Chapter 1279 [1278] Farming Records 6 (5000)
This time when she got the house, she owed a big favor from the village. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to take out the treasures in the space, and she wouldn't have been so hard to write down the people and waited to repay the favors in the future. I have to say that there are so many people who are so powerful. Not only did she build four small rooms for her, but she also built a chicken coop and pigpen in the spacious yard, a stove shed outside, and a thatched cottage in the backyard. The house was also surrounded by strong and durable mixed walls of earth and stone.
Although she has many rooms, she is not big in size, and the house is low, and the highest place is only about 2.5 meters. If it is too high, it will feel cold in winter. So her house is small, and she is only 1.5 meters tall, so it is more than enough. It is simply suitable.
All the saved area is used in the area of the yard. It is really large. The front yard is only 100 square meters and the back yard is 70 to 80 square meters. When she goes back, she goes to the mountain to dig some fruit trees and lays some pebbles in the yard. If there are suitable and smooth stones, she can also make some of them and make them into stone tables and stone benches.
In the era when there was no decoration materials, a layer of yellow mud was painted on the wall, and cracks would appear after drying, but they would not affect the overall effect.
The villagers use wood to make beds, but the carpenter and son are not available at present, so they are temporarily supported by wooden boards. A 1.5-meter-5-meter-long earthen kang is made in her bedroom. A wooden bed is used next to the earthen kang. There is also a table in the middle. The window can also store desks and bookshelfs. The bedroom is also the largest in these rooms.
By the way, she also dug a small cellar under the kitchen. Whether it is hot or cold, it can be used to store food. Although there is room, isn’t that still a fee?
Food from outside is enough to be placed in the cellar.
Because of the earthen kang, there are also flues and earthen stoves behind the house. Stairs are made of wood around the house. Firewood can be piled under the stairs in the future. The long eaves just cover the extra corridor of more than meter. In this way, if it rains, you won’t worry about raining in the house.
If she was satisfied with everything except for the lack of furniture, then she had to go to the foot of the mountain to carry water, which was the only flaw.
After all, the water in her space is not available at all times, so it is even more impossible to dig a well. Where does the groundwater come from halfway up the mountain? The original location of the village was chosen in a ravine, which could gather water and form groundwater. So several families in the village had dug wells. Now, the location of their houses is not suitable for digging wells, so they have to go to the river to eat, wear and drink.
Bai He also worked as a carpenter before. When she was idle, she wanted to make some furniture by herself, but she didn't have any tools and the missing things were not young and old. So she asked about her way down the mountain and planned to buy something in the town. If she could get back with some money, she might be able to repay the favors of the villagers to help her build a house.
So, when someone else repaired the furniture pulled out of his old house and put it in the new house, Bai He changed into the clothes he borrowed from Xiaomang, disguised himself as a man, and followed the winding mountain road, crossed mountains and ridges, walked from dawn to dark, and carried a ox cart in the middle. Even the feet that were still walking were ground out of their blisters, and then they saw the outline of the town.
However, when she arrived, the town had closed the gate. It could be seen that the earthquake caused heavy losses to the place. The people who came to flee outside were huddled in the temporary straw shed, breathing.
The environment here is harsh, mosquitoes and flies fly around, and there seems to be a stinking smell in the air. After asking, I found out that the reason why everyone gathered here is because the government will set up porridge sheds here during the day, and they are all homeless refugees.
Although the town has been severely damaged, it has gradually returned to its former noisy over the past few months. Businessmen have money, and they can repair their houses if they are broken, and the goods can be buryed and pulled out to continue selling. The most painful thing is that these ordinary people, whose crops are soaked in water and their houses collapse, and they have nothing.
Since she couldn't enter the city, she found a place without anyone to enter the space. After walking for a day, she was thirsty and hungry.
It is not easy to make a fire once, so she stored a lot of charcoal in the space, and it would be much faster to get the fire when it had charcoal.
