Chapter 193 I want to go out
This time, Li Lanzhen walked south along the river.
The river flows from north to south. The river surface is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. The water is sometimes shallow and sometimes deep. The water is clear.
When the river turned a bend, Li Lanzhen discovered that the riverbank was full of calamus.
At this time, the leaves of calamus are still dark green, and the hairs on the calamus are fluffy and have not turned yellow.
Li Lanzhen could imagine that if it really entered late autumn, the calamus here would be golden and very beautiful.
She wanted to remember this place and tell the women in the village.
You can pick them when the time comes and light them to repel mosquitoes. You can also pluck the hairs of the calamus and use them to fill pillows, or make them into plush toys in the future.
Li Lanzhen picked up a few relatively thick calamus by the river.
I plan to take it home, light it up, and use it to repel mosquitoes at night.
After thinking about it, she turned back and put a dozen calamus into the lake in the space.
I believe that before long, a field of calamus will grow in the space lake.
He also pulled out a dozen thick calamus and threw them into the space.
After this is lit, it is more convenient to light firecrackers or fireworks than using a lighter.
So she wanted to prepare some things just in case, maybe they would come in handy this time she goes out.
Calamus leaves are also good things and can be used to weave many household utensils.
After walking and stopping for a while, Lan Zhen finally reached the eleventh tree.
Take two baskets of walnuts and chestnuts from the space and put them on the ground.
Carrying a backpack and holding something in hand, he walked forward.
It's been relatively quiet here at Eleven Trees today.
Li Lanzhen found out, and everyone went to the fields.
Yesterday Zhang Deshui said that he would let all the children go to the fields to help today.
The potato breeding was successful and has already sprouted.
Today we will cut the potatoes one by one, wrap them in wood ash, and then plant them in the fields.
She put a basket of walnuts and a basket of chestnuts in the kitchen.
There was no one in the kitchen.
I wonder where the two pregnant women went? Could they have gone to help in the fields?
It's very possible that the eldest daughter-in-law always feels embarrassed that she doesn't work and just eats for free. She always thinks about working and doesn't feel sorry for herself at all.
Seeing that there was no one here, Li Lanzhen simply poured the contents of the backpack onto the ground.
He took out another pile of walnuts and a pile of chestnuts from the space.
Of course, the green skin on the walnut and the hairy shell on the chestnut are not peeled off.
These are waiting for you, please take time to do them.
After brushing off the dust on her body, Li Lanzhen also walked towards the fields?
Li Lanzhen has not been here since the land was reclaimed.
The eleven branches were very close to the field ahead.
After walking a few steps, I heard the laughter of adults and children.
Li Lanzhen felt that what they heard most after arriving here was the laughter of adults and children.
Almost as soon as I opened my eyes, I heard a hahaha, giggling sound.
Standing at the edge of the field, Li Lanzhen was amused by the appearance of the children in the field.
The older children are easier to deal with, as they can serve as strong laborers and can dig holes, plant seeds, cover them and water the plants all in one go.
The funniest thing was the younger kids.
Sanniu, Han Yibai, Datou, Douhua, and Han Dezhong’s two little grandsons, Sanzhuang and Zhuangzhuang.
The oldest of these children is only three years old, and they have all become little monkeys.
There was dirt all over his head and face, and all over his body.
Because they have short legs and cannot walk steadily, but they still want to work, so they fall every few steps.
Get up and continue working.
I don't know whether they are helping or just making things worse.
Their silly looks made everyone laugh from time to time.
Li Lanzhen did not go into the field, she walked around it.
The reclaimed land is about 30 acres.
Moreover, the fields were leveled and ridges were built.
Zhang Deshui should have planned it all out, what to plant on which piece of land? He should have had it all in mind.
Since the construction of the house started on the homestead.
Zhang Deshui asked Zhang Songshu to go over there to work.
He said that his family had to go there, otherwise they would be too embarrassed to live in the new house.
Zhang Songshu took his eldest son Daniu with him.
Therefore, Zhang Deshui usually led the women and half-grown children to become the main force in farming.
Fortunately, when we first reclaimed the land, everyone worked here together.
There are several plots of land where rapeseed must have been sown, and small vegetable sprouts have already appeared.
