Lin Anxin then said, "it's quite a difference, but I always feel that farming can't make a lot of money, and I can guarantee that I won't be hungry."
Su Wanping thinks that Lin Anxin is right: "I've calculated it, four Wen a Jin. No matter how high the yield of my thousand mu of good farmland is, it's only 1200 Liang. The early rice is not delicious, and the yield is lower. I heard that one mu can only yield about 150 Jin, and the early rice is even less valuable. Alas, my father said that there will be no more good farmland next year. He wants to buy more dry land to open mulberry ponds."
Lin Anxin felt that sangtang made more money.
"I don't think it's a good account. Five Liang silver per mu of good farmland, and one thousand mu is five thousand Liang. But when the annual income is good, the two seasons of rice add up to only five thousand or six hundred Liang. If sangtang has one thousand mu, I've calculated that if the weather is good, one thousand will have more than four thousand Liang."
In ancient times, the common people living at the bottom of the society wanted money but no money, technology but no technology, culture but no culture. Therefore, everyone agreed that farming was the easiest and most reassuring. Moreover, as the old saying goes, if you have surplus food at home, don't panic.
However, farming is the worst.
"I also think it's better for my uncle to open sangtang next year."
"Listen to my brother, our shop is already on the lower foundation. Before that, he asked people to catch several big cocks from home and go there. He said that we had to sacrifice three animals, hang red silk and blow up firecrackers to lower the foundation."
Lin an thought about it and said with a smile, "it should be the same as when we built the new yard! I don't understand that either. I heard him once with you. "
"Don't worry. You'll have money on hand by then. No, you'll have bonus every month now. In the future, will you buy good land?"
Lin Anxin said with a smile: "why do you suddenly ask this, but I can tell you that I will still buy some, but not too much. I also want to buy dry land to open a mulberry pond. I hope my uncle will not rob me of the land."
"Hey, my father disdains to fight with a little girl. Besides, my father loves you so much." Su Wanping knew that she was joking. She said that it was just a quarrel between little girls.
"By the way, if you really want to open a mulberry pond, my brother won't let you run to the fish pond every day. You are delicate and tender. What if you scratch? It's so easy for my family to raise you to be beautiful. "
Lin Anxin replied, "you're right. I have to think about what to do. Can I hire a long-term worker?"
Su Wanping said: "it's OK. Anyway, it's just the matter of getting rid of the seedlings and the silkworm excrement. I don't need to buy anyone. I think the buyer is always at a loss. By the way, it's said that Deng's aunt thinks the same way. She would rather be busy at home, cooking and washing clothes, than let some more servants wait on her."
In Lin Anxin's memory, although Ji Chunhua is impatient, she really devotes herself to that small family. Every family has to spend money, and she always wants to think of ways to see if she can spend one cent as two.
I never thought that even if the Deng family was rich, she still couldn't change this habit, but she had to praise that Ji Chunhua was hardworking and caring for her family.
"Aunt Deng is used to being diligent and thrifty. I'm afraid I can't change it in my life."
Su Wanping put down the embroidery shed and said, "it has been half a month since my husband came back to Fucheng. I don't know when she will come back."
In fact, Mr. Luo has been teaching them for nearly two years, and he has been teaching them almost. However, the Su family is not such a stingy family. They are willing to spend money. Because there are two little girls in the family, they can't keep them free all the time. Mr. Luo always has a way to keep them at home.
Therefore, the Su family has never asked to dismiss Mr. Luo.
Anyway, Zhang Yulan thinks that the two little girls of her family are well taught by Mr. Luo. It's better to keep their spare energy and teach them until they get married.
Or, maybe, she can have one or two intimate little cotton padded jackets, so that she doesn't have to bother to find a female husband.
Nowadays, good ladies are hard to find.
"Don't worry, let's sneak into the street."
Sure enough, Su Wanping can't sit still.
Lin Anxin blinked, very excited, but said: "no, my aunt is exhausted to take care of Xuan Ge'er every day, and my uncle is busy with autumn harvest. Your brother and my big brother are going to collect ginger outside again."
"So, opportunities are rare." Su Wanping rubs the small handboard and continues to encourage Lin Anxin.
If only she didn't get so excited.
"Well, I'm just tired of sewing this robe." They came and went back and forth to weigh town countless times, and they could find the right door with their eyes closed.
"I haven't seen aunt Tang for some time. I don't know if she has made delicious snacks."
Su Wanping immediately said with a happy smile: "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look. If there is, I'll steal some."
However, when they were carrying snacks to the town, they were blocked at the door by their own girls.
Listen to spring: "girl, where are you going?"
Ai Qing: "girl, please take it!"
Bitao: "girl, we can't climb the wall. My wife said that a girl should be like a girl."Biliu: Star eye. If you squeeze star eye, she wants to go out.
Finally, the four girls were fooled by their little masters and became accomplices together.
