Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

The next morning, not only the four people from yesterday came, but Grandpa Wang also came.

He also pulled a cart of wood.

After communicating with Leng Ruoxue, he started building the house with wood.

Those who were digging the ground and burying the wood, and those who were sawing wood, started working busily.

Leng Ruoxue's plan was to build two low rooms on each side that could accommodate a bed.

Make a tripod on the roof, put a bamboo mat and put straw on it. This way, when it rains, water will flow down the tripod.

The two short rooms on the side also have sloping roofs, and similarly, rainwater flows to both sides.

The original thatched house was used as a kitchen, and a simple cowshed was built.

Then, according to Leng Ruoxue's idea, a toilet was built, bamboo was cut, and water was brought from the mountain to one side of the yard. There was a ditch next to it, and a sewer was dug.

Leng Ruoxue had very low requirements and just wanted a place to live in, so the frame of the shack-like house was completed in just one morning.

A few people went up the mountain to cut bamboo and cut grass.

The bamboo mats were woven and laid out piece by piece. The grass was not dry yet, so they could not be put on the roof for the time being.

The bamboo mats were fixed one by one, and there were no doors or windows. Just roll up a piece of bamboo mat and a door would appear.

Grandpa Wang also made a wooden bed for Leng Ruoxue.

It’s not too detailed, but it works.

“Isn’t this house too shabby?”

Grandpa Wang looked at the low wooden house, which was just a frame and bamboo mat.

"But this bamboo tube method of diverting water is good."

"Grandpa, we just need to stay for a few months."

"That's right. This is the case now. If it gets cold, it will be uninhabitable. Except for the ground, everything is drafty."

Grandpa Wang was happy.

In the end, the stove was not installed in the original thatched house, and there was no way to repair the chimney.

So, some adjustments were made and Liu Ruxu and Leng Yuxuan lived in the original thatched hut.

Leng Ruoxue lived in the newly built house, and a simple kitchen was built on the other side.

While Liu Ruxu was cooking, Leng Ruoxue introduced strawberries to everyone and the planting methods she knew.

"This fruit will be ripe in about three months. The ones I have are dug directly with the fruit still in it. They will be ripe in a few days. I will take them to the county town to sell them first. If I can sell them at a good price, sir, your family can also grow them."

"This shelf can be moved. When the sun is strong, you can put it indoors. When it is cold in winter, you can also put it indoors."

“Doesn’t take up much space”

"Can one pound of this fruit be exchanged for one pound of grain?"

Grandpa Wang wasn't too interested in this wild fruit, but Leng Ruoxue always had a good grasp of the timing when selling things, so he asked anyway.

"It should be more expensive than food. This fruit is rare. City people like fresh wild fruit, and there may not be any in the mountains. Scarcity makes things valuable."

Grandpa Wang believed this statement very much. He let the girl sell pumpkins and wild vegetables at a sky-high price, so maybe wild fruits would be the same.

"Where can I find this seedling?"

Leng Ruoxue only planted less than 50 seeds.

"When the fruits in my house are ripe, there will be seeds. I will grow the seedlings, and you can just come and get them, Grandpa."

"That's great, and it doesn't take much effort. I'll plant some at home and wait for your seedlings."

"Master, if you have nothing to do, please weave some bamboo baskets. They need to be shallow, not big. I'll charge you one penny each."

Leng Ruoxue suddenly thought that it would be easier to sell strawberries with a bamboo basket. She had seen Grandpa Wang's craftsmanship and knew that he was not good at making delicate things, but simple things like this should be no problem.

"This... I'll just give it a try first."

Grandpa Wang asked his son to make a few wooden bowls for Leng Ruoxue's family, and he started weaving them quickly.

With extra bamboo materials, a bamboo basket can be made in a short time.

“Yes, that’s it.”

The strawberries in Leng Ruoxue's space are ripe and a basket is urgently needed.

"That's easy. I'll make you 50 in a couple of days. Is that enough?"

"Sir, if you want less, I'd be embarrassed to give you money, so I'll charge you a penny. When you're free, you can make as many as you can. I want them all, at least 200 as a minimum."

Grandpa Wang estimated and said, "Okay, I'll ask your uncle Wang to bring it to you the day after tomorrow."

"Let Uncle Liu come. We need his tools for a few days."

Leng Ruoxue needs Liu Datong to take her into the city to sell strawberries.

"It would be best if you come the day after tomorrow night. We'll pick the strawberries and send them to the city overnight. Uncle Liu can help me drive the car."

"Does your Uncle Liu have time? You didn't even ask."

Liu Ruxu felt embarrassed when she saw her daughter ordering adults around.

"I'm fine. Now is not a good time to hunt. I can go to the city to have a look. If the price of food drops, I can buy some food back."

Liu Datong was alone, and there were people helping him to farm the land, so there was nothing for him to worry about.

Moreover, he liked to follow Leng Ruoxue. He always felt that this girl had a lot of ideas, it was not tiring and she could make money. Maybe he could make some money in the future with the girl's ideas.

After agreeing on a time, the five of them ate at Leng Ruoxue's house awkwardly before going back.

With her own separate bedroom, Leng Ruoxue can also enter the space to farm.

She selected strawberries with good taste and large size as seeds and began breeding in the space.

The ripe strawberries were picked, the weeds in the fields were cut, the wheat was harvested, the cows were fed, and it was already daybreak.

Liu Ruxu did not disturb Leng Ruoxue, knowing that she liked to cook something at night and had to leave for the county town in the evening.

You must have time to sleep and get enough sleep so that you can go to the county town overnight.

Leng Ruoxue got up in the afternoon and ate the reserved meal, and then the village chief came.

"This is your household registration, this is the land deed"

Liu Ruxu poured some water for the village chief, took the household registration and land deed, and only then did she feel that she was free.

"I didn't expect that the county would actually handle this matter. As soon as I said it, the clerk knew it, so they processed it for you even though we didn't get the Wang family's household registration. You, a little girl, still have someone to rely on."

The village chief stared at Leng Ruoxue intently.

"Village head, what are the rules for disaster relief?"

Leng Ruoxue felt sorry for the twenty taels of silver she had spent on registering her household registration.

At that time, money came too easily, and I just wanted to solve the problem quickly. I didn’t expect that now that I have no income, I realize how hard it is to make money.

"Every family is given two dou of rice and one mu of seeds. If your family's household registration is good, you can get one portion, but now you can get two portions.

A few days later, the county sent people to take the household registration and collect the documents from each family."

"Grandpa Village Chief, my mother will go and pick it up when the time comes. I'm going to the county town to sell the fruit."

"What fruit?"

The village chief was very curious.

Leng Ruoxue introduced strawberries to the village chief and said, "I will go to the county town to explore the market first. If I can sell them at a good price, I will give the seedlings to the villagers. This way, everyone will have an income."

"Okay, it doesn't take up much space anyway. If your fruit can be sold at a good price, the villagers can buy some of your fruit seedlings."

The village chief didn't take it seriously.

"This house of yours can only be used temporarily. When we are free, I will help you make some adobe bricks. We should build a proper house."

The village chief was a little worried because this simple house couldn't even shelter from the rain.
