She has been in this era for several days, and she has never thought carefully about how to continue her life alone in order to adapt to the environment. Aunt Li's words today gave her a sense of crisis. In this underdeveloped world,
In this era, it is no problem to survive on just a few acres of land, but it is not so easy to live comfortably. If you cannot open source, even if you still have some money in your hands, you will only be left with nothing.
The status of women in ancient times was originally low. If they didn't have something to rely on, they would definitely be bullied if they got married in the future. Although Lin Zhu is still young and is still far away from getting married, she has the soul of an adult after all.
, it is always good to prepare for a rainy day.
Lin Zhu's major is English, which is of no use here. If she really speaks in English, she will definitely be regarded as a monster. Fortunately, she has lived in the countryside before and has some foundation, otherwise she will really be at a loss here. It seems that only
I have been making a fuss about it in the fields. I used to hear about three-dimensional planting, ecological farms and the like, but now I can only explore and practice it here.
Thinking of the ecological farm, Lin Zhu felt that he should raise some chickens first. Here, the chickens laying eggs can not only improve their lives, but also increase their income. The yard at home is very large, and they can be raised freely, so they do not need too much food. In fact,
You can also raise pigs, but the conditions are not yet mature now, and raising pigs does not grow faster than feeding them in modern times. It usually takes a year before they are slaughtered here. It takes too long for her to take care of it alone.
, we can only give up temporarily.
The most important thing is how to make good use of the only five acres of land she has. There is no choice but to plant rice in the paddy field, and it is next to the village chief's house, so it is difficult to do anything. She can only start with the dry land behind her house.
As long as you go up Xiaoqingshan, you will pass by the fields. Aunt Li also pointed out to Lin Zhu which fields her land is. Fortunately, the three acres of dry land are connected together. Lin Zhu has seen it, and they are all sorghum and soybeans.
, soybeans are better, but sorghum fields don’t look that good. Not only are they planted sparsely, but even the connected ears are relatively small. You can tell at a glance that the harvest won’t be very good.
I don’t know if there are any other food crops at the moment. I can only go to the seed store when I go to town. It would be great if I can find high-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. But you can’t underestimate it at any time.
Looking at the wisdom of the working people, how to have these high-yielding grains, there will definitely be people, and they will not remain unknown.
Lin Zhu, who had already thought about the way he wanted to go in the future, decided that without further delay, he took advantage of the two days without going up the mountain to go to the town. It happened to be the market day soon, so he might as well go and have a look, and buy some chickens when he came back.
.
Lin Zhu first went to ask Aunt Li if they were going, and then told Aunt Li about her plan to raise some chickens. Aunt Li supported her very much. She originally thought of asking someone in the village who had hatched chicks, so she could go directly from the village.
However, Aunt Li didn’t go to the market because she had many things to do at home, and she was worried that Lin Zhu wouldn’t be able to handle it alone, so she entrusted her to the market.
She gave it to Lin Dazhu and asked him to wait for her and bring her back with her. It was originally meant to be a foothold, so Lin Dazhu readily agreed. Lin Zhu originally wanted to say that Aunt Li didn’t need to worry, but in the end he couldn’t bear to brush Aunt Li away.
He was so thoughtful that he didn't say anything.
Lin Zhu, who went to the market for the second time, was no longer as nervous and curious as the last time. He only thought about how to buy the things he wanted without anyone noticing. When he arrived at the town, he got off Lin Dazhu's ox cart and made an appointment with him.
I got back to the car at noon, reassured him, and left alone.
Lin Zhu carried the beetle on his back and thought of the east market. He bought some meat and stick bones and left. Because he only had about one tael of broken silver in his hand and it was not convenient to take out the silver ingots for use, so he had to save them.
Lin Zhu, who came out of the vegetable market, found a deserted place, put the meat and bones into the space, and then went to the grain store and seed store to have a look. When he arrived at the grain store, he found that the grains sold here were of various types.
