Mountains, like houses, are alive with people.
But after a few days, the entire Pulao Mountain has already changed visibly.
A lot of the dead branches and grass were cleared away, and about a dozen firewood piles were piled around the house.
Some gravel was sprinkled on the road. Although it was only a small section, it showed the diligence and care of the two families.
Especially the fields planted with Tongtuomu seedlings are evenly spaced and orderly.
Old Tiantou followed Yunling and said a little apologetically: "Miss, this village has been abandoned for too long. It takes a lot of effort to clean it up. In the past few days, I and you have only cleaned up a dozen acres of land. When it gets cold again, After all the soil is frozen, it will have to be slower."
Yunling was very satisfied. Although the two families had many people, they actually didn't have much labor. It was enough to collect these things. She said: "Old Tian, just look at the arrangement. It only needs to be enough to plant those medicinal seedlings. Wait. When spring comes, I will add more working animals to the village, and I will also invite people from the villages down the mountain to help with the work."
After thinking about it, she added: "When spring comes, you can plant soybeans on the edges of these fields. If you have any good suggestions on what to plant in the fields, you can tell me."
The root system of legumes can fix nitrogen and increase fertilizer, prevent water and soil from being lost, and can seize the position of weeds first. This is a planting experience passed down from ancestors.
While watching and talking, a few people quickly arrived at the back of the five rooms.
There is a large pond behind the house, with a bamboo raft set up beside it. It should have been used by farmers in the past to wash clothes and carry water.
Yunling looked under the water, and she saw a pond full of fish waving their tails and swimming happily. These fish were about ten inches big and had been raised for at least three years.
Xu Xiangxiang has already directed the guards around him to go into the water to catch fish, "You two go down and catch a few fish and come up and have a look."
"Yes!"
The two guards, who had learned how to swim, did not hesitate at all and jumped into the pond in response.
Soon, a large tub was filled.
Yunling took a closer look at the fish in the wooden basin. In terms of quantity, sea bass was the largest. There were also some fish such as grass carp and crucian carp, but none of them were as fat as the sea bass.
She stretched out her hand to pick up a handful of water, got closer and smelled it, and smelled the faint smell of sea water, which was almost non-existent.
It seems that this place is too close to the sea. This pond is no longer a pure fresh water pond, but a bit like those seaside ponds used to breed sea bass in later generations.
Yunling's heart was burning.
The sea bass cultured in later generations has less fishy smell than the authentic sea bass fished from the sea. It grows faster than the sea bass raised in fresh water, and the meat is more delicious.
This Zhuangzi did not buy it in vain.
He immediately asked: "Is the well in front of the house still usable?"
Chen Xing, who was leaning on a crutch, said hurriedly: "There is water, but not much. Maybe it won't be used for a long time and needs to be dredged. We plan to go down and have a look when the weather gets colder."
Yunling then said: "Then don't use this pond to wash clothes in the future. I want to use the water in this pond to raise fish."
She looked towards the mountainous area behind the pond. Such a large area was enough for her to open several ponds for graded breeding.
But she only knew the general direction of breeding, but not the actual operation.
How about hiring someone who knows how to raise fish?
At this time, Chen Mu, the eldest son of the Chen family, stood up again and said: "Miss, there is a family at the foot of the mountain who dug a pond in front of their house to raise fish. When I passed by a few days ago, I saw them catching fish and sending them to the town."
He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Can I bring some firewood down to them and ask them how to raise fish?"
How could Yunling disagree?
He immediately said: "Go and ask. If they are willing to teach me, I can teach them. If they are not willing, it doesn't matter. We will hire someone who knows how to do the work. You can learn from it."
Chen Lin was originally afraid that the eldest lady would dislike their family for being incompetent, so he took the initiative to take care of things. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady said that he would find a fish farmer for him.
The studious and ambitious young man has a face full of gratitude.
Seeing that she had caught a basin full of fish, Yunling hurriedly said to the two guards: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Please stop fishing."
Then he said to Chen Xing: "Ask your wife to make two bowls of ginger soup."
Chen Xing was actually speechless towards the two guards.
There was a bamboo pole holding the net nearby, but the two people jumped in without any tools, without even allowing time for anyone to stop them.
He turned to his youngest son Chen Sen and said, "Go and get two pieces of my clothes for your two uncles."
The two guards waved their hands and said, "No, please take him with you to warm yourself over the fire."
They have also done the thing of lying in wait for five hours in the ice and snow. The coldness is not a big deal in this regard, but it is true that the clothes are wet and a little uncomfortable.
Although Xu Xiangxiang was a bit wanton and willful, he was still very kind-hearted. He waved his hands and said, "You two have worked hard catching fish. Please change your clothes. Don't get cold."
"Starting from the day after tomorrow, you will catch ten grass carp and crucian carp in this pond every day and bring them to the Tang family. The sea bass will be left in the pond first. If you catch small sea bass fry, you will raise them in a basin first."
After Yunling finished giving instructions to Chen Xing, she led everyone to the house.
There were fourteen people living in the five rooms, which was really crowded. Yunling and the others could only sit in the kitchen for a while.
Then I discovered that the female relatives of the two families actually knew how to go to sea. There were several pots of seafood in the kitchen, including clams, razor clams and other shells, a few sea crabs, etc., and even a bunch of dark green vegetables.
Seeing Yunling staring at the dark green vegetables, the second daughter-in-law of the Tian family said: "Yesterday, my sister-in-law and I went a little far when we went to sea. We met a boat returning from fishing at Qinniu Mountain ahead. This is the dish that the boatman sent us. , it is said that it is very delicious when dried in the sun and used in soup.”
Of course it’s fresh, this is wakame!
"Next time you encounter this kind of food or seafood, you can buy some and send them to the Tang family."
Yunling left another ten taels of silver for Chen Lin, "I didn't think carefully enough some time ago. There are so many of you living in too crowded. Let's just build five more houses on Zhuangzi."
After saying that, he warned uneasily: "You and your father go to Haizhu Village to find the mud and tile team, not Dabei Village."
The Chen family and the Tian family almost cried when they heard this.
God knows how uncomfortable it is for so many of them to sleep crowded together every day. They are afraid of crushing someone even if they turn over, let alone those who are married, they really dare not make the slightest move!
After a trip to Zhuangzi, Yunling came back with a full load.
When the guards returned to the Tang family's house with a basin full of seafood and a large barrel of fish, everyone was a little surprised.
After knowing the whole story, he sighed again, "Zhuangzi didn't buy this for nothing. When the new year is approaching, these fish can still be sold at a good price."
Yunling had other ideas.
"No need to sell it, our family uses it for ourselves."
