Lingquan, a peasant girl: the bully in the whole family is just me

Chapter 35 Buying Food
Aunt Hua had already prepared some fabrics and patterns, and when she saw Yao Qing coming, she called out politely, "Miss Tang Er."

Yao Qing was startled, and looked at Yao Lan nervously, it was the first time she heard someone call her Miss at such a big age.

Yao Lan patted her on the shoulder, "Study hard."

"Me, what am I going to do?"

"Miss Tang Er, don't be nervous, this servant will definitely teach you carefully." Aunt Hua said with a smile.

She had lived a wealthy life, and because she fell from the top, she knew that Yao's family was good.

Outsiders said that their master was a bully, but no one abused their husband and wife. They didn't have much to live every day and they still cared about enough food. Compared with the days in the exile village, it was heaven and earth.

Even knowing that the couple wanted to have children, she didn't mind, and allowed her to do some private work to make money.

Although the money earned from doing private work should be shared with the master's family, but Yao's family only needs [-]%, but it has given her great benefits.

As an official slave, she can't redeem herself, so she naturally cherishes being able to follow such a master.

As for the second lady of the church to learn from female celebrities, they are all from the Yao family, so she naturally has no objection.

Yao Qing was still excited and nervous, but firmly stated that he would not come for free, "I, I can help you with your work."

Aunt Hua looked at Yao Lan, and Yao Lan was also speechless: "Then you can help Aunt Hua wash and chop vegetables. The third brother only likes cooking, and doesn't like these trivial things."

Yao Qing happily agreed.

Originally, Aunt Hua really wanted to teach Yao Qing her housekeeping skills, but it turned out that she was not as good as Yao Lan, her lady was not good at embroidery, but she could sew a straight line anyway, while Yao Qing couldn't even thread a needle.

Such a person is determined to do rough work for three years and wants to learn from female celebrities, which is really commendable.

"I, am I stupid?" Yao Qing's hand was no better than Qian's, and the barb on the needle's skin hooked the thread out again.

"It doesn't matter, who didn't learn it stitch by stitch? Let's take it slowly." Aunt Hua patiently taught from the simplest, in short, she must not disappoint her lady's expectations.

Yao Lan didn't expect much from Yao Qing, she just wanted to let her learn some skills and was tricked into working for nothing.

It is best to learn well, and know that you can't learn well if you can't learn well.

Although it is true that the Yao family has great strength, they shouldn't be played by people.

So Yao Qing came to Yao Lan's house every day after finishing her work to learn from female celebrities.

"It's already this time, why isn't it raining?" Yao Xiangbei was impatient with the heat, so he went outside to water the vegetable field, and then built a chicken coop with his son when he came back.

Yao Lan wants to raise chickens. The father and son cut down a lot of bamboo yesterday to make a fence. Now they are building a chicken coop, so that the chickens will not have a place to hide in the hot weather and will easily get sick.

Yao Sanshun said while working: "It rained several times at this time last year, why did you do this this year?"

Yao Xiangbei said: "It's not so hot at this time in previous years, is it? What's wrong with this day this year?"

Floods and droughts are both natural disasters. The former may take people away in waves, while the latter will take people away slowly. If it is really severe, not only will many people starve to death, but even riots will occur.

Yao Xiangbei thought to himself, it's better not to have any big troubles this day.

Not only Tangjia Village, but Yangjia Village and Niujia Village next to it didn't rain. Fortunately, there is still water in the river, otherwise I don't know how to pass this year.

"Buy food." Yan Yuanhao's legs and feet have improved a lot, but he can't go out without permission. All the news is based on the daily life of Yao's father and son and the news from the hidden guards. He came to a conclusion today, " The weather is abnormal, so it is best to store food at home early."

"It's not the right day, we need to buy some food early to make preparations." Yao Xiangbei slapped his thigh, and the egg in his hand fell to the ground, and the yellow yolk was almost integrated into the yellow mud.

Yao Lan stared at him fiercely, her eyes said—her chickens haven't started raising yet.

Yao Xiangbei felt guilty, this is money.

Yao Sanshun is also a little distressed. After the life at home has improved a lot, his favorite thing to do now is to cook. The fried eggs can still eat a few bites.

"Now there is still food at home, so what's the rush? If we don't have any, we can just go buy it." Yao Sanshun is not in a hurry. He was not in a hurry when he had nothing at home before, and he was not in a hurry when there was still rice in the jar.

After all, Yao Xiangbei was told by his son that he had more life experience, especially the first few years when he first arrived in Tangjia Village, life was difficult, and the people who died of starvation are still buried in the mountains, and some don't even have straw mats.

"Not in a hurry now, there will be no chance to be in a hurry in the future."

"God has not rained for so long, this year's food must be less than last year."

Yao Sanshun was still puzzled, hadn't he been here for so many years?Why do we have to stockpile food for a few years? "Our family doesn't farm, so what does it matter? Don't we all buy food?"

Yao Lan lived in a good time, that is, her grandma never had enough to eat when she was a child. As for extreme weather in some places, as long as the road is still there, people are not afraid of being hungry.

Even in the news, there are all kinds of tragedies and the sufferings of all kinds of people. If there is no way to die from starvation, it can be regarded as an anecdote.

Besides, the miscellaneous grains we ate just tasted bad, after all, it was not linked to starvation.

The most important reason during this period was that Yao's family didn't have anything to do with production, so I blame God for my laziness, so I wanted to work hard to get rich, and I didn't think about that at all.

Now that Yan Yuanhao and Yao Xiangbei are talking about buying grain, her heart trembles. Although she didn't pay much attention to agriculture before, she also knows that it is normal for ordinary paddy fields to produce seven to eight hundred catties per mu, and there are even high yields. The yield per mu is still considered to be not good enough.

She has also heard about the yield per mu in Tangjia Village. The better land is only about one or two hundred catties, and the newly reclaimed land has an yield of fifty or sixty catties per mu.

Working hard to open up a piece of wasteland, spending so much effort and two seasons a year, only more than [-] catties of grain is not enough for one person to live on, but it is still regarded as a treasure by the farmers.

The taste is not important at all, and it is normal for most people to not eat enough.

That's all in modern times. The country can have advanced technology to store enough grain. This year's harvest is bad and there is still grain reserves. If there is a big disaster, it will first be food famine, and then there will be starvation everywhere.

Now that the grain is still growing in the field, the people’s mentality is not the same when it is not harvested. It will be different when the harvest is bad and panic spreads when the grain is harvested.

Food is the foundation of survival, otherwise the largest population in all dynasties would not be the peasants.

Yao Lan, who originally wanted to make a fortune as soon as possible, is no longer in a hurry to make medicines, and she is not in a hurry these days.

The most important thing right now is to buy food. Her family doesn't cultivate land, and there are many houses. Buying more food and storing it can always be a precaution.

Yao Lan said: "I want to stockpile some food. It's best if there is no disaster. If there is a disaster, you don't have to be afraid. It's good to buy it for peace of mind."
