Chapter 111: Returning to Bamboo Forest Village
When he came to the field, Zhao Yuan taught everyone how to sow seeds, and then he didn't care about the things in the field anymore, and the villagers of the two villages helped Zhao Yuan to do a lot of work, and Zhao Yuan was very relieved to everyone.
Because the land has been turned over, the sowing speed is quite fast, and a group of people can plant a large area in a short time, some of them dig ditches, some sow seeds.
"Brother Yuan, what are we going to do?" Back in the house, Meng Ying asked.
"Let's go to Zhulin Village again, in order to repair the fish pond, the bamboo we bought before is almost the same, and we need to go to Zhulin Village to buy some back." Zhao Yuan stood at the door, looked at the beehives coming in and out of the beehive upstairs, and said with a smile.
Recently, the main thing at home is the supermarket in the market, although the goods that Wan Yunjun helped to contact are very important, but the types are small, and it is also a little inconvenient to transport them from the county seat, if you can solve the problem of supply locally, it will be a lot more convenient.
The bamboo products of Zhulin Village are very popular in such a small town, baskets, dustpans, baskets, bamboo scoops...... Zhao Yuan just thought of the bamboo products at home, and felt that his store also needed to sell these things.
Bringing some snacks, Zhao Yuan's family took Shao Meng and the two of them to say hello to Wen Jianglang and others, put on their white heads, and drove the donkey cart towards Zhulin Village.
"We have eleven villages under the jurisdiction of Grayyuan Town, including Zhaojiazhuang, Songjiazhuang, Zhulin Village, Yakou Village, Dongquan Village, and Lianhua Village, Yuanzigou, Laozhutian, Zhangjiadong, Xiaoquanhe and Ganxi Village at the foot of the old mountain in the distance." On the donkey cart, Zhao Yuan introduced Shao Meng and the others.
"Master, your Gray Plains Town is better than our hometown, not that the conditions are better, but that the people here are very good." Shao Meng, who was sitting on the wheel and driving the donkey cart, said.
"The environment of our gray plain town is very good, and the folk customs are very simple." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.
Although the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were an era of troubled times, Zhao Yuan was lucky to come to Shu, away from the disturbances of this era, and he tried his best to maintain this peace, but now he can only make more preparations before the troubled times come.
The donkey cart soon came to the path, and everyone had to jump off the donkey cart and lead the white head towards Zhulin Village.
When he came to Zhulin Village, Zhao Yuan first went to find Huang Gufeng, almost all the people in Zhulin Village will order the craftsmanship of processing bamboo, such as the back basket and basket that do not require high craftsmanship, almost all of them will weave, and there are several people who can do dustpans and drying mats with higher craftsmanship.
There are also chopsticks and bamboo tubes that are indispensable in every household, and Zhao Yuan has designed several styles for the people of Zhulin Village to help produce them.
Zhao Yuan, under the leadership of Huang Gufeng, found Lizheng in Zhulin Village, ordered a batch of bamboo, and ordered a batch of bamboo products at a price lower than the market price. Luoluo followed Huang Gufeng's two children and distributed some of the snacks and food to the children in Zhulin Village, and a group of children were giggling and playing.
"Uncle Feng, can we go and see how the stone mill and stele I ordered are doing?" After talking to the happy Zhulin Village, Zhao Yuan found Huang Gufeng and said.
"Okay, Uncle has been helping you do it all this time, it should be almost finished." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.
Carving a stone mill is a hard work, the dragon ancient stone collected from the mountain, there are any shapes, to carve the stone into the shape of the stone mill, it will take no less effort.
"Uncle, you're busy." Zhao Yuan took Shao Meng and the two of them, followed Huang Gufeng through the bamboo forest, and came to Huang Stonemason's house, Huang Gufeng pushed open the door and saw Huang Stonemason carving stone with a chisel.
"What, did you kid come to urge?" Huang Stonemason heard Huang Gufeng's voice, looked up and saw Zhao Yuan and said.
