Before we knew it, the vibrant March has arrived.

"Girl, where are we going today?"

Nanxing looked at Song Yunran who started writing and drawing early in the morning, thinking that she was going to see the decoration of the shop again today.

Song Yunran put down his pen and rubbed his stiff neck: "Go ask Aunt Chunhua if she is free. I need to hire people to work here. Fifteen cents a day. I need five people."

These days, Nanxing followed her every day, either taking a stroll in the mountains or measuring things in the shop, and he thought she was going out today too.

Song Yunran put away the drawings and while no one was around, she quickly took out three big bags of broad beans that she had bought with points in the space. She had spent more than half of her family fortune to buy these broad beans.

Today I will find someone to peel these two hundred kilograms of broad bean seeds, and then soak them in water. After they germinate, they can be planted.

Due to the village chief's health, she plans to postpone building the school for a few days.

A few days ago, I secretly went to the village chief to buy land at the foot of the mountain, exactly fifteen acres.

After a rough calculation, I found that one acre of land would require about 15 kilograms of broad bean seeds, and 200 kilograms of seeds would require about 13 acres of land, so there would be two acres left.

I don’t have time to think about what to plant yet, so I’ll just rent it out to someone else! Otherwise it’s just sitting there anyway.

The reason why I bought the land secretly was because half of the land was sold by the Bai family. In order to avoid trouble caused by the Bai family, I had to buy it first.

Now that she has the title deeds and other things in hand, she is no longer afraid of them.

It is March now, and we have to start planting quickly, otherwise it will be too late. After all, crispy Anhui fish is a unique delicacy here.

By then, her restaurant will depend on it. Even if the restaurant cannot continue to operate, this crispy Anhui fish can still bring her a lot of profit.

If the restaurant can’t handle it all, just ship it to the capital. As long as you can make money, that’s fine.

By the time she had dragged out all the broad beans, Nanxing had just returned with his men.

"What is this?"

“Looks like seeds”

"Yun Ran, what kind of seed is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Several aunts gathered around a pile of broad beans. Each of them took a handful and chattered about it.

"These are broad beans. I bought them from a merchant."

Fortunately, she had asked around a long time ago, and found out that there is no such plant as broad beans here yet, which is even better. Other foods will be researched out sooner or later. Her crispy fish is exclusive, and even the beans used to grow it are exclusive, so she doesn't have to worry about others stealing her business.

Aunt Chunhua pinched the broad beans and nodded as if she understood: "Beans! Why do they look a little strange? They are different from what we usually see."

Song Yunran picked up a broad bean and gently peeled it: "Please peel the beans, just like I did just now, but be careful not to damage the flesh of the beans. Put the peeled beans in these two large water tanks."

Song and Jixiang came back from the backyard with chicken feed. When they saw so many beans that needed to be peeled, they quickly put down what they were doing and went over to help.

Since the house was built, Song hasn't done much work, except cooking a few meals a day and working in the fields.

Things were better after Xiaobao and Liuli came, as she had someone to keep her company. But these two ungrateful kids have been running outside every day since they became friends with the kids in the village, and never come home until a certain time.

Finally, she was too idle to do anything, so she asked Yun Ran to buy some chickens and ducks to raise, so that she could pass the time.

Song Yunran called out Jixiang who was peeling the skin: "Jixiang, go to the village to collect some wood ash, the more the better. If there is none in the village, ask Shiyu to go to the next village to collect it."

"Yes, girl." Jixiang didn't care whether there was anyone in the village or not, and directly dragged Shi Yu, who was reading in the room, out.

"Third sister, what about me? What is my job?"

Xiaobao and Liuli looked at her eagerly, as if waiting for her arrangements.

Song Yunran picked up Xiaobao and kissed him on the soft little face: "You two go to the village and ask who is free. I want to hire five people to cultivate the land. Twenty-five cents a day."

"Go right away." After receiving the task, the two ran out happily.

Song Yunran, who had some free time, ran to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water to use for soaking the seeds later. The water temperature for soaking the broad bean seeds had to be around 55 degrees, and they had to be stirred after soaking for 20 minutes. After the water temperature dropped, they had to be soaked for another night.

After the water boiled, Xiaobao and Liuli came back with their people.

Song Yunran praised the two of them and then sent them out to play.

The five people Xiaobao called all brought their own farm tools. They looked familiar. After taking a few more glances, he found that they were the same people he had hired when he built the house.

This is better, as it is easier to discuss with acquaintances, and we have worked together before. They all have very strong working abilities, so I can feel at ease handing the land over to them.

Song Yunran cleared his throat and said, "Uncles, I have thirteen acres of land at the foot of the mountain. I need your help to plow it. The land needs to be plowed deeper than usual, and you need to sprinkle wood ash on the plowed land.

After the wood ash has been left overnight, I will trouble you to come the next day to prepare the land and make ridges. The ridges are about one meter wide, and two sowing holes are dug in each ridge, with a distance of three fingers between the sowing holes. If you are free, you can also come when it is time to sow in seven days. The wages are still 25 cents a day."

The uncle in the lead smiled shyly and said, "Okay, we'll go there now, but you have to lead us there."

Song Yunran remembered him. When the house was being built, he worked the hardest, and he was always too embarrassed to pick up food while eating. In the end, Song couldn't stand it anymore and just picked up the food and poured it into his bowl.

Then a group of people followed Song Yunran, each holding farm tools, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Song Yunran pointed to the land at the foot of the mountain and said, "From here to there, there are a total of fifteen acres. You only need to cultivate thirteen acres."

After a few people walked around and saw it, they all nodded to show that they understood.

The shy uncle didn't find the wood ash, so he looked at Song Yunran: "The land can definitely be turned over today, but where is the wood ash? With so many acres of land, we need a lot of wood ash!"

"I know. You guys look through it first. I'll have someone bring it over later."

Jixiang and Shiyu have already gone to collect them. With their abilities, they should be able to bring them back before they finish searching.

A few uncles determined their positions and started working, each of them swinging their hoes vigorously.

Song Yunran was absolutely confident in these people, so he turned around and went home, planning to make some mung bean soup for them.

After all, no meals are provided today. Although the wages are not low, it is hard work for them to turn over so many acres of land in one day and spread wood ash.

Unfortunately, she met Bai Lianhua and Bai Baozhu halfway through her journey.

Bai Lianhua smiled at her pretentiously: "Sister Sanya, are you going to the fields?"

When Song Yunran saw her pinching her throat and pretending to greet him, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and look away: "Ugh..."

Bai Baozhu looked like she wanted to seek justice for her niece. She pointed at Song Yunran and cursed, "What do you mean? Lianhua is just trying to say hello to you out of kindness, you uneducated bitch!"
