country small landowner

His own garden, his own land, it seems wrong to say that, but Xu Jibai still made it very clear, Qi Bao's is his own!

Now that he has decided to live with Qi Bao, Xu Jibai feels that it is better for him to integrate into the life here as soon as possible.He felt that the first thing to integrate into this family was to work with everyone.

Seeing what Zhou Tao had done, Xu Jibai was basically sure that he couldn't do it.But looking at Qi Bao's eagerness to try, Xu Jibai rubbed his nose, thinking that it's better for him to follow along, lest the little fat man come up with any tricks.

Father Zhou is very supportive of the younger generation’s desire to learn farming techniques. It’s just the beginning of spring, and the orchard will start pruning and grafting. Although they have hired people in previous years, this year they will also hire old people. , but he was still worried.The work in the field is like this. If no one is leading it, it always seems like something almost happened.

Father Zhou taught Qi Bao and Xu Jibai for two days, and Xu Jibai was able to shovel the ground in a decent manner. Although Qi Bao had learned it before, he was basically at the stage where he couldn't do anything well.

As soon as Father Zhou left, the work in the warm shed became tense. After all, it was spring, and the ground had to be replanted when it remelted.Before planting, among other things, leeks, loofahs, bitter gourds, and early beans should be planted.Although Xu Jibai's greenhouse is only in the experimental stage, if he wants not to waste it, he needs to seize the market before the vegetables grow in the field.

After working hard for more than ten days, the Qi family finally planted the vegetables in the greenhouse. In addition to the ones they wanted before, they also planted some cabbages, radishes, water spinach, etc., which can be dipped in sauce. Vegetables that can be fried have a large yield and a good taste.

The vegetables in the entire ten rooms are the same as if nothing was planted after being planted. The indoor temperature is still higher than the outside, but it is more than a little bit.When the sun comes up during the day, the straw mats should be removed so that the sunlight can shine directly into the room.In order to keep warm at night, grass mats are covered on it, and a charcoal stove is also lit in the room. Every time I enter, I have a warm feeling.

After working for a few days, everyone discovered that this job was really not done by humans.Other things are fine, that is, moving that straw mat back and forth up and down the roof is really a technical job.

Zhou Tao went up for two days, and complained endlessly. Xu Jibai, a son of a family, although he suffered a lot, did not do this kind of laborious work. Qi Bao didn't dare to let him go up again.

Qi Bao felt sorry for Xu Jibai, and naturally he also felt sorry for Zhou Tao, but if the straw mats were not removed, the temperature during the day would not be enough, and without sunlight, the plants would not grow well either.It’s even worse at night. If there is no straw mat to keep warm, I’m afraid the charcoal stove here will be burning, and the warmth will run out there.

It's really a headache.Qi Bao probably knows how modern plastic greenhouses are made, but that one is really different from this one. Their straw curtains can be rolled up by pulling a rope.

Qi Bao was thinking about it, and he didn't know how to solve this problem. He could only watch Xu Jibai or Zhou Tao climbing up and down every day, and his little heart was thumping with fright.

"Or, let's hire two people." Although this job is a bit tiring, there are still many people willing to do this job in this era, and then the family will just pay more.Besides, Xu Jibai and Zhou Tao are not people who are used to work, and Zhou's father is getting older, so he is even more worried about going up to Qi Bao.

Xu Jibai patted the straw crumbs on his hands, "No, I've already asked some people from Shangjing Zhuangzi to come over. When they come, just let them take care of them. It's an old-fashioned way. , presumably stronger than the two of us."

Although Father Zhou is also a good person in the crop field, in fact, the Qi family has not cultivated the land for many years, and Qi Bao puts all his thoughts on the orchard. In addition, Father Zhou has been pruning and grafting all these years. , Deworming, spraying medicine, fruit picking, and fruit storage are very skilled.

But he is an old farmer after all, so he is still hundreds of sets better than Zhou Tao, especially Qi Bao and Xu Jibai.

"That's okay, how many people can come, can our family live?"

"I'm staying here. Aren't there two idle rooms on the east side? They can live there when they come over and let them clean up. It's getting warmer, and the wing room can't be cold anymore. It's estimated that in ten days or so, those few people will be gone." If you can come here, let Grandma Zhou order a few sets of bedding and pillow cores, and use them immediately when they come."

"Well, okay, I'll go tell Grandma." Qi Bao said as he helped Xu Jibai slap the grass clippings off his body, "The field has almost melted. The garden has also been turned up, and it seems that it is ready to plant."

Xu Jibai understood what Qi Bao meant, and he patted Qi Bao's hand comfortingly, "It's okay, as long as we try, if it succeeds, the time to make money is still to come, I still don't care about paying some money now, just do it In business, there are profits and losses.”

Qi Bao nodded, then smiled relievedly, "Well, it's nothing, I'm mainly afraid that you will be hit. It doesn't matter if you lose money, I have a lot of money, and I hide it behind the mountain. You know the place. If you lose money, you Just steal it."

Xu Jibai listened amusedly, "Why do you want to take it secretly, why don't you just give it to me in a fair manner?"

"You don't understand." Qi Bao looked at him like you are a fool, "If I gave it to you directly, wouldn't it be the same as raising a bad boy? If you secretly take it yourself, I will pretend not to know , it's like I didn't give you money!"

