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

One night, Liu Datong and Leng Ruoxue took turns driving the ox cart.

The Wang father and son didn’t know how, so they just slept on the ox cart.

We returned to Lengjia Village before dawn.

The three of them got off the ox cart and were about to leave, but Leng Ruoxue didn't let them go. "Uncle, the roof of my house hasn't been fixed yet. Please help me fix the roof before you go back."

There is dew at this time, and we have to wait until the sun dries the dew before we can put thatch on the roof.

The three of them found some benches and wood, took a bullock cart, and went to catch up on their sleep.

Leng Ruoxue went into the room and didn't sleep. She went into the space to dig strawberry seedlings.

Everyone is awakened by the fragrance in the morning.

I haven't eaten meat for almost a year. When I smell the aroma of lard, I feel so hungry.

After Liu Ruxu boiled the lard, she made a big pot of porridge with the lard residue, wild vegetables and brown rice.

He also sent Leng Yuxuan to deliver a bamboo tube of lard and lard residue to his grandparents.

The three of them ate another full meal feeling embarrassed.

After eating, I helped to chop bamboo and build the chicken coop.

According to Leng Ruoxue's request, a stone pool was made and rotten soil was dug into the pool.

“What is this pool used for?”

“Raise this and feed the chickens”

Leng Ruoxue took out the earthworm from the space.

She found this when she was digging strawberry seedlings.

Feeding chickens with insects can actually produce insects. The three of them now understood what Leng Ruoxue said when she bought the chickens.

"But I want to give it an experiment. I don't know if it will work, so I told you to wait and grow them. I have prepared 50 strawberry seedlings for each of your two families. You can send them strawberries in 10 days. They are 40 cents per pound. The fruits are limited. If there are too few, I will not supply you with seedlings in the future."

I also told them what they need to pay attention to when growing strawberries. As for whether they can grow them well, it depends on themselves and their luck.

The three of them happily finished building the roof and went home carrying the strawberry seedlings.

"Ruoxue, the grain and seeds for our family have been distributed. We don't have any land, so I thought of giving the seeds to your grandfather. They just don't have enough seeds."

"Okay, but mom, you have to finish your housework first, and then go to grandpa's house to help. Let Niu rest for a while, and there are no tools anyway."

"Also, family matters come first. Only when we live well can grandparents live well."

Leng Ruoxue was afraid that if Liu Ruxu devoted herself to helping, it might not end well.

Anyway, she doesn't think highly of these grandparents.

"Don't worry, I'll go help you after I finish my housework. I'll be back in time for dinner. You can go to sleep peacefully."

When Liu Ruxu heard her daughter agree to go to her grandfather's house to help and gave so many instructions, she knew that the child had a knot in her heart.

Not much to say.

Leng Ruoxue then washed herself and went to bed to catch up on some sleep.

When I woke up during dinner time, as expected, Liu Ruxu had already returned. She had already taken care of the strawberries, tended the vegetable garden, fed the chickens, and there were many more earthworms in the earthworm pond.

"Mom, this is the copper coins left over from this trip to the county town."

Leng Ruoxue placed a pile of copper coins on the table.

Liu Ruxu smiled when she saw the copper coins. "My child, I know you are a man of great potential. Take these copper coins and do whatever you want. I will do whatever you need me to do. As long as you are doing well, I will be satisfied."

It feels so good to be the boss of your own home.

Liu Ruxu understood Leng Ruoxue's painstaking effort to get a single household registration.

Although I live in a thatched hut now, I can have enough food to eat and sleep as long as I want. I feel safe and secure in my own home.

After dinner, Leng Ruoxue went to the village chief's house with a bowl of ripe strawberries from her home.

The village chief's family had just finished dinner, which was also wild vegetable and brown rice porridge, but with less wild vegetables and more brown rice.

"Ruoxue, although your family has no land, you can go and reclaim wasteland. You don't have to pay taxes on wasteland for three years. After three years, the land will belong to your family."

The village chief thought Leng Ruoxue was here to talk about something on the ground.

"Let's talk about it later, Grandpa, you guys try this fruit"

"You kids love this. Let each of your kids have one and take the rest back."

The village chief didn’t say no, he just didn’t want that much.

"We grow this ourselves. This time when I went to the county town, I met a wealthy family who also liked this fruit, so they asked me to plant more. I exchanged one pound of fruit for one pound of brown rice. But the rich family didn't like this kind of brown rice and were too lazy to buy it."

Leng Ruoxue took out her rice. She didn't have the energy or strength to thresh it, so she might as well give it all to the villagers.

"This rice...why does it look like new rice? A lot of good rice can be extracted."

When the village chief saw Mi, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's why I came to you. I thought about distributing some strawberry seedlings to everyone and planting them together. As you can see, this doesn't take up much space. However, the seedlings provided by the rich family require that all the fruits must be handed over. If they find that we have sold them privately, they will not give us this job."

"This job can be done. How often can the strawberries be harvested? How many kilograms can be harvested at a time?"

"Based on 50 seedlings, we can harvest about 20 kilograms at a time, and the seedlings can be harvested twice. After harvesting, the seedlings cannot be used. The first time is 10 days, and the second time is about the same. However, if the fruits are not taken care of well, people will not harvest them."

"Are you sure that company can accept it?"

The village chief couldn't believe it. Everyone was short of food now, and the food in the grain store was very expensive.

"Sure, I've collected all of mine. I think the rich family still has a lot of this brown rice."

Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said, "How about Grandpa Village Chief, I will talk to that rich man and ask him to send some brown rice to my house first. Then you can ask the people in the village who want to exchange food to go to my house first to see how it is grown. Once the racks are ready, I will count the number and then ask them to send the seedlings over."

The village chief slapped the table and said, "Okay, when the brown rice arrives, I will arrange for everyone to make strawberry racks."

"But I'm worried, what if someone takes someone else's seedlings and doesn't give out all the fruits?"

The village chief thought for a long time and said, "Don't worry about this, I will take care of it."

Strawberries cannot be kept for long after being picked. Even if villagers take them out to sell, they cannot be sold in the county town, and the price will not be higher than that of brown rice.

The village chief was watching too, so Leng Ruoxue was no longer worried when she thought about it.

As long as you don't sell large quantities of strawberries, you won't be considered in breach of contract. After all, these strawberries grow on the mountains, and if you have them, others may also have them.

Just so many strawberry seedlings…the life of a night owl.

Every night, Leng Ruoxue would drive the ox cart out for a trip and come back in an incense stick of time with straw on the cart.

Or in the morning, after Liu Ruxu woke up, Leng Ruoxue would drive the ox cart out again, and when she came back in time for breakfast, there would still be straw on the cart.

Sometimes they were placed in the yard to dry, and sometimes they were placed in the existing cellar.

Liu Ruxu asked casually, and Leng Ruoxue said that they were preparing to plant strawberries.

Liu Ruxu didn't ask any more questions as their schedules basically didn't coincide.
