Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 182 Raising the Earth

"After listening, hurry up and get to work. I have to go back early to cook for the head of the family later." Mrs. Zhang shouted angrily. Seeing Zhang Gulai going to weed the grass honestly, she started to work again. Come alive.

Su Mulan didn't notice the Zhang siblings. They carried the sheep spines and other things given by Zhang Menyi back home, washed them, blanched them, and put the sheep bones in a pot to stew them.

 The sheep blood and liver are boiled together and set aside for later use.

By the time evening comes, the fragrant and white mutton bone soup has been simmered richly. Add sliced ​​mutton liver and blood, add some chopped green onions, coriander, etc., and you have a fragrant mutton soup.

 The four big carrot heads shouted that it was delicious, and one of them drank two full bowls before he stopped.

The remaining mutton soup was cooked by Sumulan when she got up the next morning. She cooked some thin handmade noodles and turned them into fragrant and delicious mutton soup noodles.

 In the afternoon, the green bricks and tiles from the brick kiln were delivered.

Following Su Mulan's instructions, he unloaded the green bricks and piled them in the corner. The person who led the cart wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's still a bit hot in the day. If you stay in the sun like this, I'm afraid they'll crack. At night, pour some water on the green bricks, and when the time comes to build the wall, the mud will be easier to stick to. "

 “Sure, I’ve written it down.”

Su Mulan nodded, counted the remaining green bricks, dug out the cracked and damaged bricks, and paid according to the actual number of bricks.

 The lime that Bai Kangyuan bought arrived the next day and cost a total of 350 yuan.

Having bought almost everything, Su Mulan has been busy transporting soil from the fields to the open space in front of her house for the past two days.

He borrowed a platoon cart to pick up the dirt from the big pit that Bai Kangyuan mentioned, and Su Mulan led the four children to pull it home.

Lifting up soil is the most laborious task. It requires shovel after shovel to dig, and the shovels of this era are not as light and easy to use as modern shovels. It only lifts half a car of soil, and Su Mulan's waist becomes straight. Can't get up.

"Mom, take a rest, let's come." Bai Shuiliu gave the bamboo tube filled with water to Su Mulan.

A person is about the same height as a shovel, so just picking up the shovel is a bit strenuous, let alone digging dirt to load it on the car.

　After a few times, Bai Shuiliu gasped for breath.

Bai Lixia brought the shovel over and was eager to try it, but soon sat down on the ground.

"I'll do it." Su Mulan rested for a while and felt she had regained some energy. She took the shovel, rolled up her sleeves, and started digging.

Seeing that Su Mulan was tired, the four carrot heads also helped to dig with shovels, but this shovel really couldn't compare with the shovel, only a little bit at a time, and if you didn't worry about it, you would sprinkle a lot more.

 The four carrot heads discussed for a while and finally found a bamboo basket.

The four of them dug soil into the bamboo basket. When they had dug enough for a bamboo basket, Su Mulan carried it to the car. This way, they didn't have to load it into the car one at a time. It also saved energy when loading soil into the bamboo basket. If so, the speed can be faster, and more importantly, there is no need to worry about spreading soil, and Su Mulan can be helped.

Su Mulan saw that the four carrot heads following her were very busy, so she pursed her lips and smiled.

The five people were busy until the cart was filled with soil. Su Mulan was pulling the cart in front, and the four carrot heads were pushing behind, and they headed home.
