When Steward Zhong came, even Man'er was overjoyed and hurriedly took it out. Steward Zhong was carrying a bag in his hand and was greeting Lian Shouxin. Seeing the bag in Steward Zhong's hand, Lian Man'er's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she was even more sure of the purpose of Steward Zhong's visit this time.

Letting the bell steward sit down in the house, Lian Man'er was busy making tea, and packed the best snacks and fruits in the house in a box, and brought it up.

"Even the girl doesn't have to be polite." Steward Zhong owed a debt and thanked Lian Man'er politely.

"Steward Zhong, don't be polite to us when you get here." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.

"Are the sixth and ninth masters all right?" Even Man'er arranged the tea and fruits, and asked with a smile.

"The two masters are good, let me talk, and also ask the girl's family how it is." Steward Zhong was also smiling, and handed over the bag in his hand after saying the words of Chapter 276 Spring Ploughing. "When the ninth master was leaving, he promised to send the girl some corn, and specially sent me to send it over."

"We're going to take it." Lian Shouxin hurriedly said, "My daughter is young and not very sensible. What the child's family said, the sixth master and the ninth master recognized it. This also asked Steward Zhong to make a special trip to send it over, this, this can make us go there so happily in our hearts! ”

Lian Shouxin was polite to Steward Zhong, and Lian Man'er had already reached out and took the bag. The bag was quite pressing, and Lian Man'er opened the mouth of the bag, and inside was peeled corn kernels. Shen Xiaopang obviously picked it out and sent it to her, and the corn was golden and plump. This bag of corn is estimated to be at least thirty or forty pounds.

That's probably a lot of acres of land!

Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile with crooked eyebrows. Lian Man'er grabbed a handful of corn kernels in her hand, and the image of the little fat became tall in her mind. At that time, she told Shen Xiaopang that she wanted more corn, but in fact, she was not sure in her heart, whether the Shen family would agree, and she was not sure that after Shen Xiaopang returned to the Shen family. Will you really take this matter to heart?

These days, Lian Man'er has been thinking about this in her heart. Every extra day that passes. The hope in her heart Chapter 276 Spring Ploughing will be one point less. Today. The bell steward brought the corn. Lian Man'er was overjoyed.

Shen Xiaopang is a good friend, although he is young, he is a person who does what he says. This made Lian Man'er have to refresh her impression of Shen Qian again, even if she was young. The body is too round, and it has a tendency to be a foodie. But as long as he has enough friends and speaks, Shen Xiaopang is a qualified little man.

"Steward Zhong, little ...... The Ninth Master asked you to send corn. The sixth master must know about this, right? Lian Man'er was finally willing to put down the corn bag. He raised his head and asked Steward Zhong, "What do you have to say about the sixth master?" Did the Ninth Master give us a message? ”

In my heart, I was used to calling Shen Xiaopang, so I changed my name to Jiu Ye or something, and I was really a little awkward and uncomfortable with that, Lian Man'er smiled secretly.

“…… The ninth master told the sixth master about this. These corns were prepared by the sixth master with the help of his subordinates. knew that the girl was going to plant in the ground. The sixth master and the ninth master both instructed to pick the best. "Before I came, I went to say hello to the sixth and ninth masters. The sixth master didn't have any special instructions. "Just saying. Let Miss Lian have something to do, just send a letter to the past. "The Ninth Master has instructed a lot of words......"

When Steward Zhong said this, he smiled himself.

"The Ninth Master asked Miss Lian, as well as the Fifth Young Master and the Little Seventh Young Master if they were okay, don't forget him if there is anything fun, and asked Miss Lian when she was free to go to Fucheng, but remember to go to him."

Steward Zhong spoke much more politely this time than before. is to Wulang and Xiaoqi, they all call the young master.

"When the ninth master comes home, he often talks about Lian Girl, the fifth young master and the seventh young master, and they can't wait to play together every day." Steward Zhong said again, "I sent someone to deliver corn, I am afraid that people will be inappropriate and delay Miss Lian's affairs." "Seeing that I have been doing things safely over the years, and I am familiar with the shopkeeper, I was specially sent here. I was instructed to do so, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment, for fear of missing the farming time. ”

Send something, you can really send a small guy casually. Steward Zhong should be very respectable and capable in the Shen family, and he also dealt with the Lian family and sent him here, which shows that Shen Liu and Shen Xiaopang attach great importance to this matter.

"This is the grace of the sixth and ninth masters to us." Lian Shouxin said with gratitude.

Steward Zhong is a busy man, and after explaining the corn matter, he will leave and leave. Lian Shouxin naturally stayed with each other, and finally Lian Man'er booked a table of first-class banquets from the town, and in the early shop, Lian Shouxin accompanied Steward Zhong to eat.

While Steward Zhong was eating, Lian Man'er also wrote a letter. The letter was addressed to Shen Qian, first of all, thanking him for sending corn. Then it's to talk about some homely things, what little scalper has grown strength again, the little pig's appetite has increased again, the little hen has become a little rooster, what yesterday picked a basket of Huaihuā, and the noodles are particularly sweet, etc., of course, I also talked about the homework of Gorou and Xiao Qi.

