Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Chapter 300 Spring Rain in May

After visiting Mr. Fu Yin, he started to pack his luggage in the afternoon. Shi Hongda left 500 taels of silver for Qi Wu, who was guarding the mansion: "In case of emergency, you can use the 500 taels of silver to hold it temporarily, and then send Someone contacted me, and Mr. Lin and Mr. Hong are newcomers, take good care of them and don't be stingy."

"I understand." Qi Wu nodded solemnly.

Yu Juren took the baby and followed Shi Hongda and the others back to Shibalipu, and the next step was to build a house for the Ba family.

Taking advantage of the fact that we haven't planted the land yet, everyone still has free time.

Yu Liangji went to the old village chief and bought the vacant land next to Yang Da's house. Then Liu Wenxi found the construction team with ease, and went to the vacant land there to start working in full swing.

I also chose a place, between Shao Tiejiang's house and the school, there was an open space, which was originally a barren grassland, but it was bought by Yu Juren, and a house was built for him, and a shop was brought in. The shop was in front and the house was in the back. The kind I gave to Aunt Song as a tailor shop.

There will be a tailor shop in Shibalipu, and everyone spreads it by word of mouth, but everyone thinks, who can't make clothes?

Aunt Qiao, in particular, found Yu Juren and gave him a suggestion: "Everyone can make clothes at ordinary times. Some expensive materials may come to you, Aunt Song. Why don't you open two shops for her, one tailor's shop, and a cloth shop. Sell ​​some ordinary fabrics, and there are a few families here who can weave their own fabrics, if possible, you can also buy some of the fabrics they wove themselves."

Aunt Song is a lady, so she needs everyone's help!

"Okay, just listen to Mrs. Qiao!"

Aunt Qiao is happy, she is also a widow, or a second-married widow, of course she knows that life alone is difficult.

Help if you can.

So Shibalipu not only has a tailor shop, but also a small cloth shop.

It's really small, there are only a dozen kinds of fabrics in it, thirty or forty horses, and the weight is heavy. There are also good materials that are less than Juren's contribution, just a few horses, which can be used as a facade.

The Ba family was about to move out, Yu Liangji was reluctant, and held a banquet to see them off: "I asked someone to buy ten cows and come back, so there will be no shortage of milk in the house from now on."

After all, Batu didn't plan to raise more beef cattle, so he just raised four for meat, but dairy cows have a bright future.

"When you come, take away the asses you brought with you." Shi Hongda had promised them at that time that they would not detain their family's horses, and then let the Ba family follow him back: "As for the land..."

"Our family doesn't want land!" Batu said surprisingly: "If we want it, we won't grow it...."

Shi Hongda: "...."

Yu Juren: "Pfft!"

So, the Ba family had no land, but they couldn't just raise beef cattle and sell them for money. At this time, Fu Erzhuzi came to him, and he asked Batu if he wanted their flock of sheep!

"I've been raising them for so long, and I'm really tired. I can earn some money by growing vegetables in the greenhouse in winter. We don't want to raise this sheep anymore." Fu Erzhuzi was a little tired.

There is no way, there are a lot of work outside the house.

"I'll ask the young master." Batu didn't directly agree.

He still respectfully called Yu Juren "Little Master", Shi Hongda "Big Master", and Yu Baobao "Little Master".

Because Xiao Juren said that they are not allowed to breed sheep, for fear of gnawing grass roots.

"There can only be one flock of sheep. Since they don't want to keep them, you can take over, but don't over-graze. After all, this is not a grassland, so just keep them in captivity, and feed them with silage. Anyway, they are all meat sheep." Yu Juren After thinking about it, this kind of group is also suitable for the Ba family.

After the house was built, an auspicious day was picked, and the Ba family moved. Since then, Shibalipu has a new surname: Ba.

Aunt Song moved to a new house three days later, and the two shops opened at the same time.

She couldn't do it alone, so she gave the tailor shop to her daughter. Anyway, Miss Song couldn't do much work in Ba's house: she couldn't milk cows, and she couldn't skin sheep.

So I can only guard the tailor shop, and Aunt Song is in charge of the cloth shop. She also used her private money to find a few women who are good at weaving and weaving for long-term orders.

The little days were prosperous all at once, and when she left, she made clothes for the Yu family for a whole year...

April is a sad month. Although I live nearby, I am no longer in the same courtyard.

Shi Hongda is very busy, he wants to find some people to come back, at least someone at home to do clothes, wash quilts and other tasks, and look after some animals and so on.

Before finding a suitable candidate, they started farming. Yu's family has a quota of [-] mu of land this year. Shi Hongda, he still has to open up wasteland!

The old village head had already drawn the boundaries for them, and they were just waiting to open up wasteland, which kept him very busy.

Liu Wenxi doesn't have to look at the shed now, the shed is now all under the care of Xiao Juren, and Liu Wenxi has taken over the cattle shed that the Ba family was in charge of before.

The former helper of the family came to the news after the Ba family and Aunt Song left, and it was still the same as in previous years, coming to plant seeds after the May Festival.

Before the May Festival, the wasteland should be cleared up.

After all, Shi Hongda was a sixth-rank military officer, but he didn't care about these things. He pulled the cow by himself and went to open up wasteland with Liu Wenxi!

The Ba family has no land, and they don't know how to plant it, but they can help open up wasteland, and they are still very capable of plowing the land with an old ox.

There are three plows, and the land reclamation is very smooth. After leveling, the washing machine went to look at the land and found that the land is very fertile. This is the only good thing here. It is all good land. As long as people are not lazy, basically anything can be harvested.

