Mrs. Liu watched it for a few days and couldn't help but said to Grandma Liu: "He is too honest. He has not changed at all after so many years."

Aunt Liu smiled, "How about I go and give some advice and ask him to teach the young master and the others more?"

"Forget it, I chose him because he is honest and obedient. If you remind me, if he thinks too much, the next time the three children give him orders, he will come to ask me again, and it will be me who is annoyed." Ms. Liu exhaled.

He said in a tone of anger and laughter: "Forget it, fortunately, Man Bao has the entire old Zhou family behind him, so there is no need to worry about them doing anything wrong."

This is true, behind Man Bao stands the entire brain trust of the old Zhou family.

When it comes to farming, they can't say they are number one in Qili Village, but they can at least be ranked among the top three.

Although it was said that the twenty acres of land were given to Man Bao for fun, there was no way that Old Zhou would not ask.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching and it would be spring after the New Year, Old Zhou asked Manbao, "How many acres of beans, how many acres of wheat and how many acres of rice do you plan to plant in the land? Are the seeds ready?

?”

So Manbao was stunned and asked: "Don't we all start preparing for it after the new year?"

"Yes, but don't you have to go to school?" Lao Zhoutou glanced at her and said, "You won't leave important things like seeds to your servants, right?"

He said: "This is a big deal. Whether a year's harvest will be good or not depends half on the weather and half on the seeds. This cannot be done carelessly. You are young and there are not many people, so you should prepare early."

Man Bao went to Bai Shan Bao to discuss the seeds.

Bai Shanbao then remembered that they had to prepare the seeds themselves.

So the two of them went to find Mr. Liu.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "You have to buy your seeds from the county town. Do you think you should buy them yourself, or let Baizhuangtou do it?"

Bai Shanbao looked at Manbao.

Man Bao's heart was moved. Should their seeds be original, or should they be mixed with future seeds?

Bai Shanbao and Manbao decided to discuss it, mainly because they had not calculated the total number of seeds of various colors needed in the field.

In fact, this is not difficult, especially after having Bai Zhuangtou.

Bai Shanbao took out the data collected previously and asked Bai Zhuangtou to find the former long-term worker to understand the situation.

There are very few crops in Qili Village, either rice, wheat, or beans. Well, all kinds of beans, among which soybeans are the main ones.

What the two children decided to plant was simple and crude. This year, those who planted beans changed to wheat, and those who planted wheat changed to beans, and they could only grow rice in the fields.

With Bai Zhuangtou here, they quickly calculated the number of acres that could be planted for each crop. The number of seeds required for one acre was almost the same. Manbao and the others calculated it out with a simple calculation on paper.

There was no problem with the quantity of wheat and rice. When it was the turn of beans, Manbao felt that just planting beans was too boring, so she said: "You can also plant black beans, red beans, mung beans, kidney beans..."

Bai Shanbao nodded repeatedly, "Didn't the plan you brought earlier say that you would raise chickens at the foot of the mountain? You also need to leave some land to grow vegetables, right? Do chickens eat vegetables?"

Bai Shanbao almost forgot to mention Manbao. She cheered up and said, "There are also fruit trees to be planted on the mountain."

Bai Erlang, who was struggling to do his homework at the side, couldn't continue writing anymore, so he came up and asked, "What kind of fruit trees should I plant?"

Man Bao said: "I like to eat pears."

This is also the only fruit she can eat. It is a pear from a wild fruit tree on the mountain. It is a bit sour, but Manbao also thinks it is delicious.

Every year, the Zhou brothers can get it back for her as long as they go up the mountain, free of charge.

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang liked more, so they counted on their fingers, "I like to eat apples, peaches, and oranges..."

"I also like to eat peaches, oranges, and cherries."

Man Bao looked at them blankly, and then said after a while: "I have only eaten apples and peaches..."

It was something Zheng gave her when she was a guest at Bai's house, but it was not her own home, so naturally she couldn't eat it freely.

When he thought about planting fruit trees in his farm and eating as much as he wanted, Man Bao couldn't help but get excited, "Can you find fruit saplings?"

Bai Shanbao said: "You have to ask grandma."

Bai Erlang: "You can also ask my father, my father is very powerful."

So they went to ask the adults.

Mr. Bai heard that they were making such a big move. They wanted to open up 40 acres of land on the mountain to plant fruit trees. He was a little worried for a while, "Do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed to open the mountain? You have to cut down the trees and weeds first."

Now, we have to clear the rocks, dig holes and plant trees, and it may take three or two years for the trees to bear fruit. With this time, I can buy you enough fruit for ten years."

It's so hard to imagine that the one hundred and twenty acres of land are enough to go to the mountain.

But the three children, who had just discussed fruits, were obviously unwilling to compromise and said, "We are going to plant fruit trees."

Man Bao was more tactful, mainly because she knew how expensive money was, so she said: "We can plant some at the foot of the mountain first, um, just twenty trees!"

Bai Shanbao was disgusted, "It's so young."

Bai Erlang was worried, "What if I don't survive?"

"Then plant more," Bai Shanbao said, "Plant forty trees. Ten peach trees, ten apple trees and ten orange trees."

It’s all what I like to eat.

Bai Erlang was not happy anymore, "There are also cherries, and I need to plant ten of them."

Man Bao scratched his head and asked, "Do you want to plant a pear tree?"

It seems like you can just pick it on the mountain.

Keke spoke, "Host, wild and cultivated fruit trees are different. The taste of most wild fruits is not as good as cultivated ones. The pear branches collected by the host before have been cultivated for two generations. If the host is interested, you can find it in the encyclopedia

In-store repurchase. As a collector, you will receive discounts when purchasing products within the fifth generation."

Manbao's eyes were bright and he asked in his mind, "Then if I collect all the apples and peaches and then buy back the new varieties they cultivate, will they also get discounts?"

"Both types of fruits will be common in the future. After the host is acquired, if a research institute takes over the research and cultivation, it can be done."

I'm afraid that no one will study it. After the target object is thrown into the encyclopedia, it will be left to the logistics to find a place to plant it. Then Manbao will be given some points to encourage and encourage. Well, it is just like the crops she has collected before that will not be lacking in the future.

Same.

When Manbao heard this, she understood. Although she was slightly disappointed, she quickly argued with her two friends, "We still have to plant some pear trees."

So forty fruit trees were not enough. Bai Shanbao waved his hand and wanted to expand the size. Master Bai hurriedly said before he spoke: "Just plant forty trees. There will be no more. You can discuss what kind of trees you want to plant."

Then the eyes of the three children collided, and Man Bao said: "I only plant pear trees!"

So Bai Shanbao went to glare at Bai Erlang.

Bai Erlang was not afraid of him and stared back, "I must grow cherries!"

"Hmph, then let's divide it equally between us. The three of us will share forty trees, and each of us will have thirteen fruit trees. We can plant whatever we want."

Man Bao thought this was fair and was the first to agree.

Bai Erlang thought for a while and had no objection, and just asked, "What about the remaining one?"