"How can it be, uncle, I came to Zhulin Village today for some business, by the way, come and see, this is a little snack for you, uncle." Zhao Yuan took the prepared small package from Shao Meng's hand, handed it over and said.
"The kid is exquisite, don't rush me, I'm an old arm and leg, the stone grinding you want will have to wait a few days to be done." The yellowstone, who had a bad temper, said.
"How can it be, uncle, I really came to take a look by the way, is this stone the 'Huaguo Mountain' carved for me?" Zhao Yuan looked at a stone next to him and said.
"It's just that the words are on the other side." The yellow stonemason said as he stroked his beard.
"Uncle writes very well, huh?" Zhao Yuan turned around, looked at the three big characters on the stone and said.
"You are praising the wrong person, this word was written by Xu Xiaozi." The yellow stonemason said with a smile.
"Uncle, how many days will it take for this stone mill to be completed?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"You also said that you didn't come to urge me, ten days, this stone mill is not a light carving of two stones, but also a matching shelf, which is complicated." The yellowstonemason shook his head and said.
"That's okay, uncle, we'll pull the stone mill and the stele back here in ten days." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
Coming out of Huang Mason's house, several people walked towards Huang Gufeng's house, Meng Ying and Aunt Feng were chatting at home, and Luoluo and Yuesheng Yuehua brothers and sisters were playing happily outside the house.
"Zhao Yuan, the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest have begun to emerge, did you say last time that you wanted to harvest spring bamboo shoots?" On the way back, Huang Gufeng pointed to many spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest that had grown bamboo shoots and asked.
"Accept it, Uncle Feng, I forgot to tell Uncle Lizheng about this just now, in this way, Uncle Feng, how about you help me buy it, and find someone to help send it to my house after you put it away." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"No problem, how much do you want to charge Zhao Yuan? Our bamboo forest village is such a large bamboo mountain, the annual output of bamboo shoots has thousands of catties, in previous years, each household only dug a small amount, and the rest let it grow into bamboo. Huang Gufeng asked.
"In this way, Uncle Feng, the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest can't be dug up, this year I will collect 2,500 catties, the price will go according to the market price, I will leave a sum of money for you Uncle Feng in a while, or Uncle Feng, you put it away and ask someone to send it to my house, and I will settle the bill for everyone." Zhao Yuan said after thinking about it.
"Let's dig it up and send it to your house to settle the bill, you collect more than 2,000 catties of bamboo shoots, this is not a small amount of money, I don't dare to help keep it." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.
"That's okay, then it's going to trouble Uncle Feng." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.
"Don't bother, this is a good thing, recently, everyone's land has also been planted, and we can have such an income, our whole village would like to thank you." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.
Zhao Yuan came to Zhulin Village this time, and brought everyone an income, Huang Gufeng's craftsmanship is good, and when the time comes, he can share a lot of profits from this batch of bamboo products ordered by Zhao Yuan, and maybe he will have the money to send his son to study at that time.
"Zhao Yuan, Xiaoying, and two brothers, stay at home for dinner at noon." When she came to Huang Gufeng's house, Aunt Feng beckoned everyone to sit down and said.
"No, Aunt Feng, there are still people at home to help with farming, I have to go back at noon, I see that there are a lot of chickens in the forest of our Zhulin Village, Uncle Feng, do you know who hatches more chickens?" Zhao Yuan shook his head and asked again.
"Sister-in-law Qin's family raises the most chickens, and her family also goes to the market from time to time to sell chickens, Zhao Yuan, do you want to buy some chickens to raise back?" Aunt Feng asked.
"Yes, this time I bought so much bamboo to go back, just around a farm." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.
"In this way, Zhao Yuan, I'll go to each house in the village to see how many chickens can be sold, and when the time comes, we will send bamboo to your family, and we will send it to you together." Huang Gufeng thought about it, and was not sure how many chickens his village could provide to Zhao Yuan.
"Okay, then it's going to trouble Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng."
