Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 21 Saw

On the way home, Liu Qingcao boldly inquired about the village, and the old man Niu explained what had always made her curious and confused.

Everyone in the village is indifferent, except for exchanging things, they seldom visit or communicate with each other. This is what Liu Qingcao discovered when she first came here.

This matter has been weighing on her heart, and today she finally knows why...

It turned out that there was no one in Shihe Village many years ago. Most of the people in the village were refugees, and a small number of them grew up beggars.

It is said that after experiencing a catastrophe, the heart was traumatized, and they became taciturn and cautious, and the situation of the older generation was even better.

After hearing this, Liu Qingcao couldn't help but sigh, the source of the trauma might not be...

Hey, Liu Qingcao thought about it, her body trembled unconsciously, just imagine, if she survived in that kind of environment, she might become crazy and have nightmares every night.

Alas, it is really hard for those who experienced that disaster.

After learning about Shihe Village, Liu Qingcao inquired about the situation in this great era. The old man Niu said that this dynasty was called the Yu Dynasty, and the current emperor has the surname of Yu, so he took the country's name as Yu.

The Yu Dynasty has been relatively peaceful for the past few years. The emperor is in his prime, and the court is stable. Although it has experienced a catastrophe and most places are weak, they are gradually recovering.

Liu Qingcao listened quietly, and before she knew it, she arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

When the bullock cart stopped, she jumped out of the bullock cart, landed firmly, took her things, and entered the yard.

Liu Qingcao looked back at the old cow in the scorching sun, and went straight back to the house. Seeing that Liu Jiangbei was idle, she asked him to deliver water to the old cow at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Liu Qingcao, she smiled sweetly with crooked eyebrows.

The old man Niu raised his eyes inadvertently, happened to see it, and suddenly looked away, and his eyes fell on Liu Jiangbei who came to deliver water.

Liu Qingcao sorted out all the things. Things that needed to be stored at low temperature were put into the woodshed. The woodshed was a very important place. Every time she went out, Liu Qingcao would lock it.

In fact, that ice should not be seen by others. If someone with a heart sees it, I don't know what trouble it will cause.

The pig's offal was put into a basin by willow grass and soaked in water, so it can be cleaned later.

For a long time to come, the old man Niu will come here to help and eat, so Liu Qingcao will cook earlier.

As long as the food is not too bad, it’s fine. The food here is not too bad. For the people in the village, it’s a Chinese New Year’s meal. Liu Qingcao doesn’t worry about it. She thinks that if you have money, you can eat better, and if you don’t have money, you can save it. If you can endure hardship, you must also enjoy it.

She was busy in the kitchen alone, and Old Man Niu and Liu Jiangbei were not idle either. One swung the hatchet to chop firewood, and the other put the firewood pile away. They looked like a pair of grandparents.

The work in the afternoon was not easy. Liu Qingcao cut two catties of shoulder meat and used it to stew lotus root. After eating it, she was strong enough to work. After the meat in the clay pot was stewed, Liu Qingcao quickly fried a small cabbage. The two outside the yard had dinner.

Seeing the shoulder stew in the basin, Liu Jiang Beisha took a sip of his saliva. Seeing Liu Qingcao, he couldn't laugh or cry. She had such a good meal during this time, but he still made such a move. Don't beat her too much. face off.

Liu Jiangbei is the kind of obedient child who doesn't talk much, can find things to do, and doesn't make people worry too much. Liu Qingcao likes this very much.

Seeing the old man Niu washed his hands and came over, Liu Qingcao called for dinner.

The belly meat is fat but not greasy, and it tastes very satisfying. After eating two catties of meat, there is not even soup left.

Generally speaking, most of the meat still went into the old man's stomach, Liu Qingcao was surprised at first, but now he is used to it.

It's been a long time since I ate shoulder meat. Liu Qingcao still ate four pieces, and she couldn't eat any more. In the past, she would not eat another piece after eating one piece. She can eat so much. Thinking about it, it's because of her lack of body. Very greasy.

