111 Not enough land to grow well
Mu Qianlan now has 600 acres of land in his hands, and five acres are used to grow chili peppers, which is not for sale, but for his own use. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAccording to Mu Qianlan's thoughts, she still has to firmly control the chili pepper in her hands for a period of time.
Although there are wild peppers on the mountain, if there is no certain method, there is really no way to transplant it to life.
Two hundred acres, Mu Qianlan's plan is to plant sweet potatoes, in fact, she doesn't have so many seeds, and now the remaining sweet potatoes at home are at most two thousand catties, so Mu Qianlan found an excuse to go to Fucheng a few times, and got a lot of sweet potatoes back.
As for the rest, after thinking about it again, Mu Qianlan used it to grow mung beans.
Originally, she thought that 600 acres of land was a lot, but now she realized that the original 600 acres of land was still less, and she needed more land. In the future, I still have to find suitable land to buy some more, but in this peaceful and prosperous world, there are not many people who want to sell land, that is, her 600 acres of land, which is because she is familiar with the people and catches up.
Daqi is an era of agriculture, and only when you have land in your hands will you not panic, let alone be controlled by others.
Therefore, using nearly 400 acres of arable land to grow mung beans with extremely low yields was not her idea for a while, but it was finally decided after careful consideration.
Liu Yuniang and others didn't understand, they bought so much land and came back just to grow beans? Isn't that a waste? The price of this mung bean is not high, and the yield is low, so it is a waste to plant this on so much land. Ask for beans. If you buy it, why bother so hard.
Mu Qianlan smiled silently. She also had this idea before, thinking that she would use the land to grow medicinal herbs, so that her medicine business would be guaranteed, but in the end, Mu Qianlan still decided to plant beans first, and the medicinal materials were mainly purchased.
After all, the patent medicine business has only just begun, and the recognition should not be high. So. The demand for medicinal herbs is not so high, and the cycle of growing medicinal herbs is longer than that of other herbs. It's better to solve it by purchasing and buying by yourself for the time being.
She asked Zheng Yunfeng to help her find two people who knew medicinal materials to help purchase medicinal materials, which was quite effective. Although not a lot of acquisitions. But you can also give yourself some autonomy. You don't have to rely solely on these medicine stores in the county.
But mung beans are different, her business is getting bigger and bigger, and the demand is increasing. If you just buy it, you will be controlled by others. Now that you've grown your own, you don't have to worry. Moreover, she knows that she only needs to plant for one year is enough, and when she waits for next year, because of the increase in the price of mung beans, there will be more people who follow the trend of planting mung beans, and the price of mung beans will not rise at that time, but will only fall.
Most importantly, she plans to grow high-yield mung beans in these fields according to what later generations have learned, at least doubling the yield of mung beans grown in Daqi.
In her later life, she studied agriculture and medicine, and these things were also handy, and there was no disobedience in the slightest.
Therefore, in the days at the beginning of the first month, she was also running around the fields every day. Six hundred acres of land is really not a small amount, so these people in her family are definitely not enough.
Mu Qianlan asked Zheng Yunfeng to hire some people who had leisure time around and were honest and willing to work, these people's wages were not high, and they were given twenty yuan per strong laborer every day, and women and half-grown children were fifteen yuan.
Rao is like this, there are still many people who are willing to come, but fortunately, Zheng Yunfeng is a local and knows these people very well, so few of the people who chose were cheating and cheating, which made Mu Qianlan feel a lot more relieved.
In the past, when these people were not busy in their own fields, they could only be idle at home, but now it is different, because Mu Qianlan can work almost every day, although it sounds like a lot of money, but the two of them can work every day, and they will have one or two silver. This is also a lot of income for a farmer's family, not to mention, this income does not delay the work of their own family.
Mu Qianlan has many ways to increase the fertility of the land, and she knows how to be most conducive to the growth of crops, so her piece of land is really the best growing crop in Changhe County.
