The back mountain was very lively. A white pony, accompanied by the laughter of several children, attracted all the children who were playing elsewhere, including some adults. In the middle, there were two people from Yili Zheng's family. A few children headed by a boy are walking the horse.
At first, Li Feng also considered the problem of raising horses when repairing the back mountain, so he left a relatively flat path for horse racing. Although the place is not too big, it is better than staying in the backyard of his home.
Even if Li Chengzu and Li Chengzong have seen a lot in the county, they also like this little horse named Tayun very much, leading the little horse to run happily on the mountain road.
Li Chengzong was lying on his brother's shoulders, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, I still want to ride Jingfeng's horse. That horse is the real majesty, but Jingfeng only listens to Brother Afeng."
Li Chengzu looked at lazyboned brother angrily, and poked his forehead with his finger: "I don't even think about the origin of that horse, how can it be easily ridden by others, tsk tsk, I didn't expect Brother Afeng to be so simple Even Father and the others don’t know how powerful Jingfeng is, that one horse is worth more than this entire back mountain.”
Before, the two brothers also heard their father talking about Brother Li Feng's waste of money, but after seeing Jingfeng, the two brothers laughed secretly at their father's ignorance, but now father often praises Brother Ming at home, right? Of course, they also thought Brother Ming was amazing.
"That's right, but there is no Jingfeng to ride. It's good to ride when Tayun grows up." Li Chengzong also thought about it, and after a while he jumped up and ran after the pony. Li Chengzu behind shook his head and chased after the pony. Tang Chunrong, who was looking at Xiao Alin, talked to him, and glanced at a child from the Zhao family not far away. Zhao Dong, who used to be a big fat man and is now a little fat man, didn't say anything. I don't like this kid who always bullies other children.

In fact, there was still a piece of Tang Chunming’s land that hadn’t been tidied up. Tang Chunming asked Li Feng to ask the man who had been helping at his house to do one thing after all the work was done, which was to prepare winter feed for dozens of sheep. In fact, there was room. He doesn't have to worry about the lack of feed for the sheep at home, but if there are more sheep, there will be more people who pay attention. If the family keeps bringing out green feed, how can others not be suspicious.
There is a solution, that is silage. In fact, the green feed is sealed and fermented and used in winter. Moreover, the silage feed is also rich in nutrition for livestock, and it is not worse than the feed of the current season. If it can be learned by others It is also a good thing to use to expand the scale of livestock breeding. He doesn't mind at all that it will be popularized after the success of the experiment, and it will also make his breeding industry less eye-catching and attract people's attention.
"Brother Ming, is this really okay?" Li Feng remembered the steps that Brother Ming told him one by one. Long ago, Brother Ming asked him to open a few more open spaces at the foot of the mountain to grow beans The crops are only flowering and pods at this time, and Ming Geer will use them as fodder.
"I don't know if it can be successful, but if it can be successful, then our sheep don't have to worry about eating in winter. You have to try it?" Tang Chunming also saw other people doing this in the village, but he had never tried it himself. , so it is not certain that it will be successful, but as long as the method is right, he believes that it can always be tested, because the technology of silage is actually not difficult, it is simple and easy to operate, but it is more laborious, and it must be stored on the same day of harvest.
"Yeah." Li Feng saw farther than Tang Chunming. Tang Chunming only saw the prospect of raising livestock, but what Li Feng saw was the war with the Northern Man tribe in the north. Every time the Daqing Dynasty fought with the Northern Man, it was the cavalry. He always suffers a great loss. The root cause is that the Daqing Dynasty did not have good horses or there were not many good horses, so domestication was difficult. He didn't know if the problem of feed was solved, it would have any impact on the domestication of horses.
Mr. He was also very interested in this matter, and handed over little Asen to Wang Ying, who came to help after his busy work at home. He also followed out with his hands behind his back, saying hello to the villagers from time to time. Doctors who are as skilled as doctors in Chinese medicine are respected by the villagers very much.
Moreover, Li Feng also said earlier that this is his benefactor, and most people still know how to repay their kindness, so they have goodwill towards such a doctor.
