The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 121
"What's the matter, I can do it by myself. Now that the farming is busy, I can't find anyone and I will do it myself..." Niu Laogen said with a smile.

"How about I come to help you..." Zhong Gensheng felt a little sorry.

"Don't, it's okay if unskilled people get in the way. Although I'm an old bone now, but..." Niu Laogen took a bite of the vegetable and smiled: "When I was young, I often did it alone. , Otherwise, where did the family business come from? I didn’t work it out hard. At that time, the family didn’t have so much land. It was all barren fields. I dug the mud and poured it into fertile fields. Otherwise, hey..."

Recalling that Niu Laogen was very topical when he was young, the meaning is naturally that although he is old now, don't always underestimate him.

He is still young and strong.

After hearing what he said, Zhong Gensheng naturally agreed, knowing that he was a capable swimmer, so he just said: "...I'll borrow a boat tomorrow..."

"...Well. It's better to rent one. After all, dredging mud, no money, and the boat is dirty and smelly, can you be happy?!" Niu Laogen said with a smile: "In the past, there was one at home, but it was only for many years. It's useless, I guess I missed it..."

Having said that, Zhong Gensheng laughed and said, "It's because I didn't think about it well. I'll rent one tomorrow. There are quite a few people with boats in the village..."

Niu Laogen nodded yes.

Zhong's family always prepares a lot of gifts for his family during the New Year, and often sends some ready-made dishes, meat, or raw meat dishes to his house. Niu Laogen is actually grateful from the bottom of his heart, knowing that the other party is Treating myself as an in-law is naturally very happy, on the one hand happy for Xiao Hua, on the other hand happy for myself.

So this time, even if dredging mud was a dirty and smelly job, he had to do it.Besides, he still has strength and is not old.

While drinking, he said with a smile: "... In the future, if you have something to do, just ask me to help, we are already in such a relationship, why are you being polite?!"

Zhong Gensheng naturally knew what he meant, so he smiled and said: "...Yes, I will not be polite in the future, and you should not be polite to me either."

"Of course..." Niu Laogen responded with a smile, obviously very happy.

The two of them were talking, but the family members understood. Dabao and Niu Xiaohua wanted to bury their heads under the table, their faces were so red that they could cook shrimp.

He Axiu just smiled when she saw it. She was thinking that it was time to put their wedding on the agenda, as both children were grown up.

The dinner was happily finished, and early the next morning, Zhong Gensheng rented a boat and came to dig the mud. He was not very happy when he saw that he was digging the mud, but the Zhong family had to borrow it again, and later heard He smiled happily when he said he would give the money, and the expression on his face was really rich.After all, I was thinking about getting money, and it didn’t take much effort. At worst, when the boat came back, I would wash it, brush it several times, and then dry it in the sun. .

Zhong Gensheng looked at other people's expressions, and he just felt that money can turn ghosts around.

Pushing the boat into the river, Niu Laogen got into the boat with the tools. He was used to doing this, so he was naturally handy. Zhong Gensheng watched it on the bank for a while, and then went back to help dig the canal.But he also thought that the mud had to be picked up after being dug up, otherwise he would not be able to get it back, so he talked to the two brothers who were digging ponds, saying that he would help pick up the mud in the afternoon.People have wages and food, so it doesn't matter what kind of work they do. Anyway, picking mud is also a job, so they smiled and said, "Gensheng, you have all the seeds in your field, and you still make mud to make it. What?!"

Zhong Gensheng said with a smile while digging the canal: "It's a fertile field, it's a fat pond. This pond has no nutrients and can't grow aquatic plants. What do the fish eat?!"

The two said in amazement: "There are so many things to pay attention to in raising fish? We don't understand it, hehe, your family knows a lot..."

But they also wondered in their hearts what such a violent fish farming is doing! ?After doing so much work, the fish is worthless in the end. Could it be that the fish is eaten by oneself in the end? !
After thinking about it, the two of them laughed again, they just had to do what they had to do, and what to do with their leisure time, people digging ponds to raise fish is for other people's own use, so what are they worrying about.

The two of them didn't know that Shen Sisi wanted to grow lotus root, but they just felt that the Zhong family was really rich, and they didn't lack the money, so they did such a big job.

Zhong Gensheng just smiled and said: "...it's what our local girl said."

The two of them had a meal, and there was another burst of emotion. The native girl of the Zhong family is really famous. As long as she makes things, it will be a source of wealth. She sells sauerkraut and seasoning. Meat, I don't know how much I can earn in a day now...

The two felt that the Zhong family might be the richest man in this town, and the family of Wang Xiucai in the next village might not be comparable.

Comparing people to people can really piss people off, alas.

The three of them were gossiping, when Shen Sisi ran over, holding a piece of paper in her hand, as if she came from the river, frowning all the way, thinking about something, Zhong Gensheng was very excited when he saw her Happy, smiled and said: "Tu Niu, what are you doing?!"

Shen Sisi smiled, and said: "I'm not doing anything, I'm just planning to dig a ditch that is the shortest distance to the river without hindering the villagers from entering and leaving the village. It's just dad..."

Pensively paused, and smiled helplessly: "It seems that we have to make a detour, otherwise there is a small rock mountain in the middle, and it will be more difficult to dig out, so we have to make a detour, not only to detour, but also to the river. The road to and from the village has to be cut off, so, Dad, we need to build a stone bridge over there, otherwise our family will be scolded for digging this..."

