It's been a few days since she came to this era, and she hasn't thought carefully about how she can continue to live alone in order to adapt to the environment. Today's words of Aunt Li gave her a sense of crisis, in this underdeveloped era, it is no problem to survive on just a few acres of land, but it is not so easy to live comfortably. If you can't open source, even if you still have some money in your hand, you can only sit and eat.

The status of women in ancient times was already low, and if they didn't have some support in their hands, if they got married in the future, they would definitely be bullied. Although Lin Zhu is still young and far from getting married, she has the soul of an adult after all, and it is always good to take precautions.

Lin Zhu's major is English, so she doesn't need it at all, if she really speaks in English, she will definitely be regarded as a monster. Fortunately, she had lived in the countryside before, and she had some foundation, otherwise she would really be at a loss here. It seems that I can only make a fuss in the fields, and I used to always hear about three-dimensional planting, ecological farms, etc., but now I can only practice here while groping.

Thinking of the ecological farm, Lin Zhu felt that he should raise some chickens first, where chickens can lay eggs to improve their lives and increase their income. The yard at home is large and can be kept free-range, so it doesn't need much food to feed. In fact, you can also raise pigs, but now the conditions are not very mature, and raising pigs is not faster than feeding feed in modern times, and it is generally raised here for a year to be slaughtered, the time is too long, she can't take care of it alone, so she can only give up temporarily.

The most important thing is how to make good use of the only five acres of land she has, there is no way to plant rice in the paddy field, and it is next to the land of the village chief's house, so it is not good to do anything. I had to start with the dry land behind my home.

As long as you go to Xiaoqingshan, you will pass by the edge of the field, Aunt Li also pointed out to Lin Zhu, which pieces of her land are, fortunately, three acres of dry land are connected together, Lin Zhu has seen it, all planted are sorghum and soybeans, soybeans are better, sorghum land does not look very good, not only the planting is sparse, the connected ears are relatively small, at a glance, you can know that the harvest will not be too good.

I don't know if there are any other food crops at this time, so I can only go to the seed store when I go to town, and I can find corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yielding crops. However, we should not underestimate the wisdom of the working people at any time, how to have these high-yield grains, there will definitely be people to grow them, and they will not always be unknown.

Lin Zhu, who had already thought about the road he was going to take in the future, felt that it was not too late to go to the town in the two days when he didn't have to go up the mountain. It's almost the market day, so it's good to go and see it, and buy some chickens by the way.

Lin Zhu first asked Aunt Li if they were going, and told Aunt Li that she wanted to raise some chickens, Aunt Li was very supportive of her, thinking that someone in the village had hatched chicks and bought them directly from the village, but after asking a few families and saying no, they could only go to the market to try their luck. However, Aunt Li didn't go to the market because she had a lot of family affairs, and she was worried that Lin Zhu wouldn't be able to cope with it alone, so she entrusted her to Lin Dazhu, and asked him to wait for her and bring her back with him. Lin Zhu originally wanted to say that there was no need for Aunt Li to worry, but after the end, he couldn't bear to touch Aunt Li's heart, so he didn't say anything.

Lin Zhu, who rushed to the market for the second time, was no longer as nervous and curious as last time, and only thought about how to buy what he wanted. When he arrived in the town, he got off Lin Dazhu's ox cart, and made an appointment with him to return to the cart at noon, and after asking him to rest assured, he left alone.

Lin Zhu thought of the east market with his back on his back, bought some meat and stick bones and left, because there were only about one or two broken silver in his hand, and the silver ingots were inconvenient to take out and use, so he could only save them.

Lin Zhu, who came out of the vegetable market, found a place where no one was, put the meat and bones into the space, and went to the grain store and seed store to have a look. When I arrived at the grain store, I found that there are not many kinds of grain sold here, rice, white flour, sorghum, millet, beans include red beans, mung beans, soybeans, etc., but there are two kinds of rice, one is ordinary rice, and the other is glutinous rice. The grain store also sells oil, asked the guys in the store, Lin Zhu only learned that people here also eat soybean oil, as well as sesame oil, in fact, it is sesame oil, but the price of sesame oil is very high, the general countryside people buy very little, but the soybean oil is also less people, most people take their own beans to squeeze, the store will charge a little wages. Lin Zhu, who looked at the general situation, asked the guy to weigh her ten catties, one catty of rice and eighteen cents, and Lin Zhu took one or two pieces of broken silver to pay the bill. It's strange that such a young child would take so much money, but he is a guest, and as long as he can pay, he won't ask more.

Lin Zhu, who bought rice, took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to the rice and put the rice into the space, only to find the seed store, while asking for directions and walking, and finally found the seed store located in the west of the town, as soon as she entered, the guy in the store saw that she was a child, and thought that she was coming with an adult, so he did not greet her.

Lin Zhu didn't speak, he watched from the sidelines, and it happened that there were a few people in the store picking seeds. Lin Zhu looked in the store and found that the seeds here were all grain seeds and vegetable seeds, and it was autumn, and everyone was just buying some vegetable seeds.

After a while, Lin Zhu was left with a customer in the store, and then the guy also noticed her and asked her what was the matter? Lin Zhu asked about the prices of several vegetable varieties, and the guy thought that he was asking for an adult, so he asked her to go to the adult to buy it together, and don't make trouble here alone.

Lin Zhu told him very seriously that he could call the shots, and took out the money and let the guy see it, which made him shut up. Lin Zhu bought some cabbage and spinach seeds, and if they are planted now, they can harvest some greens in October. Just as she wanted to pay and leave, she found a small bag of seeds in the corner of the store that was very familiar, she pointed to the guys in the store and asked what kind of seeds it was, and the guys saw that she really bought something, so they told her happily. "This is a watermelon seed, have you ever seen a watermelon?" The man shook his head when he saw her, and said angrily, "This watermelon is delicious, only those big families can eat it, I heard that one gets a tael of silver?" You've never seen it as a kid. Anyway, there was no one in the store, and the guy talked a lot, nagging a child in Lin Zhu, "However, no one of us will plant it, and we can't sell it without some seeds, if someone can plant it, it will make a fortune." ”

Lin Zhu listened to the guy's words, she was very moved, if she could, she wanted to give it a try, although she was not too sure, but in the end, she had often eaten it before, and she had seen people grow it, so she should have a chance to succeed. So she asked the guy how much these seeds cost, because no one will plant them, this kind of seed has been rarely asked, that is, some people are curious to buy it back, and they can't plant it, so this kind of seed has been backlogged, and the guy saw that Lin Zhu wanted to buy it, and kindly persuaded her that she couldn't plant it if she bought it, it was too cost-effective.

But Lin Zhu insisted on buying it, and the guy wouldn't push the business outward, so he had to sell it to her, because no one bought it, so he sold it all to Lin Zhu cheaply, and even gave her the bag of seeds, even this cost Lin Zhu two hundred dollars. A tael of silver can be exchanged for about a thousand yuan, and now it is almost half spent. There were still chickens that didn't buy, Lin Zhu hurriedly went out of the seed store, went to find the chicken seller, and inquired with the store guy to find out that the chicken seller was generally in the vegetable market, so Lin Zhu had to return to the vegetable market. On the way, the seeds were also collected into the space.

found someone who sold chickens, and Lin Zhu asked only to find out that the chickens cost five cents. The chicken seller was an old woman, because there were still fifteen in the cage, and if Lin Zhuquan wanted it, it would be cheaper than five yuan, a total of seventy yuan. Lin Zhu was afraid that some of the chickens would trample to death if he had so many chickens on his back, so he bought the cage together and said that it would cost seventy-five yuan.
