Happy Farmer's Life

After the beginning of winter, there was much less friction, and there were only two or three small-scale fights a month. Compared to the past, it was really much easier. Du Weiming also had time to spend time with Jing Yuan, thanks to the TV series he liked to watch before. Du Weiming still gave Jing Yuan some more practical suggestions, such as sand table drills, such as reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, but Du Weiming only knew a little about these, and could only give an idea, but it also benefited Liu Jingyuan a lot, and opened up Ideas, often have some practical ideas.

Du Weiming also often encourages Jing Yuan to have more contact with the soldiers at the bottom. The soldiers also have a sense of belonging. They are fighting to defend their homes and the country, and there are doctors. It is too little, because doctors in the army cannot be rewarded, and of course the chance of promotion is much lower. Sometimes, the status of doctors is worse than that of soldiers.Du Weiming proposed to improve the status of doctors so that the wounded can be treated in a timely and effective manner. Everyone is motivated. If you can't see your future, how can you work hard.

Sometimes Du Weiming's thoughts really surprised Jing Yuanlai. His way of thinking seems to be different from ordinary people. Although not every suggestion Jing Yuan will accept, many reforms cannot be completed overnight, but Liu Jingyuan A lot of changes have been made appropriately, and of course the soldiers below welcome such reforms.

It was already spring when Du Weiming returned to Pingfu Town, and he set off after spending the Spring Festival with Jing Yuan.Thinking about it, it has been more than half a year since I left, and I don't know how the situation at home is.

"The young master is back, the young master is back."

"Renkang, what are you calling, don't scare the guests away." Zhou Wen walked in quickly from the backyard.

"Brother Zhou, the young master is back."

"It's really the young master who's back. Renkang, go pour some tea and see if there's anything to eat. Hurry up and make something delicious."

Du Weiming finally felt like going home, it's better to be at home, the family members also relaxed this time.

"Zhou Wen, let them boil some hot water, and I'll take a bath."

"Okay, young master, drink some tea first and rest. Where's Wang Wu?"

"Going to set up the carriage."

Du Weiming took a bath, ate something, and went to bed to rest. The return journey of more than a month was really tiring to be honest. He was sore and backache from riding in a carriage every day, and he was finally relieved.When Du Weiming woke up, it was already evening, and he heard the baby calling his brother, and his brother rushed into the room.

"Brother, brother, why did it take you so long to come back, baby misses you so much."

"My brother went to help Brother Jing Yuan with some work, and he will be back right away after finishing the work. Come on, let me see if our doll has grown taller?"

"Brother, doll is obedient every day, obediently eats and studies obediently."

"Well, our doll is taller again."

Baby likes to hear others say that he has grown taller, especially when his brother praises him, let alone how beautiful he is.

"Brother, did you bring anything good for the doll?"

"Baby, close your eyes." The gift Du Weiming took out for the baby was a small dagger with beautiful gems inlaid on it. But delicate, I think it is very suitable for dolls, so I asked Jing Yuan to ask for it.

"like or not?"

"I like it, brother, this dagger is really beautiful."

"Baby, this thing is very sharp, you have to be careful."

"Brother, I won't mess around, don't worry."

Du Weiming talked with the baby for a while, and asked about the situation of the baby in more than half a year.Wawa also told her brother excitedly that she had made a few new friends in the college and studied hard every day.It wasn't until Zhou Wen entered the room and asked the two of them to go out for dinner that the conversation finally ended.Because of Du Weiming's return, today's dinner was extra rich.Zhou Wen heard Wang Wu talk about their general life, and knew that it is impossible to have any delicious food in the army, so he told Renkang that he must make a rich dinner today.

Braised pork in brown sauce, Kung Pao chicken, stewed rabbit meat, steamed dried bamboo shoots with bacon, hot and sour cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and cabbage, shepherd's purse meatballs, and a large pot of fish head tofu soup.Du Weiming was very moved when he saw a table full of dishes.When I came to this world, I have family and friends. This kind of life is really happy, and I am very contented.

"Sit down, everyone. Come on, stop standing."