Zhong Gensheng had already put down his shovel, came up, and said with a smile: "You tell me which line, we just dig along, build a bridge if we build a bridge, and if we have time in the future, we can plant some small trees beside the bridge." , to prevent children from playing over there and falling..."

"...Success." Shen Sisi smiled and said: "This section is dug like this. When you get there, turn left and go around Xiaoshishan. I plan to leave a hole there so that we can connect in the future. The piece of land where we want to build a workshop, I think if we want to dig a pond in the future, we will get through it, if we don’t dig it, it won’t be too much trouble to keep the hole, Dad, what do you think?!”

"Success, I'll listen to you..." Zhong Gensheng laughed, and his voice was very pleasant. Anyway, the land is huge, and digging a pond should be enough.

"We continue to follow this side directly to the river, but the road will be cut off. When I want to dig, I will dig both sides first. We will dig this section of the road, and then build a stone bridge to facilitate entry and exit. , Otherwise, the digging is broken, it is inconvenient for the villagers to come in and out, and our house sells braised pork every day, so it is not convenient to go out..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

Zhong Gensheng nodded after thinking about it, and said: "That's right, I'll go find some lime and sprinkle this section of the road with a mark. Last time I sprayed lime powder on the fish pond at home to disinfect it, there was still a lot left. I'll go find it." ..." As he said that, he hurried there, took a dustpan, and there were some clumped lime in it, he didn't dislike it, crushed it, and walked slowly to the river along the planned road Walk, sprinkle all the way, sprinkle all the way to the river, the lime powder in the dustpan is almost used up...

Zhong Gensheng looked back and said with a smile: "It seems that this section of the road will take a lot of time, after all, it is so long..."

"That's right..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "When the village is done, I will find some villagers, but I still have to find honest ones, just dig slowly..."

Zhong Gensheng originally planned this way, and said with a smile: "In about two days, most people in the village will be free, so I'll just ask again..."

"Yeah." Shen Sisi looked at the withered reeds beside the village, and said with a smile: "When these grow up, we can raise some ducks and geese, but no one at home looks at these, hey... ..."

She sighed faintly, while thinking about how to find a way to raise these, after all, roast duck and goose are delicious...

Just thinking about it, Shen Sisi began to salivate, thinking of the roasted duck and goose in honey sauce in the books in the Tower of Cookery, she began to yearn for it...

The villagers here rarely raise these. After all, these are not like chickens. Chickens run around the house, and they will go home to lay eggs by themselves. At night, they don’t have to rush, they will return to their nests by themselves. Yes, but the ducks and geese are very laborious. Although, they may go home by themselves after a long time, but especially in summer, once they go crazy, it will be troublesome, and you just watch them linger. The waterside refuses to come up, no matter how hard you drive them away, they will ignore you, you will go crazy...

After all, they are inseparable from water, and raising them requires someone to watch them by the river. How can the people in the village have the time to watch them, and let the children watch them, but the children themselves are not sure, how can they? Let the children watch, if they go into the water every day or something, the adults in the family will still be worried, so there are very few people who raise them, unless there are people who live very close to the river, but people in this village are far away from the river. There are many wells, even if there are no wells, there are public wells at the entrance of the village, so the villagers build houses far away from the river...

Seeing this natural reed marsh, Shen Sisi felt a little melancholy, the family was too short, otherwise it would really be necessary to set up a duck and geese farm here.

In fact, it is also possible to buy it, but it’s just that you don’t want to worry about it. There are few of these things in this village, and there are not many in other villages...

If you want to use this to do business, just taking it back from others is not the way.

But it's okay to fight the tooth festival.

Thinking about it, Shen Sisi became happy, and said with a smile: "...Father, let's go to the village to buy a duck and a goose, I want to eat goose legs..."

She is small, and she would be almost full after eating just one goose leg.

The geese here are not as big as usual, and the goose legs are also very fat, which must be delicious. The most important thing is that they are all natural, and the taste is really worth mentioning.

Zhong Gensheng was stunned for a moment, and felt even more guilty. Since his family became rich, he has eaten a lot of chickens, but he has never eaten geese. After all, this thing is not easy to raise, and it is not cost-effective to buy, and he can’t think of buying it. When I was poor, I didn’t even touch chicken feathers, so don’t mention these things. Thinking of Zhong Gensheng, he said: “Sure, there are some people who raise these in the village. I’ll go and buy two. These things are not worth as much as chickens, but just one.” It’s too fat, so the price is still higher than buying a chicken. People raise this chicken for raw eggs, and goose eggs are huge..."

He paused, and said again: "Tu Niu, do you want to eat duck?! It smells a bit fishy, ​​it's not tasty, dad has eaten it..."

Of course she has eaten it, but it's because the people here don't know how to handle it.She laughed and said, "Father just bought it back, and then I will definitely let him eat it so much that he can't put it down..."

Thinking of her cooking skills, Zhong Gensheng naturally believed it, and said with a smile: "OK, I'll go right away and cook it tonight..."

"...Mmm." Shen Sisi smiled, her mood was bright.

I'm afraid it will be too late for noon. I guess He Axiu has already prepared dinner by this time. In the evening... let's eat roast goose and duck...

Hey.

Seeing Zhong Gensheng's back hurried away, Shen Sisi took the paper and looked at the riverside again. It is very convenient to build a duck and goose farm, just build a shed, but it is difficult for anyone to come to see this duck farm. big question...
