"No, my saliva is almost flowing," Ma Yong said without any exaggeration.
Master Ma finally realized, "I finally understand why Old Man Zhou didn't want to come. This meal cost a lot of money!"
Song Yuehua greeted, "Just in time, everyone wash your hands and have dinner, I'll go next door to call the teacher."
The school had just ended, and Song Yuehua called the children of several families over.
Everyone sat down together and each filled a bowl with corn rice.
Xie Wenwu was afraid that there was not enough rice, so he cooked rice in two pots in the school.
For these laborers, three pots of rice are just enough.
Song Xiaocao whispered to Zhang Ruochu, "This is the first time I've eaten such a dry meal."
Zhang Ruochu smiled and said, "Me too."
Ma Hu's mouth was full of oil, and he said while chewing, "I have never eaten such delicious food in my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the forehead. Ma Ye cursed, "You are only embarrassing your father!"
As the boss, Ma Yong quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth and laughed, "Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed, it's my first time eating it too."
"Alas..." Master Ma sighed weakly.
Ma Long, who was standing by, picked up a chicken drumstick and put it in Ma Ye's bowl. "Grandpa, the master praised me today."
Master Ma asked happily, "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Ma Long said, "I have memorized all the words I learned before. If you don't believe me, ask the teacher."
"Believe it. How could I not believe Xiaolong's words?" said Master Ma with a smile.
Xie Wenwu sat next to Song Yuehua and said pretentiously, "Alas, Master, time is tight today. I am unable to do it. I can only do this..."
Song Yuehua ignored the words "I can't do it" and praised, "This is your first time preparing a banquet. You prepared three banquets at once and made it so sumptuous. You are really amazing. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Xie Wenwu's old face turned red, and he said modestly, "Mrs. Xia and Granny Wang have helped me a lot."
Zhou Xiaohu, who was standing opposite, saw this and couldn't help but admire Song Yuehua.
In front of her, Old Xie was as shy as a little girl, completely lacking his usual majestic and domineering aura.
Thinking about it this way, what Song Yuehua said to him during the day seemed to make sense.
Tang whispered to Zhang, "With this kind of food, I can grow potatoes every day."
Zhang pursed her lips and smiled and nodded, she also agreed.
Sitting next to the two people were Zhou Dafu’s wife, Lin, and Zhou Ergui’s wife, Zhang.
Lin is outgoing, while Zhang is more reserved, and the two sisters-in-law get along quite well with each other.
After Tang finished speaking, Lin also said, "Don't even mention planting potatoes. Even if you ask me to carry a large bag, I'd be happy to do it."
Although the Zhou family had fields and land, so having enough food was not a problem, they had never eaten in such an exaggerated way.
At most, I wouldn't be hungry. I would have a meal of dry rice every now and then, and occasionally an egg as a meat starter.
After the meal, everyone was full.
Before going home, Zhou Lizheng repeatedly told Song Yuehua not to prepare any meals tomorrow, and he also agreed with several other families that they should bring their own dry food when working tomorrow.
Song Yuehua said, "I won't cook tomorrow. I'll have someone send something to drink at noon."
It’s still necessary to drink some tea, Zhou Lizheng nodded in agreement.
It was not until noon the next day that Madam Xia brought two large buckets, one bucket of red bean paste white jade balls, and the other bucket of lean meat balls and vermicelli soup.
This was the first time Zhou Lizheng was speechless.
After receiving their bowls, they sat on the stalks of the field and ate their flatbreads with great relish.
Song Yuehua brought two bowls of meatball soup and handed one to Zhou Lizheng. "Everyone is so kind to me. Now I don't have much ability, so I can only make something delicious. Grandpa Zhou, you have to understand me!"
Zhou Lizheng sighed softly, took the soup, took a sip, and then the old man and the young boy sat on the ridge of the field and started eating.
It took a few days to plant all the potatoes.
On the way back, Zhou Dafu asked Song Yuehua, "Dongshantou is still a little far from the village. I'm afraid those people will dig in the fields without thinking. We can build a thatched hut nearby and stay there for a few days. When they see that the owner is there, they will be more cautious."
Song Yuehua frowned and asked, "Uncle Dafu, are you saying that someone will steal the vegetables?"
Zhou Dafu nodded.
If the family really couldn't make ends meet and just came over to dig some potatoes, Song Yuehua wouldn't care about it.
But if, like what you saw on the news in your previous life, groups of people came and destroyed the fruits of your hard work, or took them to the market to sell for money, this is definitely not acceptable.
It doesn't cost much to build a thatched hut, the main thing is who lives in it.
Mr. Duan?
This is not good. Master Duan should have had a two-month rest, but he ended up copying books and cutting potatoes again. He never had a break.
We can't target Master Duan anymore.
Build the house first, and then move in before the potatoes are ripe, and live there until the picking is over, and there will be no problem.
Song Yuehua said to Zhou Dafu, "Uncle Dafu, please help me mark out a piece of land nearby, build two mud brick houses, add a toilet, and enclose a yard. How much silver do you think it will cost?"
"Why not just build a thatched hut?" Zhou Dafu asked
Song Yuehua said, "Since it is a place where people will live, we should do it carefully so that others can see that it is real."
Zhou Dafu calculated, "The main cost is mud bricks and tiles. There are still a lot of mud bricks and tiles left from last time. Other things are available on the mountain. There is a tree in the northeast corner. I wanted to stay there to rest and cool off. Now that the area has been flattened, it will be enough to build two houses."
"If you want to add a toilet, it won't take much material. I'll use bamboo to make a circle for you. Two taels will be enough."
Song Yuehua nodded, and after returning home, she took out three taels of silver and said, "You need to prepare the land, prepare wood, and fence the yard, so I'll give you one more tael. Don't think it's too little."
Zhou Dafu smiled and said, "If I don't accept this 1 tael of silver, what do you want to say?"
"Then I'll go find Uncle Ergui." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Zhou Dafu accepted the money and laughed, "It doesn't matter who you find."
These 30 acres of land taught Song Yuehua a lesson.
Exchanging workers is feasible, but she has a total of 55 acres of land, and if she exchanges one end, she cannot exchange the other.
I originally thought that now that I had labor at home, I could finally farm. However, I miscalculated and the amount suddenly exceeded my ability.
The 25 acres of good land must be used to grow crops.
The school was digging a well these days and the weather was good. Song Yuehua was holding Xiaobao and cracking melon seeds at the gate.
After school, she stopped Zhang Rushan and asked, "I have 25 mu of good farmland here. I want to rent it out. It's 46 cents. Do you think your parents would want to rent it out?"
Zhang Rushan thought for a moment and said, "I still have to ask my parents what they think, but I think they will be willing."
When Zhang Rushan got home that day and finished his meal, he said calmly, "By the way, Yuehua asked if you want to rent her 25 mu of land at 46 points."
"What?" Tang's hand shaking as he held the plate, he asked hurriedly, "What did you just say?"
