Chapter 108: This Woman Is Not Simple

This time, she didn't hire anyone, so she took her mother-in-law to turn over the ground, sprinkled chicken dung and cow dung, sprinkled a layer of wheat stalks on it, and began to burn.

When the work is done, plough the land again, sprinkle it with water and raise it.

At this time, it is time to drive the stake.

She instructed the cattle shopkeeper to order a lot of wood from the carpenter's shop, all of which were of about the same thickness, and had not been processed, but were cut directly, and the solid wood with the forks of the tree was cut.

After buying it, the bottom is sharpened, surrounded by five acres of land, and rammed into the soil in a regular manner.

She divided the land into ten pieces and five pieces of land, and the greenhouse was too big to build, and the snow and wind here were strong in winter, so she could only make five points of land.

After Mr. Wang finished teaching, he would come to the back field to wander around when he was idle, and he was very curious to see her operation.

"Girl, what are you doing here?"

"Build a warm shed, just like the warm shed of your big family, but don't burn the cage underground."

"What are you going to do?"

"Grow vegetables."

"Is it really yours that doesn't cost much?"

"The price of food is still high."

"That's right, scarcity is expensive."

"I sold vegetables from other places last year, and sold them for one or two silver a pound during the Chinese New Year, and more people bought them, and good goods are not afraid of high prices, if you grow them yourself, you can earn more."

"Haha, so my old man has a good mouth in the winter?"

"It's a must, I grow vegetables to sell, and I grow vegetables for my own convenience."

"The top button in our Wang's greenhouse is glass, can you get it?"

"I don't need that, it's weird and troublesome to dismantle, I made my own Ming cloth, the sunlight can penetrate it, and the vegetables inside grow like that."

"Yo, what a skill, the old man is looking forward to it."

"Don't worry, when I finish planting, your old man is idle, just come in and pick vegetables."

After the Yuan family finished class, they came to help in the afternoon, and the children couldn't help and watched from the ground, and rushed up if they needed a hand.

After setting up all the stakes, she began to make the Ming cloth.

The yard was cleaned, and all the obstacles on the ground were removed, and a large iron pot was set up in one corner, and wood was burned underneath.

Buckets of milky white glue poured in, this is a hard work, and the Yuan family volunteered to come forward to boil the glue.

At first, it was okay, but then as the glue became thicker and thicker, the agitation became more and more vigorous.

Qiao Shi saw that he was struggling, so he replaced the glue with him, and looked like it was almost over, she took a small spoonful of glue, poured it on the cloth and tried it, and then removed the fire and began to spread the glue.

She uses a smooth scraper to scrape the glue evenly on a flat white cloth.

Mr. Wang sat on the side and watched with interest, he really admired Mrs. Qiao, and his eyes were full of admiration.

A woman is petite, soft and weak, and always does things that are more harmful than men, this woman is not simple.

He was very glad that he had come to this house as a gentleman in the first place, although he was not shackled, but whether it was material or spiritual, he got many times higher than shackles.

Yuan Jiaqi is the same, looking at Qiao Mai's eyes are fiery.

Seeing that she was a little tired, he took over the work in her hands and tried to do it, and under her guidance, the scraping glue became more and more even.

As soon as the cloth was cooled after scraping, the two wives took needles and threads to tie the cloth together.

She tore the cloth beforehand, and five points of land were 300 square meters, that is, 112 meters wide and about 212 meters long.

This white cloth is two feet seven wide and ten meters long, and two feet seven is about one meter, and thirteen pieces of cloth need to be joined together in five parts, and two cloths are needed on each side.

They can only make a piece of plain cloth a day, and once the glue on the cloth is cold, several mothers-in-law begin to sew and stitch.

Then, taking advantage of the silence of the day, he went to the ground and firmly fixed the cloth on the stake.

In the middle, a door of one meter and five widths and a height of two meters is used to hang cotton curtains to pass back and forth, and the straw curtains on it have already been booked with the tenant farmers at home.

There is a rope on the straw curtain, which is rolled up during the day when it is warm and lowered when it is cold at night.

