Chapter 390: Buying Mountain Land
The second watch, ask for pink.
****………………***
The construction of temples and gardens for Empress Shen occupied two mountains and a large area of land. Some of these two mountains and land were originally the Shen family's property in Xiaoshentun, while the other was ownerless wasteland.
The reason why these wastelands are not cultivated is because most of them are mountainous and not suitable for growing food crops.
Even the mountainous land that the Man'er family wanted to buy was also wasteland. But because it is close to the project site, if you want to buy it, you must get the consent of the Shen family.
Lao Huang ran before and after, and within a few days, he did this matter.
The fields to the west from the temple forest at the foot of the mountain can be purchased by Lian Man'er's family.
Lian Man'er's family simply went west to the temple forest, and bought a large area of mountains and wasteland in Chapter 1390 that bordered the fields of Wanjiatun in the west. Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing father and son were the intermediaries, and when they measured and signed the documents, they also invited people from the county government to testify.
A whole piece of land, a total of sixty-eight acres. Because it is wasteland and mountainous land, the price is very cheap, only two taels of silver per mu. Coupled with the expenses of signing documents, paying taxes and exchanging silver for red deeds, moistening hands for relevant people, purchasing banquets, etc., the total is only one hundred and fifty-two taels of silver, and even Man'er's family does not have any strength, so someone has someone to help them do it properly, and even Man'er's small wooden box has an additional land deed.
There are also people in the village who laugh behind their backs that they are faint because of the amount of money, and think that there will be no production at all on that land.
Lian Man'er felt that the land was worth buying, and the soil of the wasteland was not suitable for growing crops, but it was very suitable for the growth of wild grapes.
According to the experience of picking wild grapes last autumn and this year, Lian Man'er roughly estimated that the yield of wild grapes per mu should be 600 to 700 catties.
If wild grapes are transplanted manually, enough fertilizer is applied, and careful care is given, the yield of wild grapes per mu can reach 900 catties, or even 1,000 catties. This may seem like a staggering number. But Lian Man'er still felt a little sorry for Chapter 390 to buy a mountain land. In her previous life, as far as she knew, the yield of good wild grapes per mu could be as high as 4,000 catties.
Sixty-eight acres of land. If you plant wild grapes, you can harvest 68,000 catties of wild grapes in a year. If these wild grapes are used to make wine and juice, how much will the profit be in a year?
Thinking about that number, Lian Man'er felt that the title deed she was holding in her hand was heavy, and it also emitted golden light, the light of gold.
Of course, to achieve such a harvest. The investment of manpower and material resources is indispensable.
It seems that she should plan as soon as possible and ask Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing to recommend some capable and reliable long-term and short-term workers.
The autumn is high and cool, the coolness in the air is becoming more and more obvious, and the crescent moon hanging in the night sky is also getting fat day by day. It's time to harvest. The seedlings of huā have withered and yellowed, the ears of sorghum have become red like fire, and the ears of millet have become full of grains. I could only bow my head. The outer husk of the corn also turned from green to yellow and white, and the corn beard dried up, and some of the corn husks even grinned at the tip. Reveal the plump, firm kernels inside.
To harvest the corn, Lian Man'er wrote a short message several days in advance and sent it to the mansion of Imperial Doctor Shi in the town, asking the housekeeper to send it to the Shen family in the mansion.
When the steward came back, he brought a message to Lian Man'er, saying that according to the day of corn harvest agreed in Lian Man'er's letter, the Shen family would arrange for someone to come and let her family prepare.
Come on. On the evening of the letter, the family sat in the courtyard behind the shop, enjoying the cool and discussing.
"It's not a few days to prepare. This year, let's harvest corn first. After the corn is harvested, let's harvest something else. "Even keep your word.
"This line, we have our own yard this year, we don't have to follow others to schedule shifts, and we can play when we want." Zhang's Road.
Next to the large newly built courtyard of the Lianjia. The Lian family built a threshing floor by themselves, and the ground had long been crushed and flat, just waiting for the grain to enter the warehouse.
"Mother, just a few people in our family, I'm afraid I can't be busy. If nothing else, just that corn is enough for us to harvest for a few days. I think we have to hire someone for the autumn harvest this year. Lian Man'er said.
"I've thought about this with your mother." Lian Shouxin and Zhang glanced at each other, and said, "Please be sure." Let's corn, please the people next to me, I'm not at ease yet. I discussed it with your mother, and all six members of our family are counted, and then you are counted as three members of your third uncle's family. ”
"Doesn't the third uncle still have to work?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Two days ago, when I talked about the autumn harvest, your third uncle said that he would take a few days off from the mountain when the time comes." Even keep your word.
