Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Zhao Liu knew that they were coming today and didn't go out. Seeing them here, he smiled and enthusiastically invited them into the house.

Lian Fangzhou had already thought through the matter last night, and discussed it with Lian Ze and A Jian on the way, and made some deliberation and supplements. Basically, there will be no more omissions.Talking to Zhao Liu quickly at this time.

Lian Fangzhou intends to hire 30 young and strong laborers and rent twelve cows. When that happens, they will personally watch the people work, take care of lunch, and pay according to the previously stated wages; renting twelve cows includes full ploughs The owner of the rake and hiring of cattle drove two dollars a day per person, but two days later than the workers.As an intermediary, Zhao Liu paid a total of four taels of silver for the introduction. As for the employed workers, he didn't care how he hired them.

She only asked the people Zhao Liu found to work hard.

Introducing such a business, Zhao Liu, as a middleman, should have taken two taels of silver from Lian Fangzhou. Lian Fangzhou gave him double the money. Naturally, he was happy in his heart, and he promised to find it for her. Musicians, please rest assured!

The two parties agreed that Zhao Liu would take the hired man and cattle to Shitouping the day after tomorrow, and the three of Lian Fangzhou left Zhao's house.

After coming out of Zhao’s house, Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, “Let’s go and see the donkey! If it suits you, buy it today! By the way, buy some white noodles, pickles, meat, and soybean paste. I will cook lunch for someone the day after tomorrow! Buy two more A big tin teapot, fill some hot water and send it to the ground."

Making lunch is naturally the most convenient and cost-effective way to make steamed buns and pancakes, but rice or something is too troublesome.

Ajian and Lian Ze naturally had no objection. The three of them asked about the location of the livestock market and passed by.

Even Fangzhou didn't understand the selection of livestock, but he didn't want A Jian but would.

The animal seller saw them and asked if they wanted to buy a donkey called a donkey, and someone who sold the donkey came forward and said.

It is natural to say that it is eloquent and full of lotus tongues, boasting that the donkey of one's own family is called a sky with nothing on the ground.

A Jian didn't speak, and didn't seem to listen to what the seller said, just went to see the donkey.

The look of the donkey seller kept following him, and his complexion changed slightly when he saw the parts he looked at, and he couldn't deceive people!

The three of them made a round in the livestock market, and finally spent twelve taels of silver to buy a very strong donkey.

"Sister, we also have a donkey in our house!" Lian Ze looked too likable, touched the shiny black fur, pulled the long donkey ears, and grinned.

Lian Fangzhou laughed and said, "I can leave it to you and Che'er in the future. There is not much forage in winter. Don't make our donkeys hungry! We will buy two big cattle in a while!"

Lian Ze nodded happily and promised that he would never leave the donkey hungry.

The three of them laughed and went to the dealership to see the car.

The cars in the dealership are available in various styles, and you can buy ready-made cars or customize them.

Lian Fangzhou didn't want to be too troublesome, and there was no need to make it to order, so he bought a car that the fir explained very well for a couple of dollars on the spot.

This car is different from Liu Jia's.Liu Jia’s cart is a van type. The Lian Fangzhou and the others bought this one mainly for the convenience of transporting things in the future. Therefore, it is an open wooden cart, which is more refined and firmer than the manual flat carts in the countryside.

The three of them went to the blacksmith's shop again and ordered some hoes, shovel, shovels, axes, hatchets, sickles, etc., of course, using the best materials.

There is a saying that a worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do his best. The money above cannot be saved, nor should it be saved.

After doing this, the three of them ate lunch in the town, bought noodles, miso and other odds and ends, and went home.

A Jane drove the car very easily. The whip in his hand was raised high and put down gently, but it did not fall heavily on the donkey.The hand holding the rein on the other side is more flexible.

Lian Ze sat beside him, watching with envy.

A Jian smiled slightly and said to him, "I don't have time today. How about I teach you when I look back?"

"Really? Thank you, Brother Ajian!" Lian Ze nodded again and again in surprise and joy.

Back home, Lian Che and Lian Fangqing learned that this was their own donkey and the donkey cart looked happier than Lian Ze. They climbed into the car and sat in the cart for a while and then jumped down. They looked around the donkey and smiled. eye.

After unloading the car, Lian Fangzhou asked Lian Ze to lead the donkey to the backyard to tie it, and even Fangqing and Lian Che followed along with him.

The family hasn’t raised cattle for many years, and there is no shed to close the animals. Lian Ze feels sorry for the donkey again. For fear of freezing at night, he tied it to the corner of the sundries shed against the wall and came back to talk to Lian Fangzhou. Said to build a barn."Otherwise, how can you live so cold in winter?"

Naturally, Lian Fangzhou didn't say it was bad, and said with a smile that he would call someone to pick him up when he was free these days.Not only must it be used, but also a better one. In addition to the animal-related area, there must also be a place for stacking forage and parking the car.

The car was left in the open air, and it broke down quickly even in the wind, rain and sun.

By the way, the sundries shed was rebuilt and strong, and firewood, farm tools, tools, and other miscellaneous things had to be put in place.

Early the next morning, the three Lian Ze brothers and sisters took the donkey and went to graze on the embankment next to the village. Lian Fangzhou didn't stop seeing them smiling so positively, only to wear a few more clothes.

After breakfast, Lian Fangzhou went to the entrance of the village alone.

There is a small stream that surrounds the edge of Dafang Village. The narrowest part is no more than one meter. The shallow stream is filled with a taller stone to cross the river. The widest part is only more than three meters.At the entrance of the village, it made a big bend and flowed along the east.

Just at the arch of this bend, ten meters away from the river beach, is a flat wasteland three to four meters above the creek.

Lian Fangzhou went there for a walk and looked around. This wasteland was about 20 acres, and it happened to be backed by a small hill with many camphor trees and wild magpies growing on the hill.

Entering Dafang Village from the outside and bypassing this hill, you can see the whole picture of Dafang Village. In a sense, it can be said that this hill is the barrier of Dafang Village.

Lian Fangzhou asked, this wasteland is also a land of no owner.

She was thinking about buying the land.

After the cotton is harvested next year, you must find a place to pile it.Where can so many places in that little home be stacked?So a large row of warehouses have to be built here.

In addition to the warehouse, there must be a workshop for processing cotton, a spinning room for spinning cotton yarn, a warehouse for stacking cotton threads, and housing for workers.

If possible in the future, she also wants to build a cotton weaving workshop.

Of course, selling cotton after processing is more valuable than simply selling cotton.However, things have to be done step by step. What she has not yet been able to do is just an idea in her mind, and there is no plan yet.

Just as Lian Fangzhou could see it, she heard someone shouting "Fangzhou!" behind her. She smiled slightly and knew it was Ajian without looking back.
