Chapter 63 63. Overage rice field steward
Zhang Yanping couldn't move his buttocks after eating so much.
However, it is impossible to work hard, so don’t suffer like this in this life. He decided to stay firmly rooted on the stool, even if his aunt disliked it.
As the bottom of the food chain, Song Sancheng didn't dare to say anything after eating, and he actively and diligently cleared away the dishes.
Since Wu Lan knew that tea could be sold for ten thousand and ten catties, he threw away his rice bowl and went straight up the mountain with the basket! More positive than anyone else.
What's the use of being angry with a man? Making money is the most important thing!
And Song Tan announced:
“Brother Yan Ping, you and Qiao Qiao can dig a vegetable garden together this afternoon!”
When digging a vegetable plot, the soil needs to be turned over first and then broken up. Although the place is not big, it is still a meticulous job. This was the first time Qiao Qiao took on such a serious task, and she took it very seriously.
The family’s vegetable garden had actually been dug last night, but my grandparents said that they would not be short of vegetables after planting the land anyway, so they might as well free up another adjacent vegetable plot for Song Tan.
That piece has not been dug yet.
Just right, let Zhang Yanping get used to it.
Song Tan went to take a look at the cabbage seeds soaked at noon, and secretly added some spiritual energy to them. Now, after half a day, slight buds have begun to bulge.
She planned to plant them all this evening.
The vegetable garden is not very big. It only adds up to three-thirds of the land, almost two hundred square meters.
However, if you grow cabbage, which can yield four thousand kilograms per mu if you sow it casually, the normal yield of this piece of land can be one thousand two hundred kilograms.
If there is another aura bonus...
Song Tan mentally settled the score and couldn't wait any longer.
She had a good idea, but Zhang Yanping didn’t even raise his butt:
“I’m not going.” Apparently he was very insistent.
“If you don’t go, you won’t have anything to eat tonight.”
“Then I won’t go either.” Zhang Yanping chuckled: “Tan Tan, you are still young and don’t know the persistence of adults. My aunt will never starve me.”
Song Tan also smiled meaningfully: "Brother Yan Ping, I won't starve you, but that doesn't mean you can eat this delicious food until noon. If you are willing to eat something different from us, then you can show it off here. ”
Zhang Yanping's heart skipped a beat.
But a grown man, how can you just admit defeat like this?
He said stubbornly: "No way, you are so busy, how can you still have time to cook two meals?"
Song Tan smiled and said nothing.
But before that, a piece of the field must be plowed. Rice needs to be intensively bred first and then transplanted.
There are also some vegetable seedlings, and all that need to be cultivated must be cultivated.
Song Tan brought the tools to Qiao Qiao: "Be good, dig your grandparents' vegetable garden carefully. Once it's done, we'll plant vegetables in the evening."
“Don’t grow corn?”
Qiao Qiao obviously doesn’t like Song Tan’s way of growing vegetables.
“I’ve planted it, but it’s not the time yet. When the time comes, we can allocate a separate field to grow corn for our Qiaoqiao, okay?”
At this point, Qiao Qiao was satisfied.
Zhang Yanping couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at his innocent look.
Song Tan walked to the field and saw the old cow lying leisurely in the field with a few birds standing on it. He couldn't help but smile:
“Grandpa Li!”
“Hey!” A man sat up on the ridge of the field. He was the owner of the old scalper.
“Grandpa Li, is the milkvetch in my field delicious?”
Wrinkles appeared on Old Man Li's face: "Okay! It's very good. It's more delicious than stewed meat. I have to cut a basket every day."
Song Tan took the initiative to bring up this matter.
I just tasted it once. I have to bring a basket here every day when grazing cattle. It tastes delicious in my mouth and I feel like I have hope for the future.
Looking at Song Tan now, I just feel that this girl is good in everything. As expected of a college student, he is better at farming than them.
“Tan Tan, what brings you here?”
Song Tan pointed out two pieces of land adjacent to the paddy fields and dry fields: "Grandpa Li, it's time to cultivate rice seeds these days. Please plow them over the next two days and make them more detailed."
"I am going to grow some vegetable seedlings on the dry land above, but I have to be more careful."
Old man Li has been doing plowing for half his life, so he just responded without thinking:
"Don't worry, I know what you want, and I will definitely get it for you."
Then he pointed to the corner of the field:
“That piece is leeward, the sun is good, and it is next to the ditch. I just need to turn that piece up and down to make it thinner.”
Looking at the big sun again, the old man naturally has a lot of experience to talk about:
“Tell your dad to take the time to weave more straw curtains. In this weather, we have to keep them covered from morning to night.”
"I think the chestnuts on the mountain will bloom in a while, right? Don't just ignore the chestnuts. The black fungus underneath needs to be ventilated."
The workload has increased again—Song Tan’s scalp is really numb.
If this place was deserted, she could still use some tricks, but now there are so many people in the village, and the fields and forests are under everyone's nose, so everything can only be done slowly.
However, looking at Old Man Li's unfinished expression, Song Tan's heart moved and he suddenly asked:
"Grandpa Li, why don't you help me take care of the seedlings first? I'll take care of the two paddy fields for you later."
“I don’t say anything about whether to pay or not. Anyway, I’ll cover all the rice, flour, rapeseed, and meat for you for a year. Do you think that’s okay?”
The old man also has great wisdom. Old man Li smiled and said:
“If you don’t mind that I’m old and can’t do any work, you can cut twenty pounds of your pork for me by the end of the year!”
Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry.
“Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Grandpa Li, you are much more capable than young people like us.”
Even though the old man in the village seems to be in low spirits every day, he even staggers when walking. Let them go to the ground and they will do it faster than anyone else.
That pair of ruthless iron hands can rival many young adults in just talking about pulling grass.
If nothing else, Old Man Li is very knowledgeable about growing rice. After all, he has been growing this for the first half of his life. Now he can speak properly:
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to raise you well.”
Now that he has the responsibility, he is willing to say more: "By the way, Tantan, take the time to clean up the pond above you. There are too many aquatic plants in it. Raise more grass carp."
Grass carp eats grass very aggressively, so it is suitable for such an environment.
"I think the water quality in the pond is good. If you take the time to get some crucian carp fry in and keep them well, it will also be an income."
Song Tan also has this plan.
“Grandpa Li, I plan to wait until the rice fields are drained of water before releasing the fish fry. Otherwise, they will all flow into the fields along the canals.”
It’s not that she doesn’t want to raise fish in the rice fields, it’s mainly that the ducks on the mountain will be able to eat grass in the fields, and the time difference can be made later.
However, Old Man Li said:
“What are you afraid of! The fish has entered the rice field, which is more beneficial than the ducks. It also gives you worms to eat and grass to fertilize the field. They talk about those rice flower fish on TV, and they can be sold more expensively.”
“At worst, you can put out more fish fry when the time comes. I’ll keep an eye on you in the rice fields.”
Today is still ten thousand a day, five updates! Monthly pass, Modo!
Thank you for your support!
The results of the first order yesterday were great. Thank you for your support! There is a recommendation event today. I hope everyone can add this book to your reading list.
Thanks.
Currently, I owe "Lu Xiaowen" 10,000 days for guessing the bumble bee, and I also owe 10,000 days for an unpopular plant provided by "Mingming I'm Handsome" in the comment area.
Let’s arrange it at the end of the month. I have learned a lot during this time, and we have a clear path.
