Festival

Festival

As Qingming Festival approaches, nearly half of the fields in Luoshan Village have been plowed.

Of course, this Qingming Festival is not the other Qingming Festival, and the days are not fixed. If you want to know, you have to look at the almanac.

This year's Qingming Festival falls in late March, which only lasts for a few dozen days. Compared with the seven acres of land that Su Mo had originally, it is indeed much faster.

But think about it, it is right. Not to mention the different farm tools, the time of working this time is also longer than that of Su Mo before.

As soon as the sun rose, the laborers came to start work. They had breakfast at Chenshi and then continued to work. They had lunch at 4:40 noon, took a break of three-quarters of an hour, and continued to work. They did not stop work until the sky was gray and gray. After dinner,

Just go to the place provided by the Yamen to rest.

Su Mo was a little confused when he heard this, wondering whether the work would take a long time and cause public resentment.

But what did the village chief say? He said that working this way would include three meals a day, and the food and water provided would also be generous, and the wages would be higher. The laborers were eager to do so, and everyone was happy.

Su Mo took the time to take a look, and it was true that he got up and went to the fields without any urging from the government servants.

As expected, these people are so content. They have three meals to eat and are paid wages. It's as if they were given chicken blood.

Su Mo looked at it with a slight smile on his lips.

The Qingming Festival was a long time for ancestor worship. Xie Wenci had to take his family back to Shangyang Village to worship his ancestors, so naturally he couldn't continue teaching his children.

Therefore, three days before the Qingming Festival, the village school released the news of Mu Xiu, and there was a total of ten days of holiday.

Gu Ping'an was so happy that he jumped up and down on the way home. As for the homework assigned by his master, he completely forgot about it.

Gu Jinnian remained the same as before, with the same expression on his face that made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

When Gu Xingnian heard that her brothers no longer had to go to the village school, she foolishly thought that she no longer had to study for female celebrities and could play with her brothers, and she smiled broadly.

Su Mo could see through Gu Pingan and Gu Xingnian's thoughts at a glance, so during lunch, she looked at Gu Pingan with a smile and said, "Mu Xiu from the village school, but you must not be too relaxed.

You should spend at least two hours reading every day, and you must complete the homework assigned by the Master. I have time to go back and check. If I find that you have violated the law, you know the consequences."

The smile on Gu Pingan's face suddenly froze.

Gu Xingnian blinked, covered his mouth with his little hand and snickered, his eyebrows and eyebrows couldn't hide the gloating.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows and turned to look at her, "You too, as usual, follow me to learn female beauty. Don't even think about playing with your brothers, they don't have time."

The little girl stopped laughing immediately.

Su Mo is not kidding. She has never been a mother and doesn't know how to take care of a child, but she has the memory of the original owner. How the original owner grew up, she copied how to take care of Gu Xingnian.

Of course, she also knows that work and rest must be balanced, so she allows them to have time to play every afternoon. In short, she will not push too hard, nor will she be too indulgent.

The little girl was not very happy, like a withered flower. She even ate less than half a bowl of rice. But when she woke up from a nap, she was smiling again, and she no longer looked depressed at noon.

.

Gu Ping'an didn't pay attention for a while, just like a monkey trying to reach the sky, he was holding two wooden axes in the yard, hahahahaha.

That's right, his handy weapon was actually an ax. Su Mo was speechless.

The image of Li Kui holding a double ax that I had seen when I was a child popped up in my mind. I always felt weird when I was looking at Gu Ping An.

Gu Jinnian is much more artistic. His favorite weapon is a long sword, which is very pleasing to the eye when used in gestures.

The little girl also found it fun, so she wanted to choose, and she kept choosing. Either she thought this one was too ugly, or that one didn't look good.

"Mom, aren't there any colorful ones that look better?"

Su Mo: "..."

She rubbed her brows and lowered her eyes to look at Gu Xingnian, who was clutching her sleeves and feeling aggrieved. After all, she softened her heart and took the time to go to the county seat to find Mr. Li.

Chen Heyun is now well-known among the merchants in Coastal County. His business is booming, and with the support of Changhu Trading Company, he can easily join the Chamber of Commerce in Coastal County.

It was not convenient for Su Mo to find Chen Heyun, so she asked Li. Of course, she didn't want to buy weapons, but planned to buy some rare gadgets for Gu Xingnian, but she didn't want to go to one store after another, so she just came to Li to inquire.

Mrs. Li thought something big was going on. When she heard Su Mo's words, she quickly thought about it and recommended the Zhenbao Pavilion on East Street.

“There are imported products from overseas, but they are a bit expensive and not easily available.

If you have time, just wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and go with you. The shop is owned by Changhu Trading Company. The shopkeeper has met me a few times, so he'll give me some face."

Su Mo frowned slightly, "Would this be too much trouble?"

Li Shi looked at her with a smile, "Why is it troublesome? Speaking of which, Brother Chen and I are able to establish a relationship with Changhu Trading Company, thanks to you."

Su Mo was slightly startled. When Li took a look at it, he quickly reminded, "The batch of watermelons you planted last year was collected by Manager Lin from Changhu Commercial Bank. Did you forget?"

After such a reminder, Su Mo finally remembered, "I have done so many things this year, I really forgot about them."

Li smiled and lowered her voice, "Speaking of which, Manager Lin from Changhu Commercial Bank still remembers you. Just a few days after your wheat harvest, he specifically asked about the improvement of saline-alkali land.

I want to ask if I can buy the kind of wheat that comes out of your house.

I didn't hide it, I told him the truth. Manager Lin looked a little disappointed, but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked me to help you ask you, what is the difference between the food grown in this saline-alkali land and that grown in ordinary land?

.

I heard what he meant was that he wanted to buy food grown in this saline-alkali land..."

This was a bit unexpected. Su Mo thought about it and realized that this was actually a way to make money.

After all, there are so many fields in Luoshan Village, and the food grown is naturally endless, and everyone knows what the saline-alkali land looks like.

And she had sold wheat to Xiao Jin before, and Xiao Jin sent the wheat to the capital and dedicated it to the emperor. People in the capital must have gotten wind of it and have been thinking about it for a long time.

If someone wanted to buy the food grown in Luoshan Village at a low price and spread bad news, wouldn't the work of the villagers in Luoshan Village be in vain?

After all, the common people don't know much, and they easily believe rumors because they follow what others say. Otherwise, people would not randomly follow the trend and buy certain things, or boycott a certain store.

Su Mo always prepared for the worst, so instead of passively waiting for others to plot his plans, it was better to plan ahead.

She is also a member of Luoshan Village, and she also has a share in those fields. They both prosper and lose. She is not thinking about those villagers, but her own interests.

"Speaking of which, I don't think there is any difference, but the taste seems to be better than usual.

In this way, since Manager Lin has this idea, I still have some wheat there. When the time comes, you can pack some and send it to Manager Lin, saying that you can give it to him to have a taste.

Then let’s talk about how many fields we have in the village, and how many crops we will be planting after completion..."

The temperature dropped suddenly last night and it rained non-stop.

Unfortunately, I caught a cold, my nausea worsened, my stomach became flatulent, and my stomach kept rumbling. I had no appetite to begin with, and this made it even more uncomfortable.

I’ll update two chapters today and make up for it tomorrow. (As the old saying goes, see if you can work harder. If it doesn’t happen, just think I didn’t say it.)

Love you~
Chapter completed!
