The sun hangs high in the sky, and the wind blows warmly on the face, making people who have almost passed a winter feel that their limbs and bones are extremely comfortable.

Lian Man'er moved her arms and legs outside the house. After the Qingming Festival, Zhang finally agreed to let her take off her thick cotton pants and jacket and put on thin cotton jackets. The full text of the clothes was suddenly reduced, making Lian Man'er feel that her arms and legs were more flexible and powerful.

Zhou walked out of the upper room with a can of bran and planned to go to the chicken pen to feed the chickens. When he raised his eyes, he saw Lian Man'er smiling and jumping, and suddenly felt like a thorn was pierced in his eyes.

Even Man'er also saw Zhou. When she saw Zhou's face turned heavy, she smiled in her heart. Before Zhou could speak, she quickly returned to the west wing.

On the kang in the west wing, several large sea bowls and plates were placed in a row, and each large sea bowl and plate was covered with wet gauze.

When the weather is warm, it is time to plant vegetables. In order to increase the yield of vegetables, farmers need to germinate the seeds of vegetables before sowing them. For example, cucumbers, pumpkins, hair cherries, beans, etc. There are also some vegetable seeds that are not suitable for germination, such as eggplant and cabbage. They can be sprinkled directly in the soil when sowing.

The way for farmers to germinate is also very simple. They choose the fullest seeds, put them in a large bowl or plate, then sprinkle water, cover them with gauze to keep them moisturized, and then put them in a warm place and sprinkle water every day to ensure humidity.

Lian Man'er puts the dishes containing seeds on the kang to keep warm. When the sun is at its peak at noon, she will move these dishes to the windowsill that can be sunbathed to the sun, so that the vegetable seeds can sprout faster.

"Sister, have they all sprouted?" As soon as Lian Man'er entered the house, he saw Lian Zhi'er peeling off the gauze to see how the seeds germinated.

"It's almost done. I think I can plant it in the next two days." Lian Zhier said.

Even Man'er climbed onto the kang and looked at it one by one. The teeth of beans are the best, and the hairy hair is the slowest, perhaps because the hairy kernel is wrapped in hard shells. However, it doesn't matter if it sprouts slowly. Generally, hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy hairy

Hair chewing is not a necessary vegetable, but a snack for children. Generally, farmers often plant a few hair chewing trees on the ridges of vegetable beds or other idle corners, just enough to stuff the children's teeth, without occupying serious vegetable fields.

Lian Man'er saw the vegetable seeds on the kang and then came down from the kang. A corner of their house against the wall was built with broken bricks and stones. The nursery was piled with fine sand. The cubes were buried in the fine sand. Potatoes were not seeds, but sowed by the rhizomes. Lian Man squatted down and saw potato teeth emerging from the fine sand. She looked over and found that most of the potato pieces had sprouted. After waiting for a few days, she could transplant these potato teeth into the vegetable field.

After checking the potato teeth, Lian Man'er stood up and looked out. She was stole the time to come back from the shop, but she was anxious to see the germination of the vegetable seeds. Now it was almost noon and she had to go back to the shop.

"Sister, I'm going back to the shop." Lian Man'er said to Lian Zhi'er, "Are you going with me?"

"Wait for me, I've just fed the pig. I'll go and add some food to the chickens and ducks... Man'er, you go and add water to the pigs." Lian Zhi'er said.

"Oh." Lian Man'er agreed, so he scooped a scoop of water from the water tank in the outer room and walked to the door of the pigpen. The wall of the pigpen was much taller than her, and even the pigpen door built by the stone seemed to be as tall as her. Lian Man'er stepped on a protruding stone on the pigpen door, and half lying on the pigpen door. Only then could he pour the water into the half-broken wooden barrel that was specially filled with water in the pigpen.

When the three little pigs in the pigpen heard the movement, they rushed out of the pigpen shed, squeezed in front of the broken wooden barrel and started drinking water.

All three little pigs grew in size. Lian Man'er took a look. Each one was more than two feet long and its weight should have increased by more than twice. According to this growth, by the Chinese New Year, there will be three fat pigs. Lian Man'er smiled and turned her head to see the remaining pig food in the pig's trough next to the bucket. This is the habit of pigs. Even if they have just eaten food, as long as someone comes to feed them, they will run out and have another meal.

Lian Man'er walked back with an empty scoop and saw Mr. Lian standing in the vegetable garden under the east wing.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Lian Man'er asked, walked over and looked inside through the low wall.

Old man Lian was standing next to a square vegetable bed. The soil in the vegetable bed was very wet, full of green Yingying seedlings, and next to the vegetable bed was a wet grass curtain.

"Let me see how the cigarettes are coming out." Old Master Lian raised his head and said.

