245 Qingming
Qingming is approaching, and nearly half of the fields in Luoshan Village have been deeply cultivated.
Of course, this Qingming is not the other Qingming, the days are not fixed, if you want to know, you have to look at the yellow calendar.
This year's Qingming Festival is in late March, that is, it will only take a few tens of days, which is indeed much faster than the seven acres of land in Su Mo at the beginning.
But think about it, not to mention the difference in farm tools, this time the labor time is longer than the previous Su Mo.
As soon as the sun rose, the laborers came to work, had breakfast at the hour, and then began to work, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, rested for three quarters of an hour, and continued to work until the sky was gray, and then went to rest in the place provided by the yamen after dinner.
Su Mo was a little stunned when he heard it, thinking that the time to work would be a little long, which would cause resentment among the people.
But what did the village chief say, he said that he would work in this way, three meals a day were covered, and the food provided was also oil and water, and the wages should be more generous.
Su Mo took the time to look at it once, and it was true, he didn't need to be urged by the servants at any point, he got up and went to the field.
Sure enough, this people are so satisfied, they can eat three meals and get paid, and they are like being beaten with chicken blood.
Su Mo looked at it, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile.
The ancestor worship time in Qingming is not short, the first ten and the last eight, Xie Wenci wants to take his family back to Shangyang Village to worship his ancestors, so naturally he has no way to continue to teach the children.
Therefore, three days before Qingming, the village school released the news of Mu Xiu, and there was a total of ten days off.
Gu Ping'an couldn't be happier, he was bouncing on the way home, and as for the homework assigned by the master, he was completely left behind.
Gu Jinnian is still the same, and his face has always been the same expression, so that people can't see his thoughts.
When Gu Xingnian heard that his brothers didn't have to go to the village school anymore, he stupidly thought that he didn't need to be a girl in school, and he could play with his brothers, and his face smiled.
Su Mo saw through Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian's thoughts at a glance, so when she was having lunch, she looked at Gu Ping'an with a smile and said, "The village school is resting, but you can't be too lax."
I spend at least two hours a day reading books, and the homework assigned by the Master must be completed, and I have to go back and check it in my spare time, and if I find out that you are disobedient, you know the consequences. ”
The smile on Gu Ping'an's face suddenly froze.
Gu Xingnian blinked, covered his mouth with his little hands and snickered, gloating with his eyebrows and eyes.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at her, "You too, still the same as usual, follow me to learn from female red, don't think about playing with your brothers, they are not available." ”
The little girl immediately stopped laughing.
Su Mo is not joking, she has never been a mother, and she doesn't know how to take care of children, but she has the memory of the original owner, how the original owner grew up, so she copied how to take Gu Xingnian.
Of course, she also knows that she has to combine work and rest, so every afternoon she will give them time to play, in short, she will not push too hard, and she will not be too indulgent.
The little girl was not very happy, like a wilted flower, and even ate half a bowl of rice, but when she woke up from a nap, the whole person smiled again, and she couldn't see the depression of the noon meeting at all.
Gu Ping'an didn't stare at it for a while, just like a monkey who was about to go to the sky, holding two wooden axes in the yard.
That's right, the weapon he used was an axe, and Su Mo was speechless.
The picture of Li Kui holding a double-plate axe that I saw when I was a child popped up in my mind popped up, and I always felt weird when I looked at Gu Ping'an.
Gu Jinnian is much more literary and artistic, and the weapon he is comfortable with is a long sword, which is pleasing to the eye.
The little girl also thinks it's funny, and she wants to choose, just choose and choose, either she thinks this is too ugly, or that one is not good-looking.
"Mother, isn't there any colorful, good-looking one?"
Su Mo: "......"
She rubbed her eyebrows, lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Xingnian, who was grabbing her sleeves and being aggrieved, but she was still soft-hearted, and took the time to go to the county seat and find the Li family.
Chen Heyun is now well-known among the merchants in the coastal county, his business is booming, and he is backed by the Changhu Commercial Bank, and he easily entered the chamber of commerce in the coastal county.
It was not convenient for Su Mo to find Chen Heyun, so she found the Li family, of course she didn't say to buy weapons, but planned to buy some strange things for Gu Xingnian, but she didn't want to look for them one by one, so she simply came to the Li family to inquire.
Li thought there was something big, and when he heard Su Mo's words, he quickly thought about it and recommended the Treasure Pavilion on the other side of East Street.
"There are imported products from overseas, but they are more expensive, and they are not easy to take out.
If you have time, you will wait, I will go to change my clothes, and then go with you, the shop is in the name of Changhu Commercial Bank, the shopkeeper has met me a few times, and will give some face. ”
Su Mo frowned slightly, "Won't this be too troublesome?" ”
Li Shi glanced at her with a smile, "How can it be troublesome, speaking of which, I and your brother Chen can have a relationship with Changhu Commercial Bank, thanks to you." ”
Su Mo was slightly stunned, Li Shi looked at it, and hurriedly reminded, "The batch of watermelons you planted last year, the forest manager of Changhu Commercial Bank came to collect them, forgot?" ”
With such a reminder, Su Mo remembered, "I've had too many things in the past year, and I really forgot about it." ”
Li Shi smiled and lowered his voice a little, "Speaking of which, the forest manager of this Changhu Commercial Bank still remembers you, just a few days after your batch of wheat was harvested, he also specially asked about the improvement of saline-alkali land, and said that he wanted to ask if you could buy the wheat that came out of yours."
I didn't hide it, I told him the truth, Steward Lin looked a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything, but asked me to help ask you, what is the difference between the grain grown in this saline-alkali land and the ordinary land.
I listened to him because he wanted to buy the grain grown in this saline land..."
This is a bit of a surprise, Su Mo thought about it, this is actually a way to make money.
After all, there are so many fields in Luoshan Village, and the food grown is naturally inexhaustible, and everyone knows what the saline-alkali land is like.
And she sold the wheat to Xiao Jin before, and Xiao Jin sent the wheat into the capital and dedicated it to the emperor.
If there are people who want to buy the grain grown in Luoshan Village at a low price and release unpleasant rumors, then the villagers of Luoshan Village will not be busy in vain.
After all, for the people, they don't know much, and it is easy for them to listen to the rumors, otherwise it would not happen that the people would buy certain things indiscriminately, or boycott a certain shop.
Su Mo has always planned for the worst in his heart, rather than passively waiting for others to calculate, it is better to plan first.
She is also a member of Luoshan Village, and those fields also have her share, one is prosperous and one is lost, she is not for the sake of those villagers, but for her own interests.
"I don't think there's any difference, but it seems to taste better than usual.
In this way, since Steward Lin has this thought, I still have some wheat there, when the time comes, you can go and pack some and send it to Steward Lin, and say that you will give him a taste.
Then I mentioned on the side, how many fields are there in our village, and after the completion of the project, we will rush to plant a batch of crops..."
Last night it suddenly cooled down, and the rain was endless.
Unfortunately, I caught a cold, my nausea worsened, my stomach was still bloated, my stomach didn't stop growling, I didn't have any appetite, and it was even more uncomfortable to toss like this.
I'll update two chapters today, and I'll make it up tomorrow. (It's still the old saying, see if you can work harder, if you don't achieve it, I don't say it.) )
Love you guys~
