The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1318 [1317] The story of the buried female farming 45 (5100)

With Xiaomang at home looking after the house, she only needs to bring Saner and her younger sister, a few changes of clothes, wild vegetables collected from the mountains, goat milk saved up, a jar of wine, and the pickles and pickled vegetables that she made earlier.

Early the next morning, Xiaomang drove the ox cart down the mountain, and helped Baihe transfer all the things he brought to the ox cart.

"Sister, then you have to be careful on this journey. If you are tired, find an inn to stay. Don't drive at night, it's not safe. If you can take the big road, take the big road, don't take the small road. If you encounter it, bah bah bah , must be safe and sound!"

Xiaomang was afraid that he might say the wrong thing, so he slapped his lips quickly, and Baihe waved his hands at him with a smile.

"Your sister, I'm a female hero who killed wolves. Don't worry, I'm carrying a dagger. It's you who obediently practice calligraphy at home and take good care of my treasures."

"Hey, my dear sister, don't worry, even if I'm hungry, I can't starve them!"

Baihe has never expanded the range of chickens, ducks and geese. Apart from the fact that the place is small, she is also afraid of chicken plague or something, and it is inconvenient to get in and out. Even if she feeds so many, what to do with the eggs?Duck eggs can also be marinated. Eggs are not very tasty when they are made into salted eggs. Let’s make them into boiled eggs. It’s not a habit that everyone can eat, so she needs a farm. If she has a big farm, she will buy a few people to help her take care of it. , agricultural products can develop.

Bai He could even ride a horse, and a mere ox cart was no problem for her, but the speed was not as fast as a donkey cart, especially since their house was an open ox cart.

It's just a frame cart on the back of the ox, which is very uncomfortable to sit on, not as comfortable as their donkey cart with a roof.

So when I went, I had to bring some rainproof tools. Of course, in order to let the cows run fast, she secretly fed her precious pasture.

She has been feeding the grass all the time, vacating a field alone, and can harvest four times a day.

When he came out, he saved a lot for the sheep at home, and told Xiaomang to feed this grass, and he might not eat other grasses.

Because the nutrition of the child must be ensured, the taste of goat milk from the two goats in the family is very different. The milk she fed with pasture is obviously different. The advantage is that it produces a lot of milk, and the disadvantage is that it does not eat grass and grass outside the space Plants, you can be picky. Of course, this sheep is also super good-looking, milky white, and extremely docile.

The mountain road is difficult to walk. Fortunately, the child is old and rarely goes out. He is always excited when riding in a bullock cart. Look at this and ask that. He is small and loud, and he is not very clear about what he is talking about. Can understand what he is asking, of course, he can understand everything you answer.

Compared with the heavy traffic in later generations, the population in ancient times was too small, especially on this kind of mountain road, it is even more difficult to see a few people even if you walk in a day.

Moreover, the ox carts and donkey carts are in the deep mountains and old forests. Even a village may not have one or two. There are not many cases like Baihe and Xiaomang that can be borrowed as long as they are borrowed. If it is not for her sake , it's hard for the cattle to suffer so much, especially since spring plowing is about to begin, and she doesn't dare to waste too much time.

So in order not to delay the journey, it can be said that they ran away in the starry night, and when the children in the middle were noisy, they would stop and rest for a while. The cows ate space pasture and drank space water. With these, it can be greatly relieved. It's exhausting.

"Sister, it's been a day's journey, why don't you take a break and let me try?"

He set off before dawn, and besides eating to comfort the children, he didn't rest for an hour. Now it's midnight, and Liu'er was worried that she couldn't take it.

"You can sleep with the little guy. It's okay. Let's walk slowly. Fortunately, there will be moon these two days, otherwise I really dare not walk this road."

When they came, they brought tea eggs, pastries and water. The adults were okay, but the children also had to eat cold food. The next handful of peanuts or pancakes is also considered as a thank you fee. The trouble is that it is a little troublesome. Children have poor tempers and stomachs, so they have to be careful.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the speed of the cow became slower and slower. After feeling its hard work, she found a forest and tied the cow to a tree.

