Exile Transformation [Farming]

Shen Yu was not affected, there was nothing to do at home, he basically mixed with Mu Jing, went up the mountain to set traps, what made Shen Yu not so happy was that after the last time he encountered a wolf in the mountain, Mu Jing took him with him. Shen Yu went deep into the mountains.

But that wolf cub is not bad, it has been alive and well for these few days, its eyes have been opened, watery, fluffy, with an innocent face, it almost bleeds Shen Yumeng on the spot.

"Mu Jing, do you want to put this wolf back?" Shen Yu sat on a chair, holding the little wolf cub in his arms, and looked at Mu Jing who was handling the prey in front.

"Not now, I can't live!"

Shen Yu understood what he meant, "Then you said that you can release it after it gets older."

"Depending on the situation, it is generally difficult for people like this to return to the wild."

Shen Yu seemed to have heard people say this, so he didn't worry about it, and looked at Mu Jing, "Why don't you sell such a big roe deer?"

"I won't sell it anymore, keep it for yourself to eat, I'll leave you two legs, and when you leave later, you said it and brought it back!"

"Take it back for what? I don't, my mother has to blame me!" Speaking of this, Shen Yu felt a little wronged. Since Mu Jing and Shen Yu made an appointment, he would ask him to bring something back every now and then, sometimes it was a hare. Sometimes it's a pheasant. When Mrs. Shen sees it, she will always say a few words.

Mu Jing smiled, "Then I'll see you off later."

"Stop it!"

Mu Jing didn't say any more, and concentrated on peeling his roe deer skin. Shen Yu was a bit timid, it didn't look good at all when he peeled the skin, but after the skin was peeled, he felt nothing. This is really a strange reaction.

"You don't sell it, how do you eat such a big one? Can you eat it?" Shen Yu chattered a little when there were people, but after a few minutes, he started chattering again.

"There aren't many. After removing the skin and water, it's about thirty or forty catties."

In this way, it really is!

"Brother Yu, I plan to repair the house."

"Is your house not in good condition? What kind of house are you building?" Shen Yu turned his head and looked it over, feeling that what he said was a bit against his will.This house is considered an old house, it should have been repaired when old man Mu was here, at least 30 years ago, although it was a brick house at the time, after all, he lived in it for so many years, and Mu Jing went out for a while Ten years, during which Mu Xue would come back to have a look and clean it up. Usually, no one would come, but some people wanted to take advantage of this brick house, but Mu Xue and his men were not vegetarians, they all came to the house.After Mu Jing came back, he only repaired it, dragged the tiles back again, and did not repair it.

"Then where are you planning to repair? Are you still here?" Shen Yu asked.

"Repair the village entrance!"

Shen Yu asked curiously, "Why do you want to build the village entrance? Isn't it good here?"

"This side is always too small, and there are bamboo forests in the back. I plan to buy a homestead at the head of the village."

"The head of the village? Where is it?"

"It's near the rotten mud pond, and I plan to buy that rotten mud pond together and plan to use it to grow lotus roots."

There is a rotten mud pond at the head of the village of Shencun, which is about ten acres in size. It is low-lying. It was bought by villagers in the early years to feed fish. However, feeding fish was considered a technical job in ancient times. When it was hot, the fish would turn over the pond. This kind of thing is not easy to deal with. After so many years, the family didn't come back.It has long been said that it will be sold, but it has been many years and it has not been sold. Everyone is not stupid. This land cannot be farmed, and it is not good to feed fish. What are you buying it for?

When Shen Yu heard about planting lotus root, he nodded quickly, "It's okay, lotus root is delicious, stewed meat and bones are delicious even when fried."

Seeing his happy look, Mu Jing felt that this decision was good, but he just thought that lotus flowers were beautiful and planted in the rotten mud pond. Brother Yu would be happy to see him, and he could feed some fish in normal times, and it would be easy to sell in the Chinese New Year.

"By the way, how much did you pay for this place?"

"I haven't gone yet. When I pack up the roe deer, I'll bring two catties to the village chief. By the way, I'll make an appointment for this matter. Before the weather completely cools down, I can start work in time."

"Oh." Shen Yu nodded and asked again, "What about the house on your side?"

"Leave it alone, these bricks can be used to fence a yard or something."

Hearing Mu Jing speak in an orderly manner, Shen Yu realized belatedly, "You have already planned it!"

"Well, the furniture is also agreed to Carpenter Tan. Do you have any requirements, and you can follow them when the house is repaired."

Shen Yu shook his head, just when he was about to say no, he remembered something, so he said, "Dig a well!"

"do you have anything else?"

After asking such a question, Shen Yu really came up with something, "Yes, let's build a bathing place, lay a layer of stones underneath, and then build the hut next door, and build a water pump..." Toilets, this era seems to be Those who don’t have flush toilets can fix the old ones in rural areas!This is simple, Shen Yu knew how to do it after a rough thought.

"What is pumping water?"

Shen Yu rolled his eyes, changed the topic, and asked, "There's no rush, let's go to town tomorrow?"

"Go, I have to order green bricks, tiles, and foundation stones." Mu Jing said the same thing about his plans for tomorrow.

"Then let's go to the kiln by the way!"