Liu Jiangbei was a small one, and he could eat better than her, which Liu Qingcao didn't expect. Seeing the two of them chattering hungry, she thought that the next meal would be inseparable from meat.

After the meal, Liu Qingcao said he wanted to take a rest, but the old man Niu didn't refuse. He sat outside the yard alone with a hat on his face, leaning against the bullock cart to rest.

Liu Jiangbei has a schedule arranged by Liu Qingcao for him, and now he is obediently going to take a nap.

Looking at the pottery kiln, Liu Qingcao decided that she would build another pottery kiln and set up another shed outside the yard for the convenience of the old man Niu and his cattle.

Liu Qingcao is planning the next things, there are many and complicated ones, but all of them are indispensable.

Build a house, build a pottery kiln, build a shed, build a fence, take care of the vegetables and fruits in the field, and deliver goods to the town.

The cooperation with Hui Bailou does not know how much money can be divided, but what is certain is that after Liu Jiangbei gets the money, he will definitely send it to the school.

……

Liu Qingcao sorted it out in her mind, and looked at Nuo Da's yard, which was covered with wild rocks and weeds. This large piece of wasteland was also left by the original owner's parents, but it was too barren and wasted.

Suddenly, Liu Qingcao's eyes lit up, and she immediately made up her mind that after the house was built, she had to use this wasteland and not waste it.

Liu Qingcao looked at everything in front of her, full of energy, got up and went to the kitchen, and started to clean up the pig's offal. The pig's offal was delicious, but it was troublesome to wash. It took her an entire hour to handle the three sets of pig's offal. over.

Liu Qingcao left two sets of water, and took the rest to the cellar of the firewood house, chilled with ice cubes, and the remaining two sets were to be marinated at night and sent to Huibailou.

After washing in the water, the sun was not so poisonous, the old man Niu and Liu Jiangbei started chopping firewood again.

Seeing the two people working so hard, she took out the saw blade, the rope, and started to install the saw frame. This thing is very simple, and it didn't take long to assemble it.

Holding two saws, one large and one small, she walked to the firewood pile with a smile, picked up a piece of firewood that was as thick as her thigh, put it on the stool, stepped on the junction of the firewood and the bench with one foot, supported the firewood with one hand, and Holding the saw in hand, he began to pull.

"Well, it's still much easier!" Liu Qingcao nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the firewood she had divided into two parts in less than a minute.

Seeing this posture, the two people who were busy at the side also stopped and looked at the things in her hand.

"Sister, this thing is faster than a knife." Liu Jiangbei walked around Liu Qingcao, curiously wanting to touch it.

Seeing Liu Jiangbei's outstretched claws, she avoided them.

"This saw is as sharp as a knife, don't touch it."

After listening to the old man Niu, he picked up a big saw, looked at it carefully, picked up a huge piece of wood, imitated the appearance of willow and grass, and saw it back and forth.

The old man Niu was very strong, and the wood broke in two after a while.

He looked at the wood on the ground, then at the saw in his hand, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Well, it's very practical." The old man Niu commented.

"Well, yes, if it wasn't for the grass cutting my hand last time I went to the mountain, I wouldn't have thought of it." Liu Qingcao was unavoidably being investigated deeply, and explained the source of the things.

The old man Niu just raised his eyes to look at Liu Qingcao, and hurried away with a big saw.

In the afternoon, besides going to the field to see how quickly the seeds germinated, Liu Qingcao built a bigger pottery kiln in the yard.

After the pottery kiln was built, Liu Qingcao, who was all dirty, went to the house to change clothes, and started making dinner with a homemade apron.

Soon, she brought the food to the table.

Stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots and yam and fungus were well received by Liu Jiangbei as soon as they were served.

Liu Qingcao saw that they were eating deliciously, and her own appetite increased greatly. She ate two big bowls of rice before she stopped.
