Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 248 248 Changes
Jiang Hu has also bought a lot of wasteland in the past few years, and he still has some experience, but the village chief told him that it was his own wish.

Put away the certificate written by the village head, and go to the city tomorrow morning to get the land deed. This land belongs to their family and can be disposed of at will.

Jiang Hu is also more keen on buying wasteland now because it is cheap!
It stands to reason that the wasteland is desolate and overgrown with weeds, leaving countless weed seeds and roots. In the first few years of land reclamation, almost all of them had to fight against the weeds in the ground.

In addition to this, the barren land has very poor nutrients, and the crops in the past few years have been extremely low.

This is the consensus of all farmers.

So if you want to buy land, as long as you have enough money, good land is the first choice. Among other things, at least the grain output is high, which can fill the stomachs of the family, and the rest can be sold for money.

If this is barren land, even if they didn't pay grain tax for the first three years, the barren land probably won't yield much, and the family's labor will be wasted in vain.

In the eyes of most people, someone like Jiang Hu who buys ten acres of wasteland is stupid.

Even if Jiang Hu is building a pigsty, who can build a pigsty as big as ten mu of land? Even if two sows are raised, it won't take such a big space?
Well, even if it was to build a pigsty, the village head and Zhang Yuan still felt that Jiang Hu's purchase of the wasteland was due to something wrong with his mind.

In particular, I also heard that Jiang Hu will look for permanent labor in the future. In the past few years, the wasteland, I am afraid that it is even more difficult to make ends meet.

But no matter what, Jiang Hu is not a native of Xiangmu Village, even if the village head and Zhang Yuan feel that this is not good, they can't say anything more.

Immediately, Jiang Hu told the village chief that he was looking for someone to build a pigsty, and he also took out the pigsty design by the way.

This design drawing was described verbally by Xiaomi and drawn by Uncle Liu.

It is the style of a pigsty shed that Xiaomi has seen in her previous life. The pigsty is on both sides, and there is a walkway in the middle. Walking through the middle, you can feed the pigs on both sides.

The pigsty was four and a half feet high, with no walls, only beams and a roof.

The reason for this is mainly for ventilation.

After asking about her mother, Xiaomi was surprised to find out that her ambition is not small.

Originally, I thought it would be enough for my mother to raise a few sows, but I didn't expect that my mother was only talking about a few sows, but she forgot to say that the piglets born by the sows are all raised and not sold!
This is intended to be self-produced and sold. As long as a few sows are raised, a sow averages two litters of piglets per year, and a litter of ten piglets means twenty.

If there are three sows, then...

Xiaomi even saw the day when his family raised fifty or sixty pigs.

After Xiaomi knew the news, he decisively 'photographed' this pigsty.

No matter what you raise, the most important thing is to ventilate and keep the air circulating. This alone can prevent most diseases.

Although Uncle Liu was shocked by Erniang's sudden "ambition", he was also happy with Erniang's high fighting spirit, and he had no intention of persuading Erniang at all.

Not only that, even Liu Bo added his own ideas to Xiaomi's ideas.

That is, the beams and bamboos of the house are made stronger, and the wood is used well, and then a layer is added on top of the pigsty, which is specially used as a warehouse for pigweed and sundries.

After all, if you raise so many pigs, you must prepare enough food at all times, so you must make room for them.

Although the Jiang family's yard is big enough to fit all of them at home, it's too tiring to move around.

When the time comes, put Xiao Hei's child on the other side of the pigsty with a little training, and he can guard the pigsty and pigweed without any worries.

After all, with Xiao Hei in front of him, Xiao Hei's child will definitely not be bad, and he will definitely be as smart and capable as his mother!
"Look, village chief, this is the pigsty I'm going to build. I've found a few masters who specialize in building houses for people, and I need about a dozen more to do chores."

Jiang Hu has seen the drawings countless times, and he is very calm: "Anyway, I am looking for someone. If the fat and water don't flow to outsiders, I want to ask the people in the village first."

Although I have told Zhang Yuan before, this is the village head after all, so it is necessary to mention it to him.

But now, the village chief's mind was obviously not on Jiang Hu's voice. When he saw the blueprint that Jiang Hu had unfolded, his eyes widened.

"This, is this a pigsty?" He even stretched out his hand and counted: "One, two, three... seven, eight, nine, nine on one side, eighteen pigsty?"

