Chapter 543 Plan

These fish cannot be caught using fishing nets. The fish caught on the fishing nets are basically injured and difficult to keep alive.

If they die in the fish pond, it will cause pollution.

So we can only use a scoop net to catch it.

However, in this era, wild fish resources are abundant, and they raise fish and shrimp for their own consumption, not for sale, so there is no need to rush and they can just take their time.

These fish and shrimps are raised in the fish pond. Who knows how many they will multiply in one or two years.

Qiao Xuan even felt that she needed to be selective, as not all fish were qualified to enter her fish pond.

After planting the lotus roots, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan and Ding Erzhu led the three families of Lin Mian to visit their own fields.

The tea trees that were transplanted earlier are doing very well and have already started to sprout. The same is true for the Ficus microcarpa, which is sprouting branches and leaves. In summer, it will definitely be a sea of green at a glance.

The growth rate of Ficus microcarpa is very fast.

After Qiao Xuan used her supernatural power to induce childbirth, it became three or four times faster.

Qiao Xuan also went to check on the tea seedlings cultivated in the garden at home this morning. Because they were given wood-related abilities during the budding period, the trees grew densely and lushly, and were already a foot and a half tall. Qiao Xuan was planning to wait for a rain, and after the latest rain, she could transplant the seeds.

After visiting Cha Lin and Xi Li, they returned to the yard, and Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan explained the work to Lin Mian and the others in detail.

They didn't have to take care of the paddy fields, as the tenants were there to grow them. They were responsible for taking care of the tea trees and litchi trees, including making daily rounds and reporting any problems as soon as they were discovered.

Daily weeding, pruning and fertilizing.

The three families all had half-grown children, so they bought six cows and gave them to them to take care of.

These six cows were bought for the convenience of the tenants, and cow dung is also needed to fertilize the rice fields, so it would not be good without cows.

Year after year, the fields became less fruitful.

The tenants did not use the cow for free, they rented it, but at a very cheap price. If a cow was used for three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, the rent for the day was only three cents.

The tenants were ecstatic with such cheap rent, and no one would be unwilling to rent.

By the time all the trivial matters were arranged, it was already noon.

Zhou's mother and daughter prepared lunch. Old Madam Zhou smiled and invited Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan to eat. "The two masters, please feel free to eat some. They are all clean!"

Ever since the house was built, Qiao Xuan saw that she was a good person with a straightforward personality and a kind heart. She was more successful in Zhangjia Village than Zhou, so she simply hired her and paid her one or two taels of silver a month to help look after the house.

Don't be so strict with her, she can go home if she has something to do.

Old Mrs. Zhou was naturally very willing.

So he just moved in with his grandchildren.

There is a vegetable garden here where you can grow your own vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. Just bring some food from home. It’s only a fool who would not want to spend one or two taels of silver.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were not picky people, so they agreed with a smile and decided to eat here at noon.

A plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of steamed sausage, and a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts. It is simple and clean, but the ingredients are good, so the taste is naturally not bad.

After lunch, the two went into town to buy meat.

There is no shortage of all kinds of food at home, such as cured meat, cured sausage, cured fish, cured duck, sour meat, salted eggs, and preserved eggs, but what we lack is something fresh.

Qiao Xuan was craving for lamb skewers, and everyone was craving for them too, so they just had a good meal.

The two bought twelve pounds of mutton with both fat and lean meat, as well as two lamb trotters, four pig trotters, a rack of ribs, and a piece of pork belly. The pork belly will be used to make twice-cooked pork and braised pork with pork belly tomorrow, and the rest will be braised today.
