Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools
Chapter 11 I Want to Sell Vegetables Again
Leng Ruoxue is an impatient person and will break up immediately if she says so.
I don't even have time to plant the land.
All the things in the valley were divided up that night.
Cloth and food were distributed equally among the three families.
The hoe and axe were given to Liu Datong, the carpentry tools and half of the seeds were given to Grandpa Wang's family, and he took an iron pot for himself.
Liu Datong and Grandpa Wang both had stone pots, so Dajian took the iron pot and half of the seeds.
Half of the dried meat went to Liu Datong, and the other half was divided between Grandpa Wang's family and his own family. The skin still belonged to Liu Datong.
Liu Datong and Grandpa Wang firmly refused to take the ox and ox cart. Leng Ruoxue originally said that they would sell them and share the money when everyone came back, but the two of them firmly refused.
"Uncle Liu, can I put my things in your house first?"
After distributing the things, Leng Ruoxue spoke.
"Of course, my cellar is well stocked. Even though there were thieves in the village, none of my food was lost."
Liu Datong was a little reluctant to separate. In the past few months, someone washed his clothes and cooked for him. He just put in some effort, and it was Leng Ruoxue who came up with the way to make money.
"Girl, just put it in my house. Are you worried about it?"
Grandma Jiang was puzzled.
"Grandma, why would I be worried? It's just that the villagers are coming back soon. We didn't starve to death during this famine, and we have so many things left. It would be bad if the villagers saw this."
Leng Ruoxue didn't say anything. In fact, she was worried that when the people from Grandpa Wang's family came back and saw so many things, some people might have some ideas. Liu Datong was single and had little to do, so it was just right to leave him there.
"That's right. Back then, your grandfather and I didn't want to live anymore, so we secretly put the food and money left by our family into the bags they took with them. When they came back and saw that we still had so much food and clothes, they must be jealous."
"Yes, and we can't store too much food. We only need enough for three days."
Grandpa Wang thinks clearly.
"Yes, that's what I mean. Before the villagers come back, we should stay the same as we were in the valley. When the villagers come back, it will be easier for us to separate."
"You are a thoughtful girl. Don't rush back to Lengjia Village. Wait until the people from Lengjia Village come back."
Grandpa Wang glanced at Liu Ruxu.
I wanted to say something, but suppressed it.
"I know what grandpa is worried about. It's about my mother. Yuxuan and I are still registered as residents in Lengjia Village. Even if grandpa and grandma come back, it's not easy for us to move back directly. I thought that when they come back, I will set up a separate household for Yuxuan, and my mother and I will raise him."
As soon as Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, Liu Ruxu's eyes turned red.
"Mom, we won't go to anyone's house. Let's build our own home. We'll help out with the work at grandpa and grandma's place. Mom is so capable. We can support ourselves by clearing the land and digging wild vegetables. We don't need to look at anyone's mood."
"When I was at the Wang family, my mother did all the work in the fields, and my brother and I did the housework. We only had half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge every day. Wasn't our labor worth half a bowl of porridge? We also had to endure scolding, beatings and watching other people's faces."
"In the valley, with nothing, we survived, didn't we?"
Leng Ruoxue cheered Liu Ruxu up.
"I think it's okay. Your daughter is a promising one, and your son is a lucky one."
Grandma Jiang also agreed.
She couldn't encourage Liu Ruxu when she was not divorced, but now she has nothing to worry about.
"Your labor alone is stronger than that of two men. Everyone can see it. Even if you just dig wild vegetables, three people can still have enough to eat."
Grandpa Wang also agreed with Leng Ruoxue's idea.
"Mom, we will listen to my sister. When I grow up, I will support you and my sister."
Leng Yuxuan threw himself into Liu Ruxu's arms and hugged his mother to comfort her.
My sister had said before in the valley that he is the man of the family and he must stand on his own feet.
Although he didn't quite understand what his sister meant, he listened to her because she was smart and could get him lots of delicious food so he could have enough to eat.
"Uncle Liu, although you are a hunter, you should have land in the village, right?"
"Yes, yes...How about I let you farm my land?"
Liu Datong thought that the three of them had no house or land, so it would be difficult for him to take them in, but he could give them land to farm.
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, why don't we not plant crops now and wait a month before planting? We can plant some vegetables first, the kind with a short harvest period. Otherwise, when the villagers come back, your land will definitely be harvested earlier than others. At that time, everyone will be short of food, and the food in the land may not be safe."
"My family provides the seeds, my uncle provides the land, and when the harvest comes, we split it equally between the two families."
Although Leng Ruoxue was very anxious to find a place to settle down, it was not convenient to go to Lengjia Village before the villagers returned.
"What's the big deal? Just use it. The people who rent my land may not have seeds to plant when they come back."
Liu Datong didn't care.
"Thank you, uncle. We will share the vegetables equally between our two families."
"You girl"
Liu Datong smiled and nodded.
If I don't agree, I guess they won't use this land.
"What the girl said makes sense. Our family will not plant crops first, but vegetables first."
Grandpa Wang thought about Leng Ruoxue's words for a while and decided to grow some vegetables at home first.
With the food distributed from the valley as a foundation, there is no need to worry.
“Actually, I have another idea.”
Leng Ruoxue hesitated.
"Any ideas?"
Grandpa Wang was curious.
"Grandpa, you said that the people in the city would definitely not flee the famine like the villagers. Even if they left later, I guess they went to nearby places that were not as severely affected by the disaster. Now that the drought is over, they should come back earlier."
"Can we sell the radishes, pumpkins and winter melons we have stored in the valley for a good price now?"
"You want to go to the city to sell vegetables again?"
Grandpa Wang smiled.
"It's possible, and the vegetables we grow can be eaten as food."
"Yes, we should be able to go up the mountain to look for wild vegetables these days."
Hearing that they were going to the city to sell things again, Liu Ruxu also wanted to move.
They are very poor, so it would be good for them to sell them for some money.
Several people were busy planting vegetables in the fields. There were only so many seeds, and with the help of cows to plow the fields, they finished planting the vegetable garden and the fields in three days.
Leng Ruoxue felt that it was about time, so she and Liu Datong took the stored vegetables and drove a ox cart to the county town.
Sure enough, there were few people selling things at the market, but many people shopping around.
There are no vegetable sellers.
Leng Ruoxue first asked Liu Datong to go to the grain store to inquire about the price of brown rice.
The price of brown rice has dropped a lot, and now it is 90 cents per pound.
Leng Ruoxue set the price of vegetables at 50 wen per pound.
Liu Datong has gotten used to it. In years of famine, prices are chaotic and things are expensive because they are scarce. If he can't sell them, he can still take them back and eat them, right?
People who saw it said it was expensive, but Liu Datong said nothing.
After going around a few times, the people who came back still bought it reluctantly.
Not to mention that vegetables are hard to come by at this time, even if eaten as food, it is more suitable than brown rice.
