Chapter 1317 [1316] Farming Records of Burial of a Girl 44 (5100)

Although the two sisters at home are raising a two or three-year-old child, this does not affect their quality of life at all.

Now, it’s time to dig Artemisia again. In the past, the child was young and needed to take care of her. At this time, whoever has time will dig.

But it’s different now. Not only can the child climb the mountain, but the little guy has a very strong hands-on ability and is willing to participate in all housework activities.

"Liu'er, just take her to dig weeds."

This season, a lot of grass emerges, and if you can't cut it, you can only dig it. He likes to play with soil, just like his intentions.

Compared to Liu'er, her hands and feet are more flexible, so Liu'er takes care of her younger brother. Her eyes are staring at the surrounding grass for green and white artemisia.

In the first month of the lunar month, the white artemisia slid to the ground, and in the middle there are long, black rhizomes that have failed in winter, so you can see that this is the old root from afar.

Anything that does not come from old roots is grown from artemisia seeds. This is the best thing to do if you don’t get stuck by the rhizomes. Just pull it out when you see it.

The rain last year was pretty good, so the Artemisia trench was quite large, and this kind of thing was not suitable for space planting, so the wild outside was the best.

On average, the three of them can harvest four or five kilograms on a day, because the chenosis in the first lunar month is too small. If they wait until February, it will be very large and have the most positive color and taste.

The old saying goes, "February chen, March, Artemisia, and chopped in April to serve as firewood." In fact, the chen, the chen, in the first month, is also good, and the taste is even stronger, but it just doesn't grow big enough. However, after the small picking is washed, mix some flour and steam it in a pot, the taste is amazing.

In addition to Yinchen, there are also noodles, rice, artemisia and shepherd's purse. Shepherd's purse will bloom and grow old in March, and it is the best to eat in the first lunar month.

In the season when the weather is not green, wild vegetables become their daily necessities. In the morning, the wild vegetables are steamed in a pot and it is very comfortable to eat with porridge.

Now San'er only drinks the goat milk by herself, and sometimes she pushes it away and doesn't want to drink it. Only when she puts sugar in it will he drink it obediently.

Although there is no smell of sheep, he can't hold on to drink it twice a day, and he will feel tired. So if he really doesn't want to drink it, she won't force it. The sheep's milk is squeezed out and saved, making yogurt, milk and cheese, or adding it to daily pastries can also play a role.

Nowadays, there is no need to worry about the three kinds of eggs, milk and meat at home. Even if they don’t go out for most of the year, they will not starve to death. This is the benefit of living in the mountains.

Within three or five days, Xiaomang drove the ox cart back, but the only ones who came back were himself, and his brother, sister-in-law and mother stayed in the county town.

After returning the ox cart, he responded to his family's words and rushed up the mountain.

"How is it? All done?"

Xiaomang took the dandelion water that Bai He had soaked for him, drank it in a gully, and wiped his mouth casually with his sleeve. Ba said excitedly.

"Well, everything has been done. My brother rented a private house for my mother and sister-in-law in the village closest to the county town. The house is not small, with yards in front and behind. The key is that there are wells in the yard. The only bad thing is that there are already tofu sellers in the village."

Bai He said disrespectfully: "Then use the second plan, which mainly sells soy products, but you can find out clearly, does the other party only sell tofu?"

Xiaomang nodded and said, "I asked, they didn't even sell bean curd, they only sold tofu pieces, and they didn't know what dried tofu skin they were."

This will not affect the interest relationship. This is also the key point Bai He talked to his godmother at the beginning, because selling tofu can’t sell much money, so it’s better to sell derivatives of tofu, such as bean curd, stinky tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, and tofu brain.

Tofu brain is suitable for making breakfast. Every day, my godmother sends a large bucket to their breakfast stall and then makes some dried tofu side dishes. Isn’t it better than selling tofu?

Moreover, if Xiangzi picks up the city gate, there is no need to enter the city. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don’t need to enter the city, just set up stalls outside the city.

There is a morning market at the city gate every morning, and there is a tofu brain stall, so they don’t have to join in the fun.

Although this stinky tofu is delicious, it is too much for many people to accept it.

So she taught her mother to cook braised dishes, but the braised dishes are not vegetables, but bean products. Of course, it is best to make soup with big bones. How can you do without broth?

A large pot of braised ingredients is ready. Slice the tofu you have worked hard to make, fry it in the braised pot for cooking and soaking. After the tofu is completely tasty, take it out and mix it with many seasonings such as scallions, coriander, pepper, garlic, etc., but it is not worse than the meat at all. It is really delicious.

If there is a sold sesame cake next to you, just squeeze it into the sesame cake, it’s so oh, that taste is really nostalgic!