"It's tired, let it rest for a while." The two sisters got out of the car and removed the frame from the cow's body, reducing the burden on it.

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll light the fire, and I can sleep next to you."

Liu'er helped find dry leaves, branches and wood, and finally started the fire with flint and steel. After waiting for more than half an hour, Liu'er fell asleep.

She found corn stalks and peanut leaves from the space, and threw them to today's strong labor. The cow was really exhausted, and he ate everything on the ground, and only slowly lay down on the ground when he was full. .

She was afraid that the children would be frozen, so she secretly moved out of the space and put a thick quilt on top, while she was wearing a big padded jacket, leaning against the tree trunk like sleeping.

Fortunately, it's spring now, it's not so cold, and there are fewer animals. A bonfire can be used to warn some small animals to approach.

Because she spent the night outside for the first time, she was very worried about encountering bad people. She woke up several times in one night and didn't sleep well. , she woke up, rubbed her eyes and yawned and said to her.

"Sister, before dawn, you should go to sleep for a while, and I'll watch over the rest of the time, and I'll make you some breakfast by the way."

When they came, they brought water and clay pots. It was very convenient to cook porridge or something, and the clay pots could be hung up.

There will be a stream on the road, so even if the road is full when you come here, you still have a chance to pick it up. No matter how bad it is, wouldn’t she secretly transfer water into it?
Bai He took out two sweet potatoes, green peas, corn kernels, and red dates, and told Liu'er to boil them together with the millet.

Just drinking plain porridge is not enough, you have to make the porridge rich and nutritious.

The tea eggs are cold, and they can be peeled off and put into the pot after a while, so that they will be hot.

Before I came here, I steamed a large pot of wild vegetables. The wild vegetables can be eaten cold without seasoning. They can also be eaten with porridge and save on pickles.

After explaining, she picked up San'er and urinated, then lay down next to him and slept for about an hour.

When he woke up, the fire had already been extinguished, and the pot was half-buried in the charcoal fire, and Liu'er was beside him rubbing the cow's head, and what else was there to feed it.

Seeing that the cow had changed positions, Bai He smiled and asked her, "Did you pull it?"

Liu'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's right, there's still a lot of pulling. I've already covered it with soil and leaves. Sister, since I'm awake, let's hurry up and go on our way. Guy, you can really pull!" She ate all the food she fed last night, so it's no wonder that she can pull less!
"I found a lot of grass for it, but it still doesn't want to eat it, so I save it up, and if this guy is hungry on the way, we'll feed it."

"When can we arrive? Can we arrive at noon?"

Bai He looked up at the sky, "If all goes well, we can almost arrive. Let's go to Tangjia Village first, maybe they are all there."

Xiaomang said that Brother Wei Ying is not going to set up a stall now, and is busy running between the Escort Bureau and Tangjia Village.

Now Acropolis and Xiangzi are the only two people working at the stall, and there are not many every day, preparing one hundred copies until they are sold out.

Adults can boil it if they don’t eat hot food, but children can’t boil it at all, especially yesterday, this little guy was just riding in the car, but he was as tired as if he had gone out for a day. When he said that he had porridge to drink and sweet potatoes and corn kernels to eat, San'er was willing to open his eyes, he didn't even look up to eggs, and he was only rare in corn and sweet potatoes, he was really used to it.

Under her strong request, I only ate one egg, no need to rush the porridge, the little guy sucked it with a wooden spoon, it was delicious.

Bai He puts the steamed wild vegetables into the porridge bowl, and the hot soup and rice will not burn your mouth in an instant. There are vegetables and sweet potatoes, a big sticky bowl, and a hot egg at the end, and the comfortable breakfast is finished.

Use the water from washing vegetables in the morning to brush the pots and bowls together, then wash them with clean water, pack up the things, put them on the frame, feed some water to the cows, and embark on the journey again.

In ancient times, everything can be adapted, except that the traffic cannot adapt, but such traffic is not all bad, at least if there are infectious diseases, they cannot spread, at most it will affect people in a small area, and they will not develop outside go.

Therefore, the epidemics in ancient times were not as serious as the consequences caused by later generations.

