I Made 300000 a Year in Ancient Times

Chapter 8 Farming & Wild Fruits

"is this real?"

Huazizhou... Huazizhou...he also has a name. From today onwards, Huazizhou will be his name.

Mao'er looked at Qu Qing ignorantly. At this moment, he still didn't understand what this name meant to him, but he just vaguely felt that something had changed from before.

Huazizhou, he thought a little excitedly: This is really... really a beautiful name.

Seeing the light in his eyes, Qu Qing knew that he liked it very much, and it was best if he liked it, after all, no one wanted the name he came up with happily, but he was rejected.

"Then from now on, I'll call you Zizhou, okay?"

"Ok!"

Qu Qing didn't have much time and patience to waste time on trivial matters. After deciding on the names of the two, he recalled in his heart the method of farming that he got from Huazizhou yesterday, and began to sort out the first day's plan. I used the seeds, and I was thinking about today’s plan. After I got it done, I fetched water first, then went to the kitchen, accidentally found a little flour, and used the flour to make three-pointed noodles.

Hua Zizhou was on the side to help him.

Qu Qing was thinking while doing it. He once dropped out of school to work and learned to cook to save money. Now it seems that it is not a bad thing at all. If the former pampered self came here, I am afraid that I will live for ten years. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay for even a minute.

But... If it was him at the right time, why would he worry about it?

Qu Qing paused for a while with his hands that had rolled many noodles, his eyes became quieter, and then he continued to make noodles without changing his face.

The texture of the noodles was not as good as modern ones, and it was slightly spoiled. In Qu Qing's opinion, the taste was actually not good, but he still ate it all without saying a word. After washing the dishes, Qu Qing picked up the seeds without saying a word, and let Hua Zizhou walk to the front.

When he arrived in the field, he asked Hua Zizhou to demonstrate how to sow seeds, and then Qu Qing followed suit.

One mu of land is about 660 square meters. No matter how precise the calculation is and how thorough the understanding is, there is only one sentence in the field: put your head down and do it.

There is no room for rejection, he doesn't have any cheats, and he doesn't have anything to rely on. The only thing he has is this cooperating roommate.

After finishing all the seeds, he found that the rice that the mysterious person gave him was just enough for him to plant an acre of land, and there was no extra catty. It can be guessed that the other corn and potatoes should be the same. If this is the case, He can't easily move those seeds in the future.

After the busy work, the morning passed, the sun rose to the highest sky, and the hottest time of the day came. With a tired body, Qu Qing went ashore to the tree, so tired that he lay down under the tree like a dead dog.

After Hua Zizhou was busy, he went to find little Qu Xin who had gone to play somewhere, and taught him sentence by sentence where Qu Qing could not see.

"From now on, you have a new name. If he can let you take his surname, he accepts you and is willing to protect you. You must respect him, be filial, and never call yourself a cat again, you understand? "

The little cat looked at him, and although he didn't understand, he nodded obediently.Sure enough, since then, he has recognized the name.

Qu Qing closed his eyes and rested for a while, when he heard footsteps in his ears, he didn't need to open his eyes to know who these two footsteps belonged to. He didn't expect that he was already familiar with the footsteps of these two people in just one day.

He opened his eyes, sat up straight, and was surprised to see Qu Xin holding a handful of green plants in his hand. He already had a guess in his heart, but he was not quite sure, so he asked, "What is this?" ?”

Hua Zizhou said: "It's the wild vegetables that the cat went to pick, ah, I was wrong, it was Qu Xin who went to pick the wild vegetables."

"Really?" Qu Qing didn't care about his slip of the tongue, but seeing him very nervous, she smiled, got up, went over and rubbed the head of little Qu Xin, and searched stiffly from the chest for a little bit of praise. The child's words: "I know how to help share the burden of the family at such a young age. Qu Xin is really a good boy."

Not only the person who was praised, but also Hua Zizhou next to him were also very happy to be praised.

"Let's go, it will be noon, let's go home for lunch."

