Chapter 81: Work

"Chop more bamboo first, and pick something about the same size!" Du Danshen looked at the rows of bamboos behind the house, picking up the similarly sized ones.

"Okay, you pick it out and make a mark, I'll cut it down, and you two will drag it to the open space outside." Liu Yuanshan held a knife in his hand and commanded a few people.

The division of labor and cooperation of the four people is still extremely efficient, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen bamboos to be cut down, and the size was about the same.

Du Danshen looked at a pile of bamboo, estimated the length for a while, and then went down: "Remove the tip of the tail, let's leave it for about this length, and tie it up with a rope for a while......"

She spoke cursoryly, and everyone understood what she meant, and then they got busy, peeling the bark of Sang Qingteng to make ropes, and tying the bamboo poles side by side, and a bamboo raft was almost finished.

"This is the bamboo raft?" Liu Qing'er looked at it again and again with some curiosity, she had never seen this thing before, and it looked a little new.

Du Danshen checked everywhere, reaching out and pulling from time to time to see if it was strong enough.

"How many ropes have been tied up, and if this can still fall apart, it is useless to tie up as much as possible." Liu Qing'er pouted, everyone was busy, and I don't know how to use this thing, whether it is good or not.

"It's tied a lot of ropes, but it always depends on whether it's strong enough, and it can't be scattered all at once, no, we're going to go down the river, if it falls apart, it won't fall into the river." Du Danshen responded with a smile.

"I think this bamboo raft looks good, let's get it down into the river and try it?" Liu Yuanshan said a little impatiently, if you really want to be able to go down the river, it will be much more convenient.

Of course, children's hearts, with new things, always want to open their eyes first.

Du Danshen looked up at the sky: "Let's be busy for most of the day, it's not early, it's almost time to cook, let's go after lunch, otherwise the eldest sister will have to look for people everywhere." ”

"That's the same, I can't let you go hungry with me, why don't you leave me food, I'll throw it into the river first?" Liu Yuanshan really wants to try the new, the child has a new toy and can't put it down, he really hasn't played with this bamboo raft.

"No, second brother, don't want to play alone, if you want to play, you have to take us with you." Liu Qing'er immediately spoke out against it.

Liu Yuanzhi also nodded vigorously, he also wanted to play, if the second brother left them alone, he would not be happy.

"Let's eat first, let's all go to help the eldest sister, lunch can be made faster, let's talk to the eldest sister after eating, and then go to the river to try whether this bamboo raft is good or not." Du Danshen said with a smile.

If this doesn't work, it has to work, otherwise the eldest sister won't have to scold him, Liu Yuanshan sighed, he only felt that these few small ones in the family were really sensible when they looked at it, and sometimes they felt very annoying when they looked at it.

"Alright, alright, listen to you."

Du Danshen pointed to the pile of leftover bamboo on the ground and said, "Take these bamboo branches back to the yard to dry them and use them as firewood." ”

Since no one objected, they cook every day, mostly pick up some dead branches and go back to burn, of course, there are also some weeds to start a fire, and these bamboos are also very good to burn, using bamboo poles, the rest of the firewood is burned, but it is not wasted.

"By the way, we have to pick up some fertilizer, it doesn't matter if we sprinkle rapeseed in the ground, water them every day, let them grow slowly, but when it comes to sowing seeds in autumn, we need to add more fertility, so that the crops we grow can grow better, and since we are going to plant the land, this grain seed, we also have to change it with others in advance......" Du Danshen said trivial things at home.

Don't look at the day, it seems that there is nothing serious to do, but there are miscellaneous things, this bit of work, that little bit of work, it seems that there is no time to spare.

"The grain seeds do have to be changed in advance, put them at home at ease, and when the time comes to plant, you don't have to be in a hurry, I still don't understand this much, you talk to me in detail in a while, let's think about it together." Liu Yuanshan was a little worried, their family had never farmed before, let alone him, even when his father and mother were there, I was afraid that they didn't know anything.

"This is also simple, that is, first pick a place to dig a pit, dig the yard, or dig outside, let's throw the chicken manure at home, rotten vegetable leaves or something, all into the pit, and the firewood ash at home, all fill in the pit, fill in more, and when the autumn comes, these are good fat......" Du Danshen said simply, roughly like this, how much fertility can be there, this is not easy to say.

"It's better to dig in the yard, just by the wall, if you dig outside, I'm afraid that those with ulterior motives will make trouble." There are a lot of people living in the village, some are kind, and some are bad-hearted, who can say for sure whether it is good or bad, just like the two lepers before, and they also touched their house, so they have to be more guarded, Liu Yuanshan sighed and said.

Thinking that if he grows up quickly, he will be able to deter people, and no one will dare to beat their family anymore, but now he is still too young, and people only bully them as children of their family.

Du Danshen nodded, this doesn't matter, it's okay to put it in the yard, and then you can throw any domestic garbage into the pit, and if it is corrupted, it is also a ready-made fertilizer.

"Isn't it time to water our two acres of vegetable land again?" Liu Qing'er listened to the two all the way, and couldn't help but interject.

The rapeseed that is sprinkled into the ground is to ensure that the water is sufficient to grow quickly, so every day or two, it is necessary to water it once and water it thoroughly, so that it can take root and sprout as soon as possible.

"It's time to water, and we'll see if there are all buds, if there is a lot of missing, let's make up for some seeds, it's not good to plant sparsely, some lands have, some lands don't." Du Danshen thought about it and said.

"It's good that this dish grows as soon as possible, and our family will not be short of vegetables to eat in the future." Liu Qing'er nodded and said.

"It's only been a few days, and you're thinking about eating, and it's too anxious." Liu Yuanzhi smiled and pointed at her.

"I haven't eaten it yet, but I can eat it here!" Liu Qing'er pointed to the small vegetable patch outside the courtyard.

Liu Yuanzhi looked at the small seedlings growing in the ground, they were not much bigger, and immediately said: "Where can I eat this, how big is it, it hasn't grown yet, so you just want to eat it." ”

"I've heard that vegetable seedlings of this size are the most tender when they are fried and eaten, and those rich and noble families eat like this."

"Don't even think about it, I also grow this dish, and I have to wait until I grow up to eat it."
