Chapter 880: A thorough investigation
These two are enough for a good meal.
He followed behind, carrying the remaining roe deer.
The two of them were in tandem.
At this time, some people had already come down the mountain one after another. When they met the master and his apprentice on the way, they looked at the things in their hands and said with a smile: "Master Zhou is really amazing. He never goes into the mountain empty-handed. He is really capable!"
It’s not that big. You don’t have to spend money to buy meat. You just have to go into the mountains.
With only money coming in and no money going out, I don’t know how much money is saved at home!
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's okay to come here once in a while, but if I come to the mountains every day like you do, I won't be that lucky. You can make money if you come here every day."
"It was you who gave us that money."
Zhou Guo said: "It's not me, I am also raised by those who bought the mushrooms."
After returning home, Li looked at the remaining roe deer and the two fish in the bucket and smiled. It was just right. She could roast them in the evening. She could cook one of the fish and save the remaining one to make porridge tomorrow morning.
The old man changed his clothes, washed his hands and face, and sat down to grill the meat.
Zhou Guo cleans the grilled pine mushroom slices.
Zhou Mai finished his homework and came out to help with the baking.
Zhou Su smelled the aroma and said intoxicatedly, "Why do you all say this thing is not delicious? I think it smells pretty good."
Li Lai was usually his yes-man, so he didn't respond after hearing this.
Zhou Guo said, "That's because they eat too much. In the first few years when pine mushrooms were first sold, they ate them every day, frying, boiling, stewing, deep-frying, and roasting them every day. They could eat them from the time the mushrooms came down the mountain to the beginning of spring the next year. Who can stand eating like this?"
Zhou Su thought for a moment and said, "I think I can handle it."
Everyone paused, looked over, took a look and went back to their work.
I don’t know what kind of sin I suffered when I was a child, but now I can’t change my eating habits. I have to eat everything without leaving any.
When eating a pear, the only thing left is to swallow the seeds. Only a little bit of the seeds will be left from the pear, and the rest will be eaten.
I enjoy everything I eat.
In the evening, the family sat in the yard eating barbecue and mushrooms.
Zhou Gu was talking about who had come today. Zhou Guo nodded and said, "Brother, you can handle these matters."
Zhou Gu has reached the age where Xiaohua is now grown up, and he is much more steady in doing many things than in previous years, so she basically doesn't need to interfere.
After the freezing weather, Zhou Guo received letters from various farms saying that the land on their farms had been deeply plowed.
She felt uneasy and decided to go and have a look.
These fields will be planted in the spring of next year. It is a matter of great importance and we cannot be careless at all.
When I told Li about this, she was shocked and asked, "Why are you going out when it's freezing? You kid, why do you choose to go out in weather like this when you don't go out when the weather is nice? Aren't you asking for trouble?"
Zhou Guo explained, "Mom, several farms have to plow the land before it freezes. How can I know if they have really plowed it if I don't go? Besides, I have to go to each shop, and this trip will take more than a month."
Li sighed, "I can't stop you and you don't dare to stop me. I'll go find some clothes for you."
She now has two sable coats, which are shiny black, with smooth fur and look expensive.
Zhou Guo put on one piece of clothing, stuffed another piece of clothing into his bag, and left with Hu Zi and the others.
She first went to Song County to take a look and found that the land had indeed been deeply plowed. She was promoted to the position of village head herself, and he is still quite reliable.
The village head said, "Boss, according to what you said, it's not level after it's turned over."
Zhou Guo nodded. "It's frozen now. When the weather gets milder in the spring, it will melt. The soil will dissolve on its own. Have you prepared the Artemisia selengensis seeds I asked you to prepare?"
The village head said, "It's ready. I have had all the seeds in the field collected. There are two warehouses, so there are plenty."
Zhou Guo said: "Lead the way, I'll go take a look."
Two granaries, that's more than enough.
She picked some and looked at them. They were high-quality seeds, dried.
Farms in several other counties have also collected a lot of such seeds. She plans to collect enough seeds on a few plots of land by the beginning of next spring.
Even if there is nothing left by then, after the autumn harvest, there should be enough seeds to grow, and the seeds for these plots of land here will be available and can be sown after the harvest.
The business of the mountain product shop was getting better and better, and the grain shop was also in good order. She took a look around the shops before going to Chengding.
Fortunately, the village heads were obedient and did as she asked.
After the ice freezes, no construction can begin. She returned home before the Tang River froze over. She took a look at the farm and found that many projects were more complete than when she came last time. If she worked for another half a month in the early spring of next year, the project would be completed.
Hu Zi said, "Master, we are done here, what about Engineer Tang?"
Zhou Guo said: "Engineer Tang is so talented, so many people are vying for him, why is he worried about not having work? Several county magistrates have already been trying to hire him, and he can take office as soon as we finish the work here."
Er Pang said happily: "I just don't know if Mr. Tang is willing to leave. I think it's better for us to stay here."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Do you think Tang Gong is a good man? It is said that people always strive for higher goals. Since he can go further, why should he stay in this small village? We can't keep this Buddha here."
The key point is that there is nothing he can do here, and she can't find a suitable job.
She took them to all the counties, big and small, in the north, and visited every place where there were shops.
It can be considered a thorough investigation.
By the time I had traveled all over the north, more than two months had passed.
She calculated the days and found that Zhou Da Cang would be coming out to celebrate the New Year in a month, so she simply went to Huaiyang and planned to stay there for a month. When Zhou Da Cang came out, she would go back with him.
When Mrs. Li heard the news, she couldn't help but get angry. "Now that this child has finished her work, shouldn't she come back? She has to stay on the farm, where there is no one around. I don't know what's good about staying here. Doesn't she know that her family misses her?"
The rest of the family was busy comforting him.
When they came, Dapang was the happiest.
"Master, it will be much more lively if you come to the farm."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Why, are you lonely here alone?"
Big Fatty shook his head and said, "That's not the case. There are so many people in the village, it's just you who are making it more lively."
Zhou Guo looked at him and said, "It's time for you to get married. You won't be lonely if you get married."
Big Fatty was startled and waved his hands, "No, no, no, I don't want to marry a wife."
Zhou Guo frowned and glanced at Hu Zi, "Why don't you want to get married? You are not young anymore."
Big Fatty said: "I think life is pretty good now. I haven't thought about becoming a father yet, and I don't know how to be a father."
He and Erpang have been orphans since childhood. They have never felt the love of their parents and do not know how to be fathers.
Zhou Guo subconsciously said, "If you don't know how to be a father, then learn. When you have a child, you will naturally know how to be a father. It's your child, how can you not be able to be a father?"
