Chapter 30 Spring ploughing is busy
Serve the second watch on time, there are so few tickets today, don't you like it? So wronged...... )
Nothing was said all night.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Xiaoxiao woke up, and she had been thinking about the start of the farm today. When I woke up, I saw that Qing'er and Qiu'er around me were gone. When I put on my clothes and walked out of the room, I saw the light on in the kitchen, and wisps of cooking smoke were coming out of the kitchen, thinking that it was two girls preparing breakfast.
In the distance, the rooster announced the dawn, and all kinds of birds began to chirp. Look up at Huashan Mountain looming in the early morning mist, look at the green fields of crops outside the fence walls, look at the farmers who get up early to work in the fields, and look at the curling smoke rising from the kitchen. Xiao Xin couldn't help but moan comfortably: "What a vibrant morning......"
walked to the door of the study and listened quietly, Jiang Zhixuan's even breathing sound came from inside, as well as the sound of Li Qin grinding his teeth from time to time, and I didn't know if I dreamed of something delicious. Xiao Xiao shook his head and smiled, and went back to the bedroom to get dressed and washed.
Wait for the little wash to finish and get dressed and come out. Qing'er has already prepared a delicious breakfast. The maids from big families are different, and even the dim sum they make is ashamed of themselves. Two plates of white raw xiaolongbao, a bowl of glutinous and fragrant millet porridge, and a plate of green onion dripping vegetarian vegetables, which makes people have a great appetite.
Xiaoxiao raised her orchid fingers, twisted a small long bao, put it in her mouth and gently bit it, and a fresh fragrance instantly rushed to her stomach. It turned out that the bun was stuffed with leeks, and there was no pork. Chong Qing'er and Fu'er gave a thumbs up, just like that, they took a bun and nibbled while walking, and ran to call the two lazy pigs who were still sleeping to get up and eat......
Before the family's breakfast was finished, the two brothers Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng rushed over. Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked them if they had eaten, and the two brothers nodded: "I came here after eating!" So Xiao Xiao told them to sit down and rest first, and then wait for the two tenant farmers to come.
After breakfast, the two tenant farmers also arrived. There were two husbands and wives, both of whom were loyal and honest farmers. Xiaoxiao didn't put any shelves in the owner's house, and asked them about their situation one by one. Knowing that they lived on the other side of town, they had come early in the morning, and it was not time for breakfast. Hurriedly instructed Qing'er to bring over a basket of steamed buns left over from breakfast and let them pad their stomachs first. The buns were still steaming, which made the two couples grateful for a while.
After they finished eating, Xiaoxiao said to Jiang Zhixuan, and asked the mustache to clean up the dishes and chopsticks at home. Then he took Qing'er and led the two Yunfeng brothers and the two hired couples to the temporary workers' dormitory first to settle down the accommodation. On the way, Jiang Yun, Jiang Feng and two hired couples were introduced.
A hired worker in his thirties is surnamed Wang, and Xiaoxiao calls him Lao Wang, while Jiang Yun and Jiangfeng call him Brother Wang and his wife Sister-in-law. The other is nearly fifty years old, and Jiang Zhixuan is from his own family, and his surname is Jiang. So Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng all called him Uncle Jiang, and his wife naturally became Aunt Jiang.
They are all innocent white families, and they have come all the way, and they know almost all the information they should know. Brother Wang has a teenage son, he and his daughter-in-law came out to work as hired laborers, and the son was left to the old mother to take with him. Uncle Jiang's son is over 20 years old, and he became a relative a few years ago, and he went to Jingzhao Mansion with his daughter-in-law to join a relative as a shopkeeper, but there is nothing to worry about at home.
Jiangjia Farm already has a basic prototype. The entire farm was fenced off with a simple wooden fence, of course, because of the lack of upfront capital and labor. Slowly, as the farm grows, a solid fence will be built throughout the farm, and it will develop into a manor style.
The most resemblance of the whole farm is the gate now. A large piece of bluestone is used as a base, and a torii is erected with thick timber on top. On the top of the archway is Jiang Zhixuan's inscription of four big characters: "Love the small farm!", and his Xie Yuan seal is also engraved on the lower right, which shows his support and attention to the small farm.