Usually Xichun and Lianqiu didn't eat at the table, but today everyone came to eat at the table. Wang Wu also went back to the village to pick up Renping and others, and a table was full.Everyone's faces were filled with joy. Du Weiming ate a whole two bowls of rice and drank a bowl of soup, and finally burped. The food at home is delicious.Wang Wu was even worse. He kept his head down and ate hard, while Zhou Wen was serving him vegetables.It took nearly half an hour to eat a meal, during which everyone asked about Du Weiming's life outside from time to time. Everyone was a little worried when they went to the border this time. Now of course, they are really happy to see the young master coming back safely.

After the meal, the doll pestered Du Weiming to tell him stories, so Du Weiming could only sleep with the doll and tell stories.Let's talk about other things tomorrow.He told the doll about border issues, but of course he wouldn't tell him about bloody things.When Wa Wa heard that brother Jing Yuan was so powerful that he could fight ten against one, she was very envious and pestered him to talk more.Du Weiming coaxed the baby to sleep for a long time.Maybe it was because of sleeping in the afternoon, but Du Weiming didn't feel so sleepy at night.Promising to tell Jing Yuan when he came back, Du Weiming began to write to Jing Yuan.

Because this period of time is really spring plowing, and there is a lot of work in the village.Early the next morning, Du Weiming took Wang Wulianda and others back to the village. You must know that this is the busiest season of the year, and the plan of the year lies in spring.Du Weiming has not returned to the village for a long time. Since he opened a shop in the town, the chances of returning to the village have been greatly reduced. In addition, he has been to the border for so long, so he has not returned to the village for nearly a year.

As soon as they arrived in the village, everyone put into intense spring plowing work. Zhou Wen was really smart. He helped Du Weiming buy 5 mu of land in the village a year ago, but considering the manpower problem at home, the 5 mu of land 3 mu of the land is leased to others.For the reason of supplying vegetables for the shop, another 2 mu of land was added this year, so that the family has to plant a total of 12 mu of land, of which 3 mu is still used for growing vegetables, which is exclusively for the needs of the shop.The rest went to rice, corn, and soybeans.After opening the shop, Du Weiming found that the oil at home was gradually running out, and the olive oil alone would definitely not be enough for a year.So Du Weiming decided to try to see if he could produce soybean oil. If he could, this problem would be solved.

When Du Weiming was in the military camp, he wrote a letter and asked Zhou Wen to arrange for someone to pick all the olives from the mountain, dry them and put them in the cellar.One of the reasons why Du Weiming came back this time was to transport these olives to the town.Since the villagers are all engaged in intense spring plowing work, there is not much movement about Du Weiming's return to the village.Everyone knows that Li Er is different now, earning a lot of money.When he was free in the evening, Du Weiming still brought gifts to the village chief, carpenter Zhang, and several elders in the village to hang out with him, and talked about his recent situation.

After staying in the village for more than ten days, when the spring plowing was almost over, Du Weiming took his people back to the town, leaving Lianda, Renping and Ren'an in the village.After more than ten days of tinkering, with the help of Zhou Wen and Wang Wu, Du Weiming finally got the olive oil, soap and body oil ready.When I left last year, I left a batch of body oil and soap for the shopkeeper Fang, and they were all sold out before I came back. Not long after I came back, the shopkeeper Fang came to tell me.Since the moisturizing oil was ready-made, it was sent over quickly. The soap was only made in the past few days, and Wang Wu was sent to the shopkeeper.This is also a small income for the family.

Du Weiming calculated that the main income of the family now is the income from the shop. Of course, the crops in the field, as well as soap, body oil, etc. are included in the account, but because the family has a large population, the expenses are naturally high.If it is possible to make soybean oil, it would be a way to make a fortune.

The development of soybean oil is slower than that of olive oil, but with the previous batch of olive oil as the base, there is enough oil in the store, Du Weiming is not so impatient, and another month has passed when the soybean oil is really squeezed out .Du Weiming asked Renkang to try it for a few days, and found that soybean oil was really good. Although it was not as good as olive oil, it was much better than lard.Moreover, Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to inquire about it. The price of soybeans is still quite cheap. Compared with lard, the price is much lower.It's just because the oil yield of Du Weiming's method is still relatively low, so it can only be used in supply shops for the time being.We have to think of a way to see if we can increase the oil yield, otherwise the oil will be squeezed out, and ordinary people will still not be able to afford it.