The sisters and their common brother drove on until around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and finally found Tangjia Village. Just ask the new family who moved to build a house and they will find it.

After they left, Bai He still heard what the women at the entrance of the village said with sharp ears.

"Look, I said that this house is rich, so what's the point of buying that crappy house? Look at the people who come and go these days, they have donkey carts, ox carts, and horses. The conditions are good, but they don't If we know what they are doing, let’s ask a few people where they are, but they still don’t say anything, they’re hiding it.”

"Who are you from other people? If you ask people, you have to say, why are you so funny!"

……

Feeling bored, Baihe drove the ox cart from the east end of the village to the west end of the village. Sure enough, under the old well of the thick locust tree in the west, he saw a new house that had been renovated. To facilitate entry and exit, the door was repaired a little The slope is steeper, and the gate is built in a more dignified manner. Although it is a wooden gate, the surrounding walls are made of solid earth bricks. It is three meters high, and it looks magnificent.

At a glance, she saw the godmother who placed the one-meter-wide land at the door, and when she went up, she shouted: "Grandmother, godmother!!!"

When she first heard Bai He's voice, Aunt An thought she had an auditory hallucination, but when she turned around, she said, "Oh my God, why are you here!"

As soon as the aunt clapped the dirt on her hands, she ran down from above in a hurry. Bai He looked at this magnificent big house and thought that the ten taels of silver were not in vain.

Because she gave ten taels of silver at the beginning, and she had to do everything, earth walls, furniture, doors, house repairs, stoves at home, pots and pans, everything was ready, and the only thing that was missing was the bedding. Having said that, I do it myself, so I don't let the godmother spend money outside the frame.

The godmother was a little embarrassed because she wanted to live in someone's new house, so she took the initiative to bear the cost of the pots and pans at home.

When she came up, she caught San'er who was crying impatiently on the bullock cart, and while comforting her, she turned to look at Bai He.

"Why are you here? You are so far away, just the three of you. You are bold enough."

Bai He saw that there was still dirt on the godmother's face, so she quickly rubbed it with her hand: "Godmother, you've worked so hard, I'm sure I'm worrying about you."

"Why are you tired? We are all one family, don't talk about those two families, look, your sister-in-law brought out the water, we just planted some loofah and pumpkin, look around this house is bare, plant some climbing vines It's better, the seeds haven't been collected yet, so I'll plant some bitter melon, plum beans and so on later, and in summer, there will be endless vegetables."

"As long as you don't plant creepers, that thing, although it looks good, attracts insects and long insects."

The godmother echoed: "It's not a big deal, I also know this, so I didn't hit that point,"

"Hello, sister-in-law Guang, it's really hard work for you." Seeing Xiao Guang's daughter-in-law, Cai Hua, Bai He hurried up to say hello.

Caihua grows very strong, tall and fat. The condition of this family is good at first glance. The key point is that she likes to laugh, but she looks a little abstract, but this does not affect her richness and ability. Seeing Baihe, she is also enthusiastic. said hello.

"Sister Xiaohe, we only met once in a hurry before, and we will spend more time together in the future. You are tired, go in and have a rest, you haven't eaten yet, I will cook something for you."

"That's troublesome sister-in-law."

"They're all from my own family, so why not be polite."

Caihua helped lead the ox cart around the front yard, which was to enter from the back yard. Bai He and Liu Er followed her curiously, and walked half a circle around their house, and found that there was also a distance of one or two meters outside the back yard. In the open space, some fruit trees can be planted in the future.

Compared with the front yard, which has slopes and steps, the back yard is much flatter, and the yard door seems to be convenient for ox carts and donkey carts to enter and exit. It is very spacious. After entering, it opens and passes easily.

"This house is well built!"

Caihua turned her head to look at her, her honest smile was full of envy: "That's not where you spent your money, where is your strength, this is your big brother Wei staring at the construction, saying that it is according to your preferences, when will you be able to do it?" How about drinking your wedding wine?"

Bai He smiled embarrassingly: "If it is fast, it will be the second half of this year? If it is slow, it will be next year."

"Hey, that's coming soon, not bad, not bad, it's finally here."

"Brother Wei is not here?"

