The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

They didn't even give him a piece of meat!

Then Zhu and his friends secretly went up the mountain to pick poisonous mushrooms. As long as they were very beautiful and colorful mushrooms, they would pick them and take them home.

He also cut some grass and hid the poisonous mushrooms in the grass and threw them to the cows to eat.

Cows are more likely to eat poisonous mushrooms together.

But they picked so many poisonous mushrooms, they just didn’t believe that the cows could not eat any of them?

……

Because it is not the busy farming season now, even if only Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai go to take care of the fields of the two families in the afternoon, they can still barely manage it.

But Xiao Yan had returned to the academy, leaving one less person to help out at home. Besides, setting up the stall now wasn't like the first couple of days, when I could be home before noon...

In short, it was too late to take care of the crops of both families.

Therefore, Jiang Ningning and the others discussed it and decided to outsource the crops to someone else to take care of.

First, hand it over to someone to take care of it on a daily basis. If the business can continue in the future, then contract it out to someone to take care of it on an annual basis.

It is naturally much cheaper to hire someone to take care of the family on an annual basis, but hiring someone to take care of the family on a daily basis is more flexible. Given their family's current situation, the preferred option is naturally to hire someone on a daily basis.

In this world, there is a market price for outsourcing the care of your crops to others.

For paddy fields, the cost is three cents per day per mu; for dry land, the cost is two cents per day per mu.

Jiang Ningning's family has four acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land; while Xiao Yan's family has five acres of paddy fields and four acres of dry land.

Therefore, the total cost of entrusting someone to take care of so many crops for two families is thirty-nine cents a day.

Jiang Ningning and her family originally wanted to contract the crops of the two families to Xiao Fuhua's family to take care of, but Xiao Fuhua's family did not have so many strong laborers, and they already had fields of their own, so they could not take care of so many fields.

It just so happened that there was a family in the Xiao clan with many strong laborers who could take care of everything. Before dark, Jiang Ningning and her friends went to that family and leased a total of 15 acres of land from the two families to them.

It is difficult for farmers to find work. They were worrying about where to get a job. Suddenly, Jiang Ningning and her family wanted to let them take care of the crops. Naturally, everyone in the family was very happy and grateful.

He also felt that thirty-nine cents a day from Jiang Ningning and the others was too much, and refused to accept so much money.

But because Jiang Ningning and the others insisted that this was the market price, the family had no choice but to think that they must take better care of the crops for the family.

When they returned from that house, it was already dark. Jiang Ningning and the others quickly ate dinner, washed up, and went to bed.

I have to get up before dawn tomorrow and go to the town to set up the stall.

When Jiang Ningning and the others went to bed, the villagers had already gone to bed.

Because farmers usually work from sunrise to sunset, few of them are willing to use lamp oil at night.

The village was so quiet for a moment that you could hear a pin drop.

But at this time, Jiang Changcai, Zhu and Jiang Daan did not dare to leave the house.

It was not until a long time later that the three Zhu family members came out of their home. They tiptoed around the village and looked around to make sure that everyone in the village was really asleep and every house was dark. Only then did they go home to get the poisonous mushrooms and green grass.

How could Shen Chunhua sleep well when her man was still doing this? Naturally, she did not agree with this.

But Jiang Daan didn't listen to her at all and had already left.

Shen Chunhua was so anxious that she wanted to follow them. She thought that if they left any traces, she might be able to help deal with them.

But she was also afraid that if they found out, she wouldn't be convicted if she hadn't gone. But if she went and they found out she had helped to clean up the evidence, she would be guilty just like the three Zhus...

Thinking of this, she no longer cared about Jiang Daan.

Her own life is more important.

The cowshed is on the flat ground at the end of the village, a bit far from Jiang Ningning's home.

But they were still afraid of being discovered, so Jiang Changcai and Jiang Daan stood watch on both sides of the cowshed, while Zhu went to throw poisonous mushrooms into the hay trough and water trough in the cowshed.

The three of them had their hands wrapped with cloth to prevent their skin from touching the poisonous mushrooms. After all, they were poisonous, so they were still a little scared. Without the cloth wrapped, they would not dare to touch them.

The moon was very big and could be seen to some extent, but the cowshed had a roof, which blocked the view and made it pitch black inside.

You can only vaguely see the huge body of the cow and the sound of the cow chewing.

Zhu had never been to this cowshed, and for a moment she was not sure where the hay trough and water trough were. She just vaguely saw the cows there. In addition, the troughs were usually placed on this side of the fence to make it convenient for putting hay and pouring water for the cows to drink. So she thought the hay trough and water trough were right in front of the cow's head.

So she walked over listening to the sound of the cow chewing.

When she reached the guardrail over there, she lay down on it and reached inside with one hand, but she couldn't find the hay trough or water trough.

Zhu felt strange. If the two troughs were not placed here, then where should they be placed?

The sound of the cow chewing can be clearly heard, and the cow's head is obviously here. Logically, the water trough and hay trough should also be here.

But the cow's head is here. If we put the grass and mushrooms here, then it doesn't matter if there's no hay trough or water trough, right? The cow will still eat the poisonous mushrooms, right?

Therefore, Zhu quickly scattered green grass and poisonous mushrooms.

But she was still worried, so she stopped before she had finished spreading the grass and poisonous mushrooms in the basket.

I still want to touch the hay trough and water trough and put the mushrooms in them.

Otherwise, she was worried that the cows might subconsciously eat the grass in the trough. If they didn't eat the grass, wouldn't the possibility of eating mushrooms be even smaller?

She didn't want her trip tonight to be in vain.

Just as Zhu was standing outside the cowshed, slowly feeling along the fence for the hay trough and water trough, Jiang Changcai and Jiang Daan became impatient.

They were extremely nervous at the moment. Even if Zhu had only wasted one more breath of time, they felt it was as long as an incense stick, which was extremely unbearable.

Therefore, when they saw that they saw nothing, they hurried to Zhu's side and asked her in a low voice and in a very bad tone why she hadn't finished yet.

Zhu naturally demonstrated it truthfully.

Jiang Changcai and Jiang Daan scolded her: "Why don't you just light a fire stick and see what happens?"

Now that everyone is asleep, who would notice the light in the cowshed?

Sure enough, when the tinderbox was blown, even if it was only a small flame, it could probably illuminate the cowshed.

I saw that the cow was indeed lying facing the guardrail, with its head naturally facing the guardrail, while the water trough and hay trough were on the side of the cow, lying side by side on the other side of the shed wall.

If you want to put poisonous mushrooms in the hay trough or water trough, you have to go in.

Zhu hurried in.

But as soon as she entered, she stepped on cow urine, stumbled and fell, and one of her hands ended up grabbing a large pile of cow dung on the ground.

She tried to get up, but the ground was too slippery. Even if she grabbed the railing, she couldn't pull herself up.
