Tian Gui and others refused to stay at the inn. When they heard that Er Rui was going to send grain to the Huo family, they didn't even sit at the tea shop. They called for everyone to leave together: "Er Rui is walking in the city with money on him. It’s not safe, it’s better for everyone to go and rest together!”
At this time, Er Rui's robe was very heavy. It was full of copper coins and there was no time to sort them out. He estimated that there were four to five thousand coins.
For ordinary farmers, four or five taels of silver is a year's income, which is quite a lot of money.
Xu Genyou also thought that although Xiaoman and Errui were together, there were only two of them, so it would be better to have more people.
Xu Errui could not refuse the kindness of Tian Gui and others, so he could only buy white-flour steamed buns for everyone to eat, and then a group of people went to the street where Miss Huo Er lived.
This is the address Miss Huo Er left for Jiang Zhi when she came to sign the contract last time.
When the servants of the Huo family saw a large basket of young corns and heard that it was delivered from dozens of miles away, they immediately told them to wait and not leave.
Inside, Miss Huo Er hurried out and saw Xu Errui. She asked about the whole story and said with a smile: "Mrs. Jiang knows medicine, but she is not used to doing business. You are taking risks by selling things like this.
When we eat green grains, we only do it secretly and find reasons to do so, and we cannot do it openly.
I will accept these green grains. The yard where you lived before is still empty. You go and have a rest first, and I will find someone to buy grain for you. "
After asking Xu Errui and others if they had anything to do, Miss Huo Er made arrangements after a few words of laughter.
When Xu Errui and Xiaoman moved into the same courtyard again, it was better for them. They were familiar with each other and invited everyone to have a rest.
Tian Gui and Xu Gen were a little confused by them. They just gave the house so casually?
The Huo family had a good time borrowing the house, and Er Rui didn't dare to touch the things on the bed casually.
Now that we were full, we were really tired, so the ten people lay down on their stomachs and fell asleep, regardless of tables, stools, quilts or pillows.
When they woke up, the sun was already setting in the west, and the Huo family sent a man to knock on the door, saying that they had set the price for them at the grain store and could go over to collect the grain at any time.
The shops in the city are full of acquaintances, and the goods are cheap and there is no need to choose.
Xu Errui thanked him repeatedly, and the group went to the grain store.
He used the money from selling young corn to buy food, and also prepared dry food and torches for the night journey. He wanted to go home before closing the city gate.
Just on the street before leaving the city, I "accidentally" met Miss Huo Er again. Before Xu Errui could thank her, Miss Er asked: "How much green grain does your family have?"
Xu Errui said: "There are still more than ten acres!"
Miss Huo Er thought for a while: "I will send someone to take a look tomorrow."
She wanted to buy some as gifts. This kind of inexpensive but rare food was just right for her close relatives and friends.
Xu Errui naturally agreed again and again, and Tian Gui and other villagers were also happy.
So, a group of people pushed the grain cart back, full of hope and not tired at all, with the wind at their feet.
On this day and night, the food sales were thrilling, and Jiang Zhi in the village was not relaxed either.
After dividing the remaining corn and carrying several large baskets to Zhang Juntou and others, she stopped.
Mrs. Liu and Xia's mother both brought her food and asked her to go to their home to sleep for a while.
When Jiang Zhi can't think of sleeping, she has to quickly arrange manpower to cut off the stalks and make green storage fodder.
Now growing in the ground will delay the transplanting of the second crop of corn.
It was verified last night that if you work, you will get food.
Now every household has everything they can afford, and they can get some benefits.
They cut and move, and most of all they cut straw residue.
There is no grinder, so the corn stalks are all cut manually with knives. Everyone gathers around and chops with "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, pong, grass clippings flying around."
In a low recess of a piece of land, when Errui was digging ditches in the field, he had someone dig out a pond and cover it with a straw curtain to prevent rainwater from entering.
Tian Gui and the others thought they were trying to store water, so they used hoes to pound the walls of the pond firmly with wet yellow mud to ensure that not a drop of water would leak.
Now it is easy to install Qingzhu.
When you open it, it will be clean inside. There is no need to spread any oilcloth. You can just pour the corn residue inside and let people step on it layer by layer.
Harvesting green reserves was something that had never happened in Xujiacun, and naturally it aroused a lot of discussion.
Xu Genqing's mother, Mrs. Qin, had just been beaten, and her heart was filled with anger and she had nowhere to vent.
At this time, seeing Mrs. Jiang ruining the corn stalks like this, she suddenly became happy.
Ha, are you going to fertilize all that straw?
What a crazy woman!
Berkshire is evergreen all year round, but in winter, most of the green grass suitable for livestock will die.
In addition to grazing cattle every day, you also need to prepare some hay at home.
Although there are no cattle in the village yet, when the seeds are distributed in the spring, the government has promised to allocate large animals to each village.
If it is really delivered, there will be no grass to feed in winter.
Here, the torn corn leaves, tender sweet potato vines, and rice straw from the fields are dried and kept as fodder for the cattle.
It's just troublesome to store them. If there is a lot of rain in winter, these things will rot.
So they would tie the hay to tree branches and hang it on the roof to dry, for fear that if it was not hung high enough, no one would bury it in the ground.
It's not just Qin who thinks this way, everyone else does the same.
Tian Gui and others left, but Xu Genqing and others were still there.
These people were dissatisfied with Jiang Zhi being the village chief. He only bowed his head and obeyed because his arms could not twist his thighs.
At this time, I was watching a joke: Woman! What you do is just random and unreliable!
Xu Changming had an expression that showed he had known this for a long time: I have long said that if a woman is in charge of the house, the house will collapse!
Originally, these corn stalks could be used as firewood when dried, but this was a waste!
Just wait until Tian Gui, Xu Gen and those who followed Mrs. Jiang to show off her bad feet come back and see if they think they are being fools.
Several people were waiting to watch the excitement and helped urge the villagers to work faster: You all must listen to Village Chief Jiang and work hard. The more you do, the better.
I was afraid that if the village was slow in doing things, they would be stopped by Tian Gui and the others.
The corn grows small, and even the stalk is thin, which cannot be compared with the modern straw, which is taller than a person's head and has a thick and sturdy stalk.
In one day, five acres of land were cut and felled, and the green storage pond was also stepped into.
Jiang Zhi asked people to cover the pond with tarpaulin and then put a straw curtain to waterproof it.
Jiang Zhi did not explain his actions to everyone.
To accept new things, not only time and IQ are needed, but more importantly, knowledge reserves are required.
I don’t have the energy to explain everything clearly, and I want everyone to understand.
Now we just need to let the people below obey orders and obey orders and prohibitions.
Fortunately, Xu Genbao was not here at this time. If he saw Qingzhu, he would definitely ask what anaerobic fermentation is and why it needs to be sealed...
However, if Jiang Zhi has already thought about how to deal with it, if anyone asks, he will say that it is the same as cooking dried vegetables at home.
Anyway, the silage is fermented well, and there is still a wine aroma in the feed.
Now people like Xu Genqing and Xu Changming, who have always been naysayers, are suddenly coming to support her, which is exactly what she wants, and she doesn't even need to explain.
In the second half of the night, the quiet village became lively again, and people who went to the city finally came back.
