Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Seeing Mr. Fang coming, the whole family came out to greet him warmly.

Fang Xiucai also had a smile on his face as usual, and his easy-going demeanor made it seem as if he could quickly blend in no matter where he was.

Zheng Xiaoman likes Fang Xiucai very much. If she were to put it in words, Fang Xiucai's state can be called returning to nature.

Fang Xiucai doesn’t know yet that Zheng Xiaoman gave him such a high evaluation. I wonder how he will feel when he finds out.

Here, Mr. Fang followed Zheng Dashan into the house, and Zheng Qingming went to fetch tea and poured it for the two of them.

This tea was picked from a wild tea tree on the mountain with his sister in the fall. It tastes pretty good.

Fang Xiucai picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Hmm, this tea tastes good."

Seeing that he had finished his glass, Zheng Qingming quickly refilled his glass.

"This is a tea tree that my sister and I found on the mountain. We picked it and roasted it ourselves. Master, if you like it, you can take some back later."

"Haha, fine, then I won't be polite." Mr. Fang stroked his beard with a smile. He was really not polite at all.

He looked at Zheng Dashan and asked, "I heard that your family bought 20 acres of wasteland. You will start reclaiming it after the spring, right?"

When Zheng Dashan heard Fang Xiucai talking to him about farming, he thought this was a good topic for him to talk about.

"Yes, my family bought 20 mu of wasteland last year. Once the land thaws, we will start to reclaim it. But we can't reclaim all the land by ourselves, so we will have to find someone to help us."

Mr. Fang nodded and said, "What do you plan to plant on this wasteland? The harvest from this wasteland in the past two years was not much."

Zheng Dashan did not hide anything and told Fang Xiucai about the acorns.

When Mr. Fang heard that they were planning to make this matter public in a while, he was a little surprised.

From what I just heard from their description, this acorn is a good thing.

If they kept the news secret, the benefits would be foreseeable.

Now that they have such a broad mind, he really feels that he has underestimated this family.

He sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so broad-minded. It would be a great benefit to the people if the uses of the acorns were made public."

Zheng Dashan was suddenly praised and felt a little embarrassed.

He laughed and scratched his head, "We didn't think too much about it. We just thought about the people living in this village and hoped that everyone could live a good life."

Mr. Fang also laughed, thinking that the men in the village were still simple and honest.

If this happened to a noble family in the capital, any news that could benefit them would be kept secret.

Afterwards, Mr. Fang talked to Zheng Dashan about some matters concerning farming. Zheng Dashan sighed in his heart, after all, he is a scholar and he knows so much about farming.

Moreover, when Mr. Fang spoke, he did not look down on him at all because he was a farmer.

Zheng Xiaoman quickly cooked all the dishes. She made six dishes in total today, including fish, meat, and acorn tofu.

Before, Mr. Fang didn’t know what this was, but today he found out that it was made of acorns. This is simply turning waste into treasure.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. When Mr. Fang left, Zheng Qingming packed a bag of tea for him to take back.

Only after sending Fang Xiucai back to the dormitory did Zheng Qingming go home with his brother.

The New Year passed quickly, and as the temperature outside rose, the snow from winter began to melt.

As the white on the mountains behind them slowly faded away, their family began to reclaim the land.

Otherwise, when the spring planting comes, they won’t be able to find anyone to help.

Their family is quite popular in this village. As soon as they heard that they were recruiting people to open up wasteland, many people came.

In the end, Zheng Dashan only left about ten people, as his family really didn't need too many people.

Most of these people were the ones who had built the house for their family. They were all familiar with each other and agreed to give each of them twenty cents a day.

Now the laborers in the city are paid thirty cents a day, but because their families provide two meals a day, they are only paid twenty cents.

But everyone came here sincerely to help, and no one cared much about the amount of money.

After the second day of the second lunar month, Zheng Dashan took this group of people to the mountain.

Their land on the mountain is not far from their home, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk there.

Zheng Dashan also led the big yellow ox from his family over. Others, some carrying hoes and some holding plows, walked up the mountain chatting and laughing.

When everyone saw that there were so many acorn trees in their field, Zhao Laosan asked, "Second brother, why did you mark all the acorn trees in there? It's hard to move so many trees out."

Zheng Dashan smiled and said, "I was thinking of finding a day to talk to you about it. Now that we are all here today, I will tell you everything."

The others looked at each other, not knowing what he was up to.

Zheng Dashan did not hide it and said, "You all saw us slaughter a pig at the end of the year. The pig grew to about 200 kilograms in weight. The main reason for this was the fruit of the acorn tree."

Zhao Laosan rubbed his head and said, "Hehe, second brother, we have almost guessed it. After all, you made quite a lot of noise in the fall. We also picked up some, but the pigs at home wouldn't eat them."

Zheng Dashan said with a smile: "I know everyone is curious, so I want to tell you how to deal with acorns."

This time it was these people's turn to be surprised, of course, except Yang Changqing.

Because he had already learned the use of acorns from his youngest son.

Since his family agreed to tell the villagers about this method, Lixia immediately shared the news with his best friend.

When Yang Shuxing found out about this, he told his father.

So the Yang family bought ten acres of wasteland a few years ago to plant oak trees.

Wang Dahai looked at Zheng Dashan excitedly, "Second brother, are you really going to tell us this method?"

Zheng Dashan nodded. "It's not that difficult, actually. You just need to soak the acorns in clean water for a few days before eating them. And then change the water every day, so that the bitterness in the acorns can be removed."

The crowd became excited. It turned out that acorns were so easy to prepare.

When they looked at the mountain full of oak trees, it was as if they had seen gold.

However, Zheng Dashan still reminded: "You can pick acorns, but you must not pick them all up. You still need to leave some seeds so that the acorn trees can reproduce.

Otherwise, in a few years, there may be no more acorn trees on our mountain."

Everyone nodded quickly, "Yes, you are right, second brother, we can't do this unprecedented thing."
