Chapter 151: The Importance of Food (Three Watches)

Mrs. Cui was also very surprised to see Cui Hejin coming back.

She looked at Jiang Zhiluo and said, "Yes, Zhiluo, you go and sit next to you for a break." ”

"You're going to be tired, and we're worried about it."

Old Madam Cui couldn't let Zhiluo sit and rest quickly.

It's been a busy day.

Looking at Jiang Zhiluo's thin figure, Mrs. Cui felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

I wanted her to pull the plow, but it was useless to persuade Zhiluo, not to mention that the family really had to plough the land.

Last winter's winter wheat was made by her and Cui Hejin.

Fortunately, Cui Hejin came back from vacation.

Jiang Zhiluo could only nod at Cui Hejian's solemn and dark eyes.

But after sitting next to him for a while, looking at Cui Hejian's busy figure, Jiang Zhiluo was also a little distressed.

I just feel that Cui Hejin is not suitable for this kind of thing at all.

She wanted to buy a cow more and more.

After returning home that night, Mrs. Cui cooked dinner, and Jiang Zhiluo was busy making chili meat sauce.

After living in the big house, there are more rooms, there is a special bath room, and the kitchen is also very large, with two large pots, as well as small pots and pans.

It's much easier to cook.

In addition, she also designed a special study room to facilitate Cui Hejin to read books on weekdays.

The study has two large desks and bookshelves, all of which she draws drawings and asks a specialized carpenter to build furniture.

It's just that there are only a few books on the shelves.

Jiang Zhiluo thought that in the future, when the conditions at home are better, she will be able to buy a lot of books.

Two desks, one for Cui Hejin and the other for her.

That way, you don't have to huddle around a small table in the room like you used to.

And the front yard and back yard are very large, and there are courtyard walls, so the privacy is very good.

There is no longer a need to go to the yard like before, worrying that the villagers passing by at the gate will be able to see what they are doing in the yard.

This way, you can take the time to grow some vegetables in the yard.

The field can be used to grow crops, and there is no need to set aside a little land to grow vegetables.

There are enough vegetables in the front yard and backyard to grow a lot.

In this way, it is also convenient to eat on weekdays, just pull it directly in the yard.

Mrs. Cui also sprinkled some cucumber seeds on the root of the courtyard wall.

Jiang Zhiluo also went to the mountain to get some flower seeds and scattered them in the corner of the yard to keep up.

Living in a big mansion, with the courtyard wall in the way, Jiang Zhiluo feels safe living here.

It is the old lady Cui who likes the house designed by Jiang Zhiluo.

When cooking on the fire, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but say to Jiang Zhiluo: "Zhiluo, the layout of the room you designed is really comfortable. ”

The windows are clear, the bed is comfortable, there are bedside tables and chairs, cabinets and drying racks.

No one in the village uses drying racks, and those drying racks were all painted by Zhiluo and made by carpenters.

Not to mention, although she has few clothes, she hangs them on a shelf, and her clothes are not easy to wrinkle.

And the drawer key.

There are also dedicated bed rooms.

When the weather is cold, you can sleep on the kang, and in the summer, you can go to the room where the bed is put to sleep.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "It's good that my mother lives comfortably." ”

While talking, Jiang Zhiluo sorted out the dried plum vegetables in her hand.

"These snow reds have been sun-dried, so they are called dried plum vegetables, and you can make more plum dried vegetable pot helmets."

Jiang Zhiluo thought about making the dried plum vegetables well, making more chili meat sauce and selling chili meat sauce, and striving to buy a cow.

The stove house was very large, and she looked at two pots at once, one to cook lo-mei, and the other to make chili meat sauce.

Some of the wooden bottles ordered a few days ago have been sent by Han Bingce, and they can be bottled and sold at the dock.

She plans to take more orders in the next two days and make more money in these two days.

She inquired, and if she bought an old cow, nine taels of silver would be fine.

So tomorrow she took the silver divided into lo-mei, and sold some more chili meat sauce, and she should have three taels of silver in her hand.

Before, eight taels of silver were added to three taels of silver, and there was still one tael of silver left to buy a cow.

was busy until midnight when Jiang Zhiluo went to sleep.

Jiang Zhiluo hadn't dreamed for a long time.

I didn't know why I dreamed again that night.

In the dream, there are merchants outside who come into the village to collect grain.

"What harvests?"

"Cornmeal is actually twelve pennies a pound?"

"Is it so expensive?"

Normally, when you go to the grain store to buy multigrain noodles, it costs eight cents a pound, and many people think about selling part of the grain at home when they hear it.

Everyone thinks that when they don't have enough food to eat, they can go to the grain store and buy some multigrain noodles or corn to eat.

But it didn't take long for a war to break out outside, and the price of food rose again and again.

Many people can't buy food if they want to, and even if they do, the price will double.

This is a very serious matter for ordinary people.

Because of the war and the food, the town was in chaos......

Jiang Zhiluo sat up directly in the middle of the night.

Cui Hejin heard the movement and hurriedly sat up.

He saw through the moonlight that Jiang Zhiluo's face was not very good, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, is it a dream?" ”

Hearing Cui Hejian's voice, Jiang Zhiluo slowly came back to her senses.

Her heart was beating a little fast at the moment.

Jiang Zhiluo realized that it was just a dream just now, and now it was still very stable outside, and there was no chaos.

The time in the dream was a little blurry, and Jiang Zhiluo didn't know when there would be a war outside and the price of food would rise.

But she felt that it was better to prepare in advance.

Jiang Zhiluo came back to her senses, suppressed her chaotic heartbeat, and said softly, "It's nothing." ”

Cui Hejin picked up the flint next to him and lit the pine oil candle.

Before Jiang Zhiluo, the candle made of pine oil was used at home and was very resistant.

Cui Hejin looked at the cold sweat on her face, took out a towel, and reached out to gently wipe it for her.

Jiang Zhiluo's eyelashes trembled, and she gently avoided Cui Hejian's hand.

Cui Hejian's hand movement paused and said, "Are you tired during the day?" ”

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just thought it would be better to have a variety of grains." ”

When the world is peaceful, people don't feel the importance of food.

But once there is a war, the price of food in Yunguo will rise, and Yunguo will be in chaos.

Cui Hejin flashed a ghostly light in his eyes, as if he thought of something, and said: "There is still a large open space in the front and back yards, and you can turn over some food." ”

Jiang Zhiluo felt that it was still not enough, although the family ate enough food, but who knows how long the war will last.

In the dream, many people took food and went to the caves deep in the mountains to escape the war.

If you don't have enough food, you won't be able to escape the war.

Some of the refugees have started gnawing on the bark.

Jiang Zhiluo condensed and said, "I want to buy more land." ”

Cui Hejin said: "Okay." ”

Jiang Zhiluo didn't expect Cui Hejin to be so easy to speak, "Don't you even ask the reason?" ”

Cui Hejin said softly: "As long as you want to do something, you can do it." ”

"Besides, it's good to buy more land."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "If we buy more land, we won't be busy at all, so it's better to hire someone to help with farming." ”

"But now that farming is busy and labor is scarce, everyone is probably busy cultivating their own land."

"But I'm not in a hurry for a while, whoever is done can come over and help us farm."

There can be a one-month buffer when planting in the spring.

Even if you farm a month late, it won't matter.