Although he has never heard of the term "little white face", Xu Jibai can easily understand it. A white face is the same as the color painted on the face by actors and prostitutes, similar to the meaning of being raised.

However, he and Qi Bao, no matter how you look at it, Qi Bao is more like a "little boy" than himself.

Wrapping around Qi Bao's waist, she jokingly whispered in his ear: "Why, do you love me?"

"Get up, you're covered in grass clippings, sticking to me!" Qi Bao's face was flushed, and his words didn't have any force of condemnation.

Xu Jibai shook his arms and rested his chin on Qi Bao's shoulder, and the two of them looked at the green shallots, cabbage and radishes emerging from the vegetable field.The lettuce hasn't grown yet, Wei Wei only has a little head, it still looks dark.

Although the vegetables in the farmer's garden have already started to be planted, small vegetables are always like this. Once the ground is broken, they will look like they are blown by the wind, and they will change every day.

It seems that their warm shed can fetch a good price before the vegetables in the field come down.Although you can't make much money, if you continue to do it for a long time, you shouldn't be able to lose money.But now that the weather is getting warmer, there is nothing that can be seen. If there is such a harvest in winter, then I am afraid that it will be a guaranteed profit.

Although Qi Bao had always had ideas before, he had sent out-of-season vegetables to Lizheng. Although Lizheng looked happy, he didn't eat any.In this era, although the atmosphere is relatively open, but "abnormality is a demon", in the cold winter, when the moon is green and yellow, there are such verdant vegetables. The first thing that conservative people think of is definitely not something good. I feel that this is not a normal phenomenon, I am afraid there is a monster!

Qi Bao had also told Xu Jibai before, but Xu Jibai was not worried. What Qi Bao did at the beginning was just a tentative behavior. People dare to eat.

But he is different. The big family will harvest some vegetables in the Zhuangzi every winter. These vegetables are grown near the hot springs in the Zhuangzi. The quantity is very small, so they are more expensive.If green vegetables can appear on the market on a large scale in winter, sales will definitely not be a problem.

Qi Bao couldn't see this clearly. After all, he was essentially a modern person, and he didn't know much about ancient times, and he had always lived in the countryside. He knew very little about the real dynasty, and his vision was naturally narrower.

Xu Jibai can think of what he thinks of, and Xu Jibai can think of what he can't think of, so Xu Jibai can see farther and dare to do it.

About ten days later, Xu Jibai's people came over, a total of two families came, Xu Da and Xu Fa led their elder brother.Xu Da and Xu Fa have been farming since childhood. They came from a village, and their family suffered a disaster and couldn't survive, so they planted grass bids and sold themselves.

Xu Jibai happened to be looking for someone at that time, and he fell in love with these two people at a glance. They were also interesting, and they were only willing to sell them to a family. bought.

At that time Xu Jibai had just started to work on his own, and his grandma left him a lot of dowry, including hundreds of acres of land.Xu Jibai used the silver and a few shops to build his home, the land and the jewelry, and he was not willing to sell them. After all, they were the relics left by his grandma, so they can be regarded as a memory.

Part of the land was rented out, and the other part was reserved for food in the village.Xu Da and Xu Fa are the ones in charge of farming in Zhuangzi.

Xu Jibai recruited these two people this time because he liked that they were hardworking and hardworking, and they were both married, stable and determined, not afraid of any gossip.

When these two families came, Xu Da's family and Xu Fa's family were also diligent, and they didn't need Grandma Zhou and Xu Miao to clean up the house after fetching water.Looking at it like this, I guess I will live here often. Naturally, I have to clean my house. I am used to it, and I don’t need to be instructed. How can I fetch water, how can I hold firewood, how can I cook? With big eyes, I can get a rough idea.

After cleaning the house quickly, Grandma Zhou led the quilt maker down the mountain to fetch the quilt.Xu Jibai only told four people, but did not say that they belonged to two families, so they all made single quilts, enough for one person to cover.Xu Da's family and Xu Fa's family didn't say anything, they only praised the thickness of the quilt, and the owner's willingness to cut the material, which made Grandma Zhou very embarrassed.

They all know how to do needlework, and it won’t be inconvenient to take it back and change it by yourself, but it’s a pity that it’s a whole piece of good material. If it’s not mended properly, it will be ruined.

The same goes for Xu Da and Xu Fa. When they arrived, they began to learn from Xu Jibai how the greenhouse works, when to see the light, when to water, how to weed, and when to cover the grass mats.

After all, he is used to the work, he can get a general idea just by talking about it, and once he gets started, his posture is much better than Xu Jibai's.Qi Bao praised them, but they were still embarrassed, just saying how good their master is, Qi Bao hid behind Xu Jibai and poked his ass, didn't they all rehearse in advance, why did they say good things about him? !

Xu Jibai grabbed Qi Bao's presumptuous fingers with the back of his hand behind him. He was too tired these days, and if he didn't torment him at night, his skin started to itch again.

"Be honest," Xu Jibai warned with a smile, "Don't dare to cause trouble again, beware of ghosts pressing the bed at night!"

Qi Bao pursed his lips and said happily, "Hmph, just press it, because I want to see what that kid looks like, is he as handsome as my young master!"
