Good Farming in Spring - C84 Warm Land in Forest Spring
When he thought about the teapot, Lin Chunnuan thought that he would need to use a good package for his secret seasoning, otherwise, he would not be able to sell it for a high price. When he thought about the secret seasoning, Lin Chunnuan thought that he would need to get more green prawns, otherwise, what would be used as the secret seasoning?
She was woken up by the sound of her voice, so she had to listen carefully. and the others had returned, Lin Chunnuan put on her shoes and quickly ran out of the house. When she saw that Minzi uncle and the others did not have any pockets, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
She was the one who had instructed Grandmother Qian not to see Liu Xu, otherwise it would reduce his effectiveness. From the looks of it, Minzi uncle and the others had indeed remembered what they had said in their hearts, it was indeed reliable.
“Minzi uncle, bean uncle, Uncle An Zi, nail-uncle, Uncle Second Fool, you guys are back. It’s pretty early.”
“That’s right, we’re back. Let’s go to the back and cut some grass before it gets too late.”
When Ming Zi and the others saw Zhang Liu cooking dinner, they knew that they were going to have quite a bit of money in the future. Thus, when they thought about how they had dragged this matter out for an entire day, more or less, they did it a little.
Hearing that Minzi uncle and the others were going to mow the grass, Lin Chunnuan immediately thought of what she had said to her mother earlier in the day.
“I’ll go with you guys and tell you which land to cut first. My mother agreed with the old elder that you guys can choose your own plot of land to open up here. Since you guys want to cut the grass, then cut the ground where we’re going to cut it, killing two birds with one stone.”
After saying that, Lin Chunnuan was about to follow Minzi uncle and the others out.
“Warm Spring, do you know where to go?”
Zhang Liu was a little worried about his daughter. She did not know if she could choose a good place to stay.
“No need for warm spring air, I know how to choose a place. A year ago, my second uncle went to Scarlet Peak Town with me, and I went to help him, but my second uncle told me that if you want to explore the wastelands, you should pay attention to what kind of land you want to cultivate. Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll help you choose a place.”
Bean acted like he knew how to act, but Mingzi was a little worried.
“Are you sure you can do it or not? If you don’t choose whether or not it will sprout, then it’ll be terrible.”
Mingzi’s words made Chun Tou grin.
It doesn’t matter, bean uncle, just pick whatever land you want, our family’s Feng Shui is good, didn’t you see that the grass is so thriving, it will definitely not be a problem to plant it. If you were to choose a suitable piece of land, it would only be better.
Lin Chunnuan didn’t feel that this place was hard to choose from, it wasn’t like she was choosing the western part of the village or the eastern part of the village, she just picked a plot of land from the back of Wangzhige’s house. If she picked a plot of land from the left side, what did it matter if she picked the right side?
“Warm Spring is the best. You know to believe my words, but none of you actually believe me. Hmph, when the time comes, I’ll choose a good land for all of you to see.”
Beans was not convinced that they were being looked down on. The group of people immediately left the yard and headed towards the grass fields. They were only twenty to thirty meters away from the yard.
“Since you said you would choose, then pick one for her. We’ll work as fast as we can, no matter how much we can do. If we cut one day earlier, then we’ll bask in it for the next.”
Mingzi was in a hurry to get to work, as the day’s work was going to be done.
If he said he didn’t want the day’s wages, but there were other brothers, he could hardly ask for it, but today he was delaying the day’s work because of his own mother, so Mingzi thought, it would be better to do more, to make up for a little bit more, but the brothers would not have to bother with a little work.
At first, Beans plucked a few stalks of grass from the ground and grabbed the soil that had been overturned. After carefully inspecting it, she walked a little further away and repeated this action again. Then she looked at the mountain a little further away and the sun was slightly down, making the crowd around her stare at her in shock.
The spring is warm, and the soil here is very good. Actually, the difference in the location is not too big, but the mountains here are clearly steeper, if there’s a strong wind, then it might be less exposed to the wind, and the soil here might receive more sunlight, making it more suitable for the growth of the crops.
The beans brought the spring warmth to another area, a little further away from the two he had pointed out, and a little farther from the house, but not too far away. The spring warmth was known; in modern times, there were many places rented by other families that were a dozen miles away from where they lived.
If you want to dig into the river, this piece of land is clearly better. If you want to dig into the river, then the surface of this land is relatively moist, and you should be able to quickly reach the water. If you want to connect with the canal, then the distance from here to the river is the shortest.
I have to say, Feng Shui is really good here, every field is good, but also have their own benefits. If only we can open them all up, then this land can grow rice, the sunny area can grow wheat, and the piece that is slightly blocked by the mountain can grow other grains.
When he went to help his second uncle open up the land, it was not such a good place. The soil was not as dark and fertile as this place, and grabbing a handful of it would only make one feel like dried up dregs. It did not feel like this was a very soft place at all.
