After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Shen Nanzhi had asked Heiwu for help before in order to buy 100 acres of land in the village. This piece of land happened to be connected to Shenjia Village, making it easier to manage.

That Mr. Chen is just Heiwu's cousin, and works as a doorman in Heiwu's house.

Shen Nanzhi still gave Mr. Chen and Wang Saner five taels of silver each for their hard work. They were both very happy and decided to look for them next time if something like this happened. If nothing else worked, there would definitely be no problems with the acting.

Shen Nanzhi took out a horse from the space and rode back. He set off early in the morning and arrived at Yushu Village in just half an hour.

I first went back to my original home, took out the prepared gifts, lit a fire to boil water, and made tea to entertain the villagers when someone came to my house later.

The snacks and candies were placed on several plates. Just as they were ready, Shen Qingshan and his wife came over.

"Nanzhi, when I saw smoke coming out of your chimney, I knew you were back. It's so early, did you get enough rest?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "I came back on horseback, so it was naturally faster. Thank you for your concern, Auntie."

Aunt Fang, the neighbor, also came in. "I just finished cleaning up and came to help you. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't be polite with the aunties."

"How come? Have a drink of water and some snacks first, and we'll talk about it when everyone is here."

"Okay, but why buy this expensive snack? It's such a waste."

"If you eat it, it won't be wasted. Everyone should try it."

Shen Nanzhi stuffed the money into their hands. The women in the village worked the hardest. They had to take care of the household chores and help with the work in the fields.

Whenever she had something delicious to eat, she would take care of her husband and children. She also had to be filial and serve her parents-in-law, raise chickens and feed pigs, and do the hardest work. However, food and clothing were always given to her family members, and she was always ranked last.

If Shen Nanzhi didn't give it to them, she would definitely leave it for the children at home, and she wouldn't be willing to do that.

"Eat it all. I'm not happy that you are being polite to me. To be honest, I found a new way to make money in the county. I can earn dozens of taels of silver a month. Isn't it my duty to give you some food as a gift?"

"What kind of business can make so much money? Oh, look at my mouth, don't say it if it's inconvenient for you."

Shen Nanzhi said: "It's not inconvenient, it's just a snack made with pork, I'll make some today for everyone to try.

Next, I want to open a workshop to specialize in this. I need helpers. Aunts, please pick a dozen or so skilled people to go to the county town to help. The wages are 30 cents a day. "

Shen Bo Niang took a deep breath, "So many? You want women, not men?"

"These are all kitchen tasks. Men have rough hands and feet, so I'm afraid they can't do it well. It takes a careful and diligent woman to do it well."

"Is that so? Then Auntie will definitely choose the one who is honest and hardworking for you. When will you use it?"

"Maybe in five days. Once we finish our work in the village, we can start work."

"Okay, Auntie will arrange it for you."

The heads of the village came one after another to ask Shen Nanzhi for advice on how to take care of the new crops in the future, and each family sent one person.

Shen Nanzhi talked for a while and saw that they all had confused eyes and felt a little powerless. It was just like when they were students and the teacher talked like a mystery. They knew all the words, but couldn't understand them when they were put together.

"Let's go to the field and I'll talk to you about it on the spot."

"Okay, we don't quite understand what you're saying, so why don't we give it a try?"

Shen Nanzhi also took a look at how the new crops were growing, and found that they were weaker than she thought.

"It's not fertile enough. We need to fertilize it."

Shen Qingshan said in embarrassment: "We also know that we need fertilizers for fertilization. The fertilizers we save every year are only enough for one use. If we want to fertilize again, we have to buy more fertilizers. It's not cost-effective."

Shen Nanzhi's space does have a lot of compound fertilizers and farmyard manure. The fertilizers produced by so many animals are all piled up in the septic tank, and not much is used on the fields.

I don’t know if it’s because the space has its own fertility, but the crops can grow very well without any fertilizer.

Shen Nanzhi said, "I'll figure out the fertilizer issue. You owe me that. When we harvest the crops, you can use the crops to pay off the debt."

"How much does it cost? Where can you afford it?"

"Not much. One mu of land costs only five hundred coins. I have enough money. If it doesn't work, I can borrow some from Master Song. He has money."

"Nanzhi, how can I let you work so hard on this?"

"Uncle, you are being polite to me, aren't you? We harvest food, and having enough food is more important than anything else. It's settled. Let's talk about thinning the corn seedlings first. This one is too dense. Only two can be left at most. Pull out the rest."

"Ah, pull it out? That's a pity, don't you want it anymore after it grows so big?"

Shen Nanzhi was somewhat helpless. It was also so difficult for scientists from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to promote new crops. Some of these farmers were rigid and stubborn, always insisting on their own ways. No matter how much they talked, it was useless. It was really infuriating.

Shen Nanzhi said: "It won't be wasted, it can be transplanted and replanted in other vacant plots, just like transplanting saplings, it will still survive.

This crop is eaten for its seeds, not its stems, so it can’t be planted too densely.”

Shen Qingshan said, "Listen to Nan Zhi. We still have to give Mr. Song 20% ​​of the grain. If it is our fault that the production is reduced, will he still come to us next year?"

Everyone nodded, this was a rare opportunity, so they had to obey.

Shen Nanzhi looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes again. These two things grew quite well and were not picky about the soil they grew on.

"Next year, we will make ridges when we plant. This will make it easier to harvest and maintain. Let's do this this year. We also need to weed frequently and apply fertilizer later."

The village also grows other crops, including soybeans, sorghum, mung beans, red beans, as well as vegetables such as cabbage, radish, and rainbow beans. As long as it is edible, the diligent farmers will plant it just to fill their stomachs.

Shen Nanzhi likes these pastoral scenery very much and can already imagine the scene of good harvest in the future.

Shen Qingshan sent the villagers back to work and asked Shen Nanzhi, "What are you going to do with the 100 acres of land?"

Shen Qingshan also knew about this. Shen Nanzhi told him in advance that in the future he would have to rely on the villagers to protect these lands.

With Jiang Chen's vicious character, he was capable of stealing the harvest from the fields, just like a robber.

"Uncle, I plan to plant some sweet potatoes. They are the only ones that are easy to take care of and can be harvested. But the people in the neighboring village are all mean, and I'm afraid they will snatch them away once I've planted them."

"If they dare, my cousin will bring people to raid their homes and break their legs!"

It was not uncommon for two neighboring villages to fight for various reasons, and the county magistrate was unable to do anything about it. Even if someone was killed, they could only blame themselves for being unlucky.

"That's good. I can plant it with peace of mind."

Shen Qingshan added: "There is one more thing I need to tell you. Old man Jiang is such a bastard. He bullied a widow. Twenty acres of the hundred acres of land belonged to the widow, and he didn't even give her compensation. Isn't this going to drive her to death?"