Everyone helped to quickly harvest the peanut field, gathered the peanut stalks, other harvested bean stalks and the grass that the sheep loved to eat, and the selected silage was next to the sheep pen. When Li Feng and Tang Chunming arrived, Uncle Da and the others had already dug a deep square hole as agreed. Li Zheng was also watching over there with his hands behind his back, seeing someone coming from their side and beckoning them to come over: "After the hole is dug, what are we going to do next?"
"What about the tarpaulin? Lay the tarpaulin well and make it airtight." In modern times, airtight films are used, so here we can only use tarpaulin, but the seams of the tarpaulin are also problematic, so Tang Chunming is concerned about these I don't have much confidence in whether the experiment will be successful. "And the green fodder will be crushed with a guillotine." The first experiment used oilcloth, and the area is not large. If it is feasible, a special silage kiln can be built tomorrow.
The clods in the pit were all trampled down. Hearing what Tang Chunming said, the sons of Uncle Da and the Sixth Uncle's family immediately jumped down to lay the tarpaulin. Next to it, the green fodder began to be cut.
Li Feng knew that the oilcloth that Brother Ming told him had to be laid out, so he couldn't get out of the wind, and he wouldn't be afraid to spend some oilcloth, so he laid it firmly in two layers before giving up. The fresh ones over there still had moisture The grains were thrown into the pit under Tang Chunming's command, and the people in the pit stepped on it with their feet. Tang Chunming checked the humidity in the pit from above, and if it was too dry, someone would sprinkle some water on it.
The bedding was laid down layer by layer, and a few people who stepped on the pit gradually came up, until finally all the green fodder had been stepped on, and Tang Chunming asked people to come up and wrap up the tarpaulin to ensure that all the fodder was covered by the tarpaulin. It is tightly bound, and then covered with soil on top of the oilcloth to completely seal it. After a month, it can be opened to see if the method has worked.
The few people who stepped on the pit were sweating, and it seemed that the effort required to simply repeat a few movements was not small. The people who were digging the feed were even more tired. They kept operating, and their hands were sore when they stopped , someone nearby prepared water for them to drink, Mr. He and Li Zheng also sat beside them and chatted.
In the past, what livestock ate in winter was not hay that had been sun-dried earlier, but no one thought of other methods. Often in winter, families with more livestock would sell part of the burden to reduce the number and winter feeding. Lizheng Hanyan was brought out, took a puff of Hanyan and said with a smile: "I'm all messing around with Brother Ming, let Dr. He see a joke."
"Where, it's a good thing to be able to succeed in the tossing. Lizheng is also looking forward to it in his heart." Mr. He stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Zheng laughed, of course he was looking forward to success.
Over there, Tang Chunming took a sip of water and said to everyone: "Everyone who comes to help today will have extra money, and each person will add 50 Wen, which will be recorded in the account first, and the bill will be settled together at the end of the month." The helpers grinned when they heard this. , Now I also know that Brother Ming is a refreshing person, and he refused politely. This is Brother Ming's kindness.

The autumn harvest was over, and the village was full of joy. Even if people from the yamen came to the village to collect taxes, they couldn't stop the joy in their hearts. This was a rare harvest year, and Tang Chunming's bumper harvest made them even happier The reason is that as long as they think that next year with the seeds of Tang Chunming's family, they can also increase the output of their own land by half to double, and the family can add a lot of income.
All the grain of Tang Chunming's family was collected and put into the warehouse, including the grain harvested from Li Feng's land, which was also shipped directly to his home. Except for a few jealous people, it was taken for granted by other people in the village. If the fire is fired, if the food is not transported, can it be transported to someone else's house
As for the tax to be paid, Tang Chunming directly replaced it with silver, and collected the grain himself. The grain grown by him and Li Feng is of much higher quality than the grain outside, and paying taxes will not pay less just because of the high quality, so he simply pays his and Li Feng's tax bank and it's over.
Tang Chunming hasn't figured out how to arrange the grain to be put into the warehouse, someone has already waited for it.
Tang Chunming looked at Teng Yu who was standing in the yard of his house smiling, and the shopkeeper Qi who came with him, and was speechless. He had nothing to say about the request made by these two people. This was something that was specially targeted at their house. .