By the end, the voice was a little out of tune.

Just this pigsty is as big as those few landlords' houses, or even bigger than the houses for farmhands and slaves.

But there are dozens of people living in a row of houses. Jiang Hu is raising pigs!

The eyes of Zhang Yuan next to him were also straightened, but he could tell before that a big pigsty was going to be built, otherwise he wouldn't have found someone.

However, he never thought it would be so big!Bigger than his house!

Jiang Hu didn't think it was a big deal. In the past, there were hundreds of chickens and rabbits at home. The chicken coop and the rabbit coop were big.

So Jiang Hu just nodded calmly: "Yes, the child's mother wants to raise more pigs, and has already ordered all the sows in the next litter with Brother Zhang Yuan. Naturally, this pig pen must be bigger."

The village head gritted his teeth, took a breath, and looked at Jiang Hu in disbelief.

But after being shocked, I still remembered the business.

"Approximately how many people do you want? The eldest and the second in my family are both good at work, and they don't cheat or play tricks. Can I let them come together?"

Jiang Hu nodded: "Of course, just come over when the time comes."

Then he talked about the start time of construction, asked the village chief if he thought the work was good, and recommended four or five, plus the ones introduced by Zhang Yuan, it was almost the same.

Zhang Yuan, just like Liu Yang back then, was the first one in the village to approach the Jiang family.

And looking for a recommendation from the village head can be regarded as letting the village head know that the new Jiang family is not the kind who ignores the village and is willing to get closer to the village.

This was a friendly signal, indicating that although the Jiang family lived in the big courtyard, they were also from Xiangmu Village and would not be so xenophobic.

After leaving the village head's house, Zhang Yuan took him to find other people. Anyway, he was fine, so he planned to go to all the houses recommended by the village head and Zhang Yuan, which could be regarded as getting acquainted in the village.

It's funny to say, it's been two months since I've been in the village, and it's still as if I just moved here, and I don't know anyone well.

What Zhang Yuan said was because he passed his breath in advance and was sure that he would come, so Jiang Hu asked again, and he agreed again and again.

Those recommended by the village head did not say hello in advance, but they also heard that the new Jiang family wanted to build a pigsty, and no one refused.

This money-making thing is still in the village, so close, and you have to pay a copper coin before you have to work, who would be stupid enough to refuse.

Walking down this circle will take more than half an hour, and it will not be easy.

"By the way, brother Zhang Yuan, are you free?" Jiang Hu suddenly asked Zhang Yuan on the way back.

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "It seems that there is nothing wrong recently, what's wrong, Brother Jiang, sister-in-law is looking for Chunhua?"

"No." Jiang Hu shook his head.

"Lunch is included for this job, and our family has a lot of things to do, so we want to find someone outside to cook for [-] copper coins a meal. If my siblings want to come, I won't find someone else."

"Come, come!" Zhang Yuan nodded without even thinking about it: "Certainly, Brother Jiang, you really found the right person. Chunhua's cooking is delicious, and she often helps people cook noodles."

"Really, that's great. You guys will come over together on the day the work starts."

There is no doubt that having a cook who cooks delicious food can greatly improve the motivation to work.

On the next day, Jiang Hu really went to the city early in the morning. Naturally, there were special officials for handling the land deed, so that the higher-ups would not be alarmed.

However, before setting off, Jiang Hu deliberately wrapped a few red envelopes.

In the past few years, he has been familiar with finding someone to do things. Sometimes, a little money can save time, effort and worry.

However, to Jiang Hu's surprise, all the red envelopes he was going to send out were rejected, and the journey went smoothly.

Especially the official who handled the title deed, after careful inquiry, he handled the title deed for him without any embarrassment at all.

From entering to leaving, the whole journey took less than two quarters of an hour.

In the end, Jiang Hu had to sigh, this county government office is really still a breeze and a bright moon!

Xiaomi, who accidentally overheard his father's emotion, said that it was obviously because someone from above said hello, so it went so smoothly, okay?

But these are not important. What is important is that the Jiang family's pigsty has started work!

On the eighth day of April, following Jiang Hu's first hoe, and a total of fifteen people including professional masters, they became busy in full swing.

We first built a simple pavilion, not far outside the pigsty, so that Chunhua could cook easily.

Then clear the weeds and thorns, and some wild trees.

Jiang Hu found a place without big trees to build a pigsty. This place happened to be on the edge of ten acres of wasteland, close to a small stream.

