Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

As the weather gradually warms up, it is time to weed and fertilize winter wheat.

Ordinary people are most concerned about food, so the tofu shop stopped working for three afternoons to let everyone finish the heavy work in the fields. As for weeding, everyone in the family, young and old, can help.

Liu Ming and Wu Sangui went to inspect the farms and fields in the town, while Liu Xu began to pay attention to the new courtyard.

The potatoes had already bloomed, and at that time Liu Xu led the servants to pick the flower buds one by one, because my grandmother in her previous life said that if they were allowed to bloom, the potatoes would grow small and few.

According to the calculation, these potatoes can be harvested in about 20 days. During this period, we must pay attention to watering, and neither water accumulation nor water shortage.

Peppers and corns also grew rapidly after the fertilizer application, especially corns, which were already more than two feet tall, and some were even three feet tall. Watermelons and cowpeas also had vines.

Thinking about the continuous harvest of these things in the future, Liu Xu's eyes smiled into crescents.

In the clan school, Tang Zhiqiu paid great attention to the children of Liujia Village. Although their qualifications varied, the learning atmosphere of these children was much more intense than that of the school where he had studied before.

Moreover, none of the children have the concept that they are precious because they are scholars. In addition to studying and practicing calligraphy every day, they still help with farm work at home.

He once asked a few children who had the potential to take the imperial examination, and the answer he got was, "Xu'er said that we are originally from a peasant family, and we study to understand reason. Those who think they are superior to others after studying are called ungrateful wolves!"

Although the words were rough, the logic was sound. Tang Zhiqiu reflected deeply on himself. It seemed that he had once been what they called a white-eyed wolf...

The person who said this was Liu Chengjie, Liu Xu's cousin from the next room, and the grandson of her second grandfather. If Liu Xu knew about this, she would definitely say that he was a traitor.

In this era, which scholar is not noble? Fortunately, Tang Zhiqiu has experienced hardships and her character has changed, otherwise she might be scolded by others.

Tang Zhiqiu took this back and told his mother and son. After hearing this, Tang's mother pondered for a moment and said that they were all old, but they were not as clear-headed as a child.

As for Tang's mother, ever since Tang Zhiqiu became familiar with the villagers, she learned about Doctor Meng and immediately invited him to her home to treat her mother.

Doctor Meng's fees are much cheaper than those of other clinics, and his medical skills are obviously better. Over the past ten days, Tang's mother's complexion has improved significantly. She used to cough from time to time, but now she chats with the old ladies in the village for half an afternoon and looks very energetic.

People in the village were building new houses one after another. Those who were rich gave the whole project to Zhu Jiacheng and his people, while those who were a little less well-off bought the materials themselves and asked the villagers to help them build the house.

Everyone working in the embroidery workshop knew that Liu Xu's hut was very well built, and these women said they would pay for it and build one for their own home, which was clean, tidy and convenient. The only drawback was that it was a bit expensive, but they were happy to spend the money.

Others followed suit after they built it, and Zhu Jiacheng made a small profit from it.

The pig farm over at Zhuangzi has been put into use, and now the family sends a horse-drawn carriage carrying bean dregs to Zhuangzi every day.

The manager of the pig farm was the original manager of the farm, who was bought together with the farm. Liu Ming had observed that he was a decent man and had some brains.

He hired two women from the tenant farmers' families to help with cooking, feeding the pigs and cleaning, and paid each of them three hundred coins a month.

The two women were heartbroken to learn that their boss actually fed the pigs with bean dregs. They had seen bean dregs fried in oil in the town before. The pancakes were no bigger than a palm and cost a penny each.

But the manager said that this was the boss's intention, so they didn't say much. They just shamelessly asked the manager for a pound or two of fish to take home as a snack for their children.

The manager reported this matter to Liu Ming, and Liu Ming said that one or two kilograms would be fine, but if they were greedy, the manor would not be able to keep the two families.

It's no wonder that the two women had some ideas at first, but after being reprimanded by the steward, they did their duty.

Other tenants also asked about it, and Liu Ming said that if they wanted bean dregs, they could exchange them for soybeans. One pound of soybeans could be exchanged for two pounds of bean dregs, but each household should not exceed five pounds of soybeans per day.

I just said it casually, thinking that these people would feel disadvantaged, but I didn't expect that they would actually be willing to change...

When Liu Ming told Liu Xu about this, Liu Xu's eyes lit up and he immediately told Liu Changshun the solution.

For them, bean dregs are the recycled waste from tofu production and are not very valuable, but it is different for other people.

Many people in Yuyang Town know that bean curd cakes can be sold for money. In the past, Liujia Village did not sell them to the outside world, but now they are willing to change, so can't they also sell them?

So, there are still many smart people in this world.

However, because of this, more than 1,000 kilograms of bean dregs are ordered every day. However, as everyone becomes more skilled, the daily output of soy products is increasing, and correspondingly, there is also a lot of bean dregs. One kilogram of soybeans produces one and a half kilograms of bean dregs, and the daily output of bean dregs is already around 3,000 kilograms.

As for the workers who occasionally asked for some to change their taste, Liu Changshun gave them generously.

Now that Xing'er and his sister have entered school, Dong Bin has more time to help Liu Changshun and manage the tofu shop in an orderly manner.

At the same time, he also admired the little girl Liu Xu very much. After they came to Liujia Village, they gradually realized that Liujia Village and even their current masters could be what they are today thanks to the seven-year-old girl.

A little girl, just based on the stories her mother tells her, will keep trying and practicing, and finally succeed. How smart she is.

If Liu Xu knew what he was thinking, he would probably just say, "Dude, you think too much!"

She is standing on the shoulders of giants, the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture!

Fortunately, she is not a nerd, otherwise, book knowledge alone would not be enough. Thanks to the almighty lady and all kinds of bloggers, practice is the key to success!