After speaking, carrying the tools they brought, the three of them walked on the way back.

Along the way, I occasionally encountered other people in the village busy in the fields. Although many eyes fell on them, no one took the initiative to talk to them.

Qu Qing thought, his current hairstyle is a bit weird, and the original owner doesn't seem to be a good person, since no one greeted him, it can be seen that the original owner's popularity is really not ordinary, he must find a way to get along with him in the future The people in the same village have a good relationship, but now... I should do my own things well, and then consider how to manage interpersonal relationships to obtain better resources.

While secretly analyzing the people in the village, he was also looking at the environment and plants here, pulling out the information he had learned bit by bit in his mind.

While Qu Qing was observing his surroundings, Hua Zizhou beside him was also observing him. After getting along with him for more than a day, he vaguely discovered that Qu Qing is a good person. There is no doubt about it. If he works by himself, he will not treat him harshly, it can even be said that he is very kind to him, and he will speak to him equally.

However, he also discovered that Qu Qing seemed to be a relatively indifferent person. On weekdays, except for the smile he deliberately showed when he needed to comfort himself, his face was always cold and indifferent, making people afraid to approach him. Don't dare to take the initiative to talk to him.

Just like him who was thinking about things seriously at this time, he seemed to be a person who was completely different from himself.

Qu Qing suddenly asked: "Zizhou, in winter here, are most of the leaves in the forest still green?"

"Yes." He replied without hesitation. When he lowered his head and continued to walk, he suddenly felt a little strange. Why did Qu Qing's tone sound as if he...wasn't from here?

He wondered why he felt this way so often.

After Qu Qing asked, he also realized that he seemed to have asked the wrong question. He glanced at Hua Zizhou, thinking that he would not dare to harm himself if he had given him ten courages now. Regardless of your own small loopholes, and some things will become darker and darker.

Afterwards, he summed up the information he had just received in his mind: there are many evergreen dicotyledonous plants here, and the forest is also green in winter, which confirms the characteristics of the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest that he studied in high school geography. This kind of feature is distributed in the eastern part of the continent at 25°C to 35°C north and south latitude on the earth. In the original world, the Yangtze River Basin had this kind of climate. He wondered whether he was in the past of the earth's history.

If it was the past, he might be able to rely on his own historical knowledge. Although he couldn't do much, he might still try to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Of course, there is also a terrible possibility that just flashed in my mind once. In this world, if men can marry men and men can have children, does it prove... Maybe this is really another world?

It seems that at night he has to find a way to learn more information about this world from Hua Zizhou.

Thinking back to the present, the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest area generally has a subtropical marine climate, with rain and heat at the same time, and there is no obvious dry season, which means that as long as he farms well, there will be basically no crop failure due to bad weather. The situation is warm in winter. In this climate, the temperature will not drop below zero degrees Celsius in winter. The problem of heating in winter is easy to solve. There is no need to specially manufacture the kind of kang in the north. You only need two thick quilts to spend the night. , and heating during the day can be completely solved by relying on firewood. For firewood, there are all kinds of firewood on the mountain, so there is no need to worry about it.

It's just that the biggest difficulty he faces now is the problem of food shortage.

Qu Qing preliminarily calculated the three meals a day for the three of them. Even if he saved some food, the rice in his rice jar was only enough for a month when he was basically full, while the oil was Even less, if you only eat two meals a day, you can last for five or six days, but it's still not enough...

One month, which means that within this month, he not only has to plant all the grain in the three acres of land, but also finds a way to get the grain in the field about eight months before it matures. get food.

Even if he can eat crops that are not fully mature at that time, and the time without food is reduced by two months, as if today is the first month of eight months, and there is still one month of food, if this month is subtracted, then he will at least It takes five months to face the situation of having nothing to eat.

In fact, I didn’t have anything to eat, and I didn’t reach this point. There are wild vegetables and fruits on the mountain, and the pear tree in the yard will bear fruit in summer, but without staple food, it must not work.

