Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

Went to do the deed today.

The city of Fengzhou is a living area and a commercial area, and the land for growing crops is all in the outskirts of the city.I bought a farm, which is very dilapidated. It is said that the former owner has been away for a long time, so it doesn’t matter if it is dilapidated. Anyway, I want to use it to grow crops now, and I don’t plan to breed it in a short time, as long as there is soil.

It cost me a total of 62 taels of silver to buy the land and apply for the title deed, which is really expensive.The rule here is that farmers can share the land for free if they want to plant land, as long as they pay taxes and food, but businessmen want to buy land, they have to pay a high price, so it is said that businessmen are really low-status and still have to be scammed.

The owner and shopkeepers came to congratulate me when they knew that I bought the land. They also visited my village and said that it was not too big, but it was enough.

It rained a few days ago, and the land is relatively humid. It is very suitable for farming at this time, but the weeds in the village are taller than people, so we need to renovate it.

I can't do this job by myself. I can't plow more than 50 acres of land by myself. I have to hire some people to plant it and prepare some farm tools. I think I need to hire more people to finish planting soon. .

I went to the farm tool store and bought ten sets of farm tools. They also sell seeds, so I bought some bean seeds.

There is a labor market in the city, which is the same as what I saw on TV before. There are many people squatting there. When the employer goes over and calls out what I want, someone will respond.

Cui Changyu knew that I didn't understand these things, so he took the initiative to ask Adong to accompany me and help me. Chen Xiang said that he would go too. Today is the first day of work, and he wants to cultivate our land himself. respect.

We went to the labor market together. There were many people squatting there, and they all looked at us secretly.

I shouted: "I want [-] good farmers to complete the work within five days, fifty yuan each, half of the deposit."

Someone asked me if I would take care of meals, and I said I would take care of three meals, but the work is heavy.

Immediately, many people gathered around, saying that their land was well planted. Most of them are farmers. They come out to find some odd jobs when the farm work is not busy on weekdays. They are indeed good farmers. I chose a few of the strongest physiques. Yes, A-Dong suggested that I add one of the half-centenarians. The old man looked very strong. A-Dong said that such a person had rich experience, so I agreed.

Let me make a joke, 50 years old here is called a half-century old man, this age has not retired in the original world, okay?

We found a total of [-] people. Those who were not selected squatted back listlessly. The people who were selected were very happy. The price I gave was not the highest but also above the average. For them, five days Fifty coins is not a small income.

Storytellers earn as much as I used to, but they have to work hard and sweat from morning to night, and the labor is really worthless here.

Some of these people brought farm tools, some didn’t. I asked them to use my newly bought ones, and he was very happy. Post-finishing costs money and I don't want them to lose their hard-earned money on it.

When I arrived at Zhuangzi, I knelt down on the edge of the ground and kowtowed to the land, praying for a good harvest from the Queen of Heaven. Everyone knelt down behind me and made the same wish. This is the rule Cui Changyu taught me. It depends on everyone. The appearance is also used to it.Farmers rely on the sky and the earth to maintain their lives, and they should be devout to the sky and the earth.

I told them that within five days the land would be weeded, refurbished, and sown with seeds, and they understood everything and would do it for me.

I personally took a hoe and went to the field, Chen Xiang also took a hoe, and Adong went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, so I didn't care about the food.

I am really good at farming. Chen Xiang is better than me. I turned around after planing for a long time, and twenty short-term laborers had already run ahead of me. I don’t know how far. Very blushing.

Farmers' life is not easy!Farming is very hard work, but fortunately, whether it is in the original world or here, I insist on the CD-ROM operation and never waste food. I am worthy of the hard-working farmers.

A-Dong bought two large baskets of potatoes, some vegetables, condiments, etc. I frowned and said, "Why is there no meat?"

A-Dong said in surprise, "Just plant the land and still have meat to eat?"

I flicked his forehead: "Is there any more tiring work than farming? Hurry up!"

A-Dong rubbed his forehead and shook his head, feeling: "The shopkeeper is worthy of being a monk, he has a really kind heart, but don't you monks don't eat meat?"

I gave him a kick: "I've already returned to vulgarity, and I've married my husband if I didn't see him!"

A Dong clutched his ass and ran away with a grin. Chen Xiang poked me and said I was not serious.

There are two houses in the farm. There are pots and stoves in them, which are still in good condition. Unfortunately, there are no chopsticks and bowls.

Chen Xiang shook his head and said no, he pointed to those people: "When you go out to work, you will bring your own food, don't worry."

It turned out to be the case.

I washed and peeled the potatoes, Chen Xiang stopped me: "Why peel them, what a waste!"

Me: "..." Yes, there is no need to peel the skin for this pollution-free thing. Thinking about it, it seems that Chen Xiang did not peel the skin for my stewed chicken before, and it does not affect the eating.

So I washed the potatoes several times, all of them were cleaned, cut into small pieces, soaked in water and waited for the meat of Adong.

