The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1338 [1337] The story of the buried female farming 65 (6000)

As soon as Bai He came back, the marriage of the brother and sister was put on the agenda.

Needless to say, Xiangzi, because he knew he was going to get married sooner or later, the houses in the city had already been demolished and rebuilt as small two-storey buildings with high gates and walls, providing a strong sense of privacy. Grape arbors and fruit trees were also planted in the yard. , looks much nicer and cleaner than before.

There is still such a big house in Chenjia Village outside the city, and the [-] mu of land is also under his name. Although it is not his, Baihe has already gone to Fuzhou to work hard, so the house and the house are basically It is no different from giving it to Xiangzi.

Lu Escort's daughter liked Wei Ying in the early years. Later, Xiangzi had some contacts with the Escort on agricultural products, and they got to know each other more. Right now, the marriage was settled like this, but the most important sister didn't come back, so they didn't get married directly.

Needless to say, Xiaomang, the godmother and Xiaomang bought a house in the city with the money they earned in these years, and Xiangzi also gave a full set of furniture and furnishing. Some houses will be able to get married directly in the house in the future.

As for the things used for the wedding, the godmother has been tossing about them back and forth in the past two years. Xiangzi has no mother, and her sister is not at home, so the godmother also has full authority to help deal with it, which saves Bai He a lot of trouble.

It is no exaggeration to say that after she went to meet her parents, the wedding date was fixed immediately, because everything was ready, except for the ceremony, and she didn't rush at all.

Both of their weddings were scheduled for August [-]th. Bai He gave her younger sister and sister-in-law valuable pearl necklaces and exotic jewelry, and gave Xiaomang and Xiangzi two very high-quality jewelry. A nice saber, and even sent foreign wine to Lu Biaotou's family. The money was very generous, and he won the hearts of his in-laws in one fell swoop.

As for the godmother, there is no need to be polite. Originally, Xiaomang is his younger brother and apprentice. With this relationship, he is not afraid that he will treat Liu'er badly.

As soon as the brothers and sisters’ life-long events are finished, the vegetation here has sprouted and grown up. With her making the spring water for a few days, I don’t have to worry about whether they can’t keep them alive. However, it takes time to plant a large area. .

Her farming diary recorded very clearly, plus she took the brothers to give explanations from time to time, basically explaining clearly all the problems that may occur after leaving.

Time entered September, and Bai He began to pack her bags to leave. This time, she had to take two more people to leave together, so the original one horse was changed to a two-horse carriage. Afterwards, under the reluctant eyes of relatives sent out of town.

"Father, don't be reluctant to drink the wine I brought back for you. After drinking it, the wine brewed in the mountains is buried next to the bamboo forest in our backyard. You have to take good care of yourself. When we have good news , will find a way to notify you as soon as possible.”

Wei Cheng waved his hand at her with red eyes: "Didn't you leave a road map, if I really miss you, I will go to find you, hurry up, it will be cold if you don't leave."

Bai He's eyes were stingy, and she slowly turned around and got into the carriage. When the person who saw her off was only as big as a small ant, she calmed down and drove up the pipeline. Yu Sheng was sitting next to her, excited Look at this, ask that, there is no pain and pain of parting, but I am very excited to go out.

Including the godmother, who opened the curtain and looked around, obviously full of expectations for the future.

There were two more people, and they definitely didn't rush as fast when they came back alone. They just stopped and went, and arrived at the small fishing village where they lived at the end of the twelfth lunar month.

The time for reselling was saved in the middle, but it also saved time, and I came to Sister-in-law Guang's house before the New Year.

When Sister-in-law Guang heard the sound, came out with the baby in her arms, and saw her mother-in-law get off the car, she was also very excited.

"Mother, you are here, oh, this is really great, come on, tiger, call grandma, this is your grandma."

Then comes the touching moment of reunion between grandparents and grandchildren. Baihe and sister-in-law Guang drive the carriage to the yard, while Yusheng looks at the distant sea with longing.

"San'er, don't worry, my sister will take you to the beach tomorrow morning, now you should have a good rest."

Looking around, seeing only the clothes of their father and son in the yard, he couldn't help but ask, "Are they going to sea?"

"Well, you left here and they left too. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it back a year ago. It's almost spring."

Bai He sighed, "Another year has passed, this time really has not passed."

Bai He looked very excited at the sweet potatoes planted in the yard, "Is this the second crop?"

"No, it's the second crop. Look at how well it grows. I'll follow the method you taught me. I'll plant one piece in the oblique method and the horizontal method. After harvesting, I'll plant the vine seedlings again. Don't say, The yield is really high. Look at the potatoes. There are big and small bunches of them. Our tigers like to eat them. In the second season, I didn’t grow anything in my yard, but I planted these two crops. gone."

