Chapter 1024: The Lazy and Corrupt Sister-in-law of the Farmer's Lucky Girl (20)
Fortunately, Cui Dazhuang just made a joke, and after his daughter-in-law twisted his ear, he left it behind, and what made him talk about it even more at this moment was the rice yield per mu of Meng Jin's family.
"Meng Jin's two acres of rice are worth the output of my family's three acres of fields, and this mu yield is probably broken four stones!"
This news, like a pair of wings, spread throughout Dawa Village in just one lunch.
When Cui heard about it, he almost broke his job.
"It's true? How is this possible! ”
She snorted, her face full of disbelief.
Cui Qiaoqiao frowned, she couldn't believe it, she always felt impossible.
If you are not diligent in farming, can you have a good harvest?
So, has that woman really become diligent?
However, in her previous life, she was sold early by that woman to the Wang family as a child daughter-in-law, and she never had a chance to go back to her parents' house until she died.
I only vaguely heard that the eldest brother injured his leg in the service, and the woman thought he had become a burden, so she ran away with the family's money; The second brother became the inverted son-in-law of the shopkeeper of the paper shop in the town, and she didn't hear about the separation until she died.
Could it be that in this life, as soon as she was reborn, she insisted on splitting up the family and drove that woman out of Lao Cui's house, but forced her to become diligent?
Whatever the reason, she wouldn't trust that woman anymore anyway.
"Mother, isn't it just four stones, it's one stone more than in previous years, this year's year is good, what's all the fuss. Anyway, I won't come to her for advice. ”
She now has money in her hands, and she has money to sell mountain delicacies, game, and medicinal herbs, not to mention a stone of grain, she can afford one hundred and eighty stones!
The hatred in her previous life, she will never forget it, and that woman in this life should be glad that she didn't sell her mind, otherwise she will definitely make her look good!
……
On the contrary, Xu Yin has been in a good mood recently.
Her comrade Xiao Jin is too diligent, and she cleans up the house clean and tidy with crutches.
When she came back from the fields, she had herbal tea to drink and ready-made food to eat; She went to the dry land to harvest rapeseed, and he sat under the eaves with a stone mill rod to thresh the dried rice.
By the time she got home, everything was ready.
As soon as she returned, she started the meal, and the wash basin and face towel were ready.
Xu Yin took the towel from the cool well and wiped her face, and sighed comfortably: Comrade Xiao Jin in this life is very much like Mr. Tianluo.
The rapeseed is beaten down and dried, and they are waiting to line up to go to the oil mill to extract oil.
However, Dawa Village does not have its own oil mill, and the set of equipment seems to be simple, and it costs a lot of silver taels to buy it, and everyone is carrying rapeseed oil to the town's oil mill to queue up for oil extraction.
Xu Yin wanted to go with the people in the village, mainly because she wanted to recognize the door of the oil mill.
"It's better to wait for my leg to heal, I'll go, there is still enough oil at home." Cui Mengjin felt sorry for her mother and didn't let her run to the town alone with a wheelbarrow.
Xu Yin pointed to the hall: "There is almost no place to pile up." ”
There is only one thatched house in the house, and a bamboo curtain is hung to become a bedroom and a living room, there is no warehouse, and the grain can only be piled up in the hall after it is harvested, and there is almost no ground under the feet.
Rapeseed is pressed into oil, which saves a little space.
However, she plans to bring back the rapeseed cake crumbs after oil extraction, and even wants to ask a few familiar companies to buy their crumbs.
Those families have a lot of land, and they plant a lot of rape, all of which start from two acres, and the cake residue squeezed down is afraid that there are several sacks, and there is still no place to put it back, but don't want it, and feel distressed, rapeseed cake residue is a good pig fertilizer feed!
"Ah Jin, it looks like we have to build a house. How about starting work when your leg is healed? ”
She did the math and found that it didn't cost much to build three adobe houses.
It's not that you don't want to live in a brick house, but you can follow the customs, there is no one living in a brick house in the whole Dawa Village, the house conditions of the Lizheng family are the best, and it is also an adobe house, the house of the elders seems to be a stone block, yellow mud on both sides of the mud house, at most the roof is not thatched but tiles.
She plans to build a house like the Rimasa family.
There are many rivers and lakes in Dawa Village, and the mud in some sections is reddish-brown, which is super suitable for making adobe.
The wood is cut on the mountain at will, so the adobe and wood do not cost money, so the tiles need to be bought with money.
But if you build a brick house, not only will the tiles cost money, but the green bricks of three rooms will probably cost dozens of taels, and she now has less than a hundred taels of silver on the surface, so don't be so generous yet.
However, she planned to find a time to find Lizheng and approve the homestead in front of the yard.
Homesteads are not expensive, much cheaper than fertile land and dry land, after all, they can only be used to build houses.
Hurry up and have plenty of money, build a brand new brick house directly in front, and keep the adobe house as a warehouse, surrounded by a wall, won't it become an independent compound?
If you are more wealthy, you can buy the wild lake pond in front of you, raise fish and shrimp, plant lotus roots, and plant lotus flowers.
However, it is still too early to achieve these goals, and it is practical to build adobe houses and improve the cramped living environment.
The lady insisted on squeezing oil, and she didn't allow him to follow, Cui Mengjin could only obey, who made him an injury!
The injured are not qualified to negotiate conditions.
But he was not idle, and since he had to build a house, he should build the adobe as soon as possible.
So, when Xu Yin went out, he sat in the backyard and knocked the soil lumps, chopped the straw, knocked the soil lumps into powder, chopped the straw into pieces, and then cleaned up the wild boar hair swept out of the pigsty for easy stirring.
Xu Yin pushed the wheelbarrow to the entrance of the village and joined the dog.
The dog dan dad walked in front with two baskets of rapeseed and other men, and the dog dan niang walked next to Xu Yin with the eggs and embroidered handkerchiefs that he brought to the town to change oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
It takes more than half an hour to walk from the village to the town, and of course I chatter as I walk.
Xu Yin learned from the conversation of the women that the oil yield of the oil mill in the town is very low, Rao is an oil crop like rapeseed, and one mu of land can harvest almost 200 catties of rapeseed, and the final squeezed rapeseed can have 40 catties.
If you want to take back the leftover cake crumbs, the oil mill will take five catties of oil as a processing fee, and it would be good to get thirty-five catties in the end.
No one in Dawa Village raised pigs, one is that the pig seedlings are expensive, and the other is that some people have raised them before, but the pigs did not raise until the New Year, and they died of diarrhea.
The investment is high, the risk is high, and unlike chickens and ducks, they can usually lay eggs, and they are willing to raise pigs only when they are full, not to mention that they are not full.
Like this year, the overall wind and rain are still smooth, and after the busy farming, many families will eat a few full meals to recuperate. If there is a disaster year, the grass roots and bark will be robbed, and raising pigs is equivalent to grabbing food from others, so naturally they will not be willing to raise it.
However, even if someone raises pigs, they don't know that rapeseed cake can be fed to pigs, and they feel that it is useless to take it back. It is better to leave it as a processing fee for the oil mill, which can also save a few catties of oil.
