Soon, Xiang Zhuangtou came with four girls, two ten-year-olds, two eight-year-olds, not very good-looking, at most delicate, in the past two years, Xinliuzhuang has become rich, and the tenant farmers have eaten a full meal, and there is still money in their hands, so the children have grown up, looking at the sunshine, health, and simplicity.

Li Niang called the four girls up one by one, checked their pulses, and checked that they had no hidden diseases, and felt clean and cute, so she told Xiang Zhuangtou that these four should be taken away.

When I bought Zhuangzi, I signed a deed of sale with the tenant farmers, and these girls were also slaves belonging to Li Niang, and they said that they would take them away, no formalities were required, and the girls had already known that they were going to serve the young lady, and they were ready in their hearts.

It's just a little bad, the children of the tenant farmers can't have good names in order to make a good living, this girl and that flower, take it out to laugh off the big teeth of the beautiful girls in the capital, so Li Niang took a minute to change their names.

"Spring flowers, autumn moon, summer lotus, winter snow!"

"Miss Xie's name!"

The four little girls felt that the new name was too nice and connotative, so they knelt down and kowtowed, and Li Niang's first inner house team was freshly baked.

Peach Blossom panted in with her pink flower skirt, and looked at the four little girls on the ground in surprise, "Miss, what are they doing here?" ”

"Oh, I changed their names, they sound and call, and they're thanking me." As soon as Li Niang said that casually, she sent the girl home to prepare, and waited at the gate of Zhuangzi at the end of the morning tomorrow morning.

"Wait? What are you waiting for? Where is the young lady going to take them? Peach Blossom had a bad premonition in her heart, and when she saw that the young lady seemed to be very happy, she asked again.

Unexpectedly, Li Niang suddenly started a fire, glared at Peach Blossom angrily and said, "Are you the master or am I the master?" Why do I have to explain to you what I did? In what capacity are you talking to me?! ”

"Uh, I'm sorry......" Looking at the master's sharp and cold eyes, Peach Blossom was frightened, and she couldn't resist the pressure and knelt down.

"Get out, get out!" Li Niang waved her hand, and hurriedly told the girls to go, the peach blossoms fell at the end, and when she turned back step by step, she saw that Li Niang ignored her meaning, so she had to hang her head and do things.

After eating the lunch prepared by Aunt Xiang, Li Niang wore a big straw hat and went out, followed by Xiang Zhuangtou and Liu Shun, and introduced her to the various crop planting plans in the field.

Li Niang is preparing to launch potatoes and sweet potatoes this year, and now all the dry land in Xinliuzhuang is used to grow these two crops, and in the meal just now, there are sweet potato leaves and sour and hot potato shreds that Li Niang loves to eat.

Li Niang let Xiang Zhuangtou dig a nest of potatoes, and found that the growth is really good, big and full, and there are many fruits, and the production capacity per mu is expected to reach 5,000 catties, a bumper harvest.

If it is sold as a vegetable, 5,000 catties of potatoes are not worth much, but Li Niang has a big appetite, she is ready to sell it as seeds, and the potato seeds accumulated by the Mo family are all planted in the four Zhuangzi this year, in order to make first-hand seed money.

After it is popularized next year, potatoes will become the price of cabbage, a penny a catty, and then a penny of two catties or three catties will slowly fall, and gradually become a common dish on the table of the people across the country.

After digging a nest of sweet potatoes, it is expected that the yield of sweet potatoes is comparable to that of potatoes, which is about 5,000 catties, and these two crops, Xinliuzhuang planted a total of 100 acres, my God, how much does this have to be......

Xiang Zhuangtou and Liu Shun couldn't calm down, especially Liu Shun, he knew in his heart that the four Zhuangzi were planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in large quantities, which added up to an astronomical amount.

Thinking that Liu Jiazhuang also got a lot of potatoes and sweet potato seeds this year, Liu Shun was happy again, his father and brother were in charge of affairs over there, and the more money he earned, the more money his father and brother would reward, and then his father would support his eldest sons, and he and his daughter-in-law would have a better life.

"Uncle Xiang, you can start collecting it tomorrow, you must do a good job of protection in the warehouse, don't let the rats bite, sweet potato vines are good feed, cut and dry and preserve, and then you can feed pigs and fish."

Last spring, she introduced lotus root seeds from the south and planted them in the fish pond, and now it is harvest season.

There is a small wooden house by the fish pond, there is a row of duck sheds on the side of the house, the old man Chen who guards the pond has been waiting there, as soon as Li Niang arrives, a simple salute, the old man Chen will go down the pond with a long stick with a bare foot, and soon pick a lotus root and hand it over, the muddy water ticks, and take the lotus root to the head of the village and hold it up to Li Niang to see.

"Oh, that's fat." Li Niang smiled, "Our place is still almost interesting to the climate in the south, it's good to be able to grow like this, Uncle Chen bothered." ”

Old man Chen said yes, and then changed two places to pick up two lotus roots, both of which were as thick as a child's arm, which was all grown and ready to be harvested.

Li Niang asked Old Man Chen to come up, and then grabbed a handful of silver peanuts from his purse, and didn't count much, about seven or eight, and stuffed them directly into Old Man Chen's hands, saying that it was a reward for him, the fish were well raised, the ducks were well raised, and now the lotus root has also been raised, and Old Man Chen has made a great contribution, and he should be rewarded.

The results were affirmed by the master, and he got such a rich reward, the old man Chen was so excited that his old face flushed, and he was full of motivation, and he couldn't help but suggest to Li Niang again, saying that several noble people in the neighborhood have learned to raise fish and ducks with our Xinliuzhuang, and now the duck eggs are not easy to sell, can we change the way and marinate the duck eggs into salted eggs and then sell them?

"Salted duck eggs? You can have this. Li Niang was very happy that the tenant farmers could think about Zhuangzi, and praised him fiercely, and then said: "This month's duck eggs are all pickled into salted duck eggs, I remember that my master Yideng Taoist said, when pickling salted eggs, add two coins of sorghum wine to five catties of salt water, then the duck egg yolk is particularly easy to produce oil, delicious, you can try it." ”

"Add two coins of sorghum wine to the brine of pickled salted eggs...... "Xiang Zhuangtou immediately took out a small notebook and charcoal pen to make a record, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and it will be handed over to the juniors in the future, saving how much professor's time."

After Xiang Zhuangtou finished remembering, Li Niang said: "Next month's duck eggs will be saved first, and I will go back to check the classics left by the master to see if there is any other way to do it besides salted duck eggs." ”

Li Niang wants to make Songhua preserved eggs, and at this time, I don't know if anyone on the Songhua River has made this, she has to go back to check, but with the almighty master and a lamp leader as a cover, it shouldn't be a big problem to get a preserved egg.

Leaving the fish pond, Li Niang went to see the growth of sorghum again, she also broke a sorghum stalk and tasted the sweetness, it felt good, it could not be compared with Xian Yixian No. 2, but sugar extraction was still relatively profitable, otherwise the Du family would not have been in the brown sugar business.
