Chapter 55 Planning

This notebook is very messy, it is all daily life or random thoughts or heard, some are sprinkled with thousands of words, and some are only one sentence. For example: I am very happy to have a Tang Ben today! Another example: Liu Youqing's pear blossoms are good! The first time I read it, it was a little confusing, but gradually I seemed to feel the author's experience, mood, and some fun in reading.

Gradually, Qiu Chen really figured out some things, for example, now the Ming Dynasty was built after the Song Dynasty, that is, Genghis Khan's Huanghuang Dayuan Empire was deleted. Just like the Ming Dynasty, the various departments of the grassland will intrude on the border every year, and it has been more than 100 years since they stopped.

Also, the author's identity Qiu Chen also guessed that he was a person in a high position, and it was very likely that he was a very popular minister, because there were not many records about the court's political affairs in the essay, but in a few strokes, it showed that the author looked down on all beings from a high level, well, in a modern popular word, it is 'God's perspective'!

For example, saying that someone is as stupid as a pig in court. Another example is someone's ghost tricks, carving insect skills; also said that a certain scholar of the Hanlin Academy should go home to coax his grandson......

At the end of the day, he was busy with work again, and he experienced the affairs of Erkui's family, Haitang didn't see much, so he couldn't resist Zhou Gong's call, put away the booklet, blew out the lights and fell asleep.

I had a good night's sleep and didn't even have a dream.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qiu Chen got up refreshed, walked out of the door and took a few deep breaths, then stretched his waist, arms and legs, and couldn't help but smile when he looked at the dawn of the morning.

With such clear air and such a peaceful village life, if it is shelved, I am afraid that you will have to go to the mountains far away from the hustle and bustle of the city to find it! And she now enjoys every moment, which can be regarded as one of the few benefits that God has given her again.

I went to the backyard and let the chickens out of the coop, clucked, sprinkled a handful of shelled sorghum down, and the five flower hens scrambled to eat.

The chestnut red horse stayed in the rejuvenation hall, and she didn't have to take care of it today, she only took a pinch and a half of dry grass and fed it to the Xiangzhang family. Then clap your hands, go back to the front yard to freshen up, and start making breakfast.

Lin Xu also got up early, put on old clothes and carried a bucket to fetch water in the river down the slope, and came back to water the garden.

A few days ago, the spinach and leeks planted had already sprouted, Qiu Chen was afraid of frost at night, so the garden sprinkled a layer of wheat to keep warm. Some of the naughty sprouts poked their heads out of the cracks in the wheat stalks, like a group of naughty and innocent children, secretly looking at this great shijie.

The four children steamed a small pot of egg custard, made a few scallion pancakes, and made a pot of shredded radish and shrimp skin soup.

Qiu Chen beckoned the four children to get dressed and get up, rushed to wash their hands and faces like a lamb, combed Aman's small horns, and the family sat down to eat.

At this time, Liu Sanhe carried the water into the door, Qiu Chen beckoned him to sit down and eat, no matter what, it was the least etiquette to catch up with the meal and enter the door. Since Liu Sanhe is doing a good job now, Qiu Chen is not stingy with respect for at least a little bit.

"Hehe, xiexie Lin family lady, I won't eat it...... I've eaten it! Liu Sanhe said with a smile, as if he was afraid that Qiu Chen would not believe it, and patted his stomach. It's just that he couldn't control his eyes and slipped straight to the table, leaking the bottom.

Qiu Chen made a look, Lin Xu rolled a cake and stuffed it into Liu Sanhe's hand, Liu Sanhe took it with a smile, said thank you and stood up to eat, and swallowed a cake in three or two bites.

Putting down the bowl, Qiu Chen got up and called Liu Sanhe, pointed to a bag of flour next to the water tank and asked him to carry it, while she hugged a pile of raw edge paper and went out with four little radish heads. I was too busy to go to the third grandmother's house to deliver food last night, and now that I see Liu Sanhe, she will stop by.

