Chapter 39 Spring is Here (1)
After New Year's Eve, it is the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, Li Ran gave gifts to Su Bai, Uncle Zhu's family, the third grandma's family, the village head's family, and the shopkeeper Yang's family in the town.

Li Ran taught Aunt Li how to make sauerkraut, made a few jars, and gave some to Aunt Ma and Uncle Yang in the town.I went to buy hundreds of chickens and ducks to feed them, and put them in a large area by the back mountain stream.

Li Ran and Chen Shun went to the county to buy another ten people. Five of them belonged to a family. , there is an eighteen-year-old son Liu Shan, there is also a 15-year-old second son Liu Ming, and Liu Daniu's younger brother Liu Erniu is 20 years old.The men in the family are all good at work, and the Qin family looks clean and virtuous.

The other five people were all lonely and widowed, and they also came to sell themselves because there was no one in the family.

Li Ran brought ten people home, and arranged for Liu Danian and Qin Shi to live in the west chamber temporarily, and the rest lived in the front yard. Li Ran arranged for Qin Shi to follow Aunt Li to do housework, and the rest to follow Old Liu. The things in the busy field can be supported after they are done well.Now that there are more people in the family and more expenses, Li Ran has to open other shops as soon as possible.In the future, if there are more people, the front yard will not be able to live in it. We have to find a way to build some yards specially for these people to live in.

Li Ran thought about it, and acted vigorously.

Now that the spring plowing season has not yet entered, Li Ran arranged for people to build several rows of brick and tile houses on the right side of the yard, a total of thirty or so houses, including a large kitchen and a large dining room, which were surrounded by walls and opened separately. opened a door.

Li Ran let Chen Shun's family still live in the courtyard here, but the whole family moved to the front yard and cleaned up the west wing.Xia Yuxia also followed Li Ran and Li Heng. Old Liu still lives in the concierge, usually answering the door, and going to the field to help at other times.

The others all lived in the newly built courtyard, Liu Daniu and his wife shared a room, the rest shared a room with two, and the others were vacant, so there will be a place to live if someone comes in the future.The Qin family is now responsible for cooking everyone's meals, and the food and other items are collected in advance at the courtyard every day, and everyone eats here.Qin was too busy to cook alone, so Li Ran arranged for Chen Yun's daughter-in-law to help out every day.

Time flies, spring is here, the weather is getting warmer, and the temperature in the greenhouse is stable after all, so there is no need to increase the temperature.Now the peppers in the shed are already red, and the Chinese prickly ash is ready to bear fruit, and it will be ripe soon. Everything is so beautiful.

Li Ran arranged for a dozen or so big men in the family to dig out [-] acres of fertile land first. Because there was too much land, Li Ran bought two more oxen to plow the field, which saved a lot of effort.At this time, people who plant rice basically get it directly to the fields, and they don't know how to raise seedlings, so the yield is not so high.Li Ran recalled the seedlings he had seen in the countryside and taught Lao Liutou and others to raise seedlings. The other villagers looked down on Li Ran's way of raising seedlings, thinking that Li Ran was wasting seeds.

Li Ran didn't care about it, and continued to lead the people to sort out the rest of the low-grade fields. There was not much fertilizer, so Li Ran asked Liu Daniu to dig some soil from the mountain and sprinkle it into the field, using dead horses as live horse doctors Bar.

The dry land has also been turned over to grow corn and the like, and there are still a few acres of sandy land. I don’t know what to do?It would be great if there were watermelons. It would be good to grow watermelons in the sand. They just eat to quench their thirst in summer.I don’t know if there are watermelons in this era?

"Aunt Li, you have done it in a rich family before, right?" Li Ran asked Aunt Li who was cleaning the table, resting her chin.