"Oh, he was still there in the morning, and he left after dinner in the afternoon. Maybe he went to the city. He didn't know you were coming yet. We can drive the donkey cart into the city later."

The cow ran all the way and had to rest. The donkey shed in the backyard is quite spacious, but this donkey...

"Sister-in-law, have you bought donkeys too?"

"Yeah, isn't this your brother Guangzi who is leaving? He bought it for us before he left, saying it is convenient for us to do business."

Bai He went over to take a look, and nodded in agreement: "This donkey is not bad, it's quite strong, and it's young. My brother Guangzi has always been careful. He doesn't worry about you. He should arrange everything before leaving. How about it, let's start. Do you sell tofu?"

Caihua shook her head: "Not yet, I want to wait until the house is tidied up before going to trouble, otherwise it will be inconvenient for people to come in and out."

After tying up the cattle and putting in fodder and water, Bai He took Liu'er and followed Sister-in-law Guang to the front yard.

I have to say that a bigger place is better. Although this house and this yard are just adobe houses, they are built in a concave shape, with side rooms on the left and right, and three main rooms. In this way, if it rains, the porch will not be afraid of the rain, and the house will not be worried about getting wet. This is really a reasonable design, and it looks like a masterpiece of Wei Ying.

There is also a paved gravel road from the main room to the gate, and you don’t have to worry about slipping and slipping with too much mud on your shoes when it rains, which is rare no matter how you look at it.

"This house is really spacious!"

Entering the house, the inside is also as she designed, without too high beams, if the beams are too high, the house will appear empty, and it will be very cold in winter.

The one on the left of the three rooms in the main room is built with a kang, and there are no other rooms, which were built for her alone.

The house is not high, maybe it looks low to others, but for them, it is easy to clean at this height.

"When the house was built, there were a lot of people who raised opinions because of the height of the house, but Wei Ying insisted that it was not built so high, saying that you are afraid of the cold and have strong warmth retention in winter, and the fence of our house was also built. High, it says it can block the wind, but girl, have you ever thought about how you spend summer, doesn't it block the wind in summer? Low houses will look stuffy!"

But Bai He said indifferently: "It's okay, the house is well built, and it's easy to clean, but the beams that are too high are too empty, and it's not convenient to repair,"

The godmother didn't say anything immediately, after all, this is not their house, Wei Ying and Xiangzi listen to her, what are they outsiders talking about!

After visiting the house, the sister-in-law also made the noodles, and they ate a little casually, Bai He left Liu'er and San'er to take care of them, while she led the donkey and planned to go into the city to have a look.

After riding a donkey for about ten minutes, we arrived at the gate of the city. The gate of the city was bustling like a vegetable market, and there were stalls everywhere. Because you have to pay to enter the city, everyone opened a bazaar outside the city, which is convenient. People from inside and outside trade here, and when there are more people, a scale is formed.

One penny to enter the city, and you have to get off the donkey when you enter the city, and lead the donkey into the city, looking around, and finally at the door of the pharmacy on the busiest street, she saw wandering around the stove, pulling noodles and throwing noodles. Xiangzi did it all in one go, while my uncle was squatting on the ground washing the dishes, and didn't see Wei Ying.

"Boss, come to Erliang Ramen!"

"Okay, please sit down, guest officer, and immediately, hey, sister, why are you here?"

As soon as Xiangzi looked up, he saw Bai He smiling and standing on the street leading the donkey, he quickly dropped the noodles in his hand, and wanted to go over, but she raised her hand to stop her.

"Okay, you are busy with your work. Look, there is a guest. Let's talk about what we have to say later. I will take the donkey home first. Where is Wei Ying? Isn't he leaving? I'll come and see him off."

"Then it's a coincidence that you were in a hurry. He planned to go back to say goodbye to you early tomorrow morning, but he didn't expect you to come here first. In this case, you go back first and go to the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau to find him later. He is not in Tangjia Village. Just go to the escort agency."

Bai He nodded, planning to go home and tie up the donkey first, and then go to Wei Ying.

Wei Ying didn't know yet that his fiancée was about to make an appearance, and he was still unloading shirtless in the escort agency!
