The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 170
"Sister-in-law is a good idea, let's go, let's do it..." Niu Jishi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "She is at Zhong's house with all her heart now, and she doesn't have time to stare at us, let's just do our own thing, Anyway, there is no more work in the field..."

Niu Li said with a smile: "Then you have to hurry up, start the men in the family, and let them stop other things, it's important to sell this..."

The three of them had a discussion and ran away in a hurry. For the sake of money, they were very motivated. The three of them were all powerful people, and the men in the family were obedient. When they threatened and lured them, they rushed up the mountain to pick it up. Chestnuts, plus what the children picked up, there are hundreds of catties a day, and I collect some from other children, the amount is extremely large...

In this way, they were very happy in their hearts, thinking how much they secretly sold and saved, and how much they would give to mother, so mother would not be overwhelmed...

But they are not worried, Tian Guihua's mind is full of the Zhong family's affairs now, her eyes are all red, so why do she care about these small profits? !
So they are as busy as a duck to water, earning money and smiling teeth are all outside.

Niu Laogen looked at the duck shed by the river beach and sighed.When Liu Tugen came back from the field and saw him, he also sat down, and said: "I just heard in the field that you had an argument with your sister-in-law. What is the quarrel? Just close your eyes, don't be too serious..."

"How could I want to quarrel with her?!" Niu Laogen said helplessly: "It's not that she is too nonsense, it really is her nature, no matter how difficult it is to change, I thought she was better..."

"Don't be too serious, hey, it's not easy to live up to now..." Liu Tugen sighed.

Niu Laogen sighed, many things are really hard to say, that's all, he didn't bother to mention it again, so he said: "What about you, how is your second dog?!"

"What else can I do?!" Liu Tugen said depressedly: "The last time I tested Gensheng, he definitely wanted to keep his daughter at home. Their family is doing well now, and if I were him, he would definitely not let his daughter marry and go out to suffer. , So, alas, that's all, let him go, this kid, he has been single for a few years, and I don't bother to care about him anymore, the more I care about him, the more I will become enemies..."

"You want to open it too, and you can wait a few years." Niu Laogen said with a smile: "The children's debt, I am also worried about my children and grandchildren, you can follow my example and want to open some."

"That's true..." Liu Tugen smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't want to, the more I think about it, the more I worry. I'm going back, I have to go and see the pigs, after a while the pigs will be slaughtered, I can't be sloppy at this time... ..."

Then he laughed, stood up and walked away slowly.

Niu Laogen looked at the ducks swimming freely by the river and sighed, it really is a debt to his sons and daughters, alas...

Zhong Gensheng and his wife didn't know about this matter, they went back to the front yard when they got fat, and planted Chinese cabbage and radish in the vegetable field.

All the vegetables in the vegetable field in the backyard were harvested, and the taro was piled up like a hill and placed in the firewood room. When Shen Sisi saw it, he smiled and said, "Mother, let's wash and eat these taro vermicelli... "

He Axiu said: "...OK."

In the past, it was impossible to wash vermicelli to eat, because it was too expensive to wash vermicelli. For them, these were rations back then, they were reluctant to waste it.

After all, the consumption of washing taro is too high. Ten catties of taro can get one to two catties of vermicelli. The remaining dregs can only be fed to pigs, which are not tasty.Back then, I wished I could eat [-] cents of the ration, but now I don’t need it, and my family doesn’t need these for rations. Now pigs are put into the pigpen every day, so the dregs from washing are good for pigs to eat... Adding some dried vine leaves and stems, and some vegetable clappers can also save some money on chaff.

He Axiu smiled and said, "Xiao Hua and I will wash this."

Niu Xiaohua responded, and said with a smile: "I can do this, mother, let's do it together, and I'll peel the skin..."

The efficiency of the two was astonishing. They chatted and laughed and produced a lot of taro, and planned to make some of them first.

Zhong Gensheng fattened the land, and pulled the ox cart out again. He went to the county town and bought a lot of supplies from the new workshop. Only then did he put the things in the workshop, locked a big lock, and then pulled the ox cart home.

Seeing that Shen Sisi was there, he smiled and said: "I've almost bought all kinds of things, and I'll buy the rest if I don't have them in the future. Tu girl, these ingredients are going to be dried. Let's It has to be collected, how about going directly to the workshop to collect it?! It will be stacked directly in the warehouse, but the manpower problem should be solved, Tu Niu, how many people are you going to recruit?! There are also gatekeepers Let's recruit first and then talk..."

Shen Sisi nodded and said, "Father, what do you think of Wang Tuozi from the village head guarding the gate?!"

"He, but his back is arched, is it convenient?!" Zhong Gensheng said hesitantly.

"It's okay to be hunched over. To be a gatekeeper doesn't need to do physical work. You just need to be shrewd and strict..." Shen Sisi said with a smile: "I think he is honest, even though he is ugly and has no wife, but He's doing well alone, and the fields are well-organized. He seems to be a shrewd man, and he must know a lot in his heart. Gatekeepers are very important. No children, no wives, no siblings..."

Zhong Gensheng then understood, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go and talk to him..."

