Chapter 702 Another 1 years
Xiang Xiang thought: "I really shouldn't have gone on stage at that time. Now, I have attracted so many people."
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "It's okay. If they want to come, let them come. We still have a cup of tea at home. If they come and don't see anyone for a few days, they will naturally stop coming."
These people waited from dusk till night. By this time it was already cold and no one could sit still in the yard. They wanted to go into the house but there was no room for so many people, so they had to go back.
Once they leave, they are all gone.
When Zhou Guo came back from the farm and heard that all the villagers had come to her house to listen to her storytelling, she couldn't help but laugh, "It's okay, just let them go. It's just like that at first, it will get better after a few days."
Li nodded, and then said: "... Or what happened next? Tell us, what happened to the Monkey King in the prison?"
Zhou Guo: “…”
She looked at her family members, and they were all looking at her expectantly.
Especially Zhou Su and others, they went to school and missed such a good opportunity. When they came back, they fell in love with it just by listening to Zhou Gu's brief description. This story is much more interesting than any travel notes.
She shook her head. "Next time. I've said too much today. I'll tell you tomorrow."
Although I can't say it now, but if I say it tomorrow, it seems like I can wait?
This treatment is much better than that of outsiders. You know, they will never hear it in their entire lives.
Zhou Mai asked curiously, "You said this story was written by someone else? Who wrote it?"
Zhou Guo said, "I forgot. I thought this story was good so I wrote it down, but I don't remember much. I've forgotten a lot. You guys just listen to it casually, but don't tell it outside. Especially you guys, don't repeat it in front of your classmates."
A few people nodded. If they didn't want to say anything, then they didn't have to. It was enough for them to listen.
From then on, after dinner in the evening, the family would squeeze on the kang to listen to Zhou Guo's stories. They could not stop listening to how the monkey made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, how he was pressed under the mountain by Tathagata, and how he was rescued.
When the mushrooms in the mountains grow mycelium, the cold winter comes.
Zhou Guo called Lai Zi Tou and his group over and gave them the monthly salary they had received for such a long time. "You have been down the mountain for so long. It is time to go back and take a look. The mountains also need to prepare for the winter. You go back and help. I will write to you in the spring of next year."
He took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it to the bald man, "Take these two hundred taels back with you and buy some winter supplies for the people in the mountains, such as bedding, shoes, socks, food and drink, so that everyone can have a warm winter."
The bald-headed man took the banknote and grinned, "Boss, look, our daughter-in-law..."
Zhou Guo had a headache. "Wife, wife, don't you look at what you have? Do you have a roof over your head to cover your body or a piece of land at home to grow food? You have nothing, and others are living off you?"
The bald man was not convinced, "Of course we don't have any. Our Langfeng Mountain is as big as a mountain. We have houses and land. What don't we have?"
Zhou Guo was annoyed, "Your place is a bandit's den, ask which good girl is willing to follow you up the mountain to be a bandit?"
"... Well, well, we are not bandits anymore. Aren't we doing business with you now? Besides, we don't dare to covet the daughters of good families. Widows will do. There are so many widows. Don't tell me they will never get married in their lifetime?"
Zhou Guo was speechless, "Where can I find so many widows for you?!"
The bald-headed man touched his head and whispered, "I think there are a lot of widows."
Zhou Guo was annoyed, "Go back and wait. You keep asking me for a wife. Am I your father or mother? A blacksmith must be strong himself. As long as you are good, it will be easy to find a wife. Okay, go back. It's an eyesore."
The bald man took his brothers back.
After being out for so long, it's time to go back. They don't know what the situation is like in the mountains, or whether they have enough preparations for the winter. But they have brought enough money back this time, and the most important thing is that this money is earned by themselves.
After they left, Zhou Guo, in addition to taking care of the mushrooms in the mountains, also had to go to the county town from time to time. He was busy every day buying night-blooming incense and collecting ashes.
The things that were brought back were arranged into categories, which made the smell much lighter.
After the first snow of winter, the business stopped.
It was freezing, not only was the road difficult to walk on, but the night-blooming herbs had all turned into lumps of ice, making it difficult for people and animals to survive. Plus, composting had also stopped, so she decided to wait until spring.
Anyway, a lot of fertilizer has been fermented during this period. After the method is improved, the time for fermenting fertilizer has been greatly shortened. Next year, even if all the households in the surrounding villages come to our house to buy fertilizer, we will be able to take care of it.
Zhou Guo was also busy during the snowy winter days. She stayed in the mountains all day long, fearing that her mushrooms would be frozen to death. She also had to take care of the crabs in the pond. She had to get up early every morning to break the ice, fearing that they would suffocate to death inside.
Fortunately, not many flower mushrooms and sheep mushrooms were planted last year, and they have been almost sold out in the past few months. There is no stock now, and there is no need to sell them everywhere.
She goes to and from work every day, and the days pass quickly.
……
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the winter snow melts and spring returns to the earth.
After the spring, more and more people come to the village to buy fertilizer.
Everyone was afraid that there were too many people this year and the village’s production wouldn’t be able to keep up, so they all came early.
Zhou Guo has been stuck in the farm for some time. He sits at a table every day and records the past villages one by one.
Some people even start with eight or ten stones.
She had no choice but to say, "It's just the beginning of spring, and the crops need to be fertilized several times from seedling to harvest. You don't have to buy all the fertilizers at once. It's the same if you buy more later when they're gone. Anyway, we deliver the fertilizers to your door, so you don't need to bring them by yourself."
"What if there is no more fertilizer? Last year there was not enough. This year, more people come to buy fertilizer. Every household in our village comes."
Zhou Guo said, "Don't worry, I promise I will have it. If I don't have it, I will give you my own, okay?"
"Okay, okay, as long as you, Mr. Zhou, guarantee it, I'll be relieved. Then I'll take five stones first. My family has a lot of land."
Zhou Guo smiled, "I know you have a lot of land, twenty acres, right?"
"Hehe, we have a lot of land and a lot of people. There are nearly 20 people in my family. Last year, we used your fertilizer. After paying the tax, we can still have enough food for a month. Our life is much better than in previous years. I'm thinking of buying more this year. The better the harvest, the more delicious food we can have."
Many people hold this idea, and they all add a little bit more on the basis of last year. Anyway, they will not lose money after all, the extra food can be used as compensation, and the more fertilizers they buy, the more they can harvest.
The old man had never farmed before, so he asked, "These people buy so much, can all that fertilizer really produce so much food? If the harvest is not that great during the autumn harvest, won't the harvest after paying back the grain be less than last year?"
