Sign in and get rich in farming

Yu Erlang is full of energy, which stimulates Yu Hongdou and gives him lots of ideas.

She suddenly thought, if tools such as windmills and spinning wheels could be made into models and assembled in batches, could they play an educational role?

Windmills and spinning wheels are practical tools that have a relatively large proportion nowadays. The former can be used as a power source to pound rice and grind rice flour, and can also be used as a water-grinding tool, such as the workshop in Anbei Village.

The production methods of these tools are mostly passed down from master to apprentice, from generation to generation.

Without the inheritance from the master, ordinary people would have no idea how to make them. If she could really make these two things...some people with dexterity could also build them in different shapes.

The more Yu Hongdou thought about it, the more interesting it seemed. She discussed with her second uncle and decided to make a waterwheel first. After all, this thing was very useful.

Yu Hongdou explained the pros and cons to her second uncle, and asked him to keep it secret for the time being.

Yu Erlang agreed obediently, looking at his niece with a smile in his heart and eyes.

"No wonder your father has become so successful. With your ideas, even a pig can get to the top." Yu Erlang praised his niece and her father generously.

Yu Sanlang, who just walked in to see what his daughter and second brother were doing, said: "..."

Yu Hongdou chuckled: "My dad is very powerful, and my second uncle is also very powerful!"

After chatting in the second room for a while, I carried a bunch of vegetables back home.

They have come back less frequently in the past two years, so the second room is the one that is planting crops in the yard, with the first crop being potatoes.

Before autumn, potatoes are harvested and then cabbage and radishes are planted. These are winter storage vegetables and can be eaten all winter long after being harvested.

That's why the second wife gave a bunch of vegetables to the third wife, because there were only cabbages and radishes in the third wife's yard.

"Make some lily and mung bean porridge tonight, with pumpkin and cornmeal cakes on the side, and ask Aunt Qian to prepare some side dishes. I want to eat cold-boiled radish skins!" Yu Hongdou mumbled while ordering dishes while holding a pumpkin that was twice as big as her head.

"Okay, let's braise a rabbit. I'll go to Brother Suozi's house later and buy two fish." Yu Song held a kicking rabbit in each hand and responded to his sister.

After Suozi got married, he began to think about ways to make money and learned how to catch fish. He always raised a few fish at home, mostly sold to villagers.

"Brother, ask Brother Suozi if he is willing to take the job of collecting pine needles. If he is willing, he will organize people to help collect pine needles." Yu Hongdou accepted Suozi's favor.

The main reason is that she doesn't have enough manpower, so it would be nice to divide up this work which does not require much technical difficulty and let everyone earn some money together.

Yu Song agreed, went home, got the money, and went out again with Yu Sanlang.

Yu Sanlang wanted to take a look at his own half of the mountain, pick some wild fruits, and take a look at the medicinal herbs grown in the village.

In the first year, Taoyuan Village became rich by growing pepper and ginger and received rewards from the government. Then, neighboring villages came to learn from them like crazy.

Most of them came to ask for pepper and ginger seeds, and a few villages came genuinely to seek experience.

Yu Sanlang and Tan Bailu had anticipated this situation and sent people to monitor each village one by one. They decided to try to grow different medicinal herbs according to the different geography of each village.

Taoyuan Village and Taoxi Village are connected to each other, and the mountain environments are not much different. In addition to the two common medicinal herbs, pepper and ginger, Taoyuan Village has added lilies, while Taoxi Village has wolfberries.

Yu Sanlang listened to his daughter and planted some pine trees and mugwort on his own half of the mountain.

There were mint, olivine and large areas of roses planted in front of and behind the house, as well as two soapberry trees that Yu Sanlang specially asked for from Wangzhuangtou for his daughter.

Yu Hongdou led Tan Langxiu and Tan Yanlin to pick soap beans and silver dan grass, preparing to personally teach them how to make the first version of soap.

Tan Langxiu and Tan Yanlin were very excited, and even Mo Shougui temporarily put down the golden octagon that he had been holding and came over to watch the fun.

The soap workshop in Zhuangzi has now almost become an assembly line. When Mo Shougui saw it, he once praised the young apprentice for his smart brain.

"How did you come up with the idea at that time?" Mo Shougui watched his little apprentice skillfully boil soap beans and precipitate wood ash, and tapped her little head.

"I thought that soap nuts and wood ash can both clean clothes and hair, so putting the two together would double the cleaning power."

"Aren't bath beans made of lard? I added oil. It smelled bad, so I added herbal spices, and it became like this." Yu Hongdou grinned at the teacher.

"Hongdou is quite quick-witted." Tan Yanlin praised with a double meaning.

Tan Langxiu looked at Tan Yanlin strangely and nodded. The little girl was very smart.

"Okay, done. Let's come back tomorrow morning." Yu Hongdou changed the subject and put the container of soap liquid back to its old place.

"The first time I tried to make liquid soap, I put it in a box and left it here to dry. Then I woke up the next morning and found that it was gone." Yu Hongdou pointed at the old place with amusement.

The shock and anger at that time almost burst my head, but now when I think back on it, I just feel funny.

"Uncle San and Yu Song took it away?" Tan Yanlin hit the nail on the head.

Yu Hongdou pouted. Chatting with smart people sometimes saves effort, but sometimes it takes away a lot of fun.

She tied her hands together, looked at the two noblemen who looked just as embarrassed as she did, and encouraged them to go out and embarrass themselves together.

"Let's go! Let's go to the spring below to wash." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the yard.

Wangwang, who was lying in the yard, saw his little master go out and immediately stood up and followed him.

Seeing that he had reached the front door and his family hadn't tried to stop him yet, the clever puppy immediately stood up, wishing he could run eight hundred miles away immediately.

But he had to keep an eye on his little master, so he ran a few meters away and then turned back, then ran a few meters away and then turned back, and did this repeatedly, making Yu Hongdou laugh.

Tan Langxu followed closely behind the man and the dog. He looked at Wangwang with eyes full of pity. He wanted to let it run for a while, but he knew that the village was not suitable, so he could only hold back and keep silent.

Tan Yanlin stood there for a while, and was pointed out by Mo Shouguixu: "It's rare to be confused."

Tan Yanlin came to his senses and couldn't help laughing. He clasped his fists and bowed to Mo Shougui as a way of thanking him, then took a step and caught up with the two in front.

There was not much rain this year, and the water flow in Nanquan was much thinner and shallower. Yu Hongdou almost had to stick her butt out to touch the water.

Considering the aesthetics, she simply jumped into the water with her shoes on. It was sunny now and she wasn't afraid of catching a cold. She could just go back and change her clothes later.

She washed her hands and face quickly, scooped up two handfuls of water and drank them to cool her down, took a refreshing "ha" and recited a line from the advertisement of a green-bottle beverage.

"Crystal clear, refreshing." Tan Langxu repeated it, and imitated Yu Hongdou to scoop up two handfuls of water and drink it, then laughed heartily.

Once this normally silent person started laughing, the power was compounded and Yu Hongdou was stunned.

It was not until another scholar behind him repeated it that Yu Hongdou burst out laughing.
