Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 165
Seeing that his son-in-law did not seem to be in trouble, Sun Yuhou was completely relieved: "That's good, that's good. I've made inquiries for you... There was a chicken plague in the spring, and there were not many chickens left in Shuangshui Village itself, let alone the white old rooster. , I guess you can’t buy it.”

"Dad, it's okay, forget it if you can't buy it." Wang Manyin replied, then got up and said, "You sit down first, I'll go next door to get something."

After entering the consignment point, Wang Manyin quickly entered the space.When he appeared in front of Sun Yuhou again, he had three big melons in his hand.

"Dad, I picked this in the morning. Eat one to cool off the heat, and take the rest back for Shaoping and the others."

Before the old man could refuse, he had already smashed the melon open.

This was the wish of his son-in-law, and Sun Yuhou did not refuse.

He still had to work for the production team in the afternoon, and after eating a melon quickly, he got up and left.

As for Wang Manyin, he sent his old father-in-law away and continued to lie on the kang to read.

He didn't bring rhubarb into the mountain until the afternoon became cooler.

I just took the opportunity to wait until I cut a bundle of firewood and carried it back.

With the skyrocketing growth of various plants in the space, Wang Manyin's family has no shortage of firewood.

But every once in a while, he still wants to come back from the mountains with bundles of firewood, and he will impress the villagers by the way.

It's still hot.

Even though Wang Manyin was walking in the shade of the cliff ditch, he still felt his sweat dripping out.After a while, smoke came out of my throat.

The sun is like a fire, which is not bad at all.

It was only a dozen days since the heavy rain, and the land had been completely dried out.

The leaves of many crops in the field are curled up, looking like they are about to be scorched.

But it's not a big problem, crops like corn, sorghum and millet are more drought-tolerant.As long as it is moistened with dew overnight, the farmland will still be full of vitality in the morning.

Of course, if the drought continues and there is no rain for months, people will really panic.

The weather was so hot that even Rhubarb didn't have the energy to look for the prey. He just stuck out his tongue and followed his master closely.

Wang Manyin walked through a cliff ditch, and from a distance, he could see many laborers in the village bending over and wielding hoes under the scorching sun.

Some wore white handkerchiefs on their heads, some wore straw hats, and some didn't even wear jackets on their upper bodies, their backs were tanned, and they were sweating greasyly.

Everyone lined up in a long line, and when they went down with a hoe, there were bursts of yellow dust in the field.

No way, in this era, farming has never been an easy task.

It wasn't until decades later, with the application of various agricultural machinery, that farmers' work became really easy.

But at that time, food was worthless.

Seeing that everyone was busy on the mountain plateau, Wang Manyin didn't have the nerve to approach, so he simply turned to another cliff ditch with Rhubarb.

After walking forward for a certain distance, he disappeared with rhubarb.

As soon as he entered the space, this guy rushed to the pond and kept licking the spring water.

Then when the interest came, the earth dog jumped into the water and swam, attracting many fishes to scurry on the water surface.

Wang Manyin was no exception, he took off his clothes and went to the shallow water area to take a bath.

After a short rest, he continued to dig the canal.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Wang Manyin swayed to the door of the house with a bundle of firewood on his back and a white rooster in his hand.

When Lanhua came back, she saw a big rooster tied to her cave, she was very surprised and asked: "Man Yin, where did you get this big cock, it's so beautiful, can it weigh four or five catties? Someone come Shall we sell it as a consignment?"

Although the self-owned consignment point collects native products, it has never received native chickens before.

"I went to the mountains to buy it in the afternoon... Didn't Director Guo ask me for something..." Wang Manyin briefly explained what happened in the morning, and told his mother-in-law not to spread it to the outside world.

Lanhua had witnessed people queuing up to fight chicken blood in the county, but she didn't expect that this wind would also blow to Shige Festival.But she kept her husband's words in her heart, so naturally she would not tell anyone else.

After dinner, Wang Manyin asked his mother-in-law to stay at home, while he took advantage of the night to deliver the rooster to Guo Chaowang.In addition, he also carried a few big melons in a cloth bag.

At this moment, Director Guo is eating with a bowl.

When he saw Wang Manyin coming with a big pure white rooster, he was both surprised and excited and said, "Manyin, you really got it. I was thinking that it would take a few days!"

"Uncle Guo, after your explanation in the morning, I was afraid of delaying the matter, so I asked a few villages early. After I couldn't find it, I went to the mountains on purpose, and luckily I bought it!"

Guo Chaowang stayed in Shige Festival for such a long time, so he naturally knew what was going on in the mountains, so he didn't ask much.

However, he was very satisfied when he saw this magnificent rooster, and hurriedly took out his money again and said, "Man Yin, I'm sorry to bother you, sit down and eat some more."

"Uncle Guo, I came here for dinner... It just so happens that people in the mountains don't know that white roosters are expensive, and the asking price is only a few cents a catty. This rooster didn't cost much at all. In addition, the melons grown at home, Here’s something new for you guys. Hurry up and eat with your aunt, I’m leaving.”

Before the two of them got up, Wang Manyin poured out the melon from the cloth bag, and left in a hurry.

"Chao Wang, the rooster in the mountains is so cheap, when will we ask Manyin to help buy two?" After sending the man away, Liu Sufang became more satisfied the more she looked at the big rooster.

"What do you buy? Do you really think that people in the mountains are stupid and don't know how much chicken is worth? You can buy it with a lot of money, so you must have thought about it." Guo Chaowang reprimanded, and said: "I have a few meat tickets here, you go to the sewing shop tomorrow When it's time, quietly give it to his mother-in-law."

He is very satisfied with Wang Manyin now, he has explained the matter and will take care of it for you immediately, so there is no need to worry about it.

When Lanhua came back the next day, she immediately took out some meat tickets and handed them to her husband.Said that Aunt Guo gave it quietly, but she refused to accept it, and the other party got angry.

"He thanked us for buying that rooster, please accept it."

Wang Manyin's family has no shortage of meat to eat, but he is very happy to be able to buy a few catties of meat openly.

***
As long as there is water to irrigate, alfalfa can be sown in spring, summer and autumn.

There were a lot of seeds in the warehouse of the second team, so just take them out.

When he was free, Wang Lianshun immediately sent several laborers to Dongshan Maoyagou to dig holes, water them, and throw seeds.As for Caragana... it can sprout in summer, but the key point is that they don't have any seeds for the time being, so they can only talk about it in autumn.

There are water canals at the head of the rice fields, and people don't have to go around long distances to carry water, so growing alfalfa is not a big deal, just like ordering beans.

Find a suitable location, dig a shallow pit with a hoe, throw a few seeds, cover it with soil, and pour two ladles of water to finish the job.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Wang Manyin was naturally embarrassed to be idle, and also carried a bucket to help water.

In half a day, a few people planted two cliff ditches scatteredly, and it is estimated that there will be four or five mu of land.

In fact, Wang Manyin has more ideas in mind.

In order to keep the alfalfa seeds germinating smoothly, he plans to have the opportunity to irrigate some space water in the cliff ditch later.

This can be... alfalfa is different from rice. No matter how vigorous the growth is, no one will come to estimate the yield. They will only think that the soil in the cliff ditch is fertile.
