Because the family was going to open up the wasteland, Bai Shengwu, who was sent to Zhu's house, was called back again, followed by Uncle Zhu.

"This burning is not something that can be done in a day or two, and my brother has come to help in the past few days. But, old sister, you have opened up so many wastelands at once, I'm afraid that some people will not be happy! ”

This person's heart is like that, no one says anything if you grow some vegetables for an acre and a half, but there is a lot of wasteland to open up, and you plant a large area of crops, will someone be jealous?

Zhu smiled, leaned closer and whispered to Uncle Zhu, Uncle Zhu raised his eyebrows when he heard it, and then looked at Xu Wenlan behind him: "Wow, it's amazing - I said Ying Kui, you picked up a little golden rooster and came back!" ”

Bai Yingkui, who stayed at home to help burn the wasteland, smiled innocently, but just mowed the grass with his head bored.

Xu Wenlan handed it to Uncle Zhu with a water bowl, and said directly: "Uncle, my father is amazing!" Later, my dad will build a big house for our family......"

Uncle Zhu laughed, there was no malice in what he said just now, and he wouldn't be angry at this time: "Yes, this will protect my father, and it will be done, why does my uncle have a bowl of water!" ”

This burning is not a fire, you have to cut the grass on the surrounding ground first, leaving a separation zone, because the fire is too strong to control and then burn other land.

The wasteland that Xu Wenlan bought is contiguous in patches, and just cutting the grass on the border is not a small project.

How big is 20 acres of land? If you want to change to square meters, one acre of land is about 666.7 square meters, and twenty acres of land is about 13,300 square meters, if it is rectangular, it is about 133 meters by 100 meters!

This has to be put aside in modern times, building a small factory to eat and rent for a lifetime, or a small municipal square and a small park, and then not allowing the plot rate to be low, and developing it into a community to build eight or ten houses.

Xu Wenlan's small house in her previous life was only about 50 square meters, how could she have thought that the land she owned when she returned to the Qing Dynasty would be counted as 10,000 square meters?

This is not a seventy-year property right, this land is bought and hers, as long as the descendants hold the title deed, it will be theirs, of course, when the land is divided in the future, it will be another matter, and who will care about what will happen in a few hundred years?

With the fire of burning the wasteland, the whole village knew that Bai Lao and everyone were going to open up the wasteland.

Those who love to join in the excitement all came to see the excitement, and the fire was so blazing that people's faces were red.

The bear children who don't care about anything are running around, bouncing and excited like the New Year, but the adults have different expressions.

"Brother Bai, you have opened up a lot of land!" Some people who can talk come over to inquire, but more of them are listening with their ears stunned.

Bai Yingkui laughed, but said honestly: "You have to farm!" ”

The old man came over and looked pleased: "That's right, our farmer's family is still the land, and even going to the city to work for a short time is not a long-term thing." ”

Bai Yingkui agreed, but he still didn't reveal that Xu Wenlan bought the land.

This was said early in the morning, first, they had just separated from their families, and where the money to buy the land came from was a matter of mouth; Second, the wealth is not exposed, and he bought 20 acres of land at once, although it is wasteland, it is eye-catching enough, but I am afraid of being unexpected.

The fire burned for more than an hour before it was extinguished.

I was afraid that there was a fire that was not extinguished, and I would catch it myself at night, and when the heat was dissipated, Bai Yingkui and Zhu Dacheng took the children to turn over with wooden sticks.

The grass ash after burning does not need to be transported, and it is used as fertilizer when the ground is ploughed. It's just that the roots of shrubs and grass roots that are not burned in the soil are not very easy to deal with, and Xu Wenlan and a few of them have to be picked up from the soil and thrown away.

For five whole days, with the oxen and plough brought by Uncle Zhu, the land was turned over.

Xu Wenlan used the small succulent bonsai in the evening time is also done, although there is no chinchilla or other small animal decoration, but it is also ancient and cute, the small pebbles on it are still the pebbles that Bai Shengwu helped to dig by the river.

I didn't send it in person, but I just took it to Guo Buluo's mansion with a letter with it.

The next day, I received a letter from Minglan that she also got a pot of Guanyin lotus a few days ago, but it was not as fun as Xu Wenlan sent. It can be seen that the quality of this thing still depends on whether the person who sent it is attentive. He also said that when her eldest brother came to the Bai family, she would definitely follow.

When Xu Wenlan received the letter, she couldn't help blinking, and said in her heart that she had inadvertently given someone eye medicine?

When the wasteland is cleared, crops must be planted.

At this time, the valley rain has long passed, and the spring wheat has already been planted, and at this time the ground is already green, even if the field wants to plant wheat, it is also out of season.

Bai Yingkui and the Zhu family discussed, and when they couldn't grow wheat, they planted bud rice and soybeans.

Although it was a few days earlier than usual, it was the right time of year.

Early in the morning, the family went to the county town to buy seeds, and Xu Wenlan went back to this small market to sell seeds for the first time.

However, it is also this season that is lively, and after the sowing season, it will be depressed, and in the cold winter wax moon, this small market selling grain and agricultural tools will not even have people to set up stalls.

She doesn't know much about farming, Bai Yingkui and his family look at each stall from stall, which one is better than the seeds, she wanders around the market, followed by Bai Shengwu, staring at her with a pair of eyes, following closely like a puppy, and chanting words in her mouth: "You haven't been here to this set, if you lose it, I won't be able to explain it to my father and mother." ”

Phew, I don't know who is leading whom!

I was too lazy to pay attention to that kid, and after knowing that the three brothers and sisters had dumped him alone, this kid loved to stare at people, for fear that he would do something big and fall on him.

Look left and right, there are seeds and seedlings everywhere, and there are seeds that Xu Wenlan doesn't know, after seeing too much, Xu Wenlan is a little dizzy, and when he turns around, he suddenly sees something a little familiar.

Approaching the stall where no one was around, Xu Wenlan squatted down and stared at the few things on the stall that looked like big radishes and mustard gnocchi.

"Uncle, what is this?" It looks a little like it, but I can't recognize it.

No one got together, and the uncle who sold seeds had a bitter face, although he saw that Xu Wenlan was a little girl, he still smiled reluctantly: "This is a beet!" It's the same as the radishes! Haven't seen it, have you? Also, we really haven't planted anything here......"

"Oh......" It's really a sugar beet, Xu Wenlan has seen this thing at the home of a friend from the Northeast who he knew in his previous life.

In later generations, the white sugar eaten in the north was produced by this, and the yield in the northeast was very high, just like eating sucrose in the south, the northeast basically ate the sugar produced by sugar beets.

However, after wearing it, Xu Wenlan really hasn't seen any species, and now I think it's probably a newly introduced species, and no one knows the goods at all.