Even the old man likes to smoke dry tobacco. It is said that in the vegetable garden east of the front yard this year, he plans to plant dry tobacco. Drought tobacco is a delicate species and needs to be bred first and then transplanted. Even the old man dug a small vegetable bed and covered it with a straw curtain to keep it warm. Only at warm noon did the grass curtain be opened and let the tobacco seedlings bask in the sun.

The dry tobacco in this garden is not only enough to smoke the old man himself, but also sells two or three hundred kilograms. The dry tobacco is much higher than ordinary vegetables. However, it also requires more careful care, and the drying process after harvesting is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"I can see that it's pretty good. When will you start planting?" Lian Man'er said.

"I have to wait a few days. The seedlings are too small and they have to be so long to plant them." Mr. Lian compared them with his hands and told Lian Man'er. As an old crop handle, he likes to talk to people about the topic of growing vegetables and growing crops. Among the younger generations in the family, especially among the girls, only Lian Man'er cares about these things, so Mr. Lian loves Lian Man'er a little more.

"So you ask your father later, will you plant dry tobacco this year? This seedling is enough." Old Master Lian said to Lian Man'er.

"Okay, I'll ask my dad later." Lian Shouxin did not have the habit of smoking dry tobacco. Lian Man'er's family did not plan to grow dry tobacco this year. However, Lian Man'er still answered.

At this time, Lian Zhier had already fed the chickens and ducks, and Lian Man'er put the water scoop back into the house. The two of them checked the inside and outside the house, locked the door and came to the breakfast shop.

When they walked to the official road, the two of them separated. Lian Zhier went directly to the breakfast shop and wanted to help Zhang cook. Lian Man'er went to the construction site of the new shop to see Lian Shouxin.

In order to speed up the construction period, the house was built before the busy farming period. Even Shouxin hired more people to come. Now the beams of the new shop have been laid, and the purlins and other mortises have been connected. I made the roof yesterday, and today the last important process is being carried out - tiling, which is to lay tiles on the roof.

To lay tiles, craftsmen must have special skills to do it well, so there are not many people on the roof, and more people are busy with the finishing work inside and outside the house.

There are helpers behind the shop building a wall, and a small courtyard surrounded the city. There are two rooms in the yard. These two rooms are covered with fragmentary materials left over from the shop. They are prepared for the residence for hired workers in the future and can also store miscellaneous items. In the corner of the courtyard, there are cow pens prepared for the little scalpers.

There are also several helpers in front of the shop. They are building flower beds with broken bricks. This is what Lian Man'er requires. The open space next to the shop must be sorted out. In some places, wooden stakes or stone piers must be laid, which are reserved for future guests to tie horses and park vehicles.

Lian Shouxin is busy coordinating inside and outside, and is already in a very supervisory position.

Building a house is a hard work. I have been busy these days and I have hardly even slept well. I have a lot of appetite than before, but I still lose weight when I see people, but I am better at energy than ever before.

The project has reached the last moment, but it cannot be relaxed at all.

"Man'er, what food should we eat for lunch?" Lian Shouxin asked when he saw Lian Man'er coming.

"My mother said to eat pork stewed vermicelli." Lian Man'er replied crisply.

"Did you hear that? Eat pork and stew vermicelli at noon!" Lian Shouxin shouted at the people who built the house.

There were cheers immediately sounded from the front and back of the house. Lian’s house built a house and the food was very good, which had spread. There was an affordable meal of pork stewed vermicelli waiting in front, and everyone was even more motivated.

Lian Man'er laughed secretly, she knew that Lian Shouxin was intentional. This move to boost morale is really effective.

…………

After lunch, Lian Shouxin took his people to the Xinshouzi again. Lian Man'er discussed with Zhang about growing vegetables.

"Mom, let's put the tent on it first." Lian Man'er said. After the seeds are toothed, there will be one or two days left. There is no wall around the land they bought. You have to put the tent around the vegetable field to prevent chickens and ducks from breaking in and wasting vegetables.

"Okay." Zhang nodded.

Zhao and Ye'er had lunch in the shop, and they didn't rush back after that. They didn't rush to wash clothes today. They both said they wanted to stay for help. Shiwazi, who was running away from the hall, also said they wanted to help.

"Mom, then Xiaoqi and I will go to the plowing stick. Before going to school, we can plow the ditch so that you can't even dig a little bit." Wulang said, and went to the back with Xiaoqi to set the plowing stick.

Xiaoqi raised the ox and Wuro supported the plow behind him and plowed a ditch about half a foot deep along the vegetable field. Lianman and a few people followed him to hold the tent behind him. The tent was to clean the straw of the leaves, insert it into the ditch, then backfilling the soil on both sides, and step on it with your feet. In order to make the tent stronger, you usually have to put horizontal straw on it and tie it with malan leaves as a rope.

With the plowing staff and ox, this process saves a lot of time and effort.

After picking up the tent and returning to the shop, Lian Man'er was sorting out the accounts when he heard footsteps outside.

"Oh, Mr. Lu is here!"