"Father, let the price be higher, let's say that when he gets old, our Zhong family will take care of him for the elderly. This concierge's position is very important. I hope the other party is a trustworthy person..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

"Okay, I think he's not bad, although he doesn't talk much, but he is organized in his heart, so he will definitely agree, as long as the salary is high, even if he can't marry a wife in the future, he will be able to adopt a son and a half daughter It's good to stay by my side to provide for the elderly..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "I'll go talk to him, he definitely agrees..."

"Give him a higher price, two taels of silver a month, let him rent out the land, don't do it yourself, and live in the porter to watch the gate in the future, but let him keep it secret, don't let others know about this salary, otherwise Some are noisy..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.Others work a day and only get one and a half taels of silver a month. When they see that he does nothing and get two taels a month, who has no idea?She was just avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Zhong Gensheng naturally knew the pros and cons of it, so he nodded and hurriedly became a lobbyist.

Thinking and laughing at the sky, concierge... This position is actually very important. In the future, people who should not go in must be stopped, otherwise there will be no secrets there, and people will easily cause trouble when they come in and out .

Wang Tuozi is honest and shrewd, and he doesn't like to talk too much with the villagers. He has never been close to the villagers, let alone has any friendship. This person is the most suitable candidate. She would rather pay more for peace of mind.

Zhong Gensheng came back after a while, and when he saw her, he smiled and said: "Wang Tuozi agreed. I was shocked when I heard that there were two taels of silver, but I also told him about my interests, and he said that I would lease the land immediately." Go out, come to watch the door of the workshop, and only talk to outsiders about one tael of silver a month..."

Shen Sisi smiled, this was within her expectations, after all, Wang Tuozi had no relatives, not to mention the tiredness of farming, and there was no harvest, and his strength was not too strong due to physical reasons, so it was very difficult, such a good thing How could he not do it? !

Zhong Gensheng smiled and said: "...he said that he will help us watch the door in the future. He is honest and doesn't know how to adapt, so he must be very reliable."

"That's right..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "Father, it's true that we still need to raise a few dogs. After all, Wang Tuozi is the only one guarding the door. If someone breaks into the door, he can't stop him." , and he is alone at night, so we don't worry about it. Let's raise a few dogs to guard the door. There is no shortage of bones and a few bites in the house. In the future, we will send the pig bones in our house to the dogs..."

"Okay..." Zhong Gensheng also wanted to talk about raising a dog, so he said with a smile: "I see a female dog in the village seems to have given birth to puppies. I will catch some and bring them back..."

"Be more aggressive..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "Buy as many as you have, the more the better."

"Got it..." Zhong Gensheng ran away happily again.

After a while, he really came back with five puppies in his arms. The puppies just out of the full moon can already run all over the place. He thought and said with a smile: "Let's keep them at home first, and after Wang Tuozi moves into the workshop Let him take care of it, anyway, just build a wooden house for them next to the porter, it won't take too much effort, and let them sleep next to the kitchen when it's cold in winter, and they won't be frozen..."

"Okay..." Zhong Gensheng put down his dog and said with a smile, "The families at the head of the village didn't ask for my money..."

It's strange to want one. After all, dogs are not rare things. If a bitch gives birth to puppies, if no one wants them, the family will pay for food, dirty and noisy, and would like to give them away. It's not like it was in modern times. Dogs It is a rare thing, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it looks.Besides, everyone in the village now grows the ingredients of the Zhong family, and they think they will grow them and sell them to the Zhong family in the future. They are too embarrassed to ask for money for such a worthless dog...

After finishing all these, Zhong Gensheng heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the ingredients workshop was about to collect ingredients and put them into the warehouse, if he didn't even fix the porter, wouldn't there be endless troubles? !

Shen Sisi saw these puppies playing vigorously with her robe, so she laughed and said in a low voice: "...Father, I remembered Erbao's marriage last time, so I want to ask you."

"Whose girl have you taken a fancy to yet?!" Zhong Gensheng said in amazement, as if she could marry her as long as she took a fancy to it.

Shen Sisi was sweating profusely, and said in a low voice: "Father, that's not what I mean, what I mean is, why don't you ask Er Bao whether he got married before or after taking the exam for a scholar? He is only younger than Dabao." At one year old, these things should be considered. If you want to get married earlier, you can arrange a girl from someone else's family. If you don't want to get married so early, you can delay it a few years. Anyway, he has a scientific examination, and a few years later is fine... Dad, what do you think?"

"I'll ask, but have you taken a fancy to any girl?!" Zhong Gensheng asked in a low voice.

Shen Sisi shook his head, and said: "I don't care what I like, I have to ask Erbao if there is anyone who likes it, if not, I think Chunxiang from Lizheng's family is not bad, he is also polite and sensible, and he is about the same age as Erbao. Besides, her father is Li Zheng, with him as a backer, our Zhong family can stand more firmly in the village..."

It's really not easy for people with foreign surnames to stay here. If the Zhong family is poor, they will at most be bullied and excluded, but if they are too rich, people will be jealous, and things will be troublesome.

Marrying Chunxiang from Rizheng's family is the best.

"However, it's based on Erbao's wishes. If he doesn't like it, it's useless to talk too much. I still want to take the happiness of my brothers as the standard, and nothing else..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

"I'll ask tonight," Zhong Gensheng said with a smile, "Chunxiang is not bad, but before worrying about Erbao's marriage, should we worry about Sibao, he is the same age as Dabao?"
