Celestial grabs dog food

……

Tin-skinned sweet potatoes and potatoes are cheap things, as long as you pay attention to them, they will grow quite gratifyingly. When they were first planted, the dog left twelve copper coins and hired more than ten people a day to turn over twenty acres of land. Yes, the seeds were all planted in a few days.

There are more than two people watering or weeding on weekdays. There are only three uncles.

"Crack."

Gou Sheng took the scissors and cut a sweet potato vine, and showed it to the hall brother and two uncles, "cut it like this, insert one at a distance, water it in the first few mornings, and try to grow as much as possible. , cut off and left two or three leaves on the root, this one can grow again, if there is still land, we can plant some wheat, we keep our own flour to eat."

Previously, at the very beginning, Gou Sheng had already said it in detail once, but the two uncles looked skeptical at that time, so Gou Sheng was so worried that he ran again.

"Is it possible to live like this?" The second uncle asked, shrugging his shoulders.

The second uncle's family also gave birth to a dozen children, and they only raised two sons and two daughters, and they had no skills. Even farming was not very beautiful. Life was the most difficult among the three uncles, and they seemed to be particularly shy. of.

"It can live, outsiders have tried it." Gou Sheng skillfully dug up the soil with a small shovel, and planted the vines.

"It's not difficult. We'll finish it in a few days. Don't worry, we'll start tomorrow morning. It's getting late today, so go back and rest." The little uncle said with a smile.

The dog agreed, and planned to stay a day to see the situation. Of course, my uncle and aunt were very enthusiastic, and they provided delicious food and drinks, but like almost all the families in the village, they didn't have a big bathtub for bathing, and they were not willing to spend those. Firewood; and toilets. In order to save fat, people in the village bought large tanks, put a wooden plank on top, and placed them in the corner of the yard indiscriminately. Just build a shed indiscriminately. I can't pull it out while sitting, and it's so dirty that I dare not open my eyes to see it.

Fortunately, a few uncles and aunts are careful and do things fairly, otherwise, there will be times when the dog will have a headache.

The county magistrate in front, now the special envoy, quickly found a solution that no one would try to grow new crops. It was just a small trial before, but after a few days, he directly took over the head with the magistrate, and directly suppressed people in the name of the emperor. The big households in Jiaxing City were called to force the seeds to be distributed, and the government was ordered to pay a fixed amount of grain before winter.

For a while, in several villages in Qingpu Town, people could be seen working on wasteland or low-grade land. Even if there was a requirement to hand it over, those big households didn't bother much, but they bought some cheap land temporarily. They sent a few honest servants out to replant the seeds, and these two gray and strange things still couldn't catch their eyes.

Gousheng went to the field early the next morning and worked together all morning. In the afternoon, he pushed a few aunts to stay enthusiastically, and drove the donkey cart back to Liushutun.

In the past few days, the firewood at home has been piled outside the firewood house, and tall firewood sticks are piled up under the eaves.

"Barley, don't collect firewood for now, wait until you burn some." Gou Sheng made some lotus root sandwiches for lunch, and explained.

"Don't pick it up, it's broken." Damai shook his head and said stubbornly.

So, in some respects, the precedent of Li Dahua and his wife using barley as an egg is also correct.

"I picked it up after hard work and chopped it up. If it can't be burned, it will be destroyed if it is left outside." Xiaocao said crisply.

"Well, good." Egg said beside him.

What he means is that picking it up and putting it at home is much better than leaving it to rot on the mountain...

After the barley came, the egg got together with him and worked behind him every day.

Dandan is also eight years old this year, and he has begun to have a vague understanding of many things. Somehow, he knew that Gousheng had said that he would share [-]% of the harvest on the mountain with him, so he tried his best to follow suit.

"If we're free, let's go to the mountains outside tomorrow to find some good saplings to plant on the mountains." Gou Sheng asked the little ones to wash their hands and eat, and he took one in his mouth and said.

There used to be something similar to star anise pepper here, but no one used it, and the yield was extremely low, and there were all kinds of wild fruit trees, which Gou Zan spent a lot of time digging and transporting back to plant at the foot of the mountain, and the harvest was all nice one.

Barley responded in a muffled voice.

The lotus root folder is to fry the pork belly first, then stuff it into two slices of lotus root that are not completely cut off, wrap a layer of thinly adjusted flour, fry it in a frying pan, eat it while it is hot, it is crispy and tender Think, a big plate is eaten clean.

There is no Internet, no TV, and even a pitiful few books, and the dog spends more time on food.

Liu Datie heard about it at night, and knocked on the table, "I'll go with you, it's not my own mountain that has been flattened long ago!"

"What are you going to do? I have to plant something random on the mountain. If you have nothing to do, go back to the city early. The two of you have been together for a few days!" Li Dahua put down the bowls and chopsticks, and took a lotus root clip to eat slowly. The mouth is full of oil, although it is delicious, but the brows are twitched in distress, and I have been talking about this food all night.

Because of the convenience of a donkey cart, Gousheng would go to the town every two days, and the family has never stopped eating meat these days.

