My delicate husband
Chapter 84: Yunling County Villages Begin to Shortage Water
Lan Euan always felt like he had forgotten something recently. Oh, he forgot to upgrade the space rice seeds.
The next achievement has been achieved, Lan Euan quickly enters the space and clicks to upgrade.
Lan An planted a large batch of peppercorns. He didn't have much expectation for starting a business now, but he remembered that he had promised Zhang Xiaomo to make him spicy skewers, so Lan An had not given up yet.
Having been longing for hot pot for half a year, Lan An felt that he should be able to eat it this winter. Lan An didn't know why he was so obsessed with hot pot. He had eaten so many delicious things in his previous life, but he had never eaten hot pot.
Hot pot should be eaten with truly close people, chatting while eating. In his previous life, he had no close people and no friends. Now that he has Zhang Xiaomo, he doesn't have to envy anyone anymore.
Zhang Xiaomo was fine after the fourth acupuncture treatment. Apart from feeling a little weak, he did not vomit blood or faint. Lan An really thanked all the Chinese and Western gods whom he had just prayed to in his heart.
As long as they can get through the last three acupuncture treatments, they will see the dawn of victory. He will have enough time to pamper Zhang Xiaomo. As long as they can get through this course of treatment, they will not be afraid of the other blue eucalyptus.
It is almost June and the weather is getting hotter. It has not rained for more than two months. Lan An always feels too hot wearing so many clothes. He has to wear underwear, a whole set of inner clothes, and an outer robe. Lan An thinks he can buy summer clothes in advance. He is still afraid of heat.
"Brother Xiaomo, let's go to the clothing store to buy some summer clothes. Aren't we supposed to go back to the village tomorrow?"
"Okay, An An, wait for me."
"Brother Xiaomo, what are you going to do with the money?"
"I'm buying clothes for An An."
When they arrived at the clothing store, they found that there were indeed many new summer styles. Most of the people who came to buy ready-made clothes were not rich people. The clothes of rich young men and women were all custom-made. Lan An also wanted to customize some clothes, but he guessed that Zhang Xiaomo would not let him wear them.
Lan An secretly customized six sets of ice silk vests and shorts for Zhang Xiaomo. Although the shopkeeper had never seen them, he still promised to make them well. Although Lan An was not sure whether Zhang Xiaomo would wear them, he would wear them alone if not.
Lan An bought three sets of ice silk long gowns and one set of cotton long gowns for Zhang Xiaomo; he also bought one set of ice silk long gowns, two sets of cotton long gowns, and two sets of linen jackets and trousers for himself; Lan An bought two sets of cotton long gowns, two sets of cotton jackets and trousers for Guo Ge'er, and bought the same ones for Brother Xu and Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, one set of cotton long gowns, one set of cotton jackets and trousers, two sets of linen long gowns, and two sets of linen jackets and trousers, and asked the waiter to deliver them directly to Brother Xia's courtyard, and Bai Lu would receive them.
The shopkeeper was very happy. An Ge'er would come to buy a lot of clothes almost every two months. This was the first time he saw his husband, and they were indeed a perfect match.
"An An, did you buy too much?"
"No, Brother Xiaomo, it will take a month or two before I can buy clothes again."
The two of them strolled around the county town again. When Zhang Xiaomo saw the candied haws, he looked at Lan An with some grievance.
"Brother Xiaomo, should we buy a whole one too?"
"No, I'm not An Ge'er."
Lan Euan bought a whole one this time. He didn't want Zhang Xiaomo to have to carry it, so he held it obediently.
"Brother Xiaomo, I will make all kinds of fruits for you in the future. I will also grow the fruits for you myself."
When the two returned home, Guo Ge'er saw Lan An holding a candied haws and felt a little greedy. Just as he was about to grab a string, Lan An took it directly into the inner room.
Lan'an is used to washing new clothes before wearing them. Guo Ge'er didn't understand it at first, but he got used to it under Lan'an's insistence.
Lan Euan washed his and Zhang Xiaomo's clothes separately, and left the rest to Guo Ge'er and Bai Lu.
Zhang Xiaomo has become accustomed to Lan'an's strange little habits. He found that Lan'an always liked to wash new clothes and bedding in hot water before use, and also liked to boil dishes in hot water before use. All the seasonings at home were stored in the same cans and placed in the same direction. He liked to have a complete set of things. He thought the picky Lan'an was a bit cute.
On the second day, the group changed into their newly bought long gowns and returned to Lotus Village. Xue Ge'er brought Lan Euan's newly bought summer clothes, and Brother Xu also changed into a jacket and trousers to make it easier to work.
Guo Ge'er and Xue Ge'er went to the side yard. Lan An had never been there before. Since they lived there, they just let them do what they wanted. However, Guo Ge'er was still very curious.
Brother Xu told Lan An about his recent situation, and focused on the fact that County Magistrate Wu came to question him. Lan An probably guessed what County Magistrate Wu was thinking, and he told Brother Xu not to worry about it.
Zhang Xiaomo was pulled aside by Brother Xie to chat. Lan An found that everyone had also changed into summer clothes, but they were just waistcoats, specially worn for work. They looked very cool. Lan An looked at them enviously for a while.
There are walking abdominal muscles everywhere, it is really a paradise for Xiao O, but Lan An still likes Zhang Xiaomo's body. He just wants to wear a waistcoat and a vest openly.
"An An, does it look good?"
"Brother Xiaomo, I didn't see it."
"Brother An, your eyes are almost glued to them."