My godmother can’t make pancakes, she can’t fry them, she can’t do it, and she can’t. If the business needs to be merged step by step, she can’t be too greedy at once.

Although she taught her and her godmother learned it, they still have to think about how to set up this stall.

“How much does a month rent?”

"Thirty copper plates a year."

It's not expensive, and she thinks it's quite cost-effective, but just by hearing this price, you can imagine the house: "It's very broken?"

"Well, it's a terrible account in the village. The house collapsed when the dragon turned over. The exterior walls were in danger in the past two years."

Bai He was speechless: "Then why are you renting this house? Why don't we buy a place and build it yourself! I said before that this is thirty cents cheap. After hearing what you said, it's too expensive."

"The east wing room collapsed, and the three main halls were intact. My brother saw it. This house is really not small and does not affect the living. The key is that there are cellars and wells in the yard, which are close to the county town. My brother said that he would live for one year first."

Bai He frowned, "Will they sell that house?"

This will not be realized after buying a farm outside the city for a while. You can consider buying a house in these villages. Since you have lived there, you must renovate it well. Don’t renovate it. The village will be taken back. When you go back, you will raise the price for them. It would be better to buy it yourself!

"Selling, everyone has lost their households. Now it has fallen into the village. The village chief lion opens his mouth and asks for five taels of silver."

One tael of silver is Yishen, that is, one thousand copper plates, ten thousand coins, and five taels are five thousand copper plates.

Bai Hecai is generous and arrogant: "I don't want to bear it?"

"The key is that if the house is renovated, it will cost another one or two taels of silver. It will cost almost seven taels of silver. My brother said that he would spend money before he made money, which is not worth it, so he decided to make a living for a year first."

"Hmph, he lives a life, and he doesn't think about whether it's okay to live in such a dangerous house as two women? While he is at home, he asks him to find someone to completely renovate the house from inside to outside and set it up. Look, this is ten taels of silver. You go to the city early tomorrow morning to get this matter done. The house falls on Xiangzi. He has a household registration in the county town, and ordinary people in the countryside dare not underestimate it."

Houses in the Ming Dynasty were not cheap. A good place like the capital, it would cost hundreds of taels of silver to buy an ordinary private house. However, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not a good place. The only advantage I have is that it is close to the county town where birds cannot shit. Because the house is broken, it cannot live in people, and it is still a rare household. Therefore, it is so cheap. If you change to other intact houses in their village, you should have to pay ten taels of silver to lose.

It’s not like their mountain, you can build wherever you want!

She also has ideas for this house. She will live separately from Xiangzi and the others sooner or later. Now she will buy it and lend it to her godmother and the others for a temporary residence. When Xiangzi gets married in the future, there is no need to prepare a house for him. There is one in the city and one in the countryside, and the conditions are quite good.

Bai He was so generous that Xiaomang was shocked: "Sister, are we not treating silver as money?"

Bai He smiled and nodded his head: "What are you talking nonsense? Xiangzi lives in the county town in the shanty town. Not only is the small house, it is also dilapidated. Although it is enough to live in and can be renovated, there is no comfortable place to live there. Although there is no land, didn't you say it? There is a yard in front and back, a well, or a house facing the street, right? I sound good at this location, so you can buy it, so you can use it for Xiangzi to marry a wife in the future."

She took Xiangzi home. He worked hard and made money, so it was natural for him to give this house.

When Xiaomang heard that it was for Xiangzi to marry a wife, he immediately understood that they were just temporarily living in. If this business can be started in the future, it would be fine to move nearby. Even if there is a suitable one, their family would buy one?

"That's it. I'll go to the county town tomorrow and arrange this matter as soon as possible."

"Well, remember to let Xiangzi have a kang. Maybe I will live there in winter, anyway, he can't live there now."

If Zhuangzi's injustice cannot be achieved this year, she plans to live in this house in winter so that it will not delay their business during the Chinese New Year.

When Xiaomang went down the mountain, he took ten eggs and said, "It will be no more difficult for you to borrow this to the village chief."

Xiaomang is doing her business this time, so she must do everything well.

When Xiaomang left, Liu'er looked at Bai He with a touching look on his face: "Sister, are you so kind to us?" He even bought a house.

"What do you think of? You said it was for your brother, but in fact it was you and your brother. The houses in the countryside are large, with the east wing and the west wing. In the future, the two brothers will live in the same yard. When you occasionally go back to your parents' home to visit relatives, they will have a place. The two brothers have two houses, and they don't fight or snatch them. Your brother earns money every day, which is what he deserves. San'er is still young, so maybe our family even bought a farm, and life will get better and better. As for you, my sister will not lose money to you, and she will find you a good family and will definitely not let our Liu'er suffer."

"What about you sister, you won't live with us?"

