Liu Yuhan looked at peanuts and soybeans these two days and found that some of them had just grown flowers. She had never grown these two crops before and didn't know that the cycle of these crops was so long.
It seemed impossible to wait until they were done before planting sweet potatoes and peanuts. Much of the village's sandy fields were already planted with soybeans, leaving no room for two acres to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
This matter has just been reported to County Magistrate Zhu and others. County Magistrate Zhu and the prefect discussed it and decided to allocate two acres of sandy fields to each household in Fulai Village. The villagers can reclaim the uncultivated sandy fields themselves and will not have to pay taxes for three years.
The two adults came, accompanied by Zhang Lizheng and Lin the village chief. Xu Zhubo would bring people back tomorrow to measure the sand fields with the Lizheng for the villagers. The villagers could buy them if they wanted. In short, just like the Liu family's previous 200 mu, the price was half a tael of silver per mu.

The Liu family's courtyard was finally quiet. Liu Yang and the others had cleaned up the courtyard.
I wasn’t very hungry after eating sweet potatoes in the afternoon, so I simply made some wontons in the evening. The filling of the wontons was fresh minced pork, chopped carrots, chopped green onions, wild ginger water, an egg, and some chicken essence, salt and vegetable oil.
Li Baizhi had already rolled out the dough, and Liu Yuhan, Liu Yun and Liu Yao were the main people responsible for making wontons. The younger ones also wanted to make them when they saw it.
"If you want to make a bag, wash and wipe your hands clean. Come here and I'll teach you."
"Sister, let me help you make dumplings. I've made dumplings before, so I can learn how to do it."
"Big sister, the one I made doesn't look good, I'll just make two, hehe."
"Sister Han, can my sister and I also have a bag?"
"Xiaobei, Xiaoxi, of course you can help. Wash your hands and I'll teach you."
Liu Yuhan taught them step by step.
Seeing that they were enjoying their studies, the adults let them do what they wanted. Old Madam Wu sat outside the kitchen door, watching her grandchildren. Their faces were serious as they followed the little girl in making wontons. The little girl was teaching them very attentively.
During the two days at the Liu family, they did many things for the first time. Even if they couldn't do them well, they were very happy. Even Madam Wu could feel their joy.
Liu Yuhan considers herself a good teacher, but ideals are full of hope, while reality is skinny.
Ugh, these wontons are wrapped in strange shapes, some with their bellies showing, and some with only a tiny bit of topping. Well, after all, they all taste the same once cooked.
Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of these little ones when they were learning, she couldn't discourage them, because the important thing was their participation.
The wontons were all cooked together, so tonight everyone had a big bowl of wontons in all kinds of shapes and sizes.
Everyone was laughing and joking while eating. Some were even wondering if they had made the wontons themselves, or who had made these ugly wontons. Everyone was laughing and joking.
Liu Yuhan packed a smaller portion of wontons for Xiaobei. He had already eaten sweet potatoes in the afternoon, and eating too much sweet potato wouldn't be easy to digest, so he ate less at night. After the wontons, he gave them some easy-to-digest hawthorn slices. The little ones loved the sour and sweet taste.
It was night and Old Mrs. Jiang started calling people to go to bed.
Today is another fulfilling day.