When I arrived at the third grandmother's house, I handed over the raw edge paper to the third grandmother, and explained the food matter again, and the third grandmother also understood people, and knew that this was the right reason, so she didn't excuse herself, took it with a smile, and only turned her head and told Liu Sanhe to do a good job in the future. Although the Lin family did not pay the salary, one hundred catties of white flour per month is quite seven or eight hundred yuan, and ordinary people can't give such a high monthly fee.

After explaining this matter, Qiu Chen asked Liu Sanhe again to cultivate another acre and a half of summer fields in his own house. As far as she knows, this shijie planting species is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty in history, the summer grain is wheat, the autumn grain is mainly sorghum and millet, and some people also grow soybeans, mung beans and other things, but there is no large-scale planting. As for cotton, because the varieties have not been improved, the yield is small, and the planting area is small, which leads to the high price of cotton cloth and cotton yarn, and the price of refined cotton cloth is even higher than that of silk.

Liu Sanhe seemed to have considered this matter, Qiu Chen asked, although he was still smiling, but the answer was very fluent: "The Lin family's field, the ground is flat, not sand or sticky, but the manure used less in the first two years, and the fertility was a little worse. In this way, you can grow anything in the fertile field. Well...... I searched for a way to grow sesame seeds instead of coarse grains such as sorghum and millet. Although the yield is low, the price is high, and the income is more cost-effective than growing grain. ”

Qiu Chen didn't understand these facts, but the third grandmother smiled next to him: "Sanhe's idea is good, your family has that fried medicine shop, and there is no shortage of food to eat, grow some sesame mung beans, not only have high income, but you can also keep some for yourself." These crops are still harvested early, and after harvesting, they can plant another season of autumn vegetables, even cabbage and radish. Well, it's a good deal, it's a good deal. ”

Hearing what the third grandmother said, Qiu Chen didn't have any opinions, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, that's it." He turned to Liu Sanhe again, "You calculate how many seeds you need, and what fertilizer you need, just go and talk to me." ”

While walking home, Qiu Chen summed it up.

It's been two days since the chestnut horse was bought, and the barn hasn't been built yet. Fortunately, it didn't rain for two days, but then the weather warmed up, and the rain would be diligent, and if it rained, it would be a waste for such a good horse to get sick. As a result, building a horse shed has become an urgent matter for the Lin family at the moment. After the construction of the horse shed, it is also necessary to dig a pond in front of the yard to raise lotus roots, which is also a small job.

These two jobs are enough for two people, Qiu Chen thought about it, and handed it over to Man Ho and Erkuigan. With these two jobs, and the income from the second Kui's daughter-in-law, the initial predicament of the Erkui family can be alleviated. At least I was able to buy some rice to survive. As for the house, I believe that it is very easy to buy a piece of land to build it. I dare not say, according to Qiu Chen's understanding of prices these days, it basically doesn't cost much to build two thatched houses, and the big money is to buy homesteads, and as long as they don't occupy arable land, the homestead price is very cheap, other adobes can be extended by themselves, purlins can be cut up the mountain by themselves, thatch can also be cut up the mountain, and there is also to build a house to manage the rice, but the village people are not very demanding, steam a few pots of steamed buns, cut a few catties of meat, and come to see meat stew every meal. All in all, three taels of silver is enough for two thatched huts, and Qiu Chen can find a few more jobs for them and his wife to do, and I believe that they will be able to save enough.

When I got home, Lan Ying had already come over, and she was packing up the fried medicine shed, ready to dry and pack it. Qiu Chen first greeted Lin Xu and asked him to go to school, and then told Lan Ying about building a horse shed. The farm work in the field is not busy in this season, and it is no problem to let Man Hoard come over to help for a few days, but Lan Ying knows these things very well, so she simply ran home and called Man Hoard to come over, and asked him to discuss with Qiu Chen what to prepare.

Although Manhoard is not as dexterous as Mancang, he knows a little about carpentry work and muddy work, and he is also an enthusiast, who will always help with the construction of houses in the village, and over time, he will be familiar with some work such as building sheds and houses. Building a horse shed is not a big project, so I went to look at the venue, and listened to Qiu Chen talk about the size requirements of the horse shed, and the total amount of the hoarding came out with the material and labor budget. l3l4