Even Zhou Qiangwen, who has planted crops for most of his life, also praised that he was not as good as Mu Qianlan who could farm.
Mu Qianlan is such a person who suddenly arrived in Willow Village, and no one knows what he used to do, so no one will feel weird, but feel that this girl must have family heirloom ability.
The days went on day by day in such a busy situation, and sure enough, as Mu Qianlan expected, her two shops were still vegetable shops that made more money. The rich people who are used to eating her aura-filled vegetables are now unaccustomed to eating other ordinary vegetables, and more and more rich people do not hesitate to run to her shop to buy vegetables.
In addition, in the spring, Mu Qianlan's shop still has many fresh fruits that are only available in autumn, so the money will be even more.
Because Zhou Muqi was no longer in the shop, the shopkeeper Li took the two little brothers of the Huang family and the Tian family in the idle shop, and he couldn't be busy, so he recruited two more clever helpers.
As for the snack bar, although a few snacks have been added, the business is only about the same as last year, and there is not much increase. However, for Mu Qianlan, this is enough.
It's just that Liu Yuniang and others also found out that after April, the weather warmed up, and the price of beans actually doubled compared with last year.
Their family is now a big user of beans, if they don't have beans in their hands, then they can only listen to others, not to say double, even if it is ten times or twenty times, they still have to use it, otherwise, they can only close the shop. But if you have beans in your hand, it's different. Qianlan is a person with ideas.
After listening to their words, Mu Qianlan smiled and said, "You forgot." Last year, the price of our grain store in Changhe County rose a lot, so I went to Fucheng to buy beans, but rewarding people is the best at seizing business opportunities to make money, once I find out that I have no other way, the price will naturally rise. ”
Only then did everyone remember what happened last year and agreed.
Mu Qianlan's side, naturally, the situation is very good, she is only busy with these, and even puts other things aside.
But I didn't want to, suddenly one day. Boss Zhou and the Li family came to Mu Qianlan's shop. Because of the trouble, Sister-in-law Huang and Sister-in-law Tian were afraid that it would affect the business in the shop, so they could only let people take them to Mu Qianlan's house.
I didn't know until the fourth grandmother asked clearly. These two people came to the county town to inquire. Is there a golden son? The fourth grandmother asked them why they asked, but the two of them were at a loss and refused to say anything.
The fourth grandmother glanced at the two of them. I didn't ask, I just said that there were several Jin families in the county, and they all had sons, and I didn't know which one they were looking for.
The two of them hurriedly talked about the appearance and characteristics of this person, but the fourth grandmother had never seen these golden sons, so naturally they couldn't help, and they couldn't tell whose sons they were talking about.
In fact, even if the fourth grandmother doesn't know what things are, she can guess that these two people's thoughts about letting the girl climb the high branches have never been broken, but I'm afraid it's just for this. However, in the end, this is also someone else's business, she has no position to take care of it, and she has no energy to manage it.
Now she is not idle, she has to cook every day with five or six hired women, and the family employs a lot of people, these people have to take care of the food at noon, and it is not a simple job. The fourth grandmother volunteered to take over these jobs. With the four grandmothers to check, the quality of this meal is not bad, there is meat every day, these people eat well, and they are willing to work hard, and the work of three days can be completed in two days, and after careful calculation, Mu Qianlan has earned it.
When Mu Qianlan came back in the evening, the fourth grandmother talked about it, Mu Qianlan heard it, and she didn't take it to heart, anyway, it was all boring things, so she wouldn't worry about it. Left, she doesn't plan to have anything to do with the rest of the Zhou family.
The household registration of Mu Tou and Luo'er, she has fallen under the household of the fourth grandmother in the name of the grandson and granddaughter of the fourth grandmother, and even the name has been changed, the wood is called Bowen, and Luo'er is now called Luo Yi, however, the origin of these two dolls has also changed, they are a pair of orphans adopted by the fourth grandmother, not the dolls in the second room of the Zhou family in Willow Village.
