Zhoujiacun and Guo Dong's family were clear, and Yang Yun and his party were relieved to see that Guo Dongjia finally carried away all the pickles in Zhoujia Village. Li Zheng and Sister Li naturally want to thank Sister Li for helping. After thanking Sister Li, Yang Yun and the others returned to Zhoujia Village from the town. A few cartloads of pickled vegetables were sold for a few hundred taels of silver, and the bag of silver was brought back to the village by Li Li and distributed to everyone.

The matter of selling pickles made Yang Yun have a plan in her heart, no matter what she grows in the future, she must control the quantity in a planned way. We must no longer plant mustard in large quantities in the whole village like last year, and uncontrolled planting and production will cause a backlog of excess goods. Yang Yun decided to find a time to talk to Li Zheng about this matter, blindly following the trend and planting things will hurt everyone.

The wheat seeds and corn in the field have been sown, and now only five acres of sweet potatoes have not been sown, and the seedlings cultivated by Yang Yun in the backyard have sprouted and pumped. When the Yang Yun brothers and sisters get up every day, they first go to the backyard to water the seedlings, and at the beginning to help water the seedlings, Yang Yun uses branches to dip in water and gently spray them on the sand bed.

Because the rice seeds are only covered with a thin layer of sand, if the watering water is too strong, the rice seeds will be washed out. Yang Yun had no choice but to spray the sand bed with water from tree branches. Don't look at it too much, you can use branches to dip in water, and the work of watering rice and planting will really tire people to death. Later, Yang Yun once saw her grandmother watering flowers in the yard, and remembered that she could use a shower to water seedlings.

Yang Yun found a relatively small bucket and asked her grandfather to wear a hole in the lower part of the bucket, the size of the hole needs to accommodate the thick bamboo knots of the hand bowl, the two ends of the bamboo knots are connected, one end is connected to the bottom of the bucket, and the other end is plugged with a wooden block full of small holes, so that a simple barrel flower pot is made. With this bucket pot, the seedlings can be watered much faster every day.

The five-acre sweet potato field Yang family spent a few days sowing it, and today it is finally the day of transplanting, and the seedlings cultivated in the backyard can be transplanted to the field. The two acres of wasteland under the right mountain have been converted into paddy fields, and the people of the Yang family have pulled water to pour it into the ground during these days, which will turn the two acres of wasteland into paddy fields, which are full of water. Although it will be a little harder to do so, as long as the land on Youshan can grow rice, Yang Yun plans to dig a large pond on Youshan to store water, and then irrigate the paddy fields in the future.

Before pulling the seedlings, it is easier to water them again to make the sand bed moist. Seedlings from the sand bed, carefully uprooted, when pulling seedlings should pay attention, can not directly pull out the seedlings from the bottom to the top, but to the left or right, along a direction quickly uprooted, using this method to pull out the seedlings, can minimize the probability of damaging the seedling roots.

After the seedlings are pulled out, they are bundled into bundles, and then the top part of the seedling leaves should be cut off with a sickle, which is conducive to the growth of the seedlings again. After the seedlings were picked in the field, Yang Yun taught her grandfather to sow seeds in a modern way. The Yang family and the Li family spent a day sowing all the seedlings. This year, the Li family did not plant rice with the Yang family, perhaps Uncle Li did not believe that wasteland could be transformed into paddy fields, nor did he believe that rice could be planted successfully.

In fact, Yang Yun didn't know the bottom in her heart, there was no high-yield hybrid rice in this era. Although Yang Yun has screened seeds, the seeds of this era are inherently flawed, and the yield can only be increased by improving rice seeds in the later stage.

The Yang family's bizarre way of planting rice has brought a new remark to Zhoujia Village. If it weren't for the Yang family telling the villagers about the planting method of sweet potatoes, maybe the villagers of Zhoujia Village would still be planting sweet potatoes in the traditional way.

It's March 22, and the chicks and ducklings on the other side of the pond have already hatched. The spring ploughing in Zhoujia Village is also over, and the villagers have rested for two days, and Li Zheng led the villagers to plant green plum trees on the right mountain. Yang Yun is also busy with the villagers, planting green plum trees is a very important thing, it is related to the future development direction of Zhoujia Village. Yang Yun asked the villagers to dig up the wild green plum saplings by the roots and then plant the saplings in the designated location.

Yang Yun planted the entire right mountain with green plum trees according to the square specifications. The distance between the two trees is 2 meters, and the distance between the two trees is just right. In the future, the branches and foliage of the two green plum trees will be too luxuriant, and the branches and leaves will have to be pruned. The distance between the front and back of the vertical plum tree is 2.5 meters. It can accommodate people to move around, rest, and even set up a table and chairs.

Yang Yun planned to plant green plum trees, not only to harvest green plum fruits to soak in wine, when the green plum trees in the mountains are full of white flowers, swaying in the cold wind, it will be a beautiful scenery, how touching and heartstring-like. Yang Yun automatically described the beautiful scenery of plum blossoms in her mind, and when this beautiful scenery descended on Zhoujia Village, Zhoujia Village would have a wide range of wealth.

