Chinese New Year's Eve night, add a New Year's greeting to all book friends...... Corn, sorghum, millet, beans, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc. are all harvested in the same way. The crops of more than 200 acres of land could not be put in the yard, so they were piled up in the front yard.

The crops were taken from the ground and dried in the yard before they could begin. During the drying period, Lian Shouxin was busy leading people to harvest grapes and start making wine.

Sixty-eight acres of grapes are used to make wine, and the yield is incomparable to that of the wild grapes picked in the ravine in the previous two years to make wine. In order to make the wine of better quality and longer shelf life, Lian Maner plans to continue to make wine in porcelain jars this time, but after the wine is successfully made, he plans to switch to wooden barrels to store wine.

Chapter 515 of the Rough Porcelain Wine Altar was decided immediately from Zhaojia Village, and the wooden barrel for storing wine was found by a few carpenters, given the size and timber and a part of the deposit, and agreed on how many barrels to pay when it expired. Even Shouli naturally received an order.

Lian Shouli, Wulang and Xiaoqi took people to the field to pick grapes and transport them to their homes, while Zhang, Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er were responsible for taking people to make wine at home. Among them, Lian Man'er and Gorou also have to take care of Lian Ji, as well as the affairs of the fish pond and the lotus pond, and the family is so busy that they almost fall asleep at night with their heads on the pillow. The next day, I still had to get up before dawn.

The family's diligence naturally reaped the rewards they deserved.

The brewery across the courtyard in front can no longer fit their jar for winemaking, so they can only put part of the brewed wine in the back courtyard for storage.

On this day, the work of picking and making wine finally came to an end, and after dinner, the family gathered in the inner courtyard and the landlord's house, where they sat and talked.

"I guess there are still two days left before the grapes are finished." Even Shouxin said that if the normal pace was followed, the grapes would have been picked by now. But the progress of the grape picking. It is also necessary to take into account the progress of making wine at home. Because the grapes are picked, it is best to make a decision immediately after picking them, and if they are left for a long time, it will affect the quality and taste of the wine. This is the experience that Lian Maner has learned from the process of making wine in the previous two days. Although perhaps there are subtle differences. But she always wanted to improve.

"By then, you'll be able to finish your wine, right?" Even Shouxin asked.

"Two more days, and that should be fine." Zhang glanced at Lian Man'er and nodded.

"Then the wine is finished, shall we fight first, or will we bring back the firewood from the field first?" Gorou asked.

"Let's fight first, then Chai He is not in a hurry. Just pull it back before winter. Lian Shouxin said, "It's just that there is no place to put firewood in our yard this year." I looked around the yard today, and I planned to wait for the firewood to come back, so we would build a few firewood piles outside the yard. ”

"Dad, the location of the firewood pile has to be chosen. It's better to stay away from our yard. By the way, you have to choose the direction of the wind. Gorou said.

"I've thought about it all. I'll show you the place when it's clear, and you'll see if it's okay. "Even keep your word. One of the advantages of Lian Shouxin is that he is never self-righteous. Don't put a parent's score. When there is something at home, as long as Zhang and the children have opinions, he is willing to listen carefully.

And since the separation. Gorou has studied, and now he has been admitted to Xiucai, and even Shouxin is even more convinced of Goro's words.

"If we want to plant winter wheat, we have to clear it first." Gorou said again.

"That must be." Lian Shouxin nodded.

They discussed again which plot of land was suitable for planting winter wheat.

"Or maybe it's still the land next to Nanshan that costs five taels of silver and one acre." Lian Man'er said. That land was planted with ten acres of spring wheat this year, and now there is still a second crop of cabbage and soybeans, so naturally it is not possible to plant winter wheat again, but there are another ten acres, this year is planted with peanuts, and it happens to be planted with winter wheat next.

"For this line, let's use a few acres of land to grow peanuts. It can also save some trouble, and there is no need to cut the fork. Lian Shouxin said, "When the fight here is almost complete, we will turn the ground, put on the manure, and plow out the ridges." When the winter wheat seeds arrive, let's plant them quickly. ”

"This time, the caravan of the old Lu family has been going for a long time. According to what they said when they left, they should have been back two days ago. Zhang thought about it and said.

"So they went far. This is out of the house, the plan can't catch up with the changes, two days earlier, two days late is not a problem. A few days ago, didn't it rain here, I heard that it rained in many places, and it rained a lot more than ours. "Even keep your word.

Speaking of winter wheat seeds, the family inevitably thinks of another thing.

"The spring wheat seeds sold by Lao Zhao's family are really bought!" Zhang sighed.

The Lu family's winter wheat seeds were not brought back, but Zhao Wencai transported several truckloads of spring wheat seeds from Taicang, and began to sell them at a price of 50 yuan per catty, which was 24 wen higher than the price of wheat seeds in Taicang and 20 wen yuan higher than the price of wheat seeds of Lian Man'er's family.

"Our family's wheat seeds have been sold out again, they want to plant wheat, what if they don't buy it at Lao Zhao's house, we will sell it to his family. It's just that his family's business is a bit ...... Not authentic. Even Shouxin shook his head and sighed.

