Chapter 196

This is not two days ago, and several aunts are still discussing to repair the yard of their house together. 【Latest chapter reading. There is no need to build a new one, so the courtyard wall is re-enclosed, and some new belongings are being added to the house.

With that motivation, who is willing to be lazy and slippery and not work?

Seeing Lin Baozhu coming, a few people who were busy in the courtyard looked up and said hello, and a few said that there was a happy event at home, and they would have to go over to drink a few glasses of happy wine when the time came.

Looking at everyone's simple and sincere smiles, Lin Baozhu also responded again and again. Thinking that the new batch of tea had not yet been refined, Lin Baozhu took Aunt Ma and Daju into the tea room to work. said that it was busy work, but in fact, the main craft of refining, Aunt Ma and Da Ju had almost learned, and now even Da Ya herself can refine white cockscomb tea, and she doesn't need to help her anymore.

That is, when it is spring tea, in order to make the heat and taste more fragrant, Lin Baozhu needs to master it personally.

When I came back from the workshop, it was already time for dinner. Qiu Niang and Sister-in-law Cui had already cooked the meal, because there was fish soup and vegetables left over from noon, and at this time, a few people baked a few meatloaf to fill their stomachs.

Talking and laughing, the meal is over. Because Qingqing and Hongmei are now following the eldest girl, Lin Baozhu let the two girls rest in the front yard. The east house kang of the big girl on the left and right is big enough, and there is also a back room, so it is not crowded.

Regarding Mrs. Cui's decision, Qiu Niang and Sister-in-law Cui have nothing to do, they know in their hearts that this is Mrs. looking down on them, and Mrs. is considerate of her daughter. So he said that he had the idea of unwillingness, and he didn't even have a trace of embarrassment.

After eating, the eldest girls talked to Lin Baozhu in the house. It's just talking, but Lin Baozhu encouraged the eldest girl to tell more stories to the two girls, and then talk about what she saw and experienced during the day.

With such a toss, the sky will be dark. Seeing that it was time to sleep, but she didn't want the big girl to linger and didn't want to go, even Qingqing had already made hot water for her to wash, but she ignored it for a long time.

"Mother, I'm going to sleep with you tonight." To be honest, when the eldest girl, who has become more and more aware of things, said that she wanted to sleep with her mother, she was still a little embarrassed. The little fingers twisted around the clothes, and they were all wrinkled.

Lin Baozhu raised her eyebrows and pretended to think, but she didn't want the little girl to learn from anyone, so she directly pestered her and climbed onto the kang, and then snuggled in her arms and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Mother, the eldest girl was just praised by the old gentleman today, and you will reward the eldest girl." Seeing that Lin Baozhu still didn't let go, she hurriedly said flatteringly, "If you don't write a hundred more big characters tomorrow, you can let the big girl sleep with you." ”

Looking at those big flickering eyes constantly shooting at himself, cute and well-behaved, with that round face, it was really cute and annoying Lin Baozhu. She reached out and poked the big girl's face, and couldn't help laughing, "You're a ghost elf." ”

With permission, the eldest girl blinked her eyes and pursed her lips and laughed happily. She will accompany her mother tonight, and she will not let her mother fall asleep again. Two days ago, my mother was in a very bad mood during the day, and Grandma Tian said that her mother didn't rest well at night, she didn't know why her mother didn't sleep well, maybe she had nightmares like before.

Anyway, she will coax her mother to sleep tonight, just like when her mother coaxed her.

In the next few days, Lin Baozhu pondered the development of the river beach. Thinking that Cui's sister-in-law's house used to be by the sea, Xu was more familiar with fish and shrimp farming, so he called someone to ask about it.

Only after this question did I know that Wang Dakui had really raised fish and shrimp before following the tea farmers. It's a pity that near the sea, there is no shortage of those things, and who is willing to spend money to buy them that nature has given them for free. What's more, even if the general restaurant wants fish, there are very few, most of them are used to stew fish soup or cook vegetables, so he later abandoned his old profession to guard the tea garden.

Speaking of Da Kui, although honest and can't read, but he likes to fiddle with some things, when he used to live in the tea mountain, he also dug a puddle by himself to learn to grow lotus. I heard Cui's sister-in-law say that they also ate lotus root several times that year, but unfortunately there were too few lotus roots, and they couldn't sell them.

Looking at Sister-in-law Cui's expression of pity, Lin Baozhu was overjoyed, this was simply a nowhere to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. You know, if it is easy to find someone who can raise fish and grow lotuses, Mr. Li will not delay until now.

When Wang Dakui got the letter and hurried back, he realized that his wife wanted to plant some lotus flowers in the water of the river beach. It didn't bother him, but it took a lot of work.

