Chapter 50: The Pig Must Eat
"We're going to see them digging the fields." Tian Diewu wanted to divert her attention, maybe it would be good to do this.
Lu Yi didn't have so many thoughts to follow her and left, he only knew that he didn't like the person named Tu Liuyun, and other things had little to do with him.
Seeing the speed at which those people were digging the fields, Tian Diewu instantly felt that she had earned it, but she was a contract responsibility system, so the speed of doing it had little impact on her, thinking about the fact that after the beginning of spring, all the barren beaches had become fertile fields, was it very fulfilling.
The people digging the fields are digging in full swing, and when they see Tian Diewu coming, they all look up to greet her, although they say that the wages are owed first, but three meals a day are also very good for them. Working for Zhao Daquan to pay off the soup and water for one meal a day, the salary is also very low, if it weren't for the fact that they still have to rent his field, they wouldn't have worked for Zhao Daquan.
Zhao Yunchuang finally knew why Tian Diewu had to dig the aqueduct first, if they didn't dig the aqueduct to divert the water away, they wouldn't be able to dig this mound at all now, for the croppers, as long as it was a flat and fertile place, they could farm, but they didn't understand why they had to pile up this kind of mound as long as the water was drained away and the wasteland was directly cleared.
"Miss." Zhao Yunchuang walked over and saluted her.
Tian Diewu is much shorter than Zhao Yunchuang, she will be fifteen years old after the New Year, but because she is older in her heart, she ignores that she is actually a minor for a while.
It's just that she thinks so, and at the age of fourteen in this era, she is going to talk about marriage.
"Is the mud down there wet?" Tian Diewu was a little worried that it would be difficult to dig if the mud was wet.
"It's a little wet, but we wear straw sandals and stuff them with dried leaves so that it doesn't interfere with our work." Zhao Yunchuang said confidently that for no reason, he believed that Tian Diewu would one day give them all their wages, which would be a lot of income for their old Wazhuang.
"Well, if you have any problems and need my help, you can tell me." Tian Diewu doesn't know much about this, she knows very well that the person who really uses the land to make money is definitely not the person who goes to farm the land herself, and if she wants to plant the 300 acres directly, it is better to abolish her directly.
"Yes, strange to say, there is very little snow this winter." Zhao Yunchuang hesitated, if it didn't snow like this winter, then next year's harvest would be the same thing.
"Yes." Tian Diewu frowned.
"Then I'll go to work first, and Miss can call me if you have any orders." Zhao Yunchuang could see that Tian Diewu didn't understand this very well.
After Zhao Yun broke away, Tian Diewu and Lu Yi walked slowly along the path that was stepped on, and there were wild grasses everywhere in winter, so they didn't have to worry about what would be hidden inside.
The most distressing thing about Tian Diewu now is that she originally went up the mountain to find wild boars, and the materials for making pork jerky are ready, isn't it a waste to not be able to get wild boars, is it difficult to buy pigs by herself, this cost is a bit high, and it is too wasteful of her ability.
But how can we find the wild boar, and how can we give a reasonable explanation for catching the wild boar?
In fact, one thing she overlooked was that she met Tuliuyun because she was looking for a wild boar, this person who was originally just a passerby, but she never forgot it, and she didn't know if they would meet again.
After going around in a circle, they returned to their homes and asked Chang Xiang'er and them to prepare farm tools and dig around their own small yards. As a person who started farming in winter, there is really nothing to toss now, only to prepare and prepare, and opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.
In fact, I am lucky to think about myself, after all, there is not so much involvement, even a father disappeared as soon as he came, if the seven aunts and eight aunts pulled out a bunch, they would be annoyed to death in the yard at that time, not to mention that now they have no scruples to run to this kind of place to play.
Except, of course, that he is in debt.
"Miss, when are we going to buy pigs?" Chang Xianger is still thinking about the pork jerky.
Tian Diewu took a sickle and cut off the dead grass: "Sooner or later, there will be pigs." When he said this, he didn't have any confidence at all: "Hey, by the way, Xiang'er, your grandfather is a hunter, do you know where wild boars are active in winter?" ”
"Where there are acorn trees in the sun." Chang Xiang'er said directly.
"There are acorn trees in the sun?" Tian Diewu thought about it for a while, Xiang Yang said in the past, even if the wild boar's hair is longer in winter, it will be cold, but why is it an acorn tree?
Suddenly I remembered that wild boars also have to eat, and the main food of wild boars in winter is dried fruits, grass roots in the ground and insects in Tibetan soil jelly, which means that it is easier to find wild boars in such places.
"Well, my grandfather will dig traps in such a place in winter, wild boars are difficult to catch, there used to be many wild boars on the mountains of Hebei, since there are no trees on the mountains of Hebei, there is nothing anymore." Chang Xiang'er said with some regret.
Hebei Mountain is much smaller than the ghost mountain, but fortunately, it is much smaller, there are no large beasts, the largest is wild boars and the like, there are many fruits on the mountain, and the children on the nearby Zhuangzi have been to Hebei Mountain to pick fruits to eat in their childhood.
Moreover, the people of Chaihuzhai were very friendly in the past, and sometimes they would give them some fruits to eat, but this kind of life ended after the Hebei Mountains began to cut wood and burn charcoal, and of course it was also the beginning of the miserable life of Chaihuzhai.
At the beginning, many people felt that Meng Laohu was actually quite pitiful, but after a long time, they were stunned when it came to their own interests, and slowly hated Meng Laohu and Meng Leopard.
"And is there a wild boar on this mountain?" Tian Diewu realized that she had overlooked a very serious problem.
"Where's more?" Chang Xiang'er said excitedly and stopped the hoe and began to say: "And the wild boars on the ghost mountain are generally not dared to provoke, saying that it is the ghost of the ghost, otherwise it will not grow so big, every summer and autumn harvest time is lit all night to fire the embankment wild boar, but no one dares to fight the wild boar in the ghost mountain." ”
"Oh." Tian Diewu was relieved, since there were a lot of wild boars, it was just that he didn't find them. Tian Diewu looked at Chang Xiang'er who was excited and forgot to work.
Chang Xiang'er smiled and began to work, Chang Xiang'er's grandfather and uncle were both hunters, and they were a little wild since they were children, and later learned a lot of things and rules with her mother, but as long as they stood on the land and talked about their excitement, they immediately jumped out, you must know that there is a word called nature is difficult to change.
Tian Diewu seems to be on the right track here, Zhao Daquan was so angry that he wanted to smash things, first he was looking for a tiger to take away the silver and did nothing, and then he was blackmailed by Meng Leopard to take away the silver, and then he went to Yucheng Zhao's house and was lukewarmly returned, he couldn't swallow this breath.