This busy day is more than ten days, and by mid-October, the greenhouse of five acres of land has been fully built.

At this time, the land was also maintained, and I began to order vegetable seeds.

First of all, leeks are preferred, and people here like to use leeks to wrap dumplings and scrambled eggs, which is a dish to accompany meals.

Then there are garlic sprouts, fried bacon, scrambled eggs, and some soup is delicious.

Then there are braised eggplant, garlic eggplant, cucumber, cucumber dipping sauce, long beans in sesame sauce, vegetarian roasted water spinach, lily celery, shredded cabbage, scrambled eggs with red pestle, and stir-fried meat with green chili.

It's all good dishes to eat, and it's what she loves to eat, so let's plant these ten dishes.

After this is done, the acquisition begins.

There are two idle yards in the house, and there are many empty houses, all of which have to be used.

Stock up on white lotus roots, cabbage, white radish, carrots, hawthorns, chestnuts, and pestles, too, and a lot.

The pestle is to be purchased while the pestle cake is dried.

Fortunately, there are many people at home, and the harvest can't catch up with the dried ones, which reduces Qiao Mai's pressure a lot.

There are also peanuts, melon seeds, and mountain goods in the mountains, all of which must be stocked up.

During the harvest season, the prices are not high.

This period can make her busy enough, she has no time to enter the space during the day, let alone do embroidery work, and at night she wants to sleep.

Seeing that Ruxin's big day is coming, she, as a master, naturally can't forget it.

I sent the cow shopkeeper early to buy all the wedding utensils, just waiting for the first day of the day to arrange it.

The shopkeeper of the wedding dress Lu also took it back and put it in the house for Ruxin.

The Feng family's thirty dowry, plus the fifty dowry purchased by the Lu shopkeeper, is a total of eighty dowry, which is the only one in the county.

Not to mention, Lu Sanniang also secretly bought two shops for her daughter in the county seat and gave 2,000 taels of silver.

In order to make her daughter's waist hard in the Feng family, the shopkeeper Lu also bought her a grandmother and two girls who were close to her.

This grandmother is from a big family, she knows how to be polite and has eyes, and she teaches her by Ruxin's side, saving her from being soft-hearted, and when others say that she is obedient, her dowry is cheated away.

The Qiao family held a happy event for the first time, it was very grand, and the mayor was invited a few days ago, Qiao Mai did not give Wang Zongsheng a post, his identity was not suitable for coming, he was his home field as soon as he came, she didn't want to become the attention of the whole town and the county, so the post was only given to Wang Jiaru.

The afternoon of the first day, she took her younger brother to live in Qiao's house.

also gave a congratulatory gift like a core, a pair of gold bracelets, this gift made the shopkeeper Lu feel very bright on his face.

Early the next morning, Mayor Qian arrived with two guards and gave a gift box to Lu Sanniang.

Then came the sisters of the shopkeeper Lu in the county, there were five or six people, all wearing satin clothes, followed by two waiting girls, very magnificent, and the gift was directly given to Lu Sanniang.

Some of the people in the town who were familiar with her also came, including the owner of the carpenter's shop and the owner of Jingtai Building.

In the end, Lu Sanniang's maiden family arrived, and this was the first time Qiao Mai saw her maiden family.

Her fathers, Mr. Lu and Lu Guo, are fifty years old, very well maintained, and rarely work in the field at first glance.

Her eldest brother Lu Haoran is dressed in a robe, and he is very tired of books, and now he is running a private school at home, and her sister-in-law Lu Qishi is slightly chubby and looks average, but she looks very shrewd and neat, and she is not mean.

Brought a son and a daughter, all married, their spouses in their arms, holding in their hands, and the ones who brought their families and mouths came.

Only the mother of the shopkeeper Lu gave her daughter a red cloth bag.

There weren't many guests today, so there was no table, and all the congratulatory gifts were handed over to Lu Sanniang.

Unexpectedly, the mayor of Tianhe Town actually heard Xin'er come with a courtesy.
