Chapter 100 101 Farms

   After taking those people home, Li Mei saw that Li Yu had bought so many people, and complained in a low voice, "Why are they all old and weak, is it a waste of food to buy them back?"

   Several people saw Li Mei's disgust and wished to hide themselves, for fear that Li Mei would drive them away.

Li Yu pulled Li Mei and whispered to her: "Auntie, these people are very pitiful, they can't sell it in the shop, you see, my place is big, I'm going to buy some chickens, ducks and geese, as well as pigs and cattle. Hey, the old people and the young children let them herd animals and feed some chickens, ducks and geese."

Li Mei looked back to see those old people and children looking scared, and sighed, "Okay! You can figure it out for yourself! The thread spun by the women from the two families that I brought back last time is really good and spun again. Evenly and well, Granny Chen and the others put more effort into spinning the thread."

   The two old ladies hurriedly said to Li Yu: "Girl, we can also spin thread, you arrange work for us, we will work hard and won't be free."

  Li Yu nodded, "I'll arrange a job for you. We'll go to the house. I don't know what your names are?"

   Everyone followed Li Yu into the main room and wanted to kneel again. Li Yu raised his hand to stop them, "You don't have to kneel and kneel, just talk about what your name is and what you will do."

   Erya's grandfather stood in front, "Girl, the villain Zhao Zijian injured his left leg while walking and walked with a limp. When I was in the village, people used to call me Zhao Lizi, and the villain would feed the animals."

   "Girl, my name is Zhao Erya, I can work as hard as I can, you can send me those rough jobs." Erya stood up and said loudly.

  The two thin boys looked at Li Yu, and the taller one said in a soft voice, "Girl, my name is Yang Agou, and his name is Yang Alei. We can cut grass and herd cattle."

  The gray-haired old man said in a urgency, "The villain Yang Tiezhu knows how to farm and weave bamboo and straw mats."

  Two wives who can spin thread, one surnamed Yang and one surnamed Peng, and the other surnamed Liu who used to be a cook.

Li Yu looked at them, "You have to obey the rules here, my family's rules are to keep your duties, not to gamble, fight, and not to disclose half of the main family's affairs to outsiders, if you violate it, no matter who it is, it will be sold. , do you remember?"

   Everyone responded in unison, "Remember,"

Li Yu watched them and began to arrange, "Mr. Liu, go to help Aunt He cook on the stove, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Peng will go spinning, Agou and Alei will go to herd the cows and mow the grass, Erya, Uncle Yang and Uncle Zhao will go to the wheat field to help first. Weeding." Everyone responded happily.

  Li Yu arranged the work, took them to their respective places of work, went to find Ruyi, and handed him the list of these people.

Ruyi took the list and said, "Girl, the pond has been sprinkled with lime and exposed to the sun, and it can be watered tomorrow. I handed over the seeds of lotus root to Jin Jiu for him to plant. After the young master and you leave, the Xu brothers will Here, I gave them the location of the pig farm, and they have already started work."

"Okay, Ruyi, let someone cut some bamboo and wood, and build some chicken sheds around the hillside in the east. You take my uncle and Zhao Zijian to a few market towns and buy some chickens, ducks, and geese. , and pigs and cows are coming back to raise them.”

After Ruyi remembered it, he went out and called someone to go. Zhou Jia came back from the shop in the town and said to Li Yu: "Guy Agen has asked a few places, but I haven't heard of anyone selling fish fry. Do we still want to raise fish? "

   "There is no fry to sell, so I can only trouble you to have people go to the ditch to pick up fry! Leave these to me and you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind!" Li Yu said nonchalantly.

   Zhou Jia also laughed when he saw that Li Yu didn't care about anything, "Yeah! Then I'll depend on you to support me in the future, you can't abuse me."

   "I promise to keep you beautiful." Li Yu smiled and touched Zhou Jia's face, turned around and ran away.

   "This girl, I don't know where to learn the crazy talk." Zhou Jia smiled and looked at Li Yu's back and shook his head.

Li Yu went to the place where the pig farm was built, and saw that the craftsmen had built a half-person-high wall, and some people were digging a manure pond. Seeing that their work was reliable, he felt relieved and went to the pond again. Seeing that Jin Jiu was packing up there, he turned and went to the hillside to the east.

The hillside was full of shrubs, and Ruyi had already led someone to cut and dig shrubs on the slope. Li Yu climbed up the **** and pointed at the shrubs, "Ruyi, dig up these shrubs, divide the **** into two pieces, and then find some fruit trees. Plant it. You tell Xu Chun to let him build another row of cattle pens on the flat ground below, and put the chicken shed behind the cattle pens."

   "Okay, I'll go tell him now, tomorrow is the market day, I will go to the market with Uncle Liu to buy livestock, chickens, ducks and geese." Ruyi said to Li Yu with a smile.

   "You can arrange it yourself." After Ruyi bowed and saluted, she ran down the slope.

  Li Yu saw Zhao Erya dug out a bush with a **** without much effort, and gave her a thumbs up, "Erya, it's a good one."

   Zhao Erya blushed, "Girl, I ate so much food, I'm sorry for buying me back if I didn't work hard!"

   "Okay, you work hard, the girl promises to keep you full."

   "Hey!" Erya wielded her **** and worked harder, and the other long-term workers also secretly stepped up after seeing it.

Li Yu strolled around the slope, and after planning the slope, he went down the mountain and walked towards the wheat field. He saw that the wheat seedlings had slowly started to turn green, and He Tiezhu and He Hua were dredging the ditch. He saw Li Yu hurriedly put down his **** and wanted to salute. , Li Yu waved his hand and smiled: "You don't need to worry about me if you do yours."

   "Hey!" After listening to this, the two picked up hoes to get rid of the weeds, and hugged the soil that had fallen in the ditch to both sides of the ditch.

Li Yu looked around and went back to the house, Li Mei came to Li Yu with the newly woven hat pattern, "Yu'er, you see this is a tiger hat worn by a child that was woven by Zhao Di, and there is still a fudge inside. The thin layers of cotton will keep you warm."

  Li Yu saw Li Mei's gentle eyes when she was holding the hat, she moved in her heart and looked at Li Mei's belly, "Aunt, do you have a baby?"

  Li Mei nodded and blushed, "I only felt a little bit when I came back from Tongzhou. I'm not sure if the month is still light. I'll ask Uncle to check the pulse in a few days."

   Li Yu looked at Li Mei happily after hearing this, and warned, "Then you have to be careful, I'll get you anything you want to eat."

   Li Mei glanced at Li Yu strangely, "You little girl is still early! When my aunt has something to eat, I'll tell you, and I'll have someone make more hats like this."

Li Yu was also happy for Li Mei when she saw Li Mei walking away briskly. This is the way the world is. People without sons have the least status in the clan. Although Liu Changmin has left the Liu clan, Li Mei wants to Having a son has become her obsession.

   Li Yu asked Jin Jiu to take people to the ditch to retrieve small fish the next day, and then he went to the town to buy some and stocked them in the pond.

After another half month, Li Yu's pig farm and farm were also completed. More than 200 chicks and a dozen cattle were raised on the slope. Two sows and dozens of cattle were fed in the pigpen. The little pig, the pond under the hillside became lively.

Ruyi asked people to scatter the alfalfa seeds bought by Li Yu on several acres of wasteland and then feed them to the piglets. They also took people to the mountains to dig some pepper trees, jujube trees, persimmon trees, and chestnut trees. It was planted on the sloping land, turning the barren sloping land into an orchard.
