Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 168

In the days that followed, everyone in the village became busy, and no one wentssip or quarrel.

Every day before dawn, I have to go to the field, and come back after dark, eat two mouthfuls of food, and fall asleep on the bed.

They are all busy in the fields, and children also have to go to the fields to help.

As long as the elderly can still move, those who can hold hands must hold hands. If they can’t do physical work, they can cook at home and take care of their children.

Counting the days, Shen Jiayan looked at the growth of the beets, and suddenly realized a problem. She was afraid that she might confuse beets for vegetables with beets for sugar.

The local beets are chard and thick-skinned vegetables. The leaves can grow after breaking off, and the roots are not as thick as sugar beets.

Sugar beet, which is a biennial plant, is planted this year, and the rhizomes can be harvested next year, which are used to squeeze juice and boil sugar.

I just don’t know if the beet used in this dish can be boiled with sugar. The sugar yield of the boiled sugar is estimated to be not as high as that of the sugar beet.

I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, although I had memorized these steps, I only knew the difference after I practiced the real farming.

I can only take one step at a time, and try to go to the next village to find out if there are sugar beets over there, that is, the kind whose roots are the same as carrots. It would be great if you can find them.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to cultivate seedling selection skills!

If I knew I would travel through time, I should have learned agriculture!Shen Jiayan thought so.

Although there was a gap from what he imagined, Shen Jiayan was not discouraged, nor was he flustered.

After all, she has money in her hand, so she doesn't panic.

The big deal is to take your time, it’s really not good, just sell a few more cookbooks, well, last time I sold it to Zuixianlou, next time I can sell it to Juxianlou!

But in this way, the sugar beets that were supposed to be harvested in June and July may have to wait until September and October. After the autumn harvest, everyone is free, and it should be almost done.

The sugar stored in the beetroot is enough, too early, and the sugar is not enough to reduce production.

You can also experiment with beet leaves before.

Shen Jiayan made up her mind, and went to the town again while everyone in the village was busy.

This time I went to the town, according to the old rules, I went to the old doctor first, took the pulse first, and prescribed the medicine.

This time I went out with Mu Tianze, and his arm happened to be shown by the old doctor.

Although Mu Tianze was also concerned about his injuries, he was more concerned about Shen Jiayan's body, he took Shen Jiayan's pulse from the old man, and stayed by his side.

I heard the old doctor said that after taking the medicine, the body slowly recovers, and it should be almost the same after taking the medicine for half a year.

He also asked Shen Jiayan to eat more meat, fish and eggs, anyway, it can nourish the body, and eating more is always good.

Mu Tianze next to him remembered all of them in his heart, thinking that the chickens at home are only half-grown now, and they can't be expected to lay eggs, it seems that they have to buy two old hens to keep at home.

Shen Jiayan now sees that Mu Tianze is able to take on things very well, and has changed a lot, although he doesn't know if it has really changed, but it is very easy to entrust these small things to him on weekdays.

This sugar refining workshop will be opened in the courtyard of Mu's house in the future, and it cannot be hidden from Mu Tianze and the others. Anyway, the most important things are in her hands. You can see it when you come in, it's no big deal, so I simply brought Mu Tianze with me when I bought the rest of the needed equipment.

Mu Tianze is quite smart, ever since Shen Jiayan asked him to go to the next village to inquire about sugar beets, he guessed what Shen Jiayan was going to do.

Seeing that Shen Jiayan was not shy at all, and took him to buy these things, although he didn't quite understand what it was for, but he knew roughly that Shen Jiayan was going to do something big.

And he didn't mean to hide it from them.

He was also very calm, just listening and watching, without asking a word.

Thinking in her heart, Shen Jiayan didn't hide these things, didn't say what to do, there must be a reason for Shen Jiayan, either the time has not come, or there are other difficulties.

Just keep everything in mind.

This attitude made Shen Jiayan very worry-free, but she couldn't help but reveal a thing or two: "I bought these things because I have a business to use. I've thought about it too, although we still have a little money in our hands, the land is also rented out But after all, there is no reliable income, and if there is something in the family in the future, I'm afraid I will panic."

"It's a pity that none of us are expected to work in the fields, so I would like to start a small business, but it hasn't been done yet, so it's hard to say, you just have an idea in mind, if someone asks, you don't know. "

After hearing this, Mu Tianze felt that Shen Jiayan treated him as one of his own and discussed with him, there was no way he would not agree.

Quickly promised: "Mother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, even Ah Yue and A Run, lest they lose their secrets and be tricked by others! If there is anything I can do, mother can just tell her!"

What Shen Jiayan was waiting for was Mu Tianze's words, and when he saw that he took the initiative to ask, she took him to buy things.

The list is all made up, I need a few large tanks, and the funnel-shaped utensils I ordered last time. There are too many things, and finally I have to hire a carriage to drag them home.

The pair of stone rollers was already agreed to be sent to Shen Jiayan after the stonemason's apprentices went home to harvest wheat and transplant rice seedlings.

Shen Jiayan was thinking, when the time comes to build a shed at the door, and put the stone roller under the shed, it will not be afraid of the wind and the sun.

At that time, it is estimated that I will have to borrow two oxen in the village to pull the stone mill, otherwise I will be exhausted by relying on labor.

But there is no rush. After the villagers are busy with the summer harvest, they can hire someone to take care of it.

Seeing that everything was purchased and the carriage was hired, Shen Jiayan asked Mu Tianze to go back first with the coachman and the things.

The last time Mu Tianze came back to talk about that black-faced man, he always felt a little worried, so she tried to find out in the town.

Although Mu Tianze didn't know what else Shen Jiayan had to do while staying in the town, he guessed that it was either related to this small business or her body.

He just nodded in agreement, took the coachman and drove the carriage home.

Seeing that Mu Tianze and the carriage had gone far away, Shen Jiayan thought about it, found a deserted alley and tossed about for a while, then changed his appearance.

From a young daughter-in-law to a woman in her thirties, her hair was covered with a veil, her face was dark, and there was a big mole at the corner of her mouth, she was bent over, very inconspicuous .

Now that the wheat is harvested in all the towns and villages, there are quite a few fewer people coming to the town, let alone selling mountain products.

No matter how many mountain products there are, in the eyes of the country people, they are not as precious as the grain in the ground.
