Chapter 218: Busy
During the day, the two were busy transporting ore and avoiding being discovered by the steward, so the two hid and did not have much time to communicate.
It wasn't until the evening, when they got off work, that the two had time to hide together and discuss.
Fang Dayong exchanged the news of his exploration in the mine these days with Lu Fusheng. The two discussed and discussed, and finally found out in despair that there was no way to escape by relying on their own skills with the two of them.
Fang Dayong's heart was full of remorse, and he sighed: "It would be good if Gu Chang was here." Gu Chang is here, we will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and escape safely. ”
Last time, Fang Dayong didn't tell Lu Fusheng's family too much about the valley. When I heard it at this time, I couldn't help but wonder: "Gu Chief? Who is it? ”
Both of them have fallen into the same situation, and they don't know how long they can live, Fang Dayong didn't hide anymore, and said that Lu Shiyan found a valley for them to settle down, and Jiang Tangtang was enlightened by immortals.
Lu Fusheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he almost stood up and beat him again. Such a good place, it's a paradise in troubled times, why didn't he take himself with him last time?
If he had gone to the valley, he would have ended up in the situation he is in now.
The valley that was missed by the two of them was boiling again at this time.
Looking at the tiles taken out of the kiln, the villagers cheered.
"It's done! It's done! The tiles were finally burned. ”
This is the third kiln that Jiang Tangtang took people to burn.
In the past, the two kilns burned out due to the wrong control of temperature and time. The villagers looked at the burnt tiles and were worried, but they tried their best to help.
Finally, in the third kiln, the tiles were fired in good condition.
At this point, everyone was so happy that they almost jumped.
"In the future, we will not only have a brick house to live in, but also a roof made of tiled houses."
"Isn't it, isn't this the big man's house in the city? I can't imagine that I, Zhang Laosan, still have such a blessing in this life. ”
"This is thanks to Lu Sanlang and his wife, if they hadn't taken us to find this valley to settle down, and they knew so many skills, and solved our ration problem, even if we found a place to settle down, we wouldn't be able to live today."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all thanks to Lord Lu and Gu Chang!"
……
The villagers were excited, and as usual, thanked Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan.
The gratitude of the villagers is simple, that is, good to them. But apart from homemade sauerkraut or something, the villagers felt that they couldn't come up with anything good.
The Lu family has Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang who find a way to move things home, and their food is much richer than them. Every time Su Shi gave sauerkraut and returned the gift, the villagers felt that they took advantage of the Lu family in the end.
Now everyone simply doesn't go to deliver things, and only helps the Lu family to work. A few days ago, I learned that Jiang Tangtang was going to open a medicine field and plant medicinal herbs, and many villagers went over to ask her where to open the wasteland, and they went to help when they were free.
Jiang Tangtang said: "There is no hurry to open up the wasteland and plant medicinal materials, I see that everyone has opened up the wasteland, it just so happened that I managed to get some wheat seeds a few days ago, I think everyone might as well plant winter wheat." ”
These wheat seeds were drawn yesterday when she used her points to draw random rewards.
I heard that this is a seed that has been specially cultivated by the system. Not only is it more cold-tolerant, but it also has a higher yield than ordinary wheat. In addition, it also has a strong resistance to pests and diseases.
The villagers didn't know that the winter wheat seeds that Jiang Tangtang got were so high-grade, but when they heard that they had got wheat seeds, everyone was excited.
After the excitement, the villagers were a little embarrassed to ask about the price of wheat seeds.
These people have really received too much favor from Lu Shiyan and his wife, and this favor is so great that they don't know how to repay it.
Now Jiang Tangtang has quietly brought in the winter wheat seeds they urgently need.
The villagers were excited, but they felt more and more that they owed too much to Lu Shiyan and his wife.
Jiang Tangtang said: "I don't charge money for these wheat seeds, I lend them to everyone." When the wheat is planted, everyone will return the wheat.
However, I bought this wheat seed from a traveling merchant at a high price, and I heard that this is a wheat seed from overseas, which is more cold-tolerant and more productive than our local wheat seed, and the price is much more expensive.
When the time comes, I want 30% of your wheat production, I don't know if you are willing to do it? ”
The villagers nodded one after another: "Yes, what's not to be willing to?" If it weren't for Gu Chang and the adults, where would we have such a stable life now? ”
"But no, don't say it's just 30 percent, it's okay to give 4 percent and 50 percent. If it weren't for the grain chief who found this wheat seed, even if our wasteland was opened, there would be no seeds, so we could only live there in the barren. ”
……
The villagers echoed and had no opinion on the fact that after the wheat was planted, Jiang Tangtang would harvest 30% of the total output.
But she was full of suspicion about the wheat seeds from overseas. They had been farming all their lives and had never heard of the cold-resistant wheat in her mouth.
It can't be a lie, right?
It's just that it's not easy for everyone to talk in front of Jiang Tangtang at this time, and when they go home in the evening, someone whispers about it.
"Gu Chang really asked a traveling merchant to buy winter wheat seeds from overseas? At this time, there are still traveling merchants doing business outside? ”
"Why don't you do business? Those who are not lucky enough to live in the valley like us can only grit their teeth and endure it. Now that there is a war outside, it is certainly not easy to get grain, and Gu Chang said that he bought it from a smuggling merchant, and he must have bought it from a traveling merchant. ”
"Also, this wheat seed must be very expensive. The chief of the valley does not take our money, but only grain. She's so nice. ”
Conversations similar to this take place in many villagers' homes. But there are also worries, worried that Jiang Tangtang was deceived by others, and in the end, everyone worked hard in vain.
However, this worry disappeared in an instant when he saw the wheat seeds taken out by Jiang Tangtang the next day.
The wheat seeds taken out by Jiang Tangtang are full of grains, and they are high-quality wheat seeds at a glance.
It's so much better than what they used to keep for themselves.
At this time, no one doubted the truth of Jiang Tangtang's words.
The villagers got the wheat seeds and got busy.
However, most of the work of planting wheat is done by the women of the village. It's time for the earthen building to be on the beam.
Some of the strong people in the village went to Shangliang, and some of them followed Jiang Tangtang to burn tiles, and everyone was working hard to build the house as soon as possible. In case the autumn rain falls, the roof has not yet been built.
In addition to burning tiles to build houses and farming, the villagers also want to find time to go to the mountains to collect mountain goods.
The wild fruits in the mountains are ripe, the sour dates are also ripe, and the kudzu and fern roots can also be dug up to make powder.
In short, autumn is a harvest season.
The villagers are eager to give birth to eighty-one hands and store plenty of food for the coming winter.
