As soon as Bai Erlang left, Bai Shanbao said to Manbao: "One pear can bear many, many fruits. Just plant three of them. Give me the remaining eleven to plant other fruit trees."
Man Bao was asking Ke Ke about the fruit trees that could be grown here. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "No, it seems that jujube trees can be grown here. I want to plant jujube trees."
The main reason is that red dates are very useful. They have appeared in medical books more than once. She thinks they are much better than pears and apples.
Bai Shanbao didn't expect that Manbao didn't agree, so he puffed up his cheeks for a moment.
There were not many fruit seedlings that Mr. Bai could find. Seeing the three children chattering and wanting to plant this and that, he couldn't help but said: "Okay, okay, you have to think about what can and cannot be planted here."
Sow whatever you want, and don’t think about sowing anything.”
Bai Shanbao: "Well, uncle, what do you think we can grow here?"
Mr. Bai counted them on his fingers and said, "The apples, peaches, oranges, and cherries you mentioned are all fine. There are also pears and dates. In addition, there are loquats and plums. You can choose for yourself."
The three children's eyes met, and Man Bao said: "A tree can bear many fruits, we can plant each one."
Bai Shanbao counted the species and said: "There are eight species, so five of each species should be enough for us."
Mr. Bai: ...So you plant fruit trees not to make money, but to satisfy your own appetite?
Bai Erlang agreed to the distribution plan after hesitation. He muttered, "If you had said it earlier, there would be no need to argue yesterday."
The key is that they didn't know yesterday that Mr. Bai could get so many kinds of fruit trees.
The three children looked at Mr. Bai together, their eyes sparkling, "These fruit trees must be available for purchase, right?"
Mr. Bai looked expressionless in the face of their doubts, "I will try my best."
This is certainly not difficult for him, and the quantity is not large, just five of one kind of fruit tree.
So Bai Shanbao gave an order, and Bai Zhuangtou began to look for a suitable place to plant fruit trees on the mountain.
He didn't know how to plant those fruit trees, but based on his decades of farming experience, he just needed to choose a relatively flat place with relatively fertile soil and easier watering.
So he walked around the mountain and finally chose the northeast side, a large area transitioning from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
The soil there is relatively fertile.
So the trees there are also very dense.
Taking advantage of winter, Bai Zhuangtou and his long-term workers cut down all the trees in the selected area. After drying, they could build a chicken shed at the foot of the mountain.
Yes, after a fierce debate between Bai Shanbao and Manbao, they finally reached an agreement and decided to raise chickens on the wasteland at the foot of the mountain as planned.
Of course, in order to prevent the chickens from turning into pheasants, they need to circle a place, put in a fence, and build a chicken shed.
In addition, several thatched houses had to be built for the long-term workers to live in, so a lot of trees were needed.
Now there are only three long-term workers in Xiaozhuangzi, which Liu took over from Mr. Bai, but it is obviously impossible to do so many things just by relying on these three long-term workers.
So Mr. Liu generously spent part of his money to hire part-time workers.
Manbao, who is close to the water, got the moon first, and first signed up for her brothers.
Having just sold all the ginger and other items, Zhou Lang and others, who had been resting at home recently, rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
When Lao Zhou saw it, he asked Xiao Qian and Feng to go too, saying: "No wages, just treat it as helping you Yaomei."
Of course Xiao Qian has no objection.
The three children said they wanted to raise chickens, but they didn't know how to raise the chickens. And the three long-term workers obviously didn't know much about it either. The fences were only loose enough to stop the big adult chickens.
, smaller chickens don’t even need to drill, I’m afraid they can walk in and out just like going shopping.
Xiao Qian took Mrs. Feng to tie the fence again, walked around the cleared wasteland at the foot of the mountain, pushed the chicken shed that had been built, and changed its position...
Bai Zhuangtou looked at it, his face slightly red.
The Bai family hired a lot of workers this time because Manbao and the others decided to clear out the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.
You don't need to worry about the rocks, but you need to cut down all the trees and weeds.
Then the tree stumps on the northeast mountainside also need to be dug out, and all the grass must be cut and hoed. The project is not small.
There is no labor this year, and everyone goes to hibernation early in the farm break. Oh, no, it is winter rest, so the young people in the whole village are idle and have nothing to do.
The Bai family had just spread the word about hiring day laborers, and the villagers immediately came in droves.
Bai Zhuangtou selected twelve young men, and with the help of Xiao Qian and Feng, Xiao Zhuangzi's construction progressed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the thatched house that was originally planned to be built roughly was replaced with a yellow mud house after Bai Shanbao and others visited it. It is much more spacious and brighter than the originally planned mud house.
Man Bao looked at the three long-term workers curiously and saw them squatting on the rocks with their heads messed up, grabbing a steamed bun and gnawing on it. He couldn't help but squatted opposite them with his own steamed bun.
The three long-term workers and Man Bao looked at each other, then turned around silently and pointed their backs at her.
Man Bao then stood up and ran to squat in front of them, continuing to eat steamed buns facing them.
Three long-term workers:...
One of the long-term workers, whose face was so dirty that he could not see clearly, swallowed the last bit of steamed bun in his hand and asked: "Miss Man, do you have any orders?"
Man Bao shook his head, paused and nodded again.
She looked at the three long-term workers curiously.
The three of them were wearing green cloth clothes that were often worn by the servants of the Bai family. However, the three of them were dirtier, with several holes in them, and not even patches.
His head was a mess, and his hands and face were dirty.
This is not the first time that Man Bao has met these three people, but she didn't pay much attention to them before. After all, she has little time and spends a lot of time here. Most of the time she talks to Bai Zhuangtou.
But today they had a break. She had been here since the morning and walked around with others. With so many people here today, the three of them stood out in comparison.
Man Bao thought they were too sloppy.
Even her fourth brother, who is the laziest, is not as dirty as them when he is the dirtiest.
So after hesitating, she couldn't help but ask, "Won't your mother beat you up?"
If her brothers dared to come home so dirty, her mother would definitely ask her father to beat them.
The three long-term workers were a little worried and said, "Why do our mothers beat us?"
Man Bao hesitated and said, "Because you don't wash your hair?"
The three long-term workers touched another steamed bun and continued to eat it. They said nonchalantly: "Our mother is far away from us. If she is not here, she can't beat us."
"What about your wives? You look older than my fourth brother."
The three long-term workers were even more upset, "Miss Man, if we can have a wife, can we still be used as long-term workers?"
Man Bao was shocked and asked: "You are long-term workers. Isn't it very profitable to be a worker? You have work to do every day."
Look at her brothers, every time they finish their work at home, they start to stare at Landlord Bai's house. Bai Landlord's family will rush there whenever they want workers. They only earn at least fifteen cash a day, and they can earn one hundred and fifty cash in ten days.
