Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 177 Ginseng Seeds

The way to use cement has already been explained by the seller.Yuxian also knew something about this, so after the foundation was laid, the project was suspended for a few days.Just at this time, the seedlings had already come out in the fields of each family, and everyone went back to clean up the fields.The Tong family members also took a breath. These days, they are all exhausted.Even the children, going up and down the mountain and taking care of the livestock at home, Yuxian's tired feet hurt every day.

After finally resting for a few days, Yuxian remembered that the ginseng seeds picked last year should be sent out.She found out the small cloth bag where the ginseng seeds were placed, and there could be two handfuls of ginseng seeds in it.These ginseng seeds cannot be planted directly, but must be fermented and opened.Yuxian asked her brothers for help, found a place in the garden, and rammed loess into an earthen platform.Then I made a frame with wood, mixed ginseng seeds, black soil and sand, put them in the wooden frame on the soil platform, and covered it with a layer of soil.Finally, a wooden shed should be built on top of the earthen platform, with some grass on top to ensure that no rainwater would leak in.In this way, it will be fermented until autumn. Yuxian saw her grandfather do it in her previous life.At that time, all the people in Donggang pointed to planting ginseng, so she was no stranger to this thing.However, these are ginseng seeds of wild ginseng, so I don't know if this method will work or not.It is not so easy to domesticate wild species. Just like those animals raised at home, a deer has died.Fortunately, they were all caught from the mountains, and there was no capital, otherwise, Yuxian would die of heartache.

"Little sister, can you do it like this?" Xiao Si asked.

"I'm not sure. Let's try it. When the ginseng seeds mature this year, let's go into the mountains to find those ginseng. You don't need to dig them back, just pinch the ginseng seeds. I don't believe it. If it doesn't work in a year, it will only take two years." Years, if two years fail, it will be three years. One day, I will succeed." Yuxian's obsession came up again.

"Little sister, if you have anything to do, ask us to do it, and we will help you together. Don't believe me, we can't grow this ginseng?" Haoyu expressed his support for Yuxian, and the people around him also agreed.

Erlang and Bowen went to school again after the Dragon Boat Festival, and Mr. Chen was going to give them some special lectures about the college entrance examination.It is still every ten days, come back once, just at home today.The two went to Yuan Qingyun again. Every time they learned something new in the school, they would discuss it with Yuan Qingyun.

After Yuxian finished handling the ginseng seeds, she squatted in the garden with her brothers and weeded.Fang called them over there, "Yuxian, mother is going to do the laundry, will you follow?"

So a large group of people followed Fang to wash clothes by the river.Now Fang's clothes are washed with soap, this thing is really easy to use, lightly dabbing on the clothes, it is much cleaner than washing with plant ash.Fang liked this new thing very much, and took a few yuan to give to those people who got along well. Everyone asked, where did this thing come from.The Fang family said that Yuxian brought it back from the capital, and maybe there will be some for sale in this town at some point.Everyone is looking forward to it, but everyone thinks the price of the soap is too expensive.

The washed clothes have been rinsed well in the river, but they are still dried on the big rocks.There are quite a few people by the river doing laundry there.A while ago, I was busy working as a helper, and there was a lot of unwashed clothes at home, and now I haven't taken them all out for washing.A group of daughters-in-law were laughing, talking and washing clothes there.After a while, someone finished washing and went home with a basin.It's not near the river, and I think it's a waste of time to dry clothes here.Some also hang clothes directly on the stone, which dries quickly.

"Sister-in-law Tong, when will your family's ancestral hall start laying bricks? We have to arrange the time, or the work in the field is not finished yet?" a daughter-in-law asked.

"About six or seven days later, we'll see how busy everyone is. I have to see if you are free, and I can't let you lose all the work. Just come and help me." Fang Answer while scrubbing clothes.Although it is said that the wages of thirty yuan a day are still paid for helping workers, but they can't let people leave the land alone.

"At that time, the work in the field will be over. My family will definitely help. Don't say that my sister-in-law's family pays back wages, even if they don't pay wages, we folks in the village can't just watch." The daughter-in-law next to Zhuzi said.Her home is also quite close to the river, and she came here from Beitou today just to join in the fun.

"That's right. This year, all of our households have made money at Sister-in-law Tong's house. In the spring, the work at Sister-in-law's house has never stopped. My family has earned a total of one or two taels of silver. If this In previous years, didn't you all stay at home?" Huzi's wife also said. "Sister-in-law, your family has spent a lot of wages this year. This is due to your family's living well. Otherwise, where can you get this large sum of money? But then again, if the times are bad, you can't buy mountains. isn't it?"

"The wages are quite a lot. Yun Song just feels that it is not easy for everyone, and my family also has a lot of work. I am sorry to always ask you to help, and some wages can be regarded as a little bit of our thought." Stop, after rubbing the clothes, just hit it again with the mallet.