"Yes." Liu Datie agreed.

"It's not urgent." Gou Sheng stood up and walked around the house slowly in response.

Cooking is to satisfy my desire for tongue and tongue, washing dishes and other arrogance has grown up, and there are also flower girls over there, and Gou Sheng has never done it again.

Dacao had stood up spontaneously, quickly packed the dishes and brought them to the kitchen.

"Not in a hurry! Don't worry if you don't care!" Li Dahua muttered.

Gou Sheng smiled, didn't answer the call, and called, "Xiaocao, go help your sister."

Xiaocao pursed her mouth, grumbled a few times, and went reluctantly.

It’s not always said that parents love the younger ones. When Dacao was only a few years old, Li Dahua forced others to learn to cook and wash clothes, and he had to take care of his younger siblings. Now Xiaocao is almost ten years old and has not done any serious work. Son, the hands are white and tender, not even a callus.

As a result, after a while, Xiaocao ran out bouncing again.

"Eldest sister said she didn't want my help!"

Gou Sheng responded, and Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, and dragged the twins out of the house to chase them.

"Damn it, run around right after eating, you guys won't starve to death at night!" Li Dahua scolded.

In the past, life at home was difficult. We had two thin meals in the morning and evening every day. After eating, we had to lie on the kang. How could we dare to move more? That’s how it was. I often woke up hungry at night. That feeling was more uncomfortable than anything else. When she was really hungry, she could only pour big bowls of cold water and run to the toilet again and again, but her stomach was still burning with hunger, so Li Dahua said this.

In the evening, Li Dahua and his wife and a few younger ones were sent away, and the dog leftover boiled hot water to wipe his body, and after soaking his feet, he rolled comfortably onto the kang.

Without electric lights, oil lamps are really not suitable for reading. For the sake of eyes, I had to close my eyes early every night and sleep for almost ten hours every day. Tonight, Gou Sheng really couldn’t sleep. Pancakes are mediocre.

Don't care or don't worry?

What Li Dahua said casually was actually on point.

In front of my eyes is a strong body with drops of water, a standard inverted triangle upper body, because of repeated exercise, the muscles of the legs are not obvious when they relax, and they look extraordinarily solid and straight. The most eye-catching thing is the middle one. The part is firm and round, and I still clearly remember the feeling when I was drunk, that part has the same texture as others, not as soft as I imagined...

"Whoosh..."

"Uh-ah-"

With a flushed face, Gou Sheng got out of the quilt, took out a large cotton towel that was stained with dirt from under his body, and threw it randomly on a shelf not far away.

Slowly slowing down his breathing, Gousheng let out a long sigh of relief, nothing happened, it would be good to go to Jiaxing City in two days, after thinking about it for a while, sleepiness slowly came up, and he had a good night's sleep.

The hill I went to this time was the one on the east side of the wall, strictly speaking, it was out of the range of Liushutun, but they were all unowned barren hills, with dense trees growing densely on them, and there were no dogs left before. came.

Liu Datie was at the front, Gousheng was in the middle, and Damai was at the back. The three of them took a branch and patted the lush weeds while walking up the mountain. Fortunately, it was only April and the weeds were not tall.

The further we walked in, the deeper the weeds became. After seeing a ground hair grass with small pink and purple flowers sticking to the ground again, Gou Sheng frowned.

Goosegrass is a very common wild flower in this area. The little girls in the village often pick it up and wear it on their heads or bodies. It is so named because its leaves look like chicken feathers. This flower should bloom in summer, not Show up so early.

Gou Sheng raised his head and sniffed vigorously.

"What's wrong?" Liu Datie stopped and asked when he heard the sound.

"Father, do you smell anything strange?"

Liu Datie sniffed around, "No."

"Yes, it's pungent." Barley said behind him.

"Really? Did you smell it?" Gou Sheng asked excitedly.

"Ah."

"Father, let's look around, there must be a hot spring here!" Gou Sheng exclaimed excitedly.

"Hot spring?" Liu Datie murmured suspiciously, he just thought it was a novelty that Gou Sheng had read from the book, and without asking any further questions, he quickly caught up with Gou Sheng and said, "Be careful, watch your steps."

I didn't go far, and I saw a small stream of hot water flowing out from a crack in the stone, flowing down a large stone slab. Because the stream was so small, the water that flowed out seeped into the soil, and there was no water left. pond.

Gou Sheng touched the stone slab with his hand, and it was a little hot. The water flowing out is estimated to be over sixty degrees, which warms the surrounding land. No wonder the summer wildflowers are blooming now.

"Father, which village does this hill belong to?"

"Shandong Tun, what's the matter?" Liu Datie sat down on the big rock and asked in turn.

"I want to buy it, it will be of great use!"

Gousheng's eyes are bright, as if he has seen the fresh and tender vegetables that grow in winter, and he can soak in hot springs after repairing a pool...

"Tossing around, I don't know how to buy some high-quality fields if I have money, and it's serious to grow some grain..."

Liu Datie just said a few words in vain. Firstly, he was a big dog, and secondly, he went to someone else's house. It's not his turn to decide anything.