When the pigsty is covered, the pot for cooking pig food will also be near the creek, and it will be convenient to carry water at that time.

Everyone got busy in full swing, Jiang Hu and Qixi also went to help, and ate lunch together there.

It is not easy for Erniang and Aunt Yang to take care of the children and the elderly at home, and to prepare food for the other chickens, ducks and geese in the family.

But Erniang was also curious about what the pigsty looked like, so she liked to stand by the pool and look over there.

It just so happened that Xiaomi came over with her today, looking at her mother, and then at the stream in front of her, she simply pulled her arm.

"Mother, let's build a small bridge here, so it will be more convenient to go to the pigsty in the future, and we don't have to take a long detour from there."

As he said that, he pointed, but the nearest small bridge was 500 meters away from them.

And the pigsty is directly opposite the water pool. If there is a bridge here, the straight-line distance is only 30 meters, okay?
"Build a bridge?" Er Niang nodded Xiaomi's eyebrows: "This pigsty has not been built yet, and I want to build a bridge again."

Xiaomi pouted: "It's not difficult. Didn't Dad and the others just dig up two trees yesterday? The creek is only five or six feet wide, and a wooden bridge can be built with a few vertical tree trunks."

The wooden bridge is the simplest. Dig a little on both sides of the creek, then put a few tree trunks in side by side, and then fill the ends with soil. Don’t worry about loosening at all, okay?

Of course, if you are willing to work harder, put a thick stone in the middle of the creek, and then put bluestone slabs on both sides of the stone and the creek, this stone bridge will be completed.

"If it's close, won't it be close for Dad and Uncle Qixi to go home? Besides, if we raise pigs there in the future, we will have to build a bridge sooner or later."

Erniang listened, thought for a moment, then raised her head: "Brother Hu, come here."

Xiaomi blinked, feeling that her current mother seemed to be more decisive than before.

With this posture, it is clear that he is going to tell his father about it.

Jiang Hu came over wiping the sweat from his forehead: "What's wrong, Er Niang?"

Erniang was also unambiguous, and pointed to a place upstream of the pool: "Let's build a bridge here, just build a wooden bridge with long tree trunks, and it will be convenient to go back and forth."

Jiang Hu looked back, he had just cut down two cypress trees, and there were three more, all growing in the place where the pigsty was going to be built.

This cypress tree is not small, it is as thick as the mouth of a bowl, if it is used to make a wooden bridge, it is really suitable.

"Well, when the remaining cypress trees are dug out, a small wooden bridge will happen to be built. Anyway, after the pigpen is built, a bridge will also be built."

"Well, I think so too."

"Then I'll go back first. I should be able to dig out those three trees this afternoon and build a bridge tomorrow morning."

The left and right are paid on a daily basis, so it is not difficult to ask everyone to help deal with the cypress trees.

After Jiang Hu finished speaking, he turned around and left again. When he was talking to Erniang just now, he was also separated by the pool in front of him.

Xiaomi looked at his father's back, then at his mother, and suddenly felt that not only his mother had changed, but also his father had changed.

No matter what my father did in the past, he would think for a long time first, and weigh whether it would affect the children, especially whether it would affect Xiaomi's reputation.

But now, it seems that he is not so indecisive anymore?

He tugged on Mother's sleeve again: "Mom, why did you and Daddy agree so quickly? In the past, they would discuss for a few days before hesitating for a few days before making a final decision."

No matter what happened, it seemed to be the same. Even the expansion of the pheasant coop had been discussed by the couple for a long time.

The main content of the discussion is nothing more than whether it will have any significant impact on outsiders' perception of Xiaomi's "Little Lucky Star" name.

Xiaomi asked her own question in confusion, but Erniang smoothed the hair on the back of her head and led her back.

"I used to be in Fu'an Village. Everyone knew that you were a little lucky star. No matter what our family did, there were many pairs of eyes staring at you, and they still stared at you."

"But now, no one knows what a little lucky star is, and they won't watch you every day to see if you're doing your best and bringing good luck to the family. In this case, parents don't have to be restrained when they do things."

Xiaomi was surprised: "So we moved in such a sneaky way?"

Er Niang knocked her: "What are you sneaking around, we just left early."

Xiaomi sticks out her tongue, okay, leave early, leave early.

Anyway, she knew how much her parents had done for her from before to now.
