Chapter 130: Worried
It's really unfortunate that the shopkeeper came.
Wang Xiaoqing: They went to the ground.
Leave a sickbed?
Right!
Their sweet potatoes and potatoes have been sprouted under the guidance of the old lady for half a month, and they are growing gratifyingly one by one.
No, the big guy just finished the summer harvest! The rice in the field is really speechless.
Because of the lack of water, it is clear that the rice harvest is not good.
They estimated that the land here would only be 200 acres.
After these paddies are peeled, I am afraid that there are no more than 2,000 catties of brown rice left.
They were all speechless.
There is no way, the village is backering.
There are many mountains, but the mountains are steep, and many of them are uncultivable.
Who is not in a hurry.
Now they understand why the villagers of the original eighteen-mile shop are starving like that.
There are more than 100 people, only 200 acres of land.
Even if there are two seasons of grain a year, it is only 4,000 catties.
But I had to pay 3,000 catties in taxes alone.
The rest is 1,000 catties of rice, which has to support more than 100 people in the village.
The average person is less than 100 pounds.
The problem is that this is the ration of a good year.
If there is a disaster year, it is estimated that a family can have dozens of catties.
Zhao Laosan said it.
It's been a good year for them.
Last year they almost didn't harvest.
If you go back and forth like this, you won't starve.
They left two hundred acres of land without potatoes and sweet potatoes.
I still planted the late rice.
Zhao Laosan hadn't seen this thing.
Now is the time for them to plant late rice for the autumn harvest.
Otherwise, what to eat.
This year, the water has also been brought down, which is not the case in previous years.
Manpower is a lot less troublesome.
If you don't take advantage of your current strengths, what if you miss the harvest?
Wang Xiaoqing discussed with Mrs. Wang, and originally potatoes and sweet potatoes were easy to grow in any geology.
Don't occupy the only fertile land you have, after all, you still have to pay taxes.
You can't just eat potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Rice still has to be eaten.
Even brown rice is rice.
Mrs. Wang asked Wang Pengju and Han Dazhi to follow her up the mountain.
The old lady was very experienced.
Wang Xiaoqing is willing to bow down at this point.
She could pick up a scalpel, but she would never farm.
After the old lady checked the mountain, she found a group of old ladies in the village who were about the same age as her and began to open up the wasteland.
The women of the village went down to the fields to plant seedlings.
Some of the young people are working in paper mills.
The only thing to do is to arrange for slightly older people.
It's these aunts.
Don't look at the wasteland and look tired.
But the old lady has experience.
The men went up first to cut down the trees and make out the clearing, and then they went up to turn over the land.
This reduces the work a lot.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes don't pick much soil.
So they moved and soon opened up thirty or forty acres of wasteland.
The main thing is that many people are shaking their heads when they look at this place.
The proportion of sandy soil on the mountain is still too large, and if you grow rice, it is a question of whether you can grow it alive.
But the old lady doesn't mind.
It's just right to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in this field.
Potatoes need this kind of sandy soil.
The big guy doesn't know why, but no one is lazy in his work.
Mrs. Wang can always have some strange ideas.
Everyone thinks that this is the result of old age.
I'm also willing to listen, mainly because the old lady has given people ideas along the way, and they are all life-saving ideas.
No, now the big guy looks at what no one has ever seen, and he doesn't ask, he just does it.
Thirty or forty acres of land, plus some land in the forest, were not a problem at all for those of them who were accustomed to farm work.
In just four or five days, the potatoes and sweet potatoes will be in the ground.
Wang Xiaoqing watched from the side, mainly pondering there, the paper mill has now been put into large-scale operation.
But their market hasn't fully opened up yet.
With the first batch of rice paper in Hongdu on sale.
There should be a lot of people who know about Wang Ji Xuan paper.
Now is the time for them to get a big word out.
That's where manpower comes in.
She pondered that Han Dazhi and Uncle were both talents that had to be sent out.
People can't do it if they don't sharpen.
Han Dazhi must be no problem, he is a human spirit when he goes south and north.
But Uncle is a little worse.
I can't open my mouth now.
But no matter what, this market development delivery and collection of money always have to be done by people close to the trust.
If Wang Pengju can't do it, she really has to think about other people.
But there are not many people in the Wang family who can take it.
Young and strong people learn their crafts in the paper mill.
If you are old, you can't do anything.
That's really a green and yellow lot.
Wang Xiaoqing sat on the ridge of the field, with a mulberry tree above her head, and Mrs. Wang was directing the women to work.
Because of its proximity to Hongdu, the paper industry is well developed.
Wang Xiaoqing thought that if he had the money, he would definitely buy a mountain to plant mulberry trees, and now they would have to spend a lot of money.
Today, the uncle delivered the goods to Xu Ji.
I don't know how it's now.
Mrs. Wang wiped her sweat and walked under the shade of the tree.
"Grandma, drink saliva! I'll give you cool boiled water, but it's still warm. ”
Wang Xiaoqing hurriedly poured water for her grandmother.
In this kind of weather, my grandmother is still busy working in the fields here at such an age! It's not for their mouths.
Mrs. Wang drank a big bowl in one go, and finally quenched her thirst.
"Why hasn't your uncle come back yet? Nothing, right? ”
Don't look at the old lady working there! In fact, I've been worried about things in Hongdu City.
This is the first time I have done business.
It's about the future.
No one in the village has any money.
Everywhere you look, you want money.
They are also staring at the entry with blank eyes.
"It's okay! Grandma, Xu Ji I look at the owner is a smart person, the last time he ate Ma Wei in my hands, he should know how to do things, I'm afraid this time there will be no trouble. I'm worried about Uncle Han, Uncle Han went to nearby Wei County and Qinghe County, so I don't know how the road is going? ”
Wang Xiaoqing took the bowl from her grandmother's hand.
Sit down next to her grandmother and rub against the old lady like a marmot.
Mrs. Wang touched her granddaughter's hair, and the meat that she had raised with great difficulty some time ago was all gone in the days that followed.
It's still skinny.
You have to take care of it.
His hair was jet black.
"What are you bothering about, you kid? It's already a great favor that you can teach them the method, if a few big men can't even open the market by themselves, then it's better not to do business at all, and you can't rely on a female baby to show up all day long to solicit business for them, right? Isn't that a shame on them? ”
The old lady was a tough person in her last life, otherwise she wouldn't be able to raise her granddaughter alone.
I am not afraid of encountering difficulties in my life.
"Ouch, grandma, what you said is domineering, I suddenly feel that the future is bright."
The old lady got a chestnut down.
Wang Xiaoqing was there pretending to scream loudly.
It caused a few aunts to laugh.
"Xiaoqing, how old are you, it's still greasy with your milk, why don't you go after your milk, tie you to the waistband of your pants."
Wang Xiaoqing was not shy, and raised her eyebrows with a smile.
"Auntie! You're good at that! I'll have to prepare a thick waistband. ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
