PS: The second one is sent, there is a more in front, don't miss the order, there is another one in the evening, please pink and subscription support, thank you!
***********
"Third sister, can this horse be ridden?" Rokuro asked with wide eyes.
"Absolutely." Qiduo nodded, seeing that there was yearning in his eyes, and added with a smile, "However, we can't ride, we have to learn before we can ride a horse, otherwise we will fall into the mud." ”
Rokuro's words also aroused her interest, and she really can't ride a horse, so she can learn it in the future.
In my previous life, I longed for the most to go to Inner Mongolia, ride a horse and whip on the vast prairie, let me get off the horse and gallop thousands of miles, and be a wanton and chic woman.
It's a pity that it hasn't been possible.
Thinking of his previous life, Qiduo's eyes turned slightly red, touched Liulang's hair, and took him into the house to discuss things with his parents and Tan Debao.
She sorted out the things that needed to be done urgently at home, mainly the following.
The first one, tomorrow will sort out the five thousand catties of lotus root of Lord Huang.
The second is the matter of building a house on the side of Luhuapo.
The third pile is to recruit people to reclaim barren mountains.
The fourth pile, the spring ploughing of sixteen acres of land (eight acres of land of Tan Debao's family are counted together.) )。
The fifth pile, selling lotus root.
After Qiduo listed these items, he discussed with his family one by one how to complete them.
The first thing is that when I just went to the county to collect cattle and horses, I bought a large number of bamboo baskets and came back to use them to hold lotus roots.
Then the next tidying up work will be handed over to Erxia, and she will take the three of Wang's aunts and sisters-in-law to complete it.
Seven Duo is in charge of supervision. This is a task that must not be taken lightly.
She was going to have a small meeting with the three of Wang's aunts and sisters-in-law in the evening. Tell me about the importance of this. Save time for errors.
When discussing the construction of a house, everyone's opinions were divided, and Qiduo hoped to build a stronger and stronger one, because this house was to be used for a long time.
Xu agreed with her.
But Tan Dejin and Tan Debao objected, because the house was in a hurry to live in, and it could be built in two or three days at the earliest.
Then the problem comes, you need raw materials to build a house, if you want to build a firm and sturdy one. It had to be made of stone or adobe or green bricks.
Whether it is used in adobe bricks or green bricks, it takes time to prepare, and it is not possible to buy them in a day or two.
Like adobe bricks, you have to dig mud and add chopped straw and grass mud, and then use rectangular molds to make pieces of adobe to dry.
If the weather is fine all the time, it will take at least seven or eight days for the mud to dry completely.
Not only that, but things like the roof tiles and girder rafters also take time to prepare. It's not something you can buy now, you can buy now.
After listening to their explanations. Qiduo suddenly realized, and at the same time sighed, it is really difficult to do something in this era.
Like in the previous life, if you wanted to build a house, as long as you had money, you could buy anything in time.
In the end, Tan Dejin proposed to build ten thatched-roof wooden houses for use first, and then build a new house after the work at hand was over.
Tan Debao said that if the wood is difficult to cut, it is okay to cut some bamboo to build a bamboo house.
At present, the conditions are like this, Qiduo accepted their suggestion, but proposed that although it is a temporary transitional house, the quality should not be sloppy, to ensure that it is impermeable to the wind and rain, and to withstand the wind and rain, but not a gust of wind blows, and the house will fall.
Safety is the most important thing!
"Qiduo, don't worry, this thatched hut is not as fragile as you think. Don't you see that many people in our village have lived in thatched huts for more than ten or twenty years, and they still live there? Teddy smiled.
But I still admired Qiduo in my heart, this child was kind-hearted, for fear that others would suffer.
"Hehe, Fourth Uncle, having said that, it's better to be meticulous and serious. I'm worried that I'll be sloppy because I think it's a temporary stay. Qiduo laughed.
"Duo, no, if this house is built well, it doesn't have to be demolished at that time, maybe there are other uses, so naturally you have to build it seriously." Tedkin said.
Qiduo nodded.
Then Tan Dejin and Tan Debao discussed who to invite to build, as well as the preparation of materials.
They said that the seven flowers were written down on a piece of paper next to it, so that they could not wait for a while and forget it, and write it down at a glance.
However, the pen she used to write at this time was not a brush, but a special quill made by herself.
She plucked the feathers of a goose in Tan Dama's house and cut the hard part of the feather into the shape of a pen tip and used it as a pen.
Although it still needs to be dipped in ink, because the tip of the pen is hard, Qiduo found the feeling of writing in his previous life, and the speed went up all of a sudden.
If these two cases are solved, then it is the third big thing, recruitment.
At present, only two acres of lotus pond have been dug up, and the rest may take about half a month, and these people will not be useful for the time being.
The rice seeds have been planted in the field, the seedlings are growing taller day by day, and every household needs to plough the field to prepare for cutting rape and transplanting seedlings.
"That's it, let's go to the patriarch's grandfather to discuss this matter, last night his old man personally responded to this matter, it wouldn't be good if we solved it ourselves." Seven Flowers Suggest.
Regardless of whether Patriarch Tan can resolve this matter, discuss it with him as a sign of respect.
"Okay, let's." Tan Dekin nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I remember that Aunt Shen's family also hired people to work, but not from our village. Then I will ask my aunt where she has brought these people from, and ask me about my wages by the way. Qiduo said again.
