There are also these chickens raised by Lin Xiaoman, they are not small when they are bought, and they can grow up with long legs, although they are coat colors that they have never seen, but the people in the village just feel that Lin Xiaoman's family is getting good things, and they also ask Lin Xiaoman to help them get some back.

Lin Xiaoman simply went to the animal husbandry station and bought 500 chickens, there are fewer roosters and more hens, all of which are varieties that can guarantee at least two eggs in three days, and it is not a problem to raise one egg a day.

After bringing it back, whoever wants to raise it in the village will come to her house to buy it, a chicken costs five cents, but I didn't expect it to be bought in less than half a day, and some people buy more than a dozen.

Some people who didn't buy it asked Lin Xiaoman to help buy some more, but Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse, and some people even asked her to help ask if there were any duck seedlings for sale, and wanted to raise ducks in the river.

Lin Xiaoman was moved when he heard this, there are not many people who raise ducks here, but it is not nothing.

Ducks are much easier to raise than chickens, don't worry about rushing to the river every day, and then rush back at night, most people will not specifically feed the ducks with vegetables and grain, they are all eaten by the small fish and shrimp in the river.

As long as you get up early and open the circle door, the ducks will line up and run to the river, not even the people who put the ducks.

The only thing to be aware of is that the ducks do not lay their eggs on time, and the free-range ducks have to go to the river from time to time to pick up the eggs, otherwise they may not be able to lay their eggs somewhere.

But duck eggs are a good thing, and roast duck is even better.

Maybe Hedong Village can unlock a few new delicacies.

In mid-March, almost every household in Hedong Village raised some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep brought by Lin Xiaoman. Lin Xiaoman also bought a lot of wild vegetables harvested by villagers in the mountains.

Lin Xiaoman instructed the villagers how to plant in the field all day long, although he wore a hat on his head, he was inevitably blackened by the wind.

When Lu Jin saw Lin Xiaoman again, she was standing on the head of the newly opened wasteland, teaching everyone how to plant potatoes, and there were large and small pieces of shaved potatoes with sprouts in the basket on the ground, and several village women were holding knives to quickly sharpen.

These women were all hired by Lin Xiaoman from the city for money, and now when the farming is busy, there are no idlers in the village, but there are many idle women in the city, and one person can help with a day's work for twenty yuan.

The potato pieces that had been cut off the sprouts were thrown into a pile, because the sprouted potatoes had toxins in them, and the staff of the grain planting station repeatedly told her not to eat these potatoes, Lin Xiaoman didn't know how strong the toxins were, so he didn't think about eating them, and planned to use them into potato starch, which could be used when cooking in the future.

Lin Daqiang has been busier since spring ploughing, but the busier he is, the more down-to-earth he becomes.

When the heavy snow closed the village before, Lu Jin asked the people in the east of the village to take out the grain, and when the road was opened, they would double the repayment, and many families only took a few catties out of the meaning, Lin Daqiang's family and the few families close to him took out most of the food in the family under his tough attitude.

Sure enough, after the road was opened, Lu Jin did not disappoint these people, not only doubled the repayment of these grains, even if the original borrowed rough grain, it was all white rice.

Even because of their performance when the village was closed, as long as they were willing to buy wasteland, they gave priority to them, and the measured land was also full of acres.

This made those who were not willing to take out the food at home regret it, but it was too late to regret it, who made them think too much, and they didn't believe that Lu Jin would really do what he said.

Lin Daqiang believed more and more that he would have meat to eat with Lu Jin, and now that the village was busy with planting, Lu Jin came to inspect the village, and he naturally followed before and after the saddle.

Lu Jin stood behind Lin Xiaoman and learned to plant potatoes, and Lin Daqiang also learned together.

There are many people in the village who want to grow potatoes, and after learning from Lin Xiaoman for a while, they all went home to get their own fields, and Lu Jin also pulled his trouser legs to help in the field.

Lin Xiaoman's family has a lot of fields, and she plans to use five acres of land to grow potatoes.

Originally, she thought that she would drive the donkey to plow the land and plant a piece of the land after plowing it, but now that Lu Jin helped, Lin Xiaoman did not refuse, so she thought about driving the donkey herself and asked Lu Jin to help the plow.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jin's plow was very good, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

Lin Daqiang couldn't watch it, so he pulled his trouser leg to help, Lin Xiaoman asked him to drive the donkey, and he took a hoe and followed him to plow the ground, while Lin Erhu carried a basket of potato sprouts and planted behind Lin Xiaoman.

Put a potato sprout cube and cover it with some soil with your feet, and then gently step on it and it is planted.

The ground has been fertilized before ploughing, and it is enough to bring some water from the river to water it.

Because he was busy, Lin Xiaoman didn't have time to cook food for Lu Jin, so at noon asked Lin Erhu to go over there and buy two bags of steamed buns, and she made a big bucket of seaweed egg soup, and everyone squatted on the ground to eat.

Seeing Lu Jin dressed in coarse cloth clothes, wearing a broken straw hat, holding a bowl in his right hand, a bun in his left hand, one with a high trouser leg and one with a low trouser leg, his feet were full of mud, and his face was tanned a lot, Lin Xiaoman couldn't believe it, was this really the cold-faced noble son she knew before?

If she didn't recognize it, she would believe it when others told her that it was the same mud legs in the village as her.

Lu Jin ate eight big buns in a row, and drank a big bowl of egg drop soup, finally slowing down the speed of eating, but still eating slowly.

Thinking of coming to Lin Xiaoman's house in Hedong Village to eat delicious food, he didn't eat in the morning, who knew how busy Lin Xiaoman was when he arrived in Hedong Village, so he was embarrassed to say that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

After another morning's work, he was already hungry.

However, the taste of this steamed bun is really good, the filling is big, it is also full of soup, the dough of the bun is not only white, but also soft and sweet, it is delicious that he has never tasted, even the imperial chef skills in the palace may not be so, and it is completely possible to open a store.

Until she began to burp when she was full, Lu Jin still ate two more, and Lin Xiaoman sighed to herself, obviously she had a lot of food, and when she was at Mrs. Lin's house in the past, she was disliked by her a lot, how could this Lord Lu eat better than her? Doesn't it mean that rich people eat less?

It seems that he is tired from work.

After eating the steamed buns, I ate for a while, and then began my afternoon work again.

Recently, many people in the village have opened up wasteland, and the Xu family, who was originally exiled, wanted to help Lin Xiaoman's family farm the land, but it was not too late to open up the wasteland, so Lin Xiaoman asked them to go to the wasteland first.

Peng Guan's few people have been staring over there, and when they heard that the adults were coming to the village at noon, they also rushed over, but they saw the adults busy in the field with the plow, they were all frightened, afraid that the adults would blame them for not helping Lin Xiaoman's family do a good job, so they hurriedly came to grab the work in Lu Jin's hands.

Who knew that Lu Jin was not idle after being robbed, and went to Lin Xiaoman's house to bring another donkey over to plow the field.

With the help of these officials, more than five acres of potatoes were planted in one day, although Lin Xiaoman was happy, but she was tired for a day, and she didn't have the strength to cook again, so she could only wait until she was not busy to invite everyone to have a good meal.
