The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1129 [1128] Taste little lady 22 (5000+)

Because it involved pretending to be a strong man, Lin Sen told the men in the village not to go out unless necessary.

"Wouldn't the Kingdom of Jin be destroyed just like that?"

Someone asked anxiously. After all, not being able to go down the mountain is a trivial matter. I am afraid that the troubles caused by the change of dynasty will be the people who will suffer in the end.

But who can say for sure?

"It's hard to say. There were quite a lot of families implicated because of the Shen family back then, and most of these families were the mainstays of the Jin Kingdom. Now those who have been devolved to the lower levels, and those who have their heads beheaded, even if they are still alive, may not be willing to sacrifice their lives for the emperor. It’s true that the rest of the court are the emperor’s people, but after a comprehensive comparison, the people brought out by Mr. Shen are more capable.”

For ordinary people, it doesn't matter who is in power, the important thing is not to harm them.

Then for the bandits, they don't even care who is the emperor. After all, in their place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They don't care about who is the official and who is in power, and they don't have the time to care about it.

Not to mention Shen Qing, she had no relationship with the Shen family, whom she had never met before, and the Emperor Shan Gao was far away, so it was not as good as them living a good life, but since the world is chaotic outside, it is better to reduce going out, anyway There is food and drink here, and they won't starve to death.

Of course, she will not lower the charging standard because of the chaos outside.

When the fish grow up, the ducklings can be released into the rice fields, which brings a beautiful scenery to the children.

Their family is not the only one who feeds the ducks. When ducks from other families want to enter their rice fields, they are driven away by their younger siblings.

"Your ducks are big enough to eat our fish."

"What's yours? It's clearly cultivated by everyone. In the future, this fish should be shared by everyone."

Bickering like this happened from time to time, and when the brothers and sisters came home to complain, she comforted them calmly.

"What people said is right. Whether it's the rice in the rice fields or the rice flower fish in the future, they will all be divided equally in the future. When the autumn harvest comes, they will be divided according to the original labor value. Don't worry, your efforts will be shared equally. It’s all in the eyes, and we will not lose points in the future.”

At the beginning, she asked Yu Jingtian to record the credit. Whoever came to help and how long he did it are all recorded. These records will be distributed to them as food and fish according to the share in the future.

She didn't want to divide it in such a small way. After all, when she built the waterwheel, she stayed up many nights, and she didn't see anyone who used the waterwheel to recite her due credit. Take it to heart, why she charges for it is because she doesn't want these people to take everyone's efforts for granted.

The ducklings rush in after the sun comes out, and the children rush back after the sun sets.

Although the chickens ate grass seeds and worms in the forest, she still asked the children to feed them twice a day so that they could grow fast and lay eggs as soon as possible.

As the weather got hotter and hotter, Shen Qing simply took the children to raise maggots in the woods, using fertilizer made from rotten vegetable leaves and food residues, the flies liked the smell, and waited for them to hatch on it, and then used gauze Just cover it up. Although it feels disgusting, it is the best feed for chickens, ducks and geese.

When the children of other families found these flies, they went home and told their parents, and soon someone came to ask her.

She was not stingy with teaching them, and told them the methods and methods. After getting along with each other for this period of time, more and more people began to learn from her words as a standard, so when she said the methods, everyone went home and found their own places. bred.

That's good, it saves their house's flies from being stolen, which is not wronging them, before they asked, the flies really lost a lot.

Like this kind of free-range chickens in the woods, every household will mark their own chickens, ducks and geese. After they are cooked, they will go home after going shopping. If anyone is left behind, they will return Shen Qing would stop and wait for it to come over very spiritually. After observing for a while, Shen Qing thought that the spiritual spring water was not in vain. They seemed to be quite happy eating the space vegetable leaves and the chopped spiritual grass feed.

Their poultry, in addition to going to the woods to eat every day, will also have an extra meal at home in the morning and evening, and the feed and leaves for extra meals are peeled off from their own yard, and some are peeled off after harvesting vegetables in her space, such as rice husks , wheat bran, bean curd, bean dregs, etc., if she doesn't want to eat, she will stay to feed the chickens and ducks.

As long as these chickens, ducks and geese are raised at home, there is basically no such thing as wasting food.

Dirty is a bit dirty, isn't that what the life of a farmer is like?Unlike later generations, there are so many anti-mosquito and insect-repellent products. In this era, a grass curtain is not breathable.

However, after her supervision and renovation of their house, the boys, girls and children have given up the habit of not paying attention to hygiene. When eating and before going to bed at night, she is like a house patrol, going from one house to another to check. Will go home and sleep in peace.

"Are you their mother? Do you care so much?"

Lin Sen scoffed at her approach. Shen Qing's explanation was: "When they form a habit, I don't care about it. This habit is not so easy to change. I used to be lazy before. Without my supervision, I count on Yu Jingtian's Boy, I'm afraid I'll go back to before liberation, because that guy doesn't hold on well, girls are okay, under my nose, those wild boys are used to being lazy."

These children used to be beggars, and they were fundamentally different from bandits. It was hard for her to say this, so she didn't mention it.

