Chapter 28 Reclamation

From the autumn harvest to the beginning of the following spring, this period is the slack time for farmers. Except for hunters, there is basically nothing for everyone to do.

Early in the morning, Chen Mo ran to Li Zheng's house after memorizing the book.

"Ah Weng, Ah Weng!" Chen Mo avoided the big dog of Li Zheng's family and was not in the mood to play with the big dog.

"Er Gou, why did you come to my place this early in the morning?" Li Zheng came out with his coat on. The autumn morning was already a bit chilly.

"Aweng, I would like to ask someone to help cultivate a few acres of land. Mom said that she would discuss it with Aweng." After Chen Mo stabilized his breathing, he looked at the situation.

"Create wasteland." Li Zheng put on his clothes, nodded and said, "Are you busy enough to come over?"

The Chen family's land is currently maintained by Chen Mo alone. If he opens a few more acres, Li Zheng is worried that Chen Mo won't be able to bear it.

"I will definitely get it." A happy smile appeared on Chen Mo's face: "I want my mother to live a good life."

"Forget it, if you can find someone to help you drive to the wasteland to the west of your property, how many acres are you planning to open?" Li Zheng looked at the child's smile, felt a little sad for no reason, and nodded. road.

"Three acres." Chen Mo pointed out three fingers.

Three acres is quite a lot. Li Zheng nodded and said, "You can use the oxen and plows here, but you have to feed them to me."

"Thank you Aweng!" Chen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this. Most people can't afford a cow. With this cow, it can take care of a lot of things. At that moment, Chen Mo said: "Aweng, wait a moment, I'll find someone to follow." You borrow the cow!”

After finishing speaking, before Li Zheng could speak, he had already run away in a hurry.

"This kid is so reckless." Li Zheng looked at the direction Chen Mo was leaving, shook his head in amusement, and turned around to go back to the house.

Chen Mo was definitely not allowed to go to the homes of several hunters. Winter is not a free time for hunters. They often go into the mountains to hunt. Chen Mo first went to find Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wu next door. They had a good relationship with each other, and then went to find them again. With Gou Sheng, Gou Wa and his father, and the help of these people, plus the Li Zheng family's cattle, we should be able to reclaim three acres of wasteland this winter.

"Er Gou~" Dalang approached Chen Mo and asked: "My father asked me to ask you, my family doesn't want the food you gave me. When your land is cleared, can you let this cow come over and help my family to clear it as well?" How many acres of land?”

"Okay." Chen Mo thought for a while and agreed, then said: "But I don't have to say anything about this. You have to ask Li Zheng, and Li Zheng gets out of the way before you can open the car."

Isn’t it the king’s land in the world? Land reclamation is not something that can be done just by thinking about it, but Chen Mo doesn’t think it’s a big problem.

"Ergou, we are all going to the city together in two days. Are you going?" After talking about the business, Dalang asked Chen Mo while working.

"Of course I'm going." Chen Mo nodded. He was going to sell some grain, as well as the red wine his mother had made in the past few months, and also buy some meat. In addition, Chen Mo also wanted to try his luck and see if he could He couldn't buy a long bow. Due to constant exercise this year, his strength seemed to have grown very quickly. The short bow could no longer satisfy him. He wanted to draw the long bow.

"Are you taller than before?" Dalang suddenly compared their heights and looked at Chen Mo with some surprise.

"Is there any?" Chen Mo looked at Da Lang blankly, but he did feel that his clothes were much tighter than before.

"It's over, you're sick." Dalang looked at Chen Mo and sighed.

"Hey, it's time for you to grow up at your age. Don't listen to Da Lang's nonsense." Uncle Zhang who was walking aside glared at Da Lang angrily. Chen Mo will be ten years old after the Chinese New Year. At this time, the child is growing up.

When it grows fastest, it can sometimes grow three to five inches in a year.

Chen Mo looked at Dalang speechlessly: "Is growing taller a disease?"

"No, I used to lower my head when I looked at you. Recently, I always feel a little oppressed and uncomfortable. It's still the same as before." Dalang laughed, carried the hoe to the other side, and concentrated on cultivating the land.

The days of reclaiming wasteland were very happy for Chen Mo. Everyone worked together. Because Dalang's family also had to reclaim wasteland, the two families took turns taking care of the food.

In this way, half a month later, several families were preparing to go to the county town together. This time, Li Zheng was not leading the team, but Orion Uncle Yang was accompanying him. Early in the morning, Chen Mo carried a short bow and a stick, and brought himself

The goods to be sold were loaded into Uncle Wu's car, and her mother prepared some food. A group of more than a dozen people and three cars, after receiving the message from Li Zheng, headed for the county seat in a mighty manner.

This time I came to the county town, it was obviously much more lively than last time. After the autumn harvest, people from the surrounding villages in Xiaqiu County came to sell things or buy things for the winter.

"Ergou, why didn't you bring any food?" Dalang and Chen Mo were walking beside the car, looking at the things Chen Mo had brought. There were eggs and nuggets, but no food.

"If you sell it now, those grain dealers will definitely keep the price low and wait until spring starts." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"It's not much different, right? One stone of corn is usually sold for two hundred yuan, and at this time it's at least one hundred and eighty yuan." Dalang thought for a while and said.

"That's a big difference. If you sell ten shi of grain, you can get one shi less. In the past, didn't you wait for the grain merchants to come to the countryside to collect the money?" Chen Mo looked at Dalang in confusion.

"You sold a stone of corn for 300 yuan last time, but everyone felt that they were cheated by the grain merchant. This time, you plan to come to the city and sell it yourself." Dalang glanced at Chen Mo and said.

Last time Chen Mo sold a stone of corn for 300 yuan, which made many people feel a little unfair, so this time they all planned to come to the city to sell it.

"Hey, it was very dangerous last time. That person wanted to lie to me. If it weren't for Uncle Wang, I might have been sold out now." Chen Mo shook his head.

"I've heard that, but as long as you are careful, it will be fine. We can go directly to the post house to sell. Ergou, will you come with me?" Dalang said with a smile.

"It might as well give it a try." Chen Mo thought for a while and said, if he could find a stable way, he could sell his own grain in the future.

Naturally, I couldn't go to the inn last time. This time, because I had someone with me, I wasn't afraid that the inn would harm anyone.

A quarter of an hour later, the Chengnan Posthouse.

"We don't collect grain. If you want to sell grain, just go to the market!" The people at the post house impatiently pushed Chen Mo and his party out.

"This..." Chen Mo and Dalang looked at each other. Sure enough, unless they had some ulterior motive, most post houses would not accept this.

"Let's go to Fangshi." Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhang sighed when they saw this. It seemed that there was no hope this time.

Chen Mo groped his chin. Sure enough, those people deceived him into buying grain at a high price in order to catch him and sell it again. They had no good intentions.

Since you can't find a place with a high price, you can only go to the market to sell it. Although the price is cheaper, it is more convenient. It costs more than ten yuan to stay in this county for one night. There are so many of them, and one night
