Chapter 340

"My mother is very satisfied."

Mr. Zhang's voice was steady without any abnormality.

Then he pulled down the reins and let the horse walk in the middle of the road. "By the way, you know that girl, too."

"Who is it?"

"The girl we saved that night."

A beautiful face appeared in Qing'er's mind, "that girl."

"Well."

Qing'er couldn't help laughing, "you're really predestined fate."

Otherwise, how did you save people that day.

Mr. Zhang didn't answer.

"That girl is really pretty. Although her skin is a little bit dark, she should be exposed to the sun all the year round. After a good maintenance, her skin will turn white."

Mr. Zhang still didn't speak.

Fine son smile convergence, put down the car curtain, in the carriage spit out tongue, did not dare to talk with Zhang Ye.

……

Xia Xi went straight to the place where the sweet potato seedlings were cultivated. As soon as she got close, the heat came to her face. Wei Lian just came out to hold the firewood and saw her, "Lady Xia, you're here."

When she said this, the women on the sweet potato Kang came out one after another and said hello to her, "Lady Xia."

"Lady Xia."

……

"How are you?"

"Very good."

They all answered in unison.

Xia walked into a passageway and touched the Kang. The temperature was not high or low, just right. He nodded, "everyone worked hard."

"What's the trouble?" A woman came over with firewood in her arms, with a smile on her face. "It's not hard work, it's just a matter of making an eye. It's much easier than us going to work in the field."

"It's not."

Another woman should say, "we work in the fields, no less than men. It's a piece of cake for us."

"Oh, aunt Wu."

A younger woman laughed and joked, "after burning the fire for a few days, you can even say a piece of cake."

Ying and the woman raised a piece of firewood in her hand, pretending to hit her, "dare to make fun of me, see if I don't hit you."

There was a burst of laughter.

Wei Lian pursed her lips. Since everyone earned money, the smile on her face was much more obvious. Before, at the end of the day, there was no such hearty laughter in the village.

Xia Xi mouth also with a smile, "and the boil, everyone if who can't hold, say one."

"No, lady Xia, don't worry."

Xia Xi checks all the sweet potato Kang, confirms that there is no problem, and instructs everyone to master the fire before going to the village head.

The village head is supervising the work at the foot of the mountain. Several big pits have been dug.

Xia Xi looked at it, "uncle, I think today is about the same. Tomorrow you ask people to make some dead leaves, small branches, weeds, straws, plant ash spread in it. I will ask people to pull some manure."

The head of the village can also retch. It's just that such a big pit requires a lot of dung. The head of the village is a little worried. "It's easy to say everything else. It's not easy to make dung and urine."

The country people take these as treasures. Every family takes them to their own fields.

"I have my own way."

"Well, you just get it, and I'll take the rest."

"What about the wasteland in Zhoujia village?"

"It's going to be a few days."

"I won't go there. Keep an eye on it. When they're finished, you'll send me a message.

"All right."

I went to the other side of the workshop to have a look. A few days later, a foundation was built, which shows the size of the workshop.

Everyone is busy, almost all bare arms, see Xia Xi in the past, all busy looking for clothes.

"It's OK. Let's go on."

Xia Xi doesn't care. She turns to see that there is no problem. She goes to the workshop.

I went in and said a few words to Wei CAI. Seeing that the weather was almost over, I went back to the county in a carriage.

At the door of the shop, I saw Mr. Zhang standing there and walking over, "Mr. Zhang, do you know where people's feces and urine have gone?"

People in the county don't farm, so it's useless to use manure and urine. Naturally, they won't be as precious as countrymen.

Master Zhang shook his head. "I don't know."

Every household uses clean buckets, and people come to collect them every day. As for where to get them, Mr. Zhang really doesn't know.

"You ask for me."

Mr. Zhang went to the Yamen and asked the master.

"Well, it's all taken away by master Dou of Doujia village."

Dung and urine are paid to the employees every day, and they have to pay for it. When they pour it out of the city, it stinks in summer. Fortunately, Mr. Dou came to the house and said that he would pay for the workers who came to the house on the condition that the dung and urine would be sent to his village, and that he would give another hundred taels of silver every year.

The county magistrate is not happy. Of course he should.

After the master answered, he was very puzzled. He asked Master Zhang, "what are you doing here?"

"She bought wasteland. She wants to grow sweet potatoes. She needs some."

Master nodded.

Master Zhang comes back to tell Xia Xi.

Xia Xi thought, let him lead himself to find the master, "master, in this way, you see if you can give Mr. Dou a discussion, this feces and urine to us?"

I have dozens of acres of wasteland in my hands, and I need a lot of manure and urine every year. With this natural thing, I don't have to worry about the fertilizer in the field.

"This..."

The master stroked his beard and was in a dilemma.

"It's easy to say about silver."

Master then relaxed, "in this way, I'll help you to talk to master Dou. If he wants to, the rest is easy to say."

"Thank you, master."

……

When they left, the master turned his eyes and went to the back hall to find the county master and told him the story.

The county master narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard. After a while, he said, "master, how much silver do you think we need?"

"This..."

The master thought for a moment, and stretched out two fingers, "can't be less than this number?"

The county master's eyes narrowed more severely, as if he couldn't really see. He stretched out a few fingers in the end.

The master added another one, "how about these?"

The county master waved his hand, and the master went to Dou Jiazhuang happily.

The next day, he replied, "Mr. Dou is very reluctant. It took me a lot of time to agree. In this way, your family's income for one month, master Dou has collected this month and paid the money, and you will pay next month. "

"Thank you, master."

The master waved his hand, "but this is about the cost

Xia Xi guessed yesterday that he would ask for silver and asked with a smile, "how much?"

Master stretched out three fingers, "at least this number."

No one knows the agreement with master Dou except the county magistrate and him, and the master is not afraid of her to inquire.

"A little more. As you know, my land is used to grow sweet potatoes. It's only half a liang of silver for 500 Jin per mu. If you want so much dung for me, isn't it too much? "

As soon as she said that, the master was a little worried, "Lady Xia, you can't do that. With all this dung and urine, you will have a high yield in the field."

Xia Xi shakes her head, "that's too much. I can accept more than ten Liang. No matter how much, it really can't work."

"You..."

The master is a little angry.
