The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business
Chapter 103: Obtaining Food
In this way, time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was autumn, the season for harvest.
Su Anton gave the students in the private school ten days of holiday, which included the two days off during the twenty-day period, so actually eight days were for the busy farming season.
The purpose of the holiday is to let them go home and help with housework, so that they can understand the hard work of their parents. Don't think you are a scholar after just two days of school and don't know the immensity of the world. The students were also given homework, asking them to write an article on the autumn harvest.
On the afternoon of the holiday, Su Andong and Su Zhihao left school to get the food they had hidden on the road when they were fleeing famine.
In front of the family, Mrs. Su asked Su Anton to sell half of the grain he had hidden and bring the other half back. She said, "The grain price outside is very high now. I believe that after the autumn harvest is over, the grain price will drop. We can buy it then."
Because of the impact of refugees, the price of food outside is really high now. The Su family can understand why Mrs. Su said that she would sell half of the food. In fact, Mrs. Su said this just to facilitate the transportation of food back home.
The two men did not drive the ox cart at home, but told their family that they would go to the carriage shop to rent a horse carriage, which was faster. In this way, the ox cart could be left at home and the family work would not be delayed.
Although the rioters in the south, the Shuntian Army, have not been completely wiped out, the route to get food is now completely safe. This time, there is no need to take a detour to get food. You can go directly to the main road and take the shortest route possible, which will save a lot of trouble.
The cellar at home has been dug, and when the grain is brought back, it can be placed in the cellar.
In fact, there was no food to take, as it was all in Su Yuanyuan's space. But he still had to pretend to go out and get the food.
In fact, the father and son went to Feng'an County, Lin County, and only waited until the time came to go home.
After the father and son arrived in Feng'an County, they began to hunt in the mountains and sell the prey they caught. Su Zhihao now had some experience in hunting, and with his martial arts skills, the father and son really caught a lot of prey.
The two would talk to Zhou Huilan through a megaphone every night to report on the daily situation.
Before leaving, the two had already agreed with Su Yuanyuan that when the time came, they would rent a carriage and go home in the middle of the night. In this way, the villagers and the Su family would be asleep, and Su Yuanyuan could sneak out of the house and take the food out of the space.
At this time, Old Lady Su of the Su family predicted that the weather conditions would be very good in the future, so the Su family was not in a hurry for the autumn harvest and wanted to wait a few more days.
The Su family is now busy drying all kinds of dried vegetables, including dried potatoes, dried beans, dried cucumbers, dried eggplants, dried cabbage, dried pumpkins, and dried radishes. The Su family has dried everything that can be dried.
The ten acres of wasteland reclaimed by the Su family are all planted with vegetables, and the Su family can dry the vegetables however they want.
Ever since the vegetables from the vegetable fields were harvested, the three brothers Su Anping, Su Ankang and Su Anyuan would take the vegetables to the county to sell from time to time. Over time, they made a lot of money.
If there are not enough people to tend the vegetable fields and pick vegetables on weekdays, the Su family will hire people to help. The people hired are all from families who settled here at the same time as the Su family.
Previously, the Su family built a warehouse with adobe to store items, sundries, and dried vegetables. The dried vegetables were placed in the warehouse.
The wooden frame had already been built in the warehouse. The wooden frame was based on the blueprint drawn by Su Yuanyuan, and the Su brothers studied and made it themselves. Because the wooden frame was simple to make, they did not bother Zhou Lao Da, the carpenter.
The rabbits that Su Yuanyuan raised had bred quite a few rabbits. As long as the seven families who came with her wanted to raise rabbits, Su Yuanyuan would provide them with little rabbits and give them help. She wanted to continue to develop her rabbit-raising business.
Five days later, the Su family also began the autumn harvest.
The Su family collected the land very quickly because other families would come to help the Su family. The Su family took note of these people and planned to pay them back.
Other families harvested grain from the land, but these families who fled from famine only harvested sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Although these sweet potatoes and potatoes can satisfy hunger, they are not suitable for eating every day. Other families plan to sell some of the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and then buy grain to mix with them.
Moreover, sweet potatoes and potatoes are not as easy to preserve as grains. Potatoes will sprout if not preserved properly, and sweet potatoes will rot if not preserved properly. Even if they are well preserved in a cellar, the preservation time is far less than that of grains.
The people here don't have the concept that potatoes can no longer be eaten after they sprout. In their eyes, these are all food that can fill their stomachs, so how can they waste them? As long as they don't kill people, it doesn't matter to them. If you are afraid, just dig the potato sprouts deeper before eating.
Old Mrs. Su told each family about her family's sweet potato and potato harvest, and everyone was very happy after hearing it.
Firstly, they trusted the Su family very much and were not worried at all about the Su family not paying them money; secondly, after selling the goods to the Su family, they would not have to transport them out, which saved a lot of effort.
Not to mention the other seven families who fled famine with the Su family, even the remaining four families were willing to sell the sweet potatoes and potatoes they grew to the Su family.
The reason why the Su family collected so many sweet potatoes and potatoes was because Su An Dong wanted to open a vermicelli workshop. He would make vermicelli from sweet potatoes and potatoes and then sell them. Vermicelli has a longer shelf life than sweet potatoes and potatoes, and is also easier to store than sweet potatoes and potatoes.
You can also use sweet potato vermicelli to make hot and sour noodles and sell them, and then you can open a food shop in the county.
Su An Dong and Su Zhi Hao estimated the time and returned to Daxi Village at midnight on the ninth day. They had already agreed on the time with Zhou Hui Lan through the megaphone the day before.
That night, Su Yuanyuan and Zhou Huilan did not dare to sleep, for fear that they would accidentally oversleep.
At midnight, Zhou Huilan and Su Yuanyuan quietly slipped out of the house, leaving Old Lady Su to keep watch for them. The three of them had agreed that if anyone woke up and found that the two were not there, they should say that they had gone out to relieve themselves.
When Su Yuanyuan and Zhou Huilan arrived at the agreed location, they saw Su Antong and Su Zhihao waiting there in a horse-drawn carriage.
The two men were waiting there in the dark, with their torches already extinguished, for fear of attracting other people's attention.
Just as Su Anton expected, Zhou Huilan came with Su Yuanyuan. He knew that his wife would not feel comfortable letting her daughter walk alone at night.
After a few people exchanged greetings, Su Yuanyuan took out the appropriate amount of food from the space and put it on the carriage. After that, the two of them quietly returned home. The rest of the performance was up to Su Anton and his son.