After drinking spring water, eating roasted corn, and gnawing on a big and red tomato, I felt my stomach comfortable. I lay on the grass in the space and fell asleep in a short while.
When she woke up again, it was not dawn outside, she quickly harvested the chestnuts and pomegranates in the ground, leaving behind the profits of six fields. The rest were sold to the Space Mall for gold coins. Only in this way can she have more gold coins and open up more land. She now has six fields, and she usually saves six fields and sells ten fields.
After dawn, she scratched the chestnuts with a dagger, put them in the fire and roasted them. After they were cooked, peeled them and ate them. They were fragrant and sweet, and they were so delicious.
Because the chestnuts are big and full, I will be full after eating ten.
After the city gate opened, she realized that the reason why the officers and soldiers were guarding here was that they did not want refugees to enter the city gate, so they had to pay a penny toll.
She had no money and was wandering outside the city. When she saw people in good clothes passing by, she would take out the excellent radish from the space and sell it. Oh, let alone, this is really a solution. A radish is sold for ten cents, and the goods are expensive. At this time, when you have money, you can't buy food, so it's worth selling it more expensive. She sold a radish and entered the city.
After entering the city, I didn’t expect to set up a stall to sell vegetables. Instead, I used the baskets made of willow vines in the mountain to cover them up and went to the fabric store to change the fabric. Because of the earthquake and the continuous heavy rainstorms behind, many of the fabrics in the store were seriously damaged. So now there are many defective products on the stall at the door of the store to be sold.
She has no money, but she has fresh vegetables and fruits that others don’t have. With these beautiful fruits and vegetables, she is still worried that she can’t exchange what she wants?
As expected, as soon as the pumpkin, pepper, cabbage, radish and walnut were taken out, the boss asked how to change it?
Finally, she changed the basket of ingredients to five kilograms of residual fabric. She read that rightly, it was rated by kilogram, not measured by rule. It is roughly estimated that she could make at least seven or eight sets of coats inside and out when she took these fabrics home.
After leaving the fabric store, she packed a basket from the space and went to the grocery store, and changed some dish, chopsticks, casseroles, chopping boards, clay pots and other daily necessities.
I went to the iron shop to change to an iron pot with red dates, walnuts, lotus roots, cabbage, pumpkins and precious bananas, a kitchen knife, woodworking tools, and farming tools.
After she found a place where no one was going to put the things in the storage cabinet, she replaced them with enough ingredients to replace them with large water tanks, bath buckets, rice jars, pickled jars and other daily necessities.
She also exchanged a watermelon for enough pen, ink, paper and inkstone that she used. Since ancient times, things related to these literati have been expensive. Watermelon is so precious that it can be exchanged because the owner of this shop is not short of money and lacks rare fruits.
In another cloth shop, she exchanged ten kilograms of soybeans for twenty meters of residual fabrics, which she planned to use for bedding.
I used about one pound of red dates to exchange for ten pounds of rag fabrics. These fabrics can be used to make shoes, aprons, sleeves and other small objects.
The store also gave her enough needles and thimbles.
I noticed that there was a broken loom in the store, and she exchanged it out with three kilograms of bamboo shoots.
Because there are too many things, the store specially asked the store to send someone to the alley where she was carrying the people. After raising the space, she went to the grain shop.
She didn't buy food, but she needed to sell seeds. She had no money, so she exchanged peas and soybeans for the seeds, which were enough for her to plant both the front and back of the house.
I didn't buy cotton because she planted it. The loom was still useful when she went home to repair it. She just made whatever she needed to wear in the future.
There are so many plants in the space, and there are also plants that can be dyed in the mountains. Although the woven cloth is not as beautiful as the coloring material, it is enough for her to wear.
She also exchanged five kilograms of lotus root for a large millstone. When she bought the millstone, it was almost dark and the others didn't give it to her. She waited at the door of the store until the others closed and there were no people on the road, so she secretly moved to the space.
When I left the city, the open space of sixteen square meters was gone, except for cotton, and I used it to change everything she wanted to change.
