Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 23 Tired, Destroy!

When Jiang Erya passed the door of Lao Jiang's house with the grain borrowed from Aunt Zhao's house, she was squinted by the old Jiang who was sitting on the stone pier in front of the door and gave a "pooh" sound.

A mouthful of saliva almost landed on her face.

Jiang Erya hastily stopped her feet and glared at Old Jiang's head.

It seems that my kick at noon was not hard enough.

Jiang Erya narrowed her eyes and slowly raised her right foot.

Old Jiangtou's lower back still had the memory of being kicked, and it hurt reflexively.

Almost forgot, he couldn't afford to mess with this dead girl.

Old Jiangtou was afraid of being kicked again, so he left the stone pier with a "swoosh", dodged and hid behind the courtyard gate.

Jiang Erya looked at Old Jiang's head who was poking his head carefully from behind the courtyard gate, retracted his right foot with some regret, and returned to his new home with the food in his arms.

As soon as Jiang Erya returned to her new home, she saw Jiang Erniu had picked up water and was fiddling with a pile of stones on the porch in front of the door.There was also a bucket of water and a pile of clay next to the stone.

Jiang Erniu saw the grain bag Jiang Erya was holding, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Borrowed from Mrs. Zhao."

Jiang Erniu's heart skipped a beat, is this the solution Erya said?Borrow food?

However, relying on borrowed food to survive the day is not a long-term solution.

If it rains from the sky and the grain can be harvested in autumn, then nothing will be a problem.

I'm afraid that if it doesn't rain all the time, there will be no grain harvested in the fields, and the price of grain in the grain shop will skyrocket again.

The price is one day. When borrowing, it is thirteen yuan a catty. I don’t know how much it will increase when I pay it back. When the time comes, will they pay back the food or the money?

I can't even afford it!
Rather than not being able to pay back at that time, and having to owe the favor of borrowing food, it is better to spend money to buy food from the beginning.

Anyway, that's all for today.

Jiang Erniu planned to go to the county again tomorrow and exchange all the remaining copper coins for grain.I also gave Aunt Zhao ten catties, and hid the rest as rations.

Put a few grains of rice less in each meal, and the clear soup and gruel should last until the autumn harvest.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Erniu continued to play with the stones at hand.He wants to build a firewood stove under this porch.

The side house of the ancestral hall was decided by Lizheng, and it was temporarily lent to the father and daughter to live in, not his own house. He couldn't build a firewood stove in the room, or it would blacken the room.

Jiang Erya boasted: "Father, you can also build firewood stoves, really amazing!"

Jiang Erniu said: "During the slack time these years, I did odd jobs with others and learned a lot.

Building a firewood stove is the easiest.

In addition to this, father can also build a house, cook a kang, dig a well..."

Jiang Erniu promised that next year, they must build a house that belongs to their father and daughter. The house should be bigger and have more rooms.

Jiang Erya watched Jiang Erniu build the firewood stove with a look of admiration, and occasionally gave Jiang Erniu a stone, water, and clay.

Building stoves, repairing fire paths, erecting chimneys with hollow dead trees...

It took Jiang Erniu nearly half an hour to build the firewood stove. He wiped his sweat and nodded with satisfaction.

"Finally it's finished. It's still damp and not very strong. Let's light a fire and dry it. When the clay on it dries and hardens, you can use it with confidence."

Jiang Erya nodded, and happily went to prepare firewood. When the firewood stove was ready, she could start cooking the first meal after moving into the new home.

No matter how poor life is, it still needs a sense of ritual. She has to cook this first meal with heart.

But the plan could never keep up with the changes, and the moment she turned around to move the firewood, her home system beeped, and the task came.

"Task: Learn how to build firewood stoves. Ask the host to build ten firewood stoves independently within two hours..."

Build ten firewood stoves in two hours?Have to do it independently?
How could she build five stoves in one hour?
Even a skilled worker like Jiang Erniu took more than 20 minutes to build a firewood stove.Can she, who has only read it once but never tried it, be better than a skilled worker?

If the timeout exceeds 1 minute, it will be judged that the task has failed?
Needless to say, according to the old rules, if the mission fails, she will have to empty the blood tank.

The most hateful thing is that the countdown has already started before she accepts the task.

Ahhh, Tongzi, you are simply not human!To actually release such a soul-hunting mission!

Jiang Erya tried her best to suppress the old blood in her heart, and reached out to take the task.

In the next second, she kicked a few times and dismantled the firewood stove that Jiang Erniu had just built.

Demolished?

Jiang Erniu's eyes were wide open, what's going on?
Jiang Erya didn't have time to explain, so she rebuilt the firewood stove on the spot with the materials that had been dismantled.

The system did not say that the ten firewood stoves must be kept intact after they are built.And she only has two hours, time is tight, she can't afford to find another material for the stove.

After Jiang Erya finished dismantling the firewood stove built by Jiang Erniu, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the action of rebuilding the firewood stove, imitating Jiang Erniu's previous steps, moving her hands quickly.

Building stoves, repairing fire paths, erecting chimneys with hollow dead trees...

After finally building a firewood stove, when the system clicked and counted, she immediately pulled it down and rebuilt it.

Jiang Erniu's heart trembled when he saw it, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

In his opinion, Jiang Erya's current state is obviously not right.

She has been immersed in her own world, dismantling and building the firewood stove, building and dismantling again, it is impossible for a normal person to do such a thing.

Jiang Erniu's eyes gradually turned red, and he held Jiang Erya's shoulders and asked in a trembling voice, "Ah Erya, what's wrong with you? Don't scare dad! Why did you suddenly become like this? It was fine before. Yes..."

Jiang Erya was crying in her heart, her hands were busy.

She knew that in Jiang Erniu's eyes, she was either a lunatic or a fool.Otherwise, Jiang Erniu's sorrow would not be so great.

She took the time to raise her head, and said seriously, "Father, don't make trouble, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'll explain to you when I'm done."

Jiang Erya tried her best to catch up with the progress, but after four or ten minutes, she still only completed the building twice.

What made her uncomfortable was that the dog system didn't count her for the wood stove she built for the second time.

It said that the stones used to build the stove can be used repeatedly, but the clay has become dry and hard after being used once or twice.

An unstable firewood stove is a failed defective product, and defective products are not worthy of being counted.

"Not worthy?"

--Pooh!

Jiang Erya quit.

Tired, destroy it!

Anyway, even if the dog system made an exception and included this defective product, she would not be able to build the remaining eight firewood stoves in the remaining eight ten minutes.

Jiang Erya sat down on the ground, then fell back and lay flat.

The system "ding" once: "Warning: The host is not actively completing the task, and is fishing for fish and water, life value -1, life value -1..."