"Dad, you're too polite. It's not a bit unauthentic, it's too unauthentic. Lian Man'er interjected.

Even Shouxin was silent.

The reason why Zhao Wencai's business of selling wheat seeds is not authentic is not that his pricing. Rather, it was the words that he put out when he was selling wheat seeds.

"Say that the people who sell wheat seeds in Taicang have been ordered by the Yamen, and if they want to buy wheat seeds in Liaodong, they will only sell them to him, and no matter who else wants to buy, they will not sell them. If you want to plant wheat and buy wheat seeds, you have to buy them from him. What else to say, this is just starting to sell, look at the big guys in the township, the price is still cheap. If he didn't buy it quickly, the price of his wheat seed would have to rise, and it would have to increase exponentially. Lian Man'er said, "What is this called?" ”

What ability does Zhao Wencai have to make the shop that sells wheat seeds in Taicang only sell wheat seeds to him, and not sell them to other people in Liaodong Mansion? also said that the yamen's explicit order, there is naturally a matter of those people who go to the house.

The closest place to Liaodong Prefecture where you can buy wheat seeds is Taicang County. They are all dealers, and they have to go farther away to buy them, either they have no money or no one. Some people really believed Zhao Wencai's words, afraid that he would increase the price in the future, so he pinched his nose and went to buy wheat seeds.

Complaints and swearing behind the scenes are naturally indispensable.

Even Shouxin knew about it, and he was very angry.

"I don't think we can leave this matter alone." Lian Man'er thought about it and said.

Gorou pondered.

"What's the matter?" Lian Shouxin hurriedly asked.

"Brother," Lian Man'er turned to Gorou, "Do you see if you can write a post for the county government of Jinyang County?" ”

"Well, that's what I thought too." Gorou said, "I'll write a post right away and send it to the county government early tomorrow morning." ”

"This ......" Lian Shouxin opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.

Everyone looked at Lian Shouxin.

"Dad, brother does this, you don't agree?" Lian Man'er asked, "Is it because of the people over there in Taicang?" ”

"It's not that I disagree." Even Shouxin hesitated.

Lian Man'er saw that Lian Shouxin was embarrassed and entangled, and she understood. Lian Shouxin is a standard farmer, and he has the commonality of a farmer. Duty, honesty, timidity, fear of things, and what I am most afraid of is to have a relationship with the yamen.

The deep-rooted idea of the common people would rather die than fight a lawsuit and avoid the yamen.

"Dad, this is no longer an idle matter." Lian Man'er said to Lian Shouxin, "What are they tossing in Taicang, they are far away from us, we can't take care of it." But on our side, we can't ignore such a thing. ”

"Dad, my brother is now a showman and a famous person. When we encounter such a thing, we have to take care of it, and we have the ability to manage it. Lian Man'er saw that Lian Shouxin's expression was a little relaxed, and continued, "Dad, don't say anything else, you don't want to see the villagers around us let them be bullied like this, right?" ”

“…… That's the reason. "Even keep your word. His sense of justice is still quite strong. "I just don't understand, this kind of thing, Gorou handed a post to the yamen, can it work?"

"It works, why doesn't it work. Dad, just watch it tomorrow. Lian Man'er said.

After a night of speech, after having breakfast in a hurry the next morning, Gorou took Han Zhong and Xiaoxi to the county. Wulang came back at noon, and also brought back the messenger of the county government and sealed the Zhao family's shop. Those officers also locked Zhao Wencai's father and son in the county.

When Gorou got home, the family went to the front hall to talk.

"Brother, have you had lunch?" Lian Man'er saw that Gorou's face was tired, so she asked.

"I ran errands in the morning, and I haven't eaten yet." Gorou said.

Lian Man'er hurriedly instructed Xiaofu to go to the kitchen to find Han Zhong's daughter-in-law and prepare a meal for Wulang.

"What do you eat at home at noon?" Gorou asked.

"Noodles to eat." Lian Man'er said.

"Then just get me noodles." Gorou said.

"More noodles, and two side dishes." Lian Man'er instructed Xiaoxi to make fried noodles for Goro in the kitchen.

Then Lian Man'er asked Gorou what happened.

As soon as his post was handed in, the county order asked him to go to the inner hall to speak, and then he sent someone to seal up Zhao Wencai's shop and arrest all the men of the Zhao family to the county government to ask for guilt.

Things went smoothly, but there was no trace of joy on Goro's face.

“…… The magistrate told me that he had already gotten the news, which was related to our family, and he didn't know whether the news was true or not, so he didn't take action for a while. Gorou said slowly.

"Our family?" Lian Man'er's heart moved, "Brother, doesn't this our family refer to those people in Taicang, but to our own family?" ”

"Hmm." Gorou nodded.

In other words, someone was blowing the wind in the county, saying that Zhao Wencai sold wheat seeds like this, and there was still something about their family.

"Brother, it's thanks to you for going." Lian Man'er said...... With the Spring Festival Gala and the non-stop firecrackers, it really has a special taste...... Add more New Year's greetings to everyone, ask for pink. rq！！！
