Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space
Chapter 41 Buying Herb Seeds
The village chief sent over the land deed with the official seal, pointed to his two sons and said: "Brother, I asked Yuanping and Yuancheng to come and help."
Father Lu was a little surprised. It was a busy farming season and every household was rushing to harvest food. Why did the village chief call his two sons over?
"Lihua, you are...this is too polite!"
The village chief waved his hand: "Don't be polite to me. If more people work, the construction will be faster."
"So your family is short of manpower for rice harvesting?" asked Father Lu.
"Don't worry, we collected almost everything in the past two days, and there isn't much left in the field now. It won't be a problem." The village chief chatted with Father Lu for a few words, and then hurried away alone.
"Uncle, you have to take care of our lunch!" Lu Yuancheng said with a smile.
Of course, Father Lu agreed wholeheartedly.
There were about ten people invited to help build the house, and together with the two brothers Yuan Ping and Yuan Cheng, the homestead was dug very quickly, and it took a long time to dig up to the calf depth.
It was approaching noon and I had to rush home to cook. It was not easy to cook for so many people.
Gu Yunxi and Lu Qingqing went to the fields to pick vegetables. He steamed a large pot of steamed buns, dug out the rice, and prepared to cook a large pot of white rice.
All of these men are very good at eating, and with the tiring work of building a house, you won’t have enough energy if you don’t have enough food, so it’s a good idea to prepare more.
By the time Gu Yunxi and Lu Qingqing came back from picking vegetables, Mr. He had already steamed the buns.
Gu Yunxi was in charge of the cooking. He took out two knives and cut the pork into small pieces. He fried a large pot of meat and vegetables together with the green vegetables. He also beat a dozen eggs and fried a large plate full of leek and eggs along with the leek.
I bought a fish from the villagers before and used it to stew the fish soup. It was tender, white and fragrant.
A few people left some for themselves. Seeing that the time was almost up, they moved the tables and chairs to the open space at the door, and He went to call for people to eat.
No one who built the house expected that the first meal of the Lu family would be so rich. It not only included meat and eggs, but also a full bowl of white flour steamed buns, rice, and even fish soup. Even if they were celebrating the New Year, they would not eat it. I have had such a sumptuous meal.
Everyone enjoyed this meal very much, and some people touched their bulging bellies and smiled happily, as if the fatigue of building a house was nothing.
After lunch, everyone sat under the big tree in front of Lu's house, rested for a while, and then continued digging the foundation.
Gu Yunxi didn't go. She finished drawing the patterns at home that would be sent to Shixiufang next time, and then went into the space to check. The herbs were growing really beautifully, especially the honeysuckle. The branches were as long as Gu Yunxi's waist. Taller.
The growth rate of space is really amazing. It's only been a few days, wouldn't it mean that buds will appear in a few days? In how many days will it bloom?
No, we can't wait any longer. We need to tell Father Lu and the others to quickly prepare to plow the ten acres of land and plant medicinal herbs.
While there was no one at home, Gu Yunxi replaced the water in the two water tanks at home with Lingquan water. These days, Gu Yunxi put Lingquan water into the water tanks from time to time without the family noticing.
After all the operations, he was really exhausted. After drinking a few sips of spiritual spring water, Gu Yunxi recovered. He moved a chair and sat in front of the door, holding his chin with both hands, thinking about what to do.
Planting medicinal herbs now obviously has to wait, and the benefits will not come so quickly.
By selling flowers, I can only earn six taels of silver a month. When will I be able to save a hundred taels and give back the space?
Last night, Lu Jianchuan told her that when she went to town, she would ask if there was any copying work. He also wanted to earn some money.
Lu Jianchuan has been feeling pain in his injured leg from time to time recently. He thought it was because he walked too much during the day, which affected his leg. He was afraid that his family would be worried, so he didn't say anything.
In this way, the family built the house in an orderly manner. On the other side, after discussing with Father Lu, we invited a few villagers to go to Xipogou to plow the ten acres of field and turn it into ridges. ridge.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver flowers, Gu Yunxi took Lu Qingqing to the food store and bought a large bag of honeysuckle seeds.
"Sir, you bought so many medicinal herb seeds, but can you grow them yourself?"
The waiter asked curiously, and Gu Yunxi nodded with a smile. Seeing the waiter's expression of disbelief, he found it very funny.
I didn’t expect that my little daughter-in-law, who looked only ten years old, could be so capable and could even grow medicinal herbs!
"You are really awesome. If you can grow herbs, you can make a lot more money than growing food!" The waiter gave a thumbs up and praised Gu Yunxi without hesitation.
I bought a lot this time, and the price was still the same as last time. Gu Yunxi was very satisfied, this store is honest!
After buying the things, he went to the bookstore in the town. Gu Yunxi went straight to the point and asked about the job sitting in the store.
"Brother, do you need someone to copy books?"
"It's necessary. Madam, is there anyone in your family looking for this job of copying books?" The waiter was very enthusiastic and came up to them when he saw them.
"I wonder, little lady, have you brought any words written by your family?"
The bookstore needs to take a look first to make sure the handwriting is neat and meets their requirements before they can give you a job.
Fortunately, Gu Yunxi thought of this, found a book written by Lu Jianchuan, brought it over, and handed it to the clerk.
After reading it, the clerk was a little surprised: "Little lady, who in your family wrote this calligraphy? You can't practice such good calligraphy without ten or eight years of skill."
"This is written by my husband, he is a scholar." Gu Yunxi also felt that Lu Jianchuan's handwriting was beautiful, neat and powerful.
"She is a talented lady, how rude!"
The guy's attitude changed from enthusiastic at the beginning to a layer of respect, and he took out two books.
"That's right. What we mainly need to copy in our shop now are these two books. The price of each book is eighty cents. The scholar's calligraphy is so good that the maximum price can be one hundred cents."
After listening to the waiter's explanation, Gu Yunxi nodded, and then paid the deposit as required by the waiter.
After returning home with a bunch of things, He was still there helping to build a house.
Gu Yunxi washed her hands, cooked the rice with Lu Qingqing first, washed and fried the vegetables, and went to the new house to call them back for dinner.
In ten days and a half of work, half of the new house has been built. This is really fast!
"Dad, I bought honeysuckle seeds. I'll soak them tonight and put them on the stove. I'll ask someone to plant them tomorrow morning."
Gu Yunxi explained to Father Lu that the seeds were soaked in water and placed on the stove at night. The hot temperature could increase the germination rate.
Father Lu nodded to express his understanding. This is just like rice seeds, he understands!
Lu Jianchuan also stopped what he was doing and looked over eagerly. Gu Yunxi saw it and said with a smile: "Well, I also found a job copying books. I got two books for you and came back to copy them."
When Lu Jianchuan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
