Chapter 68: Rush

After eating, Liu Zhixian walked around the village very seriously, carefully asked Wei Chenglan how to solve the problem of life after abandoning farming, and asked in detail how much work was used to dig the pond and how much money he borrowed in total, and finally left with a frown.

Although Wei Jiawan's self-help method is very good, but there is no output in the land for more than a year or two, and he has to borrow money to hire workers to dig ponds and repair canals, Wei Chenglan has someone behind him to support, what about other people? The people on both sides of the Jin River, in the past few years, life is not as good as day by day, the original rich people, also sit on the empty mountain, where can they still come up with more than 200 taels of silver? There are such families, who have already bought houses and land elsewhere and settled down.

The good method described in Qian Wenhan's strategy is so difficult to implement, how can it not make Liu Quanhan worried?

Wen Jin sent Wen Han to the county seat the next day, and Ge Shi gave a quilt so as not to buy it again, and also picked up a basket of salted duck eggs and asked Wen Han to give them to Wang Juren. When Wen Han and Wen Jin arrived at the county seat, they got a smile from their husband, and Wen Jin said goodbye to his brother and went to stay in a hotel outside.

The street was unusually depressed, Wen Jin curiously inquired about Xiao Er, it turned out that there were too many people in the county town a while ago, and there were even people who petty theft, and the merchants and residents were so worried that they had to close their doors and try not to go out.

"Guest officer, these people are fighting for the broken temple outside the county, you can rest assured in my store, try not to go out." Xiao Er was kind and authentic.

"Thank you!"

Wen Jin understood why Liu Zhixian was worried, although at this time, the grass and trees on the mountain sprouted, and these people in the county were all lazy people, but they were not accepted for a while, and most of the people who asked for food were really helpless. If this development continues, the magistrate will be able to have a good word for his three-year term, not to mention that he can have a good word, maybe because he can't calm the place, he can't wear the black yarn on his head.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and hunger makes people have to take risks.

The next day, Wen Jin didn't dare to hurry too early, and saw that there were more pedestrians before going home.

The dilemma in Shanyang County is not so easy to solve, especially before the accident, the imperial court will not allocate grain for relief, how to make so much food and resettle so many people? What a problem.

When I got home, it was already dark, Wen Jin briefly told Wei about the changes in Wei Jiawan, Wei was very happy to hear it, fortunately, the married woman, her mother's family did not come to pick her up, and she couldn't run back by herself. Fortunately, Webster is a good woman, and she doesn't have the habit of going back to her parents' house at every turn, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

The next day, Wang Dashan suddenly came and sent a wild boar leg. This year, he has hunted significantly fewer wild animals.

"Alas, there are more people on the mountain than in previous years, and even the hares have moved to the back mountain." He was a kind man, and he continued with a sigh, "There are too many people along the river, and the people in the town are very annoying to them. ”

"There weren't so many people before."

"Yes, the riverside said no, no, the crops planted this year, the seedlings are thin and weak, I'm afraid it will be more serious next year, no way, I'm going to the back mountain tomorrow." This wild boar is in the back mountain. ”

Wen Jin also sighed, although they didn't worry about food and clothing, they could see the unrest around them, and they were also anxious in their hearts.

The kiwifruit seedlings in the clay pot have grown to a height of three inches, and they are already very crowded, and the stems are a little thin, Wen Jin wants to transplant them to the field, but he is afraid that the planting will not survive, so he simply buries the clay pot into the soil together.

The roots of the plant are very strong, and if they grow any longer, the pot will be broken, and then she will separate the seedlings.

The lotus flowers planted on the other side of the pond bloomed, and the ducklings hatched out in groups, raised until they grew small wings, and went down to the pond one after another. The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, the rice has grown to two feet high, the weeds can no longer grow, there is not much to do in the field except for the traffic and water, the cycad is idle, and seeing that Wen Jin sometimes follows the mountain out, he also wants to follow.

"Okay, let's go!" Wen Jin is also willing to take him there, the bracken sprouts and stir-fried vegetable stew are delicious, but it is very troublesome to pick, one more person, one more pairs of hands.

The mountain took them to a peak they had never been to before, which seemed to have been burned by lightning, a lot of new saplings, and rotting old roots, Wen Jin and iron sickles, and a lot of mushrooms, as well as lichens and fungus.

"Iron sickle, tomorrow you go to clean the breeding farm and ask your mother to help me make buns, I want to eat lichen buns." The steamed buns that the two families eat will be very time-consuming, and Wen Jin has to ask for reinforcements.

"Good!" Tie Sickle didn't know that Wen Jin's plan had a share of his family, and he still replied very boldly, after getting along for a long time, the Su family was hearty and interesting, and Wen Jin liked them very much.

On the way home, Wen Jin took out a bush of mushrooms: "Look, Uncle Dashan, what kind of mushroom is this?" It's like a tree, and it's still forked? Although Wen Jin didn't know it, this pure white mushroom was non-toxic, so she wasn't worried about it.