"Mr. Lu said that my brother will study hard like this, and he will be able to take the children's examination next year. Xiao Qi is still young, and he has to wait another year. Chubby, didn't you say you've been studying for years? When are you going to take the exam? ”

"Mr. Lu also praised me, saying that if I were a man, I could also end up with my brother." Lian Man'er thought about it and added another sentence.

In this way, the parents wrote two pages of letterhead.

After Lian Man'er finished writing, she read it again and felt more satisfied, so she folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope and sealed it. When Steward Zhong left, Lian Man'er took out the letter and asked Steward Zhong to give it to Shen Qian.

As for the greetings to Shen Liu, he asked Steward Zhong to express it on his behalf. First, Lian Man'er didn't think that Shen Liu would have time to read her letter. Second, Shen Liu is different from Shen Qian, she doesn't think she can write a letter to Shen Liu. And she always felt closer to Shen Qian.

Shen Qian is still young, and it is nothing to write letters, and when he grows up, I am afraid that he will have to avoid suspicion.

Steward Zhong carefully put away Lian Man'er's letter and said that it would be delivered.

Lian Man'er prepared another red envelope, one for each of the coachmen and entourage who followed Steward Zhong. The part of the bell steward is naturally extra thickened.

This time, Steward Zhong excused himself slightly, and accepted it with a smile.

…………

The corn that was put on the kang to sprout had grown a bud half the length of a little finger, and even the vine deliberately opened a small vegetable field to come out, manure, plough the ground, cultivate, and intensively sow the corn sprouts.

Take care of it, this year, she will be able to eat fragrant boiled tender corn! Lian Man'er thought to herself.

In a blink of an eye, it was the season of valley rain, just like the poem described in the poem "Rain in the Qingming Festival" and as reflected in the word "valley rain", two rains fell in succession, and the spring plowing of the thirty-mile camp began.

Lian Man'er's family is busier than others. They have to take care of the business of the early shop, and at the same time rush to finish planting the land at the most suitable time.

Before planting, the family sat down and planned carefully.

This year, the family has 51 acres of land to plant. The six acres of land under the South Mountain are the income of the family, and they are intended to be used to grow huāsheng. Huā sheng is a relatively high value cash crop, and the farmers rarely grow huā sheng for their own food, but for selling it for money.

These six acres of huāsheng can be sold for more than 30 taels of silver by the time of the autumn harvest. This ~~-update debut~~ is just an approximate income, excluding the seed money, the net income is in the early thirties.

Then there was the north, and the land they bought after they separated, one was twenty-five acres, and the other was twenty acres, and the two plots of land were not connected together, and there was a piece of land in between. Two days ago, Lian Shouxin found the relevant owner's house and discussed changing the land. Because they were on the same land, the soil was the same, so it didn't take much to talk about it, and the matter was settled.

The 45 acres of land of Lianman'er's family are connected into a piece, which is more convenient for farming.

"Sorghum and millet, both of which cannot be planted less." Lian Shouxin said that sorghum rice is the staple food of the villagers, and in winter, sticky bean buns that are ground into bread are also an indispensable staple food. So, you have to plant enough of both. "There are six of us, I think we have to plant at least ten acres of sorghum, and if we have millet, five or six acres are enough." It's enough for our family's food rations for a year, and it's almost enough for tax food. ”

"Well, that's fine." Zhang nodded in agreement.

Determined first. The planting area of grain and tax grain, followed by corn and sweet potatoes, which Lian Man'er attaches the most importance to.

"We now have almost forty catties of corn seeds, didn't we plant one piece first that day, according to my father's calculations, one acre of land has to use almost two catties of seeds, then we can plant twenty acres of corn this year." Lian Man'er said, "The sweet potato seedlings have not grown well, let's set aside an acre of land first, and if the seedlings are not enough, let's plant some beans or something, and we won't miss anything." ”

These 21 acres of land have been planted, and the income cannot be estimated for the time being. But one thing is for sure, that's going to be a surprising number.

"I think it's okay, our family has enough land to plant this year, except. In the grain land, corn and sweet potatoes can be planted first, and the rest can be planted with others. "Even keep the word.

"Millet is calculated according to six acres of land, which is thirty-seven acres, and there are eight acres of land." Little Seven Ways. He is still learning arithmetic with Mr. Lu now, and the accounts are faster, and he doesn't need an abacus at all for ordinary small amounts.

"If you plant six acres of millet seeds, you can't plant less beans. Otherwise, when the time comes, we will have to buy another azuki bean. Zhang said.

"And soybeans," Gorou said, because he was discussing the matter of farming, and he rarely held a scroll in his hand today. "Let's send bean sprouts, change oil, change tofu or something, and get soybeans for all ages."

"Well, there are many varieties of soybeans." Zhang said.

The family discussed for a long time, and finally decided to plant five acres of soybeans, one and a half acres of small beans, and the remaining one and a half acres of land, so as to plant some mung beans, sesame seeds and other miscellaneous grains.

"Let's start planting the six acres of land in the south tomorrow." Even keep the word.

"Daddy, kid, aren't we looking for helpers for farming?" Zhang asked.

“…… The old man told me that this year, he plans to ...... Tenant a few acres of land for planting. Lian Shouxin said suddenly. !!