The food for three people, even for children who eat less, can be regarded as nothing. One person normally consumes 20 catties of rice in one month, and two people consumes [-] catties of rice in five months. This is still the case of one child missing. .

For five months, where would he go to get so much food? In modern times, this would not be a problem at all. Making money is easy, but the trouble lies in this. The hungry, sallow and emaciated adults and children in his family could tell that this place was not a place with sufficient food. Thinking of this, his brows furrowed deeper and his expression turned ugly.

Seeing his expression, Hua Zizhou next to him didn't know whether he was unhappy because he thought of something or because he made him unhappy, so he felt a little hypocritical, and just wanted to hold Qu Xin's little hand, but found that the child was happy because he was praised At this moment, he had already run in front of Qu Qing, accidentally tripped over a small stone, and fell to the ground again on the spot.

Hua Zizhou was startled, usually at this time, the cat would be scolded by others for blocking the way, looked annoying and so on, and if he was not careful, he would be kicked and beaten twice, it wasn't that he suspected that Qu Qing was such a person, It's because he has encountered too many such situations, so fear has become a habit.

Just when he put all his eyes on Qu Qing, he found that Qu Qing was not as angry as he imagined, but was squatting on the ground, helping Qu Xin pick up the wild vegetables on the ground, handed them to him, and then stretched out his hand. Pick up little Qu Xin on his back, and continue to think about his own affairs.

This movement is very natural, anyone who looks at it will feel that they are the biological father and son, and will not have the slightest doubt.

Hua Zizhou opened his mouth slightly, stopped to look at his back for a while, and then chased after him, his heart was filled with a lot of mixed emotions, he couldn't tell what it was, it was sour.

After returning home, Qu Qing made the rice and cooked it first, then called Hua Zizhou, and asked him how to get rid of the insects. After all, the rice at home was already so tense, and if the rice worms ate a lot of it, then it was really hard to survive. down.

"Put it in a cool and ventilated place, and the bugs will crawl away by themselves in a short time."

After speaking, I started to act. There was not much rice. After a while, I got all of them under the clean eaves. After that, I cooked a dish with wild vegetables picked by the cat at noon. Because I knew the preciousness and scarcity of seeds, I put them in the room Potatoes that are planted as seeds will not move for a while.

After eating, Qu Qing got up, went to get the potatoes and began to cut into pieces before sowing. Since there was only one knife at home, he worked for a while under the strong eyes of Hua Zizhou who wanted to help, and then handed over the task to After leaving him, he began to think about repairing the leaky thatched cottage.

He climbed up to the roof, lifted the thatch off the roof, and studied how it was paved. After he understood it clearly, he saw the appearance of the thatch clearly. After thinking about it, he found that most of the ground outside seemed to be covered with this kind of plants.

After going down to the ground, he took the sickle and went out to start cutting the thatch. When he felt that the amount was almost enough, he stopped and took all the thatch back and spread it out in the yard to dry. After thinking about it, he started looking for the hemp rope he needed. Yes, it is estimated that the grass will take a few days to dry.

Seeing that Hua Zizhou and Qu Xin were busy in the house, he couldn't help much in the past, so he decided to go to the mountain to have a look.

After saying that, he went out.

Looking at the back of Qu Qing leaving just like that, Hua Zizhou looked at the whole bag of potatoes in disbelief: he was so relieved to entrust so much food to himself for safekeeping, isn't he afraid that he would eat or hide it secretly? ?

When we were at home, everything related to food was always well hidden, especially from him and Qu Xin, but... Qu Qing, who has only known each other for two days, why can he trust himself so much.

Little Qu Xin stretched out his hand to tug on Hua Zizhou's clothes, and his immature voice was filled with joy and disbelief: "Just now, he praised me."

"Yeah!" Hua Zizhou nodded emphatically.

"Just now, after I fell, he carried me on his back!"

"Hmm! I saw it with my own eyes just now!"

Qu Xin covered his face with both hands, stomped excitedly on the spot, and then ran out, only remembering to say something when he was at the door.