"In the first year, there is no need to put fertilizer." Yu Juren squatted there looking at a piece of flat land, which will be planted with peanuts this year.

Peanuts are good, and they can loosen the soil of the wasteland.

At the end of April, there was a rain, which was not heavy and could only moisten the land, but each family still took out the vegetables that had been raised in the early stage and planted them in the vegetable garden.

At the same time, there are many nearby villages doing this...

Just finished the busy work, and the Dragon Boat Festival is here.

The process is the same as in previous years, except that there are two more families to send, one is Ba's family and the other is Aunt Song's family.

After the May Festival, Xiao Juren removed the greenhouse at home, and his home also had seedlings raised early, and the vegetable garden was planted early.

The greenhouse has already been requisitioned by Yu Juren, where spring garlic is planted.

Others don't quite understand, why is Yu Juren so fond of garlic?

All the helpers arrived, and the new year's spring sowing began. This time they worked for eight full days before planting all the fields, and Yu Liangji also paid them generously.

Just after planting the land, it rained. Seeing the light rain outside, Yu Liangji smiled and chatted with Shi Hongda while playing chess: "If this rain can last a day and a night, it will be too small." , The seedlings in the ground are no longer short of water."

"There will definitely be no shortage of water." Shi Hongda also looked at the sky outside.

People say that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and this sentence is indeed true. After a day and a night of rain, the common people have smiles on their faces.

This is the key to a year's harvest!

After the rain fell for a few days, crop seedlings appeared in the field, and everyone was very happy. At the same time, the vegetables in the vegetable garden were also growing well.

Fast-growing vegetables like rapeseed and spinach can come out of the garden!

This is the prime time for selling vegetables. Last year's leeks can be worth three copper coins. When harvesting vegetables this year, Fengshou vegetable shop can only offer a price of one copper coin.

Of course the people in the village were not happy about it. Why were there two copper coins missing?It wasn't that price last year!

The old village chief came to find Yujuren: "The price of vegetables will not go up from now on, what can we do in winter?"

Because in winter, leeks are still three copper coins, which is basically the same as in early spring.

Now that the price is so low, what should I do in winter?Now there is no need to burn fire to keep the temperature. In winter, many people burn straws non-stop to keep the greenhouse warm.

"I'll ask." Yuju stood up and went out with the old village chief.

This is not the first time to collect vegetables, but it is the first time for the big shopkeeper of Fengshou vegetable shop to come. He is more stylish than their boss.

"This leek is just a handful for a copper coin, whether you like it or not!" The big shopkeeper's jaw almost went to the sky.

The people in the village dare not speak out because they have an agreement with Xiao Juren that they cannot offend the vegetable collectors casually because they are the buyers.

"It's written in the contract that green vegetables can fluctuate with the market price, but every time it fluctuates, you have to say hello to me." When Xiao Juren saw this person, he felt that it was not cheap.

"Who are you?" The shopkeeper squinted at Yu Juren.

The guys next to him who came to collect the vegetables also dared not speak out, because the big shopkeeper was airborne, not their original one!

The original one is said to have resigned!

"You don't even know who I am, so you come here to collect vegetables? How dare you lower the price?" Yu Juren directly told everyone, "Take back the vegetables, we won't sell them any more!"

The big guy didn't say a word, he just took the food and left!

"How dare you!" The shopkeeper became angry, his face was red and he pointed at the crowd with trembling hands: "There are many people selling vegetables outside, you should think about it!"

A few people hesitated for a moment, and were pulled away by the person next to them: "What are you thinking? Let's go, go back! I'd rather fry it myself than sell it to that bastard!"

"Get out!" Yu Liangji became upset and cursed at others.

"Let's go!" The big shopkeeper also led the people away angrily.

"Under Juren...?" The old village head was also angry, but he was angry with the shopkeeper, what?Dare to challenge the people from Shibalipu.

"I'm going to the county town tomorrow to find their boss!" Yu Liangji took a deep breath, feeling that the challenge came too fast, and the cooperation was good at first, but suddenly changed.

The next day, Shi Hongda took Yu Liangji to the county town. Of course, the richest man lived in the East District, a large mansion. Liu Wenxi knocked on the door and accepted the invitation, but there was no movement for a long time.

"Little master?" Liu Wenxi also felt that this family was too rude.

"Knock on the door again!" Yu Liangji sat in the car with a straight face.

Liu Wenxi had no choice but to knock on the door again, but no one answered at all!

"Is there anyone?" Liu Wenxi was furious, who is this?Return the richest man in the county?

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a young man stood there waving his hand, and said impatiently: "What are you arguing about? Our master is not here, so we can talk about it in a few days! Go away! Hurry up!" , if you don’t leave, I will call someone!”

"You are calling someone?" Liu Wenxi also lost his temper: "You are calling!"

That boy really called someone, the richest man's family has family guards, after all, the family also has a lot of wealth, and when this group of people came out, they would have a big wooden stick in their hands!

Liu Wenxi's expression turned pale!

"Get off!" The little servant said proudly, "Will anyone in our family be able to knock on the door?"

"Butler Liu, come back!" Yu Liangji turned pale with anger. Shi Hongda had already rode his horse and wanted to do something, but he didn't want to be called back by Yu Juren: "Hongda, let's go, we are not welcome, let's go to the county Ya."

After hearing this, the boy looked at them in confusion, why is it different from what the second lady and himself said?
