Mrs. Liu looked at it for a few days, and couldn't help but said to Madam Liu: "He is too honest, he hasn't changed a bit after all these years."
Mother Liu smiled, "Why don't I ask him to teach the young master more?"
"Forget it, I chose him because he was honest and obedient. If you mentioned something, he would think about it a little bit, and the three children would tell him later, and he would come to ask me again, but I was the one who bothered me." Liu exhaled. He said angrily and with a smile: "Forget it, fortunately there is the whole old Zhou's family behind Man Bao, so you don't have to be afraid of them doing something too wrong."
That's true, behind Man Bao stands the entire think tank of the old Zhou family.
In terms of farming, they dare not say that they are number one in Qili Village, but they can at least rank among the top three.
Although it was said that the 20 mu of land was given to Man Bao to play with, it was impossible for Lao Zhou to not ask.
Seeing that the New Year's Eve is approaching, and the end of the New Year is spring, the old Zhou asked Man Bao, "How many acres of beans, how many acres of wheat, and how many acres of rice do you plan to plant in the field? Are the seeds ready? ?”
So Man Bao was stunned and asked, "Didn't the family start to prepare after the next year?"
"Yes, but don't you guys want to go to school?" Old Zhou glanced at her and said, "You won't leave such important matters as seeds to the servants, will you?"
He said: "This is a big deal. Whether a year's harvest will be good or not depends half on the weather and half on the seeds. This cannot be sloppy. You are young and there are not many people. You should prepare earlier."
Man Bao went to Bai Shanbao to discuss the matter of seeds.
Only then did Bai Shanbao realize that they had to prepare the seeds themselves.
So the two went to find Mrs. Liu.
Liu said with a smile: "Your seeds have to be bought from the county seat. Do you think you should buy them yourself, or let Baizhuangtou go?"
Bai Shanbao looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao's heart moved, should their seeds be authentic, or should they be mixed with future ones
Bai Shanbao and Manbao decided to discuss it, mainly because the total number of seeds needed in the field had not yet been calculated.
In fact, this is not difficult, especially after having Baizhuangtou.
Bai Shanbao took out the data collected before, and asked Bai Zhuangtou to go to the former permanent worker to find out the situation.
There are very few crops in Qili Village, either rice, wheat, or beans, um, all kinds of beans, and soybeans are the main one.
The two children decided to plant simple and rough things. This year, those who planted beans changed to wheat, and those who planted wheat changed to beans, and the fields can only grow rice.
With Baizhuangtou here, they quickly calculated the number of acres that each crop could grow, and the number of seeds needed for an acre was about the same. Manbao and the others calculated it easily on paper.
The amount of wheat and rice is fine. When it was the turn of beans, Man Bao felt that it would be too boring to only grow beans, so she said: "You can also grow black beans, red beans, mung beans, kidney beans..."
Bai Shanbao nodded again and again, "Didn't the plan you brought earlier say that you want to raise chickens at the foot of the mountain? You have to set aside some land to grow vegetables, right? Do chickens eat vegetables?"
Bai Shanbao almost forgot if he didn't mention Manbao, she cheered up and said, "There are still fruit trees to be planted on the mountain."
Bai Erlang, who was struggling to do his homework, couldn't continue, so he leaned over and asked, "What kind of fruit tree do you want to plant?"
Man Bao said: "I like to eat pears."
This is also the only fruit she can eat. It is a pear from a wild fruit tree on the mountain. It is a little sour, but Man Bao also thinks it is delicious.
Every year, the Zhou brothers can get her back as long as they go up the mountain, no money required.
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang liked more, so they counted on their fingers, "I like apples, peaches, and oranges..."
"I also like peaches, oranges, and cherries."
Man Bao stared at them blankly, and said after a while, "I only ate apples and peaches..."
It was what Mrs. Zheng gave her when she came to Bai's house as a guest, but it was not her own home, so it was impossible to let her eat it.
When he thought of planting fruit trees in his farm, and eating as much as he wanted in the future, Man Bao couldn't help being excited, "Can you find fruit tree seedlings?"
Bai Shanbao said: "You have to ask grandma."
Bai Erlang: "You can still ask my father, my father is amazing."
So they went to ask the adults.
When Master Bai heard that their actions were so big, they wanted to open up the forty acres of land on the mountain and plant them with fruit trees. He was worried for a while, "Do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed to open the mountain? You have to cut down the trees and weeds first." Now, I have to clear the stones, then dig a hole to plant trees, and it may take three to two years to bear fruit. With this effort, I can buy you fruits that will last for ten years."
Tossing and tossing the 120 mu of land is almost the same, and it is too hard to think about going to the tossing mountain.
But the third child, who had just discussed the fruit, was obviously unwilling to compromise, and said, "We will plant fruit trees."
Man Bao was a little more tactful, mainly because she knew how expensive money was, so she said: "We can plant some at the foot of the mountain first, um, just plant twenty trees!"
Bai Shanbao disliked it, "It's so rare."
Bai Erlang worried, "What if I don't live?"
"Then grow a little more," Bai Shanbao said, "Plant forty trees, ten peach trees, ten apple trees and ten orange trees."
It's all what I like to eat.
Bai Erlang was not happy anymore, "There are still cherries, and we need to plant ten more."
Man Bao scratched his head, "Do you want to plant pear trees?"
It seems that it can be picked on the mountain.
Keke said, "Host, wild and planted fruit trees are different. Most of the wild fruits are not as good as the cultivated ones. The pear branches collected by the host have been bred for two generations. If you are interested in the host, you can find them in Wikipedia. Repurchase in the library. As an indexer, you will have a discount if you purchase products within the fifth generation."
Man Bao's eyes sparkled, and he asked in his heart, "Then I collect all the apples and peaches and then repurchase the new varieties cultivated by them, will there be discounts as well?"
"In the future, these two types of fruits will be very common. After the acquisition of the host, if a research institute takes over the research and cultivation, it will be fine."
I'm afraid that no one will study it. After the target object is thrown into the encyclopedia, it will be thrown to the logistics to find a place to plant, and then give Manbao a little point to encourage and encourage it. Well, it is the same as those crops that she collected in the past that will not be lacking in the future. Same.
When Man Bao heard it, she understood. Although she was slightly disappointed, she quickly argued with her two friends, "We still have to plant some pear trees."
So forty fruit trees were not enough, and Bai Shanbao wanted to expand the scale with a wave of his small hand. Master Bai hurriedly said before him: "I will plant only forty trees, and there will be no more. You can discuss what kind of trees you want to plant."
So the eyes of the three children collided, Man Bao said: "I only plant pear trees!"
So Bai Shanbao went to stare at Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang was not afraid of him, he also stared back, "I must grow cherries!"
"Hmph, let's divide it equally between each person. The three of us will share forty trees, and each person will have thirteen fruit trees. Plant whatever you want."
Man Bao felt that this was fair, so he took the lead in agreeing.
Bai Erlang thought about it for a while and had no opinion, just asked, "What about the remaining one?"
Without thinking, Bai Shanbao pointed at Man Bao and said, "Man Bao is the youngest and a girl, let her choose!"
