Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

People often say "one mu of land is three parts", which may not sound like much, but according to modern calculation methods, this mu of land is more than 600 square meters.And when Cheng Duo bought four acres, the amount had to be multiplied by four...

So Cheng Duo stood on the ground, and in front of his eyes were endless green wheat, tender corn stalks and a green leafy plant that hadn't grown yet...

Cheng Duo's memory of living in the countryside when he was a child is already very faint. In addition, after the end of the world, he took the way of collecting materials, so he is not familiar with many crops.

That acre of green leafy plants was told by Li Mancang that they were beans when he introduced them.Li Mancang originally planted it and planned to sell it to an oil factory, or to change the oil for his own food. Now that he bought it, he can do the same.

But the field is now full of weeds, and some bugs that Cheng Duo doesn't know are crawling in it.The ancient people planted the land without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the originally thin crops could not grow well, and with the addition of insect pests, even fewer crops could be harvested.

So many modern people don't understand why farmers in ancient times seem to be busy working in the fields all year round. Isn't it enough to take care of them from time to time after planting?In modern times it does.But in ancient times, if the fields were not planted for ten days and half a month, the crops in the fields would either wither or be eaten up by insects.

Cheng Duo thought that he went to find Brother Yong six days ago, and he was also weeding in the field at that time. After so many days, the father and son should have finished their work, right?

That's right, Cheng Duo plans to ask Li Wang and Yong Ge'er and his son to help, plus himself, three people should be enough.

When Cheng Duo returned home, he found two wolves wandering behind his house, and they had dug out a big hole where a section of the earthen wall connected to the ground.

Fortunately, the fence he built was high enough, otherwise the two wolves would have crawled inside and eaten the bacon he had left hanging under the eaves.

Seeing Cheng Duo coming back, there was a long howl of wolves in the woods, and the two wolves who were digging the hole heard the sound, turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs.

When Cheng Duo went to the field, he happened to be carrying a sickle. Seeing this, he threw the sickle without thinking, and hit a wolf on the hind leg!

The wolf's hind legs were pierced by the sickle, and it struggled and howled on the ground, trying to escape, but Cheng Duo stepped forward and broke its neck.

It was also at this time that he felt a gaze looking at it from the depths of the woods. Cheng Duo pulled out his sickle and looked back, just in time to meet the dark eyes of the wolf.

It also left the "Medal" bestowed by Cheng Duo on half of its face, a scar as deep as the flesh.

The first wolf didn't confront Cheng Duo for long, and soon took the remaining wolf into the woods.

Cheng Duo thought about the woods for a while: wolves are very vengeful animals. He went hunting in the mountains before, and the first wolf attacked him, and now he came to his house to steal things... Cheng Duo believed that it was not only the smell of meat that attracted them, Also because they had a grudge against him.

Now that he killed a wolf, the hatred escalated again...

Cheng Duo planned to dispose of all the prey he hunted. Anyway, the weather is getting hotter now, and the meat won't last long.

In fact, he had this idea before. That day when he went down the mountain with some pheasants, Second Uncle Sha who passed by bought one from him.

Uncle Sha was the one Cheng Duo came to the village on the first day, and when Wu Guihua scolded the street, Li Dazhuang called to stop him.It turned out that Mrs. Sha's health was not good. Seeing that Cheng Duo had hunted a lot of prey that day, he hesitated for a long time before approaching him and asking if he could sell one to him. He wanted to take it back and make soup for his wife.

In fact, these villagers in Yanger Village really rarely eat meat, and eating twice a month is considered too much.Because there are few families who can afford to raise pigs, a piglet costs one or two taels of silver.

Even if the pig is lucky and the pig does not die, it will take them a full year to raise a pig without feed and additives.After a year, the pig will not grow very big, because it grows up on grain and is covered with lean meat.

It is completely impossible to have a finger-wide situation like the modern one.

In addition to pigs, like chickens, ducks and geese, the same is true.Moreover, the villagers are reluctant to kill the chickens, ducks and geese when they grow up, and want to keep the ones that lay eggs.

This also caused Uncle Sha to want to make up for his wife, and finally found Cheng Duo.

Of course, there are also reasons why pheasants are cheaper than domestic chickens.

Cheng Duo threw the wolf carcass into the yard, closed the door, cut a few bamboos, cut open one of them, and plugged the hole with some red mud.

Then he dragged the few remaining bamboos to Yong Ge'er's house. Yong Ge'er swept the yard and was drying dried bamboo shoots and some mushrooms.Seeing Cheng Duo, he was startled.

He went to deliver fresh bamboo shoots to Cheng Duo a few days ago, so he made some food for him and put them at home, so he came to him suddenly?

"Why are you here?" Brother Yong looked out of the fence like a thief, and then pushed Cheng Duo away: "You hurry up, my father has gone to fetch water, and he will be back soon."

Cheng Duo was a little funny: "Why should I leave? I just came to find your father."

"Looking for my father? Why are you looking for him?" Brother Yong thought for a while, and immediately understood: "You want to ask us to help you plant the land?"

"Yes." Cheng Duo nodded in agreement.

He didn't look outside either, he casually put the bamboo at the door, and went straight into the yard. He also lowered his head to study the things in Brother Yong's dustpan, and pointed to one of them that he had never seen before and asked, "What is this?"

