Crossing the Unknown Country

Su He thought it would be best if he could move his family to the town or Fengyu City, so that at least there would be military protection, and at least the tall walls of Fengyu City could block the enemy's attacks. His village was still too weak, and once the disaster came, he could only choose to escape.

Su He knew that wars were frequent in this era, and agriculture was underdeveloped, so hunger was the norm for most people. She could only see if she could find a way to make the land produce more. If this could be promoted and applied, it might solve some problems. Potatoes could be planted by the end of April next year. If the whole village could plant them, it would solve a big problem.

In addition, the wheat has been planted and will probably be harvested in April or May next year. When the wheat is filling in March, it seems that peanuts can be interplanted. Su He suddenly remembered this. This is also what she learned when she was studying in high school, when she was studying rotation and interplanting. She remembered it all of a sudden. She quickly discussed this with her father, so that peanuts can be harvested in six months, probably in August. Finally, the peanuts are harvested, and the peanut seedlings are fed to cattle, which is a very good feed.

Wheat and corn rotation is also very good, and it is better for the soil. However, Su He has not seen corn in this era, and he does not know when the history of this era overlaps with his own. Anyway, he has not seen most things. The crops are wheat, rice and millet, and the others are beans such as soybeans and black beans. He has not seen sweet potatoes. He plans to look for them in Fengyu City next time. Maybe he can find something different.

That's it for this year. The New Year is coming soon, so I will just focus on studying and improving myself. I will make a good plan for next spring. I grow too slowly, which affects my travel. It is impossible for me to go out without adults.

Their uncle's family has been making tofu these past two days, and Su He wants his uncle to take over this business first, so that his family can specialize in making noodles. This way, his uncle can also earn more. After discussing it with his parents, they agreed, because it's all theirs anyway, and they won't give it to others.

His father went to the next door and told his grandmother about this. His uncle was still embarrassed to take over the business, so Su He's father said directly: "Brother, we will only go to the city in the future, and you can do it in the town. This way you can also do it well. Anyway, you have a stone mill in your yard, so just do it!"

In this way, the uncle's family took over the tofu business, and the Su He family specialized in the noodle business in the city. In this way, the two uncles could sell some noodles on behalf of each other, and the Su He family could take dried tofu, bean curd sticks, etc. to the city. Later, Su He made all the derivative products of soy products, such as bean sprouts, tofu puffs, dried tofu, tofu skin, and tofu shreds. Therefore, their tofu is the best-selling, with good quality and many varieties. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell all the tofu. Now even the villagers like it, especially in winter when the villagers want to eat fresh vegetables, they all come to their house to buy.

Finally, Su He's family felt that they had too much beans to use, so they handed over the business of collecting beans to the village chief's family. They asked them to help collect beans, or they could go to other villages to collect beans. They had a bullock cart and it was not a big deal. The village chief's family had no work to do in winter, so they were very happy that they were given this business and took better care of them. In this way, the relationship between Su He's family and them became closer. I heard that their family was interested in marrying into their family. Their second family had a granddaughter who was two years younger than Su Pei. Their Su family was now rich, and the village chief was still very optimistic about their family.

Grandma Su He didn't have any objection. Since the child was going to get married anyway, it would be better to find a familiar family. At least the village chief's family was not bad, and they didn't bully or exclude the villagers. They were good people. I was just waiting for their second son to come back during the Chinese New Year to see how the girl was. I had seen her a few times when I was a child, but when I grew up, they came during the Chinese New Year and stayed for a few days before leaving, so I hadn't met her in the past few years.

As the children gradually grow up, engagements start early in the village, usually at the age of 14 or 15, and marriages are arranged at 18 or 19. So some people start asking which family has better conditions. Su Pei is already 12 years old during the Chinese New Year, and because his family has a better living condition in the past year, he has obviously grown a lot taller, so he can arrange marriages in a few years, and some people have already started asking.
