The reborn girl is good for farming

Chapter 20 20 Homestead

That night, the family tasted Li Xiaolan's outstanding craftsmanship, and finally unanimously agreed that the kitchen at home will be owned by Lanhua.Wang Guixiang and Li Siniu are quite happy. The country girls are good at cooking, and they can increase their bargaining chips in the future. Lanhua is already 10 years old. In this age when you can get married at 15 or 16, you are also half of the labor force. .

Of course, it is not easy for Li Xiaolan to make this steamed custard, because her family has no salt.Although a seasoning jar was allocated, it was empty.

The poor people here generally don't pay much attention to cooking, they just stew in a pot, trying to get enough food and clothing.Sure enough, my stomach is not full, so why talk about taste?

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. In the end, Li Xiaolan was clever and thought of the salted radish her mother had given her.This salty radish was secretly picked up by her mother when she was pickling and drying last year, and it was only a small handful.Her mother was embarrassed when she said it, but Li Xiaolan gave her a thumbs up and encouraged her, saying: Awesome!Wang Guixiang does the same work as a man in this family, but eats less food than the women in the family. The labor and harvest are out of proportion. It is a big deal to steal carrots.When they didn't know, some people didn't know how many eggs they ate.

In the end, the salt was replaced with minced salted radish, and a bowl of custard conquered everyone's stomach.

After dinner, they went to bed early. Her father was already very tired after running around all day. They agreed to get up early tomorrow to go to see the homestead.

After Li Xiaolan's operation today, Li Siniu and Wang Guixiang completely treated her like a little adult, and subtly, Li Xiaolan had the right to speak in this family.The main reason is that Li Siniu and Wang Guixiang are also in charge of affairs for the first time, and they have no idea, thinking that everyone can discuss it together, and they can also check for gaps and make up for them.

After a simple breakfast the next day, the few of them went out for a stroll.

"Father, what size house do you plan to buy?" Li Xiaolan thought to herself that the house should be bigger and have more rooms, so that no matter how many children her mother has in the future, she can live in a house by herself.

"The imperial court stipulates that a family can house up to half an acre of homestead, and if it exceeds the limit, it will charge three times the silver. One mu of homestead is 6 taels of silver."

"It's so expensive..." Li Xiaolan calculated in her heart that one mu equals 666.7 square meters, and half an mu equals 333 square meters.Oh, not bad, we can build a big yard, but the homestead is expensive.

"Our Great Beijing Dynasty is very strict with land management. Paddy fields are 12 taels per mu, dry land is 8 taels per mu, and homesteads are counted as wasteland, because wasteland can be turned into dry land or paddy fields after being reclaimed, so it is not cheap. It costs 6 taels and one mu. If we want to open up wasteland, we need to pay 6 taels and one mu. Then we can exempt from tax for three years. " Li Siniu looked at Lanhua's strong thirst for knowledge, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.Just talking about it and feeling lost again, that little ingot can buy two acres of paddy fields, as expected he has to work harder.

"Then we'll buy half an acre of homestead. If we don't have enough money to build a house, we can build a high wall to surround it first. Except for the house, the remaining land can be used to grow vegetables, and there will be no need to pay taxes after three years. "Li Xiaolan still hoped that the house would be bigger, so she said foolishly.

Li Siniu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Father, father, we can make a good plan, the big house is so comfortable."

Li Siniu thought of the cramped house he had lived in for half his life and the vows he had made to his wife, and immediately said proudly, "Okay, it's only half an acre!"
