There are also these chickens raised by Lin Xiaoman. They are quite big when you buy them. They can grow taller with their long legs. Although they have an unprecedented coat color, the people in the village just think that Lin Xiaoman’s family has done it.

It's a good thing, so I asked Lin Xiaoman to help get some back.

Lin Xiaoman simply went to the livestock station and bought 500 chicks. There were fewer roosters and more hens. They were all varieties that could guarantee at least two eggs in three days. Once they were raised, one egg a day would not be a problem.

After she brought it back, anyone in the village who wanted to raise a chick came to her house to buy it. One chick cost five cents, but they were all sold out in less than half a day. Some families bought more than a dozen chicks at a time.

Some people who didn't buy some asked Lin Xiaoman to help buy some, and Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse. Some people even asked her to ask if there were any duck seedlings for sale, and they wanted to raise ducks in the river.

Lin Xiaoman was moved after hearing this. There aren't many people raising ducks here, but it's not none.

Ducks are much easier to raise than chickens. You don't have to worry about them when you rush to the river every day. When you come back at night, most people don't prepare vegetables and food for the ducks. They just let them eat the small fish in the river.

Shrimp.

After they are matured, no one needs to drive them. As long as they get up early and open the pen door, the ducks will line up and run to the river, without even needing to herd the ducks.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is that ducks do not lay eggs on time. Free-range ducks must often go to the river to pick up eggs, otherwise they may not lay their eggs anywhere.

But duck eggs are a good thing, and roast duck is even better.

Maybe Hedong Village can unlock a few new delicacies.

In mid-March, almost every household in Hedong Village raised some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep that Lin Xiaoman brought. Lin Xiaoman also purchased a lot of wild vegetables that the villagers went up to the mountains to harvest.

The seedlings ordered by the villagers were gradually shipped over. Lin Xiaoman spent the whole day in the fields instructing the villagers on how to plant. Although he was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, it was inevitable that he was still a little bit blackened by the wind.

When Lu Jin saw Lin Xiaoman again, she was standing on the newly opened land, teaching everyone how to plant potatoes. There were large and small pieces of peeled potatoes with buds in the baskets on the ground, and several women from the village were there.

Use the knife to cut quickly.

These women were all hired by Lin Xiaoman from the city. During the busy farming season, there are not many idle people in the village, but there are many idle women in the city. They can help with a day's work for twenty coins each.<

/p>

The potato pieces with sprouts removed were thrown into a pile, because potatoes with sprouts contained toxins. The staff at the grain planting station repeatedly told her not to eat these potatoes. Lin Xiaoman did not know how strong the toxins were.

I didn’t think about eating it, but planned to use it to make potato starch, which can be used in cooking in the future.

Lin Daqiang has been busier since spring plowing, but the busier he is, the more at ease he feels.

When heavy snow closed the village before, Lu Jin asked the villagers to bring out grains and repay them twice as much when the road was clear. Many families only gave a few kilograms as a token of appreciation. Lin Daqiang's family and several families close to him, on his part,

With his tough attitude, he took out most of the food at home.

Sure enough, after the road was opened, Lu Jin did not disappoint these people. Not only did he return the grain twice as much, even if he borrowed coarse grain at the beginning, all he returned was white rice.

Even because of their performance when the village was closed, as long as they were willing to buy wasteland, they were given priority, and the land measured was enough to cover an acre.

This made those people who were reluctant to take out the food at home regret it, but it was too late. They were too careful and did not believe that Lu Jin would really do what he said.

Lin Daqiang became more and more convinced that there would be meat to eat with Lu Jin. Now that the village was busy with planting, Lu Jin came to the village to inspect, and he naturally followed him at full speed.

Lu Jin stood behind Lin Xiaoman and learned to plant potatoes, and Lin Daqiang also followed suit.

There are many families in the village who want to grow potatoes. After learning from Lin Xiaoman for a while, they learned it and went home to work on their own fields. Lu Jin also rolled up his trouser legs to go to the fields to help.

Lin Xiaoman's family has a lot of land, and she plans to use five acres of land to grow potatoes.

Originally, she thought about driving the donkey to plow the land and plant the land one by one. Now that Lu Jin is helping, Lin Xiaoman did not refuse, so she thought about driving the donkey herself and letting Lu Jin help hold the plow.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jin held the plow very well, and the two of them cooperated very well.

Lin Daqiang couldn't stand watching, so he rolled up his trouser legs to help. Lin Xiaoman asked him to drive the donkey, and he took a hoe and followed the plowed field, while Lin Erhu followed Lin Xiaoman with a basket of potato sprouts.

Plant later.

Place a potato sprout, cover it with some soil with your feet, and then lightly step on it to plant it.

Fertilizer has been spread on the land before plowing, and it can be irrigated later by diverting some river water from the river.

Because he was busy, Lin Xiaoman didn't have time to make delicious food for Lu Jin. At noon, he asked Lin Erhu to buy two bags of steamed buns. She also made a large bucket of seaweed and egg drop soup, and everyone squatted on the ground to eat it.

of.

Lin Xiaoman couldn't believe it when he saw Lu Jin dressed in coarse cloth and a broken straw hat, holding a bowl in his right hand and a bun in his left hand. One trouser leg was high and the other was low. His feet were covered in mud and his face was very tanned.

Is he really the cold-faced noble man she met before?

If she doesn’t recognize it, she will believe it even if someone tells her it’s a village brat like her.

Lu Jin ate eight large steamed buns in a row and drank a large bowl of egg drop soup. He finally slowed down his eating speed, but still ate slowly.

He wanted to come to Lin Xiaoman's house in Hedong Village to eat delicious food, but he hadn't eaten early in the morning. Who knew that when he arrived in Hedong Village, he realized how busy Lin Xiaoman was, so he didn't have the nerve to say that he hadn't had breakfast yet.

After another whole morning of work, he was already so hungry that his heart was pressed against his back.

But the buns taste really good, the fillings are big, and they are full of soup. The dough of the buns is not only white, but also soft and sweet. It is the best he has ever tasted. Even the chefs in the palace may not be so skilled.

It’s completely ready to open a store.

Until he started to burp after eating, Lu Jin still ate two more, which made Lin Xiaoman feel inferior. She obviously had a big appetite. When she was at Mrs. Lin's house, she was often disliked by her. This time

How can Mr. Lu eat more than she does? Isn’t it said that rich people eat less?

It seems that he is tired from working.

After eating the steamed buns, I ate for a while and then started my afternoon work again.

Recently, many people in the village have been reclaiming wasteland. The Xu family, who were originally exiled, wanted to help Lin Xiaoman's family farm land, but it was too late to open up wasteland, so Lin Xiaoman asked them to open up wasteland first.

Peng Guan sent several people to watch over there all the time. It was only during lunch that they heard that the adults were coming to the village and they rushed over. They saw the adults busy in the field holding the plow. They were all frightened, fearing that the adults would blame them.

If you don’t help Lin Xiaoman’s family with their work, hurry up and grab the work from Lu Jin.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jin was not idle after being robbed of his job, and went to Lin Xiaoman's house to bring another donkey over to plow the land.

With the help of these official servants, more than five acres of potatoes were planted in one day. Although Lin Xiaoman was happy, she did not have the energy to cook anymore after a tiring day, so she could only treat everyone to a good meal when she was not busy.<
