Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

I am afraid that the time wasted will be more troublesome than spending money to solve the problem.

Zhao Tou and his men were only the lowest-ranking officials, so how could they easily take out so much money? It was only because of the money they had extorted from the exiled prisoners that they were able to make such a large purchase.

It only took half a day for everyone to quickly gather the supplies and equipment needed by the official. However, due to the shortage of manpower brought by Zhaotou, they paid part of the money first and took some away. After going up the mountain, they brought a few more brothers to pay the rest.

The Lin family nodded in agreement.

Zhao Tou and A Ye had reached an agreement, and having achieved the purpose of this trip, he did not stay any longer. He took his men to carry some supplies and hurried up the mountain in the afternoon of the same day.

Although the supplies they purchased seemed like a lot, they were just a drop in the bucket compared to what was stored in the cellar. They could just sell them and make a little profit, and no one had any objections.

The most important thing is that now that God has finally sent rain, the dry and cracked land has finally recovered.

Although they now have some small businesses that have made them earn more money than they dared to think of when they were farming before, after all, for farmers, land is their life and their roots. The hundreds of acres of water-deficient and cracked fields in the village were helpless in the past because of drought, and they could only sigh.

Now, God has given the people a way to survive, and they certainly will not miss it.

Grandpa Lin and his team were eager to get started, waiting for the weather to clear up before carrying farm tools to do the preliminary work of preparing the land, turning the soil, drying the soil, applying fertilizers, watering, etc. Then they would plant soybeans, winter wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and various vegetables.

As for rice, we will not consider it. First, rice has a high demand for water and is very sensitive to temperature changes. When planting in the "last dog days", it is impossible to ensure sufficient rain, so everyone still wants to focus on maintaining stability.

Winter wheat has a growth period of 300 days and matures from May to July of the following year, so we don’t plan to plant too much. We prefer sweet potatoes, potatoes and various vegetables that can mature in a short time.

The women and children in each family wanted to wait until the disaster was over, then raise some chickens and ducks, and even better, catch a few piglets. This way, the village would be more lively and full of life.

Even the barren hill behind the village is planned to be planted with fruit trees. When the fruits are ripe, people can pick them with a basket.

As for that wilted, half-dried pond, we can fix it up and make use of it, put some fish fry in it, and when the weather gets better, the village will surely be a thriving pastoral landscape.

Everyone in the hall was talking and laughing, as if their beautiful vision would soon come true. The rain could bring endless hope and beauty to the hearts of the simple farmers.

Lin Xiaoyue really has no interest in farming. She has no idea what to plant and what to grow in the fields in all four seasons, or how to water, weed, or prevent diseases and pests.

Although she was an orphan, she grew up in an orphanage. At most, during Arbor Day, her mother in the orphanage would take them to plant trees in the surrounding area. She had no experience in working in the fields and was a complete novice.

Although she inherited the memories of the original owner, she only knew a little bit. It was not like those time-travel novels on the Internet, where a person traveled through time, went up the mountain to get potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., and then increased the grain production of the whole country. From then on, life was like turning on a cheat. The emperor continuously rewarded those travelers with titles such as county lady, princess, and princess...

But here she is, there are high-yield potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. They are native to the land, and they are already there without her having to dig them up. How can she copy those people who live on rocket launchers?

As for why the people here are still so miserable despite high-yield crops?

Drought, natural disasters. Not to mention that she has traveled through time, even if she is still in the original plane, the era of advanced technology.

In recent years, there has been no rain in a village in Shangqiu, Henan Province for half a month. With a high temperature of 40 degrees, farmers have been trying every means to water the fields day and night to fight drought, which has seriously affected the sowing and germination of crops such as wheat stubble, peanuts, corn, and soybeans.

There has been no effective rainfall in a mountainous area of ​​Shandong since the beginning of spring, causing reservoirs in some areas to dry up, riverbeds to crack, and crops and fruit trees to suffer. There is only one well left in the village that can be used to irrigate the fields, and everyone is queuing in front of the well to water the corn in the field.

Some more remote mountainous areas have no water sources, or the reservoirs and rivers have long dried up, and there is a lack of irrigation facilities, so people can only drive to other places to fetch water.

In an era with the help of mechanical technology, people can still use water wheels, automatic sprinkler irrigation, and manual irrigation to fight drought. But here, what do we rely on? Manpower, pure manpower. No matter how high the yield of crops you give to the people is, they still have to rely on the weather.

Besides, can a city dweller really learn to do farm work just because he traveled through time? ? ?

Needless to say how outrageous this is.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it, it will make you upset if you think too much.

It’s better for her to just be a salted fish.

……

Without outsiders around, Chun Xing and the other girls became more lively and talkative.

After telling everyone about the experience of going up the mountain, they also shared with everyone the treasure place where they found the mandarin duck mushroom. That place was rarely visited and very hidden. In the future, they could go there from time to time to pick some and bring them back to nourish the health of the families in the village.

As for selling it, forget it. That stuff is extremely precious. They are just ordinary people now. Taking mandarin duck mushrooms to sell would be like a three-year-old child carrying gold bricks walking in a crowded downtown area. It would definitely bring trouble to themselves.

When everyone heard this, their anger subsided a little, but they were still rational. They thought about it and realized that although they were ranked second among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, their status sounded good, but in the eyes of those powerful people, they were nothing.

Without absolute strength to protect themselves and their families, huge wealth is a curse rather than a blessing to them.

I can't hold it.

Although they felt regretful, everyone felt comforted when they thought about Chun Xing's analysis of the nutritional value of mandarin duck mushrooms and the benefits of eating them to the body.

Lin Xiaoyue teased Xiao Si and Xiao Wu while looking at everyone's frustrated and distressed expressions, and felt amused.

In fact, in her opinion, money is just enough to get by, and food is more important than anything else.

Along the way, how many people died on the road due to lack of food and water; how many people exchanged their children for food in order to fill their stomachs; and how many people starved themselves to death in order to give their families one more day to live and have one more hope...

She had seen the darkness of the end of the world, where human nature had been distorted and mutated in order to survive under extreme circumstances.

There are no super powers, no zombies, no intrigue or deception here, but people still have to face the vast power of heaven and the roar of nature.

They have no technological products to improve their living standards and quality. They rely only on the most primitive human and animal power to work hard and live a down-to-earth life. This allows Lin Xiaoyue to truly experience the changes brought about by rebirth.
