Crossing the Unknown Country

My own land is a little far away, so no one will pay attention to it and no one will mess with it, so the harvest can be guaranteed. The village head measured it in one afternoon and drew the boundaries. Tomorrow I will go to the town to help them handle the formalities. The money Suhe's uncle has paid, and the money is fixed, and it will come out after calculation.

Su He's uncle and aunt watched as the boundaries were drawn, and helped to set up the stones around them, finally completing a task. The remaining thing was to buy peanut seeds, because with the ten taels of silver that Su He's father brought over, all this was easy to do.

Grandpa Su He knew how to grow peanuts, having heard about it from others earlier. Su He went to the town to find some books on agriculture and read them. He then came back to check with his grandfather and found that there were basically no mistakes, so he could just plant them according to his grandfather's method.

Grandpa Su He knew how to grow peanuts, as someone in their village had grown them before. Grandpa Su He and his grandfather went to ask for advice, and then they went home with peace of mind.

Everyone is an old hand at farming, and they all understand what's going on. Grandpa Su He is no longer worried about planting. Now we need to pile up fertilizer urgently. It's best to apply fertilizer before the seeds are planted. Now the whole family is digging a hole. Fortunately, the soil in their yard is not hard, so a big hole has been dug. For safety reasons, they did not dig the hole outside, but directly dug a long hole next to the toilet, and usually put wooden boards on it so that garbage can be put in it.

Grandpa Su He saw that the pit was almost dug, so he went to weave a chicken coop next to it, using rattan to weave it sparsely to ensure that the chickens could not get out. It should be woven into a semicircle so that it is easy to buckle. Almost every man in the village can weave something, it's just a matter of quality. There is no big requirement for this chicken coop, as long as it can be used.

Grandpa Su He wanted to finish the weaving as soon as possible, and raise the chickens at home and the chickens he caught like Su He's family. He saw Su He picking up eggs at home, and there were quite a few. Raising chickens in this way was much better than what they usually did, and they didn't feel bad about eating the eggs at home.

The eggs they ate at Su He's house equaled the eggs they ate in a year. They were reluctant to eat the eggs laid by the chickens at home, and they sold them for money to exchange for other things. If they could raise chickens like my daughter's family, and eat eggs every day, life would be very good.

Su He's grandmother's family is now working hard, hoping to become as rich as Su He's family.

Su He was making noodles with his mother. He couldn't concentrate on reading a book while his mother was busying herself. So he just followed his mother to work. They didn't finish until Su He's father came back.

Su He looked at the noodles piled up day after day, and felt very comfortable. This was all money, and his own labor could be exchanged for more money than usual, which was happiness.

These noodles can be kept for a long time after being dried. Even if they cannot be sold for a while, they can still be used as food reserves. Su He always felt that in this unstable era, making food is the safest thing. Once there is chaos and war, money is not as useful as food. As long as you have enough food, you can survive. There is a basement in your home, which is such a safe place. As long as you have food to hide in, you can survive.

This is also the reason why Su He asked his family to do food business. To make money, they also need to make preparations. Who asked them to live so close to the border town? Since the last war, everyone knows that it will start again at any time.

Su He was unwilling to encounter such a thing, but it was not her decision. Since ancient times, the border has been full of storms, and even in peacetime, harassment from enemy countries often occurred, not to mention this era, when such a thing happened just last year.

The surrounding countries were eyeing their country with eager eyes, and once there was a slight disturbance, war might break out again. The common people like them could neither run away nor fight, so they could only hide. At that time, food was the most important thing, and with it, they would not be afraid to hide anywhere.
