Happy peasant girl

Chapter 273 The Three Women Attack (1)
After that, Linqingxi returned to Nayuan and Xiuyuan, and said the same thing to all the female workers, asking them to send someone from the same village to go back, and see if there are any children in the village who are willing to help catch apple snails. A bag is a penny. The bags were also taken back by them.

Two days later, many cheerful children appeared in the paddy fields of Lishui Bay and Beishan Bay. They happily bent down in the paddy fields and touched the apple snails along the roots of the rice seedlings. The action of apple snails is very fast. Some boys touch more than 100 bags a day and earn more than 100 cash.

Later, when I heard that Linqingxi recruited children to touch apple snails, many children also came to Lishui Bay and Beishan Bay. There was no need to sign any contract documents, as long as they promised not to step on the seedlings and touched more apple snails, Linqingxi would give them They distributed rain boots and cloth bags, and paid them the same day.

As for the caught apple snails, some of them were sent to Yingxian Restaurant in Linqingxi, some were sent to Yipinxiang, and some were sold raw at the vegetable market in Fucheng, and the price was very cheap.

Within half a month, the number of apple snails in the paddy fields began to decrease significantly, and because fish were still raised in the paddy fields, the growth of rice was getting better and better.

In September and October, it rarely rains in Yunzhou, and the sunshine time begins to become stronger. Linqingxi has a hunch that her rice will usher in a bumper harvest.

At the end of October, the weather here in Yunzhou was still warm, but Linqingxi heard from Wei Xuan that some places in the extreme north of Chu Kingdom had already started to snow.

The wheat seeds that Lu Zhiming rented out should have been returned to Linqingxi in August and September, but because of the disaster in the south of Chu State, the original grain in the treasury became military grain.

Therefore, Lu Zhiming had to postpone the return period for another year, and transported the food returned by all the people directly from Yunzhou to the affected area.

Fortunately, the grain in Linqingxi and Pingling County can be used for turnover, and she doesn't think there is any problem. The thousands of acres of land in Linjia Village are still covered with weeds.

At first, people in Linyuan Mountain and Linjia Village saw that thousands of acres of land in Linqingxi were deserted, and even covered with grass, so they wanted to help him weed. At this time, Linqingxi told them that those were not ordinary weeds. Grass, but a special grass used for fattening. In doubt, several companies also followed Linqingxi to learn.

There have been vendors imitating mille-soled cloth shoes in both Wu and Chu countries, because there is no "trademark law" at this time, and Linqingxi does not advocate the use of violence, so the counterfeiters in Chu State, Linqingxi did not spend time pursue.

It was a little different in Wu State. Xin Moyang asked Han Xiao to clean up everything, and directly issued a notice that only Han's family could sell cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles and Hunan embroidery clothes and shoes, which was really a "monopoly".

In nearly half a year, great changes have taken place in Linjia Village. Many villagers' houses have been refurbished, and some have even built new houses.

The Xiyuan near Qingxi River has doubled in size, and two courtyards have been built on the original basis. Each courtyard has become a two-story building, and the living place has also changed.

In addition, Xiyuan also built several large warehouses separately, and each warehouse was guarded by a special person.

Linqingxi lives alone in the last courtyard of Xiyuan, which has a living room, and there are wing rooms on both sides of the living room. Haitong and Hailan live in the east wing and west wing respectively. Linqingxi lives on the second floor, with her bedroom above. , study room, small living room, tea room and a special wash room.

Jasmine, Qiangwei, Hibiscus, Lily of the Valley and Narcissus, Begonia, Furong, and Xiaoxiao lived upstairs and downstairs respectively in the courtyard in front of Linqing Creek. They all lived in wing rooms with a small side hall.

Now, the eight people have been recognized by outsiders as the "eight stewards" around Linqingxi, and they are also Linqingxi's right-hand men.

The front two enter the courtyard, one enters all the maidservants living in Xiyuan, the other enters the male servants living in Xiyuan, Xiangxu and Tongsheng have moved to live in the old Linjia ancestral house.

The ancestral house of the old Lin's family has also changed, and it has become a large courtyard with four entrances. Each courtyard has two separate small courtyards, which were prepared by Linyuan Mountain and Linzhong Kingdom for the six brothers of the old Lin's family. of.

In the front courtyard, besides Linyuan Mountain, Ye family, Lin Zhongguo, Mu family, Lin Qingxi, there are Xiangxu and Tong Sheng, and Huai family also comes to live occasionally.

As for Wei Xuan, Xin Moyang, Dong Ying and others, they lived in the newly renovated hospital, and became real "close neighbors" with Jing Xiu.

The Na Garden, the Xiu Garden and the newly built wine garden have also doubled in size on the original basis. Although the number of people has not increased, it does not appear empty.

Linqingxi also asked people to plant flowers, plants and trees in all the gardens, and put lotus ponds in them. Water lilies and small fish were planted in them, which looked pleasing to the eye and fresh and natural.

The only thing left to do was to harvest the rice. Lin Qingxi let her subordinates perform their duties, and she herself was not idle.Han Xiao not only brought a lot of teal ducks from Wu, but also brought her a lot of eggs.

"Han Xiao, thank you so much, these things are very important to me." Lin Qingxi said happily when he saw the teals, chickens and baskets of eggs unloaded from the carriage.

"Miss Qingxi, don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank my young master. It was he who passed the letter to me, saying that girl, you want a lot of these poultry." Han Xiao said with a smile.

The state of Wu has much more poultry and livestock than the state of Chu, but even if there are many, it is difficult to find a large number of teal ducks that Linqingxi needs in a very short period of time. Bring more than 200 teals.

Also, Xin Moyang said that the Xiyuan in Linqingxi had been saving eggs, and he was reluctant to eat them, so he asked Han Xiao to get more eggs from Wu Guo.

However, many eggs stink on the way. Fortunately, in addition to more than 200 teals, he also brought more than 100 chickens to Linqingxi, including roosters and hens. He let people save the eggs.

Xin Moyang handled this matter so beautifully, Lin Qingxi silently credited him a great credit in his heart, thinking that he would repay him twice in the future.

Lin Qingxi hurriedly asked Lin Qingmu to bring someone to make a rectangular wooden frame for her, and then asked several female workers in Nayuan to sew a lot of kapok quilts for her. In addition, she made a lot of hot water bags with tarpaulins.

Afterwards, she asked people to put the finished wooden frame on the kang bed of the nursery house, then spread a soft cloth on the bottom of the frame, and put high-temperature water bags around the wooden frame, and then put her on a special egg tray. There are more than 1000 and [-] eggs in total, including the eggs selected by myself and the original eggs of Xiyuan.

Finally, I covered it with a thick kapok quilt, and stood beside the wooden frame to adjust the temperature in the wooden frame. Because there was no accurate thermometer, Linqingxi used his own body to sense it.