"I'm going out!" he said.

Seeing Hua Zizhou nodding, he ran out happily.

Hua Zizhou wanted to stop him, but when he went out, he found that he had already run away. After hesitating for a while, he let him go with a little worry.

After walking for a while, Qu Qing suddenly found a small figure following behind him when he turned his head. It turned out that it was Xiao Qu Xin who was catching up.

"Cat?"

The panting villain chased after him, still with one eye closed, raised his head, and said softly, "Zizhou said, my name is Qu Xin now, and I am not allowed to be called a cat in the future."

"Okay, so little friend Qu Xin, what are you doing with me?" When talking to the child, no matter who it is, the voice can't help but be soft and three-pointed.Seeing the scars on his arm from the corner of his eye, he wondered why someone would hurt such a small child.

"I..." Qu Xin lowered his head as soon as he asked this question, and drew circles on the ground with his toes, "I just want to see where you are going?"

"I'm going to the mountain, do you want to go with me?"

"Is it okay?" Qu Xin raised his head all of a sudden, and looked at Qu Qing shiningly.

Such eyes can easily soften people's hearts. Qu Qing stretched out his hand to him: "Yes, but you have to go by yourself. In this case, do you still want to go? Now that you regret wanting to go back, there is still time."

"Go!" He replied decisively, and the little him walked forward quickly, and handed his hand to Qu Qing timidly.

Qu Qing grabbed his hand and continued to move forward. Although he brought a child with him, he walked slowly, but Qu Qing wanted to understand the surrounding environment, so it was okay to slow down. Although the child was a little clingy He, however, doesn't talk much, is quite quiet, and is very well-behaved, as long as he is told not to move, he will never move.

Going to the back of the mountain, there is a hillside halfway up the mountain. Little Qu Xin suddenly pointed happily at the hillside and said, "Over there, there are delicious fruits."

Qu Qing was also curious, and pulled him over to have a look. The ground was covered with round fruits the size of a little finger. The immature ones were green, and the mature ones looked close to red. After tasting it, they found that the wild fruits were very soft and sweet.

The little cat had already squatted on the ground and picked the fruits one by one, but he didn't eat them, and carefully picked up the fruits he picked up in his clothes.

"Why don't you eat it?" Qu Qing asked curiously after eating another one.

He said seriously like a little adult: "I want to pick it up and take it back to... Zizhou. He likes to eat it the most. After I take it back, I will eat it with him."

Qu Qing was a little surprised. He never expected that he would care about others at such a young age. Generally, it is difficult for such a big child to know how to share with others.It is also a rare person.

Qu Qing picked one and squatted down beside him, and fed it directly into his mouth: "You eat some of your own first, and we have to go to the mountains later, I promise you, I will help you pick when I come back, and I promise to pick more." .”

Qu Qing chewed the fruit, narrowing his eyes happily.

I like it very much... But for the sake of others, can I be patient?

Qu Qing could see that he was very reluctant, but he still agreed to his request, but instead of eating the fruit in his pocket, he handed it to Qu Qing: "I'll give it to you, but Zizhou didn't eat it, and neither did I." eat……"

Qu Qing rubbed his little head vigorously, and said sincerely: "I really envy Zizhou, who can get such a caring little person like you, if you can treat me so well..." He stopped here After I finished my mouth, I felt that I had become stupid for saying these words to children.

However, he thought that someone who could educate such a good child would definitely not go bad.

When little Qu Xin heard this, his face suddenly became excited. He grabbed Qu Qing's hand and tugged, and said, "I can treat you as well as I did to Zizhou, but can you promise me a request?"

"Oh? What kind of request? Tell me, if it's too difficult, I can't do it."

"It's just..." He suddenly twitched.

After a while, he said, "May I call you daddy from now on?"

Qu Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he was a child, he once dragged his mother to ask why his father hadn't come back. It was very weird, and that scene coincided with the current little Qu Xin.

