This time there were two people driving over, plus Yang Hongwen. The three of them put the stone mill into the west room. Looking at the clean room, they felt even more sorry for the girl.
"Girl, go find some corn kernels and let's try this stone mill.
Also, I’ll make this push handle longer for you to save energy. How can you, a child, be so energetic?”
"Thank you, uncle."
Su Yuanyuan is truly grateful. There are still many good people in the world.
He brought over half a bag of corn kernels and said, "Uncle, let me push it. I'll try it."
Not to mention that it is really lighter than the stone mill in the village. But it is also because this millstone is much smaller than the millstone in the village.
"It's easy to use. I don't have any trouble pushing it."
The mason smiled and nodded. "As long as it's easy to use, that's all. The pig trough has been put away for you."
Su Yuanyuan gave the remaining twenty yuan to someone. The mason took a garlic mortar from the front and gave it to Su Yuanyuan, "Little girl, keep this for your use."
It was just because I felt sorry for her that I gave this to her.
Sun Yuanyuan thanked him profusely, and she really felt that this stonemason was a good person. When there is Gel in the future, there may be another stone mill, and it cannot be the same one used for grain. But that is a matter for the future.
After seeing them off, Yang Hongwen told her that he would bring her corn kernels in the evening.
Yang Hongwen thought not to ask this girl for money yet, as she probably didn't have anything left in her hands.
But Su Yuanyuan still gave the fifty yuan to Yang Hongwen. Every family has to live, right?
"Uncle, I want to get small fish, shrimps, and gullah for the piglets to eat. How do I get them?"
"Didn't you see that there are ground traps made of tree branches for sale at the market? They are used to catch small fish and shrimps. But you must be careful, people drown in the reservoir every year."
However, I also thought that this girl would not sink to the bottom in the water, so I felt that this girl should not be in danger.
"Can you feed these to pigs?"
"Wouldn't you know if you try it? I think it is possible." Of course it is. In later generations, whether it is feed for pigs, chickens or fish, there will be fishmeal in it.
The weather is still good enough to dry it now, but waiting for summer is definitely not possible. When the time comes, it will be stored in a space and cooked every time for the pigs to eat. This way, they will definitely not get sick.
"Uncle, I want to buy chickens. I have never eaten eggs. Is there anyone who comes to the village to sell chickens?"
"Yes, but you'd better sell it in the village, that way you can make a living easily."
"Uncle, I want to buy twenty chicks. It would be nice to have geese. They can also look after the house. Even the ducks don't need to be fed."
Yang Hongwen smiled. "Is there anything you don't need to feed?
Old Chen’s family has them all, I’ll order them for you, twenty chickens, how many ducks? How many geese?”
"Twenty ducks and five geese will be enough." But I didn't dare to ask for more geese. They were very expensive. I had raised them when I was a child in my previous life.
"Okay, just wait and I'll bring it to you when the time comes."
Su Yuanyuan thanked Yang Hongwen. This saves her time. She has to go to the next big fair and buy as many cages as she wants. Only sheep and geese are not eaten. There is still a lot of demand for pigs, chickens and ducks.
of.
I'm not particularly hungry or tired today, so I just grind cornmeal and don't have to winch anything out of the skins.
Now Su Yuanyuan feels that she is particularly motivated. She was just panting by herself, not even a mouse. Now that she is better, she may even become a big farmer.
Thinking beautifully, I pushed the stone mill around and around. It suddenly occurred to me that I could try it with a sheep.
So I brought in the ewe, yoked it, and let it pull me along. Not to mention, this was really good.
Half the bag of corn was ground, "You must be tired, I'll bring your son in to work."
This big ram is already very strong. He is not smart enough, so he does not do as well as the ewe. However, he is strong and he got used to it after a while.
Su Yuanyuan smiled and thought that she was really smart. However, she thought that the TV shows she had seen before were all made with little donkeys, but they always covered the eyes of the little donkey so that it would not faint, so Su Yuanyuan also found herself.
Put the blindfold used before on the big ram.
This is very nice, and you don’t have to work hard in the future. Just put the corn kernels on the side and collect the cornmeal.
I ground a bag of corn kernels, which I could eat for a while, so I used the space to collect them and put them in a big vat in the east room where I lived. I still lacked a big vat. How could I harvest the grain in the future?
You have to put some outside. Otherwise, you won't be able to attract mice.
It would be great if I could raise a cat. But just think about it, if there is a famine in the future and people don’t have enough to eat, they will be afraid that their cats will be eaten by others.
It would be better not to raise it at all. It will make you sad when the time comes.
At night, I take a shower in the space and lie down on the bed after eating. Although I am still young, I still have backaches, so lying on the warm kang is very comfortable.
In fact, this was also the reason why she ended up living in the mountains. Although it was warm in the city, the bed was not as comfortable as a heated bed.
I finished the remaining work in the sweet potato field the next morning, so I could feel a little more relaxed now.
Thinking of Hu Chunhua's care for me, I went to her field with a hoe.
They are also working fast, and they will probably finish shoveling the grass for the second time in two days.
"Yuanyuan, why are you here?"
"Auntie, I've finished all the work at home. Come here and help you do some more."
"I don't need you, it's almost here. You'd better go and plant vegetables quickly." Hu Chunhua said, winking at Su Yuanyuan.
Su Yuanyuan understood, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I haven't finished planting vegetables yet. Auntie, just call me if you have any work in the future."
After Su Yuanyuan left, her two sisters-in-law asked, "Sister-in-law, why don't you use this girl?"
"Don't you all think she is unlucky? If she really comes to our house, I can't bear it."
The two sisters-in-law were so embarrassed that they stopped talking. But they were unhappy because with one more person to work, they could work less.
Is it great to be the women's director? But they really don't dare to openly offend this sister-in-law.
When he gets angry, he gets angry at the children, "You see, everyone has already finished their work, why are you so lazy?"
Yang Xue curled her lips. In fact, they were the two laziest. How dare you criticize others? How shameless.
But I just think about it in my heart and don't dare to express it. After all, I am still an elder.
After Su Yuanyuan got home, she soaked the seeds of Japanese melons, pumpkins, and winter melons in Lingquan water. A lot of these have been planted. But there are too many open mouths at home. It is better to plant more seeds.
I took a nap after lunch today, and in the afternoon I took the soaked seeds and planted them in the unopened ground.
I'm thinking about opening it up here, even just planting cabbage and radishes. Then I'll collect it and keep it to exchange for money later. Anyway, I have nothing to do these days.
