The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 97
Mrs. Li Zheng accepted the money with a smile, and she didn't refuse any more, let alone official words. No matter what, she was even more happy that their family accepted this favor, and she looked forward to letting Chunxiang marry this family.

Lizheng saw that it was almost done, so he said goodbye to Mrs. Lizheng, and did not keep them in meditation. The main reason was that the family was really busy, digging ponds, butchering pigs, and stewing meat... Carrying sauerkraut to settle accounts is really exhausting.

After the family quieted down, Niu Laogen came with a sauerkraut altar and got off the donkey cart with his arms in his arms. He was a little embarrassed. In fact, although their family had a good life, they were not too rich, so look He was also tempted when he went to the village to sell sauerkraut. At Tian Guihua's urging, he came. In fact, Tian Guihua also wanted to come, but he persuaded him. To be stronger, the main reason is that I figured it out. After the last comprehension, Niu Laogen completely believed that she really missed her daughter, so he comforted her to bring her to Zhong's house to see her daughter if she had the opportunity, but it was not for sale. At the time of sauerkraut, the Zhong family disliked her, how ugly would it be to dislike her at this time? !
As soon as Niu Laogen came in, Shen Sisi smiled and said, "Why did Uncle Niu come at this time?!"

Niu Laogen smiled honestly, "I'm afraid your house is busy, I would rather come later..."

Shen Sisi asked Dabao to weigh him, and it counted as six cents a catty. Niu Laogen was very embarrassed and said: "Tu Niu, just let me be the same as the people in the village, how can I let you suffer?" Woolen cloth……"

Shen Sisi just smiled, "I won't be at a disadvantage, don't worry, Uncle Niu."

Niu Laogen saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he took the money, knowing that Niu Xiaohua was doing embroidery at this time, he didn't call her again, and drove back in the donkey cart.

The family finally calmed down, Shen Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm really busy, I've been busy with this all afternoon..."

After finishing the calculation, Dabao gave her the account book and said, "A total of 120, [-] cash has been paid..."

"...Well." Shen Sisi nodded, and said with a smile: "Although it took some effort to collect sauerkraut, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. We make this, but we earn half and half of the money. The net profit is more than 100 taels, which is not bad. of……"

Dabao smiled honestly, and said: "In the long run, it's really good, but it's still not as profitable as your base material. We're exhausted selling braised pork, and it's not as valuable as your base material." Well, hey..."

Shen Sisi smiled, "Don't be envious, don't underestimate this braised pork, it will make more money in the future..."

In the future, she will also want to sell the prescription, and it is best to sell out one place at a time.

Dabao smiled, but he didn't care too much, and started to move the jars with Sibao, and said with a pensive smile, "Leave the sauerkraut from Lizheng's house for us to eat at home. Alright, let’s eat pickled cabbage fish tonight too..."

The two were overjoyed and said with a smile, "Got it."

Then he moved the sauerkraut jar in Lizheng's house to the other side.

The sauerkraut produced by He Axiu and Niu Xiaohua will at least have to wait for spring to taste, so the three-pot sauerkraut is enough for the family to eat for a winter.

After more than a month, the fish pond at home was completed very quickly. Seeing the formed fish pond, Shen Sisi was very happy. After a lot of food, the house is finally a little cleaner...

Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Shen Sisi pulled Zhong Gensheng, who had lost weight due to hard work but also strengthened a lot, and said, "Father, get some lime powder and put it in the sun for disinfection, and after basking in the sun, wait for the spring to bloom." , pour water into it..."

Although Zhong Gensheng is thin and strong, his complexion is very good. Because of the good food, his skin is wheat-colored, but he is very healthy. He said with a smile: "It's almost Chinese New Year. After the first month is over and spring begins, there will be another family at home. I'm busy..."

"That's right..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "I have to irrigate, open orchards, buy fish, and cultivate land..."

Although there are only three acres of land in the family, it is food. If he does not plant it, Zhong Gensheng will feel uneasy. Farmers, even if they do these side jobs, they still have to plant land, because this is the foundation of a farmer...

Zhong Gensheng smiled, but didn't ask what was in the lime sprinkler, and hurried out to borrow a donkey cart to buy lime.

Shen Sisi looked at her backyard and smiled deeply. This place... will be her paradise, and she will make it the best place for her to live in. As long as time goes by, even if it is a wasteland, it will be a breeze in the future Suddenly, the sound of the water, the fragrance of the fruit forest, the vegetable fields and birds when you open your eyes, and the sound of wind and rain when you close your eyes, it is really a wonderful thing to live here for a lifetime until you get old... …

Zhong Gensheng's current efficiency is astonishing. He hurried there, estimated the amount of lime to be used, and brought back a truck full of lime.

A thick layer was sprinkled down, and even the slopes were also covered with a thick layer, and then some leftovers were all dried on the stalks and in the latrines.

Zhong Gensheng was sweating profusely from his busy schedule, but his face was full of smiles. Life at home has changed drastically this year, and he can only be happy.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, he is even happier. This year is finally an excellent year. Starting tomorrow, their family's life will really be different from before.

Fortunately, the pond was dug out before the weather turned cold. The weather turned cold, and the river began to freeze. Even when we got up in the morning, there was a thick layer of frost on the ground.

