Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Harvest, open up wasteland

   Early the next morning, the rice harvesting began. Li Yu's family's rice field was right at the door, so it was much more convenient to harvest. The six people finished harvesting half an mu of land in a short time.

Liu Changmin went back and carried the mixing bucket to the ground. Li Yu hurriedly took it down and put it on the open space to put a fence. Laidi and Li Qing picked up the bucket and passed it to Li Yu and Liu Changmin. Li Yu took it over, yes The side wall of the quasi-mixing bucket was smashed, and after a few moments, the grains on the rice ears fell off in the mixing bucket.

  Liu Changmin saw that Li Yu finished in just a few seconds, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xiaoyu, you really deserve to be a god."

  Li Yu smiled and continued to farm the millet. It took a few people more than a day to take back the two mu of millet back home.

  Li Yu asked Li Mei to go to the village to buy a few drying mats and dry the millet in the wasteland outside the house.

  Li Yu found out that only less than eight quarts of millet could be harvested from two acres of land, and he sighed inwardly, the output is too small!

  After the millet was harvested, Li Mei and his wife opened up wasteland at home, Li Qing and Laidi went to the forest to dig fertile soil, and Li Yu went to Sancha Road with pickles on his back.

  Li Yu walked to the intersection and saw that there was no convoy on the road. Just as he was about to put down the back basket, the shopkeeper of Shunfeng Inn stood at the door and waved to Li Yu, "Miss Li, come here, I have something to discuss with you."

   Li Yu glanced at the chubby shopkeeper, walked over with a smile and asked, "I don't know what the shopkeeper asked me to discuss?"

   The fat shopkeeper looked at the pickles in Li Yu's back basket and squinted, "Miss Li, you can send me your pickles for consignment! I'll take a penny for every jar sold."

   Li Yu thought to himself: He has a shop here, and there are many caravans that feed their animals, so it is feasible to put him here.

"The shopkeeper, I only earn three or four cents a can of pickles in my house. If I put them on consignment, I will give you two cans of one cent at most. If you think it's okay, I will put a few cans of each kind with you. How much do you sell at a time? I'll pay you according to the quantity."

   The shopkeeper thought about it for a while and thought it was okay, the place was empty, and it cost five cents to sell a dozen cans a day!

   "Miss Li, if there's a big caravan asking for pickles, your few jars won't be enough!"

   "My home is in Xishan Village. It will take less than a quarter of an hour to drive there. You just need to bring someone with me to identify the door."

   The fat shopkeeper nodded and smiled: "Okay, I know about your family, but I still have to let the guys go to recognize the door."

   "Okay, the shopkeeper, you know my surname is Li, what's the surname of the shopkeeper uncle?"

   "My surname is Liu and my name is Yong. My family is in Dongshan Village. Your uncle and I are uncles and brothers."

  Li Yu bowed at him and saluted, "I will trouble Uncle Liu in the future."

   Shopkeeper Liu smiled, "Miss Li is polite, let's benefit each other!"

Li Yu picked up five cans of pickles from the back basket and said to Liu Yong with a smile: "Uncle Liu, the one with one bar on the cork is kohlrabi sauce, the one with two bars is cowpea sauce, and the one with three bars is meat sauce. , a jar of vegetarian pickles for twenty cents, and meat pickles for thirty cents.”

   Shopkeeper Liu read them one by one, repeated them several times, and nodded, "I remember."

   "Today we are in a hurry. Next time I will bring an account book, and we will write down how many times we hand over in the future."

   "Okay, good, I can't believe you are so thoughtful when you are young."

   "There is no way, no one wants to come out to seek a living at a young age. You also know the situation in my family."

   Shopkeeper Liu nodded, "That's true."

  Li Yu came out of the inn, and the shopkeeper Liu sent a guy named Zhuzi to follow Li Yu to Li's house to recognize the door.

   Zhuzi followed Li Yu to Li's house without a word, blushing, turned around and ran away after recognizing the door.

  Li Yu smiled and entered the door. Zhao Di, who was drying millet and collecting vegetables at home, saw that Li Yu had come back so soon, thinking that it was sold out again, and asked happily, "Cousin, is it sold out again?"

  Li Yu shook his head, "How can it be so fast, it's sold at the inn."

  Zhao Di was a little disappointed after hearing this, and said to Li Yu: "Cousin, Liu Yong is the second son of the Liu clan chief, and we call him Erbo Na Inn opened by the clan chief's family."

   Li Yu felt more relieved after hearing this, and went to the wasteland with a hoe.

  The land has been ploughed out. Liu Changmin and his wife were picking up stones in the field, and Li Yu also went down to pick them up.

  Li Yu thought while picking it up, he had to go to the woods to find some roses and roses and come back and plant them in a circle.

   A few people were busy driving four or five acres of land for a day, and Li Qing and Laidi also carried a lot of fallen leaf fertilizer and scattered them on the ground.

  Li Qing emptied the fallen leaf fertilizer in the back basket and walked to Li Yu with the back basket on his back, "Sister, I'm going to school the next day, don't work too hard at home, I'll work when I get back from school."

  Li Yu patted the dirt sticking to Li Qing's body, "Don't worry about this side, I'll invite a few people to help open up the wasteland in two days, and my aunt and the others can go back and fix their house."

  Li Qing was relieved after hearing that Li Yu would invite people to work, "Yeah! I see."

A few people just walked to the door, a black and thin boy of twelve or thirteen years old walked in front of Li Yu nervously, "Sister Li, I heard that your family wants to hire people to open up wasteland, can I come to your house to help you work? I don't need money, just order food."

  Li Qing saw him as if he saw himself before, he pulled Li Yu's shirt, Li Yu patted Li Qing, smiled and nodded to the boy, "Okay! I'm just worried that I can't find anyone to work!"

  The boy's eyes lit up when he saw Li Yu and his brother, and bowed to Li Yu: "Thank you sister Li, thank you brother Aqing, I will work hard."

   Li Yu said to him with a smile: "But my family has to pay wages for work. You are young, so you can only give you a few wallets and three meals a day."

  Three meals, the boy's eyes turned red after hearing this, "Thank you, Sister Li, I'll be there early tomorrow morning."

   "Hey! Isn't this Jiang's Xiaoan? Is your father better?" Li Mei came from behind and asked.

   Jiang Xiaoan lowered his head sadly and said, "Aunt Li, my father has already left, Aunt Li and Sister Li, my mother is still waiting for me at home, I will go back first."

   Jiang Xiaoan turned and ran towards the village, Li Yu turned to ask Li Mei, "Aunt, what happened to his father?"

"Hey! His father fell and couldn't get up after a fall when he went to work the year before, and he was paralyzed on the bed when he brought it home. Their family also escaped from the famine and settled here, and his mother was sick and sick, alas! How do you spend your days when you are sick and weak?"

  Li Qing looked at Li Yu, "Sister, he is so pitiful!"

   Li Mei nodded and looked at Li Yu, "Yu'er, why did An Zi come to you?"

   "He came to me to work and said that he didn't need wages but only ordered food, aunt, it looks so pitiful, let's go and see!"

   "Alas! Orphans and widows, there is no one at home to help, probably there is no rice to cook, let's go and see!"

   "Sister, can we give him some rice?" Li Qing looked at Li Yu, Li Yu nodded, "Yes."

   Li Yu went home and scooped a few catties of rice, and Li Mei took her to the village.
