Chapter 166: Three Dragons Play in the Water
"Can this be dug?" No matter how much this well is dug in front of the gate, it can't be!
"My brother discussed it and wanted to try it. If we can't dig wells, we won't be paid for these three wells. I also help you fill in this borehole for free. β
In this situation, if you don't dig it, it's better to fill these two wells.
Since you have to fill in the borehole with or without digging it, it is better to dig it and try it, and you can be lucky enough to dig the wellbore!
You say that this ancestor of the Tian family is lucky! Or lucky! The two brothers have also been digging wells for many years, and it is the first time they have encountered such a thing.
I've never heard from other well diggers that this kind of thing isn't.
In other people's homes, when they are lucky, they dig a hot spring at most, build this hot spring into a hut or a big house, and then dig a well.
Fortunately, the two wells are in the house, otherwise it would be really, whether the wells can be dug or not, they will have to be filled.
"Ancestor of the Tian family, your courtyard is big enough, our brother will forget it, open this well, and make a stone wall on the periphery of the well, and it will be fine. Your front yard was originally going to be a stone wall, isn't it, and the stone will block this well. "With such a big compound, there is at least four or five acres of land! The stone wall of this courtyard gate must be done, isn't it?
"Is there a way around this?" Neither the great-grandfather nor the old ancestor wanted to open three boreholes at home.
"Either fill in those two wells, or open them and try your luck." Second Uncle Zhang said solemnly.
"If you don't think about opening this well, we will not charge a penny for opening and filling the well, and it is our brother's responsibility to open such a well, and we can't let you break the bill anymore." Uncle Zhang also said solemnly.
"Then let's go! You two see when it's right! The Great Ancestor and the Old Ancestor looked at each other and said.
"We have counted this day, and it is the sixteenth of this month. After a while we removed the altar and went back to prepare, and in the afternoon of the fifteenth our brother came. Seeing that the great-ancestor was relieved, the Zhang brothers hurriedly replied.
"Okay, that's it." Since it has been decided to open, there is nothing more to say.
After the Zhang brothers cleaned up the two wells inside and out, they worshiped again, and then withdrew the altar and left.
As soon as the Zhang brothers left, the east corner house and the west corner house were locked by the great-grandfather and the old ancestor. He said that he would wait until the well was opened before opening the door and using it.
After locking the corner house, the faces of the great-grandfather and the ancestor were not very good-looking, and in order to divert the attention of the great-grandfather and the ancestor, the girl asked the great-grandfather and the ancestor to take her to the field to have a look.
The great-grandfather and the old ancestor were so entangled that they had no choice but to take the girl to the fields.
"Great ancestor, old ancestor, do we have a total of 300 acres of land in this courtyard?" At the beginning, the great-grandfather seemed to tell sΓΉ that he was from 300 acres of land. But how do you look at it, why do you feel wrong!
"It's 200 acres of dry land and 100 acres of waterland." Great-grandfather said to Niu with a smile.
"Isn't it three hundred acres together?" What does that mean? Dry land, water land?
"Our compound adds up to more than 1,000 acres of land!" Old Ancestor also smiled at this moment.
"Ah, so many! I thought it was 300 acres! "What's the matter, isn't there 300 acres on this land deed?
"The land here is relatively scattered, and the walls are not easy to build, so I discussed with the patriarch and the village chief, and drew the useless wasteland, swamps, river beaches, barren forests, and small hills near here, including this river and this pond, into the deed diagram, including the small Qinglin Mountain you wanted at the beginning, which is also in it." No way! Six hundred taels of silver, bought nearly 1,000 acres of land.
Although, a lot of it is useless wasteland or something, but it's too cost-effective!
It is no wonder that in the early years of the 21st century, it was said that where there is wasteland, whoever opens the right to use it belongs to him. It was the same in ancient times!!
"Girl, do you think that the courtyard wall of 300 acres of land can be built by the people of Tianjia Village, and it took more than three months to build it!" Zeng Zu smiled and touched Niu's head and said.
Also, if there were only 300 acres of land, it shouldn't take more than three months!
"Let's go, great-grandfather and old ancestor Niu'er go and see what will be planted in this land in the coming year!" The ancestor thought that the girl was small, and when they left, they directly picked up the girl.
"Great ancestor, old ancestor, in the coming year, all the herbs in this place, okay?" You can't make a lot of money even if you grow this grain, do you?
"Plant herbs, that girl said, what herbs to plant!" This herb is worth more than grain!
"I bought a lot of herbal seeds from the seed shop owner! It's all in the house. "It's all seeds that have fallen out, and there are some seeds that don't exist at all in this era.
"Oh, yes! I'll go back in a while, and let the great-ancestor and the old ancestor take a look, okay? "This girl, it turned out to be ready in the morning! It's a big deal for our children!
"Well, okay, I'll give it to my great-ancestor and ancestor when I go back." Fortunately, it was bagged in advance.
