Spring scenery in the fields

Shen Rongshan walked in, without looking around, and placed the small cloth bag in his hand next to her: "All the money in the family is here, keep it safe."

The cloth bag contained strung copper coins, mostly copper coins and little small change, which was used to buy the land.

Ji Wenhe glanced at the small cloth bag beside him and said, "Brother Shen, I'm afraid it's not safe to keep your money with me. I have no place to hide it."

The house is so small, the walls are made of stone, the floor is made of earth, and there is no extra furniture in the house. Where can the money be hidden?

A thief will be so happy when he comes, because it won’t take him long to find the place where the money is hidden in your house.

Shen Rongshan took a step back and looked under the bed: "I will dig a hole under the bed tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and went out, and quickly came back with a short clay pot.

"You put your money in it and take it out when you use it."

The clay pot was used to store money, and there was a big hole under the bed in their room.

Ji Wenhe thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

There seems to be no suitable place except burying it in the soil.

Shen Rongshan put the pottery jar on the ground, watched her wash her feet, and poured the water out.

Ji Wenhe was already used to it, because he had washed her underwear before, so pouring her footbath water wasn't that surprising anymore.

While there was still light outside, Ji Wenhe counted and found that there was still more than one or two hundred coins in total.

The twins found twisting hemp ropes and twine too tiring, and there was no way they could refuse this job.

She thought about it carefully and decided that selling bracelets was the first step in doing business. She would go from street to street and find out what people wanted most.

What Ji Wenhe wants to open most is a grocery store. There are many villagers outside the mountain and the prices are cheaper than in the town, so there is no need to worry about business.

Then they customized a cart and went to distant villages to sell their goods, with one of the two brothers acting as a peddler.

Shen Rongshan is more suitable. He is very strong, but he is afraid that others will be afraid of him and dare not come forward to ask the price. They have to let him follow someone familiar and then let him go alone.

Don't worry about customizing a car, the unicycles here will do, or you can ask someone to make a three-wheeled one, which is more convenient to push from the back or front.

When life gets better in the future, I will buy a donkey cart, like the small vendor in my previous life, with a wooden frame that can be opened and extended on both sides.

Ugh.

Ji Wenhe sighed in his heart. It was a good idea, but he didn’t know when it could be realized.

She also wants to raise pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, and sell the meat in the village. Business will definitely be good.

No, in order to live a good life in the future, you must work hard.

The next day.

Ji Wenhe slept until he woke up naturally. He had soaked his feet last night, so his feet were warm when he slept at night. He was not woken up by the cold in the middle of the night and slept very well.

I stretched comfortably, put on my clothes and got out of bed.

When I came outside, Shen Wenshan was sitting by the door weaving a bracelet.

"sister in law."

I taught him several styles yesterday.

Ji Wenhe looked at the dustpan and said, "Wenshan, you are really fast and good at weaving. I think you are born to be a handicraft."

He learns quickly and produces very sophisticated works.

Unlike her, sometimes the two sides are different sizes, or too loose or too tight.

Shen Wenshan lowered his head shyly: "Thank you sister-in-law for the compliment."

Ji Wenhe looked at him and thought he was very cute. He wanted to touch his head, but finally stopped his hand.

I got up and went to the kitchen, where Shen Wenshan was lighting a fire behind the stove.

"Wenshan, where is your elder brother? Why don't I see him? Did he go into the mountains?"

That shouldn’t be the case. I just went there two days ago.

"My eldest brother went to the village head's house to borrow a stone hammer. He said he wanted to repair the hillside and build a few steps to make it easier to go down the mountain."

It's not enough to just build the steps. When it rains, the rain will wash them down and over time, the steps will be washed away.

Put some stones on it and dig a small ditch next to it for water to flow.

Shen Yuanshan stood up and opened the lid of the pot on the stove: "Sister-in-law, the water is hot, you wash up first, my brother will be back soon."

