Straw cheap

When autumn was approaching, it rained heavily for two or three days, and the water in the pond was a little overflowing, and the mud in the vegetable field was a little loose and washed away by the water.

When you finish writing and wipe it off with a cloth, you can write again, which is more paper-saving, but fortunately, Wang Jiyuan taught himself a few days ago for a period of time, and he can understand some basic common words.

According to the calligraphy given by Wang Jiyuan, he was practicing the words, from the beginning of the dog crawling to the present can see what words are written, the cloth for wiping the wooden board has been a little black and cannot be washed off, and the raw lacquer on the wooden board has been brushed several times.

"Seeing that your body is stiff now, there is no need to go into the city to dispense medicine, you always took medicine before, and even the house smelled of medicine."

Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who was doing embroidery, the original piece of plain cloth came to her hand, and after he did this, it bloomed and flew into a bird, but Chu Ying was very distressed to buy the silver for these threads, this old lady of the ruined family, ordinary hemp shoes are quite comfortable to wear, and she really wants to make such fancy shoes for herself.

"Don't look at it like that, girls always have to have a pair of beautiful shoes to wear when they go out, waiting for some big day to wear."

Chu Ying saw that it was still raining outside, and she didn't know how many more days it would take, waiting for the weather to be sunny enough to replenish the food and grass for the rabbits

The flesh that grows in the days should be thin.

"You used to learn the words for a while, when you wrote more delicately and lightly, but now you write very powerfully, and the pen is strong, which is very different from before."

"People have strength. Let's eat noodle soup today, add some dried vegetables, don't go out to pick vegetables, those dishes are probably poured into the mud and can't come out, so you can save yourself from getting wet. "When the weather is hot and nothing happens, Chu Ying grinds two sacks of flour, and the rest of the wheat will be made into wheat porridge or wheat rice and the like.

"Okay." The noodles in this noodle soup are dead noodles, and there doesn't seem to be any yeast or anything like that here, so Chu Ying just asked Ye Qiu to add water to the noodles and knead them into a dough, then flatten the slices and drag them into small slices by hand.

This noodle soup generally does not need to add any ingredients, and it can be eaten with a little salt, and it is also easy to pour.

When the weather was clear, the big guys helped out, and the women washed and dried the clothes that had been worn for a long time and were a little hard to accumulate dust, and the men took farm tools to see if the rice in the field could still live.

On this sunny day, the ground is still relatively wet, Chu Ying is not good at mowing the grass immediately, waiting for the ground to dry a little Chu Ying will speed up the mowing, this autumn grass ash grass ears, nutrition will be higher, the rabbits and immortals at home are herbivores, you have to prepare enough forage in the autumn, so that when it snows in winter, you don't have to be afraid of no forage to eat.

Chu Ying looked at Wang Qiyuan, who was a little grizzled, it must have been an accident with the rice on the ground, but there was no way, this drought was almost 3 months, and at that time, the water in this pond was almost dry, and Chu Ying dug out some of the lotus roots that grew a little big in the pond.

Now it has been raining heavily for a few days, and I don't know what it looks like on this ground, but fortunately, the terrain on Chu Ying's side is relatively high, and the underwater is relatively fast, and the wheat field is covered with the hemp stalks left over from the last hemp stripping, which also plays a certain role in preventing soil erosion.

"Chu Ying, it will take some time for the money before that to be repaid to you, the rice on this land is still alive, but this year's harvest must not be good due to such a drought, I'm afraid it won't be back for a while." Chu Ying looked at Wang Yuyuan with his head down and said nothing, and naturally knew his difficulties.

"No, Lu Ming exchanged the money he earned before for rice and sent it to me, but I can eat the next wheat harvest, if you don't have enough, come to me, how much rice can you estimate?" Chu Ying didn't think how much rice this rice could grow with more than a month of water.

"Only 30% of the rice is still alive, and even if it bears rice, it is only 30% of previous years, so I have no choice but to wait."

"Why don't you plough all the dead ones and plant wheat, and then the waterways will be blocked and won't be too wet. The wheat can be harvested in the summer, a few days earlier than in the fall, and it can also solve the urgent need, and then you can plant some beans and wait for the spring to plant rice. ”

Wang Qiyuan thought about it, this is indeed a way, and after a few days, whether those other rice can still be lived, "Your wheat is about to be planted, you must plow this land, wait for me to be busy over there and come to help you, don't shirk, since the money can't be repaid to you early, let's do some work as interest." Wang Qiyuan took a sip of hot water and got up to leave.

"Okay." Wang Yuyuan is hard temper, since he thought about doing this, Chu Ying was a little puzzled if he excused himself.

However, Wang Qiyuan said just now that a lot of rice died, and the dead rice stalks are good paper materials, and when you see it, you can buy some in large quantities, anyway, the name of the village is used to make firewood, and if you exchange it for food, you should be able to get a lot.

The hemp stalks on the wheat field have been dried out in the sun, and they will become crumbs when you step on them, but this useless hemp stalk can give nourishment to the land, and it can be regarded as the last bit of strength.

In the next few days, I saw Wang Qiyuan moving bundles of straw to his home, and there were still a lot of them, so Chu Ying handed the sickle to Ye Qiu and went to explore the situation.

"This is really a sin, this ghost weather, this year's hard work is gone, there is only such a thing left, it is really not worth it, tomorrow I will go to the temple to worship the mountain god, to go to bad luck." Aunt Wang threw these straws into the stove, which had not been burned for days before, and it was already relatively dry.

"Brother Wang, there are a lot of straws, can you use them?"

Wang Jiyuan put down his pole and wiped his sweat, "Why do you want some?" Wait until I carry it to you. ”

"No, I want to exchange some, change more, do you think you want silver or grain?" Chu Ying looked at the straw that was neatly tied into bundles.

Wang Yuyuan's face darkened, "You don't need to help me like this, if you want me, I'll send it to you, this thing is not valuable, there is no need to exchange it for something." I know you're kind, but no one wants this thing when it's thrown on the ground now, so why should you change it? ”

Chu Ying hurriedly shook his head, "No, I really want to change it, you also know that I have paper over there, this thing is good to use to make paper, I don't know how to change it, you see how to change it." ”

Bai Yuhe hung the washed clothes on his big belly, and moved over when he heard Chu Ying say this, "Change it, why don't you change some of it, Yuanyuan, since Chu Ying needs it, we have a lot of it, let's change it, no matter how cheap this straw is, it can be used to light the fire, and it's not so worthless." ”

Chu Ying looked at Wang Yuyuan's face with a difficult face, didn't squeak, picked up the flat pole and hook and went out, "You go back first, I'll transport some for you first." ”

Chu Ying watched Wang Qiyuan walk away quickly and shouted to Aunt Wang to go back, but as soon as she went out, she was stopped by Bai Yuhe, "Sister Chu, you see that my belly is getting bigger and bigger, and life at home is not easy, you can rest assured, I will definitely not overcharge you, this straw can be exchanged for some millet a little, and the child will come out in a few months, I am afraid that there will be no milk at that time, I just want this child to eat some rice cereal." ”