"That's it, that's it." Tan Dejin and Tan Debao nodded at the same time.
Next, the spring ploughing plan of the two 16 acres of paddy fields was also said, four acres of the 16 acres of fields were rapeseed, and the remaining 12 acres were all to be planted with early rice seedlings, and they had to plow the fields in the past two days.
If there was no lotus pond in Luhuapo and the current wasteland, Tan Dejin and Tan Debao might have started to turn over the fields a long time ago.
Now there is no time to do this, Tan Dejin feels that this work can be done by Tan Dama's family.
Tan Dama's family has cattle, and every year in the spring ploughing, he will help others to work short-term cattle jobs. Earn some copper plates to buy oil and salt.
They are a very loyal family. A collar that lives next to the wall. Tan Dama took his two sons to help dig lotus roots, and the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter helped wash lotus roots, which helped the family a lot.
Ask them for help and rest assured.
I tentatively set up Tan Dama's house, and when he comes back the next day, I will ask his opinion. Let's see if we can get busy.
The first four things were implemented one by one, and only the matter of selling lotus root remained.
It is impossible for Lord Huang to buy 5,000 catties at a time, but Qiduo also came up with a new idea, that is, he doesn't know if it is feasible.
Whether it works or not, let's talk about it together.
"Father, fourth uncle, when I went to the dock to buy fish yesterday, I saw many big ships carrying goods docked by the river, and there were many boats moving in the river. I'm thinking. We can also go to those foreign merchants and sell our lotus root to them.
If they are moved. At least a thousand catties at a time, which is far faster than us selling a catty. Qiduo said.
The idea made everyone's eyes light up.
But soon Tan Debao shook his head, "Qiduo, your idea is good, it's just that we don't know each other well, who knows which ones are foreign merchants." Even if we find them, they won't necessarily take care of us. ”
"Yes, Duo, your fourth uncle has a point. The key is how we find these merchants so that we have a chance. Xu also said.
Qiduo pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.
"Since they are foreign merchants, they always have to stay in the inn to eat when they come to the county, and we can go to the shopkeeper of the inn and restaurant and cooperate with them.
People will definitely not want to do anything that is not beneficial, but if the merchants they introduce to us do business, we will give them a proportional share, and I believe that some people will be willing.
In this way, they don't spend anything, just be a middleman, but they have money to make, I believe that ordinary people should not refuse. Qiduo said.
"It's a good idea, but that's it, and we're going to divide the money again. We originally sold the lotus root cheaply, but in this way, we couldn't make much money after the last day. "Tan Dejin was a little reluctant.
Tan Debao was also a little distressed.
He knew that before he sold it to Lord Huang, the lotus root did not bring much profit to the Qiduo family at all, but he had to pay for his wages every day.
Xu Shi looked at Tan Dejin and said, "Dejin, are you willing to watch the lotus root rot be worthless at home, or are you willing to watch them turn into silver." I agree with Duo's idea, why not make less money, this pond lotus root is an accident.
Besides, our business is not a one-off deal, now that we have sold lotus roots, we may have to sell beans, wheat and other things, and our 500 acres of mountainous land must be produced.
If the shopkeepers of these inns and restaurants taste the sweetness, they don't have to go to them next time, when they have business, they will take the initiative to find us, and it is a bad son to make money if they don't make money. ”
"Mother, you said it so well." Qiduo smiled and applauded Xu.
Hearing Xu's opinion, Qiduo was very surprised, this seemed to be the first time to hear the old lady say this.
On weekdays, she listens to what she says, and she occasionally says a couple of sentences, but rarely makes a long speech to refute anyone.
The most important thing is that it is very reasonable.
But the Xu family understands these truths, Qiduo is not surprised, the Xu family is already in business, and they have learned more or less when they were young.
Tan Dejin and Tan Debao chewed Xu's words seriously, thinking that it made sense, and nodded in agreement.
The family finally reached a consensus.
The matter of finding a restaurant is also handed over to Qiduo to do, which she has her own plans.
As soon as I thought of going to the county seat to do the presentation, Qiduo thought of riding a horse again, if I could ride a horse, it would be too convenient to go to the county seat.
"Dad, hurry up and find a way to make a carriage, the ox cart is too slow." Seven pouts.
I won't ride a horse for the time being, so let's get a carriage first.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the patriarch's house first, and I'll do it when we get back, okay." Tan Dejin smiled dotingly and nodded, this sentence has been heard by his daughter many times.
He knew that Qiduo was an impatient and didn't want to waste his time on the road.
Xu smiled and stroked Qiduo's hair, "You, you'd better have wings, so it's fast." ”
"Ah, I just want to, but unfortunately it can't grow." Qiduo lay on the table and sighed, blinking her eyelashes lightly, and her pink lips pursed slightly, showing the coquettishness of her little daughter.
They looked at her and smiled.
Looking at her now, I remembered that she was still a child.
But now everything at home and outside the home is supported by her.
Thinking of this, Tan Dejin and his wife were very distressed and guilty, and their eyes were a little red.
Tan Debao also pursed his lips and went out of the house first.
Qiduo drank a few sips of hot tea, stood up straight, and jumped out of the house to get busy.
Several people divided the work, Tan Dejin went to the Tan patriarch's house, Qiduo went to the Shen family, and Tan Debao went to find a helper to build a house.
Xu was at home with Erxia and Liuju picking lotus roots.
Before Qiduo went out, Erxia called her. (To be continued......)
