Chapter 68： The stone mill trade, the stuff in the paddy fields

"I'm in a hurry to use it. When do you think it will be ready?"

"Then come and pick it up in ten days."

The two sides settled the receipt, Dong Chenghu paid a deposit of one or two silver coins, and left with a happy face.

When he returned to the inn, Dong Yunmei was already awake, Zuo Qingsong was not in the room, and Dong Chenghu didn't ask any other questions because he was too happy.

"Sister, you finally woke up. The doctor said that you have a heavy mind and a weak body, so you should take good care of you. Don't think about the past. Big sister eats it in one bite, and I will support our family."

Dong Chenghu, while packing his luggage, looked around to check, and did not forget to persuade Dong Yunmei.

Dong Yunmei felt relieved, with a relieved smile on her face, yes, she still has a brother and sister-in-law who treat her well, they will not dislike her past, what is she worried about?

Thinking about this, Dong Yunmei's thoughts have been enlightened a lot, but her body is still a little weak, and her speech is also weak.

"I'm fine now, don't worry about me, let's go home now, Qing... Brother Qingsong is going to decoct the medicine, we will leave when he comes back."

Seeing that she was in a hurry to go home, Dong Chenghu became anxious when she thought of the pregnant Gu Shuixiu and four children at home.

When Dong Yunmei heard this, she didn't even dare to take a step out of the door, and she lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.

Dong Chenghu came all the way to the kitchen in the backyard of the inn, and saw that there were many businessmen in the backyard of the inn who had just come out of the horse pen, but every look was not very friendly, even with a faint hostility.

Dong Chenghu made sure that he didn't know them and that he didn't have a holiday with them, so he passed them carefully, turned around and quickly entered the kitchen.

Zuo Qingsong was concentrating on decoction, not even knowing that Dong Chenghu was here.

Come back now."

Dong Chenghu stepped forward to see if the medicine was ready, and then explained his plans.

Zuo Qingsong was noncommittal, and softly agreed, it was a promise to Dong Chenghu's plan.

Dong Chenghu brought the medicine over to Dong Yunmei to take it. Zuo Qingsong stayed in the kitchen to deal with the aftermath, and surprisingly did not rush to Dong Yunmei.

The three left Panlong Town before noon, and this time they went straight into the mountains without even entering Caozi Village.

Finally got home just after dark.

Gu Shuixiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them returning safely.

Several children were so happy when they saw that Dong Yunmei was all right, even the youngest Zhang Junchi danced with them.

Gu Shuixiu felt relieved, and immediately went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone, and called all the Qin family over.

Uncle Qin and Mrs Hao were waiting for news from Dong Chenghu and the others. When they heard that Dong Yunmei was back, they rushed over without saying a word.

"Chenghu, we have all our food in bags, and now we only have the shelling and grinding noodles, and the stone grinding will take ten days to get it, so we will not be in a hurry, take advantage of these ten days. When you fill the paddy field with water again, those rice straws don't need to be treated. Let them soak in water and use them as fertilizer.

In addition, last time we didn't catch the fish and shrimp in the paddy field to catch the harvest, in fact, there should be loach or eel in the soil, and there should be many young and old. We didn't have time to deal with these things last time. This time, the water was poured in, and those guys should all appear. If you have time, go and catch a few, and we can also have a meal. "

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, and Mrs. Hao said with a smile: "That's a good feeling! This paddy field is really worry-free, you don't need to fertilize the rice after cutting the rice. Just fill it with water, and you can still catch the fish you mentioned in it, so won’t you worry about eating fish all winter? Next year, our family will also plant paddy fields!”

This time, without waiting for Uncle Qin to speak, Hao made a decision. She had been greedy for the paddy field for a long time, and now there are so many delicious food, how can Hao not be crazy?

Fortunately, Uncle Qin also agreed, and even planned to turn all the fields in the family into paddy fields.

"We bought ten acres of land this time, and we made all of them into paddy fields. Anyway, only me and the Qingyi family live in that valley now, and there are many fields that can be used. I plan to use adobe to enclose it myself. Come out with a few acres of land and plant some wheat and vegetables, it doesn’t matter if it is discovered at that time, I will buy the land if I have money, and I won’t plant it if I don’t have money.”

Dong Chenghu gave Uncle Qin a thumbs up, "Uncle, you are really brave!"

Gu Shuixiu was naturally happy that they all planted rice. Her planting method is not only high-yield, but the rice is also an expensive grain.

"Shuixiu, didn't you say that you don't plan to plant rice next year? If the fields are all irrigated, can you plant anything else next year?" Dong Chenghu asked fiercely, making everyone pay attention All focused on Gu Shuixiu.

"I didn't plan to grow rice, but it seems that there is nothing to grow if I don't grow rice. After planting rice and harvesting grain next year, I can sell the old grain that I have saved this year. , this is not bad.

But I really don't plan to put all the paddy fields back into rice next year. You will know what to plant in the future. "

Gu Shuixiu sold a trick, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

The next day, Dong Chenghu went to the paddy field to release water, because the paddy field had been dry for many days. Dong Chenghu expressed doubts about the statement that there were still fish in the paddy field, but doubts turned into doubts, the paddy fields were full of water Now, he still diligently went into the field and turned the paddy field over, so that the dry straw could be mixed into the mud.

, turned the paddy field more diligently, now it's good, the whole paddy field is full of splashes one after another, even the small fish and shrimp that have not been caught before and have not flowed out along the water also drilled out of the soil.

The whole paddy field was very lively.

Gu Shuixiu had already prepared meals at home and waited for Dong Chenghu, but after waiting for a while, there was no one, so she asked Dong Qingqing to go to the paddy field to find someone, but even Dong Qingqing did not come back, this time Gu Shuixiu couldn't sit still.
