Chapter 163 Pond Mud

Lian Fangzhou casually asked Manager Yang to find out that the two fish ponds will be drained every year, and they will not be irrigated until around April of the following year, and they will take turns every year.

I don't know where Yang Yuanwai heard it, saying that this way, the bottom of the pond can be disinfected, so that the fish raised can grow better!

Lian Fangzhou nodded and smiled after listening to Yang Guanshi's words: "That's true! I'll teach you a method. After the empty pond is filled with water next year, put a sack of quicklime in each of the four corners, which can also kill poison! In summer, it is also very good to go up the mountain to chop down some dense pine branches and put them in the pond!”

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Manager Yang glanced at Lian Fangzhou unsurprisingly, and said with a smile, "Does Lian girl still know how to keep fish?"

"I don't dare to understand," Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "I just know a little bit!"

Guanshi Yang smiled and said nothing more. He was skeptical of Lian Fangzhou's words. He had to inquire carefully when he looked back.

"If the girl wants pond mud, please do so! Anyway, there is a lot of silt in this fish pond! It doesn't matter how much you want! Haha, it's Miss Torrey who dug our fish pond a little deeper! This is also a good thing!" Manager Yang laughed.

"Thank you so much!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and cupped his hands.

It's obviously impossible for her, Lian Ze and Ah Jian alone.

One acre of land needs six baskets, and for one hundred and fifty acres, nine hundred baskets are needed. Lian Fangzhou planned to dig a thousand baskets.

She then discussed with Steward Yang and asked Steward Yang for help to ask if any of the tenants and farmers of Yang Yuan's family would be willing to help?

Of course, it's not unpaid help. For each basket of pond mud picked up, two cents will be paid, and the money will be settled on the same day. About ten people.

Guanshi Yang's eyes lit up and smiled: "Lian girl is really generous, okay, I'll ask you now!"

Soon, Manager Yang brought ten middle-aged men and smiled to Lian Fangzhou: "No more, no less, exactly ten people, Miss Lian, let's see how to arrange it!"

Lian Fangzhou told the ten people that he filled the pond with bamboo baskets and moved it to the designated spot on the shore to pour it out for one count. She asked Manager Yang for a pen and paper and a simple table, and counted them next to her.

These few people heard that a basket can earn two cents for nothing, which is a very cost-effective thing. After listening to her explanation, they all agreed, carrying the basket and shovel, rolled up their trousers and rolled up their sleeves and went down the pond.

Lian Fangzhou did not let these baskets pour out, but put them on the shore. Lian Ze and Ajian carried them into the donkey cart. The donkey cart was full of eight baskets. Lian Ze and Ajian drove the donkey cart to the ground. Send them out, arrange them in turn, pour them out and pile them on the ground.

The pond mud that has been transported to the ground cannot be used immediately. It has to be dried in the sun for a few days before it can be used.

After two consecutive days, a thousand baskets of pond mud were transported to the ground.

Lian Fangzhou also asked people to spread and thin the pond mud so that it would be easier to dry.

The pond mud is done, the next step is the grass and wood ash.

First, organize the 30 people to mow the grass.

The more complex, the more comprehensive the various trace elements.

In Dafang Village, there are many hills protruding from the flat ground or between the hills. Lian Fangzhou took people to these hillsides to mow the grass.

Generally speaking, there are more types of grass on the mountain than on the flat land.

Thirty people wielded thirty scythes, and after half a day, the mowed hay was like a hill in the ground.

These grasses still have to be left to dry for two days. After the pond mud gets up, evenly sprinkle the grass and wood ash and mix them evenly.

These days, Lian Fangzhou, Lian Ze, and Ajian have been busy with this matter, including going to the construction site at the entrance of the village twice a day to take a look and see, until the weeds that burn the grass and wood ashes are also mowed back, and finally they return. Can rest for two days.

After walking out of the construction site that day, Lian Fangzhou heard a voice call from behind: "Miss Lian! Miss Lian! Is that girl Lian!" Full of surprises.

Hearing this voice, Lian Fangzhou's heart burst into anger in vain, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face sank.

It's that guy Cui Shaoxi!

The sound of the car roared, and the people behind him approached.

"Sister, it seems to be Young Master Cui!" Lian Ze looked back and said.

"It's not like, it's him at all." Jian raised her eyebrows.

Lian Fangzhou hummed and said lightly, "Don't pay attention to him! Let's go!"

Lian Ze couldn't say that he liked or disliked Cui Shaoxi, but since my sister said so, of course she listened to her, so she said "oh" and followed Lian Fangzhou. Ajan doesn't care.

Cui Shaoxi took a carriage today, and when he was about to reach Dafang Village, he opened a corner of the carriage and looked out. He happened to see the three of Lian Fangzhou, and he beckoned with joy.

He originally thought that Lian Fangzhou and the others would definitely stop to say hello when they heard his call.

Who knows, apart from Lian Ze looking back at him calmly, Lian Fangzhou and Ajian didn't react at all. Should people go or move forward.

The smile on Cui Shaoxi's face froze, and the waving arm stagnates, and then slowly hangs down, just instructing the driver to speed up.

"It's really shameless! I don't know good people!" Cui Yi couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, indignant.

"Shut up!" Cui Shaoxi gave him an angry look, thought about it, and asked Cui Yi, "Did I offend Miss Lian?"

Cui Yi opened his mouth and couldn't believe it!

When did my grandfather feel so wronged that he lowered his body so much? Really—poor! well!

"No! Absolutely not! They must not have heard!" Cui Yi said with great determination.

No one but him believed it.

The carriage quickly caught up with the three of Lian Fangzhou.

Cui Shaoxi ordered the car to stop, shouted "Miss Lian!" and jumped out of the car.

Seeing him like this, Lian Fangzhou couldn't move forward, so he stopped, nodded at him as an agreement, and said with a smile, "Isn't this Mr. Cui? I don't know what you are doing here with a big driver?"

"Lian, Lian girl!" Cui Shaoxi's heart sank, his face froze slightly, and he was secretly sad.

Lian Fangzhou's tone was polite and distant. Although there was a faint smile on his face, the smile was not at all kind, let alone from the heart.

That smile was clearly perfunctory.

Cui Shaoxi felt that when she smiled at him like this, he would rather she not smile! She spoke in such a tone, he would rather she not speak!

Cui Shaoxi was stunned, speechless.

Even though Lian Fangzhou knew that what happened last time couldn't be blamed on Cui Shaoxi, after all, he didn't know the grievances between his family and his uncle's family, and misunderstandings were inevitable.

However, didn't he notice even the slightest difference?

She believed that the uncle's oath that the young master of the Su family had spoken and handed over the cotton planting to him was not groundless. It must be Cui Shaoxi who said something!