Brother Yong saw that he had no way to drive him away now, so he had no choice but to ask him to sit down, while turning around to pour water in the kitchen, and replied by the way: "Land vegetables."

"This ground vegetable...how do I do it?" Cheng Duo asked shamelessly.

"Eat it fried, boiled soup, cold salad, you can do it all." Brother Yong said while handing him the water bowl.

Cheng Duo took a sip of water, then looked at Brother Yong who was sitting on the small stool next to him, and suddenly found something wrong with him: "...You seem to be a little whiter, and your skin has also improved?"

In fact, it was more than that, Brother Yong cleaned himself up a lot.Because the weather was getting hotter, he no longer covered his face with animal skin scarves and hair. His face and neck were clean, except that his skin condition was not very good. His long eyebrows and deep eyes, and his exquisite facial features and contours were close to those of a mixed race before the end of the world. Little fresh meat.

Brother Yong scratched his cheek in embarrassment. He didn't get tanned easily. His previous skin color was due to the potion. As for his skin getting better...

"Well, thanks to the suet you gave me."

"Really..." Cheng Duo looked thoughtful.Brother Yong used to pretend to be because of his two bastard brothers, but now that Li Da and Li Er are missing, he should be able to marry when he regains his true appearance, right?

Cheng Duo's eyes couldn't help but slid from the upturned nose of his younger brother to the red mole between his eyebrows... Thinking of its meaning, his eyelids twitched suddenly, he looked away abruptly, and coughed uncomfortably: "Cough , when will your father come back?"

Brother Yong was also a little uncomfortable: "Hurry up..."

Li Wang came back from fetching water and saw this scene.He frowned, and quickly turned his head to look around, only to find that there was no one around, so he rushed home with half a bucket of water.

His legs and feet are inconvenient, so he can't fill the water every time he carries it.In order to prevent the water from shaking out, fresh pumpkin leaves were placed in the bucket, but the splash was still splashed out from the edge of the wooden bucket as he walked in a hurry.

"Father, you're back." Seeing him, Brother Yong hurried over to greet him. Seeing that most of his pants were wet, he complained again: "I told you to let me go. Look at you, you're leaving in such a hurry." what to do?"

Li Wang glared at him, intending to make him restrain himself in front of Cheng Duo.But Brother Yong didn't understand what he meant, and while pouring water into the water tank, he also reminded him to go into the house and change his pants so as not to catch a cold.

Li Wang had no choice but to drive him away: "Okay, go back to your own room!"

Brother Yong sticks out his tongue and reluctantly leaves.

Li Wang tidied himself up as much as possible before limping towards Cheng Duo.

Cheng Duo had already stood up, hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Uncle Li."

Li Wang nodded, deliberately unable to say Cheng Duo's name: "You are that... the new Orion from our village, what's your name?"

"My surname is Cheng. It's good for Uncle Li to call me Cheng Duo." Then he said, "Uncle Li, let's sit down and talk?"

Of course Li Wang had no objection, so the two sat down, and Cheng Duo explained the purpose of his trip.

After listening to it calmly, Li Wang was actually very disappointed. He could say that he almost thought that Cheng Duo was coming...

Seeing Li Wang's silence, Cheng Duo realized that he had taken it for granted - he bought the land of Li Mancang, but turned around and asked his brother Li Wang for help. Did he ask Li Wang to refuse, or did he refuse?

"Uncle Li..." Cheng Duo wanted to understand, and was about to change his words and say that if it is inconvenient, then forget it.

Unexpectedly, Li Wang agreed right away: "Yes. Brother Yong and I go to help others, and we charge [-] Wen a day. I will charge you the same price. Is it okay?"

Cheng Duo thought it was too cheap, Shanwazi's father, Zhao Shugen, was the one who resisted the package, and each of them had forty Wen, let alone the two of them?

However, for Zhao Shugen's heavy physical work, Li Wang and Brother Yong are both lame and brother, so it's no wonder that they are paid less.

Cheng Duo thought for a while: "Well, I'll pack two meals for you, and Brother Yong will cook for us by the way."

Li Wang looked up at Cheng Duo suddenly, his eyes were strange, but he hesitated for a while and did not object.He has been fooled by Cheng Duo at the moment, if he likes their brother Yong, he won't come to propose marriage; if he doesn't like it, he wants to pay for food and drink, who would do that?

Li Wang couldn't guess that the purpose of Cheng Duo's food and drink package was to get Brother Yong to cook for him...

"That's right." After talking about the business, Cheng Duo thought of the bamboo he had brought: "Uncle Li, can you help us weave a bamboo raft? It's so long and wide enough." Cheng Duo gestured.

"It's okay... But, what are you using it for?" Li Wang was puzzled, it was neither long nor short, it was too short for a fence, and too long for a dustpan...

"Selling meat." Cheng Duo explained, so that he only needs to put the meat and the appropriate size of bamboo into the basket, and when he arrives at the place, place four stones on it, and then he can set up a platform to sell the meat.

Li Wang nodded after listening: "This is easy, I can make it up for you in the afternoon."

In fact, when he heard that Cheng Duo was going to sell meat, he suddenly had a sense of crisis in his heart: he thought that Cheng Duo had escaped before and had no land or money.In the end, it didn't take long to buy four acres of land in one go, and the hunting skills were good, and there was so much meat that I couldn't finish it, so I could sell it.

In a while, the matchmakers from ten miles and eight villages might step on Cheng Duo's threshold!
