Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 19 Rat

After dividing their respective tasks, filling the bamboo tubes with water, grabbing hoes, shovels, shovels and other tools, Su Mulan led the three children and set off.

This area belongs to the Central Plains, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a lot of land available for planting. But because of this, as long as the terrain is flat enough, most of the land away from the river or the well has been reclaimed by various families. The rest are slopes full of gullies, or woodlands with a lot of gravel and gravel, or woodlands that have grown into wild woods.

 These are not considered good plots of land.

Su Mulan led the three children around for a long time, and finally spotted a slope.

There is no water on the slopes, so no one is willing to work hard to cultivate them. Even the weeds and small trees growing on them are not lush.

"Let's do it here." Su Mulan said, "It's tidying up. The land is not too small, only three or four acres. When the time comes to plant sweet potatoes, it will be enough for us to sell a lot of dried sweet potatoes. I will dig up all these trees. Plane, drag the branches back later and dry them for firewood. Shuiliu, you shovel all the grass, shovel it deeper, and try to get out the roots as much as possible. "

　　The grass roots will be left, and when the time comes, grass will grow again. Then even if you plant sweet potatoes, you will have to work hard to pick up the grass.

Baishui Liu and the three others responded and quickly helped shovel the grass.

The four of them were busy until the sun went down, and then they walked home covered in sunshine. When they were looking at the wild mugwort on the roadside on the way back, Su Mulan cut off a handful and prepared to put it in the house at night. At least drive away the mosquitoes.

 When we got home, the dried sweet potatoes that filled the yard had been gathered into two bamboo baskets by white bamboo leaves and piled up like a hill.

“I’m afraid that if so much is spread out here, it will become damp due to dew at night.” Bai Zhuye said with her little face raised.

“Zhuye is really capable.” Su Mulan praised Bai Zhuye with a smile and rubbed her little head with yellowish hair.

Bai Zhuye grinned, a child's smile, real and simple.

Su Mulan put away the hoes and shovels, "Wash them all quickly and get ready to cook... Well, pick some beans and fry them later."

The bean rack in the yard is quite lush. The long beans are hanging down and have grown to the thickness of chopsticks. It's time to eat.

 The four children hurriedly followed Su Mulan's instructions and got busy.

After pasting the cakes, battering the sticks, and frying the beans, Su Mulan moved the bamboo basket into the house and felt a little worried when she looked at the darkness in the house.

 There are more rats due to poor sanitary conditions, especially farm rats. They have nothing to eat originally, but suddenly there are steamed, soft, sweet and sweet dried sweet potatoes, and they will gnaw them unscrupulously.

Even if another bamboo basket is put on top of this bamboo basket, Su Mulan is not at ease.

Since you want to sell food, you have to ensure cleanliness and hygiene.

"Shui Liu, go to your Aunt Liu's house and ask her to borrow the rhubarb." Su Mulan thought for a while and said.

Mrs. Liu was next door to Su Mulan's house. In the memory of the original owner, Mrs. Liu had a very good relationship with the Baishitang family. She passed away in Baishitang. When the original owner beat and scolded Bai Shuiliu and others, Mrs. Liu often secretly stuffed them into her. They have some food.

However, because the family was living in a tight situation, and after the original owner found out, he beat and scolded her even more fiercely, Mrs. Liu stopped sending food, and only tried to help Bai Shuiliu and the others when they were working in the fields.