There are six dormitories for workers on the farm, all of which are made of wood. Since it was still in its infancy, there was no extra silver to build a large tiled house, so the roof was covered with thick thatch. However, all the daily necessities are prepared, and there is also a separate kitchen and bathroom. This made Brother Wang and Uncle Jiang move for a while: this hostess is very caring, and all aspects have been thought of for them!
Repay the favor, since the master's family is so good to them. Brother Wang and Uncle Jiang are both honest people, of course, they want to work as soon as possible and repay the preferential treatment of the master's family. At that moment, each chose one as the couple's residence. Then I hurriedly asked about the small work arrangement.
At present, the first chicken pens and pig barns on the farm have been completed, and the water in the pond is almost empty. The second batch of chicken pens and other facilities are under the auspices of the craftsmen found by Uncle Jiang, and they are being constructed intensively according to the small design plan.
At the moment, Xiaoxiao divided the people into two groups: one group is headed by Jiang Yun, assisted by Uncle Jiang and his wife, mainly responsible for the chicken farm, the specific work is to feed the chickens every day, and drive the chickens to the designated place to graze, and an important job is to recycle the feces produced by these chickens. The other group, led by Jiang Feng and assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Wang, is mainly responsible for the pig farm, and the specific work is also daily feeding and cleaning of the pig house, and dumping the resulting manure into the pond.
They are all farmers, and they are no strangers to these jobs, nor do they feel dirty and repulsed, so they all nodded and agreed. Xiaoxiao also explained some points that need to be paid attention to, such as regular disinfection and sterilization of chicken pens and pig houses, and daily stocking time control of chickens. Seeing that they all understood almost well, he led them to the town. There, there are also chicks and piglets that she has ordered a long time ago, waiting for her to retrieve them.
When I arrived in the town, I took Jiang Yun's group to pick up the chicken cubs first. The town has been running almost all over the town, but there is no way, the amount she wants is too large, and no single farmer can meet the needs of the farm alone. It was not until noon that he collected 1,500 chickens and spent more than 30 taels of silver. Fortunately, the town was not far from home, and Jiang Yun took Uncle Jiang and Sister-in-law to run back and forth five times before transporting these chicken cubs back and putting them in the chicken pen.
Xiaoxiao wanted to take the group home for lunch, but after thinking about it, he didn't tell Yan'er to prepare meals for so many people when he came out. What's more, the place at home is not large, so many people will definitely look very crowded when they go back. So Fa Qing'er went back and said to Jiang Zhixuan, saying that she wouldn't go home for dinner at noon. Then I took two groups of hired workers and found a random restaurant for lunch.
After eating, take a break in the restaurant and then go to pick up the piglets. This is also a job of running and breaking legs, 1,500 chicks, only about 30 households to collect. And a hundred piglets also have to run about 30 households. There is no way, an ordinary farmer can raise forty or fifty chickens, but it is impossible to raise the same number of pigs. Even if the owner's family doesn't eat anything, all the food saved is not enough to feed the pigs. Besides, who would do such a brainless thing......
Although she doesn't have to pick and carry it herself, at the end of the afternoon, Xiaoxiao feels the most tired, and she looks tired. A little piglet weighs nearly 30 pounds, and Sister-in-law Wang is a woman, so she can only pick back two at a time. Brother Wang and Jiang Feng are strong laborers, and they can pick four heads at a time. But those naughty little piglets were always bouncing around in the frame, making Jiang Feng and Brother Wang, who were walking with them, staggering as if they were drunk. If it was three trips, both of them were a little unbearable, but fortunately, Jiang Yun and Uncle Jiang rushed to help. Even so, by the time the last piglet was locked up in the barn of Love Farm, it was already dark.
arranged the work of Brother Wang and Uncle Jiang in the evening, and asked the two cousins Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng to stay on duty, and explained some things that they needed to pay attention to. Xiaoxiao dragged her tired body home, and she was still thinking in her heart that she wanted to rush back to prepare dinner for Jiang Zhixuan. But when I walked to the door, I saw Qing'er and Qiu'er standing in the courtyard with strange faces. Seeing her come back, she showed a crying and laughing expression at the same time......
