Chapter 63 63. Overage Rice Field Steward
After one meal, Zhang Yanping could no longer move his buttocks.
However, it is impossible to work hard. Don’t suffer like this in this life. He decided to stay firmly rooted on the stool, even if his aunt disliked it.
As the bottom of the food chain, Song Sancheng did not dare to say anything after eating, but actively and diligently cleared away the dishes.
Since Wu Lan knew that tea could be sold for ten thousand and ten catties, he threw away his rice bowl and went straight up the mountain with the basket! More positive than anyone else.
What's the use of being angry with a man? Making money is the most important thing!
And Song Tan announced:
"Brother Yan Ping, you and Qiao Qiao can go digging a vegetable garden in the afternoon!"
Before digging a vegetable field, you need to turn over the soil first. , and then break up. Although the place is not big, it is still a meticulous job. This was the first time Qiao Qiao took on such a serious task, and she took it very seriously.
Originally, the vegetable garden at home had already been dug last night, but the grandparents said that they would not be short of vegetables after planting the land anyway, so they might as well free up another adjacent vegetable plot for Song Tan.
That piece hasn't been dug yet.
Just right, let Zhang Yanping adapt to it.
Song Tan went to take a look at the cabbage seeds soaked at noon, and secretly added some spiritual energy to it. Now, after half a day, slight buds have swelled.
She planned to plant them all this evening.
The vegetable garden is not big, and the total area is only about three-thirds of the land, almost two hundred square meters.
But if you plant cabbage, which can produce four thousand kilograms per mu if you sow it casually, the normal yield of this piece of land can be one thousand two hundred kilograms.
If there is another spiritual energy bonus...
Song Tan mentally settled the score and couldn't wait at this moment.
She had a good idea, but Zhang Yanping didn’t lift his butt:
“I won’t go.” Apparently he was very insistent.
"If you don't go, there will be no food to eat tonight."
"Then I won't go either." Zhang Yanping chuckled: "Tan Tan, you are still young and don't know the persistence of adults. My aunt will never go hungry. Mine."
Song Tan also smiled meaningfully: "Brother Yanping, I won't starve you, but that doesn't mean you can eat something different from us. , then just show off here."
Zhang Yanping's heart skipped a beat.
But a grown man, how could he just admit defeat like this?
He said stubbornly: "Impossible, you are so busy, how can you still have time to cook two meals?"
Song Tan smiled and said nothing.
But before that, a piece of the field must be plowed. Rice needs to be intensively bred first and then transplanted.
There are also some vegetable seedlings that need to be cultivated.
Song Tan brought the tools to Qiao Qiao: "Good boy, dig your grandparents' vegetable garden carefully. Once it's done, we will plant vegetables in the evening."
"Aren't you going to grow corn?"
Qiao Qiao obviously didn't like Song Tan's way of growing vegetables.
"It's just that it's not the time yet. When the time comes, can you set aside a separate field for us, Qiao Qiao, to grow corn?"
Qiao Qiao was now satisfied. .
Zhang Yanping couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at his simple stupidity.
Song Tan walked to the field and looked at the old cow lying leisurely in the field with a few birds standing on it. He couldn't help but smile:
"Grandpa Li!"
< br>"Hey!" A man sat up on the field ridge, it was the owner of this old scalper.
"Grandpa Li, is the milkvetch in my field delicious?"
Wrinkles appeared on Old Man Li's face: "Okay! It's very good, better than stewed meat." Fragrant. I cut a basket every day.”
Song Tan took the initiative to bring up this matter.
Old man Li had suffered a lot in his youth and was not picky about what he ate. Although these two fields had been eaten by cows, he found some corners that were still crisp and tender.
I just tasted it once. I have to carry a basket here every day when grazing cattle. It tastes good in my mouth and I feel like I have hope for the future.
Looking at Song Tan now, I just feel that this girl is good at everything. As expected of a college student, he is better at farming than them.
“Tan Tan, what brings you here?”
Song Tan pointed out two pieces of land adjacent to the paddy fields and dry fields: "Grandpa Li, it's time to cultivate rice seeds these days. Please plow them over the next two days and make them more detailed."
"On the dry land above, I plan to raise some vegetable seedlings, and I have to be more careful."
Old man Li has been doing plowing for half his life, and now he doesn't even have to think about it. Respond directly:
“Don’t worry, I know what you want, and I will definitely get it for you.”
Then he pointed to the corner of the field:
"That piece is leeward, the sun is good, and it is next to the ditch. I just need to turn that piece up and down to make it thinner."
Looking at the bright sun again, the old man naturally has a lot of experience to talk about:
"Tell your dad to take the time to make more straw curtains. The weather is like this morning and night, and you have to cover it."< br>
“I think the chestnuts on the mountain will bloom in a while, right? Don’t just ignore the chestnuts, the black fungus underneath should be able to breathe.”
The workload has increased again - Song Tan's scalp is really numb.
If this place was deserted, she could still use some tricks, but now there are so many people in the village, and the fields and mountains are under their noses, so everything can only happen slowly.
However, looking at Old Man Li's still unfinished expression, Song Tan's heart moved and he suddenly asked:
"Grandpa Li, why don't you help me take care of the seedlings first? Look back two days later I’ll also take care of a paddy field for you.”
“I won’t say whether to pay or not. Anyway, I’ll cover all the rice, flour, rapeseed, and meat for you. Do you think that’s okay?”
The old man also has great wisdom. I saw Old Man Li smiling and saying:
"If you don't dislike me for being old and unable to work, you can cut twenty kilograms of your pork for me by the end of the year!"
< br>Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry.
"A family with an old man is like a treasure. Grandpa Li, you are much more capable than us young people."
Don't look at the old man in the village who seems to be in low energy every day and staggers when walking. Let them go to the ground and they will do it faster than anyone else.
That pair of ruthless iron hands can rival many young men in just talking about pulling grass.
If nothing else, Old Man Li is very experienced in growing rice. After all, he has been growing this for the first half of his life. Now he spoke properly:
"Don't worry, I promise to keep it well for you."
Now that he has the responsibility, he is willing to say more: "By the way, Tan Tan, take the time to clean up the pond above you. There are too many aquatic plants, so raise more grass carp.”
Grass carp eats grass very aggressively, so it is suitable for that kind of environment.
"I think the water quality in the pond is good. If you take the time to get some crucian carp fry in and raise them well, it will also be an income."
Song Tan also has this plan.
"Grandpa Li, I plan to wait until the rice fields are drained of water before releasing fish fry. Otherwise, they will all follow the canals to the fields."
It's not that she doesn't want to raise fish in the rice fields. The main reason is that the group of ducks on the mountain can also go into the fields to eat grass, and we can make a time difference later.
However, Old Man Li said:
"What are you afraid of? The fish has entered the rice fields, which are more beneficial than ducks. They will also feed you with insects and grass to fertilize the fields. They talk about those rice fish on TV, and they can be sold more expensively."
"Big deal You can put out more fish fry then, and I’ll keep an eye on the rice fields for you.”
Today there are still thousands of fish, five updates! Monthly pass, Modo!
Thank you for your support!
Yesterday’s first order results were great. Thank you for your support! There is a recommendation event today. I hope everyone can add this book to your reading list.
Thanks.
Currently, I owe "Lu Xiaowen" 10,000 days for guessing the bumble bee, and I also owe 10,000 days for an unpopular plant provided by "Ming Ming I'm Handsome" in the comment area.
Let’s arrange it at the end of the month. I have learned a lot during this time, and we have a clear path.