Shen Sisi and Zhong Gensheng went to the city a few more times, bought all the things at home for the New Year, and then started to cat winter at home, but most of the time the whole family stayed in the kitchen, because there was a constant fire , Stir frying, marinating meat, cooking every day... There is almost no rest time, it is really very warm, the family sometimes gathers around the table to do some chores, Niu Xiaohua and He Axiu also moved to the big kitchen Come to do embroidery work, all the things in the field are busy, now it’s cold, they can only do these things, fortunately, it’s not cold this year, and if it’s warm here, you don’t have to worry about your hands getting cold. In comparison, this is really great...

But because the firewood used at home is really powerful, and we use firewood for everything, the firewood at home is not enough. The speed of chopping and drying the four treasures can't keep up with the speed of burning. Unable to resist the usage at home, Shen Sisi also discussed with Zhong Gensheng: "...Father, the weather is bad now, and we can't cut firewood anymore. Let's buy some firewood for our family. Let's ask the village first. , let’s see which one has extra firewood, let’s buy it back, if we can’t buy it, let’s go to the city to see, maybe there are some other villages that sell it...”

Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "I have firewood, don't worry, there are so many families in this village, how can anyone use firewood like ours? I will ask, even if a family buys a catty, it will cost more than 200 catties." , don't worry, you don't need to go to the city, the ground is freezing, so it's true that you don't freeze when you enter the city..."

Zhong Gensheng went out after speaking.In fact, the villagers would go to the mountains to cut firewood when they had nothing to do, and there were a lot of people who had a lot of firewood at home, and they were reluctant to use it when they had nothing to do. They were all sold to him. Who would make the Zhong family willing to pay for firewood? After all, these things are everywhere in the mountain city. Except for the people in the city, they really can't sell them.

Therefore, Zhong Gensheng asked every household, and almost every household sold it. Now it became even more lively, and every family came to Zhong's house again with firewood. After selling sauerkraut, Zhong's family once again Get lively.

Zhong Gensheng brought out the scales from Dabao's family, and finally bought back more than 2000 catties.There was a sauerkraut altar in the front yard, but if it was put down, it was pushed to the cowshed and pigpen in the backyard. Anyway, their family collected two pigs at most every day, and one pig at home, and only three pigs. There is still a huge space in the circle, and it is good to put firewood. There is also a lot of piles in the side of the thatched cottage. It is really good for the house to be big, and the firewood room in the front yard is basically put down.

After paying the money and the villagers dispersed, he pondered and said with a smile: "Sibao, you won't need to chop firewood in the future, and our family doesn't need to expend such energy to chop firewood now. Just buy some. Now people Jinggui, I have something else for you to do..."

Sibao stared at her blankly, but he also knew that the family was so busy now that he must not have the time to cut the worthless firewood. It used to be because of poverty, but now he can be used in places where he is needed more. He actually knew it in his heart, but he didn't know why he was nervous, he felt like she missed him, and he didn't know what she asked him to do? !

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm going to build a processing workshop in the future, you can manage it later..."

"Workshop? What are you doing?!" Sibao looked at him blankly and said.

"Stir fry, our business will grow bigger in the future..." Shen Sisi chuckled lightly, and said calmly: "As long as you do well, you will get paid..."

Sibao immediately looked at her with wide eyes, full of suspicion and excitement. On the one hand, he had never seen wages. Although he could see so much money entering the account every day, he had touched and counted it but never owned it. This is too evil, God knows how uncomfortable it is to watch a large sum of money enter the account every day. On the other hand, Sibao also suspects that this girl has no good things for him, because he is really oppressed. A bit persecuted paranoia...

Seeing her staring at herself, Shen Sisi chuckled lightly and said, "I mean it's only when you do well, don't expect too much, my requirements are very high, I just remind you, wait until winter comes. However, this plan will start to be implemented soon, and you should learn more from Dabao recently..."

"..." Sibao accepted his fate bitterly, knowing that... nothing such a good thing happened, but he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Now that he was asked to collect the money somehow, he was a little uneasy. He thought silently, is this the so-called cheap life? !Hey, he has resigned himself to his fate. In his whole life, he might not be able to beat this girl...

As the twelfth lunar month slowly passes, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, every household is busy, and the smell of making bacon and fish wafts over. The Zhong family also wants to make some, but they are also extremely busy. I thought in my heart that if it was too late to do it, it would be the same to buy some from other houses, so I didn't worry about it.

On the day of Laba, the second treasure and the third treasure were given a day off by Mr. Lin. Looking at their happy faces, he couldn't help but ask them: "What have you learned now?!"

"'Four Books'," Er Bao said with a smile, "Our progress is already pretty fast. The master said that we are very savvy..."

"Yeah." Shen Sisi didn't test their minds, not to mention that in this era of stereotyped exams, she couldn't come up with questions, and she couldn't stand the literary ones.

"Study hard. There will be a big exam in the next year. I hope you two will try your luck. No matter whether you can pass the exam or not, at least try your best..." Shen Sisi said seriously: "Our family is working hard, and you also have your hard work." Don’t be biased, wait for you to pass the examination of Xiucai, you can take a break, and it’s up to you whether you want to take the exam again, but for Xiucai, the two of you must pass, understand?!”