Wang Dashan frowned: "Hey, it seems that someone told me this, why can't I remember." ”

When I got home, it was not dark yet, Wen Jin soaked the lichen in water and washed it, leaving it for tomorrow's food, and spread the rest on the curtain on the bamboo frame to dry.

I heard that Wen Jin wanted to eat steamed buns, and when Webster went to bed at night, he made leaven, and when he got up early the next morning, he just made noodles again.

Wen Jin is responsible for preparing the filling, the weather is hot, she wants to be vegetarian, so she cut the tofu from the Shi family into small pieces, fry them in the oil pan to a slight yellow, and the bracken sprouts picked on the mountain, wash and chop them, plus the cleaned lichen, Wang sent a bowl of duck egg liquid, Wen Jin fried it and chopped it, added vermicelli, mixed with salt and seasonings, saw that the noodles were ready, and the two of them kneaded it on the board, and the three women talked and laughed and began to make buns.

"Aunt Wang, do you smell it?" Merriam-Webster asked.

"Fragrant, very fragrant!" Wang's heartfelt praise.

"Hehe, you don't know, our family is overjoyed when they see Wen Jin going down to the kitchen, this kid doesn't know how to learn, what to do, I've been cooking for half my life, and it's not as delicious as her fiddling."

Wang was still surprised that Wen Jin made steamed buns quickly and well, and when he heard Wei's praise, he couldn't help but admire: "The little owner is smart, what do you do, work in the field, raise ducks and nursery, and even know how to cook in the kitchen, if you can still embroider flowers, there is no one in this world who can't do it." ”

"Hehe, I just don't know how to embroider, the needle is small, it's awkward to handle."

"Hahaha......" all three laughed.

Wang was very surprised that the owner steamed so many steamed buns, but he didn't dare to say anything in his mouth, at the moment, the buns entered the pot, Wang took the initiative to light the fire, Wei's burned a big pot of porridge, Wen Jin ran out to dry the mushrooms and lichens to the middle of the yard, and went to see her kiwi seedlings, and when she got home, a yard smelled of fragrant buns, Wang was wiping the wooden cage and the stove with his hands and feet, ready to uncover the pot.

The special bamboo basket in the kitchen was washed, and the white and fragrant buns were taken out of the pot. Wang filled a basket full of baskets and gave it to Wang: "Aunt Wang, take it home and try Wen Jin's craftsmanship." ”

"How does this work?" Wang was stunned.

"What's not to do? Besides, it's not a good thing, lichens and bracken are all over the mountain. ”

Wang still looked worried, and Wei repeatedly asked her to hold it, and she took it with a red face.

Webster took another small iron pot, scooped out a pot of porridge, followed Wang, and delivered it to her house.

Wang took out a few steamed buns with great discernment, scooped up a big bowl of porridge, and gave it to Uncle Shi, Xiaofeng went out to buy tofu, Uncle Shi was at home alone, there were a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, and breakfast was fine.

Webster smiled, she was going to make another run. This Wang is not greedy, and is very content.

Uncle Shi was also preparing to fry tofu, and when he saw the hot buns, he smiled happily, he knew that the Wang family sent it over, and it was given by Chengxin, so he was not polite and took it happily.

"The owner gave it."

"Huh? Then I'm blessed, Wen Jin is a good cook. ”

When Wang heard this, he knew that it was often eaten, and his heart was not so entangled, but he was working in the back, and he was more diligent and conscious.

Wei went back with the empty pot and the basket, Su Tongde and Uncle Wang took the buns, squatted at the door and chatted: "Uncle Shi, how many years have you been with the Qian family?" ”

"It's been three years. If it weren't for the Qian family, my life might have been gone. ”

"Huh?" Su Tongde's eyes widened in surprise.

Uncle Shi told him about his injury and his grandson's small things.

Su Tongde was moved, and sighed: "I finally came to work, I met a nobleman, it doesn't matter if we work hard, the key is that this day, there is a head." ”

"But no, I never dreamed that Xiao Feng could get engaged and marry a daughter-in-law, our Shi family, not only can we live in peace, but we are also getting more prosperous day by day."

Since then, Su Tongde has worked harder, and the ten ewes Wen Jin bought have all been pregnant one after another.

"Uncle Su, you bother, so be it, I won't treat you badly, for every lamb in the flock, I will reward you with a hundred yuan."

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"If you give it to you, you will take it, if you use your heart, I will also have a heart."

Su Tongde already knew that the second young master of the owner's family, don't look at the small people, he counts his words, he is more than the master of the owner's family, and he is very happy in his heart, as soon as he has free time, he drives the sheep to the front of the mountain to eat fresh grass, plus some earthworms and insect powder feed with Wen Jin, several ewes grow very strong. Finally there are lotus seeds began to ripen, Wen Jin rowed a canoe, in the evening, carefully picked the first lotus pod, although there is only a small basket, she is also very happy, this is hope, next year, the year after that, this income will be more and more, and the life of the family is getting better and better. Qian Xiangui has been in the county government for half a year, and he gradually got acquainted with it, plus spending money to pay for it, inviting colleagues to eat, drink and give gifts, and finally opened up the situation.
