A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Because he promised Aunt Wang to bring chickens back from the city yesterday, Chen Changsheng decided to go to the city today and buy chickens and ducks from the bracelet after finishing his errands.

Breakfast is a simple meal of brown rice porridge and cold wild vegetables.

When she woke up early in the morning, Chen Changsheng looked through the raw bean sprouts. Each soybean had sprouted one centimeter-high sprouts. She called a few children and instructed them to rinse their bean sprouts with water and then put gauze on them. Cover and store away from light.

We are all a family, and Chen Changsheng does not keep these skills private. When the children grow up and start families, they will also use their skills.

Chen Changsheng planned the lunch menu in advance, which included stir-fried minced pork with Chinese cabbage, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried wild vegetables. He also made a tofu and pork ribs soup. There was no need for too many ribs, just put half of it in to give it the flavor of the ribs.

Chen Changsheng asked Dafu to prepare the dishes in advance and wait for her to cook them when she came back from the city. As if she was worried about her eldest son's cooking skills, she explained again, "Dafu, my mother went to the city to deliver goods today. After delivering the goods, she bought some things." Just rush back and you should be back before noon. You prepare the dishes and move the things over first, and wait for me to come back to cook them."

But Dafu smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, today's dishes are simple and I can cook them myself."

As the eldest brother in the family, at such an old age, if his mother was worried about cooking even a few dishes, Chen Dafu would only feel disgraced.

"Can you?"

"I watch my mother cooking on weekdays, and I have learned some tricks. Putting lard in and adding ingredients carefully will make the fried dishes fragrant."

"Well, we don't have ribs and tofu at home. I'll buy some ribs from the city and you can do the rest." Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said to Chen Erlu, "Erlu, you go with me to deliver the goods, and you drive the car. Let’s go back after catching the bus.”

Although she can drive a cart, she is not familiar with it, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. Erlu's cart is good at driving. Anyway, there are three children in the field to take care of, and Erlu can still have more labor with him.

"Mom, you and Erlu can go to the city without worries. I'll take care of the family matters, so don't worry about it."

After hearing what Chen Dafu said, Chen Changsheng relaxed a little and set off for the city.

All the barrels were loaded onto the car. Fortunately, the car was spacious enough. Chen Changsheng also got into the car. Erlu made a "moo" sound in his mouth, flicked his whip, and the bullock cart slowly headed towards the city. .

The sky is clear and the breeze is gentle.

Chen Erlu drove the ox cart very well and steadily, and Chen Changsheng didn't feel dizzy sitting in the sedan. She was a little bored in the car alone, so she simply raised the curtain and sat in the front seat to look at the scenery outside the car.

There are mountains on both sides of the road, and the greenery of the mountains comes into view.

Chen Changsheng took a deep breath of pollution-free fresh air and sighed in her heart. No wonder everyone liked to go to the countryside in their leisure time in the previous life. If she didn't have to worry about livelihood issues, she also felt that rural life was quite good.

"Mom, after we finish delivering the goods today, do you want to buy some more soybeans?" Chen Erlu said, looking at the road ahead.

"what happened?"

"After I finished delivering the goods yesterday, I went to the grain store to inquire again. They said that prices will start to increase across the board today. Although my mother has bought a lot of soybeans, our family has to make tofu puffs every day, and now we also need to grow bean sprouts. I'm worried that I don't have enough at home. Why don't you wait a little while before you grow the bean sprouts?"

If one day we run out of soybeans, wouldn't the family's tofu nao business be cut off? Chen Erlu couldn't just watch such a good business disappear.

Chen Changsheng smiled knowingly. His son was now sensible and knew how to worry about the family business.

"The bean sprouts thing can't be slowed down. There are not many ground vegetables in the mountains. We have to wait until the next rainy day. It is estimated that the ground vegetable business will be interrupted for a while, so the bean sprouts have to keep up.

You are right about soybeans. Mom has also considered it. Our family consumes dozens of kilograms of soybeans every day. It is not cost-effective to go to the city to buy them every day. Mom plans to grow soybeans by herself, but I need to think about it first. pondering. "

Growing soybeans is not like growing rice. Children at home and people in the village can grow rice. If there is something you don’t understand, you can also look up information and buy fertilizer on the bracelet. Chen Changsheng has never grown soybeans, and the information in the bracelet is not enough.

Chen Erlu asked, "Are you worried about something? Yes, the land at home is planted with rice, so there is no spare time. If you want to grow soybeans, you have to buy another land."

The land to grow soybeans needs good land. An acre of high-quality land in Chenjia Village costs one and a half taels of silver. In addition to buying the land, you also have to buy soybean seeds. After all, you will have to spend several taels of silver before you even start planting. No wonder my mother hesitated.

Chen Changsheng smiled and shook his head, "Buying land is not a big deal. You know the income from the family's daily business, which is not small. I am worried about other things."

"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that it will be difficult to grow soybeans? If you buy the land and don't know how to grow it, it will be abandoned by then?"

Chen Changsheng nodded.

"Mom, you have forgotten, our mother knows how to plant. She only planted more than an acre of soybeans. Except for last year's poor harvest due to drought, the land was well served in previous years and she could harvest hundreds of kilograms of soybeans every year. Come on." Chen Erlu said.

"Can you grow breast milk?"

Chen Changsheng didn't remember that Mrs. Chen could grow soybeans. She usually only saw rice in the village and some vegetables grown by various families, and she had to thank Erlu for saying this.

She smiled and said, "That's great! I'll talk to Uncle Li Zheng about buying some land when I get back today. When it's done, I'll ask your grandma to come over and give me some guidance."

Chen Changsheng remembered that the modern soybean yield per mu was about 350 to 400 kilograms. In ancient times, the production level was low. If discounted in half, it would be around a hundred kilograms.

Old Mrs. Chen can produce over a hundred kilograms of soybeans. If she combines the information and fertilizers in the bracelet and combines theory with practice, she estimates that her own soybeans can produce one hundred and fifty kilograms per acre of land.

The family consumes 20 kilograms of soybeans every day to make tofu, which is 7,300 kilograms a year. If calculated at 150 kilograms per mu, it would require 40 to 50 acres of land, but she would definitely not buy that much and plant it. A few acres are enough, but if there are more, the manpower will not be enough.

The mother and son arrived at the county seat while talking.

After first handing over the goods from Liuji Restaurant and Ruyi Restaurant, the two of them went to the dock to finish handing over the Shen family's tofu puffs and then go shopping.

"We haven't seen you for a few days. Will Mrs. Chen personally deliver the goods today?" Manager Wu greeted with a smile and asked his men to take the tofu nao.

"I have been very busy at home these past few days, and there are a lot of things going on in the village, so I didn't have time to visit Manager Wu." Chen Changsheng greeted.

Manager Wu listened to Chen Changsheng's respectful greetings and said with a smile, "No matter how you say hello or not, I'm just a servant in charge, working for Mr. Shen. It's better for you, Mrs. Chen, to be at ease and have a cook." With good craftsmanship, you won’t starve to death anywhere.

Mrs. Chen, your tofu puffs are really good. In the past few days, the guests on the ship have been ordering it. One bowl is not enough, but two bowls are needed. Some guests from far away can only eat three or four bowls when they get off the ship. "

Chen Changsheng said politely, "Although I have a good brain, I am fortunate to have Miss Shen's discerning eye. Otherwise, I would be afraid of the deep alley even if I was drinking wine."

"That's right, my eldest lady still has some business skills." Manager Wu is very proud of the eldest lady he has watched since childhood.

When Miss Shen was mentioned, Manager Wu's face suddenly fell.
