The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 382 Digging a Canal

Then, Bai Meixi continued to ask, "Let's plan how to build this rice field! I want to plant 20 acres. Which location do you think is better?"

The choice of this location is actually a matter of knowledge. It must be convenient for walking and watering. Liu Mazi is more experienced in this regard, so it is better to ask him.

When Liu Mazi saw that things had become settled, he thought about the choice of this place, and later proposed it to Bai Meixi, "I think the place opposite the house is good. If you want to grow rice, you also need to consider the water source. Rice needs a lot of water, so you have to pay more attention to this."

This idea was similar to what Bai Meixi had in mind. She also felt that the opposite side of the house was rice. Standing in the house, she could see the grain in the distance, which was also a good thing.

However, the arrangement of this rice field is still a one-step process and requires a lot of work in the early stage.

First of all, water is a problem. Where does the water come from, and where does the excess water go? This is a troublesome matter.

"Uncle Liu, I want to add two more fish ponds next to the rice fields. In this way, the water in the fish ponds can water the rice fields in time, and when there is a lot of water in the rice fields, it can also be drained into the fish ponds in time. What do you think? Sample?"

Bai Meixi suddenly thought of a good idea, so she immediately told it to Liu Mazi.After hearing this, Liu Mazi was greatly surprised. This was indeed a good idea. Bai Meixi thought quickly and solved the problem in a short time. Her reaction was really fast.

"This is a good idea, but the work this time is quite big. Are you not going to do the wine cellar and cellar for the time being?"

Liu Mazi asked. In fact, they were doing whatever they were doing, and it didn't matter to him, but if they accepted the job in the rice fields now, they wouldn't be able to do other things.

Bai Meixi thought for a moment that what Liu Mazi said made sense, and it seemed that neither of these two things could be delayed.

It seemed that only four people could be separated.

"Let's do this. You and your eldest son dig canals first and divide the rice fields into pieces with canals. The canals are 50 centimeters wide, and the places where you need to pass are connected by thick wooden boards." Bai Meixi thought for a moment and then looked at it. Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu and her youngest son continue to work on the cellar and ice cellar. These two things need to be done at the same time without delay. See if there are any problems."

The four people answered in unison, "No problem." After saying this in unison, everyone in the room laughed.

Anyway, the soil in this space is very loose and can be peeled off even with your hands, let alone tools.And this ditch is very easy to dig, just like a child's beach toy. I believe it will take two hard workers to complete it in a short time.Besides, Bai Meixi didn't give them a time limit, it was all up to them.

Seeing that the work had been assigned, Bai Meixi's heart dropped.The work of this canal is not a trivial matter. It also takes some time for the Liu family and his son. She just took advantage of this time to purchase seeds so that the rice could be planted early.

At that time, the entire space opposite the house will be like a chessboard, surrounded by canals into grids. Rice will grow and sprout in it. It will be very happy to think about it.

After arranging all this, Bai Meixi returned outside.After eating a big meal in the space and solving a food problem, she felt in a good mood and became more energetic in designing drawings.

After a while, she selected three drawings that she was satisfied with and gave them to her sister-in-law.My sister-in-law was washing clothes, and Bai Meixi took the drawings and explained them to her, "Sister-in-law, look, I finally chose three designs. Which one suits you?"

The design of this piece is very simple and clear at a glance, and the style is also cute, which is very suitable for older girls of this age.The most important thing is that it is easy to cut and there are no complicated styles.

The sister-in-law raised her head and looked at the manuscript. She didn't expect Bai Meixi to design it so quickly. What she just mentioned in the morning was completed in the afternoon, which was very fast.Moreover, it seems that this manuscript was carefully made by Bai Meixi, because there are many traces of scratched lines on it. It is obvious that it was drawn and drawn carefully before being shown to myself.

"Meixi, thank you for your hard work." After seeing these three paintings, my sister-in-law showed a grateful smile. "I think these three paintings of yours are very good. Otherwise, give them to me. Wait. I’ll pick the right ones as I go along.”

She couldn't decide which one to choose for the moment, because in her eyes, the styles of these three clothes were all very beautiful.

When Bai Meixi arrived, she happily placed it on the stool next to her sister-in-law and said, "Okay, then you can make your choice later!"

For her, this design draft is of no use in her hands. It should be left to her sister-in-law. No matter which one her sister-in-law chooses, it has little to do with her.

After giving the design draft to her sister-in-law, Bai Meixi was not idle and went to the back mountain with a hoe.

The sweet potatoes have been harvested, and the barren hills cannot be idle. It’s time to make careful plans about what to plant.Although this barren mountain is just a cover for her to hide the things she grows, she still has to live with it, and she still needs to come here from time to time to take care of it.

When she went to the barren mountain, she saw that the ground was indeed empty. The soil was not loose yet, so she took a hoe and dug it.

It was evening before she knew it, and the sun was about to set, so she packed up and headed home.At this time, Yao Jiusheng appeared on the ground and met her face to face.

"Jiusheng, how are you doing recently?" Bai Meixi greeted Yao Jiusheng happily when she saw that Yao Jiusheng seemed to be taller now and that his face had a brighter look.

Yao Jiusheng immediately raised his head, and there was excitement in his eyes when he saw her, "Sister, I've been here several times but I haven't met you, and I don't dare to go to your house to look for you. Do you know what I wrote recently? My composition was praised by the teacher, and I read it in front of the whole class. Do you think I am great?"

I didn't expect Yao Jiusheng to be so good now, but the last time I learned that he had skipped to the third grade, Bai Meixi thought this child was smart, and it was normal for his composition to be praised by the teacher.

But she couldn't act too calm, otherwise it would make Yao Jiusheng sad.

Bai Meixi also showed a surprised look, and then looked at him with a look of admiration, "Jiusheng, you are so amazing, no wonder you can skip a level. Just wait, I will get you a reward!"

At this time, Yao Jiusheng stopped Bai Meixi and said, "Sister, you don't need to give me a reward. It was you who let me go to school in the first place. This is the best reward for me."
