Pastoral little master

Chapter 266
"What's the reason?" Qiduo asked calmly.

The last time Si Zao went to take out the waste bean sprouts, it showed that they had encountered a problem.

Erlang must be wondering where the problem is, so he must come to her house to see.

But in the past few days, he has been cut off from his way to enter his yard. If he wants to enter the bean sprouts room, he must find a way.
A little curious what trick they came up with.
"He said that the bean sprouts we sent over were a little bad. We said that all the bean sprouts were good, but he insisted that they were bad. When we couldn't resolve the dispute, he said that whether the bean sprouts were good or bad couldn't just be our opinion. Just take a look and you'll know the truth." Liuju explained.

"How did you deal with it in the end?" Qi Duo asked.

These days, their family should have wasted a lot of soybeans and mung beans.

Before the family was separated, the soybeans and mung beans were all locked by the Zhao family. They couldn't get them. They had to spend money to buy them. A catty of beans cost nearly ten cents.

It was not easy for them to hide money. In the past, Erlang Shilang worked behind Tan Deyin, and all the money he earned was handed over to the Zhao family. The only thing that could be hidden was the extra money given by the generous master.

But such people are very few.

So in their eyes, ten pennies is not a small sum, how can they not feel distressed and anxious.

In a hurry, he found such an excuse.

Let’s not talk about it, this excuse is really not bad, under common sense, if someone says something is wrong with your home, in order to prove your innocence during the dispute, you will definitely take others to see the same thing left at home.

Especially Erxia didn't have too much thoughtfulness, she would definitely take Erlang into the bean sprout room in a hurry.

Fortunately, he had been vaccinated in advance, otherwise Erlang's trick would have succeeded.

Liuju raised her chin triumphantly, "Hmph, the eldest sister told Erlang that the bean sprouts in our house never rot. If Erlang thinks the bean sprouts are not good, he will not sell them from tomorrow. But the bean sprouts room, any outsider Do not enter!"

Qiduo looked at Erxia and gave a thumbs up, "Sister, well said."

"It's not over yet." Liuju continued, "Seeing that Erlang couldn't enter the bean sprout room, he asked us to return the money for today's bean sprouts, saying that the bean sprouts were broken and he couldn't sell them. Then the elder sister asked him to return the broken bean sprouts." Bring the bean sprouts here, and if it’s really from the family, I’ll give him a penny back.”

"Then what did he say?" Qiduo asked with great interest.

"He just said to go home and get it, but it's been so long, and he hasn't come back yet. Hmph, you're full of lies, how can you get any bean sprouts, shameless." Liuju scolded angrily.

"Ju, don't be angry. It's not worth being angry with such a shameless person. It's not worth getting angry with him." Er Xia comforted in a warm voice.

Qiduo looked at Erxia and praised again, "Sister, I found that you are very imposing now, and your words and actions are much tougher than before. This is good, and I won't worry about you being bullied in the future."

Erxia blushed, and said with some embarrassment, "Duo, in fact, the reason I can do this now is because I know that you are behind me to support me, so I dare."

Qiduo nodded, yes, this is the strength of family unity.

Without her family to rely on behind her, and she couldn't let go of the fight, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Next, the three sisters united again, even if they didn't do Erlang's business, they wouldn't let his scheme succeed.

After lunch, Qiduo took a nap for a while, and when she got up, the rain had stopped and the sky was much brighter.

Tan Dejin called her to the main house, and talked to her about building the sauce workshop.

The courtyard wall of the homestead has been fenced off, and the weeds inside have been cleared away. Now it is time to plan how to build the house and what it will look like.

Qiduo suggested that everyone go to the homestead to have a look, and then make a decision based on the situation on the spot.

Both Tan Dejin and Xu agreed.

If Tan Debao was at home, he would definitely have to help make up the mind on this matter. If he was not at home, he would call Mr. Tan.

Hearing that the soy sauce shop was going to be built, Mr. Tan was very excited, "So you didn't lie to me, what you said is true."

Tan Dejin hurriedly said, "Father, we will not lie to others, let alone father."

"Well, okay, let's go, let's take a look." Mr. Tan's voice was almost choked up.

Liuju and Erxia stayed at home to look after the house, while Tan Dejin, his wife, Qiduo and Mr. Tan went to see the homestead.

Arriving at the homestead, the first thing that catches the eye is the high stone wall.

The wall opens to the south.
The door is at the stone gate, Qiduo looked around, the tall weeds were cleared away, and the sight was clear and refreshing, and the vision was much wider.

However, the ruins and broken tiles of Jiangfang still exist, repeatedly reminding future generations not to forget that it was once brilliant.
After discussion, it is planned to build a big house with three entrances first. The front yard is the production workshop of the sauce workshop and the workers live, the second entrance is used as a warehouse, and the back yard is the house where Qiduo's family and Tan Debao lived. Except for the two families, other No one is allowed inside.

There are two wells in the front yard and one in the back yard. Whether it is for making soy sauce or Qiduo's daily water, it will be much more convenient to have a well, and there is no need to go to the river to fetch water.

It happens that it is not too far from the Shixi River, so it is more suitable to dig a well.
Tan Dejin and Mr. Tan calculated that two mu of land would be enough to set aside a spacious sauce-drying field.

The previous Jiangfang homestead had more than one mu, plus the five acres bought later, minus two acres, there was at least four acres to spare.
Qiduo wants to plant roses along the wall, not only when they bloom beautifully, but also to prevent thieves.

