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

Chapter 318 318 Vegetable seedlings grow well
What I discussed with Li Changhui before, I mentioned it to the three aunts again today.

These three aunts have also worked in their house for quite a long time. From Lin He's point of view, their cooking skills may not be very good, but the workers all eat happily, which shows that they are satisfied.

Moreover, Lin He asked them to be clean, wash the vegetables carefully, boil the chopsticks in boiling water after washing the dishes, and then drain the water upside down, etc. They didn't complain, but followed them one by one.

It is precisely because of this that Lin He did not immediately reduce the number of people who cook after the number of people who ate at first decreased.

Now that he took the initiative to find them, Lin He simply told them about his future plans and arrangements.

"It's not just the leeks and shallots I mentioned, but there will be all kinds of similar work in the future. Although it's a bit late, I had people plant a lot of cowpeas and cucumbers a few days ago, and they should be ready for transplanting soon. .”

"For the cooking, you guys should do it in the next two days, or come over at this hour and cook alone, while the other two help clean up the chicken rings and pick up eggs."

"When it's time to transplant vegetable seedlings, you will leave one person to cook, and the other two will go to work on other things. Of course, there will be other wages and prices for future work. The specifics will not be known until then."

A few days ago, nearly half a catty of cucumber seeds, as well as pumpkin, winter melon, cowpea, pepper and other seeds were sown. We all know that, and many people whispered in private, thinking that the owner's brain is broken.

It's almost May, and it's obviously too late to plant these now.

But Lin He didn't care, it was too late, but if you watered frequently, the temperature would be high, the germination would be fast, and with the help of spiritual power, the harvest would not be low.

Besides, recently she specially found two and a half-year-old children to go to the mountain to collect sheep dung lumps.

Every time after herding the sheep, I go up with the adults in the afternoon, wait for the flock to leave, and then collect the sheep manure on the ground, five yuan per person, less than half an hour a day.

The retrieved sheep dung lumps are poured into the latrine, fermented with pig manure, and can be used to irrigate crops at that time.

In addition, chicken, duck and goose manure also needs to be fermented. Animal excrement cannot be watered directly, but needs to be fermented, otherwise it is easy to burn the crops.

When the family has more livestock and more manure, no matter whether it is growing vegetables or crops, there is no need to worry about manure.

Lin He talked a lot with the aunts, especially told them that after a while, there will be a special manager who manages everyone's work.

He also emphasized that that person is specialized in doing this, and when the time comes to divide the work, the wages will be more detailed.

This can be regarded as saying hello to everyone in advance, to build up momentum for Li Changqiang, and save in case someone is dissatisfied when the time comes, of course, this situation should be relatively rare.

After sending the three aunts away, Lin He realized that his mouth was dry. He had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, but now he kept talking and forgot to drink water.

Counting the time, it has been almost ten days since Li Changhui sent a letter to the town. Their family's wasteland has been opened up a lot in the past ten days. After all, there should be a reply.

They asked Li Changqiang to come over to help. Naturally, he did have experience in this field, and they believed him.

As for dragging the uncle's family, it can only be one of the very small reasons. Of course, when they first settled in Xiang'an Village, the uncle's family took good care of them, which is also an indisputable fact.

The relationship is good, and they really need people. Anyway, they are looking for others, so why not just find their own people.

Besides, it is appropriate to find a manager who can keep accounts and calculate accounts, and let him go to the field every day to guard, and calculate the wages for any work every day. It is estimated that few people are willing to do it.

Especially chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, there are a lot of them, and they have to touch these, and they have to check whether the pigsty and chicken coop have been cleaned, etc. After much deliberation, Li Changqiang is indeed the most suitable for this job.

Of course, since he was here as a manager this time, the monthly salary is naturally quite a lot.

Lin He is even preparing to build another small yard in the farm for Li Changqiang's family to live in.

They stayed in Nanzhi County, and they would definitely not leave in a short time. The fields here will need people to take care of them for a long time.

It is naturally inappropriate for a young couple to be separated all year round. The best way is for the whole family to come and the children to study in the county.

If Li Changqiang came, with their wages as support, the younger siblings could also work in the fields to earn some pocket money and support their children to study, so it would not be a problem at all.

Even if the child can't get on the road to fame and fame, but he has read books, knows characters, has gone to school, and has experience, he still needs to do things better.

Just like the second uncle back then, not only did he go to Guanzhou Mansion with his master, his eldest son is a talented wife, his eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of a merchant, and there are several shops under his door.

As for the other children and grandchildren, if there is no accident, they will also settle down in Guanzhou Prefecture.

In comparison, other people who also studied in Yonghe Town did not have this opportunity, and they have been farming in the village until now.

And their children have become people from two worlds.

Lin He pondered, drank a bowl of water, it was still early, so he simply went to the field again.

Just now I was talking to a few aunts about planting vegetables, and I happened to go to see them again today. It’s been five or six days, and they should grow.

When passing by the paddy field, I saw a few people spreading cow dung into the paddy field filled with water. In two or three days, we can plant rice seedlings.

Not all fields can be used as paddy fields.

Paddy fields need a lot of water to store water, so paddy fields are usually near the river, and then a ditch is dug to divert water from upstream to the paddy fields.

When the water is not needed, just block the upstream ditch.

Lin He passed by, and the workers greeted him one after another. Lin He nodded and moved forward to see the vegetable seeds that had been sown before.

"Ma'am, the weather is hot these days, and the seedlings are growing fast, but the weather is so hot, I'm afraid it's not easy to pick them alive."

Someone was holding a bundle of bamboo leaves and branches, and was putting them one by one on top of the growing vegetable seedlings to block the sun.

Lin He looked at the vegetable seedlings on the ground, and was a little surprised: "It has grown so big so quickly, can it be transplanted?"

It's only been a few days, and the vegetable seedlings are almost as tall as your fingers.

"Yes, yes, but the weather is too hot."

Recently, he poured water on the vegetable field every morning, and then used the leaves to shade it. If the vegetable seedlings were all dead because of the heat, he would definitely feel distressed.

Lin He walked around the field and warmed the vegetable seedlings with spiritual power.

"It's okay, after planting it, water it every day, and it will grow well."

It's a big deal, she ran to the vegetable field more frequently, and it would be fine if she came here every day.