"Tang Fulang, you won't drive us out, right? We came here very sincerely." Teng Yu smiled and cupped his hands at Tang Chunming.
Li Feng came over and took Tang Chunming's shoulders and pushed him inside, and said to the two of them, "Let's talk if you have anything to do."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Li Feng." Teng Yu said kindly.
Wang Ying was not here today, Tang Chunming took care of the child by himself, just dropped the child, and now he heard his cry when he entered the room, A Lin was playing with him, the two brothers had a great time without the adults happy. Alin contributed his first cloth tiger toy. He is still reluctant to part with others, but his younger brother is different. He is an older brother, and he should take care of and protect his younger brother. He will think of his younger brother when he eats and plays, but there are many things. Said that the younger brother can't eat, so A Lin felt that the younger brother was really pitiful, so he was even more generous to him.
"Uncle Teng, Uncle Qi." Alin called out sensiblely.
"Good boy." Shopkeeper Qi smiled. Teng Yu knew how to buy people's hearts better, and gave out the snacks that children loved to eat.
He Lao was not here today, and went into the mountains with Hu Langzhong to collect herbs. Li Feng was going to accompany them in, but neither of them wanted to. Two men accompanied me a little.
After taking a sip of the tea Li Feng poured, Teng Yu opened the door to Tang Chunming: "Tang Fulang, brother Li Feng, I don't want to talk nonsense, I just want to know how much food you can give me. Of course, I also know how much food Tang Fulang's family has this year It’s not too much, and you have to keep enough for your own food, then the rest will be fine, and next year it should be a little more variety.”
Tang Chunming rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You also know that my family doesn't have much food, and I have to leave seeds for next year." Shopkeeper Qi and Xiao Shunzi often went to Pingshan Village for such a long time They didn't know what else happened to their family. He only harvested a total of more than a thousand catties of wheat from the few acres of the mountain. Li Feng's rice was even less. Will never take it outside.
Teng Yu laughed dryly, but still bargained brazenly: "Then make it less even, I eat it at home, so I definitely won't be able to use this amount in restaurants." Shopkeeper Qi's old face twitched , I was still thinking about the restaurant, but Tang Fulang's face changed and he was about to explode.
"You really have a heart." Tang Chunming said through gritted teeth.
Li Feng came in from the outside again, and brought some boiled peanuts that Tang Chunming cooked himself for the guests. Before cooking, pinch the peanut shells open one by one, add salt and other seasonings to cook together, the taste is easy to taste, and it tastes salty and delicious. When Mr. He is free, he also asks Hu Langzhong to drink two small wines, of course By the way, Tang Chunming will be instructed to add two side dishes.
"These peanuts are also good." Teng Yu peeled one and ate it, his eyes lit up.
"There are fewer peanuts, only enough for the family to eat." Tang Fulang immediately declared that he also took some of them to the oil workshop to extract oil. Regular consumption of meat oil is not good for health, especially when there is an old man at home, Tang Chunming is even more scrupulous point.
"Okay, I just need a few hundred catties each for my wheat and rice, how about it?" Teng Yu also knew that it shouldn't be too much, so the few acres of land are still produced because of the high yield per mu, otherwise the average family will have to fight the autumn wind up.
At the end of the bargain, each gave three hundred catties. Although Teng Yu was not satisfied, he knew it was not good to ask for more. Tang Fulang wanted to keep enough seeds for his own food, and his relatives might give some more. It is estimated that he will not wait until next year's harvest. It's about to bottom out.
Tang Chunming didn't show politeness to him either, and slaughtered him mercilessly. The two moved away six hundred catties of grain, leaving behind thirty taels of silver. Seeing that less than half of the grain in the granary was missing, Tang Chunming felt that he was still soft-hearted. Already.

Li Feng went to Houshan, and Tang Chunming wanted to go too, but Alin could take the little bastard out, but he was too young to take it out, so he had to stay at home with the children and listen to Alin and the little bastard talking about each other.