When I came back this time, except for the 20 taels of silver left to the mountain official, the rest of my family was about 180 taels. I bought 72 acres of medium-sized land and asked for 100 taels. Expenses and so on, I still have about 80 taels in my hand. If I add this season’s rabbit’s income and sell some of the family’s large pile of food, I guess I can make up another [-] taels...

Gou Sheng had already figured it out.

The two villages were originally connected, and many families were relatives by marriage, and they often met in the market. Liu Datie found a familiar family, and asked the head of the family to help guide him to Lizheng in Shandong Village.

Here is an old man with white beard and hair, who seems to be slow in speaking and doing things, but he is not easy to fool.

There are two ways for Tianchao to buy land. One is to buy and sell privately. The two parties negotiate the price and exchange the money deed. After taking the land deed, according to the normal way, you need to discuss with Lizheng first, and Lizheng will go to deal with the land contract together. After all, the mountain is in the boundary of other people's land!

"That mountain, how many years have the folks in the village go to chop firewood, ah, catch a pheasant and a rabbit to beat teeth for a sacrifice..."

Talking in a slow and elongated tone, Gou Sheng's face stiffened with a smile.

Qingpu Town is very mountainous, and every village has more or less hills, but there are more or less hills in Shandong. People in the villages go to the two or three nearby hills at most to cut firewood and hunt. Liushutun is next to each other, so where else will anyone go!

Last time, the mountain where the rabbits were raised was considered a big deal, because no one wanted to open up wasteland, so they did it directly, and only paid three or four years of tax and silver, and the total went to less than 20 taels of silver. The mountain official has a military household , and tax and silver are also saved.

The old man Lizheng obviously didn't know what Gousheng was really looking for, but Gousheng still refused to let go after raising the price to 80 taels.

In Qingpu Town, the top-grade good land is generally six to seven taels per mu, and the medium-sized fields are three to four taels per mu. One mu more, the barren hills can only be regarded as the most inferior land, and the hill looks bigger than Gousheng's previous one, with more than one hundred mu, 80 taels is not a high price, but it is not low either.

"I just said that it's serious to buy some good land!" Liu Datie held Gou Sheng and said with a straight face, "See if your mother doesn't beat you when you go back!"

Just then Lao Li raised his head, covered his mouth on purpose and yelled haha, "It's like this when you're old, you don't have energy all day long, and you doze off in the blink of an eye. Forgive me, the old man just heard that you are willing to pay 80 yuan. Two bought the hills over there! If you two are free, how about we go and get the land deed now?"

"Old fox." Gou Sheng muttered.

"Come on, let's go back and search slowly, there will always be a good place!" Liu Datie walked out with the dog left, "Today, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Gousheng understands that it's not that Liu Datie knows how to put on a bad face or something, this middle-aged man seriously disagrees with buying another barren hill.

"The two of you, Ganqing, have been babbling for a long time, just to tease my old man!"

Lao Lizheng wasn't jealous either, so he immediately put on a bad face, stopped speaking in a drawn-out tone, and said something with an angry face on purpose.

Liu Datie is an honest person, and he was at a loss when he heard the words.

"It's still 80 taels, don't play tricks, go and sign the contract now, just trouble you to make it clear to the people in the village, don't go around cutting firewood and hunting in the future, if we don't take care of it for a while I don't want anyone to go to that mountain." Gou Sheng said firmly.

Lao Li laughed with his shriveled mouth that was cracked with few teeth left, "Little brother is a refreshing person, of course that is, don't worry!"

The last half sentence was addressed to Liu Datie.

Gou Sheng couldn't keep things in his mind, now that it was decided, he immediately drove the donkey cart to Qingpu Town, accompanied by Lao Lizheng's eldest son, because Gou Sheng was a military household, he didn't suffer any trouble, Soon I got the title deed, with the date of purchase and 150 mu of barren hills written in black and white on it.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go to define the land, please make another trip!"

At the fork in the two villages, Lao Li Zheng's eldest son got off the donkey cart.

"Understood, you go slowly, pay attention to safety on the road!" Gou Sheng waved his hand and said politely.

Liu Datie had a lump in his heart, and drove the car in a muffled voice without speaking.

Buying a mountain is no small matter. Although I really want to start building a hot spring village immediately, it would be better to grow vegetables and live in the winter, so Gou Sheng decided to go back to Jiaxing City.

"You are old, we can't control what you do, you must discuss it with the mountain official when you go back... Life is a matter between two people, and you have to give in to everything... Anyway, you still have parents, so don't be too careful... "

Since Gousheng bought the barren mountain, Li Dahua was furious at first, and made a fuss for a while, almost making himself so troubled that he couldn't get up and down the kang, but after being comforted by Gousheng, he started talking nervously again.

Gou Sheng responded patiently, and he still had to think of a way to ease Li Dahua's heart, to ensure that he would earn back the money, live a good life with the mountain official, and the two had reconciled long ago...

Liu Datie was worried that the dog would be left alone to drive the donkey cart on the road, so he asked Egg to follow, "It's good to have someone to talk to on the road!"
