Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 358
"Liu Yu, Luo Hua, the two of you clean up the three rooms, and we will live here for a while later."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Chen Sen, Chen Lin, distribute a small bag of rice to each person in the village."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Huzi, don't you mind if we old couple go to the village for a while?"

"If you want to go, I'll take you around the village."

"it is good."

Huzi shouted into the house: "Father and mother, you are cooking at home, I will take the nobleman out to have a look."

Bai Lan didn't want to abuse her stomach at all, "Huzi, my two maids are pretty good at cooking, let them cook after they finish cleaning."

"How can I do it? You are distinguished guests in our village, how can you let the guests do nothing?"

"It's okay, we just added some ingredients two days ago, there are all kinds of vegetables in the carriage, just let them do it, and then you can just eat."

"Wei Yu, after the two of you tidy up the room later, remember to cook the meal. The old man and I will go out and have a look. You can go to Mali to get the ingredients yourself."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chen Yu, Bai Lan, and Hu Zi walked around the village once. Chen Yu took a look at the fields in person, "Hu Zi, why are you doing this in the fields? Don't you irrigate if there are no small rivers?"

"Although the village is called Xiaohe Village, the water source is not sufficient. There is no water to irrigate. That's why the harvest is so poor, and we can't carry much water."

The three of them walked a long way until they finally saw a small stream at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village.

Chen Yu: "Huzi, is there only one brook in your entire village?"

"The water near the end of the village is fetched from this small creek. The water flows down from the mountain and is relatively sweet. There is an ancient well at the head of the village, and the water in front is basically drawn from there. They are the only two sources of water in the village.”

Bai Lan joked with a smile: "Your village is called Xiaohe Village, so it's not because you want more water."

"That's what it means. When our ancestors chose the name, they thought that if there were more water sources in the village, at least they would be able to harvest more food."

Bai Lan: "There are quite a few fields in your village, but some of the water sources are not sufficient. No wonder the harvest is not good."

"Madam, master, what can you do after seeing the fields in our village?"

Chen Yu: "There is a lot of land in your village. Besides these fields, there is also a lot of sandy land, which is most suitable for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes. For fields, you just need to find a way to find water sources, irrigate them, and grow them. It is not impossible to produce food, with the second season of food you will be able to have enough food, and there is still some surplus food that can be exchanged for money."

After seeing the whole village, Chen Yu was a little puzzled. There are a lot of fields and sandy land in this village. Why is there no harvest?The three of them wandered around the village for a long time. There are only a hundred households in a village.

"Huzi, do all these fields and wasteland belong to your village?"

"All these fields and sandy land belong to the villagers in our village, because they were cultivated by our ancestors for generations, and let us young and strong boys have the strength to open up wasteland."

Chen Yu looked like Bai Lan and said: "There is quite a lot of land in the village, and the hills are not bad. Let Yajiao send some people to plant greenhouses, and then pick some fruit trees on the hills. The source of income can be considered."
