Chapter 52: Harvesting Winter Turnips

After the brother and sister finished picking the cloth and cotton, they fought with the store to make cloth for quilt covers and cloth for clothes, and Yang Yun picked strong and durable linen and cotton cloth.

Yang Yun used all the ruthlessness of going to wholesale shopping malls in her previous life to bargain, and finally bargained with the shopkeeper of the cloth shop for 2,100 wen, which was 300 wen cheaper, Yang Yun felt that when the shopkeeper came to his senses, he would regret it to death. Yang Yun** shopkeeper next time and next time, and next time I will come to the cloth shop to buy a bunch of goods, and by the way, I will introduce the whole village to the shopkeeper's store to buy goods, Yang Yun drew a super big and inedible cake for the shopkeeper.

After cutting the price and paying the silver, it happened that the grandfather came to the cloth shop to pick up Yang Yun and them, and the two brothers and sisters quickly packed up the cloth and cotton and left quickly.

"Why are you two kids in such a hurry carrying things?" Grandpa watched the two brothers and sisters come out of the cloth shop and hurried to Zhoujia Village, and the grandfather followed the two with food, chasing their brother and sister. The brother and sister slowed down when they arrived at the gate of the town, stopped to wait for their grandfather, and the two suddenly looked at each other and laughed.

"Sister, did you think the shopkeeper would come after us?"

"Not really, but he may not be able to sleep tonight, and he might blacklist all of us."

"Sister, what's the blacklist."

"Well, treating us as guests who refuse to trade is equivalent to saying that we won't sell anything in the future."

"Haha, did you say we went too far just now?"

"Brother, you are stupid again, the businessman is profit-seeking, we just bargained fiercely, the shopkeeper made less money, but he will definitely not lose money."

"Makes sense, haha......" The brother and sister laughed again.

"You two kids, why are you running so fast, and you're not afraid of dropping a bunch of things." Grandpa finally caught up with the food.

"Grandpa, put some things over and let Xiao Yun and my brother hold them." The brother and sister both carried a bamboo basket on their backs to help their grandfather distribute some of the grain, and the grandfather's burden was much lighter, and the three of them slowly walked back to Zhoujia Village. Because it was not the day of the market, it was difficult to hire an ox cart in the town, so I had to walk home slowly, and if I was tired, I would rest on the road and then hit the road.

The three of them went home in the afternoon, and they bought a lot of things today, and they were very tired when they came back, so they kept the radishes for harvesting tomorrow morning. After grandpa went home for dinner, he went to Uncle Li to discuss the purchase of wasteland, Yang Yun and her grandmother took the cloth to cut and make quilt covers, spun cotton into quilts, and Yang Yong helped to help.

In the evening, the grandfather told the family that Uncle Li's family would also buy six acres of wasteland, and the wasteland of the two families would be reclaimed together, and a total of twelve acres of wasteland would be reclaimed. After harvesting the radish, go to the back mountain to see which piece of land is suitable, and then buy it. Tomorrow, Uncle Li's family will come over to help harvest the radish.

Early the next morning, the two families went to the backyard after breakfast to harvest the radishes of the half acre of land. After harvesting the radish, Yang Yun left half of it for pickling, and half of it was cleaned up and put in the cellar. Yang Yun pickled radishes are relatively simple, dig a pit of about one and a half meters next to the radish field, spread straw, clean the radish, and then there is a layer of radish and a layer of salt, cover it with straw after pickling, turn the radish out to bask in the sun the next day, this night is collected, and the work of turning and drying during the day must last at least ten days to pickle the radish well.

After collecting the radish, Yang Yun, her grandfather, and Uncle Li went to the back mountain to take a look around the mountain to see which piece of land was suitable for clearing the wasteland. After going around the back mountain, the land in the back mountain was almost reclaimed by the villagers, and the three of them could only go to the left mountain and the right mountain to go around. After turning around, Yang Yun took a fancy to the piece of land at the foot of the right mountain, which was very close to the right mountain. Yang Yun checked the surrounding soil situation, and felt that the soil quality at the foot of the right mountain was okay, not barren to the point of being miserable, Yang Yun looked at the lush woods on the right mountain, and the rotten leaves that had been piled up under the woods for many years were the best organic fertilizer.

After a circle, the three of them returned to Yang's house and discussed the matter of buying wasteland. Grandpa and Uncle Li naturally wanted to buy wasteland farther away from the back mountain, at least to be able to open up with the wasteland of the villagers. And Yang Yun decided to buy the wasteland at the foot of the right mountain.

"Grandpa, Uncle Li Xiaoyun thinks it's better than the wasteland at the foot of the right mountain, you see that the fat and thin of the soil is related to the color of the soil, like the yellow clay we build a house, the soil quality is the worst can only build a house, you can observe the better harvest in the village, the color of the soil is close to dark gray, and those barren soil is gray-white." People say that this is the reason for the bumper harvest of black soil.

"Is there such a reason?"

"Yes, you and Grandpa can go and take a look, and Xiao Yun took a look, the wasteland at the foot of the right mountain, there are not so many stones, although it is also very desolate, but the ground is relatively flat."

"Xiao Yun, there will be no one to open up the wasteland in the right mountain, and there will only be two of us at that time, and the wild animals on the mountain will always run down to steal food, and we will be equal to white seeds." As a hunter, Uncle Li still understands the situation of several mountains in Zhoujia Village, and the right mountain is lush with forests and many wild animals.

"In this situation, Xiao Yun has also thought about it, we can build a row of fences around the wasteland, there is wood on the mountain, just cut some to make railings, it doesn't have to be the same as the fence around the house we live in now." Yang Yun thought of a simple fence, criss-crossed, and nailed with wooden sticks (X, I) in the middle. Yang Yun found a small stick and drew it on the ground for Grandpa and Uncle Li. The wooden fence around the houses in Zhoujia Village is surrounded by tight timber such as "III", which is more expensive to use.

"The method that Xiao Yun said is also feasible, what do you think, Uncle Yang." Uncle Li looked at the fence that Yang Yun had drawn for him, and felt that this method was feasible, and it was more economical and effort-saving. It seems that Uncle Li persuaded Yang Yun, and it will depend on what Yang Yun's grandfather says.

"Just listen to Xiao Yun, although there is no one at the foot of the right mountain, if the geology is better, it will also be of great help to our planting, so that the harvest can be better." Fortunately, grandpa also agreed, otherwise Yang Yun would have to dig a pit and make fertilizer at that time, and it would be another remark for the villagers to do these things. There will be no one at the foot of the right mountain to open up the wasteland there, and when the time comes, the Yang family and the Li family will do something and few people will notice.

"Grandpa and Uncle Li don't need to enclose all the wooden fences, just enclose a few acres of land near the foot of the mountain, and the land far away from the foot of the mountain doesn't need to be enclosed."

"Well, that's the truth, then it's decided, see when you find Li Zheng to measure the ground." Grandpa and Uncle Li both agreed with Yang Yun's approach.

"Just tomorrow, when the time comes, buy some wine and meat and go to Lizheng's house to sit, and let him help us measure the land as soon as possible." Grandpa made the final decision, and after the two families discussed the purchase of wasteland, they went to work on their own business. Yang Yun went back to the house to help her grandmother make quilts and clothes, and her grandfather went to renovate the vegetable patch in the backyard.
