Chapter 59: Layout

The person standing outside the door was the Li family who came last time, and Ling Feng opened the door last time, so he had an impression of this person.

Behind Li stood a domestic servant with a large package in his arms.

"Is Miss Zhao at home?" Lee asked.

"Auntie, come in, we're about to have dinner, let's eat together." I don't know when Zhao Qianqian came over.

Li Shi hurriedly said: "I brought some beef from the village, I can't eat so much, I will send you some, I have already eaten, since you are eating, then I will not bother."

After Li finished speaking, the servant walked up to Ling Feng with the package and handed it to him.

Ling Feng looked at Zhao Qianqian, and when he saw her nodding, he took the beef.

It was a little heavy, Ling Feng almost didn't catch it, Zhao Qianqian hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, Ling Feng stabilized and didn't fall, and carried the beef into the stove house.

Li Shi took a look inside, and saw Qing Yao and Zhao Yu obediently holding chopsticks, staring at the dishes on the table, Li Shi had a touch of kindness in his eyes, and he looked a little distracted.

"Madame!" The servant behind him noticed that his master was a little out of shape, and let out a low scream.

Li came back to his senses and left.

Zhao Qianqian took out the things prepared in the afternoon: "This is what we made ourselves, aunt try it, if you eat it well, I will bring you some back in two days."

Li Shi hurriedly said: "Eat well, you are busy during the day, and you are not at home when I come, so I will take everyone over to sit when I have time."

Zhao Qianqian said: "In a few days, I'll bring them over, don't think we're annoying then."

After Li left, everyone couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and today was everyone's favorite dish.

With Fanchen's words, Shen Junchen doesn't have to drink with the old man, he doesn't like to drink, but every time he comes here, the old man pulls him to drink under the pretext of accompanying guests.

The children are very well-behaved when eating and never let people worry about it. Xiao Chaoyang whispered to Zhao Guo once, and the two glanced at Shen Junchen a few times, and there was no other abnormality.

Xiao Chaoyang put her own dishes and chopsticks in the stove house, which is a habit developed by her master, and she does her own things, except for taking a bath.

The other three saw that Xiao Chaoyang had put the dishes and chopsticks and came out, and swept away the rice in the bowl in three or two times, and also took the bowl to the stove house.

Four children go to the yard to hide and seek.

Dad asked, "Who is this Li Niang, and why do you call her aunt?"

Zhao Qianqian thought about it and felt that the identity of the Li family should be known to everyone, although the Li family looked gentle and virtuous on the surface, some people pretended to be deep and couldn't notice it for a while.

"She is the wife of the bandit leader Wang Biao." As soon as Zhao Qianqian's words came out, Ling Feng and several people were stunned, only Shen Junchen and the old man looked as usual, and those who had seen strong winds and waves were always unfazed.

Fan Chen came back to his senses: "Shallow, since this Li family is the bandit lady? How did you get involved with him and still recognize him as an aunt?"

「...... That's what happened, in short, this Li family tried not to offend, and don't get too close to her, she lives next door." Zhao Qianqian only said that he met the Li family in Qingliang Temple, and he didn't have to go to the cottage later.

Cheng Shuang said, "In this way, the Li family is here for Zhao Yu and Qing Yao, so will they come to rob people?"

Zhao Qianqian said: "This is not possible, Zhao Yu and Qing Yao are very afraid of her, it can be seen that the Li family is very distressed about these two children, and does not want them to be harmed, I heard that Wang Biao loves the Li family very much, and everything depends on her, besides, just the birthmark on the hand cannot be completely sure that they are her children."

..

After dinner, the old man took Shen Junchen to his house to play chess: "If you don't drink with me, you can't help but play this chess with me, right?"

Zhao Qianqian said, "Grandpa, we still have something to talk about, can Lord Shen come and play chess with you after we finish talking?"

Since it is a good granddaughter who has something to talk about, it is a big deal.

