After crossing over, it's hard

The next day, Li Ran and Ji Nan went to Xiaoshanbao to pick red bayberries. Xiaoyuan and Gousheng heard about it and wanted to follow. Li Ran agreed. There were no big beasts on the Xiaoshanbao. something will happen.

A family of three, with a leftover dog, Li Ran carried a pannier on his back, and held a pannier in his hand. This belonged to Jinan, and Jinan carried the basket. When it was full, he would pour it into the basket. Li asked Ji Nan to go home first.Xiaoyuan and Gousheng also each carried a small backpack.There are four dogs behind him, who have been raising them for several months, serving them with delicious food and drink. The four dogs grow very fast and look no different from ordinary adult dogs. Their hair is smooth and smooth, very He is smart and fierce, and he listens to Xiaoyuan and Gousheng very much.But Li Ran still couldn't tell what kind of dog they were.

Five or six bayberry trees are not tall, and they can be picked without climbing trees and standing on the ground. For those on the top of the tree, Jinan uses the branches or poles on the ground to directly press down the treetops and pick them. .The two children saw the red bayberries falling on the ground and went to pick them up, but Li Ran stopped them. Li Ran told them: "The red bayberries falling on the ground are not edible, not fresh, and may be crawled by snakes. If you eat it, you will be poisoned and have diarrhea, but after you die, you will drink bitter medicine." The two children listened to the medicine, with wrinkled expressions on their faces, and picked up their own from the ground as quickly as possible. The red bayberry was thrown away.

The children are not determined and patient. They picked and ate for a while, and then they didn't want to pick them anymore. They put the back baskets and played with the puppies.Li Ran didn't expect the two children to pick Yang, and he didn't care about them. He just told them not to run around and play around him and Ji Nan, so that they wouldn't be found later.

There were not many red bayberry trees, so they came early, so they finished picking at noon. They picked two baskets, plus a small half of Li Ran's back basket, which was estimated to weigh about 150 catties.After returning home, after lunch, Li Ran set aside twenty catties of red bayberry, and then gave some to Zhang Guihua, Grandma Li and Grandma Ji.The rest of Li Ran were all pickled according to the previous method.Fortunately, some time ago, Li Ran thought that he needed a large tank to make mountain wine at home, so he bought two. Now that the mountain grapes have not been picked, Li Ran thought that he would use them to pickle red bayberry first. Those two are really big. The 100 Many catties of red bayberry didn't fill it up, and it cost half a tael of silver to buy it in the first place.

It is very easy to pick and handle the red bayberry, after all, there are not many.It's just that the temperament is troublesome. There may be more than twenty apricot trees in that small apricot grove, and there are many fruits. Li Ran and Ji Nan alone may not be able to pick them for several days. .Now the family is busy, and there is still a lot of farm work waiting to be done, so it is impossible to spend too much time here.Thinking of this, Li Ran simply decided to ask someone to pick the apricots, which would definitely save a lot of time.

There are only a few families that Li Ran has good friends with in Jijia Village. If you want to hire someone, you can think of these families after thinking about it.After pickling the red bayberries, Li Ran went to send red bayberries to several families he had befriended.Li Ran told Zhang Guihua about this, and asked him and Wang Da if they had time these days, and asked them to help pick apricots and provide two meals for twenty dollars a day.

Zhang Guihua, of course, agreed with all her mouth. Twenty big bucks a day is not a low price. He and his family will have forty big bucks in one day. If you do it for two days, you will have it. One hundred and eighty big money.And for them who are used to doing heavy work in the field, picking apricots is not a big deal at all, it is very easy.Zhang Guihua was very grateful to Li Ran. He knew that because of the good relationship between the two of them, Li Ran would think of him first. Otherwise, there would be plenty of people rushing to do such a good job.Zhang Guihua secretly thought in her heart that if people think about herself like this, she must repay them in the future, but she must not be ungrateful like Zhang Dafeng Jinhua.

After returning from Zhang Guihua's house, Li Ran went to Grandma Li's house again, and finally went to Grandma Ji's house and the old hunter's house.Li Ran said that Ji Dong and Wang Xiaoju were invited to pick apricots at their house tomorrow, but Ji Dong and his wife were not at home, and Ji Ama agreed wholeheartedly.

The next day, not only Ji Dong and his wife came, but even Ji Ama came to Li Ran's house. He came to cook for Li Ran's house. Li Ran picked the apricots from the small hill bag for the six or seven people's meals. It must be very tiring to come back to cook. Ji Ama thought that she didn't have much to do at home, so she just came to help Li Ran cook, which could reduce her burden.Li Ran didn't politely refuse. Anyway, the dishes at home are all ready-made, and Aunt Ji can cook them after washing, so it's not too much trouble.