Not much, rice, white flour, sorghum, millet, beans including red beans, mung beans, soybeans, etc. But there are two kinds of rice, one is ordinary rice, the other is glutinous rice. The grain store also sells oil, I asked the store
Only then did Lin Zhu know that people here also eat oil extracted from soybeans, and sesame oil, which is actually sesame oil. However, the price of sesame oil is very high. Generally, rural people buy very little. However, there are also few people who buy soybean oil. Most people
If you bring your own beans and press them, the store will charge you a small fee. After looking at the general situation, Lin Zhu asked the clerk to weigh ten catties for her. One catty of rice costs eighteen cents. Lin Zhu paid the bill with one tael of broken silver.
The waiter was surprised that such a young child would take so much money, but he was just a customer here, so as long as he could pay, he wouldn't ask any questions.
Lin Zhu bought rice and put the rice into the space when no one was paying attention. Then she went to find a seed shop. She asked for directions as she walked, and finally found the seed shop in the west of the town. As soon as she entered, the
When the waiter saw that she was a child, he thought she was coming with an adult, so he didn't greet her.
Lin Zhu didn't say anything, and just watched from the side. It happened that there were several people in the store picking seeds. Lin Zhu looked around in the store and found that the seeds here were all grain and vegetable seeds. It is autumn now, and everyone is
Just buy some vegetables.
After a while, Lin Zhu was the only customer left in the store. At this time, the waiter also noticed her and asked her what happened. Lin Zhu asked about the prices of several types of vegetables. The waiter thought he was asking for an adult and asked her to go.
Ask an adult to buy it together, don't make trouble here alone.
Lin Zhu told him very seriously that he could make the decision, and took out the money and showed it to the waiter, and then he shut up. Lin Zhu bought some cabbage and spinach seeds. If they are planted now, they will still be available in October.
Harvesting some vegetables. Just when she was about to pay and leave, she found a small bag of seeds in the corner of the store that looked familiar. She pointed at the seeds and asked the store clerk what kind of seeds they were. Seeing that she really bought something, the store clerk was happy.
He told her, "This is a watermelon seed. Have you ever seen a watermelon?" The waiter shook his head when he saw her, and said proudly, "This watermelon is delicious. Only rich families can afford it. I heard that one tael is worth one tael."
Where's the silver? I'm sure you've never seen it before." There was no one in the store anyway, and the waiter was a bit talkative, so he nagged Lin Zhu, a child, "But no one here knows how to grow it, so it's not worth it.
The seeds have never been sold. If someone knows how to plant them, they will make a fortune."
Lin Zhu was very excited after hearing what the guy said. If possible, she wanted to give it a try. Although she wasn't too sure, she had eaten it often before and had seen people grow it before, so there should be a chance of success. So she asked the guy
How much do these seeds cost? Because no one knows how to grow them, few people have asked about these seeds. Even if some people bought them out of curiosity, they could not grow them. Therefore, there has been a backlog of these seeds. When the clerk saw that Lin Zhu wanted to buy them, he kindly persuaded her.
It’s not cost-effective to buy it and not be able to plant it.
But Lin Zhu insisted on buying it, and the clerk would not push the business outside, so he had to sell it to her. Since no one bought it, he sold it all to Lin Zhu at a cheap price. He even gave her the bag of seeds. Even so,
It cost Lin Zhu two hundred coins. One tael of silver could probably be exchanged for a thousand coins, and now he has almost spent half of it. There are still chickens that he has not bought, so Lin Zhu quickly left the seed shop and looked for the chicken seller.
After asking the store clerk, he found out that the chicken sellers were usually at the vegetable market, so Lin Zhu had to go back to the vegetable market. He collected the seeds into the space on the way.
When Lin Zhu found a chicken seller, he asked and found out that chickens cost five cents each. The chicken seller was an old woman, because there were fifteen more chickens in the cage. If Lin Zhu wanted all of them, it would be five cents cheaper, a total of seven.
Shi Wen. Lin Zhu had a small chicken body and was afraid that some of the chickens would be trampled to death if he kept so many chickens, so he bought the chickens together with the cages for seventy-five Wen.
