The rain stopped, the wind calmed down, and the sky became clear again in the morning.
Zhu Wentian rubbed the feces in his eyes, yawned and got up to wash up, feeling sleepy.
The mayor didn't come last night, but other people from the village came six times.
Da Lei never told him to open his eyes, but someone woke him up.
The convoys from the villages set off early. People from the nearby villages have been picked up, and those from the farther villages will arrive later.
There was little food at home, so they obviously couldn't eat breakfast, so the village gave them an extra meal.
Big meat buns without rice, rice noodles or rice noodles.
There is rice in the porridge. Rice and red beans are cooked together and eaten with side dishes.
The side dishes are shredded green onions mixed with shredded dried tofu, garlic eggplant, cucumber, cut into strips to squeeze out the water, then mixed with salt, shredded ginger and sesame oil, and half a salted duck egg.
People in the surrounding villages have never eaten garlic eggplant. It is not a local dish, but I tasted it and found it delicious.
They can also eat big buns with meat. A breakfast in Xiaqiu Village is enough for three days of food at home.
The officials did not have fried vegetables to eat. Like the children in the village, they had an extra tea egg.
Children in the village do not eat porridge but drink goat milk, and older people also drink it, unless they are lactose intolerant.
"It should be long, the meat buns are fragrant, and the leek and egg ones last time were also good."
Li Zhixian was content. On ordinary days, he wouldn't be able to eat such good food when he got up in the morning.
"Actually, fennel filling has a stronger flavor, but it's just inconvenient to make. Other villagers..."
The head of the village is used to eating noodles and rice, so he doesn’t choose.
Some villagers like to eat fennel buns because of the presence of people from other villages.
If you keep it for yourself, others will think that there is no meat in the village. If you give good things to outsiders, the village itself will suffer.
I have no choice but to endure it and not eat it for now, just eat meat to prove that the meat in our village can be eaten freely.
The county magistrate took a bite of the tea egg and waited for it to be swallowed: "The tea egg is delicious!"
"I cooked it last night and soaked it overnight. I could have boiled the eggs and peeled them before adding the ingredients, but stupid...it's rare to do that."
The director wanted to say that Hanhan said, there is no sense of ceremony in that way, you have to peel and eat it yourself.
"There is a big tea leaf on this egg." The chief clerk noticed the situation. It was really a tea egg!
"Later, the leaves picked from the wild tea trees were used to flavor the tea because the water was not good enough to make tea."
Li Chang peeled his own tea eggs and explained to these ignorant officials.
After eating breakfast quickly, the officials continued to look at the fields and write down key operations.
The previously idle villagers joined the transplanting team, and it was about to end before lunch.
Instead of slowing down, people in other villages worked harder and harder.
They all planned to finish their work before lunch, grab two kilograms of grain, and leave.
If you don't eat the food from the village, it seems like you are relying on a meal.
"Yichang, will you give them lunch? They worked too fast."
Li Zhixian saw what the hired worker was thinking. He wanted to let people eat, but he couldn't say it, and it wasn't him who paid for it.
"There is still work in the afternoon. What can we do without eating? Xiaqiu Village is going to continue to open up wasteland, starting in the afternoon.
Since we can ask them for help now, we can still wait until late autumn, when the planting time is different and they can harvest rice. "
The director smiled, "Am I missing a meal?" In the past, everyone had little food left over and had no choice.
Nowadays, there is a lot of money in the village, and every day you can help counts as a day.
Plant wheat and multiply wheat.
According to Hanhan, it gives another choice. Should I plant winter wheat after harvesting the rice?
Wheat is the staple food, rapeseed is grain and oil, and hemp is a cash crop.
Even if you plant two acres of wheat, you will have enough to eat for many days after harvesting.
As for saying you don't like noodles, are you kidding me? It’s good to have something to eat.
Do you like to eat grass roots and tree bark? Does Guanyin have earthy fragrance?
The local climate conditions make it impossible to grow a second crop of rice, so we have to go further south.
The helpers didn't know that the village had made arrangements for the follow-up. They thought it was just for these two days.
Take people's money and eliminate disasters with them. Adult matters are ultimately entrusted to others.
Work hard, your waist is bent when transplanting, but your spine cannot be bent.
When noon came, the villagers called for dinner, but they refused to eat and continued to work. It was almost over and it would be over soon.
The villagers didn't eat either and just followed along while the others waited.
The village chief at the edge of the field was silent, and the people from the yamen in Lizhi County were motionless, knowing that they couldn't go to eat.
Zhu Wentian and his friends went to the fields to help. He was not really stupid and insisted on eating alone in advance.
At noon, everyone is done.
People from other villages wanted to leave, but the villagers stopped them.
"I still have work to do in the afternoon, but I want to leave? Can I get two kilograms of grain for free? I agreed to hire him for two kilograms a day, but how can I do it for half a day?"
People from surrounding villages: "..."
"Anything else?" one person asked.
"Open up wasteland, no one can escape, hurry up and eat." The villager said like I am looking at you.
"Hehehe..." This man looked like a fool. He wiped his sweat and said, "I told you earlier! Originally, I wanted my daughter to marry your son when she grows up, but now I won't. You are too bad."
"Zhang Laosan, what did you say?" asked the villager.
"I said I want to wait until my daughter grows up to marry your son..."
"Okay, it's settled. Let's go and eat. I'll give you a meal alone. I've seen that girl of yours. She's a pretty girl."
The villager interrupted the other person's last words, walked over and put his arms around the other person's shoulders, as if he would strangle his neck and cover his mouth if he tried to object again.
Others around him laughed and felt better.
For lunch, we eat rabbit, rabbit raised in the village, braised rabbit meat.
Add a few simple side dishes, and after eating, go to the north of the village to open up wasteland.
Opening up wasteland is very scary elsewhere, but in Xiaqiu Village, it’s just a plow.
After selling soap twice, ninety large animals were added to the village.
There are 396 large animals in the whole village, but some of them can no longer do heavy work because they have babies, and their bellies have become obviously bigger.
The production time varies depending on the month.
They enjoy fine food treatment, but they cannot just stay there. Zhu Wentian arranges appropriate amount of exercise for them to avoid dystocia.
Many cows have dystocia due to insufficient exercise and are always kept in confinement.
As a result, when the first baby was born, all the babies were dead.
Of course, we can assist in production and help pull it out manually.
Some may have saved the big one, and some may have kept the small one.
"What should we plant in the village? We will help plant it, and the land is still empty."
The people who came to work felt distressed when they saw 1,600 acres of open land.
"It's early, let's cultivate the land first." The villagers didn't talk about planting wheat.
When it comes to growing wheat, others don’t understand! Various questions are endlessly explained, which is a waste of time and energy, so it is better to work.
Li Zhixian and others left at this moment, and the village gave everyone a pile of things.
The use of food is considered as a trial or tasting, and does not count as bribery.
This is to share the worries of the people and use oneself as a tester, just like eating is a test for the emperor.
Any dangers or disadvantages should be borne by officials first to avoid harming the people.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, people were reluctant to leave and the horses looked back frequently.
"I really don't want to leave! Especially the horse, he looks back from time to time.
well! In the village it was nothing more than a few simple meals and a peaceful night.
Why did they come? Why are they feeling sad? It's just the indifference in front of me. "The chief said to Hanhan.
His Hanhan looked at him in surprise, nodded, and hummed: "I once asked again and again in the dark and dark, and then I realized that being ordinary and calm is the truth. Looking back again, it suddenly seems like a dream. Looking back again, my heart..."
Li Chang: "..."