"Madam, the villain used to learn how to plant lotus flowers, and he used lotus seeds to transplant them. If it is calculated according to the current day, it is estimated that it will be able to grow in one and a half to two months, if it is late, I am afraid that it will have to wait until next spring, or the lotus seedlings will have to freeze to death in winter. ”

He used to plant lotus flowers, and he always made a small hole in the tip of the lotus seed, and then put it into the water, and changed the water every day to wait, so that it slowly grew roots and leaves. When the roots grow, they transplant them into the pit one by one.

When the lotus flowers with long leaves and roots are transplanted into the pit and there is water, it can be regarded as a crazy growth. Especially in the hot summer and rainy days, it takes half a month to grow into a large lotus leaf.

"As for fish farming, it's much easier, it's mainly about choosing the fry. If it were in the pond on the riverbank, it was living water, and there were so many living creatures in it that I don't even need to feed it. ”

Seeing that it is about to enter September, according to Wang Dakui, if it is colder, I am afraid that the lotus will not grow. Speaking of which, the objects that need to be planted can be put away first, and now the top priority is to buy lotus seeds first, so that Wang Dakui can teach to plant lotus flowers.

The more than 60 acres of river beach land has a large pond on the side. If you want to repair it, it will also take manpower and effort. But fortunately, there are still many laborers in Peachtree Bay who have not found a long-term job, and if they are hired by themselves, they will not worry that no one will work.

As for such a big place, if you want so many lotus seeds to sprout and grow leaves, Wang Dakui may not be able to complete it. She is not too worried, as long as she finds a few reliable families and learns to come together, she is not afraid of wasting some things, and she can finally make up the point of transplanting.

After thinking about it like this, she made up her mind in her heart.

After seeing the spring and summer, the tea trees in the tea fields outside grow as long as possible, and the tea leaves can be picked after autumn. Now the people who grow tea with Lin Baozhu in the village are probably looking forward to the wind and rain and the arrival of winter soon.

It's rare to say, in previous years, the most feared thing for every family was winter. After all, no one has so much spare money to buy cotton to make cotton clothes and quilts, not to mention the Chinese New Year, which is a big expense. But this year is different, and everyone is looking forward to picking the first crop of winter tea.

And the rest of those who think that they are sorry for their ancestors if they don't grow food, and some who wait and see, now they also regret it. Especially when I saw other people's families getting together and finally calculated how much money could be made in winter, I regretted it even more, and now I am looking forward to the days to pass quickly, and I will be determined to grow tea with Baozhu next spring.

Anyway, after the tea planting thing, the big guy no longer felt unbelievable when he heard that Baozhu was going to plant lotus flowers. Seeing that someone had already got the letter, he first went to Zhang's house to get lotus seeds, and began to follow Wang Dakui to learn to raise lotus seeds, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, so they all went to find Lin Baozhu together to inquire.

This inquiry has caused a craze for raising lotus seeds. And some of them acted late, knowing that Zhang Ji was going to recruit people to reclaim the lotus pond, and the wages were the same as those in the workshop, so they all hurried home and called their own men to sign up. And some people who worked outside also hurried home after receiving a message from home, for fear of missing this good thing.

After all, working for people at the door of the house, the salary is not low, and they can take care of the old and young in the family, who doesn't want to do it? Even if the salary is less, they are happy.

As the people who got the lotus seeds in the family were full of joy to find that the lotus seeds had taken root and grown leaves, Wang Dakui also began to collect the lotus seeds from house to house and transplant them into the pond. Because the lotus leaves that have just been transplanted cannot all be soaked in water, and now they need shallow water until the vertical leaves grow, so he is extra careful every time he transplants, for fear that he will hurt the lotus seedlings.

In this way, after nearly a month of busy work day and night, the lotus flowers in a pond can be considered to have grown. At least, one by one, they have grown vertical leaves, and they are not afraid of deep water and shallow water.

I don't know if it's because Lin Baozhu doesn't understand it very well, or because of the ambient temperature here, it's already the second half of September, but I don't want there to be a small lotus blooming. It's not a lot of shock, but it's also quite rare in this autumn.

The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. Now Lin Baozhu's favorite thing is to lead the big wolf, and after eating, he walks around the river beach and the pond. Of course, the same is true for others, and children come more.

Fortunately, everyone listened to Lin Baozhu, so after knowing that Aunt Baozhu said that he was not allowed to go into the water, no stinky boy dared to go into the water to make a fuss. Occasionally, a few greedy people who want to play in the water will also be taught a lesson by the bench and a few children left over from the dog.

As the lotus grows, the fry also go into the water. Because Peachtree Bay is far away from the sea, and there are no fish fry sold nearby, so for this matter, she personally went to ask the shopkeeper of the Wen Family Teahouse. even endured the pain for the first time and made a small packet of oriental beauty tea, which can be regarded as going to his favor.

Sure enough, the door of the Wen family was not built, and on the fourth day of the Wen shopkeeper's response, a truckload of fish fry in wooden barrels was transported to Peachtree Bay. There were four carts, thousands of catties of fish fry, and Lin Baozhu spent twenty taels of silver.
