this carpenter is really a good hand, and ordinary people can't compare. The copper hammer is small, and he doesn't want Lin Xiao's money, just doing what he can and eating two meals here every day. The half-grown boy was the time when he was able to eat when he was growing up, and he worked on Xu Lang's side for more than two months. Not only is he not thin, but the copper hammer is still growing up. This makes many families secretly regret that they know that eating well can grow up, so it is better to let their children go. You don't have to do a lot of tiring work, and you can save food rations for your family, so you didn't expect to get so many benefits in one fell swoop.

Someone euphemistically expressed to Lin Xiao that he was willing to help his children, but Lin Xiao refused with a smile.

"The work on the construction site is not a joke, and no one can afford to bump into it." Lin Xiao knew the thoughts of the big guys, but he couldn't let the children run around the construction site. "Don't look at the copper hammer there. It's not me who says about this kid, ordinary people really can't compare. At the beginning, Brother Zhao's bad legs and feet were taken care of by the copper hammer, and in our Black Bear Ridge, adults may not have a copper hammer to work. A passage gags most people's mouths.

Lin Xiao naturally couldn't let the children go to the construction site to work, and also reminded Xu Lang that the construction site was full of tools, and children couldn't let them play there, even their own apprentices were allowed to go to the construction site casually, and they had to slap and fry meat when they encountered it.

Xu Lang was strictly in charge of the construction site, and the people of the hunting team naturally restrained their children, and even most of the people in the village did not dare to mess around.

The days passed like this, and during this period, Lin Xiao hired human seedlings again, that is, to pull out the excess corn seedlings. Because it was not a special seed, the corn was uneven, and Lin Xiao didn't care. How can these 20 acres of land be able to produce 10,000 catties of grain, and if you go back and pick the good ones and sell them as seeds, it will definitely be a bumper harvest.

During this period, the rice was sick, and Lang Shuzhi also had experience and quickly controlled it.

Lin Xiao thought about the pesticides in her previous life, there were many things she couldn't make without special tools, but she would poison them, and it wasn't difficult to get some pure plant things like pesticides.

The place of Black Bear Ridge guards the mountains, and Lin Xiao easily found all the things, and she really came up with insecticides. Gray powdery things, sprinkled a little in the water can control several kinds of insects, the effect is good.

Lin Xiao tried to sprinkle the medicine in the room at home, and it even had the effect of preventing mosquitoes, which made her overjoyed. By the way, I wrapped a lot of gifts. As a result, her stuff is easy to use, but the taste is a little big. I don't feel anything when I sprinkle it in the water, but I feel a little panicked when I put it in a closed room.

Lao Peng came to Lin Xiao the day after his daughter-in-law got it, "Sister, we can't use this thing of yours, my sister-in-law used a little, but her face turned green in the middle of the night, and she almost scared me to death." ”

Lin Xiao was frightened when she heard this, "Is that sister-in-law okay?" "You have to pay attention to any minor illness in this era, and a cold can kill people.

"I was about to tell you about this, your sister-in-law is sick and can't get up from the kang, so she can't come to work today. I'm trying to get her some medicine to eat. "There are few people in the village who ask for a doctor when they are sick, and there are many local methods to treat diseases, and Lao Peng obviously wants to use this.

Just as Xu Lang came over, "You can't take medicine indiscriminately when you're sick, or I'll take a look." ”

Lao Peng scratched his head, "How can you be so squeamish." (To be continued.) )
