The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 109

Lin Xiazhi and Wei Fulang worked together in Doufang for half a month, and when Lin Chengyun was almost able to manage things by himself, they let him go about the Doufang.

At this time, the seeds that Lin Xiazhi got had germinated and grown to the height of the palm of his hand. Lin Xiazhi still couldn't tell what kind of seeds they were just relying on a few young leaves. Goldfinger's description changed from "germinating" to " Growing", also failed to provide any useful information.

In the past few days, Lin Huzi suddenly raised an opinion. He felt that his own land was a little short, and wanted to buy some more?

All the tofu has been handed over to the tofu shop to make. Qian Shi and Zhao Nan helped with sauerkraut, kimchi, tofu brain and vermicelli. I feel that there is less work at home.

He was the only one who was free and had nothing to do every day.

Apart from two acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry fields, the family doesn't have much to do. No matter how hard Lin Huzi works, he can finish it in a while.

After Lin Huzi struggled with it for several days, he finally opened his mouth to discuss this matter with Li Xiu.

Nowadays, matters of the Lin family are basically discussed. The whole family has a meeting. After Li Xiu knew Lin Huzi's idea of ​​buying land, he approached Lin Xiazhi.

Li Xiu originally thought that Lin Xiazhi would not allow him to buy the land. After all, he could not make much money from farming, and his family was mainly engaged in business now. If Lin Huzi went back to farming, there would be fewer people who could help.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiazhi actually agreed after hearing what Li Xiu said, and even generously said that if he wanted to buy it, he would buy ten acres.

Lin Xiazhi felt that the cattle at home could help, and since Lin Huzi felt uncomfortable all day long with nothing to do, it was not a bad idea to buy a few more acres of land.

Now the time for rice planting has passed, and no one in the village sells paddy fields, so there is no need to buy paddy fields.

It is almost possible to plant beans in April. There are still a lot of unused dry fields in the village, just not far from the head of the village. There is a large stretch of about eleven or twelve acres. buy them all.

More than ten years ago, Jingguo issued a new rule that taxes should not be collected according to the head, but according to the property, to encourage villagers to open up wasteland.

There is a land tax on the land planted by someone, but the land that the villagers voluntarily open up can be exempted from tax for three years. This is to encourage everyone to open up more wasteland.

In this way, some people who wanted to farm land but did not want to pay taxes came up with a way to open up wasteland to avoid land tax. The wasteland was only cultivated for three years, and after three years, they changed to another place to open up wasteland.

This method can indeed avoid land tax, but the fields that have been reclaimed are not fertile enough, and the harvests of the things planted are not good. After a long time, the land suitable for reclaiming in the village has been developed, and everyone can honestly choose a few fertile fields. , pay land tax.

As a result, there are a lot of dry fields that have been abandoned in the village, and the more they are left, the more deserted they become. In fact, they are no different from the surrounding wastelands, but they are still fields in the official records.

Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Huzi to go to the village to buy that piece of land. Ordinary dry land costs ten taels of silver per mu. Dry land like this that has been abandoned for many years can be cheaper. Gave it to the Lin family.

There are a lot of fields, so you can get more travel expenses. The government servants came quickly. With enough management, the Lin family got the title deeds of those dry fields in two days. The original measurement was twelve and a half mu. In the end, only twelve acres were counted, and it only cost 100 taels to get it.

These land deeds are all written in Li Xiu's name. After getting it, Li Xiu was a little surprised. Why did he buy so many at once? When did Brother Xia become interested in farming?

Now the demand for soybeans at home is very high, and Golden Finger can choose seeds. Why not let Lin Huzi try to grow some high-yielding soybeans?In the future, it doesn't matter whether you grow it yourself or sell the seeds.

After buying so much land at home, Lin Huzi was very motivated. After breakfast at dawn, he took the old scalper out to cultivate the land. His life became very fulfilling and he never called idleness.

The other villagers laughed at him, saying that the Lin family is so rich now, why, as the master of the Lin family, he came out to cultivate the land himself.

Lin Huzi didn't take it seriously. He had never handled the family business, and always felt that doing business was risky. If he could grow more land, he would feel more at ease.

As an honest person, Lin Huzi has never distinguished himself from others, and when others said him, he would just agree with a smile, but those who wanted to talk about him couldn't find a way, and suspected that Lin Huzi was not as simple and honest as he appeared on the surface.

Even with the help of cattle for twelve mu of land, it would take a lot of time to turn over the land. What's more, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Huzi to turn over the land three times. Guarantee the harvest of beans after planting.

After working hard for more than ten days, Lin Xiazhi felt that it was almost done, and asked Lin Huzi to start preparing to transplant bean sprouts.

In the past, people planted beans the same way they planted rice, that is, they sprinkled the beans directly on the ground, and waited for the bean sprouts to come out to see if there were any, and then replanted them.

