Chapter 333 Spring Plowing

Mu Xiang was still a little bit dissatisfied, "Madam is obviously not much older than me, why does your age put me in a low position?"

Nanny Qin Qing tapped her forehead lightly with her finger and scolded her with a smile, "You are so disrespectful! Our Madam is so intelligent. How many people can compare to her? Don't you have any shame?"

Mu Xiang immediately felt embarrassed and smiled and shook her hands: "Mammy, I don't mean anything else, I just mean that those aunts are really too much, can't they just trust me for once? Madam has to say the same thing several times a day, it's tiring to watch."

Nanny Qin Qing: "The villagers trust Madam, and Madam doesn't want to betray their trust. It's that simple. If you feel sorry for Madam, please put more effort into the food she cooks and make her an extra cup of good tea."

"Oh, yes, Mammy!"

Nanny Qin Qing also sighed in her heart. Madam is not even 20 years old yet, she is at the age of blooming flowers. What a pity!

At first, only a few people came to ask out of concern, but when others saw others asking, they felt uneasy if they didn't come, so they came too.

It's good to have peace of mind.

Besides, the tea at Mrs. Xu's house is delicious, and the melon seeds and peanuts are so fragrant.

What's even more outrageous is that, I don't know how it got started, but everyone says that Mrs. Xu is a very blessed person, and the yields of the sweet potatoes and potatoes she grows are particularly high. It's like receiving her teachings and guidance, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes she grows this year will definitely have a good harvest!

When going out, he would touch the door of Mrs. Xu's house vigorously back and forth twice, calling it a good omen.

Some people even wanted to ask their natal family and good relatives to visit and chat with Madam Xu, but Liu Lizheng found out and sternly stopped them.

That’s why there was no follow-up.

Xu Zhichun only found out about all this later.

I'm sweating! Feudal superstition is so scary.

Everyone had found out what they needed to know, and they were busy planting seeds.

Xu Zhichun's family planted more sweet potatoes and potatoes this year.

The Qingquan small farm had 160 mu, and with the 40 mu that was later reclaimed, the total was 200 mu. Loujia Village also bought and reclaimed over 100 mu of wasteland, for a total of 130 mu. All of this was to be planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Of the 400 acres behind the house, 300 acres are planned to be planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the other 100 acres will be divided into two equal parts, half will be planted with tomatoes, and the other half will be sown with gooseberry seeds and planted with gooseberry.

If you want a stable supply of ice jelly, purchasing alone is not enough, you have to grow it yourself.

The output of fifty acres of lantern fruit may not be enough. You know, the Qin family sells very good ice jelly in the teahouse in the neighboring county. If they want more in the future, Xu Zhichun has already nodded in agreement.

After all, there are fifty acres as a cover, so it is very convenient to take it out from the space warehouse.

In addition, there are 300 acres of land to be planted with konjac, and we strive to be able to process konjac in the workshop in the second half of the year.

With so much land to plant, Xu Zhichun planned to sow the lantern fruit himself with Nanny Qin Qing, Muxiang, Chunfen and others, and let Yang Ming and his son hire people to do the rest of the work.

Give priority to hiring people from your own village. If time is tight and there is a shortage of manpower, then hire outsiders.

The villagers were overjoyed. Where could you find such a good thing as thirty cents a day?

So he worked harder and seized the time to do his own work, trying to breed his own sweet potatoes and plant his own potatoes, and then he went to work for Xu Zhichun first.

Yang Ming and his son Yang Xiaoan selected the personnel. They did not accept the old, young or weak, but everyone else, regardless of gender, was welcome. Every household in the village had someone go, and the father and son arranged the people separately, with each person in charge of one place.

When sweet potatoes are first being bred, they can be planted in soil that has been fertilized with base fertilizer, and the main purpose is to grow potatoes.

Yang Xiaoan has become more and more experienced in doing things, especially when Liang Xiaoman was recuperating at home, the two of them were very close, and he learned a lot from Liang Xiaoman.

Now Liang Xiaoman comes back occasionally, and the two of them will communicate together.

According to Xu Zhichun, she is relieved that the work in the fields is now handed over to Yang Xiaoan and his son, and there is no need for her to worry about it.

Xu Zhichun planned to plant a lot of konjac this year. They had been digging for so long that most of the ones that had grown to a certain size in the wild had been dug up by them. The other ones that were scattered here and there had to be found slowly, which was time-consuming and laborious, and the harvest was not great.

It's not worth it.

Fortunately, I planted more than 60 acres last year, and it grew very well. This year, I basically don’t need to go out to look for konjac tofu.

Xu Zhichun has already started to lead people to make konjac flour. They make a large amount at one time and dry it. When making konjac tofu or konjac noodles, they only need to mix the starchy konjac flour with warm water and it can be made immediately.

Making konjac flour once can last for seven or eight days.

Isn’t it much easier than before?

Of course, Xu Zhichun’s contribution to this was due to the fact that there was so much ready-made konjac flour in the space, so of course she had to take it out and mix it.

You can add almost half each time.

But these konjacs are far from enough to open a konjac workshop. The land has been cultivated, and the next step is planting.

Xu Zhichun then posted another notice: Purchasing konjac.

You need roots that can be planted, which come in three sizes: large, medium and small. The smallest one costs one cent, the medium one costs three cents, and the largest one costs six cents. Just go and look for them, and take as many as you can.

The whole village was excited and everyone worked even faster.

Yang Xiaoan hurried over to discuss with her that the konjac had to be planted after being dug up, so there were not enough people in the village. Could they hire people from the neighboring village?

Xu Zhichun smiled and nodded.

Of course you can.

I never thought that she could mobilize all the idle labor in the village by herself.

Some of Xu Zhichun's land was still within the territory of Quanshan Village. Yang Xiaoan was very good at dealing with people. When hiring people, he deliberately hired all people from Quanshan Village, and specifically required young and strong laborers. One quota for each family, a total of ten people, and each person was paid thirty cents a day.

Everyone in Quanshan Village was so happy that they rushed to sign up, and soon the names were filled up.

Han Feng happily signed up, and Yang Xiaoan agreed and let Han Songlian go.

Han Fengshi meant that she and Liang Cuier should go as well.

She didn't dare say anything like "our own people" or "family" anymore. News spread very quickly in the neighboring village. Everyone knew what Liang Cui'er had done that caused a very unpleasant situation with Xu Zhichun. Xu Zhichun had publicly severed the relationship with their family.

If Uncle Liang's family is like this, let alone their in-laws.

If you tell others about this, they will laugh at you to death.

She was just showing weakness and begging. Although the relationship was severed, blood relatives were real. Even if Yang Xiaoan turned a blind eye and took care of their family, who could have any objection?
