Chapter 82: Still Hiring People?
"See? The Xie family is not simple! They're all going to raise seedlings, so what's wrong?" Qi Baojiang slapped the table: "Even if it's really wrong, isn't it just a year's worth of harvest?" It's not that I can't afford to lose!"
"Look at your little belly! I don't know who I'm with!"
The three sons were scolded like quails, and they didn't dare to say a word, and several daughters-in-law also lowered their heads, completely losing the courage to think about it just now.
Qi Baojiang saw it, and his heart was even more angry: "Look at the four people! Within three days of getting married, he dared to come forward for the Xie family and bargain with me! As for you, you're just stirring up trouble in the nest! It's a lot of trouble at home, and you have candy to eat?"
"The brain is a good thing, but you also need to use ideas, can you think about more serious things and earn more money for your family? If I have a lot of money, can I still lose you?"
Several sons and daughters-in-law nodded again and again: "Tomorrow, we will start planting seedlings."
Qi Baojiang is satisfied, no matter how much they listen, as long as they do it well!
There were suddenly a lot of craftsmen around the house, and Qi Lele didn't even notice the movement, which was really amazing.
"Now they're all in the vineyard and the watermelon field, so you can't hear any movement."
"Huh? Didn't you say that a new yard should be built at the same time?"
Xie Zi'an said, "Originally, it was like this, but this is not the shower and toilet proposed by Madame?"
"It turned out to be my pot."
"Your pot?"
Qi Lele laughed, "One of the things I heard is my mistake."
Xie Zi'an nodded, and asked again, "Do you want to be a pancreas today?"
"No, the cottonseed has been dried for a few days, it's almost ready, and the rice seeds are about to start processing." Qi Lele said: "Besides, I haven't figured out the formula yet, let's finish the spring sowing first."
"It's fine."
After breakfast, Qi Lele went to Wang Yuzhong's backyard, looked at the cottonseeds carefully, and felt that he could start soaking seeds.
"How do I soak the seeds?"
"Soaking seeds is very simple, soak them in cold water for a day and a night, then take them out to dry, and when the seed hairs turn white, mix them with plant ash, and then plant them in the seedling field," Qi Lele said.
Chang Qingyun was worried about raising seedlings, and he didn't go to the field today, he originally planned to dry the rice seeds, but he ran into cottonseed soaking, and he was about to take an errand right away.
Qi Lele also thought about pouring more spring water into the clear water, where could Chang Qingyun come.
"I'll do it anyway, and I can pick another cottonseed by the way."
"The young lady will do what she orders, and I will pick cottonseeds."
Xie Zi'an coughed lightly.
Chang Qingyun's back stiffened, and he said, "I remembered, I also asked Brother Baojiang to see the seedling field today, young lady, you are busy, I will go first."
Qi Lele nodded briskly: "Go, the seedling field should choose a place with sufficient water sources, not too far from the paddy field."
Chang Qingyun responded and strode away.
Aunt Wang looked at his back and fled, smiled secretly, and found an excuse to leave.
There was a well in the backyard, and before Qi Lele could speak, Xie Zi'an had already walked over and fetched a bucket of water.
Qi Lele even wanted to take him away: "Aren't you going to the craftsman to take a look?"
Xie Zi'an glanced at her twice and said, "I was about to go over, I wanted to take you to have a look."
"There's been a lot going on lately, so I'm not going."
"It's fine."
Before leaving, looking at the rows of large water tanks in the yard, Xie Zi'an finally advised: "Be careful when fetching water, if you are struggling, call someone to help."
Qi Lele waved his hand: "Got it!"
Waiting for Xie Zi'an to go away, Qi Lele began to scoop water into the big clay jar, scoop a spoonful of well water, and then fill half a spoon of spring water, not because she was stingy, but because she was afraid that if the spring water effect was too good, the cottonseeds would all sprout, which was not easy to explain.
A bucket of water quickly bottomed out, Qi Lele carried the bucket to the well, she didn't know how to fight
Well water, but isn't there a memory of Siya? Just a little fumbling will do.
To be on the safe side, Qi Lele only fetched a small half bucket of water every time, and it took him half a day of hard work to finally fill up all those water tanks.
Aunt Wang got Xie Zi'an's instructions, and only came to the backyard after a long time, and when she saw Qi Lele carrying so much water by herself, she was immediately distressed.
"Why don't you call me? What can I do when I'm tired?"
Qi Lele wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead casually, and said with a smile, "It's just a few buckets of water, and I'm not tired."
Aunt Wang's eyes were sharp, and when she saw that her palms were red, she felt a little more guilty in her heart, and said, "Rest! I'll come later, you name it!"
Qi Lele is actually a little tired, his hands are a little shaky, although this well has a wheel, but as long as he lifts it up, he can't let go, this bucket of buckets is really enough to choke.
"Just put the cottonseed in it and soak it."
Aunt Wang hurriedly said, "I'll come here, you rest!"
Qi Lele moved a low stool and sat next to the water tank, and said with a smile: "Then it's hard for you to move the cottonseeds, I'll pick them up and soak them in the water."
Aunt Wang quickly put away the cotton seeds that were drying on the side with a dustpan and put them at Qi Lele's feet, Qi Lele grabbed the cotton seeds and looked at them, they were not badly sunburned, and they could feel the movement inside when they shook it.
The two worked together to soak the cottonseeds in the water tank.
After getting the cottonseeds, Aunt Wang took out the rice seeds again and spread them out to dry. Because of Qi Lele's request, Wang Yuzhong really bought several different varieties of rice seeds, and Aunt Wang deliberately dried them separately when she dried them.
Qi Lele looked at them one by one, and with her limited experience, she could probably only see that there were indica rice and japonica rice in it, because the grains of indica rice were long and narrow, while the grains of japonica rice were short and thick, which was easier to identify.
Aunt Wang was a little curious: "Are rice seedlings the same as cottonseeds?"
"Actually, the seedlings of most crops are almost the same, they are just dried, soaked, germinated, and then planted," said Qi Lolele.
"How do you prepare the grape seedlings?"
"The grape seedlings are much easier, and you can plant them by soaking them directly."
"The young lady knows so much."
"Why did you call the young lady too?"
Aunt Wang smiled: "It's still appropriate to call the young lady, there are more and more people in the family, can't I mess with the rules because I'm alone, right?"
Qi Lele couldn't think of a reason to refute it, so he had to press it down and not mention it, and turned his head to mention it to Xie Zi'an.
"Aunt Wang is right, let her be, left and right are just a title."
Qi Lele thought about it, but it was also, Aunt Wang wanted to call her as she wanted, as long as she continued to respect her as an elder in her heart.
Just thinking about it, his hands were coldly grasped, and Qi Lele hissed.
"Didn't you say you shouldn't be reckless?"
Qi Lele couldn't help but defend: "I really didn't feel pain at the time, but I found out later that there were blisters, in fact, if you don't pinch it like this, it won't hurt."
In fact, she was not skilled enough and did not master the skills, which caused the palm of her hand to be strangled by hemp rope, and it was only red at first, and she didn't know when she had blisters, she originally planned to pick it off before going to bed, but she didn't expect to be seen by Xie Zi'an.
Xie Zi watched her quietly until her voice became quieter and quieter, and finally she couldn't say any more, and then she got up and took a small box.
Qi Lele took a look at it, and was immediately startled by the dense row of silver shining needles inside.
