Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

However, in Mo Xiaonian's eyes, the things sent by the Wang family were not very practical.

If these gifts from the Wang family were placed in the city, they would definitely be of the highest standard. There were two large bags of fine tea, two blue and white porcelain vases in wooden boxes, two pieces of bright silk, and two bottles of aged girl's red wine.

Fu Cang had no interest in these gifts, but Yue Lu and Lu Hua liked them very much.

"Oh, the color of this silk is so beautiful, and the material is so soft. It would be so beautiful if it were made into a skirt and worn on the body!"

"Grandma, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"

Mo Xiaonian's generosity scared Yue Lu.

"No, no, this is given to you by someone to express gratitude. You should keep it well and don't give it to anyone else. If you can't use this daughter's red wine, you can dig a hole and bury it in the ground. When your daughter with Fu Cang gets married, dig it out and use it as a dowry. It is such a precious thing!"

The corners of Mo Xiaonian's mouth twitched.

Her and Fu Cang’s daughter?

My old swan, isn’t grandma thinking too far ahead?

Mo Xiaonian considered for a moment, took out one of the two blue and white porcelain vases and placed it on the windowsill.

It so happens that the wild flowers in the mountains are in bloom now. It would be such a pleasant thing to pick a handful of wild flowers every day and put them in a vase!

The silk and daughter's red wine were of no use, so she put them into the space. Mo Xiaonian gave a bag of tea to Yue Lu. It was quite pleasant to drink tea when she had nothing to do.

The most important thing is that she now has another 500 taels of silver!

What a happy thing this is.

However, Fucang's recruitment seems to have reached a bottleneck.

There are only more than 300 people in the tribe, and there are no more than 100 able-bodied men among them. We can't all send them to serve as soldiers!

Therefore, when Fu Cang had recruited seventy-five soldiers, he could no longer recruit any more.

The remaining men would rather be hunters, how wonderful it is to be free.

Before, Fu Cang only had a few warriors like Scythe under his command, and he didn't feel that there were not enough people at that time. But now he has 75 warriors, but he still feels that it is far from enough.

Mo Xiaonian comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the number of soldiers is closely related to the population of our tribe. If the population increases, there will naturally be more soldiers.

Although these seventy-five people are not many now, if they are trained into elite soldiers, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated. Don't worry, I will help you to arm these soldiers well. By then, your small team of less than a hundred soldiers will be enough to match the enemy's three to five hundred people."

Mo Xiaonian's words made Fu Cang's blood boil.

"How do I equip my soldiers?"

“Well, you use the military funds to buy some tough leather and I’ll draw a pattern for you. These leathers can be made into soft armor to protect your vital parts, which will make the soldiers much safer.

We also need to be equipped with weapons. Have you seen a spear?"

Fu Cang answered honestly: "No."

"That's a kind of cold weapon that's especially suitable for battlefields. Wait for me to draw a sketch for you to take a look at. If you think it's suitable, I'll see if I can get you a batch. And is the baton I gave you useful?"

Fu Cang nodded hurriedly.

"It's easy to use and carry, and it can often bring unexpected results during a war."

"Then I can get you ten. You can equip each of your backbone members with one. You also need to learn some spear and stick techniques. These are not difficult tasks.

Once your individual combat skills improve, dealing with those disorganized soldiers will be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables! By then, you will be able to defeat a thousand enemies with just one man!"

Fu Cang blinked, then suddenly hugged Mo Xiaonian and took two bites.

"Oh you're crazy again!"

"I'm not crazy, I just like you. I like you so much that I don't know how to treat you. Xiao Nian, when will you grow up?"

This has almost become Fu Cang's mumbling.

Only when his little Nian grows up will their family be complete!

Mo Xiaonian doesn't want to grow up so quickly.

Now the vegetables in their field have grown to an inch long. Mo Xiaonian told Yue Lu that it is time to thin out the seedlings of plants like spinach and cabbage.

Thinning out the seedlings means pulling out some small seedlings from places where the seedlings are too dense, so that the remaining seedlings can grow healthily. These thinned seedlings are the best vegetables they can eat now.

Yuelu, Luhua and Yinzhi were all reluctant to leave.

Those clusters of rice seedlings are so beautiful and green!

But Mo Xiaonian was able to do it. She had read so many books about farming and had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, so she thinned out the spinach seedlings in a field without mercy.

"Grandma, Sister Luhua, Sister Yinzhi, you see, we have to thin them out like this, so that the seedlings can get enough water, sunlight and nutrients, and finally grow into the most perfect vegetables.

These seedlings will not be wasted, we will use them to make soup tonight."

That night, these families all drank spinach soup, but the difference was that Mo Xiaonian's family drank spinach and egg soup.

The chickens raised by Mo Xiaonian have not laid eggs yet, and they are still in the awkward period, looking even uglier than before. The eggs used for cooking are picked up from the chicken coop in the space.

Mo Xiaonian always felt that the mental state of the chickens she raised seemed to be not very good in the past two days. They looked listless, which made Mo Xiaonian feel uneasy.

This was the first time she had raised such small creatures, and she was really afraid of killing them.

Before, she thought that it was because she took the chicks out for too long and made them tired, so Mo Xiaonian did not take them out for a while.

As a result, the situation did not improve at all.

So the next day, during a break from farming, Mo Xiaonian went back home.

She was worried about her chicks and was afraid to find them all dead when she came home in the evening.

As a result, when Mo Xiaonian opened the gate to the yard, she saw a scene that made her extremely angry.

The chickens that she had raised with such great care were now huddled in a corner and shivering, and the chicken feed that she had mixed before leaving was now pecked all over the ground by the three pheasants that she had released.

The feathers of the three pheasants were visibly smooth and shiny, probably because her chicken feed was so good.

In the space, they stole the feed from the old hens in the chicken coop. After coming out, they even came to steal the feed for the chicks. It was so abominable!