The school has already started, and both the eldest and the second have gone to class. The family suddenly lost two boys. Not only him, but even A Lin felt a lot lonely. He pointed to the big characters he wrote and began to teach his younger brother how to read.
Zhang Xiu saw this scene when he came over, and couldn't help laughing: "A Lin is so good, I will definitely teach a talented younger brother in the future."
"Well, my younger brother will take the examination of scholar and merit in the future." A Lin took it seriously, and told Zhang Xiu and his younger brother very seriously.
"Then Ah Lin has to study hard. After you learn it well, I will hand over the little bastard to Ah Lin." Tang Chunming patted Ah Lin's head and said.
"It's the younger brother, not the little bastard." Alin corrected.
Zhang Xiu burst out laughing, pointing at Tang Chunming and laughing loudly: "Let me just say it, the good A Sen doesn't call it that way, now even A Lin is against you, if the little A Sen can speak, he will definitely protest .”
Little A Sen didn't know what the adults were talking about, but when he saw the adults shouting happily around him, his mouth drooled, A Lin took a handkerchief to help his younger brother wipe the saliva seriously, and the grandmother said he was very It was like this when I was young, so I can't discriminate against my younger brother.
"Okay, I surrender. I won't be called a little bastard in the future, but A Sen." Tang Chunming rolled his eyes helplessly, secretly screaming in his heart so no one would protest.
But soon the little bastard in his mouth fell asleep, such a big child sleeps most of the time throughout the day. After A Sen went to bed, A Lin consciously went to practice big characters, and Zhang Xiu was talking to Tang Chunming in the room.
"Before, everyone was busy and no one told you. The Zhao family really made people laugh this time. They are the only ones who can take over land and make such a fuss."
Tang Chunming blinked his eyes. He hadn't paid attention to the Zhao family's affairs for a long time. He was giving birth, autumn harvest, and considering the arrangements for the back mountain. He was too busy to pay attention. About the relatives: "By the way, what happened to Zhao Laosan's marriage? Is the marriage with Shen Dahu's family retiring? Is the marriage with some master in the county settled?" Teng Yu and shopkeeper Qi also came over two days ago He didn't mention it, and he even forgot about it and didn't ask them how the follow-up progress was. You must know that there were their handwriting in it.
Zhang Xiu didn't know about Tang Chunming's situation. It was only these two days when he was free and told him about it. He just listened to it as a joke and said, "The Shen Dahu family is finally willing to withdraw, but the county The family affairs of Li Zhubu's family are also in turmoil. I heard that the master of the book knows that Zhao Laosan's engagement and resignation are very popular. Before the Zhao family came to explain anything, it was reported that he The younger brother of the family has already got the news that he is engaged to another family, so he never admits that he mentioned it to Zhao Laosan before."
Tang Chunming was not surprised by this result. Teng Yu intervened for such a purpose, but: "Didn't Zhao Laosan go to the county school? I can't get married with the master. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to stay in the county school." It’s hard to live.” The county school is an official school run by the county government, and only students who pass the examination of scholar can enroll.
Zhang Xiu curled her lips: "Who cares if he is doing well or not, but I heard that something happened at the Zhao family's third uncle's house, and it seems that the younger generation has objections to the third uncle's actions, so there is no one to help this old lady Zhao's land. Wait, didn't it rain a few days ago? Hehe, I think it will make old mother Zhao feel so distressed."
Tang Chunming also stared at the sky and was speechless. The grain in this field was rained before it was confiscated. If it was not dried in time, wouldn't the grain be waiting to mold or germinate? When such a situation happened, Tang Chunming could guess how lively the Zhao family was just by thinking about it. If you want him to say, this is also thinking about taking advantage of other people's family all day long, counting on other people's family to contribute to help his family collect the land without asking his family to pay wages, it is too natural, the other members of the Zhao family can do it once or twice I can bear it, who will take care of them for a long time.
Tang Chunming was not interested in knowing about his family anymore, and Li Feng also told him about his plans for the two children.
Originally, he didn't care whether the two children's surnames entered the family tree, because he didn't know much about the society's emphasis on this aspect, and what was deeply rooted in his mind was still the set of things in modern society. He didn't expect how his son would become famous in the future, but if he has the ability and determination to develop in this area, then he can't block his son's way, so he is also annoyed at the Zhao family's actions. At the top level, there is no disagreement with Li Feng's decision.