In fact, beans can be directly sprinkled in the soil and wait for it to grow naturally, or they can be cultivated for a period of time, and then transplanted after the seedlings emerge.

Since Lin Xiazhi wanted to grow soybeans with higher yields himself, of course he chose the method of first cultivating and then transplanting.

Fortunately, Lin Huzi had already urged Lin Huzi to germinate the sprouts before planting rice, and the method of planting beans was not too different. Lin Xia had already prepared the bean sprouts almost without saying anything.

This time, Lin Xiazhi also asked Lin Huzi to prepare more bean sprouts. After the bean sprouts grew out, he only selected the bean sprouts that Goldfinger noted were high-yielding.

The method of raising seedlings in advance should be popularized in Jingguo. Even if other people can't pick better seeds like Lin Xiazhi, it can reduce the planting time and increase the germination rate of seeds and increase the yield.

By the time the beans were all planted, it was already the end of April. Lin Huzi managed to raise his fairer skin this winter, and it was tanned again.

At this time, the rice planted by Lin Jiachun had begun to bear ears.

Other people's rice has just grown to the knees, and now no one dares to spread rumors that the Lin family knows magic. They can only see the Lin family's rice growing well, and they are envious in their hearts.

Everyone in Lizheng was talking impetuously, saying that if the Lin family's rice plantation is successful this year, next year the whole village can learn from their family, and strive for everyone to grow better and more rice.

In addition, Lin Xiazhi didn't tell Lizheng that their rice would be planted for another round after harvesting the first round.

Before this matter started, Lin Xiazhi didn't say it in advance, so as not to be too shocking and arousing criticism.

At the same time, after three months of careful feeding, the broiler chickens over there by my uncle have reached a weight of five catties before they can be released from the cage. They are all shiny and energetic, and they look like good chickens at first glance.

In addition to broilers, several hens that are being raised for laying eggs have already begun to lay eggs, and the rest will be able to follow suit in ten days at most.

Uncle, when the chickens over there grew up, Li Mao sent two chickens and a basket of eggs to the Lin family.

Lin Xiazhi felt that the two chickens kept crowing in the morning, making people unable to sleep awake, so he asked Qian to slaughter them the next day and make them into braised chicken. Made egg custard.

The Lin family used to raise some chickens in the backyard when life was not as good as it is now. Later, Lin Xiazhi thought they were noisy and smelly, and the tofu room was for food, so he couldn't raise chickens, so he slaughtered all the chickens at home and ate them. If you eat chicken or eggs, go to the village to buy them, and you won’t be afraid that you won’t be able to buy anything with money in hand.

The chicken made this time, I don’t know if it’s because of Li Xiu’s psychological effect. He always thinks that the chicken sent by his brother tastes better, not only chicken, but the yolk of the egg is deep and big. It also seems tastier.

Li Xiu raised this doubt, and Lin Xiazhi also felt the same way. He thought that chickens and eggs are indeed better. After all, these chickens eat high protein every day, and they are bean dregs and earthworms. Isn't it delicious?

The broiler chickens from the Li family could come out of the cage. Lin Xiazhi thought their chicken tasted good, so Lin Chengzu recommended it to Jufulou.

The cook of Jufulou made a chicken meal for Cheng Wenliu and shopkeeper Dong, and the two immediately decided to order Li's chickens, and send five chickens to Jufulou every day.

The Li family couldn't produce that many chickens. After Cheng Wenliu learned about the situation, he had to reduce the number to two per day, and urged Lin Chengzu to tell the Li family to raise more chickens.

The hens raised by the Li family will be able to lay eggs in large quantities in ten days or so. Cheng Wenliu asked Lin Chengzu to give them the eggs to taste, and if they taste good, he will even wrap the eggs in rounds for them, and the price is the same as that of chicken , are half as high as those on the market.

This news made Li Mao and Qian Ying very happy. The chickens were raised well, and if they couldn't find a buyer, they would have to pay for it. They had been worried for several days, and now they could finally relax.

The Li family made money selling tofu a few days ago, and they have built a new house. Because they haven’t separated yet, Li Mao and Li Qin are still living together, but because Li Qin’s family has no money, the youngest Li asked him to sign a contract. Zhang said that he borrowed 20 taels of silver from his younger brother to repair the house.

In fact, Li Qin and his wife are much more diligent now than before, because the rice in their fields grows fast, which is envied by everyone in the village.And watching his younger brother's family get more and more prosperous, Li Qin was also anxious, for fear that Ah Ma would let them divide the family and live with his younger brother.

After signing an IOU of 20 taels of silver, the husband and wife felt a sense of crisis in their hearts, and they became more diligent in tending the fields.

At this time, the Cheng family's caravan brought back something new from the north. The thing was round and looked a bit like a sweet potato. People in the north said it was imported from abroad. It was as filling as a sweet potato, and it was also Can be kept for a long time.