“Then open it all up and come out. Is there a rule on how many places to open up in the village? Or according to the number of people, how many can be opened per person? ”
Hearing Beans’ unwillingness, Second Fool interjected at the side.
No, that’s not the case. The old Village Head just told my mother that we could open as many houses as we wanted, and for the first two years, we would be exempt from tax. The town advocates letting the village open more fields, but since everyone has enough land, they wouldn’t want to suffer this kind of hardship, so the old Village Chief probably thought that even if we open more land, no one will be able to work, which is why he said he wanted to open more land.
When Lin Chunnuan heard bean uncle say that this land was good, she was also a little reluctant. It was not easy to find a good land, but she had heard that many people would not be able to find a good place to cultivate, even after working for many years. If this land was really like what bean uncle had said, then she had picked up a treasure.
Lin Chunnuan was definitely a person who would not let go of any opportunity.
Minzi uncle, you guys can cut off this piece of grass. We will definitely use hay anyway, so don’t worry about which piece we cut off first.
Lin Chunnuan pointed to the wasteland in front of him.
“I’ll look for a few workers tomorrow and open up these fields. You guys can mow the grass and dig up the land while you’re at it, so you can catch up with me in time.”
It’s already May, if you don’t hurry up and dig out the land, it’s too late to grow anything else. You have to snatch out this land first, after all, there’s no more space to buy after passing this village. If we continue to ask the Old Village Head for land, the Old Village Head might not be able to give us this refreshingly.
Ming Zi glanced at Lin Chunnuan. Sometimes, he really wondered if this girl was really only eight years old, or if she was just a little girl. Just based on this kind of decision, if she was an adult, she might not be able to make it this fast.
“Fine, you can say that, but don’t hire any workers. We will help you out with the opening of the land. One of them is that you might not hire people that accurately, but this is opening the wasteland, not the temporary workers you hire to cultivate the fields. If you get killed, don’t mention the money, what if they don’t work properly?”
When he thought about how Lin Chunnuan’s whole family did not have a single family to support, and how she was only eleven years old, Ming Zi was truly worried about the warmth of spring to hire workers. If the workers were a little better, he would normally have to work for you for five to ten years, or even longer.
They were hired over here, worked for the spring, and then ran off. In the autumn, you might not hire them again, so it is irresponsible to hire a lot of workers, and Lin Chunnuan’s family obviously did not have the ability to look into their tricks afterwards.
“Are you serious?”
Lin Chunnuan never thought that the Minzi uncle would be able to accept this job. It must be known that farming was much more difficult than building a house, especially in the wild. That was definitely hard work, or else the villagers would not even be willing to open their own land.
“Of course, how about I play with you?”
Although Mingzi was a free man in the town, he was still a man of his word. Even the people in the town knew that Mingzi would never go back on his word.
“aconitine, we still need to build a house, so the house will be delayed. If we take up this job, we will have to go into the wasteland first, or else we won’t even be able to catch the tail of the season, it’s already a bit late. The farmers said that when the time comes, we won’t be able to get any good harvest even if we miss a day or two.”
Lin Chunnuan didn’t wait for Ming Zi to reply and quickly expressed it.
“We are not in a hurry to get a house. It’s not like we don’t have a place to stay right now, but we’ll have to trouble our uncles to stay in the thatched cottage for a while longer.”
It was not a big deal to live in a thatched cottage in the middle of the summer. While they were fooling around outside, they slept in the open. Ming Zi agreed on behalf of their brothers.
“Having a room to sleep in is already good enough. Moreover, it was built so well, so they won’t pick it out.”
“Yeah, yeah, we won’t choose. It’s already very happy to have a place to stay.”
Ming Zi said that he wanted to take over this job, then everyone would naturally agree. Amongst the five of them, Ming Zi was the one who had been making the decisions the entire time, so if he said that he wanted to do it, it would definitely be beneficial to everyone.
“Warm Spring, this way, your employer will have to hire us for a few more months. It looks like we’ll be able to eat this half a year with you, and we’ll be happy to stay in one place to avoid running around looking for work. Let’s not talk about trouble, there might not be anyone willing to hire us.”
“Therefore, I have to consider your family on one hand, and ourselves on the other.”
Ming Zi was also afraid that his brothers would have any thoughts, so he explained it very clearly because he felt that he was acting on his own. These words were meant for Chun Wen, and also for his brothers.
“Since your family has work for us to do, we might as well obediently stay here and do the work for this season. Your wages are not low, and your food is also good. I think, they also want to do it here, right, brothers?”
Mingzi turned around to ask the other brothers, and they all agreed in unison. It didn’t matter if Mingzi secretly wanted to help warm the family, what he said was the truth.