Chunmei and Chunxing also washed clothes there. There are so many children in the family, and they go up the mountain all day long, so there is no way for clothes to be discarded. They have accumulated a lot of them.Yuxian and the others were there floating and drying clothes, very busy.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou walked towards the river, without any clothes in her hand, and shouted from a distance: "Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you, we have to discuss it. Yongfu of the elder sister's family is getting married, let's take a look." Give me something? I think we can discuss it, don't repeat it." Just as he finished speaking, he came to the front.

"Yongfu is going to get married? Why don't I know?" Fang raised her head and asked.

Zhuzi's daughter-in-law next to him said: "Sister-in-law, you have been busy fooling around all day, how do you know about other people's affairs? Then Luo Yongfu hooked up with a little widow in their village. Now that widow is married, can't you get married?" ?” His sister-in-law is in Daying Village, so she knows more about it.

As soon as Yuxian heard these people talking about this kind of pornographic news, she gave her brothers a wink, and everyone walked further down.This kind of thing is not something children should listen to.

The Zhou family also said: "No, that little widow is very powerful. She said that if Yongfu is not allowed to marry her, she will sue the officials, saying that Yongfu bullied her. She would rather be punished than be arrested." Yongfu. Eldest sister has nothing to do, so I agreed. I see, this time elder sister has met a match, and the widow is not easy to mess with. My mother told me just now that I got married in a few days, so I thought about it , let's discuss it, and give something suitable." There is no need to hide things that outsiders know, just say it directly. "I thought it would be enough to send some fabric, but Shuzhen said to send the right pillowcase, where is my sister-in-law?"

Fang thought about it, "I really don't know what to give, let's give the right mattress noodles." This is similar to the other two. "At that time, you can help me take it there, the family is too busy, and I have to work in a few days."

"Success, that's it. I'll come back before I leave. Sister-in-law, I have to go back. Yuyan and Junqi are the only ones at home. Junqi is just being mischievous. You can't see it without seeing it." Junqi is four years old , It was time to do it, Zhou was worried, so he hurried home.

In Tong's old house, Qin Shi and Liu Shi quarreled again.When the family first separated, Mrs. Liu treated them well in order to please Mrs. Qin.But the old lady is also very firm about money, except for buying some meat, other money will not be taken out.Gradually, Mrs. Liu became less fond of her.During the Chinese New Year, the things that Yun Song and Yun Feng sent, Qin didn't give them to Liu, but put them away.What can Mrs. Liu do?She doesn't cook, or she cooks and her sons pick and eat the good ones first.Don't look at Qin's treatment of Fang's so viciously, but now he can't treat Liu's like that.Yun Bai is the eldest son, Liu is the eldest daughter-in-law, they must stay with the eldest son.And Yun Feng and Yun Hua showed their attitude again, they refused to live with the old couple.Therefore, the Qin family can only have good ones, and cook them by themselves. If there are no good ones, everyone will eat them together.

Today Yunlian came to talk about Yongfu's marriage, and the two mothers cried bitterly there.Then the old lady took out a pair of silver bracelets and gave Yunlian a few taels of silver, hoping to help her get her daughter back.Don't care if you are a widow or not, it's good to be able to marry a daughter-in-law.Unexpectedly, if Mrs. Liu saw it, Mrs. Liu would still be willing, and she would scold her while standing in the yard.The essence of those cursing people is more than that of the old lady. It is simply better than the blue.The old lady finally couldn't bear it any longer, and went out to scold Mrs. Liu.In the end, he became ruthless, saying that he wanted to drive Yun Bai's family away.Only then did Mrs. Liu stop.

Qin Shi entered the house angrily, but the old man was not there, so he went out to work in the field.Yun Lian persuaded her mother, and after a long time of persuasion, Qin's anger finally calmed down. "What crime do you think I did? The second and third child refuse to live with me. Only the eldest is willing, and there is such a woman who can't even cook well all day long. Your father is sick, and she doesn't even have medicine. They refused to fry them properly, and then the second child’s family fried them and asked Yuyan to bring them over. Your father would be better off. All my life, I’ve spent my heart and soul on them, but in the end, I changed them. Come to such an end. Yunlian, you have to remember in the future, you can’t favor one thing or another for your daughter-in-law, it won’t do any good.” Only then did the old lady think of regretting it. "If I had treated Yun Song and his wife better, would I be able to enjoy happiness with them now? Look at Yun Song, he has been busy this spring, and he has taken out a lot of wages alone. Hey, mother now I regret it, but in this world, there is no one who sells regret medicine?" Qin said, tears came down again. "Your father's health is failing, and he can't do these jobs anymore. If we don't follow Yun Bai and the others, how can we live on our own?"

　The third is delivered.
