MTL - The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn-Chapter 21 harvest vegetables, burn wasteland

  Chapter 21 Receiving vegetables and burning wasteland

After Ah Qing and Laidi came back, the two families started to eat. Liu Changmin looked at a large pot of fried hare with peppers, as well as fried vegetables and fish soup on the table, smiled and sighed, "Oh! What should I do if I'm not used to eating at home?"

   Li Yu laughed after hearing this, "Uncle, you can rest assured that there are plenty of hares on the mountain, there are several in one nest!"

  Liu Changmin smiled cheerfully, "Okay, then I'll open my stomach and eat it."

  Laidi looked at Li Yu and asked, "Cousin, can you help me get some live hares back, I want to try raising rabbits myself."

   Li Yu readily responded, "Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the bushes behind the house and wrap a few of them with ropes and come back for you to raise."

   After eating, Li Qing did his homework. Li Yu and Li Mei took off the chili handles, cleaned them, and poured them into bamboo flats to dry on a bamboo rack.

Li Yu took the cowpeas out and poured them into a wooden bucket. He scooped a pot of warm water from the pot and soaked them. Everyone removed the cowpeas that were rotten and had bug eyes. Li Qing also came to help after he had done his homework. Working hard, several people picked all the cowpeas, cleaned them, and hung them on the bamboo plaque.

  Things are almost done, so I cleaned up, and after taking turns washing up, they went back to the house and went to sleep.

   Sisters Li Yu and Zhao Di slept on the same bed. Li Yu thought that fortunately several of them were thin, but they didn't feel crowded, otherwise it would be really unbearable on such a hot day.

After Li Yu fell asleep, he went into the room to check and found that the things inside were classified and stored, including two wild boars, six roe deer, nine wild goats, more than twenty hares, pheasants, and a few turtledoves and Wild ducks, the money from selling prey and wolfberry, plus those from Zhang's family, there are already more than 200 taels.

  Li Yu came out of the space, squinting and thinking that when the millet is harvested, he still needs to buy more coarse grains and grains that are resistant to hunger and store them.

   Li Yu woke up the next morning and saw that the Zhao Di sisters were still sleeping. After Li Yu got up lightly, he took a rope and a machete and went to the bushes in the back mountain.

   Walking into the forest, Li Yu laughed as soon as he stepped on the soft soil in the forest. Now there is no need to worry about fertilizers. There is natural organic fertilizer in the forest. I found a few places to lay down the noose, and when I turned around and came out of the woods, I found more than a dozen oleifera trees on the road.

   Li Yu sighed in his heart. It was the sesame oil tree that he saw his grandmother picked when he was a child in a previous life, and there are more than a dozen trees here. Now you don't have to worry about bathing and washing clothes.

Li Yu exercised in the woods for a while, and then returned home after playing two sets of boxing. When he got home, everyone woke up. Li Qing stood at the door with a book and read aloud to the rice field. Cook.

  Li Yu took a look at the wild beans soaked in the bucket. When he picked them up, he saw that the skins of the beans had swelled. He sat down on a bench and started peeling the skins.

After the beans were swollen, the skin fell off with a gentle rub with his hand. Li Yu took a big, quick action and peeled it out of a pot. After eating, Li Qing also went to school. Li Mei and his wife asked Li Yu to collect it at home. Cai, he and Liu Changmin took a **** and a sickle and were about to go to the wasteland behind the house to open up wasteland.

  Li Yu quickly stopped the two of them, "Aunt, when will you and my uncle mow such a big piece of weeds? Today, there is no wind at all for Zhao Di to watch at home. I will go with you. I have a way to clean up those weeds."

  Li Mei looked at Li Yu's confident look, and said with a smile, "Okay! Aunt, see what you can do."

Li Yu picked up the **** and Li Mei and his wife went to the wasteland at the back of the house, and drew five feet wide around the wasteland, pointing to the drawn area and saying to Li Mei and Liu Changmin: "Aunt, you and uncle put the weeds around you. , and cut it according to the position I marked."

  Li Mei and Liu Changmin nodded and bent down to cut. Li Yu took a **** and dug a fire barrier from the middle of the wasteland.

   Digging halfway through, Lai Di ran and said that someone had brought vegetables and peas. Li Mei connected the **** in Li Yu's hand, "Yu'er, hurry back and leave it to me first."

