Chapter 185: sign

Night incense is a smelly thing to the people in the city, but it is a good thing to the peasants.

The people who pour Yexiang have two incomes. They pour Yexiang for people in the city at a price of five cents per barrel. No matter how many barrels they bring, they will be paid at this price, and they will be sold to farmers for one cent per barrel, but It is scattered. If you want a large quantity, the price can be lowered. For example, last time, when my aunt went to buy it, the price was reduced to one cent. This time, the Sun family can reduce the price to one cent or even lower.

When    pulled the bucket to receive it, Mu Yangling deeply felt that it was not easy for everyone, especially her. She could still smell the stench after three days.

Mu Yang Lingqing went back with a face, her aunt knew that little girls love cleanliness, so she said: "When your brother is older, I will take him there. You are a girl and you can't do this kind of thing all the time."

"Do you think my brother's little arms and legs can be pulled?" Mu Yangling planned to pick some pomelo leaves and come back to take a bath, "but don't worry, if the rabbit-raising thing can be stabilized, maybe next year our family will get rid of it. You don’t need to buy Yexiang anymore. Rabbit dung is also a good thing. You see, how long has it been? I’ve cleaned up a lot outside. If this rabbit can be raised on this scale until next spring, our family will not only have basic fertilizers and top dressings. Now, maybe there will be a lot left to support."

Auntie snapped her fingers and said, "Fan Gongzi's caravan has been going south for seven or eight days, right? I don't know where it went? Can the things you make really sell?"

Mu Yangling has half confidence, the rest depends on Fan Zijin's ability, she can't do business, how can she control it?

Now all she can control is her own plots of land, and strive to make them fruitful.

Mu Yangling carried the iron plow and went with his aunt to fertilize the wheat field. After they had topped up all the 72 acres of wheat, the rice could be topdressed.

This is much simpler, just drain some water, spread the prepared fertilizer into the fields, and wait for the next rain to fall.

Mu Yangling and Ma Liu's one day's work was done.

Then there are corn topdressing and weeding ridges. There are only two steps, as long as the fertilizer is applied to the roots of the corn, and then iron plows are used to plough the ridges. Better absorption, although it is more tiring than top dressing of wheat, but it is much simpler because it is only 28 acres. Mu Yangling and her aunt have been busy for six days to finish it.

It was already mid-April. When my aunt went to the wheat field to see the growth of the wheat, she realized that it had only rained twice since the wheat was planted. It hasn't rained for a month. This is only in previous years. At least, there must be two rains from mid to late March?

Ma Liu looked up worriedly and glanced at the bright sun in the sky, feeling even more ominous in his heart.

Obviously, it is not only Ma Liu who is worried about this. The people who are used to farming are more or less worried. Seeing that the fat has been falling for more than ten days, and still can't see the shadow of the rain, Liu Daqian personally came to find it. Mrs. Ma Liu said, "Sister, take A Ling and start watering the ground tomorrow."

Ma Liu hesitantly said: "Wait a little longer, our family has opened this hole, I'm afraid it will start to grab water."

"Can't wait, didn't you see that the river has gone down? Tonight our Liu family started to fetch water for watering. If you go to your house tomorrow, it's not too early. It's my Liu family who started it."

Ma Liu suddenly stopped talking.

Liu Daqian got up and said, "That's it, you all have a good night's sleep tonight."

Ma Liu hurriedly stopped him, took half a rabbit from the kitchen and put it in his hand, "Take it back and give the child a toothbrush, and I'll go into the city to buy more wooden barrels in a while, don't worry, in this city No one in Gutun dares to bully the Mu family."

Liu Daqian nodded, and added: "Although Shishi is capable, he is not at home after all. If you have any trouble, ask someone to call us. Chaoxi Village is not far from here, and there are many people in our Liu family."

"Understood, let's go back."

Ma Liu sent him away, turned around and went into the house to get the copper coins that he had saved in the past two days and went to the city to buy two pairs of wooden barrels.

Mu Yangling didn't know anything about this. He was still watching his own rabbits in the pastoral area. The rabbits he caught have been kept much more docile, because the more than 60 acres of land have been netted, and there is water dug outside. Gou, Xiuhong is not worried about the rabbits running away or burrowing to escape, they will be released every night, and the next morning will come to drive the rabbits in.

Because rabbits are active at night and sleep most of the time during the day, there will be more time for Xiuhong, and there is no need to prepare a lot of pasture. Just go and see where the pasture is eaten by the rabbit, sow some seeds. , or take out the rabbit who didn't want to go back to the shed last night, and throw it back into the shed. Now she is very proficient at this job, even more skilled than Mu Yangling.

There are already more than a dozen rabbits in the shed with bloated stomachs, and they should be able to give birth soon. This is good news for Mu Yangling and Xiuhong, because it means that the next generation of rabbits is guaranteed. .

When it got dark, Mu Yangling and Xiuhong let the rabbits out, and watching them excitedly ran into the grass and disappeared, Xiuhong clapped her hands and said, "Cousin, let's go back."

Mu Yangling nodded, and He Xiuhong crossed the ditch from the wooden planks they had built up, pulled the planks away, and then got up and left.

"Cousin, you said that our rabbits are here, how come no one comes to steal them? I was worried before that I couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect a rabbit to be lost."

"Everyone knows that this rabbit was raised for the little general and Mr. Fan. The camp of the fifth battalion is there. Who would dare to steal this after eating the ambitious leopard?"

In fact, this also has something to do with Mu Yangling rest assured to sleep at home. Everyone sees that the Mu family is not worried that the rabbit will be lost, and they dare not come to steal it, for fear that someone is ambushing in the pasture, and the little general will catch him as soon as he makes a move. Got it right.

The two cousins ​​returned home, Shu Wanniang had already prepared the food and was waiting, Xiulan was taking care of Bosi and Kejia, Bo Wen was doing her homework with the lights, Mu Yangling looked around and asked, "Where's my aunt?"

"Your aunt is in the house, go and call her to eat." Shu Wanniang brought out the dishes and said, "Your aunt has something to tell you later, hurry up and eat."

After the meal, my aunt gathered the whole family and said, "I will start watering the wheat tomorrow, Xiuhong and Xiulan will both go, and I will water the first-class ground and the medium-sized ground first, A Ling, no one will be there tonight. Go to bed late and get up early tomorrow morning."