There is also land by the sea. While growing vegetables and land, fishermen can also take care of fishing and drying nets. They are not rich, but they are not hungry either.

"When spring starts next year, I will go to the government officials in the state government to spread this crop and let everyone plant it together."

She has passed such good things to her hometown, and the joint development of the north and the south will have better results.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is spring. The long-awaited Wei Ying and Guangzi finally came back together. During this period, Bai He bought a house again and carried out systematic renovations. The two houses are not too far apart, but Bai He The house is bigger. From buying a house to decorating and making furniture, it cost a total of four taels of silver.

After the godmother came, it was crowded with just my sister-in-law living there, and with the addition of my half-child Yusheng, Bai He simply bought another house. The method is to plant as many sweet potatoes as possible. This is a tropical place with indistinct seasons. When they are mature, just dig them out and replant them.

Wei Yingfeng came back dusty, and was very happy to see his new house and his charming wife. He hugged her around two or three times before he was reluctant to let her go.

During this visit, they earned more than 1000 taels of silver, which was better than expected, but they did not bring back the money, only the goods.

He hurriedly had a meal with Bai He, and then Guangzi rode his horse to the port to unload the goods. There was no need for them to sell the goods alone, and the merchants came to pull the goods.

It took about three to five days for this batch of goods to be released. After one return, a total of 600 taels of silver was earned. According to the investment ratio, Wei won 300 taels, and Photon received 300 taels. It doesn’t sound like much. But right now, when one tael of silver can be spent for more than half a year, 300 taels is quite a lot.

Besides, if it weren't for the support of Wei Ying and his wife, Guangzi and his wife would not have been able to come out to see the world. I think they were still running back and forth for a job of 300 yuan a month, earning [-] taels of silver a year. Work, only three or four taels of silver a year, the difference between this is huge.

Moreover, doing business itself involves a lot of investment and a high rate of return.

They plan to stay at home for a month before setting off again.

Bai He has already taught San'er how to ride a horse, and found him a relatively famous local academy. He has a good background, and after passing the assessment, he has already worshiped the teacher.

Their family is not short of money, so the road of San'er's study will be very smooth, and he has just come here, and he has to be familiar with the dialect. The early study will be very difficult, but study is just like work, it is very hard. Tired, but you have to persevere, otherwise nothing will be accomplished.

One week after Wei Ying came back, San'er was sent to school by Wei Ying, and then the couple played poker at home shamelessly all day long, getting very tired.

"It's a good thing you bought the house, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let go!"

"Bah, without you, I'm almost exhausted,"

"Work hard, maybe I will be pregnant someday, but you really won't come with me next month? Without you by my side, you don't know how lonely I am!"

"You're done, isn't it over? I still want to cultivate these potatoes and sweet potatoes, and then present them to the court. These are high-yield crops that can save the people of the Li people from famine. They are more important than making money. You men are working hard outside. It’s not what I should. I’ll wait for the situation to stabilize before running with you. We don’t ask for more, right? Just one 2000 taels of silver a year is already pretty good. I’m very satisfied. Don’t give yourself too much Pressure. Isn’t this how business grows gradually?”

The family has already told the men. Photon didn't show much sadness about his father's sudden death. Maybe this man has broken the hearts of his family long ago?The younger brother and Bai He's younger sister got married, and they were very happy. This shortened the distance between the two families in a real sense, and became a real in-law relationship. All things considered, they are no different from real relatives.

Bai He also said to Wei Ying: "I've already told Dad and drawn a road map, as long as he wants, he can come to us."

"He's in good health now. When my side stabilizes, I'll go home and pick him up. It's fine. You don't have to worry about it. My father has long been used to it. Have you stayed for several years? Now that Xiangzi and his brothers are taking care of you, why are you worried?"

After hearing about the family affairs, Wei Ying gave her the greatest support.

Including this month's rest time, as long as she wants to do something, he will help.

Baihe also brought back a lot of fruit trees from Luzon Island, but she couldn't say that she harvested them from there, she just said they dug them in the mountains.

The beginning of spring is suitable for planting fruit trees, so she planted a mango, a local lychee and a fig tree. These three trees were planted in three corners of the house, and the toilet was arranged in the remaining corner.

She planted a few local vines in front of the house, which will shade her in the hot summer in a few years, so she asked someone to make a stone table and bench between the two rows of vines, and paved the middle A cobblestone road.

