Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 208 208 Do You Know Rapeseed?
The place where their new home is located is already on the outskirts of Yonghe Town. There is no need to take a detour when they come out of their home. There is only a row of houses in front of them, and a small alley is just diagonally opposite.

The alley is only 30 meters long, and when you go out, you will see a field, almost all of which are corn and sorghum.

But that's right, the shorter crops are almost all blocked by corn and sorghum.

The development of human beings is inseparable from the water source. Xiang'an Village lives by the water, and this Yonghe Town is naturally built by the water.

The river passed by the side of Yonghe Town and flowed in the direction of Xiang'an Village.

But the river is on the other side, so the paddy fields are almost concentrated there, and it will be more convenient to store and release water.

This side is almost entirely dry land.

The land that Li Changhui bought at that time, for the sake of convenience, he also bought all the land here, and concentrated it in a whole area, so that it would be more convenient to take care of it or take care of it.

As for the paddy field, we will talk about it later.

"Mother, look, that's our family's land over there. Dad said that the pigsty can be built in half a month at most, and it will be no problem to raise forty or fifty pigs by then."

Forty or fifty pigs are not a lot, and it can even be said to be a lot.

There are not many farmers who raise pigs, and 90.00% of them only raise one or two pigs. If there are too many pigs, they will not be able to handle them, especially when they are not harvested.

"I see, is the chicken coop already set up?"

The pigsty should be firm, but the chicken coop doesn’t need to be so troublesome. After all, it’s free-range. It’s enough to build a few simple huts and use thatch to make more chicken coops for laying eggs.

"The place to raise the chickens has already been fixed, but I heard from my father that I need to find someone to weave more bamboo baskets."

"What are weaving bamboo baskets for?"

"Put thatch or straw on it for the chickens to lay eggs. This kind of chicken coop is not easy to break."

Li An doesn't know about chicken coops and bamboo baskets, but he knows about eggs. When his brother talked about eggs, he quickly clapped his hands: "Eggs, Eggs~"

The little guy is still a little slurred in his speech, and he can't say two different words in a row, but at this moment, he can understand what an egg is.

That is a good thing he often eats when he is hungry.

Lin He rubbed the little guy's head: "Okay, go home and eat balls later."

"Look, mother, that's our pigsty. When I came to look for dad just now, there were still people working in the field. Now they've all gone back."

In fact, Lin He had seen it without Li Hao's reminder. The foundation of the pigsty had already been laid, and four holes had been dug, separated by two.

At that time, lay bluestone slabs on the bottom and surroundings of the pit, and then fill the gaps with things, so as to prevent the things in the cesspit from leaking.

It was only when she arrived in the town that Lin He realized that there were also inconvenient things in the town—for example, the chamber pot she was not used to, but now she had to use it.

There are more people in the town, and almost everyone gathers together to eat, drink and drink together. There are more wells in the town than in the village, and there are also outside the town.

But the water for eating and drinking can't be close to the cesspit, so people in the town use chamber pots and pour them the next day. Money will do.

Lin He resolutely chose to find someone for money, Li Changhui had no objection at all, anyway, the two of them never considered doing it themselves.

And when they built the pigsty, they also deliberately chose a lower terrain, at least a lower terrain than the town's well.

I heard from Li Changhui that the water used for eating and drinking by the wealthy families in the town is specially given to the servants to pick it from the mountains, and they don't know how to use the wells in the town.

Lin He didn't pay much attention, anyway, the town is full of clean well water, and everyone loves it.

Four manure pits, ten pig pens, even if the other two pig pens are used to raise sows, the rest can raise a lot of pigs, anyway, it is enough.

Lin He dragged the two children around in a circle, not approaching, for fear that the children would accidentally fall.

Standing here and looking around, Yonghe Town is indeed a little bit uphill, and the location of their pigsty is also far away from Yonghe Town.

It is also the middle part of their ten acres of land.

From here to Yonghe Town, there is a large piece of land, and there is also a piece of land on the hillside behind.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the last ray of light shone on the hillside. Lin He's heart moved, and he looked towards the hillside.

It's not steep, just a very common slope. At this moment, the thorns and weeds on it are almost cleaned up, leaving only some tall trees that have not been cut.

Lin He calculated the time in his mind and decided to go to the mountain to see it tomorrow.

"Little lady, are you the daughter-in-law of the Li family?"

An aunt passed by, stopped when she saw Lin He, and looked at her in surprise.

During this period of time, the news that someone bought ten acres of land here spread around. After all, people came to work here every day, and everyone paid close attention to it.

Lin He returned to his senses, nodded with a smile: "The child's father's surname is indeed Li, who is your aunt?"

The aunt was immediately happy, and pointed to the wasteland behind Lin He that had been tidied up: "My men have been working here recently. Mr. Li is a good man. He pays his wages every night and never defaults."

It's not easy to make some money, and it's even more difficult to meet a boss who can give money so straightforwardly. No wonder my aunt is a little excited.

Lin He smiled: "That's because Uncle does a good job."

It's a bit awkward to hear others call you Master Li. After all, Li Changhui is only in his twenties. In Lin He's view, he is in his prime. This "Master" even calls people old.

But she didn't have to correct me either.

She felt that she was not used to it. To others, it was just a common address. When working in their house, calling her Mrs. Madam or something to show respect had no other meaning.

Lin He said a few words to the aunt, knowing that she was going home to cook, so he said goodbye to her, and took the two children to the side to have a look.

Ten acres of wasteland, after half a month of busy work, almost all of them have been sorted out.

Lin He calculated the time in his mind. For the time being, he could plant a little buckwheat first. The yield of buckwheat is not high, but it is not enough to feed him, and he can sow it all year round.

By October, wheat can be planted.

I don't know if there are potatoes here. If there are, according to the climate here, they should be sown in the twelfth lunar month.

It's a pity that she hasn't seen potatoes yet.

Lin He wandered around the field, and went back with nothing to see. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Li Changhui coming out of the kitchen.

"I'm going to call you guys. I made vegetable porridge tonight, and the steamed buns didn't have time to rise, so I went to buy some. You don't feel well today, so eat something lighter."

Lin He also smelled the smell of scallions and eggs, and sighed in his heart, it was a very wise move to teach Li Changhui to cook.

"By the way, Brother Hui, I just went to the field to check. The corn can be broken soon, and the sweet potatoes can also be dug, right?"

After thinking about it, I finally asked him: "Brother Hui, do you know rapeseed?"