The six people brought a few children who came to play with them, and it took two days to pick the fruit of the small apricot forest back home.There are ten baskets in total, but they are not very full.There are only six baskets in the house, and the other four baskets were borrowed from Zhang Guihua's house.After paying the wages of the two of them, Li Ran gave each of them a basket of apricots and asked them to take them home to eat.This apricot is a sweet apricot, sweet and sour.

There is another room in the house that is specially used for storing things. There are rice, two tanks, and other miscellaneous things in it. It can only hold four baskets, and the other six baskets can only be placed in the main room.These ten baskets of apricots, Li Ran, are going to be used to make preserved apricots and apricot jam. Now the apricots are just ripe, and if they are kept for a long time, the apricots will become soft, or they will be too ripe. Dispose of it quickly, but it's still the same sentence, so many apricots, even if he and Ji Nan are both involved, they can't finish it at all, so I still have to ask someone for help.

These apricots have to be processed quickly, so Li Ran plans to invite more people, and sitting on a stool to cut the apricots in half and take out the core, this is not a heavy job, anyone can do it, Li Ran They called Zhang Guihua, Grandma Li, Grandma Ji, Wang Xiaoju, and Wang Liu's husband Lang and Ah Mu, the six of them, but Li Ran himself did not participate because he and Ji Nan had more important things to do .

It's almost the end of mid-July now, and those mountain grapes can almost be picked back to make wine, but now there are only three rooms in the house, one of which is used for sleeping, and there is no cellar, so there is not enough room at all.So Li Ran discussed with Ji Nan and advanced the construction of the house.

In the countryside, building a house is a very important and troublesome thing.Li Ran had never encountered such a thing before, and Ji Nan couldn't pay attention to it now, so the two had to ask Uncle Ji again for help.

What Li Ran meant was to minimize troubles as much as possible. At the last discussion, Li Ran simply asked Uncle Ji Dong to help them, and handed over all matters such as bricks, tiles and timber to Ji Dong to help run. He paid a salary of three hundred dollars.In addition, because Li Ran's house was in a hurry, so many people were invited. Seventeen men were called in a row. These men were all recommended by Uncle Ji, and they were all honest and hard-working people from Ji's Village. , not those who like to steal and play tricks.No one of these men, Li Ran, gave him a hundred bucks a day.With so many people, cooking is also a troublesome thing. Li Ran didn't include meals at all, and gave each person [-] yuan a day as a meal supplement.Later, under the leadership of Aunt Ji, Li Ran went to these people to talk about it, and they all agreed happily.For these men, a salary of [-] yuan a day is very high, even if it is more tiring, it is worth it, not to mention that there is a subsidy of [-] yuan a day. You must know that they eat at home, but they eat If you don't make the fifteen big bucks, you're still making money.Later, because Li Ran paid such a high salary, these men didn't go home to eat, wasting time, they just called their husbands or children to bring food to Li Ran. They are very few. In their thinking, taking such a high salary from others and being lazy is too inhuman.

Li Ran and Ji Nan did not participate in the construction of their own house, either because Li Ran was afraid of trouble, or because they still had a lot to do.The potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and wheat in the field can no longer be dragged on, and they must be taken home as soon as possible in these few days.The apricots can be prepared by those six people in about two days. At that time, they will be boiled into jam and dried apricots as soon as possible.The colorful melons picked at home have to get out the watermelon seeds inside, pickle them with salt, dry them in the sun, and fry them into watermelon seeds.All these things are very time consuming.But no matter how busy he is, he and Ji Nan will still spare time every day to see the progress of the house.

The food at home is only two acres of land, so it is quick to clean up, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes are buried in the soil, and they have to be dug out with a hoe, but it is time-consuming, that is, three to five days. They were all packed home and piled up in the main room. Fortunately, the main room was relatively large and empty. Because Li Ran's house was a mess, all the apricots were moved to Zhang Osmanthus's house, and those also went to work at Zhang Osmanthus's house.

Ten baskets of tempers, the six of them are hard-working people, and they dealt with their tempers in less than two days.The nature of ten baskets, in this way, becomes five shallow baskets of apricot flesh and five shallow baskets of apricot pits.Li Ran was going to make two baskets of apricot jam, so he told them to peel off the apricots that were made for jam.

