Chapter 134 Pepper and Pepper (4)

The villagers of Qinjiazhuang worked hard to reclaim the edge of the land delineated by the patriarch, and then planted the plant Mimosa glabra.

In addition to Mimosa glabra, thorny trees such as pepper trees and thorny catalpas are planted inside, just to worry that they will not be able to see someone coming to steal the peppers inside.

It also takes a lot of time to plant a pure natural "wall" on a thousand acres of land. They have to clear out a piece of land and reclaim a place where the "wall" can be planted, which will take even more time.

Although a thousand mu of land is indeed a lot, the entire village of Qinjiazhuang came to work, so it took only a few days for the land to be reclaimed.

The cattle and donkeys from Qinjiazhuang came to plow the land. It took about half a month for the land not only to be reclaimed, but also to be planted with pepper and Chinese prickly ash.

Of course, not all of the thousand acres of land are planted with pepper and Zanthoxylum bungeanum. The Zanthoxylum bungeanum is probably planted as a fence, and there are also "walls" that divide the areas inside.

In addition to pepper and pepper, this thousand-acre land probably also planted some plants that can be made into spices, such as cinnamon, star anise, and bay leaf trees, but compared with pepper and pepper, other crops were planted a little less .

The Qin family has reserved a hundred acres of land to grow corn and sweet potatoes, or soybeans, mung beans and other miscellaneous grains. What if there is no food in the clan?
After more than half a month passed, all the newly acquired thousand acres of mountain land were planted, and after being cultivated by Chen Qiuxiang's wood system abilities, these crops grew very well.

Pepper and Chinese prickly ash, star anise tree, bay leaf tree, cinnamon tree, etc. grow very well. Chen Qiuxiang also secretly planted some fruit trees in the gaps, such as jackfruit, grapes, lotus mist, rambutan, lychee, longan, mango And so on, about one or two of each kind.

He secretly planted a few fruit trees, and used the wood ability to make all the planted plants take root. After ensuring that all of them can survive, Chen Qiuxiang didn't care about it, and the rest just waited for them to grow up, bloom and bear fruit.

Because there are more than 1000 mu of land that has been planted with peppercorns, the clan also plans to arrange people to go there from time to time to take a look, worrying that someone who has the audacity to come over to destroy their clan's land or steal pepper seedlings or something.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Qiuxiang. The family's sacrifice field is about to start planting rice, and it is the high-yielding rice that Chen Qiuxiang and his family planted last season.

With 300 mu of fertile land, Qin Zhongyuan and the others chose a farm near Yunlai Town that was going to sell their farm. It just so happened that the farm of that family had more than [-] mu of land, so Zhao Yunyi gave it directly. The money was bought and given to Qinjiazhuang.

And this Zhuangzi's field is also empty now, and before the next season's grain can be planted, Qin Zhongyuan and the others just plan to plow the field and prepare to plant rice.

Anyway, as ordinary people, they would never dislike the abundance of food, so they planned to use all the [-] mu of fertile land to grow rice. As for the farmer Qin Zhongyuan and several clan elders, they discussed letting the farmers in the original village grow rice.

The affairs of the Zhuangzi were taken care of by the patriarch and the elders, and the villagers basically ignored it, and their family's land was ready to start planting.Dry land needs to grow sweet potatoes, or miscellaneous grains such as soybeans and mung beans, or it is ready to raise seedlings.

Now every household in Qinjiazhuang trades high-yielding rice seeds with Qin Muzhang's family, either with something of the same value or with money to buy them. Anyway, Qin Muzhang's family has made a lot of money relying on the seeds.

Not only the villagers of Qinjiazhuang, but also the seeds needed for the sacrifice to the fields were all bought from Qin Muzhang's family. His family really made a profit this time.

Of course, there are also corn seeds, which also make money. After all, corn seeds are the only ones, and only Qin Muzhang's family has this kind of seeds.

Chen Qiuxiang's family has also started raising seedlings, and the seedlings can be transplanted when the seedlings are full moon. Now, let's plow a piece of land to raise seedlings.

After Qinjiazhuang was almost busy, the school also resumed school, and the child Chen Mozhu was also sent over to continue the enlightenment class.

Qin Xiaobao still likes going to school. He can play with his good-looking cousin, play with his friends, and listen to his uncle telling stories. He likes going to school very much.

However, Qin Xiaobao doesn't like to practice calligraphy. Even considering that the children in the enlightenment class are all about three to six years old, it is not good for opponents to practice calligraphy too early, but the master will let them practice writing on the sand table.

The masters in the enlightenment class did not insist that these children learn good handwriting at such a young age, they just hope that these children can learn how to write, and they can complete the task by practicing how many words to write in class every day.

As for whether they will practice by themselves after returning home, that is the business of the children and their parents, and the father and son don't care much.

Of course, the masters will also tell the parents of the students not to let the children practice too much calligraphy too early, which is not good for the wrist.

As for Qin Xiaobao, when he returned home, he would be stared at by Qin Muyu, who is his wife, to write. Of course, he used a sand table, and after his uncle watched and wrote his name, he would use a pencil to trace the words.

What Qin Xiaobao dislikes the most is writing his own name, because what he needs to practice is not the three characters "Qin Xiaobao", but the three characters "Qin Moyan".

Compared with the three characters "Qin Xiaobao", "Qin Moyan" has a lot more strokes. Qin Xiaobao has to write his name ten times before he can do other things. He is very resentful.

"Father, isn't my name Qin Xiaobao? Why did I write this Qin Moyan?" Qin Xiaobao looked at the crooked "Mo" character he wrote, and asked with a mournful face.

He is really going to cry, the character "Mo" has so many strokes, how many strokes are there for "Xiaobao", and how many strokes are there for "Moyan"?She still likes her name Qin Xiaobao.

"No way, Xiaobao is your nickname, and Mo Yan is your real name." Qin Muzhang touched his son's head with a smile and said, "You have been using the name Mo Yan since you went to school, don't you? Habit? I remember you like the name Mo Yan very much."

Qin Xiaobao pouted, "I don't like it now."

The two characters Moyan have too many strokes, he doesn't like it, he wants a name with few strokes, like Xiaobao is very good.

"You don't complain, don't you see that your cousin is also writing his own name?" Qin Muzhang smiled, "Your name is Qin Moyan, and your cousin's name is Chen Mozhu. The strokes of the characters you want to write are not much different."

"What's the same?" Qin Xiaobao said unhappily, "Dad, don't think I don't know. My cousin's surname is Chen, and my surname is Qin. The word Chen is one less than mine. Although we both have the same name There is only one ink, but my Yan has six strokes more than my cousin’s bamboo.”

Although Qin Xiaobao is still more than ten days away from three years old, he has been in school for a long time, but he knows that the strokes of his name and his cousin's name are quite different.
