Mountain People

Chapter 56: Fish and shrimp, Gu Shuixiu is sick

      Instead of using those bricks, they were all built with adobe. Gu Shuixiu also had people dig a fermentation pond and ditches. When the time comes, water will be diverted from the mountains to clean the farm. All the animal feces can flow into the fermentation pond through the ditches. This fermentation pond is It can provide fertilizers to the fields and form a virtuous circle of ecosystems.

    Uncle Qin was amazed when he saw it, and praised Gu Shuixiu for being smart. His eyes were so hot that he wanted to kneel down and pay his respects.

    Now Gu Shuixiu sees Uncle Qin and wants to take a detour.

     

    Gu Shuixiu thanked everyone for their help, not only paid everyone's wages, but also gave some more.

    In the end, Dong Chenghu, Qin Shan, and Zuo Qingsong went to Caozi Village and Panlong Town to buy all the livestock. Uncle Qin was invited by Gu Shuixiu to fish in the river. No big fish, just thumb-sized small fish and shrimp.

    Uncle Qin is now very convinced of Gu Shuixiu. She said that the east will never go west. After five days of fishing in the river, she finally got all the fish and shrimp that Gu Shuixiu needed.

    After Gu Shuixiu settled the wages, she turned around and asked Dong Chenghu to stock these small fish and shrimps in the paddy field.

    Everyone was completely stunned. Wouldn’t the fish and shrimp eat those seedlings when they entered the paddy field?

    Dong Chenghu followed Gu Shuixiu dumbfoundedly.

    Gu Shuixiu had to patiently explain to everyone: "The seedlings have grown for almost a month now, and the roots and stems in the water are already very thick, these fish and shrimp can't be eaten, and when the fish and shrimp are big, The rice has also grown, and these fish and shrimp can eat the rice flowers in the water, and they can also eat some pests on the rice, which can promote a bumper rice harvest."

    When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized, and then they looked surprised. If it was really like what Gu Shuixiu said, wouldn't it mean that fish in paddy fields can not only harvest a good harvest, but also harvest a batch of big fish at that time. How much money can you earn!

    Hao made a rough estimate in her heart, the whole person was stunned, her blood was surging with excitement, she almost fainted, and she decided to work hard with the Dong family. Get rich too!

      These are all later stories.

      Ready, all that's left is to open the kiln.

    After a spring rain, the Dong family started a booming brick-burning business. The Qin family and Zuo Qingsong have also completed the land deeds. The Qin family plans to build two identical houses, covering six acres. For the homestead, another ten acres of wasteland was purchased and prepared to be reclaimed into fields. At that time, Qin Shan and Qin Chuan each had five acres. Including some other expenses, it took eight or two and a half.

    Zuo Qingsong didn't know what to plan. He actually wanted to build a bigger house by himself. This yard is about to catch up with the Qin family's two, covering an area of ​​five acres, plus another ten Mu wasteland, the total is 15 mu, and the total cost is nearly eight taels of silver.

      , they also went to the top of the mountain with hot springs to carry sulfur and sand.

    When Dong Chenghu burned the first batch of bricks, the two factories started construction.

    Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu burned the bricks for almost two months and finally handed over the number of bricks the Qin family and Zuo Qingsong needed. not enough.

    When everything was done, Gu Shuixiu realized that spring was almost over, and the footsteps of early summer were approaching silently.

    The couple who were idle felt very unaccustomed to it. Gu Shuixiu went to the paddy fields every now and then. The rice is growing satisfactorily, and when I look at the greenery, I feel very comfortable.

      Rice flowers, don't they have three or four kilograms in the autumn harvest?

    The crops in the other valley are not bad, but the watering is more troublesome. After all, it is not a paddy field, and it is not just a matter of diversion. Getting more and more tired, all these physical tasks have been handed over to Dong Chenghu.

    Even all the livestock in the livestock pen were handed over to Dong Chenghu to serve. He was so busy with these farm work every day that he didn't even have time to go out hunting.

    "Sister, where's Shuixiu? Are you still sleeping in the room?" Dong Chenghu just came back from the valley, and when he entered the door, he didn't see Gu Shuixiu. I'm more motivated than anyone else, how come I'm getting more and more lazy recently, I can't even get out of bed today, is it possible that I'm sick?

    Dong Chenghu couldn't sit still more when he thought about it, "Eldest sister, I'll go see Shuixiu, if not, take her to see the doctor."

    Dong Yunmei nodded, followed by worry, the two little ones didn't make a fuss when they saw the adult's face was wrong, they sat obediently in the yard and played by themselves, not to cause trouble to others.

    Dong Chenghu entered the room and saw that Gu Shuixiu was really still lying on the bed. He was very frightened. He called Gu Shuixiu softly in the past, but Gu Shuixiu did not wake up. Dong Chenghu saw that she was sleeping so deeply. even more afraid.

    I immediately packed up and walked towards the beach with Gu Shuixiu in my arms. Before going out, she told Dong Yunmei to take care of her family, but she did not tell Dong Yunmei that they were going to Linhai County by boat.

    Dong Chenghu carried Gu Shuixiu down the high slope, gently put the person into the dock, and covered Gu Shuixiu with a padded jacket.

    Everything was ready, Dong Chenghu immediately set off and rowed towards Linhai County.

    Gu Shuixiu woke up with the sound of the waves. At this time, the ship was approaching Linhai County. Gu Shuixiu came out of the dock and was surprised to learn that she had slept so deadly. She can sleep so much, she is almost catching up with the sow!

    It was just after noon when the two arrived in Linhai County, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. As the so-called spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue, at this time, the rich people are all on their lunch break, and ordinary people are either going to work or going to the fields. , but also clean.
