Yang Xue wrapped the five ingots and ten taels of silver in a cloth and put them aside, and she was going to save the fifty taels and not take them out until she had to use them. Usually, if you want to use it, you can use the remaining one or two, and then pack up the things you bought.

For the things she bought this time, she had a plan to buy them again, for example: she bought linen cloth because she was now opening a way down the mountain, and because she often broke her clothes when she opened the road before, she wanted to buy cheap and wearable linen cloth to wear. But it doesn't mean that you only wear linen clothes, but you still wear cotton cloth inside, but you just wear a linen cloth outside. There is also a bucket, which was not very convenient to have only one bucket at home before, so she bought another one. There is also a bowl, usually if she eats with one more dish, she can't find it, so she can only wait for it to be put in the pot, so that she can't make other boiling water or the like with the pot, which is very troublesome. So I bought two big bowls for soup and stuff like that. There are also hemp rope and the like are necessary things, and the next time she goes down the mountain, she will have to buy a basin to come back, and it is convenient to load things and wash things.

The next few days she spent a few days packing up a few pieces of land at the door and coming out, ready to grow some vegetables or something. The radish planted before gave her a lot of confidence, although it didn't grow well, but at least it could grow and there was a harvest, and she believed that if she managed it well, the harvest would get better and better.

If you want to grow vegetables, you must use fertilizer, and in ancient times, fertilizer was generally plant ash and manure. She hadn't built a thatched hut before, but now that she's decided to grow vegetables, she's ready to build one. It doesn't have to be particularly good, but at least it has to have a storage function.

If you clean up the ground, you mainly need to clean up the gravel, tree roots, grass roots and other things inside; Then the soil is dug loosely and flattened, and finally the cleared ground is divided into blocks of suitable size, and a ditch is used in the middle for people to walk in. After the ground was finished, she sprinkled a lot of ash on it that she had burned with dead grass and leaves, and finally sprinkled the seeds she had bought.

In fact, she didn't clean up much land, just five pieces of about four meters long and two meters wide. She wants to pack up so much first, and then slowly open up all the rest.

After that, I started to build a thatched house, and the first thing was to find materials. Look for the kind of tree with a big bowl mouth and a straight one, and there must be a fork on the tree, and the branches that make up the fork must be about the same size, if the difference is too large, I am afraid that it is not safe. There weren't many such trees on the mountain, but it was too much effort to move them where she wanted them, so she had just found the four main pillars she needed to move to her birthday.

On her birthday, she had a full day off, a real day off. She didn't do anything that day, she got up late in the morning, and then lit a fire to boil water, wash up, and make food. After eating, I began to ponder lunch again, and there were still two dried pheasants and a rabbit left in the house. I cut half of the wild and stewed a mushroom chicken soup, and fried a kimchi stir-fried meat with the lean meat I bought before. Because the weather is still cold, and the weather in the mountains is even cooler, the meat is not bad, and the pig's feet have been stewed and eaten before. A pot of white rice was also cooked.

After the rice was ready, it was almost ready to eat, and at noon on my birthday, I ate stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried meat with kimchi, and white rice. After eating, I washed the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the field at the door to take a walk to eliminate food, and walked slowly along the two acres of land at the door twice. I went to the river and sat down for a while, looked at the fish in the water, looked at the trees in the mountains, and got bored again, so I went home and went to sleep.

I slept until I got up in the afternoon to cook, and I didn't finish the meal I cooked at noon, and I just warmed up the rest of the food at night. After eating and washing the dishes, there was nothing to do, because she slept more during the day, she couldn't sleep now, so she used the cloth at home to start collecting the soles of her shoes, but the light in the hole was not good and gave up after a few times. In the end, she was still lying in bed in a daze, and then she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Yang Xue got up early the next morning, and after breakfast, she began to repair the house. First, she used a hoe to dig a large pit in the place she chose, and the place she chose was in the southeast corner of the ground, and she wanted to dig a pit two and a half meters long, two meters wide, two meters deep, and one meter two, but the first half of two and a half meters was only half as deep. Then dig four holes half a meter out of the four corners of the pit to fix the four pillars of the house. On the long side of the vegetable field, dig a semicircular pit with a diameter of more than half a meter and a depth of one meter and a half to use as a place for dunging.

It's easy to say, but it took her seven or eight days to dig the pit. And after digging the pit, she had to press the soil of the pit tightly, and in order to press the soil, she also specially cut down a tree to make a special tool for building soil. It is made according to the wooden straw used by my father to build the earthen wall in the previous life, in fact, it is a large end and a small end of wood, but the big end is cut into a square bottom and flat; The smaller end is a round wooden post that can be held by both hands.

It took one day to lay the soil, and it also took a day to bury the four pillars, which were more than two meters above the outside except for those buried in the soil. After doing this, I cut down other trees and bamboo to make roofs and walls, mainly using bamboo. It was only the wood on the four sides of the roof, and the rest were tied with bamboo and hemp rope one by one. But she is not tall enough, the house she made I am two meters tall and she is only more than one meter, the feet can be reached but not easy to operate, and the stool at home is rolled out before it is done.

The structure of the roof is the same as the way she made the bed before, but this time she used hemp rope to fix it, and the four corners were also bound. It took a day to make the roof, and it took another two or three days to make the fulcrum for the thatched house squatting pit. It was also cut to a length of more than two meters and put it on top of the pit, but this time it was a tree that she had cut down in the previous way, which was not particularly good, but she only used a few pieces of wood that were about straight up. First of all, the distance of about one meter in front of the door of the latrine is put on with wood, and the distance between the middle is a foot long for an adult, and the more than one meter behind it can also be woven with bamboo.

After the inside is done, use bamboo to surround the surroundings, and if you are on the four sides, you will split the bamboo in half and then insert the soil next to the bottom, and tie it on the top. Of course, she put a large log on the pit and tied the bamboo at the place where the manure mouth came out, and the outer bamboo was also tied with a strip. Finally, some thatch was used to put on the roof of the house, and some fresh branches and stones were pressed on top of it.

It took her almost a month to build this small hut, and the vegetables in the field were already growing. The cabbage in two fields, the radish in one field, and the pepper in one field are planted with green beans, and they are all growing okay at present. It depends on whether the next fertilizer can keep up, but she finds it difficult, after all, she is the only one, and no matter how much fertilizer there is, there is not much more. But she could throw some leaves and weeds in and cover them to see if it would work.