In mid-June, the harvest of wheat began. This was a major event in their cottage, and everyone involved rushed over to help.

"Sister, let's go to help with the work, do we have a share in the harvest?"

"This..., I'm afraid there is no such thing?" Shen Qing didn't expect her younger siblings to ask such a question, so she immediately explained.

"A large area over there is grown by bachelors in the stockade. The grain will eventually be received in the stockade. Everyone eats on the same stove. Isn't it different from each other? The fields over there are all home-grown. The ones planted by the mouth will belong to whoever planted it, let’s go to help them, do they take care of our food? This can be regarded as worth the labor force.”

"Then didn't our rice field invite them to dinner?"

After all, the children are still unwilling to dedicate the fruits of their labor.

"We're new here, and it's the first year, and digging these holes didn't take much effort. It's right to share some food, and it will be ours in the second year. Be good, don't worry about it so much. After the autumn harvest, we can still grow wheat on this land, and we can grow enough food for two seasons a year."

The water from the nearby ground waterwheel can be directly diverted. In the distant land, Shen Qing taught them to dig a canal. The people here use the way of stepping on the waterwheel to divert the water. In the case of drilling wells, this method can only be used to divert water.

Fortunately, there are not only one waterwheel, but three waterwheels. In addition to manpower, they can also use the speed of water flow and wind speed. They dug the canal in advance. On windy days, they can make the fields smoother without their efforts. Irrigated.

Everyone did not spare the land after the wheat harvest, and immediately planted radishes and cabbage, and waited until October to pull out the winter wheat.

In short, as long as hard-working farmers are willing to move, they will definitely not be hungry. These vegetables can be sold if they can't finish them, or they can be pickled and eaten until around the Qingming Festival next year.

When the farming season is busy, the cows in the village are not idle. She can't bear to work every day, so she will feed them some spiritual spring water and spiritual grass, so as not to be exhausted. help.

It was hot in July/August, with heavy rains. At first, I was worried about whether the cave dwelling could survive. Later, she thought about it. There was a lot of rain, but the sun was also hot, and the rainstorm came and went quickly. When it is sunny, it is much more than when it is raining, so the water evaporates before it seeps in.

However, the benefits brought by the rainstorm are still there. The grass in the forest grows more vigorously, and a lot of fungi are produced. The fungi picked by the children from the forest will be habitually brought to her to see if they can be eaten. According to her identification, only those that can be eaten can be dried in the sun and preserved for eating in winter, and those that cannot be eaten should be quickly told to friends that this kind of food is poisonous and cannot be eaten.

In addition to fungi, they will also go to the mountains to find wild fruits, dig traps, set up rabbits, and dig out bird eggs. After all, the days of children in the mountains, after they came in, they experienced it from beginning to end.

After the summer harvest, the farmers have also exercised their hunter skills when they have nothing to do. When they have nothing to do, they will go around the mountains to see if they can bring back some game and change their lives at home. If they are lucky , If you hunt a big guy, you will take great pains to transport it to the county to sell it, and exchange it for daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.

Shen Qing was against them going up the mountain at first, worrying that they would not be as agile as others who grew up in the mountains, but later Yu Jingtian led the team personally, so she didn't care.

Unexpectedly, these boys are quite capable, and they will gain something every time they come back. What surprised her the most was that they actually found quail eggs. This made her very excited, so she took it for granted and told them.

"If you encounter something like this, keep it well. The output of this stuff is quite high, and we can raise it in large quantities."

When someone's chickens hatched, she took the quail eggs out to hatch, and immediately built a nest for them after they hatched successfully.

The hatching of quails takes a few days less than that of chickens, about 18 days. During these [-] days, she went to see them every day, and brought feed and spiritual water to the chickens in other people's nests, hoping that the dozen or so quail eggs could hatch successfully.

In the end, all fifteen eggs were successfully hatched. She carefully brought them back to the warm nest and took good care of them every day. Watching them grow up little by little, with plump wings, she was very happy.

Generally speaking, they can lay eggs in 45 days. Under normal circumstances, one egg a day can produce 280-300 eggs a year.

The egg production of quails about 8 months old will decline, and those over 1 year old can be eliminated.

Among the fifteen quails, six male quails hatched, and these six male quails built a nest for them individually, and then put them together when they were hatching.

When I first bought chickens, ducks and geese, I only bought one male, and the rest were females. After 100 days of waiting, the hens have begun to lay eggs one after another, but the ducks have to wait for another month. The geese are more expensive than ducks. It's a month late.

Seeing the chickens they took care of so hard began to lay eggs, the children were very happy, and said that they would save the eggs and sell them in the market.

Eggs can now be sold for two cents each!

I am used to living a poor life, and now I can eat enough, wear clean clothes, and don’t even have to wait until the last meal, and can read and write like those boys. The children are very grateful. After the chicken laid eggs , not willing to eat one, and wanted to exchange it for money, so that the pressure on Shen Qing's shoulders would be less.

To be honest, she was very moved, but she still didn't like these three melons and dates, so she resolutely cooked them for the children.