  Li Yu pointed to the square he had drawn, and warned, "Aunt, you cut it according to what I have drawn and I will collect it and come here."

   "Come on!" Li Mei responded with a smile, Li Yu quickly ran back home and saw a few women standing in the yard carrying peppers and cowpeas, "I'm sorry aunties, I kept you waiting for a long time."

   "It's okay, I'm not busy now." A woman answered cheerfully.

"Zhao Di, look at me and teach you." Li Yu took the steel scale in Zhao Di's hand, and while weighing, taught Zhao Di to recognize and settle accounts, and then weighed cowpeas, kohlrabi, peppers, and peas brought by several people. Later, Zhao Di also learned.

  Li Yu paid the money, and when the women saw that they could really sell the money, they all happily returned with baskets and bamboo baskets.

  Zhao Di pointed at the peeled hudou, which were washed and left to dry, and said, "Cousin, do you want to dry the hudou after you've peeled it?"

   "No, you go and take out the bamboo flat."

After Zhao Di heard it, she took the bamboo flat. Li Yu went to the house and took out the pumpkin leaves that Li Mei brought back. The two poured the bean curd into the bamboo flat. Li Yu spread the watercress evenly, and then put the pumpkin leaves. Zhang Zhang covered the bean curd and put it on the bamboo rack in the wing room.

  Zhao Di looked at Douban covered with pumpkin leaves, and looked at Li Yu puzzled, "Cousin, if you cover it like this, it will be damaged?"

   "No, I'm fermenting. After a few days of white hair growing on Douban, I can start making Doubanjiang."

  Zhao Di felt that she still didn't understand, so she nodded obediently, "Cousin, go get busy! I'll clean up the ones I just collected at home."

After Li Yu came down, he went from the backyard to the wasteland with Li Mei and his wife to cut the isolation tape out. Li Yu took out the fire book and prepared to set it on fire. When Li Mei saw it, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped Li Yu, "Yu'er, This is unacceptable, and it will be troublesome if it ignites."

  Li Yu pointed at the isolation belt and smiled: "Aunt, there is no wind at all today. We even cut the isolation belt and the fire won't burn."

   "Really?" Li Mei and Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu suspiciously, and Li Yu nodded solemnly, "If you are worried, just go to the forest with your hoes and watch!"

   Li Mei and Liu Changmin hurriedly ran towards the forest. Li Yu lit the fire and ignited the weeds. Once the hay was lit, the hay lit up.

After the fire reached the isolation zone, the fire didn't go any further. Only then did Li Mei and Liu Changmin feel relieved and ran over and said with a smile, "Yu'er is a good way, the weeds will be burnt up in a while, and even the seeds of the grass will be burnt clean. Grass ash can also fertilize the land.”

Li Yu told the two of them: "Aunt, if you want to burn the wasteland in the future, you must first cut the isolation belt. It is better to cut the isolation belt wider. You must choose a windless day to burn, and people must stay there just in case. ."

Li Mei and his wife responded quickly, Li Yu waited to burn the remaining weeds, and said to Li Mei: "Auntie is going to the market tomorrow, let's go buy a cow and a trolley back, and then buy the plowshares and rakes, It will be used later.”

   After listening, Liu Changmin persuaded: "Xiaoyu, in my opinion, let's forget it! A cow costs at least ten taels, and a plowshare and a rake cost another four or five taels. We just need to put in more effort."

   "Uncle, these things can't be saved, oh! You need earthenware pots to make pickles. Do you know where there are earthenware kilns for making earthenware pots?"

   "The earth kiln, Dongshan Village has it, how old do you want it?" Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu and said.

  Li Yu thought for a while, "Let's first buy twenty sauce jars with a 50-pound jar, ten with a 100-pound jar, and a hundred small jars with a 1-pound jar."

  Li Mei was worried that Liu Changmin wouldn't be able to bargain the price honestly, "Yu'er, let's talk to the boss about the price of buying so much. Your uncle is honest, let me accompany your uncle!"

   Li Yu responded with a smile, "Okay, let's go with your uncle!"

  The three returned home and Zhao Di had already made lunch. After Li Qing came back and had dinner, Li Yu gave the money to Li Mei and his wife and went to Dongshan Village with Li Qing.