It was also after Li Feng said it that he secretly mentioned the possible purpose behind the Zhao family's non-appearance. This was to trap the two children into the family tree. After knowing such sinister intentions, his impression of the third uncle of the Zhao family dropped again and again. Well, this matter is not thought of by anyone other than the third uncle who speaks. I really didn't expect such a young man to have such a strong desire to control, to care about a newborn child.
If people like the third uncle of the Zhao family really got into the scheme, Tang Chunming would have the intention of killing people. People have rebellious scales, and he Tang Chunming also has them. Although he kept calling him a little bastard, he was very defensive in his heart. Come on, that is just an innocent child who just came into this world. Like A Lin, Tang Chunming never extended his impression of the Zhao family and Zhao Dahu to the innocent child. To guide and teach, it is his own business if he grows crooked, and he should be taught by his elders, but it is disgusting to be calculated by others like this, and he wants to use the child's future to force himself to bow his head and make a whole Narrow-minded old thief.
Knowing their sinister intentions, Tang Chunming didn't want his two children to have anything to do with the Zhao family, so he waited for Chu Xiao and Li Feng to immediately record the two children in the Li family's genealogy, so that he could slap Zhao hard. A slap from the old thief, the more calculating you are, the more I don't want you to get it.
This also speeded up his original plan of getting rich slowly. He just wanted to make his life more prosperous and make people jealous. It's better for the family members to make troubles by themselves, and it's better if the troubles clear up. Who said he doesn't hold grudges.
He just deliberately wanted to make Uncle Zhao's life better and better, so as to form a stark contrast with the Zhao family, making old thief Zhao disgusting.
So put the Zhao family aside first, and make the next plan step by step.
He has not moved the sorghum harvested from the field, and he has also planted some sorghum in the space. The plan for the second half of the year is to brew wine, and the second is to open the Quanyang Restaurant.
The wine industry in this world has not yet developed to the level of distilled wine. This is the loophole he wants to take advantage of. In his previous life, he remembered that distilled wine only flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. What burning knives and Erguotou are all distilled. liquor.
The final distillation is the key to wine making, and there is another key point, that is, the quality of distiller's yeast is related to the fermentation of grain in the winemaking process, and he just mastered the method of making distiller's yeast.
Thinking of the recipes of distiller's yeast in his mind, Tang Chunming thought of his previous life, which was left by his own mother. He still remembered making wine at home when he was a child, but he never saw it again after his mother passed away. People generally think that these crafts are only known by the mother, because the mother is no longer, so these crafts are also lost, and the father has been focusing on cleaning up the contracted orchard, so Tang Chunming never thought about that.
It was not until his father gave those things to himself before he died that Tang Chunming guessed what his father was thinking. If he didn't touch those things, he might be sad to see them. Although his mother died early, his father forgot For the rest of his life, before he died, apart from thinking about the grandson who didn't know where he was, he talked over and over again about the process of brewing wine when he was with his mother, and also recalled some memories of his mother who was thrown into an unknown corner by Tang Chunming early in the morning.
The old man told himself that it was an ancestral item in his mother's family, and it would be passed on to his grandchildren from generation to generation. At the end of the delivery, Tang Chunming had a lot of trouble with his relatives because of this, so that Tang Chunming had eaten many meals in the village since he was a child, and his own grandparents and uncle's had the least meals. Having said that, if my wife marries him, he should take responsibility and protect her by himself. If he can't do this, is he still a man
Tang Chunming learned the strength to protect his weaknesses from his father, and maybe there is also the temperament that would rather bend than bend. Sometimes, although he is slippery, he will not compromise on what he insists on.
At night, Li Feng went back to sleep, Mr. He also fell asleep next door, and Tang Chunming took A Lin and the little bastard alone. The worrying thing is the little bastard, who needs to feed him at night and has to piss and shit. At the beginning, he couldn’t get used to it and made him very angry, but every time the stepmother came, she would bring the little bastard by his side and pour it out. Let him sleep peacefully.