No one has half an egg every day, because one is not enough for each person. There are nine hens in total. In the first few days, they did not lay eggs every day. There are fourteen of them, at least seven eggs are guaranteed, and the extra eggs are saved by the children. , but she basically used it up when she was cooking.

Aren't chickens raised for eggs?
How much can eggs be sold for?It's better to keep it for everyone to replenish your body!
Now it is a chicken, and when the time is right in the future, she also wants to buy a ewe or a cow to milk for everyone to drink!

But the timing is bad now, otherwise the people here would think how much money she made from them, so take it easy!

At the beginning of August, Yu Jingtian came back from the county seat and caught three piglets, one male and two females. This was what he had discussed with himself a long time ago, because this guy had made all the piglets in advance.

With pigs, the tasks of these children are even heavier. In addition to poultry, they are also busy cutting pig grass and feeding pigs.

In addition to such chores, they also come to learn when she is in class every day. It is so coherent that even she thinks they are too hard, but Yu Jingtian said.

"It's only through hard work that you can become a master. If you don't suffer now, you will end up suffering when you grow up. They, the fourteen brothers and sisters, must choose three or four to be buddies in the spring, so that some people can earn wages outside. , and the rest will stay at home to earn rations, so that the family can turn around."

Although he was already a member of the village when he came to Ruyi Village, Yu Jingtian always felt that the fourteen of them were a family, even though Lin Sen had already regarded himself as a member of their family because he came here every day to eat, but at the critical moment, I still feel that the fourteen of them are one.

The four little girls learned to cook from her every day, and now they have mastered a lot of skills. Yu Jingtian even thought that if they save enough money in the future, they will also open a shop, so that they will have a fixed income every day.

For this idea, Shen Qing deeply agrees and supports it. Selling snacks is the most suitable, but the prerequisite is that the home needs to be settled in advance.It is not suitable to open a store directly after two years of pier, and it is not too late to mention this after a year or two of struggle.

She didn't plan to help them open a store, and being able to teach them the ability to open a store was already the hardest thing she had done. She hadn't thought about paying for it or anything, and she didn't think it was necessary. Yu Jingtian himself would not accept her kindness.

At the end of September, rice flower fish began to be harvested. At the beginning, she bought nearly 9 fry for 220 yuan, but only [-] fish were caught. It can be seen that a lot was lost during this period. It is normal to think about it. The distance between rice fields It's so close, they can see it all day, but they can't see it at night. You don't know who goes down to touch the two tooth-beating offerings!
The size of the fish is not small, each big one is about two catties, and the small ones are more than one catty. Of these 220 fish, she divided out one hundred and thirty or forty fish according to the hard work of the helpers at the beginning, and selected the big ones for distribution. , and she taught the children to make kippers for the remaining small fish that weighed more than a catty.

It just so happens that there are a lot of chili peppers produced, and the chopped peppers and fish are marinated together, and there are a lot of different flavors of appetizers in winter.

Because in addition to chopped pepper fish, there are cured fish, smoked fish, tempeh fish, etc., as long as there are raw materials, Shen Qing can make them, and absolutely guarantee that the ingredients will not be wasted. Before that, those clay pots she baked , also came in handy.

After the fish are fished out, when the water level in the field drops, the rice fields begin to be harvested.

During the harvest, under the call of Lin Sen, many bachelors were invited to help. With their help, the six acres of land did not waste too long, and all the crops were taken back home.

However, six mu of land sounds like a lot, but the yield per mu is not even two hundred catties. In other words, the final yield of six mu of land is only one thousand catties. For a long time, how could it be less than two hundred catties?
But Lin Sen felt that her rice paddy breeding of fish and ducks was effective. "Don't be discouraged. The yield in other places is only 1.39 shi per mu, or even less. Yours is equivalent to 1.6 shi, which is considered a high yield."

She was prepared to accept the low yield per mu because the ancient grain seeds had not been cultivated, but she did not expect it to be so low.

Fortunately, the quality of the rice is acceptable, not to mention full grains, at least there are much fewer empty shells.

In the end, [-]% of the thousand catties of rice was distributed, and they kept less than four hundred catties together with the seeds.

Lin Sen originally wanted to share more with them, but Shen Qing didn't want to take advantage of that, and made a reasonable distribution according to the people who worked at the beginning. Everyone was shocked by her operation. No one thought that she worked She is so meticulous, from the fish at the beginning to the rice now, as long as she is helping, she will not be left alone, which makes those who tried to get away with it before, blush!
But if it is distributed this year, it will be taken away by others next year.

Although their rice field is not next to the stream, after all, they came earlier than them, and the area near the water has long been taken away, but because they built a waterwheel, the direction of drainage is naturally inclined to her six-acre paddy field In the future, if they want to grow rice, they may have to take turns to use this waterwheel!
Shen Qing didn't want to be so thin, and finally harvested [-] catties of rice. Everyone was very happy. Apart from the rice, there was so much rice. Speaking of it, these seedling stalks are still very useful, and they cannot be discarded at will!
