I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 355 Preparing to build a house

 It’s not that they can’t afford it, but the original owner thinks that as a farmer and a scholar, eating brown rice is normal.

 Besides, there are several people in the family who are studying, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstones consumed every year are a huge expense. Compared with white rice, brown rice can save a lot.

 Because of this, brown rice has always been their family’s staple food.

Since her family’s rice has been harvested, the days of brown rice are gone forever. Let’s just think that it’s easy for her to live in luxury and live in simplicity. Anyway, it’s the kind of food that makes her throat sore, and she doesn’t want to eat it anymore.

In the following days, the family fertilized and harrowed the paddy fields, and then transplanted rice seedlings. The whole family worked together again. In two days, the late rice was already standing in the paddy fields, fluttering in the wind.

 With the planting experience in the first season, there is no need for Baiyunxi to follow in the subsequent management.

Bai Anyan took Li Shi through the fields, tending the fields with ease, and was very busy.

And she was happy to have some free time. After the harvest, Baiyunxi asked Lao Er to simply calculate the harvest while she was free.

Perhaps because they provided enough fertilizer, the harvest in the wasteland was greater than that in the former fertile land.

After Bai Anyan made a rough calculation, he ran to Baiyunxi with a face of surprise.

“Mom, I’ve done the math. The spring wheat harvest on the east hillside has been four stones per mu, which is five hundred catties. The yield of rice is relatively low, but it’s still four hundred catties.”

 This is his biggest harvest since farming.

Listening to Lao Er’s report, Baiyun Xi silently calculated in her mind that based on one hundred and twenty-five kilograms per stone, four stones would equal an output of five hundred kilograms, which was lower than the output of one or two thousand kilograms in her time.

 But at this period, the yield of the best farmland was only three to four hundred catties.

 Compared with this, their wasteland can produce up to 500 kilograms, which is considered a high yield.

Calculating this, the harvest of wheat alone is nearly 10,000 jins. Adding in rice, their family also has 14,000 jins of grain.

This is thanks to the seeds and fertilizers she redeemed at the mall. Without these technological skills, it would probably be difficult to achieve.

Thinking of this, Baiyunxi directly ordered his second son,

“Keep the two acres of winter wheat for your own consumption, and sell all the spring wheat. There is also enough rice for your own consumption, and the rest will be converted into money.”

“Mom, we have to make some plans and see if we can build a house. Living in a shack is not a problem. We were lucky to survive this year. If there is another heavy snowstorm and the shack collapses, we will be the ones who suffer.”

Hearing his mother’s instructions, Bai Anyan nodded repeatedly.

“Don’t worry, mother, I will count the grain in the next few days and go to the town to explore the price. If it is suitable, I will convert all the excess grain into money and build a house.”

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Leave it to mom to go to the town to explore the prices. I happen to be planning to go to the town these two days, so I'll explore the prices by the way."

 I heard that the price of new grain every year is good. If it can be sold at a good price, she will start making preparations to build a house as soon as the weather turns autumn.

Baiyunxi sat under the eaves, looking at the yard in front of her and the vegetable patch in the backyard, thinking to herself, how much would it cost to build a square courtyard?

There are many people in the family, and each person needs a suite, which is quite a lot.

Since she wanted to build a house, she wanted to build it bigger at one time to save the trouble of expanding it in the future.

Think about the old house in the past, as long as it is more beautiful than that one, with blue bricks and blue tiles, a high gate tower, and the momentum can be improved first.