The small courtyard is being arranged in her ideal state. Another feature of this high price is that there is a well. The well is located on the left side of the entrance, and it is very convenient to fetch water. It is about two kilometers away from the sea. Sanlidi can be regarded as a fishing village farm house with good conditions.

The terrain is also relatively high. The houses in the fishing village are relatively high. Basically, they live on hillsides or hills, keeping a certain distance from the sea level. There are also many small ports, coastlines, and various warning signs built in the village, because There are many reefs on the seashore, and it also involves many problems such as high tide and low tide, wind and waves, so all the houses in fishing villages will have high windshield walls. This is also to keep the house warm and prevent the wind from blowing off the roof. Wait for the danger to occur.

People on the seaside seldom buy salt. Before the Song Dynasty, the production of sea salt was all out of decoction.

Sea salt is to scrape the soil and drench the brine, and take the brine and burn the firewood to boil the salt.

The method and utensils of sea salt pan frying have undergone the replacement of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there is no obvious difference.

Decocting salt consumes a lot of firewood and is labor-intensive.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, sea salt has been sun-dried. Due to technical reasons, the effect is not very good, so there are still more fried salt than sun-dried salt.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of the sea salt production areas switched to the method of sun drying, and the technology gradually improved.

Those burning pots and frying salt equipment erected along the coastline for thousands of years have naturally become relics of history.

So it's not surprising that Baihe saw them frying salt here.

Boiled sea salt is bitter and astringent, so it is not suitable for consumption, because it is coarse salt, which is mixed with many other things, such as stones, substances that are incompatible with sediment, so it must be purified before eating, because the coarse salt at this time There are many harmful substances in salt.

So add plant ash to the returned seawater and filter it several times, and what you get is a bit dark sea salt, which is not good in appearance, but there are no impurities.

And this method is also the most convenient and quick.

Of course, the impurities in the salt water can also be removed by drying the salt, but if you want to achieve the purity of the table salt in the future, it is almost impossible in the current environment.

In the process of repeated refining of Baihe, I also tried to add Lingquan water and boil it with coarse sea salt until it melted, then filter it again with gauze, put the filtered water into the pot, and boil the water dry. It becomes sea salt with a slightly better purity. Take it out and put it in the mill for further processing, and the particles will become extremely fine.

This extraction method is suitable for extraction of mineral salt and other types of salt. Sea salt contains a variety of harmful substances, which are not so easy to remove. Even with sun-dried salt, it is difficult to completely remove it, so she uses Lingquan water to filter , You can’t say that the effect is not good, you can only say that it is much better than ordinary water filtration.

At least it has met the conditions for the entrance, but this method is also a waste of firewood, and she only spends so much time and energy cooking salt when she is really bored.

In fact, she seldom adds salt to the seafood obtained from the sea. She eats them directly in the pan, or bakes them with salt. The freshness of the food can be maximized and it is very delicious.

A month later, Wei Ying took the money he earned this time, and the previous 5000 taels, to purchase another batch of goods. After that, he chose a relatively reliable route and set off again, running more times. Now He knew some local language, so it was no longer so easy to deceive him.

Bai He also made a lot of medicine for him to take with him, and the two brothers left home reluctantly.

The godmother now stays at home with her baby to tend the vegetable garden, and her sister-in-law drives the family’s carriage to and from the port every day to earn money. She stays at home and cooks some delicacies, and asks her sister-in-law to bring them to the port to help sell them. The rest of the time is spent doing handicrafts and embroidery. Work, because the Chinese knots and embroidery she made are very easy to sell over there, so she saved them up for Wei Ying to bring back and sell them.

She also repaired the loom, used the cotton planted in the space, and dyed some colored plants to make rough bedding items, such as bed sheets and quilt covers, which are also sold well there.

Moreover, Baihe is still making some pearl jewelry, pearl cream, pearl powder and other cosmetics by going to the sea to touch pearls. She doesn't need to sell them at the port here, she just needs to save them up and use them in Weiying next time. When you leave, just let him take it over there and sell it.

In addition to this, there are ancient lipsticks, lipsticks, rouge, face creams, etc. With the identity of a mermaid, she can also use seaweed and sea mud to make masks. In short, as long as you dare to think, do, and experiment, you don’t need Worry about not making money.

But the surprise was that in the next month after Wei Ying left, her aunt who was always punctual did not visit, which surprised her. When she took her own pulse, her breath was unstable, and she was always unstable, so she followed her sister-in-law into the city , I found the doctor, but I didn't expect the good news to come like this.

pregnant?

The sister-in-law hugged her tightly happily: "Oh my god, this is great, you don't know how much I have worried about you these years, and now I am pregnant, which is great news!"