Climbing the mountain is a very hard thing, Yang Yun followed Li Zheng, on the right mountain to guide the village people to plant green plum trees, and then Li Zheng was fully qualified for this job, Yang Yun handed over the work to Li Zheng. After that, Yang Yun rarely went up the mountain, and occasionally went up when he had time to see how the green plum trees were planted in the village.

It took the villagers of Zhoujia Village half a month to plant 50% of the space on the right mountain with green plum trees. At this time, the wild green plum fruits on the mountain were also ripe, and after discussing with her family, Yang Yun found Li Zheng and asked the villagers to pay for the brewing of green plum wine. In the past, the Yang family and the Li family brewed their own plum wine, but this year, the whole village made fruit wine together.

In the past, the Yang family only picked some of the green plums on the mountain and came back to make wine, but this time, the whole village collected all the wild green plums on the mountain. After cleaning and selection, the intact green plums are picked out for soaking. Yang Yun asked the villagers to dig a big pit and throw the broken green plums into the pit to rot and ferment, and after the flesh of the green plums rotted, the kernels were fished out and cultivated into small saplings.

Due to the large amount of green plum wine brewed this time, Li Zheng asked the villagers to temporarily stack the large wine jars in the baking house, which has 100 square meters, enough to stack dozens of large wine jars, and wait for the village to re-select the address, build a house for storing fruit wine, and then move the wine jars over.

After the villagers finished brewing the green plum wine, they were finally able to rest, and Yang Yun saw that the villagers were already free, so she decided to be busy with her own affairs. The workshop wants to rebuild the house, the Yang family still has 20 acres of burdock cabbage has not been harvested, April is the time to harvest burdock cabbage, if it exceeds May, the root diameter of burdock is easy to hollow, it will affect the quality of burdock tea, so we must seize the time to dig burdock cabbage.

This morning, Yang Yun told her grandfather at breakfast that she was going to the village today to find the villagers to help dig burdock vegetables. Who knew that after breakfast, Li Zheng, his son, and Uncle Zhou came to Yang's house to find Yang Yun.

"Xiao Yun's grandfather, we came here today to ask the Yang family to help the villagers." Li Zheng and the three of them, as soon as they arrived at Yang's house, they said that they were here to ask for help today.

"Lizheng, you have something to say." Grandpa didn't understand the villagers, what else did the Yang family need to help, but as long as the Yang family could help, the Yang family would try their best to help. Yang Yun listened from the sidelines, but she could guess the purpose of Li Zheng's visit today.

"That's the case, our village has finished brewing fruit wine, and the people in the village are going to build a house to store fruit wine, but during this time, everyone has paid for mountains and wine, and they are already stretched, and I came to find Xiao Yun's grandfather today to ask the Yang family if they can help everyone." It turned out that Li was borrowing money on behalf of the villagers, which was similar to what Yang Yun guessed.

It cost three hundred taels of silver to buy the entire right mountain, of which two hundred taels of silver were borrowed from the villagers by Kong Zhongkan, and Yang Yun knew that it was not good for Li Zheng to borrow money from Kong Zhongkan. During this time, the villagers pooled money again, bought wine and came back to soak green plums, naturally they were already shy in their pockets, and green plum wine could not be sold for money until at least autumn, so Yang Yun could guess the purpose of Li Zhenglai.

"If the villagers need help, the Yang family should do their best, but I don't know if the Yang family can help everyone." Grandpa said with some reservations, how much money the Yang family has, grandpa still has a number in his heart, Yang Yun often reports to grandpa, grandpa doesn't know how much the villagers want to borrow, and he won't easily agree for a while.

"In this ......, the villagers don't borrow much, only about a hundred taels of silver are enough." Li Zheng thought that the Yang family earned two hundred taels of silver by selling green plum wine last time, and Li Zheng budgeted for himself to build a two-hundred-square-meter brick house, one hundred taels should be enough, so he opened his mouth to borrow one hundred taels of silver from the Yang family.

"The money in the family is managed by Yun Yatou, Yun Yatou, look at the money in the account at home, there is such silver lent." Grandpa asked Yang Yun this because he wanted Yang Yun to be the master. Yang Yun also told her grandfather a few days ago that if a house for storing fruit wine was built in the village, what kind of specifications would be needed, and Yang Yun also said at the time that at least two hundred taels of silver would be used. So grandpa wanted Yang Yun to decide how much money to give Lizheng.

"Uncle Lizheng, can you tell me what kind of house you plan to build to store fruit wine?" Yang Yun wanted to ask what Li Zheng meant, to see if it would be the same as what he thought, if there was a difference, Yang Yun hoped that Li Zheng could follow his advice and build a house to store fruit wine. If the money is not enough, the Yang family can lend this money to the villagers, and Yang Yun's initial budget is three hundred taels of silver.

"About a 200-square-meter brick house." Li Zheng also didn't know much about the storage conditions of fruit wine, for Li Zheng, it was enough to have a sturdy room where fruit wine could be stored. As soon as Yang Yun heard it, she knew that the conditions that Li Zheng was thinking about did not meet her requirements, and it seemed that she had to rely on herself to help the villagers design a house for storing green plum wine.
