She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

After leaving the store, Qin Yu went to two or three pharmacies and bought the necessary materials.

I went to the blacksmith shop to get two daggers and inquired about the progress of the crossbow.

I had no desire to wander around, so I went home.

Lu Zhou was using a twig to draw his name on the ground.

Lu Xiaoan followed suit and wrote in the same style.

Qin Yu knew that Lu Zhou was reluctant to waste paper and dared not practice calligraphy on it casually.

Even though he had been told not to worry about the paper, he still insisted on writing on the ground.

"Daughter-in-law, what is this? I've never seen it before, is it edible?"

Zhou Yufen pointed at the bright red chili peppers and looked at Qin Yu with a questioning gaze.

She had noticed them for some time now; they had grown lush and flowered.

Unexpectedly, the fruit ripened in less than two days, and each one was a beautiful bright red.

Unfortunately, I had never seen what it was before, and I didn't dare to pick it and eat it.

Qin Yu put away the medicinal herbs, then squatted down and picked the ripe chili peppers.

"Chili peppers can be dried to make dried chili peppers, chopped to make chopped chili peppers, or ground into powder to make chili powder. They're a treasure!"

Qin Yu was happy to see the chili peppers, but because the number of seeds provided by the space was limited, and she didn't know when she would receive a lot, she decided to dry them first to extract the seeds.

While the weather is still good enough, we can plant another crop, and then we can make chili powder and chopped chili peppers!

Three essentials for removing fishy smells: scallions, ginger, and garlic!

There are scallions and ginger, but no garlic cloves. It would be great if there were some garlic seeds too!

Thinking about her made me feel as if something had weighed down on my body.

I closed my eyes and saw that there were already several kilograms of garlic seeds in the space.

Qin Yu was both surprised and delighted; he hadn't expected it to be used in this way!

However, he was also troubled for a while because he couldn't openly take it out.

So she started thinking about how to get them all out.

Zhou Yufen didn't notice Qin Yu's expression; she was just imitating Qin Yu as she slowly picked the chili peppers.

"How many acres of land do we have at home?" Qin Yu asked casually.

"We've planted spring wheat on two acres of fertile land, and we'll buy some sorghum seeds for the remaining dry land in a few days!"

"Once the wheat is harvested, we can plant rice seedlings and buy two more plots of land!"

Qin Yu knew that the wheat here was planted after the New Year and would be harvested in June or July.

After paying taxes, they sold some of the wheat and kept some of the seeds.

Poor families wouldn't keep the food; they would mostly sell it.

However, production is low, so not much can be sold.

"Then we'll plant rice after the wheat harvest!"

"What is rice? Rice grains? We don't grow that!" Zhou Yufen said casually.

"The yield is too low. The land needs to rest in winter, otherwise we won't be able to grow crops next year!"

"Huh?" This was unexpected for Qin Yu. "Rice? Do you have any at home? I'd like to see!"

"We don't have any at home, but Lin Dazhuang does. He raises ducks, and I'll go get some for you to see later!"

She knew that in ancient times, no crops were planted in winter because the land was infertile and had to be left fallow to allow it to recover.

Furthermore, crops are not resistant to cold weather.

Even so, the crop harvest the following year was pitifully small.

After paying taxes to farmers, some farmers also have to give grain to their employers, leaving them with very little in return!

If there is a drought or flood, they may not be able to survive for a year.

As for rice, it only appeared during the Ming Dynasty.

She wasn't sure if the rice Lu was talking about was actually paddy rice; she could only wait and see!

Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

Lu's mother was quick too; she returned with a handful of rice from the Lin family in no time!

Qin Yu was shocked when he saw the rice; it was actually rice.

"We've grown this before, but it didn't yield much, so we stopped growing it!"

Zhou Yufen said with a look of regret.

"It's alright, I have a way. I'll teach you how to plant it after the wheat harvest in June!"

Qin Yu took the rice from her hand and happily put it away.

He then took out another ten taels of silver and gave them to Zhou Yufen.

"Go to the village chief and village head this afternoon and buy two more plots of fertile land and dry land!"

In rural areas, buying land is a very happy event.

So Zhou Yufen happily accepted the money, saying, "I don't need this much. Dry land isn't worth much. You've taken too much!"

"Then you can keep it!" Qin Yu didn't tell her that he had signed a contract with the young master of Yunlaiju and received five hundred taels of silver.

So she doesn't know how much money she has.

Qin Yu only knew that it was not appropriate for them to come up with so much money right now, so it was best that only he knew this!

“Daughter-in-law…” Zhou Yufen looked at the silver in her hand, then at the bracelet.

My mind is filled with countless thoughts, and I don't know what to say.

Qin Yu understood her emotions, but said nothing!

After grinding all the purchased spices into powder and wrapping them in gauze, nothing major happened in the afternoon.

I stayed with the two children as they practiced writing in the yard.

He wrote Lu Zhou's name on a piece of paper, then opened the book and read it to Lu Zhou word by word.

Unfortunately, she didn't recognize all the characters in the book, so she taught them one line a day while trying to find a school as soon as possible.

Lu Zhou listened intently, spending the entire afternoon figuring out a few characters, slowly learning and writing them.

Lu Xiaoan was only two years old after all. He sat in Qin Yu's arms for a while and then fell asleep!

He put Lu Xiaoan to bed before continuing with his own work.

I'll start by writing the story of the Seven Fairy Maidens and Dong Yong, but that's only a small part of it.

The story of gods and mortals will never be out of style.

Moreover, the contrast between Dong Yong, an ordinary man, and the fact that he was able to marry the Seventh Fairy makes it even easier for people to have all sorts of fantasies!

At the beginning, the handwriting was a bit large, and it was difficult to distinguish the weight when the words hit the ground, so the handwriting was not considered excellent.

After five or six days of practice and pen control, my handwriting has gradually improved.

Since Lu's mother regained her mobility, she has taken over all the household chores.

If Qin Yu doesn't need to do the laundry or cook, he should be left to it.

So Qin Yu buried himself in writing and before long the sun had set.

Mother Lu didn't dare to disturb them. She even stopped Lu Xiaoan when he came out and took him out to play for a while!

They only called out to them when it got dark.

Qin Yu was surprised by Lu Zhou.

I never expected that a child would sit quietly for an entire afternoon.

The family enjoyed a happy dinner together, took a walk in the yard to digest their food, and blew out the lights to mark the end of the day.

Two days later, on the eve of April, it rained, and even more bamboo shoots sprouted after the rain.

With the spiritual spring in his space, Qin Yu wasn't worried at all about not being able to catch fish.

On two separate occasions, they discovered that the fish they had used to trap with bamboo strips had been caught by someone earlier that day.

He wasn't angry about the noise in the village. After attracting three or five large grass carp by putting some spiritual water in the river, he moved to another place.

She guessed that others knew, but because Yunlaiju's usage was not large, she was confident that it wouldn't disrupt her rhythm.

So after moving to a different location, they completely ignored the matter.