From a distance, it looks like a sea of tender green, but when you get closer, you can see only two or three tender leaves.
When she reached the end of the reclaimed field, Li Lanzhen found traces of being dug with a hoe, which was the place where Zhang Deshui mentioned the canal was dug.
I guess they don’t have time to do this now.
Li Lanzhen knew that the river water was high and the bank was relatively high, so how to divert the river water to the fields was still a problem.
She thought of the waterwheel that transports water.
This is still quite useful
I might as well go back and look in the space to see if there is any picture of a waterwheel?
There are so many blueprints in the space. If there are any, I can find them and give them to my father and let them study them. They should be able to make it.
Thinking of this, Li Lanzhen turned around and walked back.
When I walked to the end of the field, I saw Xue Nizi and several other women carrying these children out of the field.
He walked and cursed with a smile.
"You mud monkeys, hurry back with me, I'll throw you into the water tank and wash you thoroughly.
Look, look, one by one, they haven't done much work, but their heads and faces are covered with dust, and you can shake a pound of dust off their bodies.
People who don’t know would think we’re pinning you to the ground and telling you to get out.”
The child they were holding in their hands had his limbs in the air and was crying and refusing to leave.
Linglong looked up and saw Li Lanzhen coming over. She struggled hard to break free from their hands.
He spread his short legs, opened his arms, screamed, and rushed towards Li Lanzhen.
"Grandma Lanzhen, help me! Auntie wants to put me in the water tank, but I don't want to be washed in the water tank."
Li Lanzhen picked up Linglong who rushed over to her with amusement.
I saw that her long eyelashes were covered with dirt, and when she blinked, the dirt fell down.
He brushed the dirt off her body and said.
"Shut up now, you've turned into a dirt monkey! Go back and ask your aunt to wash you. Once you're clean, everyone will love you. But now that you're in this state, no one will pick you up if you throw you out."
Linglong covered her mouth with her hands and giggled. The other children had no choice but to leave with the adults.
The children were brought to the river, where there were many large wooden basins, as well as large and small water tanks and wooden basins.
Every morning, these pots and pans were filled with water. When the sun reached noon, the water temperature was warm enough for the children to take a bath.
Li Lanzhen threw Linglong to Xue Nizi and a few others to wash.
She took off her coat, shook it vigorously, and patted her body, legs and shoes.
Then he washed his face and hands in the river, put on his clothes, and returned to the tree house.
She wanted to go into the space and look in the boxes that contained various recipes and drawings to see if there were any drawings for making waterwheels.
Li Lanzhen climbed up the tree, lowered the curtain, and slipped into the space.
I didn’t see Silver Fox, he should still be at the medicinal field.
He went to the storage room and started rummaging through several large boxes.
Li Lanzhen discovered that these prescriptions and drawings were arranged in a regular pattern.
The small box is filled with various prescriptions or recipes for treating diseases. Of course, they are not for treating difficult and complicated diseases, but just for treating common injuries and illnesses.
There is also a box containing all the cooking methods related to catering.
There are recipes for making various dim sum, as well as stir-fry recipes for various cuisines.
When Li Lanzhen saw these recipes, she started drooling.
She wanted to wait until the infrastructure of Taohuayuan was completed, and then she would start to slowly think about ways to make money in the future.
There is also a box containing various handmade drawings and recipes.
While rummaging around in there, she actually found several drawings for making water wheels.
Li Lanzhen did not read any further except for what she needed.
Wait until she comes back and take some time to take a closer look.
If it can be used now, take it out and let them experiment with it.
As soon as I put away the drawings of the waterwheel, I saw Silver Fox standing there.
Silver Fox saw Li Lanzhen, bowed and asked.
"Hello, ma'am. You are here."
Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "What progress have you made in the medicine field?"
Silver Fox handed a small bag in his hand to Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen opened it and saw that it was filled with medicine powder or pills wrapped in paper.
Suddenly she thought of buying a batch of small porcelain bottles for Silver Fox to store medicine powder and pills.
This time when I go out, if I come across them, I will buy him a batch.
"Madam, I want to go out. I have something important to do. After I finish this important matter, I will come back and continue to serve you. Is that okay?"