Because he can learn the craft, Lian Shouli is very attentive to work, and it can be said that he is rain or shine. Being able to take the initiative to ask for leave and help harvest crops is rare in Lian Shouli. It can be seen that even Shouli is not a person who does not understand the world, he is grateful to his brother in his heart, and he really takes the affairs of his brother's family to heart.
"Plus Jiaxing and his father, you two children are counted as one laborer, so if you count it, there are almost ten laborers." Zhang said, "Tomorrow is the big gathering of the backers, I plan to send a letter to his grandfather, so that his grandfather and his uncle will also come to help us with a few jobs." ”
"At this time, his grandfather's house must be busy." Even keep your word.
"I know, aren't we going to use our own family? In fact, there is no need for us to say that his grandfather knows this letter, so he has to come. Zhang said.
A cool breeze blew from outside the courtyard, blowing a yellow huā petal on Xiao Qi's forehead.
Xiao Qi raised his face, pouted and blew at the huā petal, intending to blow the huā petal away. It's a pity that there is a nose in the way, and he can only do useless work.
Lian Man'er looked funny, and couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch Xiao Qirou's face again, and then pinched the huā petal.
This is the huā petal of the sunflower, look at the direction of the wind, it should be the wind blowing from the sunflower planted next to Lianji.
"Sister, Mao is ripe." Seeing that the tip of the huā petal was slightly dry, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up.
"Mother, let's cut the hair and eat." Lian Man'er said to Zhang.
"Mother, let's cut the hair and eat it." Xiao Qi immediately hugged Zhang's arm and rubbed it.
Zhang couldn't help but laugh.
"It's all grown by yourself, if you want to eat it, you can cut it and eat it, and ask me for something? Pick up the cooked scissors, just don't trample things. Zhang said with a smile.
Xiao Qi moved a stool, Lian Man'er ran into the house and got a pair of scissors, and the sister and brother went outside the yard to cut a plate of hair and eat.
"I'll go, just the size of the two of you, stepping on the stool, I'm afraid I won't be able to cut off the hair." Lian Shouxin stood up, took the stool from Xiao Qi's hand and carried it, and walked out of the courtyard first.
Zhang, Lian Zhi'er, and Gorou also followed.
At this time, most of the hairy ones are also mature, with big round heads hanging down, some of them are long, and a plate of hairy is the size of a wooden basin. On a hairy seedling, most of them only have one plate of hair, but there are also one or two forks, and most of them are smaller than those with a single plate of hair.
There are two kinds of huā on the huā plate of sunflowers, one is the asexual huā of the peripheral tongue-like huā petals, and the other is the columnar huā of the inner circle. For healthy sunflowers, you can judge the maturity of the sunflower seeds by looking at the degree of dryness of these two huās.
Xiao Qi took a good look at a large plate of Mao, Lian Shouxin put the stool under the Maozhi seedlings, took the scissors from Lian Man'er's hand, stepped on the stool, bent the Maoyan seedlings slightly, clicked the scissors, and cut off the Maozhi plate. Then, he picked up two more small plates of hair and snorted them, and the family returned to the yard with a smile.
Pull off all the dry huā on the hair plate, and the hair inside will be revealed. The skin of the tender and immature hairy is mostly white, and if it turns black, it means that the hairy is fully mature.
The three plates of hair they cut are all fully mature.
The fresh hairy food has not been dried, and the hairy kernels in it still contain some moisture, but it is already delicious when you eat it like this.
"Mother, the eldest huā cat of the second Ya's family has given birth, I asked her for one." Lian Man'er said to Zhang's while snorting, "It's just that the cat is still too young, I'm afraid I won't be able to raise it, so I asked Erya to help me raise it for a few more days, and let the kitten eat more milk." ”
"Mother, I've also been to see that kitten, it's fluffy, but it's beautiful." Xiao Qi interjected.
"It's time for our family to get a cat." Even keep your word.
The shop sells food, and it is easy to attract rats. Raising a cat, even if it is still a small milk cat, it meows a few times a day, which can cause a lot of deterrence to the rats who come to steal food.
"Raising cats, I'm in favor of this." Zhang said, "I'm busy, I didn't think about it, or you don't mention it, I also want a cat." "When I was at home before, I rarely had a cat or something, and when I got here, you didn't allow living animals in the milk house, and I didn't dare to raise them if I wanted to."
Even Shouxin immediately stopped squeaking.
"Mother, now we can raise whatever we want." Lian Man'er said.
"That's right." Zhang glanced at Lian Shouxin and couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, we can raise whatever we want. When you come to the new house in the future, whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. I didn't say anything anyway. Lian Shouxin said with a smile.
The smile on Zhang's face was even more obvious. Don't say anything, even the temperament of trustworthiness is extremely rare among men in this era. Thanks to Lian Shouxin's temperament, she has survived all these years under Zhou's hands.
In a blink of an eye, the agreed day of corn harvesting arrived.