"Great Ancestor, Old Ancestor, what kind of place is this? How can it be so strange? Niu asked, looking at the large area of the potholes that had been dug.
"It's a pond, and when it's summer, there's water." The ancestor looked at the big pit that had been dug by the villagers to make the foundation.
"Great Ancestor, Old Ancestor, can you find someone to dig this big pit! Dig into a big pond, let's raise fish in the coming year! "It's a waste to put such a big pit like this.
If you don't deal with it, it's useless.
"This idea is good, Great-Ancestor Ming'er will arrange it." Yes, wouldn't it be just right to dig this pit into a pond and raise fish! I didn't think of it!
"Also, great-grandfather, ancestor, this field also has to repair the canal, so it will be bad if it rains heavily next year." When Niu passed by the dry land just now, she found that there was no canal to repair. Even if it is repaired, it is a very small one. This is not conducive to drainage.
"We rarely rain heavily, and this small canal is enough." Great-ancestor thought, after all these years, it has never rained too much, it's okay.
"Great-grandfather, it's not right not to build a canal before it rains heavily! In the event of heavy rain, this year's harvest will be gone! "It's called planning for a rainy day, great-grandfather!
"Great Ancestor, Old Ancestor, let's not only cultivate. Moreover, it is to be built wide and deep, all the way to this great pond that will be dug into a great fish pond, or into a great river that leads to the river beach. In this way, when it rains, we can store water, and when it is dry, we can have water! "It's nice to have a cistern!
"This girl thinks a lot." The old ancestor was happy.
Ancestor, it's not a matter of thinking about it, no matter what era it is, this flood and drought prevention is very important, okay!
"Great Ancestor, Old Ancestor, and oh, we also have to lead the water from the big river beach to the big fish pond!" The terrain of the big river in this big beach is high, and it is very convenient to bring water over, as long as you dig a small river.
"Got it, listen to the girl." It's just a little bit of labor, and it's all possible. Besides, Niu'er is also right when she says this, not afraid of 10,000, just afraid in case not.
Great-grandfather is unconditionally obedient to the chick no matter what time it is.
Who made the great-ancestor believe in Niu'er's story!
The ancestor hugged the girl, and then went to the barren forest to take a look. It's almost time for dinner, so I go home and get ready to eat.
After eating lunch and resting for a while, Niu walked around into Daqinglin Mountain by herself.
There is no silver ticket on this body, and my heart is always unsteady, after the girl entered the mountain, she found a back corner place where no one went, and moved a lot of ginseng from the space.
imitated what he did when he first met Leng Yemo.
When I went back in the evening, in addition to green onions, ginger and garlic, there were a few more ginseng plants in the back basket.
"Niu'er, you found this divine grass (ginseng) in Daqingshan." When the great-grandfather took the small basket, he recognized the ginseng in the basket at a glance.
"Well, there are a few more in the mountains!" Haha, the great-grandfather knew ginseng, so I don't have to worry about how to explain it.
"Is there really better?" This ginseng is hard to find, and it's such a big ginseng.
"Yes, great-grandfather, what a big piece! Great Ancestor, is this divine grass a good thing? "Of course it's a good thing! I don't know how many years of ginseng this is!
"This is worth a lot of silver, so Ming'er's great-ancestor and ancestor will go into the mountain with you." This girl doesn't usually speak.
"Well, yes, great-grandfather." I'm waiting for your words, great-grandfather.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the great-grandfather, the old ancestor and the grandfather each carried a basket and went into the mountain with the girl.
This will be because the grandfather dislikes Niu'er for walking slowly, and directly puts Niu'er into the back basket, and carries it into the mountain.
There is no need for Niu Er to lead the way, a few little guys who went into the mountains with Niu yesterday are running in the head and having a good time!
While everyone was walking and chatting, a few little guys leading the way in front of them stopped.
Great-grandfather, grandfather, grandfather, when I looked up, I saw a piece of green grass with red fruits, growing vigorously!
"Girl, this is it, right?" Grandpa put down the basket and asked the girl.
"Well, this is it." With such a piece, did you move too much?
"Old five, Cheng Cheng, let's do it!" Great-grandfather's voice trembled a little when he spoke, was this exciting?
"Great-grandfather, grandfather, grandfather, this is the water I brought to you." Niu divided the three bamboo tubes prepared in the bamboo basket and the bamboo tubes filled with spiritual water to the great-ancestors.
"Great ancestor, old ancestor, grandfather, you dig the divine grass, I'll go over there to see if there is any ginger!" It's so hard to dig up, I'd better go and come back later!
"Well, girl, be careful!" Niu saw Lao Zu take out a handful of red threads from his arms, so many red threads, do you want to tie ginseng for everyone?
Actually, you don't have to! They won't run! β¦β¦
Niu didn't care about how the great-grandfather could dig ginseng, and ran to play by herself.
The girl doesn't care about it when she wanders around like this, and she gives it a good thing, what?
Chestnut, look at the prickly balls that have fallen all over the place, and all of them have cracked their mouths. (To be continued.) )
