Chapter 2: Disaster, the first appearance (5)

In the village, Huber is recognized as having great strength and diligence, and one laborer can do two laborers.In the year when Lumeng’s land yields were the highest, a Bonnier (about one hectare) field harvested a quarter more wheat and beans than its neighbors.

But this is also Huber's limit.He can only farm the ground, and basically has no other craftsmanship. The carpenter is barely enough to make tableware for himself, and the mason is even more sloppy. He can only keep the long house from leaking every day. Once it encounters heavy rain, bowls and dishes are placed everywhere in the house to catch water. .

Every time the loopholes are filled, the three men from Lumeng's family have to fight together.Sometimes, they have to take out brown bread and onions, ask neighbors to help muddy the roof, and spread new wheat straw by the way.A large group of people are in a hurry, and it often takes all day to take care of the battered roof.

Little Albert gets a headache every time he thinks of this situation.He wanted to find a way, just like the hereditary mage family and the legendary Far East, so that the output of the wheat field rose. The cellars, wooden barrels, and large tanks of the family were filled with yellow wheat grains.At that time, even his own father, who is known for his honesty, can save dozens of livres. The long house passed down by his grandfather might be able to cover the roof with tiles instead of just placing two rows next to the ridge. ——

"Hey~~~Hey~~~~"

The lazy cry of the sheep suddenly came into little Albert's ears.A sheep screamed, and the whole flock of sheep screamed. The fallow field on the left of the village road quickly became noisy than the river beach in the afternoon.

[And the smell is even worse.Little Albert held his breath, waved the iron-tip wooden stick with both hands, and drove the two piglets back to the middle of the village.The sheep in the whole village are wandering in the fallow fields, and they add up to two hundred small.From a distance, they look like white clouds falling into the emerald green grassland. They are indeed very beautiful, but when they get closer, the smell of sheep and sheep's dung will be pungent. Even the little Albert who takes care of his sister every day will feel that his nose is hairy. itch.

The three brothers of the Zhu Er family and Lucien, the old bachelor, looked after the sheep.They also brought their own shepherd dogs, people and dogs worked together to drive the sheep in any direction.Just like other people in the village, the two sheep of the Lumen family are also entrusted to these two families; they take one-tenth of the wool and one-eighth of the cheese every year, which is not a festival. Extra reward for killing sheep every day.

Both the Juul family and Lucien, the old and stubborn, took these incomes for granted.Their status in the village is also very high, and Lucien is even qualified to attend the village-public-trial meeting.When the little Albert passed by, the four of them didn't even bother to say hello, all thinking about teasing the dog.In contrast, the black-bearded Octave and his son are obviously much easier to get along with.

The two of them are responsible for the care of thirteen dairy cows: two belong to the village chief, two are shared by the village, four are kept by another family, and five belong to the Octaf family.When they saw Albert, the father and son immediately opened their eyes and smiled. Old Pivi Octave even cut off a small piece of cheese and enthusiastically invited the "Omon kid" to taste it.

Little Albert's uncle, used to go out to do business with Old Pivi, and the relationship between the two is pretty good.Roland, the only son of the Octave family, has a good relationship with him. The two once fell into the river together. After being fished out by the adults, they were beaten side by side with a whip in the village square.In view of this, the little Albert did not shirk this time, and generously stuffed the cheese into his mouth. By the way, he promised the Octave father and son, "I will bring you wild fruits when I drive the pig back in the afternoon!"

Old Pivi laughed loudly and rubbed his head smoothly.Roland's eyes lit up, and for a while he looked at his departed good friend, and then at Chai Xinlin in the distance, saying "I really envy you, I can play in the forest every day".Seeing him, if the young Albert proposes to exchange jobs, the son of the cowherd will definitely raise his hands in agreement without thinking.

Albert, the son of a farmer, also envied Roland's current job.Feeding cattle, not only can you drink fresh milk frequently, but also delicious butter and cheese every day.In addition, cow dung is also an excellent fertilizer, and the dried dung cakes made by Octaf and his sons can be sold directly for grain.Including Hubert Lumen, dozens of farmers in the village spend a large part of their income here every year.

Speaking of fertilizer, the shepherds over there are equally generous.Although the sheep dung is small, it cannot hold up the total output. Nearly 200 sheep lay large piles of "black eggs" in the fallow fields every day, which not only restores the fertility of the fallow fields, but also sells them to Bernard and other farmers in a few days. The spring wheat field after sowing is moisturized.

Sheep dung, cow dung, donkey dung, mule dung, plus the horse dung from a few prominent figures, there are indeed a wide variety of fertilizers in Noblewa Village.But the problem is that even if all these fertilizers are added up, they are often not enough for the whole village, and the supply exceeds demand for at least seven of ten years.When planting winter wheat last year, several families were hired by the planning village to repair the wall of the village. They came back too late and did not buy fertilizer. The hostess of the family cried on the spot, and the host was so angry that he was fighting with his neighbors.

[In the future, this kind of thing will definitely happen again.Alas, it would be great if there were endless fertilizers.Little Albert licked two rows of teeth with his tongue, while reminiscing the saltiness of the cheese, while thinking wildly in his heart:

[The pile is high, several times more fertilizer than now.At that time, the farmland may not have to be fallowed at all, and every year you can grow wheat, beans, potatoes, and grapes... Speaking of this, the village chief lost money in the wine business the year before, and flattened all the vines in angrily. , The villagers can't eat sweet fruit.I can only hope that Bernard will pay more attention to planting some good varieties of new grapes on the newly reclaimed fields——]

Piggy stopped suddenly and almost hit his calf.The two beasts became very uneasy for no reason, their ears kept fanning, and their nostrils also panted heavily, spraying out a lot of sticky noses.

"What are you rubbing against?" Little Albert was very surprised, and he waved the pig stick smoothly and yelled at the two pigs:

"Go! Go into the woods soon, don't delay anything!"

The smaller end took a hesitant step forward.The bigger piglet turned his gaze to the side of the road and fixed his eyes on the dandelion bush.Judging from its posture, it should be planned to run into the wild grasses, and see Lu Meng's family who worked hard to raise it.

Little Albert would certainly not agree.Next year's fat, meat, and copper plates for daily flowers all count on the two little pigs.
