Chapter 030: Grabbing land to open up wasteland

Huang Wu nodded with a smile: "The Qin family is really stupid. They don't even understand this bit of human sophistication, and this good luck has been wasted!"

She looked at Village Chief Huang: "I'll ask Niang Xia and the others to boil water. You and I can wash up well. We can't go to see the head of the village dirty." . "

Village Chief Huang nodded: "Go and arrange it... wash those two wild boar cubs too. The smell is too strong, and the village chief's family may be disgusted. "

Village Chief Huang and his wife. It was Mou who was trying hard to become the village chief and become the most distinguished person in the ghost village, while Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and his family got together to share the money.

"Our two wild boars were sold for nine taels of silver, and they are all here." Grandpa Qin took out the silver and said, "What I mean is that Xiaomi, Dalang, and the sixth wife risked their lives to stab the pig's nest. Seven taels are divided, and the remaining two taels of silver are divided equally among the people who helped with the wild boar meat.”

It would be unfair to Xiaomi and Dalang if the family should share one tael of silver.

Qin Cunquan said hurriedly: "Fifth Uncle, we have already eaten meat for free, so my family doesn't want any money."

Qin Dashi and Xu Erjun also said: "We don't want it either, as long as we can eat meat. Very good.”

Grandpa Qin. Said: "We have just settled down, and there are too many places where we need to spend money. Everyone needs to have some money in their hands. And the wild boar meat has not been taken away. Everyone has contributed. Since they have contributed, it should be Don’t refuse to share the money, just divide it like this.”

Jiang Dalang glanced at Qin Xiaomi and said, "Let's divide it like this."

Everyone in this village and outside the village are unruly people. It is necessary to let several families continue to unite. When something happens, they can be brought together to deal with the outside world. .

Qin Cunquan and the others were silent for a moment, and finally took the money.

Jiang Dalang gave Qin Xiaomi the more than one tael of silver he had received: "Xiaomi, you can hide it."

"I only hide my own private money. "Hide it." Qin Xiaomi thought he was sick and ignored him, calling Aunt Qin: "Sister-in-law, I have bought some needlework and fabrics. Come and see if they are right."

Aunt Qin hurried over, rubbed the thread on her hands for a while, and quickly split a thread into six small silk threads with her fingers flying.

Qin Xiaomi praised her very much: "My sister-in-law's embroidery skills are really good, even this inferior thread can split six silk threads." Embroidery thread, even if the great embroidery masters from the Great Sheng Dynasty came, could not split it into six pieces... because the inferior thread is not tough enough and will break if you cut it.

Sister-in-law Qin smiled: "My sister-in-law only has this little skill, but the dyed thread is too expensive."

A bundle of red thread costs one hundred cents, which is more expensive than pure dyed thread. Cotton is expensive.

Qin Xiaomi said: "Little sister, don't worry about the color thread. I'll get it for you after a while. I'll get so many of them that it won't be a problem for my little sister to embroider a hundred-color pattern."

Qin Xiaomi came over. Joining in the fun: "Sister Xiaomi, what does the Baise Tu look like? When I grow up, I have only seen white, black, gray, yellow, blue, green, and red."

The little guy has never even seen purple.

Qin Xiaomi pinched his cheek: "You will know when my sister-in-law embroiders it."

The Wei Dynasty lacked color, and the clothes were all dusty, but this gave her a way to make money The only way is that the season is wrong now, so we have to wait a little longer to make the Baise Picture.

Aunt Qin smiled, put away the red embroidery thread, picked up the colorless thread, and made coarse cloth for the family: "Xiaomi, Xiaogu, help my sister unpack the cotton-padded jackets."

The weather is starting to get warmer, and the cotton-padded jackets can no longer be worn. But my family was poor and couldn't afford much cloth, so I took apart the cotton-padded jacket, dried the cotton and stored it, and changed the outside cloth into spring clothes.

"Okay." Qin Xiaomi and the others were busy.

Grandpa Qin pulled usable tools to use as farm tools and said to the big guys: "It's April now. We have to open up wasteland quickly. If we open up faster, we can still plant spring wheat. If not, we can plant spring wheat." We can only grow soybeans."

