Chapter 430: Stewardship
Chrysanthemum put a cover on the pot where the chicken is buried, spread a large piece of gauze on the top of the cover, and then pour the boiled chicken feet and chicken heads on it, and dry the water with the heat below. Read with me – keep it in mind
This hood was made by Zhang Dazhuan in the morning, and he made two of them, both of which were flat-topped.
The gourd smelled the scent and pulled her hand and pointed to the cover.
Chrysanthemum squatted down and asked, "Gourd wants to eat this?" It's spicy! ”
The gourd pulled her hand and jumped twice, smiled and didn't speak, and said after a while: "Don't be afraid of spicy!" ”
Chrysanthemum pursed her lips and smiled, asked Grape to bring a bowl and chopsticks, picked up a meaty chicken wing, and removed the meat to feed him.
Liu Yunlan hurriedly came up to help him wipe his mouth, and said worriedly: "Gourd, I can't eat it, it's spicy and my stomach hurts." Mother let Grandma Ma steam the eggs, let's go drink egg soup, okay? ”
Chrysanthemum didn't dare to feed it, stuffed the rest into his mouth, and then said to him: "Gourd, Aunt Ming'er will eat you if it's not spicy." ”
The gourd probably couldn't stand it anymore, so he didn't follow it anymore, inhaling and laughing.
Yang shouted: "This baby, why do you eat everything?" Chrysanthemum, you're too attached to him. Yun Lan, take him to his house quickly, drink steamed eggs, and look at this little mouth is so spicy - it's all sleeved. ”
Chrysanthemum looked at the figure of the gourd and was very apologetic.
This spicy chicken feet, chicken head and chicken wings, etc., she originally wanted to imitate the snacks such as long-lasting duck neck or salt-baked chicken wings bought on the street in her previous life, but she can only eat them, she can't make them, and she doesn't understand why they make them very dry, so this pirated version is not like it - it is completely made by her own imagination, and the taste is also fragrant.
It was noisy, and it was so busy that when the lamp was held, the family had dinner, and the chrysanthemums and acacia seeds rested.
"We used 40 chickens in two days, and we can't sell this chicken for a few days. Have you thought about buying chickens? Huaizi hugged the chrysanthemum, leaned against the bed and asked.
Chrysanthemum nodded and said, "It's all arranged." My mother's family and people who knew each other in our village all said hello. buy their chickens one by one; Grandma Murakami, Laixi also said hello; It's Qingbei Village, and I also told Uncle Liu. Besides, they raised chickens to lay eggs. Now that I'm buying all year round, it's time for them to keep hatching chicks and feed them. Also, I won't need so many chickens in the next day, but now it's just opened, and people are greedy for freshness, and when it stabilizes, it can sell ten to fifteen chickens a day. That's it. ”
Huaizi nodded, and said, "I asked Wu Cheng, the son of Old Man Wu, to take care of the paddy field, and my father was watching from the side; Let the old man Wang and his family take care of your mountains; I took Uncle Liu out and helped me take care of the fungus and raise pigs. Read with me - please remember that the fungus is growing well now, and I don't feel at ease to let others do it, so let him be in charge of it with the black skin in the future. I'm looking around. ”
Chrysanthemum smiled: "That's how it should be." Brother Huaizi, you personally work in the fields, it's too laborious. You need to keep an eye on everything in the house, and just arrange for them to do those things. When the chickens on the mountain are raised next year, we will only be busier. ”
Zhang Huai nodded. said to her: "I asked Uncle Liu to take care of the two cows in the family to the Wang family and the Wu family, and now Heipi has no time to herd the cattle." ”
Chrysanthemum felt that her eyelids were heavy, her body slipped down, and she said in a daze: "This is rich, why do I feel busier?" Brother Huaizi, I haven't even gone out to play, and I don't have time to go up the mountain for a walk......"
Huaizi listened to her muttering and complaining, and hugged her helplessly, secretly thinking that she should arrange things at home, and then take her out to play for a while. Even if you just go to the mountains to play, you can't make more money, but your life is not as comfortable as usual, so what are you doing to make money?
The next day, Huaizi came to the tenant Wu Cheng's house.
Both the Wu and Wang families were newly built mud-walled houses, but they were covered with tiles. It is built on both sides of the bamboo garden of chrysanthemums to protect this 150 acres of mountainous land.
He stood outside the fence and was a little stunned: Why was it so similar to his old dwelling? No, it's better than his old house, which he used to live in.
"The young owner is here? Come in and sit. A tall and bold man carrying a straw rake was about to go out, and when he saw Zhang Huai, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully and let him go to the courtyard.
Zhang Huai saw that it was Wu Cheng, and he was about to look for him, so he followed him into the hospital.
Wu Cheng's two younger brothers were also about to go out, and when they saw Shaodong's family coming, they also put down the farm tools in their hands and saw what he had to explain.
Old man Wu was very happy to see that the young owner had come to the door, and while serving a bench for him to sit, he called his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Zhang Luo tea. He respects the Zhang family from the bottom of his heart, and he is not at all like those rich and big families, who don't treat tenants as people. But where are the tenants of their own house and the Wang family opposite? The food and shelter are even better than they were at the beginning.
The Wu family has many children, three sons and two daughters; The Wang family on the opposite side is also the same, with five sons and a daughter, and the hair of the old couple is all white. These families with many children failed to hold on the year before last and became tenants.
