Bringing a baby to farm: The book-wearing tycoon pampers the sick and weak prince

Chapter 23

Two catties of fatty pork cost thirty Wen.

Miscellaneous and bought some necessary things at home.

The paper on the window ridges was gone long ago, and the paper pasting the window ridges had to be bought back, otherwise the whole family would always live in that house without windows, wouldn’t they freeze to death after a while?
Fortunately, when they were kicked out, everyone still brought bedding and clothes, but at least some necessities of life, they must be prepared.

Gu Chunhua clutched the money in his palm, lamenting that the money is not spent.

In such a short period of time, she only had a few hundred coins left in her hand.

If it goes on like this, it will soon be exhausted.

make money?

She really observed it on the street.

Small business?

No matter what you do, you need a capital.

Just relying on the few hundred Wen in her hand?
Give me a break.

This amount of food can last up to five months.

Or live frugally.

There are a lot of things that need to be purchased at home, just one or two taels of silver?

And even though they took root in the village, their households also settled in Yangjiabao.

The village can sell them dilapidated houses and settle them down, but the land is bought by each household with real money.

There is no land, the whole family does not farm, and it is still a huge expense to buy food with money.

According to the background, this era is a time of war and chaos, similar to the war-torn era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The small country of the Great Yan Kingdom they are in has been fighting for years, and the people are in dire straits.

If the family does not farm and collect food, but only buys it with silver, maybe one day when the war breaks out, the money will not be able to buy food, and that is the real starvation.

Want to open up wasteland and farm?
How can you farm without farm tools?

Ironware is a controlled item. Even if there are blacksmiths selling specialized agricultural tools, they are expensive.

Going to open up wasteland with bare hands is almost a no-brainer.

Gu Chunhua looked around and came to the conclusion that small business can't afford it, let alone big business. Even land reclamation and farming have become a luxury now.

The beginning is a dead end.

The whole family hired a bullock cart and brought grain back to the village.

Looking at the grain piled high on the bullock cart, many people are envious.

The emaciated camel of the Lu family is bigger than a horse. Although it is said to be in debt and dilapidated, they still have something in their hands.

Look at people going out for a trip, and the food has already been shipped back.

People in the village envied him one after another, but the elders shook their heads.

"Grandpa Liu, why are you shaking your head? I can see that Liu's life is pretty good. Even though we live in a dilapidated house when we first came here, you can take the food back and eat it for at least half a year."

"What do you know? The Lu family's donkey dung is superficial. Don't watch them bring back food, but think about it, although we are not rich in food, as long as we survive until the autumn harvest, we will naturally be able to pick it up.

But what about them?They don't even have any land, and when the autumn harvest comes, they have to buy grain with money.Do the math, who is more cost-effective? "

"Sixth Master, you're old and shrewd. It's true that the Lu family has a strong labor force, but there is no way to get money and no land. I guess the money is not enough.

Otherwise, I couldn't buy this abandoned old house for 500 Wen. "

"That's right, it's not just about buying a house. It's not like you don't know why Lizheng spared no effort to keep them in our village. Could it be that our village is rich, or is our village rich?"

The old man naturally saw the tricks in it long ago.

"Sixth Master, you don't need to tell me, I also know that it must be for the taxes that our village cannot pay every year. The population of our village is not prosperous, and the money paid by Shangguan is not satisfied!"

"Aren't you smart, boy? You can know what's going on here just by thinking about it."

"According to what you always said, the Lu family doesn't know how deep the water is here. They thought they had relatives to help when they ran to our village, so they probably didn't know that they fell into a pit."

Many people laughed out loud. These days, their lives are miserable, and no one is sincerely willing to help others.

It didn't add insult to injury, it was just a kind of schadenfreude from the perspective of a bystander, and these villagers were already considered kind-hearted.

People in the village watched the ox carts enter the village, unload the grain and leave.

Several sons of the Lu family were busy unloading grain, while the two daughters-in-law of the Lu family were busy covering the windows with newly bought window edge paper while helping.

The weather is getting colder and colder. They slept on this kang for the past two days.

Fortunately, the sons are not idle today.

Trying to find a way to dig some yellow mud from the mountain and come back, I finally patched up the dilapidated soil kang at home.

Kang cleaned up, and the sons came back from the mountain to collect firewood. They have not stopped since their mother left for several hours.

This time, the kang finally looked about the same when it was dry. After a while, the earthen kang was warmly burned, and the kang should be completely dry in two or three days.

The two brothers were not idle while pulling the third child.

These few days have not been idle, either repairing the roof or pasting the walls, and erecting the fence around the yard.

The honest and honest Wang Ping has been helping with his brothers all the time. Of course, the brothers have not forgotten Wang Ping's old house.

I went over to help take a look, and found that the co-authored old house is similar to their current house.

Eldest brother, don't laugh at second brother, it's a blessing that the house is still alive.

Gu Chunhua asked his sons to unload the grain into the utility room next to it, and along the way, did moisture-proof and insect-proof treatment.

Moisture-proof is naturally to use stones to set up wooden boards underneath, and put the grain on the wooden boards, with a certain distance from the ground, which can prevent the grain from getting wet.

To prevent insects, it is to sprinkle some herbs they found yesterday, so that mosquitoes and rat ants will not come forward.

Gu Chunhua also bought two big locks, which are specially designed to protect the eldest daughter-in-law.

No matter who made Mrs. Liu think about going to her mother's house at every turn.

Gu Chunhua had to guard against it.

Now she is just a poor old lady.

If you don't clean up Mrs. Liu, you will have to ride on her head.

The current Gu Chunhua is not the old lady who insisted on her own identity, the soft and waxy mother-in-law who couldn't bear to lower her face and care about her daughter-in-law.

So poor that he has to support a large family, whoever dares to grab food from Gu Chunhua now, don't blame Gu Chunhua for daring to silence him.

I watched my mother-in-law lock the door of the utility room.

The copper key was tied around his neck with a small cloth strip.

Liu's eyes widened, thinking of her natal family, her eyes couldn't help but roll.

"Mom, why don't you keep the keys for you. How can you work on such a laborious thing, you old man, it's better for you to be free. My daughter-in-law will help you manage the food. Make sure to take care of the food."

While talking, he stretched out his hand to grab the key.

Mrs. Liu held back for several days.

Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, and marrying this worthless Lu Yanfeng, she can only accept her fate.

But the mother-in-law has always dared not speak loudly to herself, for fear of losing face.

I heard that my mother-in-law turned out to be a young lady.

A woman from the family background of Miss Da has such a good face, so what's the use of that little face?
It is better to hold food in your own hands.
