Chapter 40: Feng Chan Liangfu Mountain (1)
The so-called decoction is actually not complicated.
To put it simply, it is the process of precipitating and purifying the color of wine. Of course, it doesn't take much time to complete such a step.
Under Li Bi's escort, Liu Kan returned to his home.
This is also a home in the true sense of the word, which is naturally completely different from the situation in which he lived in the trial food before.
Liu Kan came back to get the wine just now, and because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to take a closer look at this new home. Now that I have achieved my goal, my mood will naturally relax. At the door of the house, he stopped and took a serious look at his surroundings.
Ten hectares of land have been harvested.
Almost to everyone's expectations, the ten hectares of barren land that Liu Kan bought were harvested abundantly after a year of cultivation.
It's even better than those good fields worth 10,000 dollars.
This really surprised everyone...... Not only did Liu Kan harvest these ten hectares of fertile land, but he bought 50 hectares of land next to Liu Kan's family, of which 30 hectares were used for farming, and the remaining 20 hectares of land were built next to Liu Kan's family's new house. The two mansions directly enclose the sweet spring in the mire, forming a secret place.
But even those 30 hectares of cultivated land actually reaped a bumper harvest.
There are many people in Pei County who have no land and no property, so they can only help others and earn a hard-earned money.
And these people who helped for the trial of Qi and Liu Kan's family, after the end of the autumn harvest, as soon as they settled their wages, they all smiled.
Could it be that the land near the quagmire is really that fertile?
Many people are starting to buy land near the mire. But if you want to buy it now, the price is not low.
An acre of land skyrocketed by 4,000 yuan, and it was directly sold at a high price of 5,000 yuan.
This price is already the price of ordinary fertile land in Pei County...... Who would have thought that a year ago, this was a wasteland that no one cared about.
Liu Kan can be said to know nothing about farming, but more or less, he also knows some basic essentials.
Judging by its words, this land was ...... in the early years That is, about seventy or eighty years ago, it was still possible to grow things. Earlier, it used to be a fertile field. But then I don't know what's wrong, it's getting worse and worse, and it's getting more and more barren.
Gradually, no one farmed here, and the land was wasted.
In this place, Pei County is crisscrossed by lakes. During the rainy season, Surabaya swells, bringing a lot of sediment, and as the days go by, it becomes the current mud swamp.
Liu Kan thinks that this should be because of the lack of fertilization.
The land is like people, if you always let people work, and you are not allowed to rest, you are not allowed to eat and drink, and you will soon collapse. If the land is not fertilized, properly cared for, and blindly cultivated and cultivated, the fertile land will gradually become barren.
As a result, people will abandon the land and reclaim the fertile land.
As everyone knows, for the barren land, this act of abandonment is, to a certain extent, a kind of recuperation.
The black mud in the mud is an excellent fertilizer. After Cao Wushu put the fertilizer into the land in the autumn, after a winter, the snow melted, and the fertilizer and the land were integrated, and it was reclaimed in the spring, and a dead piece of land was immediately full of life.
Calculated in this year, in addition to the income from selling wine and farming, the assets of Liu Kan's family increased by as much as 40,000 yuan for just one piece of land. Forty thousand yuan is a figure that many ordinary people dare not imagine at all, even if it is Cao Wuxian's father, the annual salary is only a few thousand yuan. After the price of land rose, Cao Tingchang regretted this in his heart, and he couldn't tell anyone.
After Liu Kan bought the field last year, he poked and coaxed Cao Wuxian to buy the land as well.
Cao Wuxian is naturally excited. But he didn't have any savings, and he had to report to Cao Tingchang for such a big thing as buying a house.
Cao Tingchang refused to agree, and swore that "Let's look at the jokes of the Liu family children and the trial children in the coming year." ”
It's good now, I didn't see the joke, but the red eyes are real. Now, if you want to buy a real estate, you can only get one or two acres of land if you go bankrupt. Cao Ting is old and has no ambitions...... He then put the matter aside.
Liu Kan's home has a small courtyard with a small area.
The rammed earth courtyard wall is only more than one person high. There is an old locust tree in the yard with lush foliage. Although the leaves of the trees are now yellow, in that twilight, you can still feel full of vitality. Three huts, two cowsheds, and a modest firewood hut in the backyard.
As early as the Warring States period, people have popularized the use of clay to make tiles.
However, ordinary people can't use tiles to build their roofs. A tiled roof is a status symbol, and it is not something that can be used casually.
In addition to the buildings owned by the government, only some large families can use tiles.
Ordinary people's homes generally use thatched roofs, and there is also a proper noun called white house. Its meaning is self-evident, the house in which the white body lives. Of course, a thatched-roof house cannot be the same as a tiled house.
However, the trial came up with a solution.
Black mud is dug out of the mud, mixed with thatch, compacted, divided with a wooden frame, and spread on the roof.
From a distance, the thatch of the white flowers moves with the wind, just like an ordinary white house. But the effect is much better than that of an ordinary white house.
Mrs. Kan stood at the door early and saw Liu Kan coming back, her eyes flashing with tears.
"Mother, the baby is back!"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back......"
Although he knew that Liu Kan would return to prison in a few days. But Mrs. Kan, who had already been comforted by Tang Li and others, was extremely happy at the moment. The trial is here, and Tang Li is also there. and Cao Wuxian and Zhou Chang are also there. Liu Kan didn't know many people in Pei County, and now except for Cao Shen and Ren Ao who were on duty in prison, almost everyone gathered in this small courtyard.
Mrs. Kan prepared a sumptuous meal, and even Li Bi and others entertained her.
Although Liu Kan's house is not enough, it doesn't matter, he lives by himself, and three or four houses are empty, which is enough to accommodate Liu Kan.
Of course, Li Bi had to live in Liu Kan's house to monitor Liu Kan's movements.
The meal was not over until midnight. Liu Kan presented the Surabaya flower carving, which made Li Bi and the Qin army have a good drink. But even so, there were still five Qin soldiers who didn't drink too much, at the end of the midnight banquet, after Tang Li and the others said goodbye and left, the five Qin soldiers consciously stayed in the courtyard, the purpose was very obvious, worried that Liu Kan would escape overnight, and they would not be able to deal with each other at that time.
"Mother, the child wants to ask you something!"
When Liu Kan and Mrs. Kan were alone, they hesitated for a moment to speak.
Mrs. Kan looked at Liu Kan and sighed softly, "Ah Kan, my mother knows what you want to ask...... But what is the use of asking now, which is already in the past? Don't be cranky, when your punishment is over, if you feel unhappy here, we will move out and go somewhere else. Anyway, now, we have a household registration and money, and we can get it all over the world.
As for us and the Lu family, there is no longer any entanglement. I don't know what they think, but my mother is very peaceful in her heart. ”
Speaking of which, Liu Kan couldn't ask the question on his lips anymore.
It can be seen that Mrs. Kan doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the Lu family. As for the reason, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't want to ask again.
That night, Liu Kan was lying on the couch, tossing and turning.
Maybe it's this new environment that makes him feel uncomfortable; Maybe it's the knot in my heart that has never been unraveled, and I just can't sleep anyway.
Before you know it, it's the time for the rooster to crow.
The habit developed in the past year made Liu Kan, who had just been napping in a daze, wake up all of a sudden.
He got up and walked out of the room. I moved my muscles and bones in the small courtyard, took a deep breath, and shook my head vigorously.
The deceased is like this, how can the past be recovered?
And cherish the present......