Wu Ying, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, was fifteen years old, and when she saw the young owner, her face was full of sleeves, and her heart jumped up.
Huaizi thanked her, took a sip, and continued to talk to Wu Cheng.
Yingzi sat at the door rubbing a basin of clothes, while secretly looking at the young owner, feeling that he was not big at all, and treated people very well. She didn't pour water from a teacup, she poured white water with a large coarse porcelain bowl, and the young owner didn't dislike it, and took a sip. I heard that the young grandmother was usually very ugly, and the young owner didn't dislike it, and married her, but now the young grandmother's face has been cured and she has become very good-looking.
The simple little girl has infinite yearning and longing for such a pure feeling, so seeing Zhang Huai's gaze is simply adoring, secretly thinking that if she can marry such a loving male baby, she is willing to eat chaff vegetables.
In a daze, she rubbed and rubbed a pair of pants, not knowing how to change her clothes. Her sister Xiaoxi was carrying a bucket of dishwashing water to feed the pigs, and seeing that her sister hadn't finished rubbing, it was very strange, why was the eldest sister so slow today?
Huaizi carefully told Wu the various things in the paddy field, from the current management of the rice field to the harvest of rice.
"You know I have a lot of family affairs, and I can't take care of that. I see that you are a loyal person, and you are willing to use your brains to do things, so I will hand over the paddy field to you, and I will also hand over the field you will buy in the future - as long as you can manage it well. You see, except for Uncle Liu's father and son, I don't have any useful manpower around me, if you really help the Zhang family with your heart, my father and I will definitely not treat you badly. Your Wu family and Wang family are the first to follow the Zhang family, and as long as the Zhang family can develop in the future, you will also follow the light. ”
The Zhang family will definitely be developed!
Wu Cheng thought excitedly, that was a talented man.
His face was flushed, and he solemnly assured Huaizi: "We must take the things that the young owner explained, we must take it to heart." Let's take a look at the young owner: in the future, the paddy field will definitely not let the owner worry a little - our father and son will take care of the more than 50 acres of paddy field. ”
Old man Wu shouted in a loud voice: "If you can't do this thing well, then my old man Wu has nowhere to put his old face//.//, dig a hole in the ground and get into it." There are so many tenants, the owner has picked the Wu family and the Wang family, if you don't do it well, how can you be worthy of the owner! ”
Huaizi smiled: "Not only to take care of my own paddy fields, but also to collect rent from tenants when the time comes, these jobs have to be sent, so I will look for you?" When harvesting rice, you can give me an idea of how many people to hire and how much money you want to use, and as long as it is suitable, I will depend on you. ”
Wu Cheng saw that he valued himself so much, and while he was happy, he also felt heavy on his shoulders, and he said solemnly: "The young owner just put his heart in his stomach, I will be careful about these things, and if you can't make up your mind, you will ask the young owner." ”
Shaodongjia is literate and hyphenated, and he admires him in general.
Huaizi nodded, looked at the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wu family, and said to the old man Wu: "Let you live on the mountain in order to take care of this more than 100 acres of land, especially this bamboo forest and the woods opposite, which will be of great use in the future - maybe my family will move over in the future - Uncle Wu asked his aunt and sister-in-law to take care of them more often." ”
Old man Wu slapped his chest loudly, even told him to rest assured, and said that he had fed two dogs to guard the portal.
Hearing that the owner will move over in the future, Old Man Wu's family is very happy: this side will prosper in the future.
Huaizi discussed with Wu Cheng for a while, telling them to be more vigilant at night, and then quit.
The father and son of the Wu family got up to see each other off, he walked far away, the tall and straight figure had been blocked by the courtyard wall, and Yingzi was still looking out blankly.
Yingzi Niang frowned and looked at her daughter, reminding, "Yingzi, what are you looking at?" If you don't do your laundry yet, you have to go back to the field to gather grass. ”
Yingzi hurriedly responded, lowered her head and quickly rubbed her clothes, but her heart was empty, as if a piece had been dug up.
Huaizi left the Wu family and went to the bottom of the mountain again, and found the Wang family father and son who were picking grass in the soybean field, and also explained something. When the arrangements were made, it was already sunset, so he hurried home and discussed with Uncle Liu.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Chrysanthemum sitting under the eaves of the porch to help Chestnut try on a stone blue pants.
Strangely, the trousers were attached to the upper body, and the top was like a small waistcoat, and the trousers were rolled up in a circle, and the edges were trimmed with sleeves; The upper body is a small gown with large sleeves, lined with a stone blue vest outside, which makes the chestnut face more and more pink, the eyes are black and bright, and it looks extremely energetic.
Chrysanthemum sandwiched the chestnut between her legs, lowered her head to help him tie the belt, and said to the grape standing aside with the shallot: "The big sleeves must be black or stone blue to be able to hold it down, even if it is a small baby, try not to match the sleeves with green - too ugly; The trousers are rolled up and trimmed with the sleeves, which is not only beautiful, but in the future, the pants will be short, and you can put them down and wear them again. Save the little baby from growing up fast, and the clothes are not worn out, so they are small. ”
Grape said: "It doesn't matter if it's small, after all, the young grandmother still has to give birth, and it will be left for the small one to wear in the future." That's how it is in my house: my brother wears small clothes, and I continue to wear them; I wore a small one, and my grandmother washed and mended it, folded it neatly, and put it away neatly, and waited for the future to wear the small well. Why don't you say, 'the new boss, the old second, make up for the third one'! ”
