Wei Dabao is also quite beautiful, and the smile on the little face on the road has never disappeared.

After arriving home, he also deliberately offered treasures to the people of Zhang Village who came to help support him, and then gave gifts to the villagers who supported him.

Those people have children in their families, and this prize is just right for children to study, all of them are small bows and arrows, and there is a set of four treasures in the study.

The prizes won in the competition are stained with luck. The villagers who received the gifts smiled from ear to ear, and they only felt that they had come to the right place. Just standing there in the town, and getting such a rich return gift is still the most meaningful kind, and everyone has to envy it.

If Dabao can be a show in the future, they can provide everything!

Wei Jin also made some food the next day, and asked Dabao and Xiaoya to send it to the workshop, saying that it was to honor the elders, and also thanked them for sending someone to help last night.

Dabao only has two days off on August 15, after which he has to stay until the Chinese New Year before returning home.

His teacher said that although he was not very alert, he was better than being diligent, and after the August 15 competition, his self-confidence was much stronger. What's more, he didn't embarrass his teacher, and he also gained a little face, and his teacher treated him like his own nephews.

After the last time Wei Jin asked his sister-in-law's brother to send birds' eggs, every three days, they would send a basket of eggs. It's not the same, and there is not necessarily a fixed number, how much they give and how much they receive. The money was directly given to the children who delivered the eggs, so that they could have a little pocket money to buy some snacks or something.

Diligent people, the days are always getting better and better, and in the blink of an eye the weather begins to get cold, and they are ready to change their winter clothes.

The family has saved a lot of money this year.

When he was a child, Wei Jin asked the fifth brother of his eldest brother-in-law to find someone to help clean up the old house.

It snows most of the winter. The old house has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is so decaying that if you don't take advantage of the good weather to clean up the roof and walls, it will be all finished when the snow is heavy.

After winter, the road is difficult to walk, and the caravans that come to the town are seven or eight percent less. The workshop has been slowly reducing its production since the end of October, and by the middle of the wax month, there will be basically no caravans coming. The off-season will last until the end of February, when the mountain roads will be thawed before the trade routes will be reopened.

This is the off-season for their business, but it is an important stage of farming, and all the fertilizer, seeds and soil to be turned in the field must be prepared during this period.

I heard from the merchants that their side is quite fine, and although there is snow in winter, it will not freeze the soil hard. Further north, the winter soil does not even grow a nest when knocked down, and it will not be sown until it thaws in March and April of the following year.

The Wei family bought a lot of land last year, and gave it to the villagers to cultivate, and the rent paid was enough for the family to eat for a year.

In the second half of the year, I got a lot of dividends. It was also divided into three parts, one of which was used by Wei Jin to buy a hundred acres of mountain forest land.

It is said that it is 100 acres of mountain forest land, but only 37 acres can be cultivated in the actual government registration, and the rest are pure mountain forests that cannot be planted with crops. The money given by their family is only fifty acres, which is equivalent to the extra ones that are given to her family.

This kind of land deed should be specially remarked in the government, because there are many barren forests, and it is not forbidden for villagers to go up to the mountains to cut firewood and hunt or anything on weekdays. In other words, all the outputs in this 100 acres of mountain forest land, including wild beasts, belong to the holder of the title deed.

Wei Jin was also very careful when buying land, and specially chose a place that would not be disturbed by anyone.

"What are you going to plant?"

After hearing that Wei Jin had bought land, the eldest sister hurriedly rushed back from the county seat with the child to persuade her, but was persuaded by Wei Jin.

"There are many tea plantations in Lingnan. Most of the tea eaten by the nobles was also delivered from there. The local camellia is actually not bad, but the taste is average. Ordinary people can eat it, and don't think about selling it to nobles. ”

"In that case, why are you planning to buy land to plant tea trees?"

"We have a lot of beef and mutton here, and everyone eats a lot of this kind every day, but if you eat too much, you will always get tired, right, drinking tea can solve this problem very well." Moreover, tea can be eaten, done, and made distinctive, which cannot be imitated by other places, after all, they do not have tea mountains. If you buy tea to make it, then the cost will not be reduced. ”

The water quality and soil quality of their side are quite suitable for growing tea, which is also one of the specific projects handled by Wei Jin's targeted poverty alleviation.

She has been following the project for three years, from site selection to seedling raising to listing, and she has personally participated in every link.

"A few days ago, I asked the mayor of the town to find two old tea farmers for me, and they will come over after the beginning of spring. I'm going to put them in the old house for the time being. Later, if they are willing to settle down and not leave, they will talk to the village chief about repairing the house. ”

Planting tea trees is also not an easy task.

Opening the mountain, expanding the soil, aqueducts, and roasting tea workshops at the bottom of the mountain all take time and money to complete.

Wei Jin bought half of the mountain in one go, also because he was worried that he would be easy to be pinched by his throat if he took his time. It's better to be ruthless now and buy this piece directly, but only plant tea trees on those thirty-seven acres of land first. When the experience points come up, the tea shop is built, and you can see the benefits, you can go to the next step of mountain development.

As for the canal, there was a stream in the half of the mountain she had chosen, and with a little channeling, a sink made of wood would solve the problem.

In fact, the cost of water diversion in bamboo tubes is lower, but unfortunately, the bamboo produced here is relatively slender and cannot be used for irrigation and water diversion.

And tea trees have an advantage, not much draft, as long as it is not to cultivate high-quality tea, there is no need to pay special attention to soil quality, water quality and temperature and other conditions.

The reason why Wei Jin thought of making a tea garden here was because she found that the locals liked to drink a soup called eagle tea when it was hot.

Eagle tea has a tea word, but it is actually not a tea tree, compared with real tea, it has a little more bitterness and a little less tea aroma.

Wei Jin explained this to the family in advance, and even Xiaoya was arranged to sit next to Dabao and listen together.

The two brothers-in-law didn't want to get involved, mainly because they were worried that others would accuse them of taking advantage of their daughter-in-law's mother's house, but Wei Jin said that they still needed their help in this matter, so the two sat down next to the door with a twist.

After listening to it for a while, the second brother-in-law was fine, he didn't think much about it, he just felt that the third sister was too smart, and she could think of any way to make money. But the eldest brother-in-law was different, he listened as he swiped his fingers, and then showed a shocked expression.

"Sanhua'er, you, are you going to smuggle tea?"

"What kind of private tea, eldest brother-in-law, you think too much." Wei Jin smiled and explained, "I'm just taking advantage of the law." No, in order to eliminate even the last bit of hidden danger, I don't plan to pull people in. ”
