Chapter Thirty-Six: The Whole Family Goes Out
In this era, buying cattle is a big deal, you need to go to a specific place to buy, and every cow has to be registered, and killing cattle here is a felony, so the management is also very strict. If there are really cattle that have died of accidents or old age, they also need to be registered.
Chen Yu didn't go with him, but in the evening, Chen Lin still saw the cattle he pulled back. There are a lot of cattle in Chen Lin's space, and it is common to kill cattle and eat beef. Therefore, I don't understand how important a cow is to a farmer.
But just by looking at the grandfather's careful service to this cow, I know that the cow is very important.
Seeing his grandfather skillfully doing the carpenter's work, Chen Lin had to sigh that the people in this world are really very versatile, as if they can do anything.
Originally, the family planned to go up the mountain to dig yams, but because of the delay in buying cattle and making ox carts, the next day, the Chen family gathered and went to the mountain. The whole family mobilized to dig yams, except for the children, and all the family members went to the mountains to dig yams.
Because he didn't have anything to do at home, Chen Yu also went with him. There are a lot of yams in the mountains, and after Chen Yu's sowing, there will be more next year.
"Is this it? What kind of yam is it? Is it digging trees? Uncle Chen Dafu asked.
"No, it's just that under this vine is the yam, and the root of this plant is the yam, be careful when digging, don't dig it up, it's not good to store it." Chen Tiezhu said.
In fact, it was relatively easy to dig yams, and after Chen Tiezhu's explanation, everyone quickly found the trick of digging yams and began to dig their own. These people were digging yams in the mountains, and Grandpa was making an ox cart at home, and it was hard to imagine that an ox cart would only take two days for Grandpa to make.
Chen Yu is a child, and when everyone is digging yams, they are playing on the side, in fact, they are looking for any novel plants and animals. A child, no one will ask her to work.
In the evening, everyone went back and forth twice before moving all the yams home. Looking at the large pile of yams in the house, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, these yams symbolized money.
The next day, a brand-new ox cart appeared, in fact, the people in the village were still very surprised by the Chen family's purchase of cattle, everyone still knew a lot about the situation of each family, although the Chen family was not too poor, but there was no spare money to buy cattle.
Could it be that the whole family is really buying cattle, and the Chen family is not afraid of a just in case. However, although the stomach is slanderous, other families are still very envious, in addition to the Chen family's current cattle, there are two families with cattle in the village, as well as the common cattle in the village.
Now that the Chen family has cattle, they can cultivate more land, and in the future, when the farm is busy, they will have one more object to rent.
These days, the Chen family is very busy, they get up before dawn, go up the mountain to dig yams, and only go home in the evening. It is also because every household in the village is not close to each other, and the Chen family is relatively close to the mountain, so the people in the village did not find the Chen family's abnormality.
In addition to more and more yams in the family, the family also uses yams to cook, although yams can be sold for money, but there are so many yams, it doesn't matter if you eat them at home.
Recently, there are often yam and turtle soup, stewed yams, fried yams, roasted yams, and so on. Because of this yam incident, basically the three families ate together, returning to the state when they were not separated before. Because it saves time and saves manpower by cooking together.
At the appointed time, Chen Tiezhu and Chen Dafu came to the town in an ox cart and a cart of yams, this time the yam was almost 600 catties, and the shopkeeper of the drunken fairy building also paid 600 catties and increased the amount of reservations.
"Big brother, we sell this yam well, and the owner also appreciates this yam, so the consumption of yam is a little more, next time you come, send some more, about a thousand catties." Of course, there could be more, can you provide it? The shopkeeper said.
"Don't worry, we have a lot of yams, don't worry." Chen Tiezhu said.
"That's good, our owner has decided to transport the yam to the city to sell, just wait for the team to be formed, since you have no problem here, I can tell the owner to start preparations." The shopkeeper said.
"No problem, when you need the goods, you can tell us directly, we have prepared a large number of yams now, and we will increase the amount of collection recently, and strive to collect all the yams in the mountain, but if the amount is too large, it will take a long time for us to transport, can the shopkeeper send someone to deliver it at that time?" Chen Tiezhu said.
"That's fine. I'll send someone then, right, what's your address? The shopkeeper asked.
"We are from Chenjia Village, you send someone to Chenjia Village, and Chen Tiezhu's family will be fine." Chen Tiezhu said.
After negotiating with the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, Chen Tiezhu went back with his eldest brother, and this time each family got about one or two pieces of silver. really got the money, and everyone was willing to believe that it was true, after all, although Chen Tiezhu said that before, but he didn't really get the money, he still didn't believe it, but he didn't expect that there was really a pie in the sky.
Now everyone's enthusiasm for digging yams is higher, and after hearing the conversation between Chen Tiezhu and the shopkeeper, even the family no longer eats yams, this is all money.
Chen Yu saw the changes in the family, but he didn't expect that the plan to make the family rich that he had been worried about before came true. Although the money is not too much, it is already very good like this, after all, if there is more, it will attract the covetousness of others.
There is too much money, he can't keep it, and causing trouble is not what Chen Yu wants to see. Although if the Chen family's income is exposed now, it will still attract the envy of others, but it is only envy, and it will not make people want to take risks.
And this matter can't be hidden for a long time, it will be known by the villagers in two years at most, and when the villagers make money together, the Chen family will be safer.
In a month's time, the yams in the mountains were basically dug up, and the yams were piled up in three rooms, about 200,000 catties, but I didn't expect that there were really a lot of yams in the mountains, so many yams, even if they were not valuable, they were used as food, and they were also a lot of property.
In this way, the Chen family sighed, after so many years in the village, and a lot of time in the mountains, why didn't they find out that there were such good things in the mountains earlier. In the years of famine, if there had been such a batch of food, so many people would not have died.
But it's not too late, isn't there such a treasure found at home now?