Qin Liupo heard the word soybeans and wanted to fart: "How about we go to the wild boar nest tomorrow to catch them. Wild boars, right? If we catch two more, we won't have to worry about our food rations for the first half of the year... I really don't want to eat soybeans anymore. We can't grow much wheat in the newly opened land, so it's more cost-effective to catch wild boars." "Old lady. "What you said speaks to my heart." Qin Laoliu was very excited and said to Grandpa Qin: "Fifth brother, let's continue to catch pigs."

Grandpa Qin glared at him: "We are farmers, and farming is the foundation. And those wild boars must have gone to the mountains long ago and will not return to the pig nest. You can farm the land with your heart."

"Sure, I will go to open up wasteland with my fifth brother tomorrow." Qin Laoliu said, but what he was planning in his heart was that he and his eldest son Aying would go to open up wasteland, and let Qin Liupo and his second son Ajie Go to the pig den to catch pigs, so that his family can make money from both.

At night, when he was sleeping, he told Qin Liupo about this plan, and Qin Liupo praised him: "Hey dad, you are still smart, let's do this!"

How dare they dream.

And there are many people who daydream like this.

The next day, before dawn, a large number of Huang family members went into the mountains with sticks, straw ropes and large nets to catch wild boars.

"Those wild boars must have returned to the pig nest. Let's catch them and sell them for more than ten taels of silver, so that Qin Chai and Zhang San's family can see how powerful our Huang family is!" Huang Xiaozhuang said, and went to the west of the village. Direction spat.

Seeing this, other victims in the village also followed the Huang family into the mountains.

The Huang family was very angry: "Those plagued things are following us, let's leave quickly, don't let them get the first step!"

The Huang family hurriedly ran to grab the wild boar from the pig nest.

......

Grandpa Qin also got up before dawn and took Qin Laoliu and his son, Qin Dashi, and Xu Erjun to visit near the west of the village. Qin Xiaomi followed. When Jiang Dalang saw this, He also hurriedly followed.

Grandpa Qin couldn't stop laughing, and said to himself: Boss, our Xiaomi is lucky to have a fiancé who loves her so much.

After arriving at the southwest of the village, Grandpa Qin dug the soil with a hoe and checked the soil quality... The soil here is not soft or hard, the soil is still yellow-gray, which is very suitable for farming. He shouted with joy: "Millet , this land is good, hurry up and plant it with a straw man.”

Inserting a straw man proves that the land has an owner, and other people will not be able to open up wasteland again.

“Hey.” Qin Xiaomi inserted the straw man into the ground.

But she was not satisfied with the land: "Grandpa, if we walk around again, we might find black soil. The black soil is the most fertile and is the most suitable for farming and can increase production."

The modern Northeast is a black land and a big granary.

Grandpa Qin frowned and said, "Which book did you read this from? In our Zhongyuan Prefecture, the best land is this moist yellow gray soil."

Zhongyuan Prefecture is short of water, let alone yellow and gray soil. As long as the land is not short of water, it is considered to be good land, so Grandpa Qin feels that there is no need to look for black land.

Qin Xiaomi: "I saw it in the book left by my second uncle. It is a sage's book, we have to believe it!"

When the second uncle Qin's rebellious son was mentioned, Grandpa Qin's expression turned a little It doesn’t look good, but: “Okay, let’s walk again, See if there is any black soil... But it is best to occupy the wasteland near the west of the village. It is close. If someone destroys the crops in the field, we can rush there as soon as possible to beat them up."

The crops are destroyed. Things like this often happen, so they have to be on guard.

"Hey, I understand, grandpa." Qin Xiaomi responded, carrying the little straw man, checking the soil quality from the southwest of the village to the west of the village near the back mountain, and finally found a piece of black soil.

"Grandpa, there is black soil here, our family wants this piece of land!" Qin Xiaomi was very happy and hurriedly inserted the little straw man into the ground.

Jiang Dalang was heartbroken when he saw it...Susu, I will become famous as soon as possible and give you all the good things in the world. I will not let you be happy just because you grabbed a piece of wasteland.
