Chapter 9 Stockpiling Grain
The sisters bought some jars and jars, and on the way, Qian Fen quietly glanced at the rock sugar paste, and almost bumped into someone several times, Qian Qianqian took out Wuwen, "Go, buy ten yuan." ”
Qian Fen said embarrassedly: "Sister, I don't eat." ”
Qian Qianqian smiled: "If you don't eat it, just give it to Xuanxuan and Xiaohui, my mother also loves sweets, go buy it." ”
Qian Fen's eyes were a little hot, so she took the money and hurriedly bought ten pieces of rock sugar paste and wrapped it, carrying it in her pocket all the way.
Qian Qianqian looked distressed: "Eat it while it's hot." ”
She shook her head: "Let's eat together when we go home." ”
As they were talking, the two of them heard several officers and soldiers in front of them shouting: "There is a war going on in northern Xinjiang, and the imperial court is going to collect grain again, so those who have food at home should pay attention and stock up more." The general gave an order: when the time comes, the imperial court will collect as much as it wants. ”
Qian Fen frowned: "It's going to be a war again?" ”
Qian Qianqian handed over the things to Qian Fen, "You take the things back first, my sister still has some things I forgot to buy." ”
Qian Fen nodded: "Sister, you come back early, it's not safe when it's late." ”
Looking at her little adult, Qian Qianqian rubbed her head: "Go back." ”
She went back to the town, bought some grain seeds and ducklings, and touched the money bag: all she had earned was ten cents.
"You have to hurry up and think of ways to make money, otherwise if you sit and eat empty, you will soon have to drink the northwest wind." Qian Fenfen listened to the discussion of the war, and entered the space with seeds and ducks.
Some of the seeds planted two days ago have already sprouted small shoots, and the pheasants have grown up again, which finally makes Qian Qianqian's mood a little better.
With the food in the space, the family will not be hungry enough to eat when the war starts.
Qian Qianqian continued to sow seeds, and suddenly the seed bag behind her sounded a rustling sound, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Jiu holding her paws to planing the bag, with a dissatisfied face: "I bought so many broken seeds, but I didn't bring me anything to eat!" ”
Qian Qianqian looked at its complaining and arrogant appearance, and hurriedly cried poorly, "I really don't have any extra money to buy food, and now it's about to go to war, and I bought all the hard-earned money I earned today with seeds and ducklings, counting on these to live on during the war." ”
Xiao Jiuyi raised his hairy head: "Then you are going to starve me to death?" If you don't bring me anything to eat, then I'll eat all the little ones in the space. ”
So saying, it was going to go to the pheasant and a few ducklings over there.
"You dare!" Qian Qianqian hugged Xiao Jiu in her arms and grabbed its golden retriever, "This is the life-saving straw of our family, you eat it, what will I use to feed this family in the future!" ”
Xiao Jiu struggled, "Let go of Xiao Ye, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”
Qian Qianqian soothed: "Xiao Jiu, next time you make money, I will definitely bring you something delicious." This time the money is too little, so you can be wronged, okay? ”
Xiao Jiu typically eats soft and not hard, "Remember to bring bones in next time, otherwise it will ......"
"I know, I'll buy you bones." Qian Qianqian changed the topic, "Xiao Jiu, is there any other labor force in the space?" In such a big place, I was so tired from farming alone that I couldn't straighten my waist. ”
Xiao Jiu looked at her with disdain: "This is a human being!" Hum! Here, you can only do it yourself. ”
Qian Qianqian pursed her lips: "......"
Xiao Jiu saw that she was tired, and said: "The output here is ten times that of the outside, and you won't lose anything if you are tired." ”
Ten times?
"So powerful?" Qian Qianqian suddenly felt full of motivation, and when the seeds were planted late, it was already afternoon, and she hurriedly rushed back to the village, carrying the wild eggs taken out of the space in her arms, which were larger than the eggs laid by domestic chickens.
Thinking about the eggs that Aunt Liu gave them before, Qian Qianqian picked two big eggs and sent them to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, I bought a few wild eggs in the town today and sent you two to taste." ”
Aunt Liu refused, and Qian Qianqian said: "If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to ask you to help take care of the family in the future." ”
Aunt Liu is a warm-hearted person, so she accepted it when she heard it.
At this time, Liu Han happened to carry two rabbits into the door, "Qianqian? ”
He scratched his head, as if embarrassed, "You're here, do you need help with something?" ”
"Nope." Qian Qianqian looked at him with a long-handled hunting knife on his shoulder, and a small axe on his waist, all of which were hunting knife tools, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Brother Liu, can you lend me your tools?" ”
Liu Han was stunned for a moment, "These are all tools used by men for hunting, you are a girl...... Why don't you bring back this rabbit and make up for your aunt? ”
"No, I just want to try my luck and see if there's any prey to pick up." Qian Qianqian smiled and took the long-handled hunting knife, "This is for self-defense, I'll return it to you when I'm done." ”
Liu Han looked at her departing figure, although she was petite and weak, she was inexplicably full of tenacious strength.
In the mountains and forests, the shadows of the trees are swaying.
Qian Qianqian has been active in the mountains for a while, so she is familiar with finding a place with a hunting pit, and is just about to go to see if there is any prey, but she heard a deliberately low voice from the man, "Slowly retreat, look for shelter and find an opportunity to attack." The wild boar herd is tough and can't come hard. ”
"A herd of wild boars?"
Qian Qianqian was startled, bent down and walked towards the side of the hill, only to see more than thirty sturdy wild boars gathered on the flat ground at the bottom of the slope, gradually approaching the three men in military uniforms in the middle, and let out a low roar of warning from time to time.
The man in ink at the head of the man was broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, tall and straight, and his awe-inspiring aura was quite shocking, and suddenly the wild boar led by him rushed straight towards the man, and a group of wild boars followed him at the same time, menacing.
"General be careful." The two stout men on the man's side roared, shielding the man behind him, spears and arrows together.
The man in ink made the ground sassy with a silver spear, stepped on the head of the wild boar and jumped up, and the gun fell in his hand, and the two wild boars fell to the ground with a bang.
Qian Qianqian's throat tightened: No! No matter how brave these three are, their physical strength is limited, and this wild boar herd is too strong, and she has to find someone to help.
She had just stood up when she heard the man in ink suddenly turn his head and look in her direction, and his voice was deep: "Go and call someone to help." ”
Qian Qianqian nodded: "You hold on." ”
After that, she turned around and ran down the mountain, and was the first to find Liu Han.
Hearing her clarify the situation, Liu Han hurriedly gathered a group of villagers with hunting experience and went up the mountain with tools to help.
At this time, more than thirty wild boars had fallen by half, which was enough to see that the three of them were strong in combat, but the three of them were also injured, especially the two sturdy men, whose faces were covered in blood.
The villagers had rich experience in hunting, and joined the melee in groups of two or three, Qian Qianqian knew that she was invincible, so she stood on the dirt slope with the bow and arrow given to her by Liu Han and waited for the opportunity to attack.