Who doesn't know that a rose is beautiful, but it also has many thorns.

And the rest of the land can be reclaimed for vegetable land, where vegetables, melons and fruits can be planted, and it should be enough for the canteen of Jiangfang and the family to eat at that time.You can also plant a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees, peach, apricot, persimmon and other fruit trees, so that all the land will not be left unused.

After listening to Qiduo's thoughts, Mr. Tan was the first to nod in approval, saying that she knows how to plan and live.

Tan Dejin decided to drive the cattle over to plow the land tomorrow, and then plant the whole field of vegetables, so that when he moves in, there will be vegetables to eat.

After discussing everything, everyone went home.

On the second day, Qiduo and the others really didn't send bean sprouts to Erlang.

But he himself came to the door on his own initiative, and Qiduo happened to be at home, so when he saw him, he asked, "What is Second Brother here for?"

"Come and get the bean sprouts." He replied very confidently.

"Didn't Second Brother say yesterday that all the bean sprouts in our house are bad? If so, even good things are called bad by you, we dare not sell you any more bean sprouts." Qi Duo's face turned serious.

No matter what his purpose is, the quality is not a casual joke, so let him talk nonsense.

"Look at what you said, Seventh Sister, the bean sprouts were rotten yesterday, so I'll come here to check them out in person, if they're still rotten, then forget it. I'm helping Saburo, if he doesn't do well, he'll blame me then. " Erlang said gently, with a good attitude.

Seeing what he said, Qiduo didn't say anything more.

Liuju and Erxia went into the bean sprout room to get bean sprouts, and Erlang naturally followed behind and wanted to go in too.

"Second brother, what do you want to do?" Qiduo reached out to block him.

"I went to see if the bean sprouts are rotten?" Erlang blinked his eyes and answered as a matter of course.

"No, my sister and the others will show it to you. No one is allowed to enter the bean sprout room." Qi Duo refused politely.

"I'm not an idler, Seventh Sister, you don't allow people to enter your bean sprouts room, maybe there's something..." Erlang suddenly said in a strange way.

Deliberately half-spoken, as if discovered some ulterior secret in the bean sprouts room, and caught Qiduo and the others.

Qiduo said seriously, "Second brother, you are right. The bean sprouts room is a place where bean sprouts grow. This is a secret. Of course, outsiders are not allowed to enter. If someone sees bean sprouts being made in this way, our business will be affected. .”

Speaking so bluntly, the corners of Erlang's eyes twitched, he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to go in.

After all, guilty conscience.

Erxia and Liuju showed him the bean sprouts.

"Second brother, you have to look carefully. The bean sprouts in our house are juicy and tender, and none of them are rotten. If you continue to slander us, we won't do it." Liuju said with her hands on her hips, very vehemently.

Erlang pretended to look at the bean sprouts, nodded impatiently, "Got it."

Then he moved away with the bean sprouts.

Alas, why did my beans rot as soon as they germinated, and some of them couldn’t even germinate, why their bean sprouts were white and fat, what went wrong with me?
I hate those dead girls who guard the door so tightly that even I can't get in.

bother!
Under the strict precautions of Qiduo's family, Erlang's trick has never succeeded.

These days Wen Xiuyi never came to Qiduo's house again, and Qiduo rarely went to the county town, the two of them never met each other.

Qiduo's main energy was concentrated on the few rows of vegetable and fruit seedlings in the vegetable field. Because there were a few more acres of land in the sauce shop, she opened another row of fields.
The land on the other side of the sauce shop has been reclaimed, and the fire dung has been burned, and the land will be leveled only after the fire dung is completely burned.

Vegetable and fruit seedlings grew very quickly, and under Tang Hu's arrangement, all the land on Luhuapo could be reorganized.
Qiduo sent all the seedlings to Luhuapo, and together with the workers, planted them by hand, expecting to harvest hope in a few months.
The lotus pond is already green, and the lotus leaves are getting bigger and bigger.

The ducklings on the other side of the fish pond have grown a pair of wings, and they are only spirited.

Everything is full of vitality and can only be harvested in autumn.

After working on the Luhuapo side, the rapeseed and wheat on the Tanjiazhuang side are also harvesting.

Qiduo's family has little labor to go to the fields, and Tan Debao's family has rapeseed and wheat, so they have to hire people to work.

Rapeseed and wheat have been harvested, the dry land is ready to be planted with yams, and the paddy fields are ready for late rice seedlings.

The rapeseed and wheat are all dried and put into the warehouse, and the rapeseed is only waiting to be sent to Kang's oil mill to be pressed into rapeseed oil in a few days.

The wheat is temporarily put in the warehouse, and when you want to eat flour, it will go to the mill to grind it into fine white flour.

However, most farmers keep the wheat and send it to noodle workshops to make noodles in late autumn, and keep it for eating after winter.

Next, Qiduo's family started to build a house, starting with the sauce shop.

And the Tan family's front yard has been busy with Erlang's marriage.

When Erlang got married, it was agreed at the beginning, but Shiro was asked to move out of the house and sit down, and vacated the room for Erlang and his wife to ask, and there was no need to pack the furniture inside.

But Mrs. Wu was not reconciled. It was her first time marrying a daughter-in-law, so she couldn't be so useless. Looking at the vacant east wing, her thoughts became lively.