"Don't just talk about me, you haven't come this month, will you also..."

Sister-in-law Guang was stunned when she heard it, and hurried over to ask the doctor to show her too, and it turned out!
It's really double happiness, sister-in-law Guang is pregnant again.

When the two went home and told the godmother the good news, the godmother was also very happy, and in the evening, she taught them both the precautions for the future.

The child in this life came a bit late, especially since she was in her twenties. Although she didn't listen, she knew how many people were talking behind her back.

"Liangtian, what's going on here? My health is healed? Didn't I have been severely injured? Didn't I not be able to conceive? Why..."

"It also plays a big role in reconciling with mentality and space. If you relax your mentality and make daily adjustments in place, nothing is impossible, but you have to be careful to protect this child every day. Even if you are pregnant, you can't do it until the end." Give up lightly, wait until your fetal image is stable, and then go out to sea, I detected that there is also a sunken ship near here."

Bai He was shocked again, "Near here? Can't it? If there is, these fishermen must not discover it. How could it be my turn!"

Liangtian didn't reply to her, and she didn't care. She stroked her lower abdomen and seemed to cherish it very much. Of course, after having a child, she also took the initiative to reduce her workload, and caught a few chickens and ducks and began to feed them in the yard.

Sister-in-law Guang’s sweet potatoes have been harvested for two seasons. After this harvest, some were sent to her. She collected all the small potatoes and separated them from the middle, and buried them in the ground to wait for them to germinate. The sweet potatoes were harvested by cuttings The method is growing very well now, and the leaves are especially lush. She basically picks sweet potato leaves for cooking every day.

I didn't dare to think about this before, because it needed to be carried out secretly, and I didn't dare to say the origin of this thing. After a few years, it can be eaten openly, which is really not easy.

However, when the pregnancy period came, Bai He found that the child didn't care about her mother at all, which caused her to experience frequent morning sickness, almost turning around to vomit when she smelled the fishy smell by the sea, causing her to never contaminated with seafood.

On the contrary, the food in my hometown is not uncomfortable to eat, and I dare not eat too much fruit. I am afraid of gestational diabetes, because the sugar content of fruit is too high, so I need to restrain myself. Eating fruit once a day or two is enough to ensure the decomposition of nutrients.

My sister-in-law’s hen can lay five or six eggs a day, and there are two goose eggs. Every time I send her two eggs and one goose egg, the goose eggs are said to be able to remove fetal poison. Pregnant women eat them well. My sister-in-law used to use them The housekeeper didn't expect that this pregnancy would give the two pregnant women enough nutrition.

She never refuses what my sister-in-law gives her. Of course, she will not let them lose money. Occasionally, she will send some sesame paste, sesame oil, peanut butter, peanut oil, fresh fruit, white noodles and other foods. , are actually reprocessed with crops produced in space.

Now they have two horses in their family. She feeds them with forage and crop stalks from the space. Sister-in-law Guang goes out to look for grass every day. If the weather is bad, she uses sweet potato seedlings instead. The extra horses have been sold by sister-in-law Guang. If there are too many horses, it is not easy to raise, including the one that fed the child before, and she sold it to someone who has no milk.

Although the life in the fishing village is monotonous, the seaside scenery is picturesque and beautiful.

Yu Sheng will come back to rest for two days in about half a month, and then he will return to the college to continue his studies. Every time he goes home, Bai He will let him relax to the fullest, and sometimes take him to collect seaweed and turtle feet on the reefs by the sea, or Pick up some shellfish conch when the tide is high and low tide, and then bring it home to make him a spicy and delicious hoisin sauce.

Yusheng eats three meals a day at school. He just came here, so it is inevitable that he is not used to it, so every time he goes to school, she will make him some sauces and pickles that can be preserved for a long time. Taste, can barely make do with some days.

In addition to these, there are baked biscuits, potato chips, snacks, stone cakes, and other hunger-resistant snacks.

These snacks are not only liked by himself, but also by his classmates, who occasionally let him bring some over and rush to buy them.

However, in order to maintain this kind of classmate friendship, and also want him to integrate into the collective life faster when he is a newcomer, so almost every time he is given away for free.

Originally, the children did not understand the local dialect very well, and it was difficult for them to learn. If they did business in schools, they would inevitably be put on small shoes.

So she would tell Yu Sheng to give free gifts to the classmates he thought were friendly to her, and prepare the teacher's share separately, of course, the value is also higher.

Bai He has always been confident in her craftsmanship, so the things she can give away are naturally extraordinary.

　When I have time tonight, I will update another chapter.