The old man got up: "Okay, remember to come and play chess with me in a while!" After speaking, he walked out of the hall.

Fan Chen answered: "Don't worry, come after talking!" , the old man glanced at him: "The chess skills are so bad, put."

I'm getting my grades down!"

Soon the dishes and chopsticks on the table were cleaned up, and Chengshuang made a pot of tea and poured a cup for everyone.

Zhao Qianqian took out four drawings and handed them to everyone.

The four drawings are a map of the crops grown in the four mountains, and a map of the cultivation of the river from southeast to northeast.

The maps detail the crops planted on the edges of each field, how the terraces were built, and the distance between the planting area and the riverbank.

On the two drawings, the crops planted in Xishan and Beishan are basically the same, rice and wheat are planted at the foot of the mountain, and rapeseed and corn sorghum are planted in the sloped areas, but the difference is that cotton, ginseng, angelica, and astragalus are planted in Xishan, while Beishan does not.

The planting season and harvest season of each crop, drying and storage, etc., are marked, and the seeds on the mountain can be harvested and stored with the drawings.

With this drawing, Zhao Qianqian can be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he can still gain a lot.

Ling Feng pointed to the picture and asked, "Sister, does this one called rice need a lot of water to irrigate?" I see they are all planted in the terraces at the foot of the mountain."

Zhao Qianqian explained: "You see that there is a small print here that this rice needs to grow in water from the beginning of seedling cultivation to maturity, and only ten days before harvest, the water in the field is put out to dry."

Only then did Ling Feng notice that there are seeds behind each crop, and the seasons and methods of harvesting, drying, and storage are concise and clear, and you can understand it at a glance.

Chengshuang asked, "Isn't that going to carry water every day?"

Zhao Qianqian pointed to the drawings: "Oh, you see that these terraces are not there, the land where rice is planted is made like that to be able to hold water, and these ditches are to divert water from the river to the fields for irrigation, without manual water."

Ling Fengruo was a little puzzled: "Peas and broad beans are planted on the side of the wheat, and soybeans are planted on the side of the rice, why not plant the whole area?"

The crowd wondered, "Yes, it's more convenient to plant and harvest in patches."

"These kinds of crops require good ventilation, and this planting method can greatly improve the yield of crops," Zhao said.

Shen Junchen said: "You don't understand, if you say so, you have her own reason, you just do it."

A few people nodded.

Fan Chen said: "I haven't been to Beishan, but at the foot of the West Mountain, all rice is planted, and it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 acres of land, which requires a lot of labor, are you sure that the current personnel can grow it?"

Everyone nodded and looked at Zhao Qianqian.

Zhao Qianqian also thought about this problem, with the current manpower, it is indeed a little difficult, there is no mechanization, all rely on manual ploughing and farming, and the efficiency is low.

Shen Junchen said: "Gather the villagers in this vicinity and follow everyone to do it, it is better than planting them themselves and harvesting them, I believe they are also willing."

Everyone felt that this method was feasible and unanimously agreed to let Ye Qianfan deal with this matter.

Zhao Qianqian said: "While ploughing the ground, dig out the ditch together according to the position above, first level the ground, and after planting the wheat, then repair the ridge and ditch."

Ling Feng's eyes lit up: "Sister, is Beishan as big as Xishan? If we plant them all, won't we have to buy grain next year?"

"Well, Beishan is bigger than Xishan, and the planting area is more, so we can plant it all together, and next year we will not only not have to buy it, but we will also be able to store grain, and if the harvest is good, we can sell some of it."

It is very exciting to be able to store grain, harvest well and sell a lot of grain.

More than a month ago, it was still a family with four walls, but now with more than 200 people, you can eat white-flour steamed buns.

When I heard that there would be endless rice next year, everyone in the house applauded.

Ling Feng said excitedly, "I'll tell you the good news tomorrow, everyone will be more energetic in their work, and maybe they will be able to complete it faster."

