Chapter 20: Rice Management
"Dumb girl, I only get 200 catties per mu of land, and after I pay the grain, there won't be much left", Chen Sanniang is also a distressed junior, she doesn't want to take advantage of Cheng Yangyang.
"Third grandma, I am young and diligent, and the land I planted will definitely be able to harvest more than now, so you can rest assured."
"If it doesn't work, it won't work", Chen Sanniang still disagreed, "I can't collect some grain from this land, don't be bitter girl."
Cheng Yangyang didn't expect that the people in Wangjia Village were still very kind, and she felt the kindness of the people in the village from the moment they didn't forcibly distribute her money and let her go home yesterday.
And sometimes they do some foolish things, a little selfish, she can suddenly understand, it's not because they're poor, they can't eat, they don't have the opportunity to study, they don't understand some truths, but in fact, their hearts are not bad.
"Third grandma, I'm not afraid of hardship, you can also put this piece of land away, why don't you let me try!"
The two persuaded each other for a long time, and Chen Sanniang finally couldn't resist Cheng Yangyang's insistence and promised to let her try, but she refused to ask for so much food, and only asked her for fifty catties per mu.
After visiting the third grandmother, Cheng Yangyang continued to drag Wang Xiaoshan to the fields to find other people, and asked him to introduce her to the names and family backgrounds of these villagers, she needed more land.
In one morning, except for the nine acres of land in Wang Xiaoshan's house and the thirteen acres of land in the third grandmother's house, the others were scattered and talked about more than 20 acres of land, a total of less than 50 acres.
This result is much worse than Cheng Yangyang's plan, she saw that there is a lot of vacant land in Wangjia Village on the hillside, but in fact, there are still many people who would rather not plant themselves or let others plant.
Because they all think that Cheng Yangyang can't fulfill her promise.
Cheng Yangyang returned to the thatched house with a tired face, in the afternoon she had to go to Wang Xiaoshan's field to turn over the soil to prepare for breeding, fifty acres of rice seedlings, she estimated that she had to turn over three or four acres of land to breed.
In this era, there was no turning machine, and there was not even an old ox in the village, so she could already imagine that she was about to be sore.
No way!
She has been turning flowers alone for too long, and it will delay breeding, Wang Xiaoshan's injury is not healed and she can't go to the ground, it seems that she has to hire someone.
Thinking about it, she entered the space again, looking at the only two bags of rice and two barrels of oil left in the space, is this really enough for her to hire someone?
Of course not enough!
Cheng Yangyang decided to give up the plan to turn over the soil in the afternoon, and she went to the city again under the scorching sun.
When we were talking about renting land in the field today, almost everyone in the field knew that Cheng Yangyang was going to turn over the land of Wang Xiaoshan's house in the afternoon, saying that he was going to prepare for farming.
But in the afternoon, I didn't see Cheng Yangyang's figure at all, everyone thought she was talking big, it's all this time, the beginning of spring has already passed, and a fool will farm at this time.
The people of Wangjia Village, even Wang Xiaoshan thought that she was joking with everyone, and early the next morning, Cheng Yangyang found them again.
In the field, all the people who went down to the field gathered together to chat, anyway, at this time the grain in the field was almost ripe, and they had nothing to do, just to come and see every day, and catch the birds.
Seeing Cheng Yangyang coming with a hoe, everyone laughed, "Dumb girl, why didn't you come to turn the ground yesterday, look at this place, it's almost blistering."
Facing their teasing, Cheng Yangyang was not angry, but joined them, "Brothers, I have to turn over three acres of land today, is it convenient for you to help?"
"What's the matter, you're going to turn the floor!" she didn't look like a joke, but it was ...... How could it be!
"Dumb girl, even if this land is turned over, it can't be planted now, and at the end of the year, the weather will be cold and the grain will not be ripe, and it will be blind!" the other kindly persuaded her.
"Thank you for your advice, but I still want to try", Cheng Yangyang didn't listen to their persuasion and changed the topic, "In this way, help me turn the floor today, and I'll take care of the food, okay?"
"Cooking in charge?" Hearing her in charge of rice, everyone looked at each other as if they were silently communicating something, they knew that she had some money in her hand now, but they didn't know what she was doing with rice?
"Well, take care of everyone's bowl of rice porridge and two nests", Cheng Yangyang opened her mouth hesitantly, and was slightly lacking in confidence when she said this, she knew how shabby this thing was, but she really couldn't afford to buy meat for the time being.
Cheng Yangyang thought that they would reject her poor and sour thing, but he didn't expect that as soon as her words fell, several people began to get excited, "Do you really care about rice porridge and wotou?
Ever since she woke up in this world, she had been hearing the word "rough noodles" from their mouths, and she was really curious about what it tasted like.
"If you don't dislike it, it's just a bowl of rice porridge and two nests", Cheng Yangyang nodded affirmatively this time, which she can guarantee.
"Sensei said, let's go, I'll go to the ground with you!"
They came to work in the fields, and they all took hoes with them, and those who didn't have them ran home to get them.
Cheng Yangyang didn't expect it to go so well, and thought that they would at least bargain with her, she was ready to change the porridge into rice, who knew that they agreed so easily.
More than a dozen men and Cheng Yangyang turned the soil in the field, and helped her turn the ground into pieces according to the breeding needs, although they didn't know what she wanted to do, but they still did as she said.
In the summer, there are people in Wangjia Village who are re-turning the soil and farming, this strange thing has attracted many people in the village, and everyone is sitting on the edge of the ridge, looking at the busy Cheng Yangyang and they are discussing non-stop.
The three acres of breeding land were turned over in less than a morning, and when Cheng Yangyang went home to cook for them, she asked them to help her bundle the rice and weeds cut in the field into a mat together, and she would use it for breeding in the afternoon.
Cheng Yangyang packed the rice in a rag bag, took a jar and poured some peanut oil, plus the coarse salt she bought in the city yesterday and a basket of nests, carrying things on her shoulders, backs, and hands, and went directly to the third grandmother's house.
Wang Xiaoshan's cauldron hasn't moved for too long, if she goes to his house to cook, she has to wash the pot and brush the stove, it is better to go directly to the third grandmother's house, at least she loves to clean up, although there is only one person in the family, but the boiler or something is carefully collected.
"Third grandmother", Cheng Yangyang was full of things in his hand, he couldn't knock on the door, he stood at the door and shouted directly at the house.
Before going to the field in the morning, she came to find Chen Sanniang, and told her that she would come to borrow the kitchen at noon, and in return, she helped take care of her family's two acres of land today, and also wrapped her lunch today.
Chen Sanniang came out of the house when she heard the sound, she walked slowly with a club, and Cheng Yangyang didn't urge, just quietly waiting for her to open the door.
