Chapter 8 Fertilizing with Manure
Chen Xiaomei did not answer. She was thinking: What should I do if there is no chicken dung or cow dung? In a flash, she thought of her own hut. She thought about using the dung from her own hut. The raw materials might be better.
!
Then he said to Luo's mother: "Mom, we have finished this. Now go home and get all the dung in the latrine into the ground."
When Luo's mother heard that she wanted to put all the excrement into the ground, she immediately stopped working and said to Chen Xiaomei: "Xiaomei! You really don't know how to farm! Why are you putting all this excrement into the ground?"
What? It stinks, can the crops grown be eaten? Wouldn’t it all stink? By then it will stink, who will buy our rice!"
Chen Xiaomei had a dark look on her face. She didn't want to explain, but she had to.
So he said to Luo's mother: "Mom, this is what I was taught. I will give it a try. You don't know that our dung can make the land fertile and the rice will grow well."
Luo's mother said, "I've never heard of it. Can rice grow well with this dung?"
Chen Xiaomei said: "Mom, you don't have to worry about this, I will do it myself."
Chen Xiaomei worked hard all day and was half exhausted. Look at the five acres of land, only one acre has been cultivated. So Chen Xiaomei thought to herself: It would be great if we could hire workers! But if we hire workers, Luo's mother will definitely not agree.
!
Chen Xiaomei muttered: Tomorrow I'm going to a restaurant in town to teach new dishes. I didn't make it today. I'll go tomorrow and see if I can get some money.
The next day, Chen Xiaomei went to the town early in the morning. By the time she reached the town, half an hour had passed.
She went to Liu's Restaurant and saw that there were more people than the last time she came there. Last time it was packed, but this time the queue was very long. This is really the time to make a fortune!
Liu Wangcai saw Chen Xiaomei coming and said to her: "Madam of the Luo family, come here."
When Chen Xiaomei saw this situation, she said to Boss Liu: "This business is really good!"
Liu Wangcai said: "Thanks to you, you see my business now has queues every day!"
Chen Xiaomei said: "Don't worry, things will get better in the future."
After saying that, Chen Xiaomei went to the kitchen to teach two new dishes. Now he is teaching new dishes faster and faster.
After the lesson, I went to see Liu Wangcai. Boss Liu said: "I just did the calculations and this is the dividend for you."
After saying that, he brought the account book over and gave her a wallet.
Chen Xiaomei said to Liu Wangcai: "I just took 40 taels from you the day before yesterday, and today you want to pay me dividends again. Could it be that you forgot the 40 taels?"
Liu Wangcai said: "Haha, the lady of the Luo family is really good at joking. I remember, the current dividend is to remove the 40 taels. After removing the 40 taels, I can still give you a dividend of 30 taels."
Chen Xiaomei did not expect that she would earn 70 taels of silver in these three days.
She thought: This is just the beginning, and she will earn more in the future. These 70 taels of silver can provide enough food and clothing for now, but it will not be enough if she wants to do big things in the future!
After taking the money and saying goodbye to Boss Liu, she went to the town to buy some cornmeal and millet. She thought to herself that after living here for so many days, the brown rice she ate every day would cut her throat.
I saw a meat stall again and planned to buy some meat. Then I thought that Luo's mother would definitely talk to her again when I got home. Just as I was hesitating, I saw a pile of big bones piled next to me. After observing for a while, I found that no one wanted it at all.
These big bones. She secretly thought that stewing bone soup would not be worse than eating meat!
He asked: "Boss, how can I sell these bones?"
The boss saw someone asking about the bones. He was puzzled for a while. You must know that these bones are usually thrown away and no one buys them.
However, he quickly reacted and said, "How much do you want?"
Chen Xiaomei pointed at the pile and asked, "How much do they all cost?"
The boss said: "If you want them all, just give me eight cents!"
When Chen Xiaomei heard that it was much cheaper than meat, she agreed. Then she bought some pastries for Luo Wenhai and Luo Yumian, and hurried home.
After returning home, Luo's mother saw the things she bought and said to Chen Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, why did you buy so many things again? It's such a waste of money. Why did you buy a bunch of big bones? Is there too much money and no place to spend it?
?Can you eat big bones? I’ve never seen anyone buy big bones!”
Chen Xiaomei said: "That's because they don't know how to eat. I'll make big bone soup later. It'll be delicious! I bought these for Wen Hai and Yu Mian. Look at their sallow little faces!"
Wenhai and Yumian were very happy when they saw the cakes. When Luo's mother heard this, she looked at her child again and felt that the child was really suffering. She said nothing more.
Chen Xiaomei went to the kitchen to stir-fry vegetables and stewed bone soup. When it was time to eat, Luo Wenhai and Luo Yumian were eating delicious food.
Luo's mother said: "Xiaomei, I didn't expect you could make this big bone so delicious. I really underestimated you." A rare smile appeared on her face!
Chen Xiaomei saw Luo's mother happy and said to Luo's mother: "Mom, we will find some people in the village to help us fertilize the land tomorrow. After fertilizing, we will renovate it. After the renovation, we will dig some trenches next to it.
.We can’t do it ourselves.”
When Luo's mother heard that she was looking for someone, she said: "You are still looking for someone? The landlord's family is looking for someone. We are not landlords. If we are looking for someone, wouldn't we make others laugh!"
Chen Xiaomei said: "What's the joke? We can't do it ourselves. Look at our family, old and young. We have to rely on ourselves. When will we be able to finish it? By then the sowing season has passed, and we still have to do it."
If we haven’t finished it yet, the loss will be huge! If we find someone now, we can finish it in one day, and we won’t delay planting crops after finishing it!”
After saying that, he took out the 30 taels of silver and continued: "Look, I earned another 30 taels of silver today. I spent less than one tael of silver on meat and vegetables. So how much can we spend if we hire someone?"
Where's the money? If the crops are delayed, it will be a big loss!"
Luo's mother was very happy when she saw that Chen Xiaomei had brought back another 30 taels of silver, but she still refused to hire workers.
When Chen Xiaomei saw that Luo's mother did not agree, she said nothing more.
On the second day, Chen Xiaomei and Luo Mu were working in the fields, and Yu Mian and Wen Hai also went to the fields to help.
Mother Luo felt very sad when she saw Yumian, a little girl who was just 5 years old, working so hard.
Luo's mother said: "You two, please stop doing this."
Luo Wenhai had a stubborn temper. Seeing how hard his mother and sister-in-law were working, Luo Wenhai refused to listen. Luo Wenhai usually didn't do anything, but today he worked with a shovel all morning and his hands were blistered several times.