Unfortunately, there are no living things to buy in the town. It seems that they can only go back to the village to find a solution. She vaguely remembers that there are people in the village who raise chickens, ducks, geese, but they don’t see pigs, and they probably have already slaughtered them.
Before the city gate was locked, she left the city. Because she couldn't see the road clearly after dark, she found a place to enter the space and put her harvests today one by one to lighten it. She found that among the daily necessities she bought, the salt and seasonings she exchanged for strawberries, peaches, and oranges was the most worthwhile.
Because she hasn't eaten salty taste for a long time, the salt is coarse salt. She tasted it, but it was slightly bitter, but it wasn't impossible to eat it. She went back to process it and it could turn into fine salt.
If she hadn't had the things she had taken good enough and bribed the official who sold salt, it would have probably not been possible to sell her five kilograms at one time. Usually, people would sell them at two.
There is no meat seller in the town. At this time, it is probably difficult to eat meat. Without meat, there is no animal fat, so naturally the oil cannot be extracted. So she plans to go to the mountain to try her luck when she has time to see if she can hunt wild boars.
In order to make sweat medicine, she also used chestnuts, pomegranates, eggplant, celery, soybeans, strawberries, watermelon and other vegetables, and replaced many other medicines that can make sweat medicine, skin trauma, dysentery, and wind-cold.
If there weren't so many things, she wouldn't have emptied all her storage for the past three or four years.
But just this time, it would be enough for her to not go out for two or three years, so she would not lose money.
After dawn, I started rushing for a whole day, and used a newly mature chestnut to carry a donkey cart, so I barely rushed home before dark.
When we returned to the village, everyone gathered here and were surprised to see the things in the willow basket on Bai He's back.
"I saved a landlord in the town, and then I got some money and bought pots and pans. The situation in the city was not very good. The outside was full of disaster victims. It was not as good as in our mountain, at least there were wild vegetables to eat..."
She bought so many things, but she didn't dare to take them out at once. She could only take them out one by one. She went out with excuses and actually went to hunt in the mountains. Anyway, she is good at it and has become famous in the village since she hunted two wolves.
No one will be a joke for excuses for hunting.
After returning home, she took three kilograms of soybeans to Wei's house. Because the iron pot needs oil to boil the pot, it should belong to the Wei's house if it is the most fat in this animal.
“Is anyone at home?”
Bai He shouted at least three times before he saw Wei Ying walking out of the house slowly with the carpenter's tools. When he saw her standing at the door dressed as a man, a hint of alert flashed across her dark face: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Oh, it's this kind of Wei Langjun. I went into the town the day before yesterday and finally got a pot of iron, but I didn't buy the oil. I just thought if I could exchange it for me from your house? Here are three kilograms of soybeans. How many can I change? Can I help me put it in this bowl?"
Wei Ying was very far away from him, probably because they were both unmarried men and women. After hearing her explain her purpose, the man turned around and entered the house, leaving Bai He with a dazed look.
What does this mean? Do you agree or not?
Not long after, he walked out with a clay pot and handed it to her: "Here, it's enough for you to eat for a while."
She hurriedly hugged the clay pot and weighed at least three or five kilograms, and she only prepared three kilograms of soybeans.
"This..., this is too much, the soybeans I give are not enough."
Who would have thought that the man directly grabbed the soybeans in her hand, turned around and left: "Enough!"
Obviously, I didn't want to talk to her for an extra minute.
Three pounds of soybeans are exchanged for three or four pounds (five pounds of added cans) of oil. They have lost money in this business!
Bai He lowered his head helplessly, "Forget it, let's repay you when the time is right. At least, she can still see the legs of the Wei family's father.
I saw him having a pain in his legs on rainy days before. I think it was rheumatism. If she could help him relieve the pain, what would this little oil be?
The oil jar provided by the Wei family not only contained oil, but also oil residue. Although she didn't know what oil it was, it was considered to be meat-filled. That night, she stewed rice in a cabbage pot and stir-fried garlic and cabbage in an iron pot. It was fragrant and delicious, especially the crust at the bottom of the pot. It was really the most delicious rice I have ever eaten through the past few years.
