Chapter 65: Farming on the Road to Exile?
To be honest, Chen Xue has never made the hot pot base, and he used to buy a pack of ready-made if he wanted to eat it.
However, he was fortunate to have seen the hot pot base when he was closed, so he knew a little bit, and then gave everything he knew to Fluttershy.
However, some of the details are still not clear, so Fluttershy has to figure it out on her own.
Fluttershy, on the other hand, doesn't complain, but silently groped around, even pouring out a little bit of an attempt every time, and her mouth turned red and she didn't stop.
Chen Xue took out the fruit, relieved her spicy, and told her not to rush, take her time, one day is not good, two days and three days, ten days and half a month are no problem.
But Fluttershy doesn't listen, saying that she must complete the task she was given to be worthy of herself.
Chen Xue had no choice but to go with her, and then went to her mother's place to help make chili sauce.
In addition to making chili sauce, she also wants to dry chili peppers.
Chili sauce is a seasoning for meals, while dried chili peppers are essential for cooking.
It's just that there is no sun in the space, and she can't dry the chili peppers, of course, she can also take them out to dry, such as the roof of the carriage.
But everyone next to them is in exile, if they are openly drying dried chili peppers, it looks like cooking a big meal, isn't this pulling hatred?
"These vegetable plots are going to be expanded!" Master Chen walked over with a hoe on his shoulder, covered in mud all over his body and face.
"Since it's planted, let's plant a little more." Master Chen pointed to the vegetable field, "Now there are ten vegetable fields, less than one acre of fields, although there is space for grain storage, but we must take into account the situation that if we are in Nanban, we do not harvest enough grain?" ”
At that time, if you don't harvest enough food to hand in, you will be punished.
And most importantly, they hand over food not by family, but by the number of heads, and of course they can choose to pay two-thirds of the production.
That is to say, if it is calculated according to the family, if their family pays ten catties, it is calculated according to the head, but each person pays ten catties, which is several hundred catties.
The problem is that there is uncultivated wasteland, and the grain output in the first year is not high, even if it is calculated according to 300 catties, one person needs to pay 10 catties, and more than a dozen people are hundreds of catties.
Of course, some people will say that choosing to turn in two-thirds of the production can not be avoided?
In this case, even if the output is only ten catties, it will only take about six catties, but the officials over there will not be so easy to talk to.
When they say two-thirds, they mean two-thirds according to the standard they set, that is, two-thirds of the three hundred catties.
That is to say, no matter which one they choose, they will have to hand over hundreds of catties of grain in the end.
So, if they don't have a harvest in the first year, then they can only find a way to make up for it by other means.
And what Lord Chen thinks is that if there is more food in the space, if there is no harvest at that time, you can take out the food grown in the space to make up for it, so as to avoid being punished.
And now it will take at least half a year to Nanban, that is, by the time Nanban, they have already harvested a crop of grain.
When the Nanban side starts farming, the space side can also continue to cultivate the second crop, so that there will be no shortage of food, and the trouble caused by insufficient handing in can be avoided.
"So, in the future, a few of us will come to farm at night." Lord Chen looked at Chen Xue and the two of them seriously.
"Ah......h
Chen Xue opened her mouth wide, it's okay to plant a little bit, but if you plant dozens of acres, it's really tiring, especially because when you grow up, you almost haven't been in the ground, so it's hard to stand it.
"Dad, we're all exiled, you might as well enjoy it."
Chen Xue still wanted to be coquettish, but was interrupted by Lord Chen, "You said it, we have been exiled, so we must make all kinds of preparations, and now our lives are not in our own hands." ”
"Besides, even if we don't prepare for the exile of the Nanban, we will prepare for other things, and if we encounter a crisis that we can't resist, this is our last refuge."
"Also, didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?" Master Chen said, glaring at them, "Farming is an effective way to lose weight." ”
"How dare you glare at me?"
Chen's mother glared back.
Lord Chen's domineering words disappeared in an instant, replaced by a laugh, "I'm staring at Xiaoxue!" ”
"You dare to glare at my daughter?"
"No, I ......"
Lord Chen just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Chen's mother, "Okay, let's plan later, how to farm, I don't know much yet, it's still necessary to make a few more preparations." ”
Her parents said so, and Chen Xue had nothing to say, although she had only traveled through this world for less than a month, and she wanted to enjoy the identity of the eldest lady, who knows......
Who knows but is exiled, and finally has space to enjoy the life of exile, who knows...... Still can't get rid of farming......
In my previous life, I farmed since I was a child, and I studied hard just because I didn't want to farm and make money desperately, so I gave up enjoying life, just to have a better life in the future.
However, in this life, it is good to be able to meet parents who love you.
…………
When night fell, everyone fell into a deep sleep.
The Chen family was guarding the carriage, while Chen Xue's family was still farming and working hard in the space.
At this time, a dark shadow emerged from the forest and touched towards the carriage where the Chen family was.
At this time, the Chen family fell asleep next to them, not aware of the danger at all.
He stared at the Chen family's carriage, wondering which one to burn?
If he could, he planned to burn them all.
After all, why are everyone in exile, why are they so chic, eating and drinking, and riding in carriages.
And he and others are exposed to the wind and rain every day, and they have no water to drink when they are thirsty, and they can only eat some book covers when they are hungry.
Even if the officials distribute food, it is only hard steamed buns and brown cakes, which are not eaten by people at all.
Although Chen Yuan is not corrupt and is not the mastermind, but he is exiled, then he should be treated the same as them.
It's a pity that the others didn't dare to come, didn't dare to do anything to the Chen family, he was the only one, otherwise he would definitely be able to burn down all the carriages before being caught by the Chen family.
Forget it, don't think about that.
Now that they can burn one is one, they are not happy, and they should not think about it.
There was hatred in the man's eyes, he squatted down, picked up a small stone, and threw it towards the location of the Chen family, "Bang", on a quiet night, the voice was very crisp.
One of the Chen family's subordinates seemed to hear the movement and made a move, and the person in the secret was so frightened that he immediately shrank into a ball and hid in the grass.
After a while, he saw that the Chen family's subordinates just turned over, and they were immediately relieved, just a false alarm.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, then crept over and took out a burning stick from the nearby fire.
Then he walked towards the carriage where Chen Xue and the others were, and then threw the torch in his hand towards the carriage.
Although there is no oil for kerosene, as long as the curtain is lit, the carriage can be burned out in no time.
The man smiled smugly.
