"It's nothing, one acre of land can't cover many curtains. I'll go to the foot of the mountain to get some weeds later, and you guys can help me tie some ropes. It will take a few days." Seeing that the two girls had this idea, Bai Sanshu
No more words to discourage enthusiasm.
Mrs. Bai Liu looked at the way her man doted on her daughter and smiled helplessly.
Now the family has no shortage of money, and has saved enough grain for next autumn's harvest. It is indeed worth the seed money.
"Then it's settled, I'll go buy the seeds tomorrow, dad, hurry up and weave the curtain." Bai Ling agreed with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll go to the fields to tidy up tomorrow." Bai Wei was always diligent and immediately took over the job of clearing the fields.
Next, Sanfang was busy planting winter wheat and had no time for many days in a row.
Bai Ling is not proficient in farm work, but the seeds are produced in space, which gives her a few percent more confidence.
As for things like raising seedlings and planting, Bai Sanshu, a farmer, couldn't be bothered. Bai Ling just had to tell him everything he could think of.
We had just separated and had no livestock, so we could only use stove ashes as fertilizer and sprinkle it on the ground.
When people in the village saw Sanfang fussing about, most of them just watched the fun, but the village chief, clan leader, clan elders, and people who got along well with Bai Sanshu and his wife took a serious look at it, and even took the time to help with the work.
For two days.
"Girl, how sure are you of your winter wheat?" the village chief asked uncontrollably, indicating that he wanted to try planting it together.
"Uncle the village chief, I just have this idea, and I'm 30% sure at most. Anyway, we only have one acre of land at home. If it is successful, it will be an extra season of food. If it is not successful, it will be just a few kilograms of wheat seeds. Don't worry about this. What?
I will write down everything I planted. If it happens, I won’t hide it from anyone who is willing to plant it with us next year." Bai Ling knew what the village chief meant and said truthfully.
In fact, Bai Ling's 30% certainty is also because the seeds are produced in space.
When the village chief heard this, he stopped trying to plant the seeds, lest the failure would make his family feel uncomfortable.
However, Bai Ling said that when the weather gets colder, the winter wheat must be covered with more "quilts", so he took the initiative and hauled nearly two carts of rice straw from home to the third house.
"Third brother, please work carefully in this field. If you are too busy, just go to my house and let me know. If you can really grow this winter wheat, your family will be the great benefactor of the whole village. Maybe the government will reward your family."
What?" After the village chief helped unload the wheat straw, he patted Bai Sanshu on the shoulder and said sincerely.
Bai Sanshu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He couldn't say anything else besides complying with the village chief's words.
After finishing the work on winter wheat, the family began to work on planting winter vegetables. This made it possible to make a winter without fear of no income, and the income would be more than growing crops in a year. Everyone was very busy and happy.
However, growing winter vegetables is relatively troublesome, and Bai Liu can handle the seedlings by herself.
The boxes for growing vegetables can only be made by Bai Sanshu. I worked from dawn to dusk for more than half a month, and then I made more than a dozen large boxes. This was without making them too strong.
As for the soil for growing vegetables, it is the soil obtained when digging the cellar in the backyard. This does not require the trouble of digging far away.
But the most important point is that the room needs to have enough temperature, so Bai Ling suggested that half of the kang should be connected to the end in the west room, so that more wooden boxes could be placed and more money could be spent.
It was impossible to hire people to do the work during this season, so Bai Sanshu had to work alone. The most Bai Ling could do was deliver a brick.
Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Bai Liu wanted to grow vegetables in the east room, but Bai Ling denied it.
"Mom and dad, our family will do it for a year first. If you grow vegetables in your house, if someone comes to our house, wouldn't it be impossible to keep the secret?"
Bai Ling looked at the tangled expressions on the couple's faces and continued helplessly:
"It's a trivial matter. The biggest problem is that I will make less money. But I'm afraid that some people just want to watch the fun and don't want to follow the vegetable planting. They will come here every now and then to ask for a handful of vegetables. Then our hard work all winter will be in vain? Can my parents do it?
Don’t you want to give me some face? Even if everyone knows that this vegetable is expensive and is embarrassed to come to our house to ask for it, but if you come to see this and touch that, can our vegetables still grow big??"
"I listened to my second sister and planted it in the west room. From now on, my second sister and I will lock the house when we go out. Don't tell anyone except our own family about growing winter vegetables," Bai Wei said immediately.
After hearing this, Mrs. Bai Liu stopped thinking about growing vegetables in the east room.
In fact, what Bai Ling didn't say was that growing vegetables would make the house damp, and the people in the east room might not be able to stand the moisture.
If the tide is really bad in winter, let Bai Wei live in the east room and Bai Ling hide in the space.
By the time I finished all this work, it was already the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and it was extremely cold in the morning and evening.
As the weather got colder, her family did not agree with Bai Ling selling fish anymore, fearing that she would get sick if she froze in the water, so Bai Ling went to the river every day at noon and took a fish home to have her teeth cut as a memorial.
Every time Bai Ling went to spear fish, he would bring some fish fry into the space if he saw a species that was not in the space.
"If I have a chance in the future, I must go south and bring in more seafood. I can eat seafood all year round. It makes me happy just thinking about it." Bai Ling said, swallowing his saliva, with the golden ingots shining in his eyes.
"Well, there are also sea cucumbers, abalones, and lobsters. In short, anything that is delicious and can be sold for money must be made available in the space."
Sitting by the stream, Bai Ling picked up a piece of crystal clear white jade and looked at it carefully, the smile in his eyes became even greater.
Nephrite is a medicinal material used to treat diseases and is difficult to find.
Regardless of its medicinal properties, even as jade seeds are expensive.
However, the entire creek was covered with various types of jade, but Bai Ling could not sell a single piece. Bai Ling was helpless.
"I will pick up a few small stones and put them in. I wonder if they will change after being nourished by the stream." Bai Ling said whimsically, and then threw the jade stones back into the stream, causing ripples.
Bai Ling did as he was told, and after landing on the shore, he began to look for stones so that he could test the effectiveness of the stream.
Most of the stones by the river are ordinary, and occasionally you will come across one with a nice shape or a slight texture.
In his previous life, Bai Ling studied traditional Chinese medicine with his grandfather since he was a child, and he often went to the mountains to search for medicinal materials.
Because some minerals are also medicinal materials, Bai Ling also put a lot of effort into them, but he only understood them based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
Later, after being picked up by her own mother who married a rich man, Bai Ling, who originally wanted to apply for surgery, was forced to choose the profession of jade carver, but she was also asked to figure out how to soak jade with Chinese medicine, which not only made the jade more beautiful
The texture is better and more beneficial to the human body.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Ling became famous in the circle in a very short period of time.
Thinking of all the events in his past life, Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh. Everything was like a dream, already so far away...
Bai Ling searched for more than half an hour, not knowing how much he had thrown into the space. He felt tired and planned to go home.
Just as Bai Ling sat down to put on his shoes, he suddenly heard a common sound and looked up suddenly, and saw a figure falling into the water and did not come out for a long time.
"Isn't it because someone can't think about it?" Bai Ling threw away his shoes and ran towards the direction where the man fell into the water, and plunged into the water with a sudden movement.
Soon, Bai Ling saw the figure of a young man flopping in the water. He hurriedly swam behind the young man, put one hand around the young man's armpit, reluctantly hugged the young man's body, and carried him to the shore with difficulty.
