Chapter Forty-Six: I Gave Too Much, I Don't Know How to Reciprocate!

"Who's on the big night?" Li Changfu stood up and strode over to open the door.

Li Xiaoyue also looked puzzled and stared outside.

Li Changfu opened the door, saw the people coming outside, and looked surprised, "Brother Da Zhuang, have you come back from the county seat?" Have you eaten? ”

Niu Dazhuang handed over the things in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Changfu, I have already eaten it, this is what the military advisor asked me to send over." I still have something to do, so I will say goodbye first! ”

Without waiting for Li Changfu to react, Niu Dazhuang had already run away.

It was dark, and Li Changfu couldn't see what the piece of paper in his hand was, so he took it back to the house.

He looked at it fixedly, his eyes showing consternation, "Mother, look, this is the title deed." ”

"The shop in the county town, if you say it's good to rent, you can't ask for the shop of Gongsun's family." Li Xiaoyue put down her chopsticks and stood up, Mr. Gongsun gave too much, she didn't have anything equal, and she couldn't help it.

"Mother, this is not the title deed of the county shop." Li Changfu handed the land deed to his mother, "It is thousands of acres of wasteland around Dongshan. ”

Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and her face was puzzled, "Why did Mr. Gongsun send us these wastelands?" The land was worthless, and after two years, the amount of taxes paid was significant. ”

Li Changfu couldn't figure it out, "Mother, why don't I ask Niu Dazhuang now?" Or go ask Mr. Gongsun? ”

Li Xiaoyue waved her hand, "It's dark now, the barracks are curfew, and outsiders can't enter." The title deed will be placed with me first, and I will have the opportunity to ask again tomorrow. ”

At this meal, Li Xiaoyue ate so much that she didn't know what to eat, and she always thought about what Mr. Gongsun wanted?

In the early morning of the next day, the two daughters-in-law were cooking at home, and Li Xiaoyue walked out of the house with a pickaxe.

Looking up, the land that catches your eye is now her Li Xiaoyue's.

When Li Changfu saw his mother go out, he also carried a shovel and followed out.

"Mother, what are you going to do?"

Li Xiaoyue planed here, planed there, "Before, your grandfather bought thirty acres of land around the Shini waste mine, half a meter below the surface, there is still Shini mine, but the quality is not very good, most of it is finely broken. ”

"Then a large piece of Shini mine, supplying the entire Lanshan County, can last for three or four years. If there are still mines in other places, even if it is not large, it will be enough for us to sell honeycomb coal for ten years. ”

Li Changfu scratched his head, "Mother, I don't think it's our turn to do such a good thing." When someone was mining here, they had to check around. If there were, it wouldn't have been discarded so easily. ”

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Everyone thinks so, even me." However, I also believe that Mr. Gongsun will not send this title deed for no reason. ”

I ran two or three pits in a row, but I didn't find the Shini mine.

Finally, when the sixth pit was dug, I dug down half a meter, and sure enough, I found a fine vein of Shini.

"Mother, your guess is right, there are still small Shini mines underground. Here, for example, it's only three meters wide! ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Sure enough, in the next ten years, we can all sell honeycomb coal!" ”

Li Changfu also smiled, "Mother, then our family is rich!" The soil above, after being sifted, can be used to make honeycomb coal. ”

Li Xiaoyue squinted her eyes at the place where the loess was dug, "At this stage, continue to dig the big pit over there." ”

Li Changfu was puzzled, "This side is closer to home, there is no need to be far away!" Although there are more stones in this field, they can be sifted out and can be used to build houses and pave roads. ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Of course I know, but it's just that it's already low-lying over there, dig a little bigger, and bring water from the river, so we can raise fish." ”

Li Changfu's eyes lit up, "Yes, that land is also included in the title deed." You can't farm, you can use it to raise fish, and you can make a profit for a long time. ”

However, while Li Changfu saw Li Xiaoyue happy, he was also a little worried, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Xiaoyue sighed, "This title deed is very valuable, and it is worth hundreds of taels of silver." I'm thinking, how to repay Mr. Gongsun? ”

When Li Changfu heard this, he patted his head, "Yes, grandpa said all day long that no merit will be lost!" We have received such a big benefit from the Gongsun family, and I am not sure if I don't return it! ”

"Mother, I have an idea here, I don't know if it's okay?"

Li Xiaoyue turned her head to look at Li Changfu, and also wanted to hear her son's thoughts, "One person is short, and two people are long." Whether your idea works or not, saying it might give me some inspiration! ”

Hearing his mother's encouragement, Li Changfu smiled, "Mother, you bought the seeds of the white stack from the field before, and I heard the boss say that the cloth woven by the white stack is very good, and it is a tribute." ”

"If my mother has ingenuity, she will be able to plant successfully. When the time comes, if you give it to Mr. Gongsun, won't you return the favor? ”

Li Xiaoyue listened, smiled and nodded, "Changfu, you're right!" The Gongsun family is not short of silver, and what interests me is nothing more than my ingenuity, and I will use my brains more in the future. ”

"Your daughter-in-law is probably ready, let's go home for dinner. Later, you'll have to bring someone to deliver the goods. When you're out and about, don't be impulsive. When you encounter something, be calm. If you can't decide, don't come blindly, tell your uncle. ”

Li Changfu responded, "Yes, mother." ”

Returning home for dinner, the village's ox carts and horse-drawn carts, donkey carts were rented to pull stoves and pull honeycomb coal.

500 pieces of honeycomb coal, 10 yuan for one trip, four trips a day, you can earn 40 yuan.

The people in the village are very happy to come over to pull the goods, Li Changfu is responsible for the delivery of the county, and Li Changlu is responsible for loading the goods at home.

Leave these things to the two sons, and when they see that they are doing well, let them do it.

Li Xiaoyue saw that the weather was warm, and focused on the planting of white stacks.

The seeds can only be planted after being soaked in boiling water and mixed with plant ash.

In doing so, not only does it induce germination, but it also removes eggs and germs from the seeds.

The tools for making the cotton nutrition bowl have also been made, and I will use it today.

Li Xiaoyue called her third son, Li Changshou, who is good at farming.

Next to the vegetable garden, he dug a pit three meters long, two meters wide, and about ten centimeters deep.

Sprinkle some water on the soil and stir it well, then use the cotton nutrient bowl tool to make the nutrient bowl, and place them neatly in the pit one by one.

This tool, in fact, is somewhat similar to the honeycomb coal tool, except that there are some perforated devices, and there is a small pit above the nutrient bowl, just enough to put the white stacked seeds into it, and cover it with nutrient soil.

One and a half pounds of white stacked seeds, there are about seven or eight thousand seeds.

The nutrition bowl is very small, Li Changshou has great strength, and he is a good hand at work, and his speed is very fast.

Li Xiaoyue put the soaked cotton seeds mixed with plant ash on the cotton bowl and covered it with a layer of loose nutrient soil.

Mr. Gongsun passed through Ewha Village and originally wanted to go directly to the Dongshan Military Camp, but unconsciously drove his horse to Ewha Village.

Knowing that Li Xiaoyue planted white stacks, Mr. Gongsun was curious, "Mrs. Li, can white stacks really be planted successfully?" ”
