For the next two days, Lian Fangzhou only went with A Jian and Lian Ze, and did not bring Lian Fangqing and Lian Che with him, nor did Lian Ze bring a bow and arrow. He only promised him that when the work was over, he would definitely go hunting for two or three days.
She planned to dig more tree stumps in these two days, and then she would not go there.
In the past two days, the three of Lian Fangzhou dug back a total of more than 400 wild fruit trees that were used as rootstocks. More than 200 of them are wild persimmon trees.
Lian Fangzhou was not overjoyed when he accidentally found the wild persimmon forest.
There are two kinds of wild persimmon trees. One is actually the same variety as the domestic one, but the seeds fell to the ground and grew up. The other kind of fruit is only as small as an egg, and the seeds are very big. There is only a little bit of pulp, basically just to taste, this one is the real wild variety.
This pure wild variety is also called bird persimmon because birds like to eat it when it is ripe.
The area that the three of Lian Fangzhou saw was this kind of bird persimmon tree.
Although it is called such a name, the tree looks the same as an ordinary persimmon tree, so it is the most suitable rootstock.
Lian Fangzhou was so happy that he, Lian Ze and A Jian poached almost all the suitable ones.
After being so busy for a few days, another matter has come to an end, and before I know it, December has also entered.
Even Fangzhou had to go around the construction site at the entrance of the village every day to see the progress.
According to Gu Shi, the work should be completed in more than half a month.
At present, Lian Fangzhou still has two things to do, one is to clear out the land for cotton seedlings, and the other is whether to buy people now, she is still quite entangled!
Buying people years ago is said to be more suitable than other seasons, but how to arrange them after buying is what makes her difficult.
Even if the big courtyard at the entrance of the village is built, it will be an empty shell, so you can't just live in it!
After discussing with A Jian and Lian Ze for a while, they finally decided to sort out the seedling land first. As for buying people, you can ask Zhao Liu to help introduce one or two people when you enter the city. Go and have a look first. Buy it, otherwise, just wait.
Lian Fangzhou plans to use the land at Sanchakou, which is closer to the village, for the nursery land, and it needs to be about 150 mu!
Nothing else, except the matter of fertilizer, which made Lian Fangzhou quite distressed.
She has planned to use all the manure in the cowshed on the cotton seedling field in the coming year, and see if she can spend money to buy some more. Other chicken manure, human and animal manure can be collected as much as possible. There is also plant ash, which is relatively simple.
Lian Fangzhou thought of Tangni again. It is the silt at the bottom of the pond after the fish pond is drained.
This mud is also a good fertilizer.
To organize so many seedling fields, it is obviously not enough to rely on a few members of the family, and even Fangzhou has to hire people.
So, after breakfast the next day, she, Lian Ze and A Jian drove the donkey cart to the city again.
"Let's go to the blacksmith shop first!" After entering the city, Lian Fangzhou smiled at A Jian and Lian Ze.
Lian Ze smiled gradually, and Ah Jian nodded with a smile and said "OK".
They discussed it last night. Today, apart from going to Zhao Liu to discuss hiring people and buying some farm tools, the other thing is to go to the blacksmith's shop to make two iron bows and arrows for hunting.
When they arrived at the blacksmith's shop, the three jumped out of the cart and parked the donkey cart on the side of the road.
Ah Jian talked to the blacksmith in detail for a while, the blacksmith nodded and smiled and agreed, then paid the deposit and left to find Zhao Liu.
Lian Fangzhou still hired 30 people this time, and asked Zhao Liudai to arrange it.
Because it was agreed before, Zhao Liu still arranged the thirty people who were originally hired for land reclamation to Lian Fangzhou.
Lian Fangzhou paid the intermediary fee, thanked him with a smile and said goodbye, and the three went to the market.
In addition to buying some odds and ends of daily necessities, I also bought ten pairs of bamboo woven high-eared pans, ten poles, twenty bamboo baskets, and ten pairs of thin iron iron poles.
The thing is bulky and filled a car full of it.
The next day, 30 people came to the field on time, and Lian Fangzhou asked someone to take a survey line to measure. A piece of land is one mu, and one hundred and fifty acres are sorted into one hundred and fifty yuan, and they must be lined up in order.
Even Fangzhou explained in detail how fine the soil should be and how thick it should be.
Fortunately, everyone is familiar with each other, and it can be regarded as a tacit understanding. Whether it is the master's order or the workers heard about it, it is very convenient to communicate.
As usual, Lian Fangzhou reiterated the rules of working in his own house. There is broth, egg pancakes or meat pancakes at noon, and the wages will never be owed.
This is very necessary. Although everyone is familiar with it, there is no guarantee that people will not be lazy. If someone just feels familiar, it may not be ashamed to drive them to be lazy, but it will not be beautiful at that time.
It is said that if you knowingly commit a crime, you will be more justified in driving people away, so as not to invite villains to complain and hold grudges.
After the arrangement was made, Lian Fangzhou named Li Qing and Wu Xiaomao in public, and asked them to be the leaders. When he, A Jian, and Lian Ze were away, he would call them for anything.
Both Li Qing and Wu Xiaomao happily agreed with a smile.
Seeing that everyone dispersed to work, the three of Lian Fangzhou drove the carriage to Yangjiacun. Twenty large bamboo baskets were installed on the cart.
Lian Fangzhou didn't want to go to Yangjia Village at all, but in the nearest village, only Yang Yuan's family in Yangjia Village had two large fish ponds.
There are not many people raising fish these days. There are no other reasons. One is that fry are rare, and the other is that it is not worthwhile to raise them well.
The two fish ponds in Yang Yuan's family are because his family likes to eat fish, and he also likes to fish, so they raise fish.
He arrived at Yang Yuan's family smoothly, and did not meet Yang Huaishan's family. Not only Fangzhou, but also Ze was secretly relieved. Only the old god Ah Jian is here—is it the Yang family, what does it matter to him
After listening to Lian Fangzhou's explanation of his intentions, Yang Yuanwai was reluctant at first.
Lian Fangzhou talked and talked, accompanied by many smiling faces, and Yang Yuanwai reluctantly agreed. This was because of the face of the Su family in Shuangliu County. Of course, he did not tell Lian Fangzhou.
Otherwise, he would not agree. Although Lian Fangzhou said he would pay, how could he value the money
Member Yang asked his steward Yang to be in charge of this matter, so he waved his hands away and didn't ask.
For the convenience of fishing, the fish pond was built near Yang Yuanwai's home.
The two fish ponds are next to each other and connected by waterways, each with an area of about five mu.
At this time, one pond was full of water, green and faint, and sparkling; while the other pond was dry and bottomed out.
Thank you for your monthly pass~~Thank you,
