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

Little lucky star Leng Yuxuan was very happy.

It was the first time for me to collect firewood with so many friends, and we all had a lot of fun talking and laughing.

Liu Datong's house was built in just one day and only needed to be dried for a few days before it could be lived in.

This speed…

In the evening, the family had three bowls of rice, carrots, and dried meat, including a work meal and a thanksgiving meal.

There was no need for warm-house meals. Everyone took the meals home, picked up their own bowl of rice, and started eating in Liu Datong's new home.

Just show your appreciation.

Nowadays, we can’t even get enough to eat wild vegetables, so what’s the point of being picky?

Compared to food and wine, this can make the whole family full, and the best food is to have both meat and vegetables.

Those who made more adobe bricks earned 5 to 6 kilograms of brown rice, so they could make ends meet again.

Liu Datong had cut down a lot of trees at that time, all of which were dead trees, and transported several trucks to Leng Ruoxue's house. Leng Ruoxue only asked for temporary use, so the good wood was not used.

So there are ready-made materials for making beams.

The villagers don't need to pay much attention to the workmanship, as long as the doors and windows are square and usable.

The thatched house was habitable at that time, but the adobe house still needed airing, and this was the stable where Liu Datong lived.

Liu Datong had not moved into his house yet, and Grandpa Wang's family bought two acres of mountain land on the other side of Leng Ruoxue's house.

Build a house too.

"Ruoxue, Grandpa sees that you have enough wood, so I'll use it first. When Grandpa's house is built, I'll chop some wood and return it to you."

Grandpa Wang was not polite either.

"Don't just take advantage of Yuxuan for your Uncle Datong. We also lived together in the valley. We can also benefit from it if we live together."

Leng Ruoxue:……

"Grandpa Wang, what should we do with the land in your Wangjia Village?"

"It's not far. Your uncle and his family can just go over and take care of it. We have our own house if it gets late, so it won't cause any trouble. We won't buy any land here for now. We'll just open up some wasteland if we can."

"Your uncles and brothers and I made the adobe bricks ourselves and it only took two days. We asked the villagers to help us build the foundation and beams, and it only took one day."

"The meals for the day are the same as your uncle Liu's, with some melons and vegetables. I have already talked to the village chief about it, so you can help with the cooking."

Liu Datong's family consumed more than 200 kilograms of brown rice for one day's meals, which almost used up all of Liu Datong's food reserves.

According to the current grain price, it is about 8 taels of silver.

However, Grandpa Wang's family made some money from selling baskets. They planted vegetables early, harvested strawberries, and also shared some of the grain in the valley.

"We have to build a house anyway, so let's just do it. Food is expensive now, but if it weren't for this weather, the people who help us would not only provide us with food and wine, but also pay us for our work. So, it's better to build it now."

Okay, Grandpa Wang has thought it through clearly, let’s get up.

Fortunately, Leng Yiruoyi takes care of my space, otherwise I really wouldn’t have the energy to handle all these.

Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue took the time to send them some vegetables and seeds from her home, allowing them to plant them in the extra land.

Some lard and lard residue were also given.

Liu Datong took the grass that everyone helped to cut, but did not want the firewood, saying that he had plenty of strength and could just chop it himself, and leave it for Leng Ruoxue and her family.

So, Liu Datong officially moved into the new house, and Grandpa Wang’s house began to be built.

Another busy day, the house is up.

Leng Ruoxue's family had a lot more firewood, and everyone voluntarily sent the grass to Liu Datong's house.

With the sponsorship from these two families, the villagers had enough food to eat for a few days.

Then the strawberry harvest began.

One pound of strawberries equals one pound of grain, and every household is keeping an eye on it. Leng Ruoxue distributed those with fruits to everyone, and collected them at a calculated time.

The village chief led his people to pick strawberries from each household and marked the number of fruits picked.

The nervous villagers picked the fruits that met the requirements and took them to Leng Ruoxue's house to exchange for food.

Each family now has more than ten or twenty kilograms of food.

If you eat sparingly, you can last another month.

After harvesting the strawberries, Leng Ruoxue and Liu Datong started their first delivery.

The first stop was Zhulin County, a half-day horse carriage ride. When we arrived, Liu Datong was asked to eat, rest, and feed the horses.

The shopkeeper of Yipinju in Zhulin County received Leng Ruoxue warmly.

I tried the inferior strawberries that were given to me.

I checked the strawberries one by one. "Yes, they are very fresh."

When he heard Leng Ruoxue say that the maximum she would give him was 150 kilograms, he didn't hesitate. It would take 10 days to get 150 kilograms, so he took it.

Ignoring the shopkeeper's attempts to keep him, and having no time to explore Zhulin County, he headed straight to Sanhe County from Zhulin County.

When we arrived in Sanhe County, it was already evening.

They found an inn and arranged for Liu Datong to stay there, while Leng Ruoxue drove the carriage to Yipinju in Sanhe County by herself.

The shopkeeper said it was too late to tell the freshness of the fruit and asked to check in the morning.

Leng Ruoxue said that they had to rush to the city early tomorrow morning, so if they were going to receive the goods in the morning, they would have to go earlier. The shopkeeper said that it was the first time to receive the goods, so they had to be careful and cautious, and they could receive the goods after the sun came out.

Leng Ruoxue was very angry.

When I arrived at the inn, I had no mood to go shopping and just fell asleep.

As soon as it was light, he drove the carriage to Yipinju.

When the sun came out, we rushed to inspect the goods, and found that there were only 100 kilograms.

He took the money and left without even a smile.

I finally calmed down on the way and felt guilty about not doing anything with the money.

This is the hard-earned money.

Liu Datong only saw the basket of strawberries, estimated to be about 400 kilograms. He didn't understand why he had to deliver it himself, but he didn't say much.

Eat when you are told to eat and sleep when you are told to sleep.

He didn't say a word even when he was not allowed to go to places where goods were traded. He was a very qualified coachman.

It was already evening when they arrived at the provincial capital. With the experience in Sanhe County, Leng Ruoxue was not in a hurry to go to Yipinju.

Instead, he found an inn to stay in and then went to the market in the city by himself.

The market in the provincial capital is also very lively in the evening, with many vendors selling snacks and toys, unlike the market in the county town, which is full of temporary stalls.

Most of the markets in the city have storefronts, with only a small area for small temporary merchants from the surrounding areas.

Leng Ruoxue found several shops selling dried and fresh fruits.

There are very few fresh fruits, the prices are high and the varieties are few. Pears are 600 wen per pound, peaches are 500 wen per pound, and there are even apples, which are 400 wen per pound. The premium fruits are sold individually, at 300 wen each.

The so-called premium fruit is one that looks good, is well preserved, and is relatively fresh.

It is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The only thing that is cheaper is hawthorn berry.

Only 25 cents per pound.

The price of grain in the provincial capital was 5 cents per pound cheaper than in the county town. Leng Ruoxue really didn't want to eat brown rice, so she gritted her teeth and bought 200 pounds of polished rice. After thinking about it, she bought another 500 pounds of brown rice.

Leng Ruoxue had used up most of the brown rice in the space after several attempts, and there wasn't much left.

I went to two counties and used all the money I earned from selling strawberries to buy rice, and I also lost another 10 taels of silver. It turned out that making money was not easy.

I counted the money I had, and it was less than 100 taels.

This means I have my own space, strawberries, and rental income.
