After crossing over, it's hard

After Li Ran's demonstration, Zhang Guihua's guidance, and some time to adapt, the small workshop has completely entered the normal track. The potato noodle skin and potato vermicelli are already enough for the consumption of the mutton restaurant.Moreover, the restaurants opened by Ji Dong and Wang Xiaoju in Pingyang Town have also opened, and the business is as good as Li Ran thought before.Ji Dong and his restaurants mainly sell vermicelli, rice cakes, dumplings, zongzi, glutinous rice balls and other things. As Li Ran thought before, vermicelli, rice cakes and other foods that are relatively full are bought by peddlers. Dumplings, etc. The things that look more delicate and novel are more popular with wealthy and wealthy families, and their servants line up to buy these foods almost every morning.But Ji Dong and the others needed fans from Li Ran's small workshop, rice cakes and other things, and Li Ran had taught them how to make them.

Time has entered March, the weather is really getting warmer, and there are endless things to do at home.First of all, the work in the field is about to start, like the paddy field. After a while, the plowing will start, and then the seedlings will be raised.Some crops to be planted in the dry land, such as sugar cane, watermelon and vegetables, are almost ready to grow seedlings.Another thing is to raise fish in the pond. The pond is still a bit small. I want to supply Huibin Restaurant with fresh fish for a year. Now that it is so big, it may not be enough. Last year it was because the supply started from August|September Yes, that's why they can barely supply, and today they can't save money like last year, go to the small river to collect fish fry, today they have to go to other counties to buy fish fry.In addition, there is also the problem of sheep. The sheep that were previously raised could not be supplied for a long time. Therefore, Li Ran thought that he had to buy more lambs and bring them back to raise.Of course, these things have to be done one by one. First of all, the work in the field can be put aside first. Ji Nan and Li Ran discussed to do other important things first.

Li Ran and Ji Nan decided to settle the matter of the pond first.Ji Nan and Li Ran went to the town's yamen to sell the land around the pond, and before the busy farming season started, Li Ran and Ji Nan recruited a dozen men from the village to sell the pond to Dig big.

When the pond was dug bigger, Li Ran and Ji Nan specially set aside a large area of ​​about one or two points at the end of the pond. This is what Li Ran planned to use to grow lotus roots, and the province will reappear when the time comes. The problem of not being able to dig lotus roots just like last year delayed the business of Huibin Restaurant.

After the pond was finished, Li Ran randomly scattered all the lotus seeds in the specially reserved place.And Ji Nan, under the leadership of one of Zhao Youting's subordinates, went to a place in another county that specializes in selling fish fry to buy fish fry.Ji Nan left for a few days, and this was the first time since Li Ran woke up, except for the time when Ji Nan and Ji Dong went hunting in the mountains, the two separated for the first time.Li Ran was really not used to seeing the warm and generous chest around him, and the person who was honestly pestering him around. He suffered from insomnia almost all night long. , thinking of a strong figure.

After a few days in the afternoon, Jin Nan came back from other counties alone in an ox cart. Li Ran looked out in the yard absent-mindedly. When he saw Ji Nan's ox cart, Li Ran ran away quickly After leaving the yard, he quickly hugged Ji Nan who had just got off the bullock cart, and buried himself in that warm and familiar chest, breathing in the breath of peace of mind, and his heart finally calmed down.Li Ran has never realized so strongly that he loves this man so much. "I'm like you, I love you so much." Li Ran buried his head in Jinan's chest, murmured as if he was talking to himself, or confessing to Jinan.After Li Ran finished speaking, Ji Nan didn't know whether he heard it or not, his eyes were smiling, his mouth couldn't close, and he hugged the baby in his arms tightly.

The two put the fish fry in the pond, and went to Zhangjia Village next door the next day to find Zhao Liu, the boss who bought the oil residue, and wanted to discuss with him about the oil residue again. Now that the pond has expanded Yes, there are several times more fish fry than last year, and the fish fry bought are much larger than the fish fry collected in the small river before, so the amount of oily dregs needed is much more.

Unexpectedly, this trip did not go well, and Zhao Liu, the owner of the oil press, said to Ji Nan and Li Ran with a embarrassed face: "Boss Ji, Li Fulang, I can't buy this oily dregs for you today. I'm really sorry that I let you go for nothing."

After hearing this, Li Ran asked curiously: "May I ask, is there any other use for Boss Zhao's oily dregs?" No wonder Li Ran was curious. Just last year, Boss Zhao was very eager for this oily dregs. If you can sell it to yourself, why not sell it today.

