After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

Qiao Lan roughly answered her grandson's doubts.

"Pea seedlings grow very fast, and now is the time to plant peas. Once they grow out, cover them with soil, and they will become fertilizer in the ground, which will not delay the planting of crops next year. There are many rules for farming. People

You can't live without eating words in this life, it is always useful, you can learn from it." Qiao Lan said, reaching into another bucket and picking out the bad beans in the water.

Qiao Lan does not object to her children and grandchildren doing work, but she is a little worried about the children's health. "The water is cold in autumn. Don't touch the water for too long. Be careful of catching a cold. Don't touch it after picking out the bucket."

The Duan family's grandchildren have never been exposed to farming since they were young. For older children, although farming is hard work, they have never experienced it and don't know how hard it is.

For young children, that is a very new thing.

Duan Siqi and Duan Sihua rolled up their sleeves and fiddled with the beans in the bucket, "Grandma, can we plant peas in the field?"

Qiao Lan nodded and agreed, "You can go, but you have to be careful."

Duan Yutao also spoke, "Grandma, I want to keep the peas I planted! Can I just keep a little? The rest is fertile land!"

Qiao Lan naturally agreed to them all.

The children found the target, were full of fighting spirit, and picked the beans faster.

The soaked peas need to be wrapped in damp cloth and watered for about fifteen days until the beans germinate before being put into the field.

Qiao Lan gave the task of watering to the children at home and asked them to watch carefully.

While waiting for the peas to sprout, you can do other things, such as building a chicken coop.

The chicken coop required by the system, no, the chicken house, needs to be equipped with an egg hatching room and a chick breeding room.

A simple chicken house is easy to make, just use straw to build it.

But Qiao Lan read the notes on the incubator and brood room, and they both had strict insulation requirements. Fortunately, the system provided construction plans and drawings, as well as constant temperature monitoring. Otherwise, Qiao Lan really didn't know how to make something out of nothing.

The incubation room is simple, just burn a kang. A layer of straw is spread on the kang, and with a suitable temperature, the fertilized eggs can hatch out the chicks smoothly. This process does not require the participation of the hen at all.

The brooding room is a lot more difficult, and the defecation and heating of the chicks must be taken into consideration. A healthy chick takes 20-60 days from hatching to leaving the brooding room, and it also depends on the temperature.

There were many plans given by the system, and Qiao Lan chose a cost-effective one. She used hollow bamboo racks to raise chickens, and the gaps between the racks were made smaller so that the chickens could not fall in and the feces could be discharged at the same time.

Place a painted wooden board under the shelf. Just clean the feces on the board every day and replace it carefully to maintain the hygiene of the chicken house. The feces excreted by the chickens can be fermented and used as fertilizer, killing two birds with one stone.

As for the issue of heat preservation, since chickens are raised in baskets, they cannot be placed on the kang. The kang must be close to get hot. When raising chickens on the kang, hygiene is a big problem.

So you have to be a ground dragon, dig a special tunnel in the ground, light a fire, and heat this tunnel so that the house can be warm.

It seems simple at first glance, but actually it takes a lot of effort.

Qiao Lan's first job is to draw pictures. It is difficult to describe what he wants in words, but drawing pictures is the simplest and clearest.

It would be much easier to draw the drawings first, and then invite craftsmen in the town who are good at building houses and making kangs to come over and work.

As for the house drawing, it's not too difficult. It only requires elementary school mathematics geometry skills, which is within Qiao Lan's grasp.

Qiao Lan picked up a few charcoal-burnt twigs from the kitchen stove, used two pieces of paper readily available at home, and paired them with a set of rulers she redeemed with 1.8 points from the system. Perfect!

Although the system has a complete set of painting tools, it only costs 20 points, including discounts, and it only costs 18 points. But in Qiao Lan's view, she used 1.8 points to achieve 18 points, and what she saves is what she earns!

If it weren't for the lack of energy scale with bare hands, Qiao Lan wouldn't even want to spend 1.8 points.

Duan Mingjing and Duan Mingqing were going to the town to find work, and they happened to go to the town to hire craftsmen.

In the evening, the brothers brought back the news.

Duan Mingqing: "Mom, I asked everywhere, but none of the craftsmen in the town know how to make kangs. One old master said that the kang-making craftsmen must go to Tongzhou..."

Qiao Lan nodded: "Let's go then? Who among you brothers are going to go?"

Duan Mingjing walked around the town for a day, but he couldn't find a satisfying job and was not in a good mood. When Qiao Lan asked this question, he lowered his head for a long time and remained silent.

The road to Tongzhou is long and one has to walk for a day and a night. He has to drive hard to find a craftsman in Tongzhou, but Mr. Duan is reluctant.

Duan Mingqing saw this: "Mom, let me go." He glanced at the elder brother next to him, and then added a few words. "I have asked the craftsmen in the town, and there are many who can build mud houses. How much does it cost?

It depends on how many people are hired. If there are more people, the construction will be faster, if there are fewer people, the construction will be slower. The fastest one can build it in half a month."

It is definitely better to complete system tasks as quickly as possible.

Qiao Lan: "Invite more people and take the bus as quickly as possible. If you plan to go to Tongzhou, let Chen'er or Sun Ping accompany you. If you have more people on the way, please take care of them."

Duan Mingqing nodded after hearing this, "I understand, mother."

After Duan Mingqing finished speaking, he was ready to go out of the yard to do business.

Duan Mingjing was left alone in the house, raising his head aggrievedly from time to time.

Qiao Lan also glanced at him and asked in a leisurely tone, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Mom, son, I didn't find a job today." Duan Mingjing lowered his head even further as he spoke.

"My son is useless!" The last sentence was long and full of sadness.

Qiao Lan agreed: "It's quite useless."

Woohoo! Duan Mingjing felt extremely aggrieved.

Qiao Lan raised the teapot next to her and poured two cups of tea, "Sit down and let's talk."

"Hey!" Duan Mingjing responded and immediately sat down. Watching Qiao Lan pour the water, he quickly reached out and said, "Mom, let your son come. My son will pour you tea."

Qiao Lan rejected the cheap son, "No, I can still do it."

After Qiao Lan poured the tea, she shared a cup in front of Duan Mingjing.

"Tell me, what job do you want to find? How do you plan to support your family?"

This posture is very much like a big brother educating a lost brother.

Duan Mingjing looked at the tea cup and raised his head a little. There were two reasons why he didn't talk much after returning home. The main reason was that he was tired. After a day of walking out, Duan Mingjing was very tired. The two reasons were that he was ashamed and ashamed.

Ashamed again.

Lantian County is such a big place. If you can't find work on the first day, you can't find it on the second day.

As for Tongzhou above, Duan Mingjing has never thought about it. In his opinion, Tongzhou is too far away from home. Even if he finds a job, he can only earn a hundred copper coins a month at most, and he still has to be treated like a grandson and suffer bullying, in case he is bullied.

, not even a favor, completely unworthy.