"Bullshit, Brother Xie, it's obviously you who have your eyes glued to Brother Zhu."
"An An, don't look."
"Brother Xiaomo, I really didn't look at it. I just wanted to wear a waistcoat."
"An An, no."
Zhang Xiaomo grabbed Lan'an's waist and pinched it twice deliberately to make him naughty. Brother Xie looked at him enviously for a few times, but still worked honestly.
The aunts sat together and chatted. They were very happy to see Ang'er. They had a lot of gossip to tell Lan An, so Lan An immediately pulled Zhang Xiaomo to join them.
"Ang'er, this is really thanks to you. It looks like there will be a severe drought today."
"Auntie Wang, there's not much afternoon today."
"Ang'er, don't you think it's very hot this year? The river in our village is almost out of water."
"Is it that serious?"
"That's right. The water levels in the village wells have all dropped significantly."
"In some villages, the rice has died in the sun, and some have no water. But thanks to the county magistrate, we were able to notify them in advance, and most of them have already stored water."
"Fortunately, we prepared in advance, otherwise many people would have starved to death."
"Ang'er, it hasn't rained for almost three months. It hasn't rained much this year. How can there be no water shortage?"
"Anger, the peppers are all red, do you want to pick them all?"
"If you want, dry them all."
Lan An chatted for a while and asked Brother Man to take him to the fields to have a look. Zhang Xiaomo was left in the yard by Lan An to read a book because it was too hot.
When I went to the field, I found that the tomatoes were drooping. I irrigated the land every day but it couldn't retain water. Blue Eucalyptus had no choice but to secretly use the spiritual spring water from the space to irrigate.
The watermelons have started to bear fruit. There are about 200 watermelons per acre of land. I am quite satisfied with the number. I just don’t know how big they will grow. It will take at most 20 days before they can be eaten, just in time for the hottest weather.
The peanut leaves are a little dry. I don’t know if it’s because the blue gum is lacking water or because the peanuts are about to ripen.
I pulled out a handful of blue gum. The good news was that there were peanuts inside. The bad news was that the peanuts were a bit shriveled and lacked water, so the blue gum had to be irrigated with spiritual spring water.
The peppers are indeed ready to be picked, and the ginger is quite drought-resistant and growing well.
The rice has entered the heading stage and the demand for water is also relatively high. Although there are water wheels, the water in the irrigation channels is not very deep and the water level can be clearly seen to drop.
The blue eucalyptus trees also had to be irrigated with spiritual spring water again, and the spiritual spring water was directly flowed into the irrigation channel so that all the fields could be irrigated.
Fortunately, Brother Man was feeding the horse water and didn't notice Lan Euan's actions.
After one round of irrigation, Lan An obviously felt that the crops were much more energetic, and Lan An planned to irrigate them once a week in the future.
I went to the market to sell tomatoes in three waves. The first wave sold about 15 denarii, the second wave sold more than denarii, and the third wave sold more than denarii. There are still some left now, but I have to wait two days before I can pick them. I guess the remaining tomatoes can be picked in two or three waves before they are sold out.
Lan An has always bought tomatoes from his aunt's house at 8 cents a piece. Lan An felt that the Yunling County market could only sell to tomatoes a day at most. If he wanted to grow them on a large scale, he had to solve the transportation problem.
Lan Euan also calculated that, excluding labor costs, he could earn about five taels of silver from one acre of tomatoes, which was more profitable than growing rice, and it was not too hard.
Lan An returned to the courtyard. Zhang Xiaomo was reading a book in the yard. Lan An asked Guo Ge'er to arrange for people to pick peppers. Pick all the red ones, wash them and dry them in the sun.
"Brother Guo, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry about it. You guys just stay in the village for the next few days."
"Ang'er, don't worry."
The roof of the house has been completed. What remains is the carving, windows, floor heating, whitewashing, and the courtyard. It is estimated that it will take another twenty days.
After the house is built, it needs to be ventilated for a week to remove moisture, and then it takes a day or two to arrange the furniture. In less than a month, you can move in.
"Brother Xiaomo, we will be able to live in this house in a month. Please help me calculate the wages tonight."
"An An, give me a reward, and I will help you."
"Brother Xiaomo, I'll give you a reward once it's calculated."
It has been almost two months since the construction of the house started, and time has passed very quickly. Lan An plans to calculate the wages in the next two days and pay the villagers for this period of time. It has not been easy for them.
Most of the roads in the village have been repaired. Blue Eucalyptus now doesn't know whether it should be thankful that it didn't rain. If it had rained, the progress of the houses and village roads would not have been so fast. However, if it hadn't rained, the drought in some villages would be quite serious now, but it has little to do with Blue Eucalyptus.
The sun gradually set. Lan An looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he arranged the next task for Brother Xu and asked Brother Man to send him and Zhang Xiaomo back to the county town. Guo Ge'er and Chun Qiudong stayed to help. The fields were short of water and needed someone to keep an eye on them. Guo Ge'er was also responsible for picking and drying peppers.
Lan An also specifically instructed Brother Han to go to the fields every morning and evening to check on the crops, and if the leaves were drooping, remember to water them. Brother Han agreed without hesitation, which made Lan An feel relieved.
After returning to the county town, Brother Man drove the carriage back to the village. The house in the village had been built, and they preferred to live in their room. Lan An also agreed with them. After all, they were in the village, and Lan An basically didn't have to worry about them. Besides, it was enough for Zhang Xiaomo to have him by her side.
