Chapter 112 Research on the Curved Plow
When the carriage reached a deserted place, Su Hanchu took out two bags of food from the space, one bag of millet and one bag of corn. The corn was taken from the Hua family's manor before, and he took it out now to raise chickens.
He looked around again and took out a large basin of fish from the space. Well, I haven't eaten fish for some days.
Moreover, Su Hanchu only then discovered that the fish that he had collected into the space on the road had grown exceptionally fat in the pond in the space, and many of the fish had large bellies, which seemed to indicate that they were about to start reproducing.
When they returned to Jun's house, everything that needed to be renovated had been done in the new house, and Chuntao and a few others were cleaning it.
"Madam, our new house is ready. Uncle Zhou asked the workers to go back and rest. Madam, when do you think it would be appropriate to start construction on the other courtyard?"
Liu Shan and others looked at the carriage full of various food and daily necessities and hurried forward to help move them.
Su Hanchu directly directed everyone to move to the new house.
"Chun Tao, Qiu Kui, light the fire and boil some water to prepare dinner. Jiang Like, go to Uncle Zhou's house and tell him that the Jun family is treating everyone to dinner today. Li Heng, go call Hu Xing over as well, and ask his mother to help cook."
He also asked Jun Moye and Liu Shan to go to Banshan Village to bring back the tables, benches and other furniture that had been ordered earlier.
Soon He Fang also came to help. Su Hanchu personally made a big pot of pickled fish. Of course, the pickled cabbage was replaced by the pickled vegetables that Aunt Zhou sent last time.
We were busy until almost evening, and the food was ready. There was a pot of pickled fish, a large bowl of stir-fried meat, a bowl of green beans stewed with bacon, and a pot of radish soup on each table.
Because the Jun family will have two houses, Jun Moye named the new house Mo Chuyuan.
The workers in Mochuyuan, the Jun family, and He Fang and her son filled five tables.
Jun Moye greeted Uncle Zhou and other workers with a smile.
"My dear uncles and brothers, you have all worked hard for so long in the Jun family's Mochu Academy. Today, everyone should eat and drink well. Don't be polite."
Uncle Zhou and others sat down.
"Mo Ye, we weren't being polite, but you were quite polite. You paid us higher wages than the people in town. You built a yard and treated us to so many delicious meals. Your Jun family is the most capable I've ever seen."
Su Hanhan spoke with a smile.
"Uncle Zhou, you are so kind. We are new to the Jun family, so we have to thank you for your special care. I have seen this house, it is well built. Come on, everyone, let's eat. Although it is almost February, the weather is still a bit cold. The food will not taste good if it gets cold."
Normally it is good enough to have enough to eat, and eating meat is a good thing that can only be enjoyed during the Chinese New Year. Such a sumptuous meal is rare in the village. The Jun family has fish, meat and pork today. Everyone has been very greedy for it. They all picked up their bowls and ate rice and meat in big mouthfuls.
Hu Xing had his mouth full of meat and spoke a little slurredly while looking at Jun Moyan.
"The food in your home is so delicious."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyan also picked up a piece of meat.
"Then you should eat more. You can come to my house often in the future. My brother and sister-in-law are very good. They let us eat meat every day."
The happy meal ended only when it was completely dark. Someone wrapped two slices of bacon cooked with beans and vegetables in oil paper or leaves, preparing to take them home for their children to eat. Su Hanchu pretended not to see it. It was normal for a father to feel sorry for his own children.
Seeing that everyone was full and satisfied, Jun Moye spoke.
"Uncle Zhou, we have a large family in the Jun family. Can you guys start work on the other yard in the next couple of days? My wife has already prepared the wages for this yard and will pay them to Uncle Zhou later. Then you can pay everyone."
Uncle Zhou spoke happily after hearing this.
"Okay, everyone has been busy for a long time. So, let's all take a day off tomorrow, and we will start working on another yard the day after tomorrow."
Jun Moye responded with a smile upon hearing this.
"good."
Su Hanchu took out a purse filled with some small change and copper coins.
"Uncle Zhou, please count it. If the quantity is wrong, we can make up for it."
Uncle Zhou put away the purse.
"You can't be wrong, Uncle Zhou believes in you. It's getting late, so let's go back first."
Soon everyone left.
Everyone worked together to clean up the leftovers on the table and wash the dishes.
Uncle Liu had someone move Su Hanchu and Jun Moye's belongings to the main house of Mo Chu Courtyard during the day.
Tonight, Chuntao and other female family members will continue to live in He Fang's house, and those who lived with Jun Moye have moved to the new house.
the next day.
Early in the morning, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye took everyone to have breakfast and then went straight to the fields.
Everyone has a hoe in his hand.
They had all experienced hard times in exile, so they were not unaccustomed to doing things like digging.
After Su Hanhan dug out a small piece, she felt blisters on her hands.
She pursed her lips and looked at the blisters on her palms. Oh, it was really a sin. She had lived two lives and in the end she ended up farming.
Jun Moye walked over and looked at the blisters on her hands. He felt distressed and reached out to hold her hand to look at it.
"Chu Chu, it's almost time. Why don't you take the two of you back to cook and leave this to us."
Su Hanchu looked at everyone working hard, even the children were picking up stones and putting them on the ground.
There are more than ten acres of fields and several acres of dry land. If we really dig them out bit by bit, it would be a bit difficult.
"Well, you guys keep digging first. I'll take Ping'er and Mo Hua back and stop by Aunt Zhou's house."
Jun Moye originally wanted her to go back, so he spoke hurriedly when he heard this.
"Okay, go ahead."
Su Hanchu brought Ping'er and Mo Hua to Aunt Zhou's house first. Because he was familiar with Aunt Zhou, Su Hanchu spoke directly.
"Aunt Zhou, let me ask, do we have to dig up the land in our village bit by bit? Isn't there something that makes it easier to cultivate the land?"
Aunt Zhou smiled and spoke when she heard this.
"So that's what you're asking about. Yes, the Wang family in our village has a cow. We all take turns borrowing the Wang family's cow to plow the land. Of course, we pay a small rental fee. Or if our family doesn't know how to plow the land, we can just ask the Wang family to help us plow the land and then pay them for it."
After saying that, she suddenly remembered that the Jun family had just had a fight with the Wang family in the village, and Aunt Zhou spoke again with some embarrassment.
"Hanchu, look at my aunt's brain. She's forgotten the conflict between your family and the Wang family... But the Wang family is the only one in this village that has cattle. After all, cattle are very precious."
Su Hanchu frowned as he made the oath, then spoke with a smile.
"It's okay, auntie. I'm just asking casually. I'll tell you in a couple of days."
But I was secretly thinking in my heart, is there anything that can replace the oxen to plow the fields?
Since we have already started a fight with the Wang family, it is naturally impossible to ask the Wang family to cultivate the land.
Suddenly, Su Hanchu's mind lit up.
Isn't there a curved plow? That tool is simple and easy to use, and it doesn't require oxen to plow.
"Aunt Zhou, I suddenly remembered something and I'll go back first. Goodbye, Auntie."
Then I went home and started thinking about how to develop the curved plow...
