Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

The Zhang family's major affairs are now decided by three people: Zhang Jialiang's grandmother, Zhang Jialiang's mother, and himself. They are known as the three giants of the Zhang family.

The three giants of the Zhang family decided to start secretly hoarding food immediately. They tried not to let other people find out about this action, otherwise it might cause trouble. Other families would live their lives normally, but the Zhang family would have no way to explain why they were secretly hoarding food.

My eldest sister's family and my second sister's family also issued warnings. Although there is a risk of the disease spreading, they are family members after all, and it is impossible to conceal it.

The eldest sister's family is easy to deal with. Chen Xiaoguang listens to Zhang Jiazhen very much, and Zhang Jiazhen listens to the three giants of the Zhang family very much. So now Chen Xiaoguang is almost like a son-in-law who lives with the wife's family.

My eldest sister's family lives in the same courtyard as the Zhang family and eats at the same table. Chen Xiaoguang is now almost considered a son of the Zhang family.

As for the second sister's family, just tell her the news. Whether the Ke family listens or not is not something the Zhang family can decide. After all, the second sister and second brother-in-law are still young and cannot be the masters of the Ke family now.

Since the eldest and second sisters got married, several younger sisters moved to the back house. Now Zhang Jialiang no longer lives in his own small house, but moved to the house where the fourth and fifth sisters used to live, which has more space.

So now the house where Zhang Jialiang originally lived is empty and is used as a hut for storing food. As time goes by, the food in this hut is gradually increasing.

With the cooperation of Zhang Jialiang's grandmother, mother and Zhang Jialiang, there are now more than 300 kilograms of food in his small house.

The matter of stockpiling food was not told to other family members. Zhang Jialiang's sisters were still young and had no experience in dealing with such situations. It would be bad if they let it slip, and besides, they had little ability and could not do much.

After making comprehensive preparations for the difficult period, Zhang Jialiang turned his main energy back to the hunting space.

Zhang Jialiang also has new ideas about the Xinyang Maojian tea trees in the safe hunting space. These tea trees brought him huge profits last year and he attaches great importance to them. Now he wants to expand the number of tea trees as much as possible.

After a long period of reading materials, Zhang Jialiang has gained some understanding of the Xinyang Maojian tea tree. The main way of breeding tea trees is cuttings, and the best season is spring.

Now is the right time. Zhang Jialiang decided to expand the scale of the tea trees and double the area outside the original location of the tea trees.

Expanding the area of ​​the tea garden requires clearing the land, removing weeds and gravel, turning the soil, watering, raising seedlings and other steps. It is a very heavy physical labor, and Zhang Jialiang is exhausted like a dead dog with less than an acre of land.

I worked hard on and off for half a month. My hands were blistered, my thighs were swollen and painful, and my whole body was sore every day. I worked one day and rested the next, and it took a lot of willpower to persevere.

Although Zhang Jialiang is strong and physically fit, he has little experience in farming. Farming is not something that can be done by brute force alone. It requires long-term endurance and rich experience.

After finally cleaning up the designated area, he selected some suitable tea tree branches and inserted them into the already cleaned land. Looking at the results of his hard work for half a month, Zhang Jialiang was quite satisfied.

However, through this work, he also determined that clearing wasteland and cultivating land was indeed not suitable for him. It was too tiring and too uncomfortable.

Zhang Jialiang is not a very hardworking person. If the value of these tea trees were not so high, he would not do it even if he was beaten to death.

Now he only hopes that his hard work will not be in vain and that these branches can be successfully cultivated so that he can expand a patch of tea seedlings every year in the future.

After 300 days, or about a year, of growth, the tea seedlings will mature into mature plants, and then the tea leaves can be picked.

The area of ​​this region is not small, and there is still a lot of space for Zhang Jialiang to expand his tea garden. It is possible that this will become Zhang Jialiang's main source of income in the future.

If he really succeeds, he will be extremely rich. Zhang Jialiang is looking forward to it.

Thinking that today was just another ordinary day, Zhang Jialiang went to the river outside the city as usual.

In fact, according to the characteristics of his space, he didn't have to come out of the city. The time in the hunting space did not occupy the real time. Even if he did not come out of the city, it would not affect his entry into the hunting space to hunt every day.

During this period, he often did not go out of the city, but hung out in the library to learn about antique collection and other knowledge that interested him, such as the techniques of Xinyang Maojian tea production and tea tree cultivation.

However, when he felt tired of studying and wanted to relax, he would still choose to go fishing by the river outside the city to relax, and he often caught some fish.

After all, he has been fishing for a long time and has rich experience. Every time he catches more or less fish, it makes a good dinner when he takes it home.

However, Zhang Jialiang discovered that more and more people have been fishing recently. The waters in the city, such as Shichahai, are packed with people. There may be more people fishing than fish.

This is not only true inside the city, but also outside the city. There are many people fishing wherever there are rivers outside the city.

The few places that Zhang Jialiang often went to were inevitably occupied by others from time to time, which made him very helpless. As for the reason, it was probably because the price of food had been rising sharply in recent times.

According to his understanding, the price of grain in the black market has risen a lot, about 20%. Zhang Jialiang is very sensitive to the increase in grain prices.

He has been deliberately hoarding food over the past year and has been keeping a close eye on food prices. Recently, the rate of increase in food prices has increased significantly.

It seems that everyone has gradually realized the reason for the drought. No one is a fool. Some people who are foresighted should have started to make preparations in secret and started to secretly hoard food like him.

When supply exceeds demand, food prices will naturally rise. However, there are not too many people who buy food, and they do not take the consequences too seriously. Therefore, although food prices have risen, the increase is not particularly drastic.

Because of the rise in food prices, some people in the city do not have enough food to eat. For example, those who live in the city but do not have urban household registration and food quotas are the most affected.

Just like Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi in the compound, as well as Banggeng'er and Xiaodang, their food was all bought from outside at high prices, most of which was obtained from the black market.

Because of the rising food prices, the number of people fishing has suddenly increased. No matter whether you can catch anything or not, you have to give it a try.