However, no one else knows about all this except for their own family and another greeting to Muramasa.
But it was said that since Boss Zhou and the Li family returned home during the Lantern Festival, they have been looking forward to this Jin Gongzi who has occupied his daughter's body every day to propose marriage from home, so that his family can also be beautiful, so that the people in Unli Village are envious and envious, but they didn't expect to wait for more than two months, and they didn't see this Jin Gongzi come to the door, and there was not even any news.
The two of them were unwilling to let their daughter suffer a loss like this, so they came to the county seat to inquire.
It's just that two people who have lived in the countryside for all these years, even when they go to the county seat, their eyes are black, and they can find out about Jin Gongzi. In desperation, I thought of asking the fourth grandmother for help, but I didn't expect that the fourth grandmother couldn't help.
The two of them didn't make a fuss, and it wasn't that they were sensible, but they felt that if this matter was spread out, it would be too embarrassing, and her daughter's life would really be ruined. Therefore, they refused to say a word when they died.
The two of them were delayed in the county for several days, and they didn't get a result, and finally discussed and discussed, planning to let their daughter come to the county by herself, maybe she could meet Jin Gongzi by chance. After all, they are still unwilling to give up the glory and wealth that may be possible
***********************
In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of April of the lunar calendar, and when everyone was gossiping, they said that it was the opening of the snack restaurant during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and so on, Mu Qianlan suddenly remembered that it had been a year since her snack restaurant opened.
At the beginning, Yang Lan told her that this shop had been rented for a year, and if it was calculated, it was time to renew the lease, but she didn't know who this shop was, so there was no way to find the landlord to rent it, so she could only let people wait in the shop.
But until the Dragon Boat Festival passed in May, there was still no one to talk about the rent, Mu Qianlan began to doubt, I'm afraid that this shop is not rented but bought, right? Otherwise, who would put white flowers and silver unwanted?
Her own shop is also a very good shop in the county, she originally prepared more silver, waiting to be slandered, but now it's good, there is no news directly.
Mu Qianlan began to wonder again, why didn't he see Yang Lan come for such a long time, didn't he come every once in a while before? It's been four months this time.
Because she was busy, she didn't pay attention to it before, but now that the problem of this shop is present, she has to think of this person.
Speaking of which, Yang Lan really can't help but chatter, but just a few days later, Mu Qianlan was leading people to work in the field when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked back, it was Yang Lan who came with Jiu Li.
Yang Lan inquired all the way, only to know that Mu Qianlan was actually doing farm work in the field, but she was surprised, didn't her shop open very well? Why did it change to farming again? How can such a rough work in the wind and sun be done by a little girl?
"Girl, why did you go to the field yourself? If you're still short of people, tell me and I'll find you some. You are a girl's family, staying in the field, and you are not afraid of being tanned. Yang Lan turned over and dismounted, opened his mouth and chattered.
"No, you've already helped me a lot." Mu Qianlan squatted down, washed his hands from the canal next to him and said.
"And me, what else are you polite about." Yang Lan looked at Mu Qianlan while speaking, but was surprised to find that her face was still as white as ever, and it didn't seem to have darkened in the slightest due to the sun's rays.
Yang Lan knew that Mu Qianlan would put a thick layer of sunscreen on herself every day when she went to the field, and the sunscreen effect she added to the drug was naturally the best. And she will go in the space at night, one night in the space is equal to many days outside, even if it is a little tanned, it is enough to raise it back, so it will not become dark.
"God really favors you, you toss like this, and you are still so fair-skinned." Thinking in his heart, Yang Lan unconsciously said it, and even he wanted to reach out and pinch Mu Qianlan's face. However, after reaching out his hand, he still couldn't pinch it after all, but took it back.
In fact, the work in the fields is now available to Zhou Qiangwen, Zheng Yunfeng and others, and it doesn't matter if she is not there, so after a simple explanation, let them continue to work with people, and then accompany Yang Lan back to his house. (To be continued.) )
