Lin Xiaoman said that he would make some open baskets and put them on the kang that could not be inhabited, fill the basket with soil, and plant some small green leafy vegetables. No matter how long or how little it is, there is always a place to eat in winter, so Lin Erhu went to the mountains and cut a lot of apricot strips and carried them back.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Lu Jin and others coming over this way, Lin Erhu let out an exclamation of 'ah', and shouted as he ran into the yard: "Sister, sister, the county commander is here!" ”

The cry was so loud and loud that if you couldn't hear what he was shouting, you would think he had been chased by a wolf. Even Lu Jin, who was about to walk to the door, was stunned, and his head was full of black lines.

Lin Xiaoman just put the fried pickles into a big bowl, and after listening to Lin Erhu's words, his hand shook, and the pickle bowl almost fell to the ground.

casually put the pickle bowl on the stove, wiped his hand on the apron and hurried out, Lin Daqiang had already led Lu Jin and a few people to enter the hospital.

Looking up at the sky, I had to leave a meal when I came to the house.

Looking back at the pickle bowl on the side of the stove, you can't use this to entertain the prefectural magistrate, right?

Lin Xiaoman never thought about whether the county magistrate would refuse when she opened her mouth to leave for dinner.

It is said that half the eldest son eats the poor old man, this Lu County Order's meal Lin Xiaoman has been taught, this time in addition to Qingshu, there are two people who seem to be in the yamen, what do you have to do to not be too rude?

Lin Daqiang entered the door and said: "Xiaoman, I have invited the county magistrate and the official who surveyed the land, and you will tell the lord which wasteland you like." The adults and officials are busy, so you can lead the way. ”

Lin Xiaoman saw that as soon as Lin Daqiang's voice fell, Lu Jin's slightly thin lips pursed, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Lin Daqiang.

Obviously, the prefectural magistrate is not very busy.

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Uncle Daqiang, you see it's noon, I think the adults and the official don't have lunch, and they will be hungry for a long time when they return to the city, so it's better to let the second tiger take the official to measure the land, I will make a few side dishes, and I can eat the land when the amount is finished." ”

Lin Daqiang patted his head, "Look, I just want to finish measuring the ground earlier, and Xiaoman has to think thoughtfully." It's all time for dinner, my lord, why don't you stay and have some coarse tea and light rice. ”

Lu Jin nodded slightly reservedly, "Yes!" ”

Lin Daqiang smiled and grinned to the root of his ears, "Okay, Xiaoman, you get it first, and I and Erhu will accompany the official master to measure the land first." Erhu, gone. ”

"Hey, it's coming!"

Lin Erhu has already put the apricot stick in the vat to soak, the original apricot stick is wet, after the beginning of autumn the apricot stick has grown, you can take advantage of the wet directly to weave the basket, so soaked in water, but also afraid that the climate is too dry, and when you want to weave, the apricot stick will become brittle.

In the past few days, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu have discussed which piece of wasteland to choose to open up, and now the good land near the river in the village has been opened, and the rest is either too far away from the river for irrigation and inconvenient, or too close to the river, once the water rises, it is easy to be flooded.

In addition to planting some staple foods such as corn and potatoes, Lin Xiaoman's wasteland also wants to grow vegetables such as peppers and tomatoes, and some leafy vegetables suitable for shabu-shabu in spring.

Grain can be eaten depending on the weather, and as long as it does not catch up with the drought like this year, the harvest will not be too bad. However, if the vegetables are watered frequently during the dry season, the wasteland that is too far away from the river cannot be chosen.

Lin Xiaoman wanted to open two pieces of wasteland, one was far away from the river, and then he would plant some buds, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and one was by the river.

In recent decades, there are not many times when Hedong Village has flooded wasteland, even if it is planted once in ten years, it is still profitable.

And there is another reason for choosing this land, she and Lin Erhu measured a few days ago, the location of the wasteland by the river corresponds to a warehouse area over there, if she wants to keep running back and forth on both sides, she always has to find a way to find a safe exit over there, although there is no ID card at the moment, but what if you can rent a warehouse without ID documents?

Lin Xiaoman planned well, and he was bound to get that wasteland.

Lin Erhu wanted to take someone to measure the land, only Lin Xiaoman was left at home, and Lu Jin and Qingshu were not good to stay, smelling the fragrance of pickles and fried meat wafting from the stove room, and took a deep breath. Thinking of the food Lin Xiaoman was about to make, Lu Jin swallowed his saliva and followed out.

Lin Xiaoman saw that everyone was gone, so he inserted the door from the inside and went back to the house.

Quickly ran to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients that would not make people suspicious, and when I came back, it was a burst of frying, cooking, frying, stewing, stewing, stewing, all of which were newly learned dishes from the video.

And Lu Jin, who followed Lin Erhu to measure the land, stayed in the small courtyard.

First watched the two little officials measure the ground slowly, and they were a little irritated while recording while measuring, when will they have to go back to eat?

So, he pointed to a large area of land by the river in front of him and said, "Estimate how many acres that land has." ”

One of the officials glanced at it, and after measuring it with his hand a few times, he said, "Lord Hui, that land is almost fifty acres. ”

Thinking that the county magistrate personally followed to measure the land today, he naturally didn't dare to say more, even this number is still much smaller, otherwise the people bought the land, and after they measured, how could that land be seventy acres.

But obviously, Lu Jin also understands some of the routine operations of the government to measure land, and sneered when he heard this, "Fifty acres? I really don't know how you measure the land? In my opinion, that land is thirty acres at most! ”

The little official smiled bitterly in his heart, usually they do know how to hide the land, but in front of the county commander, how dare they?

But the county has made the hearts of adults squeaky to the nest, not to say that this land is at most thirty acres, then at most thirty acres. Anyway, it's wasteland, and it's close to the river, so if no one buys it this time, it will be difficult to sell it in the future.

"Adult Mingjian, it's the villain's clumsiness, this land is indeed only thirty acres."

Lu Jin was still not satisfied, "There is a large area of this land near the water's edge, you can remove a few acres that are not suitable for farming." ”

The little official nodded helplessly, "Yes, remove another five acres of ......" Seeing that Lu Jin's eyes were still sharp, he hurriedly changed his words, "Remove ten acres of land that is not suitable for cultivation by the water." ”

This time, Lu Jin was barely satisfied, and said to Lin Daqiang: "Patriarch Lin, don't forget to bring the little shopkeeper to the county government to make a deed tomorrow." ”

Lin Daqiang has been planting land for decades, how big a piece of land is, he can see it at a glance, this county magistrate has undercounted more than half of it at once, and he is really a good person.

When he goes back, he wants to talk to Xiaoman about it, the county magistrate has helped him so much, he has to give others a good meal.

After that, Lu Jin and the others followed Lin Erhu to the wasteland a little farther away in the village, because it was far away from the village, no one would be willing to choose a land that would have to go too far to cultivate the land if the village had enough land to plant.

With the experience of waterside fields, this time there is no need for Lu Jin to say, the two officials themselves have divided a piece of land selected by Lin Erhu, thirty acres of land, and directly counted twenty acres.

Because this field will be a good good land when it comes out, Lu Jin saw that Lin Daqiang and Lin Erhu were very satisfied, so he didn't care about the number of acres, "It's also done, only this land is barren, and it is also a field when it is opened up, and the field tax can't be collected more." ”

The two little officials can also see that their county order really doesn't understand the size of the mu, and they really open their eyes and talk nonsense.
