Female-to-male: I live on farming

Both of them were completely clueless about housework, but at least their attitudes were sincere. They helped Lu Youqing pour water into the basin. Although most villagers chose to go to the river to wash clothes, Qin Ke had no plans to let her join in the fun.

Have you not eaten pork, but have you not seen a pig? Just think about it and you will know that the place where rural women gather by the river must be a holy place for gossip and rumors. When Qin Ke brought Lu Youqing home, some people in the village had already seen it and gossiped about him a lot.

Seeing that the arrangements were almost done, Qin Ke carried his hoe and prepared to go and see the few acres of land that the family had allocated to him when they divided the family property. Although he had already estimated that the land allocated to him would not be very good, Qin Ke still felt that the task was really arduous when he looked at the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.

When the family was divided, the original grandfather said righteously that the wasteland at the foot of the mountain was close to his home, and generously allocated five acres of land to him, leaving a good reputation. In fact, because the five acres of wasteland were located at the foot of the mountain, the soil was poor and no one had cultivated them for many years. Now they were overgrown with weeds.

"Even if it's a high-quality variety, it's going to be hard to get a good yield if grown in this kind of land, right?" Qin Ke had never farmed before, so he was a little unsure.

"After system testing, the host's land is of poor quality, commonly known as inferior land. If you want to achieve the expected yield, you can spend points to improve the soil."

The next second, the option to improve the soil appeared on the system panel. Qin Ke was so angry that he laughed: "It takes three points to improve the soil, and I only have ten points in total. Aren't you too good at doing business?"

"Take rice as an example. The current rice seed yield can only reach 200 kilograms per mu. By using the system's rice seeds and improving the soil, the yield can reach 600 kilograms per mu. The host can consider it on his own." The system's voice without any emotion sounded in Qin Ke's mind.

This marketing method is really familiar. The data shows that you don’t need to do much to attract people.

Qin Ke was indeed tempted. The reason why the lower-class people in ancient times had been struggling to make ends meet for thousands of years, apart from the oppression of the upper class, was because the grain output of the land was too low. They worked hard on the farm every year, and after paying taxes, they could barely keep themselves from starving.

If he could achieve the production target set by the system, after paying the tax, there would be enough rice left for him and Lu Youqing to eat for a year, and the rest could be sold to earn some money.

However, since ancient times, no one has gotten rich by farming. Qin Ke can only take one step at a time. The main purpose of farming is to obtain system points. The most urgent task is to fill his stomach and improve his living environment. He can also take advantage of this time to get familiar with and adapt to the life in ancient times.

Qin Ke worked tirelessly pulling weeds and turning the soil. It took him a whole morning to till more than an acre of land. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and realized that the sun was already at its highest point and his stomach was rumbling.

Thinking that there is still some time before spring plowing, there is no need to be so anxious. We have nothing at home and we need to make a big purchase, otherwise we will have nothing to eat today.

Yesterday he searched all of the original body's pockets, and also found all of the original body's belongings in the corner of the bedroom according to his memory - a total of 850 coins, which was what the original body had left after selling the jewelry left by her mother.

There would not be much left after buying some daily necessities. Qin Ke felt a little worried as he carried his hoe on his back on the way home. He had to think of a way to earn some money to last until the harvest.

When Qin Ke got home, Lu Youqing had already finished washing the clothes, but looking at the water all over the yard, it seemed that things were not going very smoothly.

"I have reclaimed almost an acre of land. I think I can finish it in a few days," Qin Ke washed his hands. "You must be hungry. There is nothing left at home. Let's go out and buy some food later."

"You go by yourself. I... don't want to go out." Lu Youqing turned his head to hide the injured half of his face, his voice a little hoarse.

Qin Ke pursed his lips. He understood the other person's thoughts too well. Any disfigured person who could endure the strange looks from others needed a strong mental quality.

After thinking for a while, Qin Ke walked into the house and found a rectangular piece of cloth. "Wrap this around your body so that no one can see it. It's a good opportunity to go out and get familiar with the road today. You can't stay in the yard all your life."

Lu Youqing looked at Qin Ke in surprise. This man was too considerate and attentive.

Neither of them had eaten breakfast in the morning. In fact, rural people of that era generally ate two meals a day at home, except during the busy farming season.

The two men walked towards the town. Some villagers passing by were very surprised to see them. After Qin Ke walked past them, he could still hear them whispering.

This path leading to the town was built a few years ago by villagers from nearby villages who united together. The road is relatively flat, and people nearby who want to go to the town will take this road. The journey is long, and it took Qin Ke and Lu Youqing almost an hour to reach the town.

Although passers-by on the street saw that Lu Youqing was dressed very conservatively, they did not think there was anything strange about it, and Lu Youqing felt a little relieved.

After Qin Ke arrived in the town, he saw that there were more people around. Strictly speaking, it was the first time for both of them to come to the town. In order to avoid getting separated, Qin Ke took Lu Youqing's wrist.

Qin Ke, who had been starving for a long time, was going to fill his stomach first. With his limited financial resources, he definitely could not go to a hotel or restaurant. Qin Ke's eyes lit up, and he pulled Lu Youqing straight to a wonton stall on the roadside not far ahead.

"Boss, give me two bowls of wontons." It was almost past dinner time and there was no one else at the stall. Qin Ke picked a secluded spot and motioned for Lu Youqing to sit inside.

"Sir, your wontons!"

Not long after, the stall owner brought up two bowls of wontons, which were steaming hot and had no extra side dishes. Fortunately, the portion was large, and Qin Ke knew that he should not ask for too much. After all, this was not the era of his previous life when he had no worries about food and clothing.

"You can eat. Don't worry. I'm sitting here and people outside can't see you." Qin Ke handed the chopsticks to Lu Youqing and smiled.

Lu Youqing looked around and found that no one noticed her position in the corner, so she took off the cloth around her face.

Qin Ke took a bite. Although there was not much seasoning in it, for someone who had only eaten a few sweet potatoes from yesterday until now, everything tasted delicious.

When Qin Ke finished the wontons in his bowl, Lu Youqing had just eaten two. He had nothing to do so he began to look at the scenery in the town and the pedestrians on the road. Most of the pedestrians came to the town to purchase like Qin Ke and his friends. They were wearing short coarse linen clothes, some carried baskets on their backs, and some carried things in their hands. Most of them were in a hurry.

He got bored, so he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze on Lu Youqing who was having a meal. He saw that her back was straight and her every move was full of elegance.