Li Ran and Ji Nan were busy with the field work in those few days, so they didn't care about the prepared apricot meat, they just processed them briefly, cut them into small pieces in advance to make jam, and added sugar to marinate them for a while. Two days, so that the moisture of the apricot flesh itself can be fully released.Spray salt water on the apricots to be dried, spread them on bamboo trays, and put them in the yard to dry. This will ensure that the apricots will not change color, and the dried apricots will be orange in color, which is very beautiful.After finishing the work in the field, Li Ran took out the pickled apricots for jam, poured them into the pot, added the water from the pond with him, and boiled them.After it is cooked, quickly put it into a jar that has been sterilized with boiling water while it is hot, quickly seal the mouth of the jar, put it upside down on a plate and put it on the ground, and you can open it if you want to eat.

It is quite simple to make jam. You just need to master the heat. Two shallow baskets of apricot meat can be boiled in three large pots.All these things have been done, and the rest is troublesome to get the watermelon seeds.Li Ran washed a few large pieces of clean linen, cut the watermelons with Ji Nan, took out the watermelon pulp inside, put it on the linen cloth and squeezed it, so that the watermelon pulp turned into juice and flowed into the bucket, and the watermelon seeds Leave on the burlap.Li Ran and Ji Nan worked for six full days before finishing those colorful melons and taking out the colorful melon seeds.In the past six days, I really didn't do anything, just doing this, and I still lit the oil lamp every night, so it was very late.I gave some of those watermelon juices to the people who made friends with me, made some at home, and the rest were made as tea for the men who built the houses every day.And those men knew that they were drinking watermelon juice, so they had a better attitude towards Li Ran's family, which directly showed that they worked harder when building the house.

There are more than 280 watermelons, each watermelon is at least three catties on average, and these colorful melons are specially used to produce watermelon seeds, but the watermelon seeds taken out are less than one hundred catties, and it is so tiring and tiring. Li Ran has decided not to grow colorful melons next year.Soak the watermelon seeds taken out with salt for several hours, then put them on a sackcloth pad and put them in the yard to dry. After they are completely dried, they are fried in a pot with sand. The salt and pepper, spiced, and butter ones bought outside are much more delicious.

After Li Ran finished these trivial things, his house was built, and he invited many people. Those men got benefits, and they all worked hard, and the room couldn't be built if they didn't want to.Those men also helped Li Ran clean up the new house, and when the house was dry, Li Ran's family could move in.As soon as the house was completed, Li Ran paid them their wages. There were many people hired, and the wages were considered high. This time I saw the house, but the wages went to several taels.

In Jijia Village, about a dozen or 20 taels of silver is enough to build a four or five-room blue brick and tile house.At that time, Li Ran thought that the house should be built bigger at one time, and that there would be further processing and construction in the future. There was only one family in his house, and the place was also big, so Li Ran simply built ten green brick houses.Ten green brick and tile houses are built side by side on the hillside, right above the thatched hut where their family lives now. They are very grand. No one in the village has such a grand house. Li Ran and his family are First.Their current thatched hut will be pushed down when they move into their new home, and the foundation of this thatched hut will become the yard of the new house. The square that comes is so big.

However, Li Ran's house is magnificent, and the money spent here is not a lot at all.Other people's homes can be done with a dozen or twenty taels of silver. Li Ran's house probably cost a hundred and eighty taels of silver. The green bricks and tiles in his house are all of the best quality.There are ten rooms, the main room is in the middle, there is another room behind the main room, and there are four rooms on each side. Among them, the two rooms on the west side are used as warehouses, and the other six rooms are rooms, each of which is laid with floor heating and green bricks. floor.In this way, it is no wonder that it is several times more expensive than others.

After the house was built, the cellar was also dug. Li Ran specially dug a large cellar, fifty or sixty square meters in size.The mountain grapes in Xiaoshanbao can be picked, but before picking them, Li Ran and Ji Nan drove the bullock cart to the town again. When the grapes came back, they didn't have enough vats and jars at home, so they had to go to the town to buy them. .I bought three large tanks, five small tanks with a height of one meter, and a lot of jars that can hold more than ten catties. I spent a total of seven or eight taels of silver. If there are too many, the store will deliver the goods to your door, so you don’t have to transport them yourself.

Everything was ready, Li Ran and Jinan went to the small mountain to pick grapes. They delayed picking the grapes, and it was already very late. Many of the grapes were rotten, and only half of them were left. Mountain grapes bear many fruits.After the two of them finished picking the grapes, they handled them according to Li Ran's method in his previous life, and about seven or eight days passed.

The weather in July and August is still very hot, and the new house has been airing for more than ten days, and it is ready to move in.Li Ran and Ji Nan moved their rice and wheat into the warehouse of the new house. Potatoes and sweet potatoes need to be kept in a cool place, just like the grape vat, and moved into the cellar. The pickled red bayberries are sealed in the vat and sealed Apricot jam, in jars, was also moved into the cellar.