Therefore, Lin Anxin deeply felt that this method could last a long time!
In fact, most of the country people are very simple, simple minded, not so much calculation.
Now, for example, Lin Anxin and Su Wanping go out with their girls, and the little old ladies who stay in the village surround them one by one.
"What are the two children of the Su family doing?"
"That's right. You adults are too busy to be dogs now. Don't be wild outside. Go home quickly. In case something happens, all the people in the village will go to the fields. They won't be able to shout everyday."
"Don't play by the water. No one can hear you when you fall into the water."
"Yes, be careful when you walk. I heard that someone in other village was bitten by a mad dog from outside."
...
the little old ladies are very kind and kind-hearted. They have lost most of their teeth. They can't keep the wind shut. They can't even talk, but they are very concerned about the two little girls.
Lin Anxin and Lin Anxin had to laugh all the way. They went out from the Su family to the village and explained to the little old ladies that they would not go to the tree to dig out the bird's nest, nor would they go to the river to fish, nor would they go to the reed beach to roll.
By the way, they both know that they are going to play in town.
Su Wanping is in a good mood, and Lin Anxin has a word, not a word of chat: "peace of mind, my mother said, you give her that what goose egg powder, always easy to use, painted face smooth tender, look white, my mother also said with a smile, this back to good, white cover ten ugly."
"Anyway, I'm too young to use these. I still have a few boxes there. In addition to one for my sister-in-law and second sister, I'll also keep one for sister Wan. I'll ask Tingquan to pick them up and send them to my aunt."
Su Wanping asked: "ah? Don't leave a box for your mother. "
Lin Anxin replied with a smile: "I'm afraid my mother can't accept it for a while, so I won't ask for her scolding."
"Well, I've been harvesting late rice for several days. I've only harvested half of it in this large field." Su Wanping pointed to the busy people.
Lin Anxin frowned and said, "I don't know what happened to my uncle. I don't know whether the people there are good or not. I can't use so many people on weekdays. There are only about ten long-term workers. When I collect the grain, I just hope the more people there are, the better."
"In addition to the tenants, my father said that many people are not willing to rent farmland, so it's better to do some short-term work on weekdays. During the autumn harvest, there are very few people in the town, and those who do short-term work all return to the countryside. As long as they have enough money and enough food, it's good to invite them."
Lin Anxin once again said: "in this way, farming is really the least cost-effective."
Su Wanping also agreed: "it's better to do business quickly."
They went to the town. As expected, most of the shops in the town were closed.
As a matter of fact, the owners of many shops are not businessmen, but farmers. They have a lot of fields at home, and those who are good for their sons to study, and who are exempt from a lot of taxes. Naturally, they have more money on hand, so they have to buy more shops.
Su Wanping looked at the full street is full of loess flying, can not help but sigh: "autumn harvest what, the most boring."
Lin Anxin smiles and says nothing. She proposes to go to Aunt Tang to play. Unexpectedly, she only knows when she goes to xiuzhuang. She also closes the door and asks again. It turns out that xiuniangs have to go home to help with autumn harvest. Although they have to keep their hands, they can also help with cooking without hurting their hands.
After walking around the town, they were really lonely.
Lin Anxin felt a little tired and thirsty, so he urged Su Wanping to go home.
When he got home, Lin Anxin was so thirsty that his eyes turned green when he saw the water. Gulu Gulu drank two large cups of cold tea in one breath.
From time to time, Aunt Chen sends qiao'er to find two people for dinner. After going to the main hall, she knows that Su Yangjiang won't come back for dinner today, and Su junyang and Lin Qingshan don't know when they will come back.
Zhang Yulan said that Su junyang had signed a contract with someone and had to do a lot of ginger candy to send to the city. Therefore, these days, the more he started to be busy, the sooner he went to the far away place, the faster he got home.
Because of the absence of all the men in the family, Zhang Yulan left Aunt Chen, Wu erniang, her son and daughter to eat in the hall.
The rules of the Su family are not strict. They don't break the rules of not talking about food and not talking about sleep. In Zhang Yulan's words, everyone is busy at ordinary times. It's so easy to get together when they eat. If you don't let Xiangqin Xiangqin, it's not bad. It's not an outsider. Why do you break the rules.
What does Zhang Yulan say? Su Yangjiang always nods.
Her mother-in-law said so. Su Yangjiang didn't think there was anything wrong. Just pretend in front of outsiders. There's no need to toss herself half dead.
"Why, do you have chicken soup today?" Lin An's mouth is watering.
Ginseng stewed chicken is very fragrant. She sucked her nose and said with a smile, "it's delicious again."Su Wanping is not lagging behind, and then took a chopstick to eat.
Wu Er Niang served a bowl of Chicken Soup for all the masters in her family, which made her two children each serve two spoons.
Lin Anxin asked Zhang Yulan: "Auntie, our lady has been back to the city for half a month, but there is a letter. Did you say when she will come back?"
