Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 255 Digging a Pond
After eating and drinking, Xu Wenyan lay down on the bed.
"Brother Chen! Do you want to wash your feet?" I was in a rare mood today and planned to pour some water for Chen Sanlin to wash his feet.
As soon as he took the basin out, he saw Chen Sanlin rummaging around in the yard.
"Brother Chen? What are you doing?"
"Wife..." Chen Sanlin turned his head, his expression was extremely anxious, and his eyes were even slightly red.
Xu Wenyan was also confused. He put down the basin and went forward to comfort her: "What's wrong?"
The other party did not reply but just wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, still searching for something on the ground.
"What the hell is going on? Tell me, I'm so worried."
Chen Sanlin stood up and said, "Wife, I lost my peace locket."
The man's voice was full of grievance, and it felt like his heart was broken.
Xu Wenyan had no choice but to hug him: "Oh, it's okay, I'm not mad at you, I'll make another one for you in the fall, okay?"
The man in his arms nodded and shook his head: "But... I lost you. You are in that peace locket."
He stroked Chen Sanlin's head, then patted him on the back: "It's okay, if you lose me, I will come back to find you. I will make another one for you."
Xu Wenyan comforted Chen Sanlin for a long time that night, and Chen Sanlin was really sad.
In the morning, Xiaoman came to wake them up, and then took Xiaohu and Rong Xiaoliu to the shelter to find crayfish. They were expected to return in the afternoon.
Chen Sanlin still didn't look very good, and Xu Wenyan had no choice but to think that he would be fine in a few days.
By the time we got to the factory, it was already crowded with people.
"Brother Xu."
"Brother Xu, good morning!"
Xu Wenyan nodded at them. These people came with tools, but Xu Wenyan didn't have that many hoes.
"The village chief must have told you yesterday. This job can probably take three or four days. It's ten cents a day, not including food. Do you have any other questions?"
"no!"
When everyone heard the high price of ten cents a day last night, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night. They could earn ten cents without going to the county.
And if you work for four consecutive days, it would be forty cents, which is a lot of money for food.
Xu Wenyan took the booklet and started to register one by one. Then Chen Sanlin took them to see the land. Although it was wasteland, it would not have much impact as they had to dig it.
After finishing all this, Chen Sanlin needs to deliver today's small ingredients and the remaining medicinal materials, so he has to ask Chen Xingjie to help supervise today.
Xu Wenyan walked down along the wasteland. He needed to observe how to divert the water level. There were wastelands all around, and he couldn't occupy these fields.
After observing for a week, we concluded that the only option was to build it close to the mountain. This would facilitate irrigation for those who would buy the farmland in the future without hindering them.
Keep the route in mind, as on the last day you have to start delivering water, and you also have to set up a small reservoir there.
All in all, it will take five days of work.
Xu Wenyan had already thought about the future plans. Their daily life would be that Xiaoman would take Xiaohu and the others to look for crayfish, while he would go to the back mountain with Chen Sanlin to look for clam shells and cockles.
These river clams are mainly brought back to feed crayfish.
The pond was dug very quickly. Every day when Xu Wenyan went to check the results, he couldn't help but be amazed. These men are really too capable.
The schedule was perfect. On the fifth day, the pond had been completely dug. Xiaohu and his friends then brought in lobsters and other things.
Xu Wenyan opened a lot of river clams, chopped the meat and poured it directly into the pond. These crayfish are very greedy, so the pond behind Xu Wenyan's house will be used exclusively for raising river clams from now on.
Of course, the crayfish and clams inside are not cleaned properly.
After doing all this, Xiaoman had already paid them the bill, which amounted to more than two taels of silver. Everyone took turns delivering side dishes to Qing'an Hall.
The mushrooms I sent over last time sold very well.
Xu Wenyan estimated that he could earn more than ten taels of silver just from these mushrooms. If he sold them individually, it would be impossible to make such a high profit.
The reason why the revenue is so high now is entirely because the ramen has become famous, so it makes sense that these condiments are naturally sold at a higher price.
Of course, eating plain noodles is also delicious.
The weather remained sunny for two more days, and the whole village began to harvest potatoes.
Almost all the villagers went out early in the morning. It is summer now and it is unbearable to be under the scorching sun.
Try to work harder in the morning and you will suffer less.
There were seven people in the family and four hoes. The three younger ones were responsible for picking up the potatoes. When they had picked up several baskets, they would let Chen Sanlin carry them.
Chen Sanlin was worthy of his muscular body. Not to mention Xu Wenyan, even Xiaohu had a hard time carrying the full backpack.
Looking at Chen Sanlin again, he carried the baby on his back and walked quickly, carrying it several times without even taking a breath.
"Brother Xu!" Yang Yan and his brother Yang Mu came over from the edge of the field, holding a few straw hats.
"Brother Xu, we are all done."
Yang Yan handed the straw hat to Xu Wenyan. Xu Wenyan tried it on and found that they were about the same size. The one for Chen Sanlin was obviously bigger.
Xu Wenyan rubbed the heads of the two teenagers and said, "That's great. You finished it so quickly. Brother Xu didn't bring any money, so come to our house for lunch." He raised his chin and sent the two boys away without waiting for them to refuse.
"Hurry back, you have a lot of work to do in the fields, so hurry up."
Xu Wenyan distributed straw hats to everyone, and it’s true that the straw hat looked really special when worn by Xiaoman.
It turns out that good-looking people look good in anything they wear.
