Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 15

Su Jingsen had to borrow 300 taels of silver if he wanted to buy all the land from Landlord Wang's family. 300 taels is not a small amount. For an ordinary family, if they save ten taels of silver a year, they are already considered well-off families.

Like the Su family, they couldn't even save five taels of silver in previous years.Every year is just enough to eat and a tile to cover.

So after much deliberation, the two of them had to make a decision—open up wasteland and farm, and buy the Yang family's ten acres of land by the way.In this way, the family has a total of 75 mu of land.Su Jingsen can never be too busy alone.

It's better to talk about my own land and Yang's. The fields are all tidied up, and it will be enough to shovel and shovel the grass in March.But the wasteland must be dealt with as soon as possible, so as to catch up with the spring sowing.Because the land was very close to the river, Su Jingsen planned to plant some rice.

After going to Lizheng to explain the situation, Lizheng called the Yang family over very readily, and changed all the land deeds in front of the two families.After confiscating these title deeds, only the wasteland by the river was left, and there was no way to make decisions in these places, so she turned to Su Jingsen and asked, "When do you think you are free, let's go to the county and settle the matter as soon as possible." Done, you can start to take care of those lands."

"It's true, I'm free every day." Su Jingsen said with a smile, Lizheng thought about it, then nodded and said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Let's go tomorrow. I just want to give some to my kid." something."

The children of Lizheng's family have already passed the Tongsheng examination.That child was the same age as Su Zhiping, and he passed the Tongsheng examination at a young age, so Liucun could count him as promising.Now I am studying in the county, and I only come back once a month.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow. I'll drive an ox cart to pick you up tomorrow, right?" Su Jingsen nodded and said with a smile, "You know, those two boys from my family are going to study in town this year, so I have to pick you up every day." When they come back, let’s go to the county, and it’s probably already afternoon when we come back.”

"Okay." Li Zheng smiled, and patted Su Jingsen on the shoulder: "You are lucky, you two boys, I think they are very smart, and they will definitely have great achievements in the future. Now Hao Ming is studying in the county. , when the two of them go to the county in the future, Hao Ming can also take care of them."

Su Qinghe couldn't help taking a sneak peek at Lizheng, he could talk here, and he didn't know the qualifications of Su Zhiping and Su Zhian at this moment, so he dared to pull Su Jingsen to make friends.

However, Li Zheng was able to look at their family differently, there were only advantages and no disadvantages, Su Qinghe definitely couldn't tell Song Haoming not to take care of his two older brothers at this moment.

"Thank you, Lizheng. It's up to those two boys to do their best. Don't worry, Lizheng, as long as they do their best, they will definitely be able to keep company in the county in the future." Su Jingsen was not a fool, and immediately smiled. Replied.

Li Zheng nodded very satisfied, and made an exception and sent them to the entrance of the yard.

Su Qinghe was led by Su Jingsen's hand and walked home. She looked up at Su Jingsen's smiling face, rolled her eyes, and shook Su Jingsen's hand with a smile: "Father, are you going to the county tomorrow? I'm going too."

"What are you going to do? Dad is going to the county government. He is very busy. When the time comes, be careful to kidnap and sell you away." Su Jingsen pinched Su Qinghe's small nose and smiled. Su Qinghe pouted and grabbed Su Jingsen's arm: "Then Let the mother go too, I have never been to the county."

"Father, take me there, I promise to be obedient." Su Qinghe acted coquettishly and shamelessly without any psychological barriers. Su Jingsen also accepted her tricks, and she hesitated when she shook her arm twice. Su Qinghe hurriedly made persistent efforts: "Father, take Let me go, take me, I want to see what the county looks like, if the houses in the county look good, our family will also build like the houses in the county."

It cost 50 taels of silver to buy the wasteland, and 50 taels of silver for the Yang family's land, plus a gift for Lizheng, and the money for tomorrow, the Su family now has more than 100 taels of silver.Therefore, Su Jingsen and Su Zhang decided to build a house.

After all, Su Zhiping is already 11 years old, and if he gets married in his fifteenth or sixteenth year, it will not be a few years now.I got up early in my new house, so I feel at ease.

Su Jingsen dotes on her daughter very much, watching her act coquettishly for a long time, and finally agrees: "Okay, okay, I will take you to the county tomorrow, and your mother will also go, let's go to the restaurant tomorrow for dinner, and let my daughter also visit the restaurant. What's it like?"

Just entering the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Su Zhang also heard this, and cast a sidelong glance at Su Jingsen: "Our daughter is very lucky, are you afraid that you won't have the chance to visit the big restaurant in the future? Have you agreed with Li Zheng today?"

"Well, just go to the county government to file a record tomorrow." Su Jingsen replied with a smile, and told Su Zhang what he had talked at Lizheng's house.Su Qinghe was bored, so she simply carried her little basket and went out.

This small basket was used by Su Qinghe when picking wild vegetables.

Although it is almost February, the spring is cold and it is still a little cold outside.Su Qinghe took her own rabbit fur sleeves, and wandered out to the river.Maybe there are duck eggs by the river, and I can pick up two of them.

