As soon as Bai Erlang left, Bai Shanbao said to Manbao: "One pear tree can bear a lot of fruit, you can plant three pears, and I can plant the remaining eleven pear trees for other fruit trees."
Man Bao was asking Keke about the fruit trees that can be planted here, when he heard that he shook his head and said, "No, it seems that jujubes can be grown here, I want to plant jujube trees."
The main reason is that jujube has a great effect. It has appeared in medical books more than once. She thinks it is much better than pears and apples.
Bai Shanbao didn't expect that Man Bao didn't agree, and his cheeks puffed up for a while.
There are not many fruit seedlings that Master Bai can find. Seeing the three children chattering about wanting to plant this and that, he couldn't help but said: "Okay, okay, you have to think about what can be planted here, can't you?" What to plant, don’t try to plant anything.”
Bai Shanbao: "Then uncle, what do you think can be grown here?"
Master Bai counted them with his fingers, "The apples, peaches, oranges, and cherries you mentioned are all fine. There are also pears and dates. Besides, there are also loquats and plums. Choose your own."
The three children met each other, Man Bao said: "A tree can bear many fruits, we can plant all of them."
Bai Shanbao counted several species and said: "Eight species, then five trees of each species should be enough for us to eat."
Master Bai: ... So you plant fruit trees not to make money, but to satisfy your appetite
After hesitating, Bai Erlang agreed to the distribution plan, he murmured, "Say it earlier, there is no need to argue about it yesterday."
The point is that they didn't know yesterday that Master Bai could get so many kinds of fruit trees.
The three children looked at Master Bai together, their eyes sparkling, "These fruit trees must be available for purchase, right?"
Faced with their doubts, Master Bai remained expressionless, "I will try my best."
Of course, this is not very difficult for him, and the quantity is not large, just five fruit trees of one kind.
So Bai Shanbao gave an order, and Bai Zhuangtou began to look for a suitable place to plant fruit trees on the mountain.
He doesn't know how to plant those fruit trees, but based on his decades of farming experience, he can choose a place that is relatively flat, with fertile soil, and easy to water.
So he turned around the mountain, and finally chose the northeast, a large area transitioning from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
The soil there is more fertile.
So the trees there are also very dense.
Taking advantage of the winter, Bai Zhuangtou led the long-term workers to cut down all the trees in the selected area, and after drying, he could build a chicken coop at the foot of the mountain.
That's right, after a heated debate between Bai Shanbao and Man Bao, the two finally reached an agreement and still decided to raise chickens on the wasteland at the foot of the mountain as planned.
Of course, in order to prevent the chickens from becoming pheasants, they need to circle a place to put a fence and build a chicken shed.
In addition, several thatched huts have to be built for the long-term workers, so there are quite a lot of trees needed.
Now there are only three long-term workers in Xiaozhuangzi, and Mrs. Liu took it over from Master Bai, but it is obviously impossible to rely on these three long-term workers for so many things.
So Mrs. Liu generously took part of the money to hire part-time workers.
Man Bao was the first to get the moon because she was close to the water, so she signed up for her brothers first.
Just after selling all the ginger and others, Zhou Zhoulang and others, who were resting at home recently, rolled up their sleeves and went to work.
Old Zhou took a look, and asked Xiaoqian and Feng to go too, saying: "I don't need wages, I just treat it as helping your younger sister."
Of course Xiaoqian had no objection.
The three children said they wanted to raise chickens, but they didn't know how to raise the chickens. And the three long-term workers obviously didn't know much about it. The fence was loose and loose, and it could stop the big adult chickens. The smaller chickens didn't need to go through, and they probably swaggered in and out like shopping.
Xiaoqian took Feng to re-tie the fence, walked around the cleared wasteland at the foot of the mountain, pushed the chicken coop that had already been built and changed the location...
Bai Zhuang looked at it with his head, his face was slightly red.
The Bai family hired a lot of workers this time, because Man Bao and the others decided to clean up the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.
Don't care about the stone, but all the weeds and trees must be cut.
Then the tree stumps on the mountainside in the northeast will also be dug out, and then the grass will be cut and hoeed, which is not a small project.
There is no hard labor this year, and everyone hibernates early in the slack season. Oh, no, it is winter rest, so the young and strong in the village are idle and have nothing to do.
Only then did the Bai family spread the word that they wanted to hire short-term laborers, and the villagers immediately flocked to them.
Baizhuangtou selected twelve young men, and with the help of Xiaoqian and Feng, the construction of Xiaozhuangzi was proceeding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the thatched house that was intended to be roughly built was replaced by a yellow mud house after Bai Shanbao and the others came to see it once, which is much more spacious and bright than the originally planned mud house.
Man Bao looked at the three long-term workers curiously, seeing them squatting on the stone with disheveled hair, grabbing a steamed bun and gnawing on it, he couldn't help squatting opposite them with his own steamed bun.
The three long-term workers and Man Bao looked at each other, then silently turned and pointed their backs at her.
Man Bao got up and ran to squat in front of them again, continuing to eat steamed buns facing them.
Three long-term workers: ...
One of the long-term workers, who was so dirty that his face could not be seen clearly, swallowed the last bit of steamed buns in his hand, and asked, "Miss Man, do you have any orders?"
Man Bao shook his head, paused and then nodded.
She looked at the three long-term workers curiously.
The three of them were wearing the blue cloth clothes that the servants of the Bai family often wore, but the clothes on the three of them were dirtier, with several holes in them, without even patches.
His hair was disheveled and his hands and face were dirty.
It's not the first time Man Bao has seen these three people, but she didn't pay much attention to them before. After all, she has little time and spends a lot of time here, most of the time she talks to Bai Zhuangtou.
But today they rested, she has been here since the morning, and walked around here and there, and there are so many people here today, in contrast, the three of them are very conspicuous.
Man Bao thinks they are too sloppy.
It is her laziest fourth brother, who is not as dirty as them when he is the dirtiest.
So after hesitating, she still couldn't help asking, "Don't your mother beat you?"
If her brothers dared to come home so dirty, her mother would let her father beat them up.
The three long-term workers were a little frustrated, and said, "Why did our mother beat us?"
Man Bao hesitated for a moment and said, "Because you don't wash your hair?"
The three long-term workers touched another steamed bun, continued to chew, and said indifferently: "Our mother is far away from us, she is not here, so she can't beat us."
"What about your daughter-in-law? You look older than my fourth brother."
The three long-term workers were even more worried, "Miss Man, if we can marry a daughter-in-law, will we still be used as long-term workers?"
Man Bao was stunned and asked, "You are long-term workers. Isn't it very profitable to be a worker? You have jobs every day."
Look at her brothers, every time they finish their work at home, they start to stare at Landlord Bai's house. Whenever Landlord Bai's family is recruited, they will go there. They earn at least fifteen cash a day, and they can earn one hundred and fifty cash in ten days.