Because she can boil the pot without water when stir-fried cabbage, she is not worried about eating the stomach. So she is not willing to throw away the dishes that are boiling, so she eats them directly with the food. Although she does not lack food, the environment cannot waste it.
The water in the river at the foot of the mountain is still very turbid. Even if you take it home, you need to leave it empty in the water tank for a while and wait until the soil on it sinks before you can drink it.
She couldn't even mouth such dirty water, so she still had space water when using water. Tomorrow, go to the mountain to see if there is any mountain spring water to collect.
She changed two small wooden barrels for carrying water, one for taking a shower, and one shoulder pole, but now she probably doesn't need it, because she hasn't had the chance to tell everyone that she bought it, so if she uses it, she has to do it secretly.
Fortunately, she bought all the tools for carpentry such as axes, saws, etc., and she lacked a lot of furniture at home, so she had to find a way to make it.
Small ones can be made, but for a large item like the door, you have to find the right wood, and you have to rely on the Wei family and his son.
So the next day, she made a steamed bun with red and white radish shredded vegetables, packed twenty or thirty, put them up the mountain in bamboo bun baskets, and came to the door of Wei's house. She called out a few times like yesterday. This time the person who walked out was Dad Wei of Aicheng.
As soon as Acropolis saw Bai He, he smiled: "Miss Bai is a rare guest. Come in and sit in quickly. I won't pick you up if I don't have good legs or feet."
Looking at the grand two-story wooden building and the clean and tidy courtyard, Bai He admired it from the bottom of his heart.
"Hello Uncle Wei, I'm disturbing you. This is the shredded radish steamed bun I made. Do you want to try it?"
As the saying goes, "Miss Bai is here, but what's wrong?"
Bai He was not shy and explained his purpose directly: "Isn't this the house below missing four or five wooden doors? I would like to ask you and Wei Langjun to help me make some when they have time. I will exchange food in the future, or... If you don't dislike it, I can also help you treat this leg."
Acropolis raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You can still treat your legs?"
Although the Acropolis is old and has yellow eyes, their eyes are not turbid and look energetic, and they look clearer than many of their peers in the village.
"My acupuncture skills are good, but I don't have the money to create a good set of silver needles. If you don't mind, would you please let me see your leg? It's better to prescribe the right medicine in the future?"
The Acropolis was thinking about the current situation: "Oh? That's a good relationship, but when you go back to the village, it's not too late to talk about it. I remember your wooden door in my heart. When you queue up to your house, we will go over to help. Although my house is almost built, you also know that everyone in the village is lined up, and the time you said is the latest."
Bai He heard this and nodded quickly, "It's okay, I can wait. Since that's the case, I won't bother you."
Putting the steamed bun basket on the stone table, Bai He got up and said goodbye. As soon as she left, Wei Ying walked out of the wooden house, and Acropolis glanced at him.
"I heard it all? They are here to make wooden doors. You said you didn't do anything wrong, why are you hiding from others?"
Wei Ying glared at his father and hummed silently: "It is always good for men and women to teach and not to get along with each other."
Dad Wei was so angry that he started to blew his beard.
"How can you ask for a wife if you don't contact me? You are twenty-five years old. They are as old as you, and their son is ten years old. Can you fight for a sigh of relief? Otherwise, how can I meet your mother when I die? You can't even ask for a wife back. Why are you so cowardly?"
Wei Ying had been quarreling with the Acropolis more than once, and he was too lazy to respond to such a monotonous conversation. He took the knife in his hand and went upstairs to cure the wooden work. He left the Acropolis so angry that he was about to get up, and only saw the smell of the vegetable steamed bun on the stone table, and quickly shouted to his son.
"Are you hungry? This is the shredded radish steamed bun sent by the white girl. If you don't eat it, will I take it to my house?"
