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

Two days later, Leng Ruoxue brought the village chief to her home.

Liu Ruxu took Leng Yuxuan out to dig wild vegetables and cut grass.

When the village chief saw the brown rice in Leng Ruoxue’s cellar, he went back happily.

At night, Leng Ruoxue goes into the space to plant and pick strawberries.

The space was expanded again, which was just right for growing strawberries. She even used the land after harvesting rice and wheat to grow strawberries.

After her survival of the fittest, the strawberries gradually became as big as two copper coins and tasted sweet and sour.

In the space, the butterflies and bees she caught when she was in the valley were all busy.

The peach and apricot trees that were grafted from houses in the county town also survived.

Full of vitality.

If Leng Ruoxue wasn't afraid that the rabbits would destroy the things in the field, she would have wanted to raise rabbits in the space.

However, if rabbits cannot be raised, what about chickens?

Forget it, once the strawberry business is on track, I can raise some chickens, but I still need to find an excuse for this.

I couldn't take care of it, absolutely not at all. Not only did I have to grow strawberries at home, but I also had to prepare strawberry seedlings for the people in the village.

The village chief came in the evening and said that he had counted the numbers and found that there were more than 40 families who had prepared racks for growing strawberries.

Leng Ruoxue counted and found 2000 seedlings. "Grandpa arranged for everyone to come the day after tomorrow morning, after breakfast!"

Leng Ruoxue had already told Liu Ruxu about the cellar. She would use it to grow seedlings and store ripe strawberries. Because the seedlings might be infected with pathogens, it was best not to let anyone go in except herself.

After hearing this, Liu Ruxu never dared to enter the cellar again. In order to keep it secret, she didn't even dare to talk about the seedling cultivation.

He picked the strawberries from his own garden in the morning and gave them directly to Leng Ruoxue.

Liu Datong came again happily, this time to deliver 200 square baskets that Leng Ruoxue had ordered from Grandpa Wang. They had shallow mouths that could hold three layers of strawberries, and they had lids on them, and the handles could be put down.

Leng Ruoxue ordered 200 pieces, 5 cents each.

With such a basket, you can stack them without worrying about the strawberries getting crushed.

I asked about their strawberry planting situation. At that time, I brought the fruits directly to them just to make it in time for my trip to the county town.

It was similar to what I estimated. The problem of freshness preservation could not be solved. I decided to let them grow this crop and then find other ways for them.

After agreeing on the departure time, Liu Datong went back.

Leng Ruoxue prepared the seedlings and put all the strawberries into a square basket.

It's daybreak.

Place all the seedlings at the door of the cellar.

I had just finished washing up when the village chief came with his people.

The village chief's grandson took a pen and paper and recorded the information of each family.

The solution the village chief came up with was to have two people work in a group and count the fruits against each other, do this once a day, and then report to their grandson. If there were any bad fruits, they had to be handed over to the village chief.

Leng Ruoxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the dumbest way is still a way.

After everyone had received the seedlings, I told everyone how to plant them and what kind of fruits to harvest. I would harvest them at a time if there were more than 10 seeds and hand them over directly to Liu Ruxu for registration.

If you have one pound, you can exchange it for one pound of brown rice.

After finishing her work, Leng Ruoxue slept for two days before she recovered.

Then came the day to go into the city.

Since no one came from Grandpa Wang's house, he asked Liu Datong to come along.

Liu Datong's was 18 kilograms, and Wang Yeye's was 22 kilograms. Leng Ruoxue directly gave 900 coins.

Leng Ruoxue's family had 23 kilograms of food, which filled three baskets.

Put it on the ox cart, Liu Datong drives the cart, and Leng Ruoxue sleeps on the straw mat.

While Liu Datong was not paying attention, Leng Ruoxue took out three empty baskets from the space.

There are about 22 baskets in the space, all full.

This time they went directly to the inn and booked a single room for Liu Datong. Liu Datong disagreed, and Leng Ruoxue had to persuade him to let Liu Datong sleep peacefully.

Leng Ruoxue parked the ox cart and found an empty alley to go into the space to catch up on her sleep.

I waited until the sun came out before washing and loading the ox cart in the space.

There are 24 baskets in total.

Some of the strawberries Liu Datong and his companions brought had gone bad on the way, so Leng Ruoxue picked them out directly. She also picked out those that were not big enough or did not look good, resulting in a loss of one pound.

If I hadn't put it in my own space, there would probably be losses.

After leaving the space, I went directly to Yipintang Teahouse.

The shopkeeper looked at so many baskets and wondered if they were inferior goods being passed off as good ones.

I randomly picked 5 baskets and checked them layer by layer, only to find that there were none. They were better than last time.

Only then did he happily let the guy weigh it.

"The total weight minus the weight of the baskets is 650 jin, 32 liang, 500 wen. You can keep the baskets and I'll give you 33 liang."

Leng Ruoxue was surprised when she heard 650 pounds.

I was afraid that if I took out so much at once, the shopkeeper wouldn't accept it, but I didn't expect that he accepted it all.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. These are not very good in appearance, but they taste good. I'll leave them for you to taste."

Leng Ruoxue put the fruits that were of poor quality but not rotten into a small basket, weighing about 5 kilograms, and gave them all to the shopkeeper.

"Then I won't be polite. Go get two packs of snacks for Miss Leng."

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to get some snacks.

This fruit is not common. I went to the market to look for it but couldn't find it.

We collected so much last time, but only the young master ate one plate, and the rest were shipped out.

He didn't get anything, but he didn't expect that this girl was quite good at business, so he didn't mind talking to Leng Ruoxue more.

"Miss Leng, don't worry that we won't buy this fruit. As long as it's less than 1,000 kilograms, we can buy it."

Leng Ruoxue: I was just planning to expand the planting...

"Of course, the contract is there, we can take more."

The shopkeeper added another sentence.

"It's mainly because there are too many broken ones on the road. Otherwise, we can take in as many as there are."

Seeing Leng Ruoxue's eyes light up for a moment, then dimmed again.

"At our Yipin Teahouse, a plate of dim sum costs 2 taels of silver, and a plate of fruit also costs 2 taels of silver. The rarer fruits are even more expensive. But many of them get spoiled when they are delivered to the capital, and other stores can't deliver them there either."

"Then I wonder how far these nearby stores are from the county town?"

Leng Ruoxue took a bite of the snack and found it delicious, real food.

"Miss Leng, do you have a way to transport it?"

The shopkeeper reacted immediately.

“It depends on the distance and the needs of each of your stores.”

"Wait a minute, Miss Cold"

The shopkeeper asked his waiter to bring paper and pen and roughly drew a map.

The carriage route is also indicated.

Leng Ruoxue took a look and saw that the shopkeeper had even marked the distance from Lengjia Village to Qingyuan County.

It would take an oxcart one night to reach the county town, but only three hours for a horse carriage.

Yes, the ox cart only has strength and is slightly faster than a person walking.

The carriage was much faster.

"If we are not sending them to the capital, just to Qingyuan County, how many strawberries does your teahouse need in 10 days?"

"Can it only be delivered once every 10 days? Can't it be delivered every day?"

The shopkeeper thinks that the ones delivered that day are the freshest.

"Yes, the fruiting time of each strawberry plant is the same, and you can only pick about 10 fruits from each plant at a time."
