Chapter Ninety-Eight: People Are Stupid and Have a Lot of Money, You Still Don't Care?
Li Laohan counted with his fingers, "These bricks have built a workshop, and they are not enough to build the house we live in." ”
Li Xiaoyue smiled and didn't care, "Then let's buy red bricks from other places and ask more people to work." ”
Time is money, we have to race against time, and at the same time, we want to improve our lives.
She makes money just to make her life better and more convenient.
For example, the renovation of aqua toilets, such as special washing rooms, and various convenient facilities......
Li Laohan nodded, fully supporting his daughter's decision, "Okay, listen to you." ”
In the next few days, Li Xiaoyue took Qin Yuyao and Li Changhuan to dye wool together.
Li Changhuan looked at the pink and tender water red, "Mother, I like this color, can I use this color wool to make clothes in the future?" ”
Li Xiaoyue happily agreed, "Of course you can!" ”
Qin Yuyao also became lively, as if she had found something she was interested in, "Aunt Yue, I like light green, I want light green woolen clothes." ”
"Okay!" Li Xiaoyue said with a smile, smiling at Li Changle, who was eager to try on the side, "Changle, you can choose whatever you want." But when the time comes, you'll have to do it yourself. ”
Although Li Xiaoyue can knit sweaters, she may not be able to knit sweaters for the whole family and break her fingers.
In ancient times, girls were popular from elementary school and made clothes for themselves and their families.
The dyeing is successful, and these dyes are plant-based.
Although it will fade a little, the sweater does not need to be washed as often, so it does not have much impact.
Li Changhuan and Qin Yuyao are responsible for dyeing at home, and their skills are getting better and better, and the dyeing is becoming more and more uniform.
Before, the wool was cleaned with lime, and all the water was poured into the stream, but now Li Xiaoyue has found another wonderful use.
She found that Ewha Village had a large area of acidic soil with almost no weeds on it.
Mixing these wool-soaked lime water into the soil neutralizes the acidity and allows the soil to gradually return to soil suitable for growing crops.
Therefore, Li Xiaoyue specially asked people to turn over the acidic soil, pick out the stones, and then pour the lime water into these fields.
The whole family didn't understand, but everyone didn't dare to refute Li Xiaoyue now.
The people in the village don't have so many taboos.
Especially Patriarch Li, he was angry and personally found Li Laohan, "Heizi, your family Xiaoyue makes a lot of money, but you can't waste money like this." It's not too troublesome to let people turn over those wastelands that don't grow grass, and they actually pick up buckets of lime water, which is really nothing to do. It's stupid to spend money in vain. ”
Li Laohan helped his daughter build a workshop during this time, and he didn't have time to pay attention to other things.
At this time, hearing Patriarch Li say that her daughter was stupid, Li Heifeng was suddenly unhappy.
Although he didn't know the specific situation, it didn't affect Li Heifeng's preference for his daughter.
"I said patriarch, don't talk about my daughter like that. Far from it, who can make use of those discarded stone nirvana powder like my daughter? ”
"You've seen the spinning machines before, and the wool thread is fast and good, and it can spin twine. Others can't think of it, but my daughter can think of it, and even Carpenter Sun praises my daughter. ”
"Anyway, my daughter is smart and wants to do things, and it makes sense. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. ”
Patriarch Li was so blocked by Li Heifeng that he didn't come up in a breath, and a thin old man trembled with anger, "Okay, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." I want you to persuade Xiaoyue, but it's good that you still don't appreciate it. ”
"Appreciation, very appreciation!" Li Laohan was worried that this enthusiastic little old man would be angry with him.
On a hot day, so busy, I have to pick up an old funeral, how unlucky!
Patriarch Li heard that Li Heifeng had softened, so he didn't get angry, "Go and say it, don't waste time." ”
"Let's go." Li Laohan hurriedly responded, he was really afraid that his movements would be slow, and the little old man was so angry that he was stubborn.
Li Laohan didn't bother to wash his hands, so he came to the house to find Li Xiaoyue.
"Xiaoyue, what are you doing with the dirty water on those wastelands? Although the place was not devoid of grass, it could not grow crops. ”
Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that her family had looked at her strangely recently, and now she had found the reason.
I think she's a big fool and confused!
"I read in a book on agriculture that lime water could be used to improve wasteland where there was no grass. Those wastelands are all on my land deeds, and if we can change it into fertile land to grow crops, we can harvest a little more. ”
Li Laohan was stunned for a moment, "As for Liu Yunde, who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, will he read agricultural books?" Where? Show me? ”
Li Xiaoyue spread her hands, "You also said that Liu Yunde is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, how can he keep books that are useless to him?" It has long been burned and occupies space. ”
"Fortunately, I remembered some of it, just as I thought that we had wasteland and so much lime water. Add some more water to dilute, sprinkle in the soil and try it. ”
"If it fails, it's just a waste of money. If it succeeds, Dad, we can farm in many places in Lanshan County. ”
Hearing this, Li Laohan touched his beard, originally he came over to persuade his daughter not to come nonsense, but he didn't expect to be persuaded by his daughter so quickly.
"Okay, then try." Li Laohan smiled, "If the patriarch knew that those lime water could improve the land, he would probably take a broken mat and sleep there every day." ”
Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Patriarch Grandpa, he has a lot of worries about the old man." But it's okay to think more and live longer. ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Li Laohan said with a smile, "His old man is also kind, I'll go back and talk to him and let his old man rest assured." ”
"yes, don't worry him." Li Xiaoyue replied, "I've worked hard for my dad these days, Bao Jiao'er tonight, Dad, you come over for dinner in the evening." ”
It's not that she doesn't want to invite her mother's family to eat together, there are too many people, plus her big family, it is estimated that she will have to set up three tables.
A day's worth of delicate ears may not be enough to eat.
Li Laohan smiled: "Okay, I'll come over later." ”
He likes to eat Jiao'er, but it is too hard to make dumplings once, and there are many people in the family, so he doesn't eat them often.
After Patriarch Li learned from Li Laohan about Li Xiaoyue's reason for doing this, he was also skeptical.
However, he thought that Li Xiaoyue had already made two successful attempts before, and if he could succeed this time, it would be really profitable.
Those wastelands where there is no grass can buy three to five acres for one tael of silver, and if the government persuades people to farm, half sell and half give away, and one tael of silver can buy up to eight acres of wasteland.
From this day on, Patriarch Li, a spirited little old man, although he would not eat and live on the ground, would wander over after eating three meals a day.
Sometimes, some grass seeds are secretly thrown into the lime-sprinkled soil to see if they can germinate.
In Li Xiaoyue's eyes, she didn't expect so much, and she wanted to open up the business territory as soon as possible and make a lot of money.
Patriarch Li, who is old and refined, has experienced years of famine and war, and he knows the importance of food.
In extreme environments, gold, silver and jewelry cannot be eaten, but with food, you can fill your stomach and live.
