Chapter 441 Embroidered Shoes

Li Dazhu patted her head gently and laughed loudly, "What, it's okay, uncle can't come yet?"

"I wish you could stay here and never leave!" Su Ziling said with a smile. When they entered the courtyard, they saw their aunt Yang Wanxiu and Su A'nai sitting under the eaves, talking and laughing.

Hearing the noise, the two of them looked up and looked at the door, "Back?"

"Auntie!" Su Ziling shouted with a smile, then looked around, "Aren't my grandma and grandpa here?"

"I didn't come. I'm busy at home and can't stay away." Yang Wanxiu replied.

Seeing how many radish seedlings they brought back, Yang Wanxiu was full of doubts, "These radish seedlings were growing well, why were they all pulled out? Did they grow them themselves?"

"Even if you grow it yourself, you can raise it again. These radish seedlings are so plump and plump. Judging from their size, you will be able to eat radishes in a few days. It would be a pity to pull them out now."

Li Dazhu helped bring down the stack, "It looks pretty good to me. If you feed it for ten days and a half, you can eat cold shredded radish."

Su Ziling quickly removed the saddle from the cow and led the cow into the pen. While closing the cow, she explained: "This is specially grown, and it is pulled back to be dried and pickled."

Hearing what she said, the eldest aunt looked curious, "What kind of pickles, using so many radish seedlings, are they also sold in restaurants?"

Su Ziling closed the cow, patted the ashes on her hands, and explained: "It is used to make dry pickles, not the water pickles. There are so many of them now, but there won't be much left after they are dried. Restaurants can't sell them, but It can be taken to the mountain col. I plan to expand some sheds to increase the variety of food.”

"Dried pickles?" My aunt shook her head, "I've never heard of it. I'll learn how to make it..."

Before she could finish her words, Li Dazhu coughed heavily and said, "Didn't we bring fish and shrimps? Mom also made a pair of shoes for Xiao Qing. You can try them on Xiao Qing to see if they fit." ”

Yang Wanxiu came back to her senses in an instant, her expression was natural, "Yes, yes, yes, look, I forgot about it. Your grandma took the time to make you a pair of shoes. You can try to see if they fit."

She turned around and went into the house to get her shoes. Su Ziling washed the handle, took out the radish seedlings, cut the radish with a knife, and hung the radish tassels one by one on the bamboo poles to dry in the sun.

Now the sun is not as strong as in summer, so it will take at least three days for the radish seedlings to dry.

Li Dazhu looked aside for a moment, then took the knife and said, "I'll cut it for you, and you can dry it."

The two of them cooperated very quickly. Li Dazhu said while cutting, "I know you like to eat fish, so I caught two big ones for you, some small fish, as well as shrimps, and the fire-baked fish we smoked ourselves." I also brought two kilograms with me. I just came back from the county yesterday and I didn’t have much left at home, so I took two kilograms and will send them to you next time I smoke more.”

"No, the price of this fish is good, you can just keep it and sell it, we can taste it. Besides, we also have small fish here, a little less, but you can still catch them when you want to eat."

"How are my grandparents and my second uncle? Are they all okay?"

"Okay, don't worry. During this period, we have been opening up wasteland when we have time. We plan to open up more land and use it to grow konjac. This year, just making konjac tofu will make a lot of money. I’m thinking about making more varieties. If there are more konjac next year, I can make more. Then I can open a small shop in the county.”

At this point, he laughed and said, "This is what Sanlang told me. He said that he learned a lot from shopkeeper Su in your shop. We can't afford a shop, but it's only two or three hundred cash a month." You can still rent one.”

"He said that this konjac tofu tastes good and will definitely be very popular in the county. When the time comes to increase the variety, we can also encourage the villagers to plant it together. When there are more konjac, we can make more tofu. There is no need to be like now, where you have to do a certain amount every day, even if you want to make more money.”

Su Ziling nodded, "Sure, open up more land and use it to grow konjac. Konjac is easy to survive and not so picky about soil quality. To encourage everyone, as long as you tell them in advance, you don't need to pay more per pound. No need to worry, they will grow it naturally.”

I also think it is feasible to grow Konjac and Su Ziling. The water there is more abundant than Baihua Cave, so the harvest will be good no matter what you plant.

"I dried some manure at home. When I go back, I will pick up two sacks. Then I will dig a hole and pour the manure into it. You can then pour some water into it and throw in some leaves. Let them become manure together and pour it on the opened wasteland. , so you don’t have to wait two or three years, you can plant it in one year.”

The pig manure at home is cleaned every day, and is poured into the vegetable field at the back to dry in the sun. A circle is specially made with stones, and the chicken manure is also poured into it to dry in the sun every day.

The smell will not spread to the backyard, and there is no fear of someone stealing it. These pigs have been raised for several months. As they get bigger, they produce more and more feces.

We have accumulated several sacks of dried dung at home. Su’s father usually shovels it out once it’s dried in the sun. If he doesn’t shovel it, it will be gone when it rains.

Pig manure and chicken manure were basically handled by Su's father and Mr. Su. Su Ziling and the others didn't get their hands on it at all. It wasn't that they thought it was dirty, it was because they wouldn't let it.

They know very well the importance of manure to crops, so naturally they don't trust them to touch it.

Li Dazhu frowned slightly, "Is it possible to make it like this?"

Has he never heard of using leaves to make dung?

"Okay, you pour the pig manure in, pour some water, and then throw in some melons and fruits with rotten leaves. The retting will be very fat."

"Okay, I'll go back and give it a try, but it's just a sack of pig manure. You guys have a lot of land, so you can keep it for yourself." Li Dazhu also knew the value of pig manure. Although the smell of this stuff is not good, But with it, crops will really grow.

The corn cobs are all a bit larger, and it is clear where fertilizer has been applied and where not.

"It's okay. We still have some at home. We may have made some pigs and cows, and the ones in the cow pen haven't been released yet. They won't be released until after the New Year. I guess there will be a lot of them."

The cows can eat and pull, but they sleep in a grass pen. The top is grass and the bottom has been trampled into dung.

Li Dazhu's face was full of envy, "That's the good thing about raising pigs and cattle. The cow can not only help carry things, but also make manure. If the price is right, I will buy one. It is more convenient to have a cow. "

While the two were talking, Yang Wanxiu came out with a pair of shoes, "Come on, go over there and try it. Your grandma has been doing it for a long time."

Yang Wanxiu said, taking the radish seedlings in her hand and helping them dry them together.