"What did you go to the kiln for?" Mu Jing asked.

"There's something going on, and you'll know when the time comes."

"Oh! Alright, tidy up, let's go!" At some point, Mu Jing had already cleaned up the roe deer. He also cut off a leg and two ribs for Uncle Shen. There should be two or three catty look.

"Okay, let's go!" Shen Yu put the wolf cub back into the den, patted the fur on his body, and followed behind Mu Jing.

When Shen Yu and the others arrived, the old man Shen was also there. After asking, it turned out that the boy from the village was going to Fucheng Courtyard for an examination next year. He didn't have enough money and planned to sell a few more acres of land.

"Fengshu has a high chance of being a scholar next year, so I don't want to miss it," said Village Chief Shen.

Speaking of this, Shen Yu remembered that there seemed to be a scholar in Uncle Shen's family. Shen Wangshu, Uncle Shen's youngest son, also passed the Tongsheng exam this year, "Uncle, Brother Wangshu, do you want to take the college entrance examination next year?"

"Go, Wangshu has never had a child's exam, just wanted to be admitted to a scholar in one fell swoop, and I will definitely not miss it tomorrow." Speaking of Shen Wangshu, Uncle Shen's face was full of pride, but he did not forget the business, "Boy Yu, you and What is Mu Jing doing here? Others just bring roe deer meat to your uncle, right?"

Mu Jing said willingly, "I want to buy the rotten mud pond and the few acres above the rotten mud pond."

Old man Shen asked, "The rotten mud pond doesn't produce food, and there are bushes on it, what do you buy it for?"

Mu Jing said his plan, "You can't plant land in the muddy pond, but you can grow lotus root and throw some fish fry. The house at home is too old, so I plan to rebuild it, so I will build it near the muddy pond. No one needs to look at it, and I can kill two birds with one stone. "

"That's okay. Lotus root is a good thing. Even in the town, it sells for three or four yuan a catty. It's more cost-effective than selling vegetables. It's a good deal when you think about it, but now Lannitang belongs to Shen Farich. He wants to sell it, but he has to pay for it." 40 taels of silver, and I won’t sell any less.” Old man Shen changed his style of painting, “Where can you get lotus root seeds?”

You should know that at this time, economic crops like lotus root are not so easy to get, and it takes money to grow.

"I have asked someone to bring the lotus root seeds, and they can be planted when I buy the land."

"Then how much did you spend?"

"60 taels is about the same."

When old man Shen heard this, he didn't say anything at first, but his eyebrows twitched, obviously distressed, and finally he couldn't help but say, "With this money, it's better to buy a six-acre paddy field!"

Village Chief Shen laughed when he heard it, "It's a coincidence that this is not Fengshujia's paddy field, with a total of four acres. Mu Jing, see if you want to buy it together. It's only 40 taels. You must know that Fengshujia's land is very good. By the way, it’s still on that rotten mud pond.”

"I want it!" Mu Jing didn't blink, and didn't think there was any embarrassment at all.

Old man Shen and Uncle Shen looked at each other. It seems that Mu Jing's net worth is indeed quite high. To buy a paddy field and buy a homestead with a rotten mud pond, it would cost seven to eighty taels. , and building a house, judging from the fact that Mu Jing doesn't care at all, his hands are still very easy.

Old man Shen was relieved, seeing his youngest son, he didn't have to worry about finances anymore.

"Then Mujing, take me to see the homestead you selected. Let's make a decision first, and then go to Feng Shu to talk about buying the land."

Mu Jing also meant the same thing, the sooner he settles down, he can start building the house earlier, otherwise he won't be able to start work when the weather gets cold and snow falls.

The four of them went to the rotten mud pond, and Shen Yu also knew where their house would be built in the future. When he saw the land, Shen Yu felt that it was very troublesome. It was all shrubs. If he wanted to build a house, he had to open up wasteland first.

"Will this place be more troublesome?" Village Chief Shen also asked.

"It's not a big deal. This place is easy to clean up. If you invite 80 to [-] people in the village, it will be taken care of within ten days."

"Mu Jing, do you think anyone dares to come to work with you like this? Will you be worried that you won't pay?" Shen Yu asked on a whim.

Mu Jing choked, it seems that this is possible!

"Don't worry, I'll just invite you, don't say too much, our family, your third uncle's house, and Shen Xiang next door, Er Gang, your eighth uncle, fourth uncle's house, uncle, second uncle, ninth master, the total is If you are more than 20, if you invite people with good connections in the village, no matter how you calculate, there will be more than 50 people.”

At this time, Mu Jing felt that there are advantages to having more people.

"Then trouble dad to worry about it!"

"What are you talking about, go to Fengshu quickly, and at least give the land. The land of Fengshu's house is very popular, but now everyone doesn't have 40 taels of silver in their hands, otherwise wait In a few days, it will be almost enough." Originally, old man Shen was quite fond of it, and no one would dislike having more fields. On the contrary, for farmers, the more fields the better.

A few people went to Fengshu's house, his father had already gone, and there was only his mother and his daughter-in-law who had only been married for two years. I heard that she was the daughter of his teacher's college wife in the town. A pair of skillful hands can embroider some embroidery, but it can also subsidize some families.