"It's nothing presumptuous, I want to keep this oil dregs for myself." Boss Zhao smiled cunningly, and then said: "Speaking of which, Boss Ji and Li Fulang are really tight-lipped. I asked you why you bought this oily dregs. You were hiding it to death. It turned out that you used it to raise fish. I heard that you made money from the boss! To be honest, I also want to use this oily dregs to raise fish. Yes, I'm sorry to let you two run away for nothing." Boss Zhao said proudly, and at the same time, he also wanted to see the jokes between Ji Nan and Li Ran, and see how you can raise fish without your own oily dregs.

In fact, Boss Zhao would know that Li Ran's family used the oily residue to raise fish, and someone came to their house to tell them.That person was the Fu Lang who made trouble when he was selling fish in Jinan last year.He was married from Zhangjia Village next door, and Mu's family is in Zhangjiacun.It's no secret that Li Ran's family feeds the fish with oil dregs bought from Boss Zhao's house, and Li Ran and Ji Nan have never kept it a secret.That husband had a bad time with Jinan last year, and was scolded twice by his own man when he returned home. Naturally, he hated Jinan in his heart. Later, he went to Mu's house to pay New Year's greetings. Thinking about this, he became ruthless. , wanting to destroy this business of Ji Nan's family, seeing that there is no oil residue, what is the bitch doing.Hmph, dare to provoke me.

Boss Zhao, who owns an oil mill in his family, has a better life than the average family in the village, but he can only make a small amount of money, and he is not considered an old landlord in the village.It can't be compared with the money earned from raising fish in the pond at Li Ran's house. After hearing what the husband said, he was naturally moved by the conversation. After all, no one would dislike a lot of money.Moreover, he also wanted to retaliate against Li Ran and Jinan, and even imagined that Jinan and Li Ran would beg him bitterly after hearing that he would not sell oil and garbage to them.He felt that the money Li Ran Ji Nan earned from raising fish last year should have been his. Without his oil residue, how could they raise fish?

But Li Ran and Ji Nan obviously didn't like Boss Zhao's intentions. After listening to his words, they turned around and left without saying anything.

Li Ran was just amused by Boss Zhao's eyes and expression. It's not impossible for his fish to buy his oil dregs.And when he came here, Li Ran thought of it. Now that their pond is enlarged and there are more fish, it is impossible for Boss Zhao's oily dregs to be in their house.It's just that their family is busy now, so they don't have much time to find a new big oil mill. great.Well now, it's none of their business if others look down on us.Later, Ji Nan went to the town to find Uncle Ji Xi. Under his introduction, he signed a one-year contract with the largest oil mill in Pingyang Town, and successfully solved the difficulties Boss Zhao thought he had.

The pond thing is settled, and the rest is the work in the field.Their family originally had five acres of paddy fields and nine acres of dry land. Later, they took back the previous fields from Ji Wangcai, eight acres of paddy fields and eight acres of dry land. Now the family has a total of thirteen acres of paddy fields and ten acres. Seven acres of dry land.With so many fields, if you rely on yourself and Xiaoran alone, you will definitely have to work hard. Ji Nan doesn't want his baby to suffer. There was no way to make Xiaoran suffer last year, and this year certainly can't.Ji Nan thought about renting out the ten acres of paddy fields, splitting it [-]-[-] per year, and keeping the dry land. He can handle these fields by himself without Xiaoran, and of course Li Ran agrees.

While the two were busy with the work in the field, Li Ran discovered that there was a strange and tense phenomenon in the village.Firstly, more and more people came to their house, and what they inquired about were all about planting watermelons, and some people even inquired about planting sugarcane.Secondly, Li Ran always felt a sense of persecution from the villagers, like if he didn't take out the watermelon recipe, something bad would happen at any time.

In fact, Li Ran had expected some of these things a long time ago.In the past, people in the village did not persecute them like they are now. For one thing, the time for growing watermelons was over at that time, and they could not be grown, so there was no need to persecute them.Secondly, no one in the village wants to be the first one.But, it’s different now, it’s already March, and it’s another year of spring plowing. If they don’t force a way to grow watermelons, they will miss another year of making money. How could they miss it? Not the first to come out.

The situation in the village is getting more and more tense, which makes Li Ran have to come up with a solution to solve this matter as soon as possible, and if the solution is not done well, it may even cause fire.After discussing with Li Ran and Ji Nan, they finally decided on a solution.
