Traveling through a farmer's home: farming to make a fortune and raise children

Chapter 526 Chapter 526 Finally got it

When Lin He packed up and went out, he discovered that although Li Changhui had not taken a bath in the hot spring, he had already bathed and changed clothes. No wonder he had been out for so long.

Not long after, the three children were brought over by the maid. It seemed that they were all neatly cleaned up, with surprise and curiosity on their faces.

Brothers Li Hao and Li An were the most shocked: "Mom, this place is so big. We each have our own courtyard. They all look great."

Li Hao was also surprised and asked: "Father, mother, are we going to live here from now on? What about my eldest brother studying? It seems a bit far to the city."

The three brothers were in another carriage just now and did not know what Cuiyan said.

"Don't worry about studying, but you may not be able to go home every day in the future. You have to get used to it."

"Ah?" Li An was shocked, and then reluctantly said: "Mom, wouldn't that mean that we won't be able to eat food at home in the future?"

After staying outside for such a long time, the three brothers agreed that nothing they eat outside is as delicious as what they eat at home.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin He knocked him on the head: "Why do you only think about eating? Besides, there is nothing in the fields now, and all the food is bought, isn't it the same?"

Only what they grow at home is delicious. Everything else is the same. Once it is grown in the fields, where will it be eaten?
Li An suddenly realized: "Yes."

At this time, Cuiyan led rows of maids in, each holding exquisite dinner plates in their hands.

"Mrs. Lin, it's noon, and the kitchen has prepared some delicious meals."

Then he motioned to an older woman behind him: "This is Aunt Zhu, the steward of the kitchen, Madam and the three gentlemen. If you want to eat anything from now on, just tell Aunt Zhu."

Aunt Zhu hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted several people: "I have met the madam and the three young masters."

Lin He tried his best to act like the head of the family and nodded calmly: "Okay."

The maid put the food on the table. Cuiyan also knew that they might not be used to so many people, so she took them down first.

After the others left, Lin He was instantly discouraged and dragged Li Changhui to eat without a trace.

"It's really tiring to put on airs, but if you don't put on airs, you're afraid of being taken advantage of."

There are many people and many things, but Lin He still knows that.

After all, those years of watching palace fights and house fights were not in vain. Although I didn’t learn much from the experience, the more fearful I was, the easier it was to be bullied, so I remembered it firmly.

Seeing Lin He's tired look, Li Changhui shook her hand back and said, "Don't worry about that. Just leave these people in the family to my training. If there are any who are really disobedient, just give them back to Jinrong."

When Lin He heard this, he immediately remembered what he had been thinking when he got off the carriage, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, I almost forgot to tell you. From now on, I will leave everything at home to you and everything in the field to me." How about it?"

After thinking about it, I felt that this was wrong, so I quickly made amends.

"It doesn't mean that all the land will be left to me. I'll definitely be in charge. I can't cover such a large area by myself, but I'll go check it out more often, okay?"

Farming is hard work. She has been lazy for so many years and doesn't think she can endure the hardship.

So it’s better to recruit more people to work, and it’s okay to provide jobs for families who need money.

Li Changhui had no objection at all: "Okay, you have the final say on what happens to the fields in the future."

Lin He suddenly smiled and rolled his eyes: "After eating and taking a rest, let's go to the fields to have a look. I asked Jinrong to find someone to plant a lot of things in the fields, so I just went to see how they are growing."

Li Changhui also remembered it, and at the same time he also remembered what Lin He meant at that time.

"Wine-making?"

It's been several months, and he's still been kept secret.

Lin He was noncommittal: "I've kept it secret from you for so long. I'll take you to see it later. I guarantee it will surprise you!" The three children had already sat down to eat. After hearing this, Li Hao quickly asked: "Mom, what about us? ?Can we go and see it?”

Lin He nodded: "Of course, but you can't tell others about this for the time being. Just go and see it. You can't say anything else."

She didn't even tell Jinrong, she just told Jinrong that he would give her a surprise, and then asked Jinrong to help find someone to plant sweet potatoes.

Lin He still remembered what Li Changhui said before. During the border war, there was a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, especially anti-inflammatory medicine for wounds.

Due to the brewing process, the degree of brewing now is not high, and it has no effect on disinfection, but it can be distilled and purified.

This is the only disinfectant that Lin He can think of. Although the pain is certain, disinfection can at least increase the survival rate.

The most important thing is that Li Hao is good at martial arts. If nothing else happens, he should follow the direction Li Changhui had planned before, which would be to suppress bandits first and then join the army.

There was also the previous plague. Although Lin He had not experienced it, he still had lingering fears. After all, he was only a little short of it.

Alcohol disinfection is also very useful in this situation.

Therefore, making wine, making disinfectant alcohol, and growing a large amount of commonly used herbs have become her most important things at the moment.

Of course, it should be kept secret, and the sweet potato wine should be brewed first.

Li Hao and Li An repeatedly promised that they would not say anything.

Although Li Yu didn't speak, he didn't need to speak, and he knew that he would definitely not leak the secret.

The family happily ate, and I have to admit that the cook's skills are really good. Maybe he doesn't know their tastes. They have both sweet and salty foods, and they are all common ingredients, but the heat and taste are also very good. OK

You can't fault it at all.

After lunch, they each went back to their rooms to take a nap. When it was not so hot, Lin He asked Cuiyan to take her to the farm first.

This time, Lin Hechang remembered and raised the carriage curtain to avoid not knowing how to get down the mountain for a while.

As for the farm, it's nearby, not too far away, it's just downhill.

But when they were still halfway up the mountain, Cuiyan pointed out a large area of ​​land to Lin He. This was truly a thousand acres of fertile land, and even there were more than 100 tenant farmers.

At this time, at Lin He's request, almost half of the fields were planted with the sweet potatoes she wanted.

According to Cuiyan, this year's tenants only planted food for themselves, and all the remaining fields were planted with sweet potatoes.

"Jinrong really believes in me, aren't you afraid of being cheated by me?"

She said to plant more varieties, the more the better, so she really planted them all!
Speaking of this, Cui Yan covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Mrs. Lin, this village belongs to you now. You have the final say on what to plant. No matter what, you will not trick my master."

Uh, Lin He is stuck, yes.

"Besides, although these sweet potatoes are not valuable, most of them are used to feed pigs, but if you grow them all and make sweet potato vermicelli, you won't lose money, let alone get cheated."

Sweet potatoes are drought-tolerant and have high yields. Apart from the disadvantage of heartburn if eaten too much, they have almost all advantages. Sweet potatoes can be eaten, the leaves can be stir-fried, and even dried sweet potatoes can be made into pickles.

It can be said that in the past 100 years, many people have not starved to death just because of the existence of sweet potatoes.

When Cui Yan said this, it seemed that Lin He was a little ignorant: "That's true, but I can also make these sweet potatoes more valuable than vermicelli."

Li Changhui understood and was shocked: "Red, sweet potato?"

So, the new raw material for wine making mentioned by the lady is sweet potato?