Although it is very angry, there is no way, who let the little bastard be born by him, who else can he let him serve if he does not come to serve. Fortunately, there is no workaround, that is, Li Feng will often climb over the wall at night, the first time when the little bastard was crying at night, Tang Chunming was startled by Li Feng's sudden appearance, and he got used to it later. Elder He, who was occasionally startled up, looked at the moon speechlessly. Fortunately, the old man is not ignorant of flexibility. He knows that it is really hard for a brother to take care of two children alone. Later, he didn't come to see him at night, unless Tang Chunming knocked on the door to call him, for example, he was worried that the little bastard would not stop crying. Because of being sick.
Tang Chunming walked into the space with the little bastard in his arms. A Lin was already asleep and usually wouldn't wake up at night unless he was woken up by the little bastard. He didn't feel at ease leaving the little bastard outside alone, so he had to bring them in together, wrap them in a small quilt and put them in the wooden house. The temperature here is suitable, so he doesn't have to worry about freezing.
Tang Chunming walked into the storage room by himself. After his father passed away, he got this space again, and collected all the raw materials for making distiller's yeast through the Internet one after another. Many of them belonged to Chinese medicinal materials. After searching the seeds, they were in the space. planted. Therefore, although people have come here now, the distiller's yeast and those seeds left over from the original production are still left in the space. Outside, he also tried brewing wine by himself twice. The brewed wine was tasted by an old man who had drunk the wine brewed by his mother. The final evaluation was that although the wine was a bit short, there was a unique flavor in the wine. In fact, he also knows the feeling of clearness, and the latter evaluation is because of the space.
Tang Chunming is also a person who doesn't like to immerse himself in old things, so looking at the koji and those seeds, he just took the seeds outside and planted them. The remaining koji in the space can be brewed again at most, so he needs to plant some more. The raw materials come out and continue to be produced.
Farming in the space couldn't be easier. Find an open space, sprinkle the seeds down, and pour some space spring water, and you're done. Pat the dirt on your hands, and look at the current space. Tang Chunming smiled with satisfaction. His space It has expanded again, which can be attributed to the fact that he is always busy in the space.
Now there are fewer vegetables and food in the space, but the area of fruit trees has expanded. Rows of fruit trees cultivated from seeds are prepared to be planted in the back mountain in the future. He also keeps cutting off some branches from the old fruit trees for storage. In the storage room, it is reserved for grafting next year, otherwise there may not be enough cuts until then, so it must be prepared in advance.
He harvested what should be harvested from the field, and replanted what needed to be replanted. Tang Chunming washed his hands, hugged the little bastard, and prepared to leave the space and continue to sleep. Now that his alone time is getting less and less, he took time to enter Is the space easy, and sneaking around at night is really not in line with his temperament, alas, it is better to tell Li Feng earlier, so that there will be someone who can help him do things in the space in the future.
While hugging the little bastard who was sleeping soundly and ignorant of the outside situation, while pointing his finger at his open mouth, Tang Chunming said unwillingly: "You are heartless, what am I doing?" I have to think about you in everything. You little bastard, when you grow up, you have to remember to be filial to your two fathers, you know?" Because he thought of his previous life, he consciously assumed the identity of another father .
I went out of the space as usual, the room was not lit, it was dark, the moonlight coming in through the wooden window was very light, and because I just came out of the bright space, my eyes couldn't get used to it for a while, I only saw the Kang A dark figure sat beside him, and Tang Chunming was so frightened that he almost screamed and threw the child in his arms out.
"Brother Ming, it's me, Ah Feng, where have you been!" Tang Chunming's scream got stuck in his throat due to the anxious and familiar voice. Fortunately, he didn't realize that his sudden appearance out of thin air surprised others.
The author has something to say: Regarding silage or something, I have never raised livestock. These things are all searched from the Internet. There must be many mistakes. Please forgive me, and the ancient large-scale breeding industry must have There are many reasons. I don’t know if there is a reason for the feed. It’s just a wild guess, haha.
I couldn't help but opened the golden finger again. This was planned at the beginning. If you want to make a brick, tap it lightly, haha...