This thief captures the king first, and collects people first, Ling Feng knows how to manage.

"And how do you raise this fish? It's going to be swept away by the river." Fanchen asked.

The location of this fish farming is a pool formed after the impact of the river, where the fluidity of the water is not large, but it is all live water, and we can make a net block later

In order to.

Zhao Qianqian handed Fan Chen a piece of paper, which was the method of raising fish: "You arrange for two people to collect fish fingerlings, buy all the live fish on the market, and raise them in a circle in the shallow water area of the Nanmen River, and next April and May will be the season for fish spawning, and we will have a lot of fish to sell in the future."

Ling Feng looked at the stack of papers with pictures and words in Zhao Qianqian's hand: "Sister, what else do you have in your hand that we need to arrange?"

Zhao Qianqian took out one by one to show them, there were rattan chairs weaving, tables and chairs, small benches, windmills, blowers and keel waterwheels.

When everyone heard the name of "Keel Waterwheel", it was strange and fresh, and they were very interested.

Zhao Qianqian said: "The keel waterwheel is also called the keel waterwheel, because its shape is like a keel, it is also called the keel waterwheel."

Zhao Qianqian pointed to the picture and collected the text to explain: "You see, the operation of this keel waterwheel is very simple, with a cow pulling and turning, the water can be moved to a relatively high place, and a large area of land can be watered in a day."

When everyone heard her say this, they were all dumbfounded.

Then he said to Fan Chen: "You go to the shopkeeper Zeng tomorrow and ask him to arrange to make a few keel waterwheels to come out, the wheat we are planting now has not been watered, if there is rain in the later stage, you can not water, if it does not rain, you need to water."

Fan Chen reached out and touched Zhao Qianqian's head: "What are you in this head?" How do you know so much?"

Shen Junchen slapped his hand away: "It's obviously different from what you pretended."

Zhao Qianqian arranged these materials for Fanchen, Chengshuang, and Ling Feng respectively, and as for Ye Qianfan, he concentrated on going to the academy to study, and the affairs in the camp were divided among others.

"How has Qin Feng been doing recently?" There were only a limited number of helpers available in the camp, and Zhao Qianqian suddenly thought of Qin Feng.

Ling Feng said, "Recently, he has changed sexually, but he eats hard and not soft, so it's better to be careful."

Zhao Qianqian said: "Since he has changed, let him take care of the security in the camp, and you can also find time to do other things."

There was a strong wind blowing outside, and it felt a little colder all of a sudden.

Zhao Qianqian said to Fan Chen: "The matter of the quilt, you have to hurry up, the weather is getting colder and colder, if you really can't get out, you need to buy it, then our silver is not enough."

"I found five in the afternoon, I saw that they played cotton is also simple, and the tool making is not complicated, tomorrow I will do a few more, arrange more people, and try to send them to everyone within ten days."

"Okay, if you can't be busy, ask Chengshuang to help, she can help arrange the quilt cover."

Ye Qianfan yawned: "Sister, it's none of my business, I'll just go to read?"

"Well, go ahead!" Zhao Qianqian nodded.

Ye Qianfan got up and walked towards the courtyard, and Shen Junchen followed him to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Shen Junchen called Ye Qianfan: "Qianfan."

"Brother Junchen is looking for my personnel?"

Since Zhao Qianqian didn't return overnight and rode back with Shen Junjun, his family no longer called him Lord Shen, which seemed very angry.

"Do you really want to go to the barracks?"

"Well, but I don't have any skills right now, I want to go to the academy to study first, and then go to the barracks later."

"From tomorrow onwards, then, you will practice an hour's horse step every day to practice your eyesight...... These are the basics."

After that, he said, "Come out."

Ye Qianfan was stunned: "Brother Junchen, who did you call out?"

Before the words fell, a dark shadow flew from the Westinghouse and landed in front of the two.