At this time, Chen Xiang had already washed the green vegetables. I scooped two tablespoons of lard into the pot, and Chen Xiang said, "You want to cook?"

I nodded: "The meal for more than 20 people, such a big pot, can you cook it?"

Chen Xiang smiled: "Why can't they stir fry, how can the boss cook the food himself, it's a joke to see, I'll do it."

Tsk, I'm also the boss now!I pushed him to another pot and said, "What can't be done, our family doesn't have those stinky dishes, my boss, let's cook rice!"

Chen Xiang couldn't stop laughing, and ran to wash the brown rice a few times, washed it into the pot, added water, and lit the fire to cook.

The oil in the pot on my side squeaked. I threw some chopped green onions into it and doubled it a few times. Then I added a few big pots of green vegetables. After stir frying for a while, I poured some soy sauce. Now the green vegetables are very juicy, no need Add water and simmer to make vegetable soup. When it is almost out of the pot, add salt. I tasted it and the taste is okay.

A-Dong bought the meat back, and several large pieces of pork belly were plated several times. He cleaned the meat and cut them into small pieces quickly. I was just serving the vegetables, and A-Dong saw me jumping under the spoon.

Haha, I am the most maverick man in the world. I can go to the hall, go to the kitchen, earn money to support the family during the day, and warm the bed at night. Awesome!

Added cold water to the pot again, I poured a large pot of meat into it, and added a small spoonful of cooking wine, A-Dong said: "Master, the meat is not boiled like this."

I put the lid on the pot and asked him to add fire, and said: "This is blanching, go to the blood."

A-Dong said distressedly, "Isn't the oil in there boiled out?"

I shook my head and said, "It comes out a little, it's mainly dirty things, it would be disgusting if you eat it."

A-Dong smiled: "When you say that, I think the meat I ate before is not tasty anymore."

Haha, there will be such a situation. Most people will not dislike the blood foam in the meat. After all, it is also meaty. When Chen Xianggang came to my house in the refugee village, he cooked for me. I asked him to boil the water, and he also felt What a pity.

The fire of Adong was very hot, and the pot boiled quickly. I skimmed off the scum, fished the meat into the pot, washed the pot, and then boiled it dry. Then pour in the meat and potatoes, stir fry with soy sauce, add water and simmer.

A-Dong swallowed, and said, "This oil seems to cost nothing, I'm hungry."

I am so happy that Chen Xiang laughed out loud.

Today I cook, and tomorrow Chen Xiang will bring Mrs. Fen over here. They are cutting clothes here while watching the day laborers work. They cook for them at noon and evening. I don’t care about breakfast, because the day laborers It will be very early, if Ah Xiang cooks breakfast for them, he will have to come earlier, I am not willing.

Xiangzhi will not come here, she is an unmarried girl, and she cannot mix with these old men all day long.

Chen Xiang and sister-in-law Fen will do some basic material preparation work first, and then they will sew together after the land is planted.

I was worried about Chen Xiang being here, so I asked Adong to help here for a few more days and stay with Chen Xiang every day. Cui Changyu had no objections, and Adong naturally had no objections either.

Meal is ready, dinner is late today, it's been a long time after noon, the laborers must be very hungry, A-Dong stood on the ground and howled, everyone put down their work and ran over to eat.

A-Dong was handed over to distribute the meals, and Chen Xiang and I each brought a bowl of rice to eat in the room.

I heard the day-to-day workers outside talking about how delicious the food was, such a large piece of meat, with oil floating on the dish, so thick.

A-Dong gave everyone a big spoonful of potato stew, two big spoonfuls of green vegetables, and a big spoonful of brown rice. Everyone was very happy. After doing it, everyone said in amazement that it was impossible, and A-Dong almost started arguing with someone.

It's really lively outside, and Chen Xiang and I have a good time eating inside. We discussed to find someone to help take care of the village. Although the land has been planted here, it still needs to be taken care of later. You can observe this first Are there any reliable short-term workers? If not, find someone else.

After the meal, everyone took a break. I asked them if they were full, and they all said that they were full, that there was a lot of oil and water, and that they ate very well.

Just eat enough, everyone will continue to work in the afternoon, eat vegetable porridge in the evening, use the soup left over from the potato stew at noon and add water, it is quite delicious, each share two eggs, I think young day laborers have some They ate them all, some ate one and took one home, while the old laborer held the eggs and touched them again and again, until he put both eggs in his arms.

A-Dong whispered to me that the old man had a few pieces of meat in his pocket at noon, presumably there was a child in the family who wanted to take it home for the child to eat.

I think poor people are poor everywhere, and such a large piece of pork belly is a luxury for both the people in the refugee village and the farmers here.

Alas, life is not easy.

The author has something to say:

Craving potato ragout.

Experience the feeling of "The Days of Farming at the Marriage's House" in advance, haha, it is a gourmet novel, every chapter has delicious food, but the text will not be as dirty as this one, it will look more delicious.

And, thank you for your encouragement, I just remembered that this is a trivial daily article, why worry about the plot not going fast enough.whee.
