Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Hardships of the Peasants

As far as the mouths of the people in the village who don't think it's a big deal when they see the excitement, they will definitely not let go of the uncle if they catch it, and they will definitely ask questions, rather than let the uncle be questioned when the time comes, it is better to avoid right and wrong directly. Just in the mountains to clean up the land, the tench plans to make use of all the empty space in the valley this year.

When you really feed yourself, you know that you can't just open your mouth and talk about anything. Just last year, they only fed twenty-two chickens, but the tench used a basket to send food to the mountains to feed the chickens, send bran, and food that Fang's food, I feel that she has never stopped, if she didn't have space, really let her carry in from outside the mountain, and definitely press her little man to grow.

Sold from the mountains, whether she dug a trap or how to catch it, in short, there was not much money left. This year, I can't buy all of them from outside, and I still have to grow most of them myself, otherwise I feel like I can't make ends meet.

Based on the variety, they must plant in the mountains this year, and they will plant on a large scale.

There are vegetable patches next to several houses, and they plan to use these tenches for growing vegetables. Last year's dried vegetables were all bought with tench, although it was enough to eat, but why spend money to grow it yourself. The rest of the land has to be set aside for chickens, rabbits and pigs, and there is not much that can be planted.

The places near the river beach are all small stones, the soil layer is too thin, and the whole small valley is so big, draw the range, and the suitable for planting is only seven or eight acres of land.

"Too little! It's enough for people to eat, and it's definitely not enough to feed these things. ”

In the end, the Fang clan had planted the land for more than a year, and she directly predicted it according to the harvest.

Ding Yu is a child who lived in the city in her previous life, and she originally thought that this small valley was completely enough! But after Fang Shi and his uncle said one after another, it was definitely not enough, and he knew that he had taken it for granted.

"Then there will be enough for us to grow here, and I'll find a place to plant the rest."

She thought of the valley she had found before, it was not bad over there, there was land and water, as long as the entrance was blocked.

As soon as the tench said that the uncle wanted to go and see. The uncle who is so important about farming is very persistent, he can't quite believe the judgment of the eldest niece, about farming, the eldest niece definitely does not understand that he has been dealing with the land since he was a child.

So, Ding Yu led his uncle and Chen Shenzhong to go over there, and Erni and Fang's first picked up the stones on the ground to be reclaimed, and pulled out the big saplings and weeds growing in the ground.

It's a big bend to the valley from here, and it's closer to home here. But that's not all...

"I've been here before." Chen Shenzhong, the child, looked at this gourd-shaped canyon, frowned and objected, "It's not good here." In the summer, there is a large herd of wild boars who like to come here to play in the water and do not leave for many days. Moreover, not only wild boars, but also a leopard stared at this group of wild boars nearby, and hunted for them when they saw the air, and I saw them twice. ”

There is such a good terrain here, there are mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile, Chen Shenzhong and his mother have of course had the idea of this place and want to secretly farm here. But after a few observations, he knew it wouldn't work.

It is not wise to fight for territory with wild animals in the mountains.

Hearing what Chen Shenzhong said, the uncle immediately denied it. Although this place is close to home, he can find time to come more, but since it is so dangerous, he still doesn't want to.

Since this place didn't work, they went back and discussed what else would be suitable. The most annoying thing is the wild boar and the wild rabbit in the mountains, which are useless to both of them whether they grow on the ground or underground. The sweet potatoes you plant in the ground can be dug up and ruined for you, so you have to choose a place carefully.

When you come back, you need to pass through the hot springs, and the tench suddenly turns his eyes to this side.

"Take you guys to a nice place."

The tench beckoned, and then turned around and brought the two of them to the mountain pass on the hot spring.

Before he saw it, Chen Shenzhong wrinkled his little nose nearby, smelled the air, and moved his suspicious gaze to the tench, "Sulfur? ”

"It's smart, it's sulfur, and there's hot springs."

Following the tench, Chen Shenzhong soon saw the flowing hot springs and smelled a stronger smell of sulfur.

"How? Don't worry about wild boars here! ”

The tench swears.

Who would have thought that Chen Shenzhong shook his head lightly, "No wonder I have found that the mountain here is bare near it several times, it turns out that it is because of this." Sulfur is a pungent taste, I haven't tried it, but I've seen some recipes, and I feel that although the sulfur smell doesn't make wild boars like it, it doesn't irritate it too much. The reason why there is no possibility here that there is no food will not come, and once it is planted, I am afraid that it will not be able to prevent it. ”

Compared with my uncle, who has planted the land, and Chen Shenzhong, a tench with theory and practice, I found that I was a little floating. She takes everything for granted, but in her previous life, she thought it could be done after reading some specious novels, very simple. But real life is to walk step by step and really practice.

For example, if she wants to raise chickens, she thinks that she can raise them if she finds a place, but the chickens will get sick, they will not adapt to the environment, and they will die if they are not careful, and they are very vulnerable.

Then she had to clean the chicken coop and feed it every day, if it weren't for Fang's here, she would only run once a few days, that is, raise a few chickens enough for her own family to fight tooth sacrifices.

The main thing is to prepare the chickens for food.

Free-range chickens can be fed less staple foods because it can catch its own food. However, tench wants to feed broiler chickens, which is not only laborious, but also food-intensive. Therefore, she hardly had much spare time to carry chicken food to the mountains in the winter.

Now farming is even more so, she thinks she can find a place that seems safe, but there are also various aspects to consider.

"Don't worry, let's clean up the land in the valley recently, and I'm going around the neighborhood to see if I can find a suitable and safe place to plant."

At this time, the young Chen Shenzhong is more reliable.

Because there was only one hoe, it took five or six days to finish the ground in the valley alone. And the brain of the tench that really cleaned up the ground fell to the ground again, because her fantasy farming and actual farming were really tiring!

She is not a child who grew up in the city where the grains are not clear, and there is no distinction between leeks and wheat seedlings, she knows that the farmer uncle has the hardest time farming. But she has no specific concept of this hardship, has she ever thought that it can be harder than her struggle to survive in the last days?

In her imagination, farming would be tiring, but after the actual operation, she found that farming was more than 10,000 times more tiring than she imagined, which was different from her digging around to pick up survival materials.

Just bending down to pick up small pebbles in the field and throwing them together, and then carrying them to the stream with a basket woven by her uncle, she couldn't stand up straight after a whole day.
