Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Aunt Zhao snorted and laughed, "You're right! Domestic chickens can't fly, but pheasants can. How do you raise them?"

"Besides, it's still unclear whether these eggs can hatch into chicks!"

Zhao Hu became depressed. "What should I do? I can only eat it! Mom, let's make some dumplings with chives and eggs! I love them!"

"What don't you like to eat?" Aunt Zhao kept busy with her hands and mouth. "Tell me, what don't you like to eat?"

An An made faces at Zhao Hu, and seeing Zhao Hu's pout, she couldn't help but say, "Grandma, An Baoer wants to eat leek and egg dumplings too. What should I do?"

Aunt Zhao said in a very hypocritical manner: "Eat! Ask your mother to knead some more dough! Go with your Aunt Qi to cut leeks!"

Zhao Hu frantically went to get the basin, "I'll knead the dough. I'm strong!"

As he spoke, Xu Xia brought over half a small bag of noodles. "Oh, what a delicious smell! Aunt Zhao, I heard there's even a portion for us? We can't eat for free, so the master asked me to bring some noodles over."

Aunt Zhao quickly refused: "No, no, we have face."

"Auntie," Xu Xia pointed to the next door, "If you don't take it in, the adults won't let us eat it!"

Aunt Zhao said in embarrassment: "But this white flour is too expensive..."

"It's not white flour," Xu Xia opened the bag, "it's two-grain flour." White flour and corn flour are mixed together.

Aunt Zhao then stopped talking.

Xu Xia helped move out another table and worked with Zhao Hu. If Zhao Hu was not at home, he would not be able to come over.

Two women who were friends with Aunt Zhao heard the hustle and bustle in their yard, came over to take a look, and when they heard that they had to help Mr. Zhou and his friends cook, they took the initiative to help.

Qin Ying freed up her hands and went with the Zhou sisters to prepare the leek and egg filling and bring it over, and then went to make some cold dishes.

By the time all the dumplings were wrapped, it was already noon.

The two women patted the flour on their hands and were about to leave. Qin Ying stuffed two bundles of vegetables and two loofahs into each of them, and said that all the cucumbers had been picked today, and she would send them more in two days when there were more.

As for vegetables, everyone has them, but not many are as juicy and strong as those in Old Zhao's family, so the two of them happily picked them up and went home together.

Aunt Zhao first cooked two large pots and sent them to Zhou Yu and the others, and then cooked her own food.

Three large bowls of cold dishes were also delivered.

This amount of dumplings should be enough for them to eat, but there were more than a dozen guards including Feng Gang, so Zhou Yu also steamed two large pots of steamed buns and a large pot of stew.

Feng Gang also gained a preliminary understanding of Zhou Yu's life here and knew how much he was loved by the people.

Within two days, Aunt Zhao heard that several villages were going to join together to build a brick kiln.

Of course, Zhou Yu was the one who took the lead in this matter. In the past few days, the leaders of several villages gathered together to discuss this matter.

Zhao Hu took it upon himself to inquire about the news and came back saying, "Master Zhou said that we must rebuild our house in the future. The house we live in now is too bad.

"Also, the roads in our villages need to be rebuilt. The adults said that we should organize people to build the roads in the next two days, and the millstones should be prepared. Otherwise, we won't be able to take care of them during the busy farming season.

"It just so happens that he has someone on hand now, so he thought of giving these two things to him first."

Aunt Zhao clasped her hands together and said something to the Buddha: "Thank goodness, we have met a good official like Lord Zhou!"

Qin Ying was also very happy: "It's a good thing that the roads in the village are easy to walk on. If all the roads are connected, it will be convenient for us to go anywhere in the future.

"After the brick kiln is built, villagers can go to work during the slack season.

"If you have more things to do, you won't get into any trouble."

"That's right!" Aunt Zhao laughed from ear to ear. "Everyone is busy making money, who has time to find work?"

Qin Ying mentioned another thing: "In a few days, our rapeseed will be ready for harvest. I wonder how much oil we can squeeze out. I wonder if the oil press near here will still be usable..."

Aunt Zhao said, "Let's talk to your Master Chen Jiu later and ask him to find someone to take a look. If the big stuff isn't broken, it can definitely be used after repairs!"

"Now that we have planted rapeseed, we won't have to be stingy with oil anymore!"

Good news came one after another. The oil press has been repaired and is fully usable.

So after the rapeseeds were harvested, each family took some to press oil, and happily carried the oil gourds home.

That night, the aroma of hot oil wafted from most homes in Tongshutun.

Soon after, all the strong laborers were organized to repair the roads. All the roads in the village were leveled again. They were pounded back and forth several times by animals, and then covered with crushed sand and gravel, and pounded again...

Within a few days, the roads in the village became wide and smooth.

Following closely are the roads leading to the outside world from each village...

Feng Gang and the other sixteen guards were divided into two groups, one group helped build the road, and the other group was sent to build a brick kiln.

When the road here is almost repaired, the brick kiln will also be basically completed.

How could Feng Gang and the others have ever done such strenuous work? They could only sleep for a little over three hours a day, spending most of their time working hard, and their food was barely nutritious, leaving them all looking very dark and thin.

I thought I could go back and report after finishing all this, but I didn't expect it to be the summer harvest time.

They were divided into groups again to help harvest the wheat...

The weather has returned to normal now. Since the beginning of summer, it has become rainy, especially during the wheat harvest, when the weather is changeable and we have to rush to harvest.

Those who were used to doing farm work didn't feel anything, but Feng Gang and others were practically skinned alive.

After the wheat is harvested and the grains are stored in the warehouse, everything should be fine, right? But we still have to rush to plant...

Feng Gang and others were miserable and felt that there was no hope in their lives.

But when he saw that his eldest son did everything by himself and was even as good at farm work as those farmers, he did not dare to complain.

With An An here, this year's summer harvest is a bumper one, not only in Tongshutun.

The happiest person was of course Zhou Yu. He transferred a batch of grain from other places and exchanged it for high-quality grain seeds with the local farmers, and he felt greatly relieved.

Later, the chicks and lambs that had been ordered were delivered, and Feng Gang and others who were preparing to set off again were kept behind.

Each village was given 100 chicks and 20 lambs.

Raising rabbits, pigs and other livestock collectively was already very difficult in Tongshu Village, so everyone decided to raise these chicks and lambs separately. Whoever was able to raise as many as possible could report it, and the chicks and lambs would be distributed after verification.

In the end, the Zhao family raised four chickens and two lambs.

A chicken coop was built next to the rabbit pen in the yard, and two sheep were temporarily tied to stakes in the yard.

Aunt Zhao was a little worried: "There are too many living things in the yard, and the smell is too strong! What should I do?"

Qin Ying looked at the yard of her eastern neighbor and wondered, if Guo Wen didn't come back, would this yard...

She quickly shook her head and dismissed the idea. After all, cursing others was not a good idea.

I discussed with Aunt Zhao that we might as well build another yard behind the courtyard and move the rabbits and other animals out. Anyway, they are close by and convenient to look after.