"Silly girl, this tree has a big fork, and the same is true for people. We will sooner or later, your brother married a wife, you married a man, San'er is young and will go to school in the future, and I will get married. As we are now, we will get married every day, and there will be fewer and fewer days together, but you will always be my younger brothers and sisters, and this will not change anything. But, when you were young, they were brothers and sisters, and after they grew up and got married, they may only be natural moves between relatives."

No matter how good the relationship is, after finding her partner in the future, she will seek benefits for her small family. There is no doubt that she, too, is also her.

While I can still be selfless, I will do everything I should do. I will be worthy of the three brothers and sisters, and it will be not in vain that their mother will hold her tightly and entrust her to the death before she dies.

Xiaomang went there for a long time this time, and it took five days, and there were two rains in the middle, but he still rushed back in the light rain.

When I got home, I reported the progress of the incident to Bai He.

"The house has been transferred, but Brother Wei found someone and bought it in just a few taels of silver. The savings can be renovated and rebuilt the house if it can be pushed down and rebuilt, because the house's homestead is relatively wide and long, and an ordinary house is only fifteen meters and twenty meters wide, but the house is thirty meters wide, more than forty meters long, and almost fifty meters long."

Bai He was surprised: "Why is it so big?"

"This is the location of two homesteads. This family only built one house. It was originally planned to build one in the front and back yards. Later, I don't know why it was not built. In fact, the house itself is not valuable. It's just that the location is valuable. The village chief asked for five taels of silver in the village. It was not too much. Unexpectedly, Brother Wei also knew their village chief and there was no one else in this connection. Not to mention saving another two taels of silver, Xiangzi is still qualified to buy and sell land in their village."

"Oh, that's great. This is really good. So why do they plan to renovate the house?"

"On the original basis, if you can renovate it, you will be demolished if it is really worthless, and the walls must be built high. My brother Wei said that such a large yard can be kept for growing vegetables and trees to feed chickens, ducks, geese and pigs. He also said that you will definitely like it, so three main halls, two east wing rooms and two west wing rooms must be built, and a kitchen next to the east wing room, a thatched cottage, pigpen, and donkey shed in the backyard, and you must follow the style you like."

Bai He raised his eyebrows: "No wonder he has to use the saved money to rebuild it. This is no different from overthrowing and rebuilding it. There are many houses and you have to do carpenter work. The project is quite large. It is impossible for Uncle Wei to work hard again, so he has to find a carpenter, right?"

"No, in order to move in as soon as possible, Brother Wei has been busy looking for craftsmen and carpenters these days. Soon, my elder brother is at home now, and Brother Wei hasn't set off. In the remaining half a month, if there are too many people, I will get up. My brother also asked you if you want to go and have a look."

Bai He shook his head and refused: "They just think about it. I don't want to go. What are you going? When they build it, I will live there for a while. Now there are so many good things in the mountains, and I can't take care of it. You have a lot of homework. I'll go up the mountain by myself tomorrow. You two will take care of your children at home to practice calligraphy and study!"

Since the patient who had lost her in the village came to disturb her, she now had more time to free and did not feel like she was bound to be unable to leave her body.

Once the medicine is used, the medicine can be mainly based on precious varieties. Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis, snow lotus, and Polygonum multiflorum have become her first choice.

However, drugs such as deer antlers, seahorses, bird's nests, pangolins and other poisonous snakes that come out of animals are not available.

The space only exists in the plant system. The animal system needs to find ways to obtain it from the outside world. She plans to start raising snakes after she has a farm in the future.

The snake is full of treasures, and the venom in the poisonous fangs is more suitable for many prescriptions, and the pills she refined also require a large amount of venom.

Venom medicine is not just poison, it is also suitable for some severe patients with poison.

Therefore, the five poisons are quite commonly used in the history of medication use.

She doesn't want to go to the medical imperial examination for the time being. I believe no one is more experienced than her. Selling medicine alone is a good way to get rich. What's more, she is not the only one at home to make money. Wei Ying, Xiangzi, and Liu'er are working hard. After having a farm, their family can sell vegetables and grow grains. If they don't become rich in the future, it's still feasible to be a landlord.

At the end of the first lunar month, Photon went home and rode a horse to leave. During this period, they all lived in newly bought dirt houses. Because some rooms were intact and could live in people, they saved the plan to rent a house.

The bedding and other things were all pulled by Photons when they came back. Of course, this trouble was exposed.

They also wanted to say goodbye to this, and said they were going to help Bai He set up a stall, letting their godfather and Xiaomang stay at home and take care of the acres of land.

Everyone is relieved to be with Shoko and Acropolis outside.

My godfather felt that this was too sudden, and he didn't say anything at the beginning, and complained a few times that he was not satisfied with her.