He touched Qu Xin's little head, and then pulled him to continue walking into the mountain. Seeing that he didn't respond, little Qu Xin thought that he refused, so he lowered his head in frustration, carrying the fruit he didn't send out, saying a word Follow along without saying a word.

After a while, Qu Qing's voice sounded from the front.

"Yes, you can call me daddy. This is your right. You already have my surname, so you can naturally call me that."

Qu Xin's little head suddenly lifted up.

"father?"

"Ah."

Qu Xin, who received a response, felt that he had received the best gift in the world today.

"Father, can I call Zizhou Daddy in the future? In my previous home, I would be beaten if I called him that. If you don't allow me to call him that, I will never mention it again."

"can."

"Then this is a gift from me to Dad. Dad, eat them, okay?" He was persistent in giving Qu Qing his fruit, as if he definitely wanted to give something.

Seeing his appearance, Qu Qing took his fruit. Although some of them were crushed, he ate them all.

Only then did little Qu Xin feel satisfied.

After walking slowly for a while, I started to enter the forest, and found that the forest was like this, and there were no flowers to be seen, so I picked up some firewood and took it in my hand to go home.

Walking through the sloping land just now, I remembered that I had promised the little cat to help him pick wild fruits, and when I turned my head, I saw Qu Xin's eager eyes.

He put down the firewood and explained: "I almost forgot about this important matter, Qu Xin, why didn't you remind me just now?"

"Because, I think...if Dad doesn't want to pick it, then forget it. Qu Xin doesn't want Dad to be unhappy."

Qu Qing didn't say anything, squatted down and wiped his hands with the leaves, and then quickly picked the ripe fruits. After a while, there was a big handful, and the kitten also collected some, and the two returned with a full load.

As soon as he entered the door, Qu Xin rushed inside and called Daddy loudly.

Hua Zizhou was startled when he heard what he called himself. He almost cut his hand while cutting potatoes.

Putting down the knife, he hugged Qu Xin weakly because his hands were dirty. Before he could ask anything, little Qu Xin explained: "Zi Zhou, I will call you Daddy from now on. Daddy has agreed to me just now. From now on, you will be my father, and I will have a father too!"

Just at this time Qu Qing came in, threw the firewood he had picked up into a corner of the yard, met Hua Zizhou's eyes, and nodded when he heard what little Qu Xin said, as if he agreed, and then he went straight to Go to the kitchen.

Hua Zizhou hesitated to speak, he knew that many people in the village rumored that the cat was his own child, and because he was afraid of losing face, he said that he picked it up, saying that he went outside and learned to steal people at a young age In the past, he always scolded those slanderers back, but when faced with the situation that needed to be explained, he had no idea at all. He... is really innocent. Did Qu Qing also think that this was his child? ?

When he was 13 years old, he was jealous of the world because of his brother's humble status. After a big fight with his family, he ran to the mountains. Perhaps by fate, he saw the cat who was still in its infancy.

Normal people would throw away the weird babies they gave birth to, but when he went over to look, he found that there was nothing unhealthy or abnormal about the kittens except for the different eyes and pupils. The reason, probably because the cat is also a brother.

Just as he was immersed in the memories of the past, Qu Qing came over with a large bowl, which was filled with wild fruits he picked from the mountains, washed clean, and there were still drops of water on the fruits, which looked extremely gratifying up.

Qu Qing put the bowl on the table: He took the kitchen knife in the past and said to him: "Wash your hands and go eat. Qu Xin picked it for you specially. You have been busy all day, let me come."

Hua Zizhou stood up hesitantly, stretched his stiff back, washed his hands, and enjoyed the wild fruit with little Qu Xin.

Qu Qing looked at the potatoes that were almost all finished in front of him, and was a little surprised. It was finished in a few strokes, which was equivalent to taking a tail by himself.

According to what he learned last night, he began to arrange the cut potatoes and put them all away, and the sun began to set in the west.

A day is going to pass like this.

The author has something to say: six thousand and five!It's great that I added more today!