"Hey, Qinghe?" As soon as he reached the river, he heard someone shout, Su Qinghe turned around, and saw Yang Zi sitting on the stone by the river.Su Qinghe walked over: "Brother Yang Zi, what are you doing here?"

"I didn't do anything, what did you come to the river?" Yang Zi smiled and pulled Su Qinghe's braid twice, Su Qinghe pulled the braid back: "Come and play, brother Yang Zi, why don't you go to school today?"

Yang Zi also studied in the town, but he studied three years earlier than Su Zhiping and Su Zhian.

"I don't want to go today. My husband said, I can try for the junior students, so I will study at home by myself during this time. Qing He, your eldest brother and second brother have both gone to study, so you are at home by yourself, what are you doing?" ?”

Yang Zi asked curiously, Su Qinghe squatted down to dig wild vegetables by the river: "I'm not playing, I have to study, I have to do work, I'm very busy. Brother Yang Zi is free, sit here and talk to me now."

"Are you studying? What book are you studying? How many words do you know now?" Hearing Su Qinghe talk about reading, Yang Zi immediately became a little interested, and leaned down to look at Su Qinghe: "Let me see if you are reading correctly."

Su Qinghe rolled her eyes, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I can read the thousand-character essay, brother Yang Zi, listen carefully——Tian Xuan Di Huang..."

Su Qinghe recited it neatly. This was memorized from reading Su Zhiping's book. There were only a thousand words, and Su Qinghe could memorize it after two days. It was just that Su Zhiping and the others had just started reading, and Su Qinghe didn't dare to show it off. It's a good opportunity.

Yang Zi looked surprised: "That's right, Xiao Qinghe, you can actually recite a thousand-character essay, so can you write it?"

Su Qinghe shook her head embarrassingly: "I can only know a few, can Brother Yang know?"

"Brother Yang Zi of course, otherwise, I will teach you?" Yang Zi said enthusiastically, pulled two reeds from the side, shared one with Su Qinghe, and began to draw on the ground: "Tian Xuan Di Huang..."

Su Qinghe traced along. She can match the characters now, but if she doesn't pay attention, she will miss one or two strokes, so she needs to make more contacts.Moreover, brush calligraphy is really not just something you can write, you have to have a strong character or something.Su Qinghe doesn't seek strength of character now, but only wants to be able to write in the same size and neatly.

"Qinghe is really smart." Yang Zi might as well Su Qinghe could write down after reading it just once. He was very surprised and even more interested: "Come on, there are too few thousand-character texts. Let's write the Three-Character Classic. I will write it down first." Teach you to read."

Su Qinghe nodded repeatedly, with Yang Zi as a cover, she would definitely be able to read by herself earlier.

After studying for a while, Yang Zi said he wanted to go home, but Su Qinghe didn't care, seeing that it was still early, he stayed by the river for a while.I still have the idea of ​​making money in my heart, and I guess I can't buy more than ten hectares just by farming.

Their family can't even come up with the money to buy one hectare of land, let alone a dozen or so hectares, so they have to find some other way to get some income.What's more, she still plans to buy seeds from overseas and needs a large field experiment.

With a good field at home, her parents are determined not to let her grow things at will.Unless the family is very rich, then with how favored she is by her parents, she can get a dozen or so mu to grow things by herself.

Hey, how come there are candied haws in this world?Otherwise, she could seize the opportunity and make a fortune first.

Because she hasn't read any books related to this era, she still can't move ordinary things casually.If you want to find a way, you can only think about it from the perspective of relatively small food.

Absently picking up a stone with a shovel, Su Qinghe was about to turn around, when she suddenly saw a few white and tender sprouts under the stone, her heart moved slightly, Su Qinghe remembered that such a thing as bean sprouts hadn’t appeared yet Bar?
Now the beans that everyone grows have only two uses, one is to make tofu and bean curd, and the other is to grind oil.Because there were no machines in this era, the oil produced by soybean grinding oil was small, and there was a lot of dregs that were not filtered cleanly, so soybean oil was the cheapest among all oils.

It seems that the mass production of bean sprouts has not yet appeared.

Thinking of this, Su Qinghe felt a burst of excitement, but immediately felt a little depressed again.Because of this thing, she really didn't want to think about what to sell, seller?Recipe for making bean sprouts?This is not a preserved egg, and it doesn’t matter if there are any ingredients missing. As long as you know how to farm, use your brain a little, and think about it, six or seven out of ten people can make it.

A menu made from bean sprouts?This is even more unfeasible. She hasn't touched the spatula at home, let alone learned cooking, and suddenly said that she can cook with food that no one else has eaten. It's no wonder her mother didn't ask the master to dance!
After much deliberation, Su Qinghe couldn't make up her mind.In the end, I had no choice but to go home first, prepare to distribute a pot of bean sprouts, and then asked my mother to stir-fry them.If it really doesn't work, just sell it together, at worst, you will charge less money.