Ji Wenhe nodded and glanced at the fresh wood ear in the basin.

"Hey, where did the fungus come from?"

"My eldest brother got up early and went for a walk in the mountains. He saw them and brought them back."

She remembered the cold-mixed black fungus she had eaten in her previous life. She put some chili in it and it tasted especially good. It was one of her favorite cold dishes.

Unfortunately, there is no oil at home and the only seasoning is salt.

correct.

Ji Wenhe looked at Shen Yuanshan and asked, "Are there any peppers in the mountains?"

"Chili?" He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about chili peppers, sister-in-law? They taste very spicy, red, and green, not big, very small."

"Yes, yes, yes. Are there any in the mountains?"

"Yes, my eldest brother brought back a few when he went into the mountains with the hunters. They were too spicy and not tasty."

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Shen Rongshan coming back with a stone hammer: "Brother Shen, did you see any chili in the mountains?"

"Yes, that thing is too spicy. It doesn't taste good if you cook it yourself."

Restaurants in town rarely use it as a condiment because people here don't like spicy food.

"Brother Shen, can you bring back a few plants? Don't break the roots. I want to transplant them and plant them."

The reason why their cooking doesn’t taste good is that they are reluctant to use oil. They just put a lot of water in whatever they cook, and they have rarely seen anyone stir-frying dishes.

Anyway, I've been here for so long, and I've never seen anyone at home eat fried food, only meals with a lot of soup.

But it is understandable. There are many people in the family. If we don’t add more water, one bowl of food will not be enough for each person, so we have to add more water to make sure they are full.

Shen Rongshan put down the stone hammer in his hand, fetched water to wash his hands, and said, "How many plants do you want?"

Ji Wenhe thought for a moment: "Two or three will be enough. Is it in the deep mountains? Will it be dangerous?"

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

He often goes there and is familiar with the terrain.

In the kitchen, Shen Yuanshan lifted the lid of the pot and shouted to the three people, "It's time to eat."

Same as always, wild vegetable pancakes with wild vegetable and brown rice porridge.

Change the taste occasionally, such as brown rice porridge stewed with dried bamboo shoots, brown rice porridge with black fungus, or wild vegetable soup.

There are also many wild vegetables such as Chinese toon, etc. It is the first time that Ji Wenhe has seen that wild vegetables will be snapped up by people.

The war and famine really made people starve to death.

……

That day, after Ji Wenhe watered the chili peppers transplanted into the yard, he followed Shen Rongshan to the wasteland to weed.

The chili peppers grew deep in the mountains, and she thought they would not die if transplanted into the yard. There were five plants in total, and they looked like the chili peppers she had eaten in her previous life.

Looking at the wild grass growing wildly in the field as if it had been injected with hormones, he raised his head to the sky and said, "Brother Shen, when will the rice seeds be planted?"

"In early April, we can plant vegetables in two days. After planting vegetables, rice seeds can be planted as seedlings."

"Our fields are at the foot of the mountain. The yield from that land is not high. Can we use manure to maintain it?"

"can."

There is not enough manure at home, so we use it to grow vegetable fields.

Ji Wenhe withdrew his gaze and squatted on the ground to pull weeds: "How many seasons of rice will you plant?"

When she was a child, her family only planted rice once a year, and then planted wheat.

Shen Rongshan was pulling weeds very quickly with his back to her.

"One season, after that, plant wheat."

"Yuanshan said that the wheat they planted last year was eaten by locusts, and every family had no harvest."

Ji Wenhe remembered that locusts were edible. She had never eaten them, but she heard that they were particularly delicious when fried.

"The villagers are catching locusts overnight. We shouldn't encounter any this year. We'll wait for the grass in the fields to dry up and then set it on fire."

Shen Rongshan turned around and saw that she was pulling up weeds with her hands full of dirt.

"You can go to Aunt Lan's house to find Xiaoya, or go back to weave the bracelets, and I'll do the work in the fields."
