Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 45
Luo Shiyuan was so embarrassing, his face flushed red, his plan to stay for dinner fell through, what should he do next?
For the first time, he felt that he was poor, that it was impossible to have no money, and that his mother and concubine were too harsh on him.

He thought that with the fief, he would be able to hold the money, but who knew that his mother and concubine had already put his salary and the money from the fief into his purse...

He wrote a letter to argue with his concubine, but he did not receive a reply, and was sent by his concubine to move the valuables in the house back without leaving a word.

Thinking of this, Luo Shiyuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable...

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Liu Qingcao turned her head and looked at the old man Niu. Seeing that the old man Niu was unmoved, she didn't care about it, she packed her things and went to the kitchen.

As soon as Liu Qingcao left, the old man Niu walked towards Luo Shiyuan and patted him on the shoulder:

"Everything depends on yourself." After finishing speaking, the old man Niu went to the corner of the yard to wash the pigs into the water, regardless of whether Luo Shiyuan listened or not.

Luo Shiyuan pursed his lips, clenched his hands into fists, looked at the direction of the back mountain, and lowered his eyelids.

Before dinner, Jiang Dafu brought a group of people to hand over the firewood again. The firewood was laid in the reclaimed land. The people in the village were simple and honest, and no one had any idea of ​​making firewood in the wasteland. Wait another three or four days, and it will be fully covered.

"Uncle Niu, what do you want to eat recently?"

Liu Qingcao put away the paper, pen and copper money, clapped her hands and came out to ask, I don't know what to do tonight, the only types of ancient dishes are those, and she has eaten them over and over again, and she is also a little worried.

Liu Qingcao looked at the new vegetable varieties not far away that hadn't grown up yet, and sighed, comforting herself in her heart.

It's okay, it's okay, wait for more than a month, and you can eat it.

The old man Niu also looked at the vegetable garden planted with willow grass. Although he didn't know what was in her field, he knew that these things could be eaten.

"You can make it whatever you want." The old man Niu didn't care what to eat, as long as it was made by Liu Qingcao, it would be fine.

Luo Shiyuan waited quietly at the side, looking at the old man Niu expectantly, but the old man said "whatever", and immediately jumped out from the side.

"Uncle Niu, how about eating fish and fish balls?" Luo Shiyuan looked at Liu Qingcao with a smile, but it was the old man Niu who asked.

Liu Qingcao thought about it, the frozen fish balls in the firewood room had been made for some time, it was time to eat some, otherwise it would be too wasteful if it was broken.

"Then let's eat fish balls and maocai tonight."

Seeing that Liu Qingcao agreed, Luo Shiyuan grinned and followed.

"Qingcao, do you want to help?"

"Oh, then you wash and pick out the vegetables, and you'll use them later." Liu Qingcao rarely saw him take the initiative, not disturbing his interest, and pointed to the vegetables in the basket beside him, asking him to wash and choose the vegetables.

Luo Shiyuan looked aside, stepped up, twisted up the basket and left the kitchen with a smile, went to the water tank in the corner of the yard, and went to work quietly.

Liu Qingcao lit a fire in the kitchen and prepared dishes. It stands to reason that the weather is too hot, so they should eat some light food, but the three of them all have strong tastes, and the light food has no appetite. They might as well eat some spicy food.

"Fish balls, sliced ​​meat, small green vegetables, radishes, cabbage, um, what else?" Liu Qingcao looked at the vegetables in the pot, counted them, weighed them, and felt that they were not enough.

"Let's get some more cucumbers and pork ribs." Liu Qingcao came to the firewood room, looked around, and finally took two pork ribs and two cucumbers, thinking that it should be almost the same.

Maocai is not difficult to make, as long as the vegetables are boiled and cooked, the seasonings are prepared, and the oil is poured on it.

"Prickly~" The oil splashed into the seasoning, making a sound, the oily smoke wafted out, and the spicy smell wafted away, causing Liu Qingcao to squint her eyes.

"Eat and eat." Liu Qingcao put down the spoon and rushed out, breathing in the fresh air.

"Okay?" Seeing her running out, Luo Shiyuan yelled to eat again, wondering if Liu Qingcao yelled wrongly.

"Okay, the smell of oily smoke inside is too strong, wait for a while, you go and ask Uncle Niu to wash his hands first."

Liu Qingcao made arrangements, the kitchen is too small and the ventilation is not good, it seems that after a while, the surrounding area will have to be cleaned up, a few more rooms will be repaired, and the kitchen, toilet and bathroom will need to be done properly.

"How is it, is this delicious?" Liu Qingcao picked up a piece of pork ribs and gnawed on it, not forgetting to ask Luo Shiyuan on the opposite side.

Luo Shiyuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, this kind of maocai is too delicious, um, I really want to live here forever.

At this moment, Luo Shiyuan has only one thought, that is, the food in the future must be at this level, he wants to find a wife who can cook, so that he can eat delicious meals for the rest of his life.

In fact, if he can, he can also marry Liu Qingcao...

Luo Shiyuan raised his head, looked at the smiling person opposite, and had a faint thought in his heart.

There was a big pot of Maocai, and the three of them ate everything. Liu Qingcao ate her dinner so hard that she didn't want to move, so she sat alone in the yard to enjoy the shade.

"Ah, I don't want to move, what should I do?" Liu Qingcao wanted to cry, she was too full and had to work, what a crime!

After resting in the yard for half an hour, Liu Qingcao dragged out the Guanyin leaf and started making cold tofu.

After finishing the cold tofu, Liu Qingcao shook her arms, looked at the moon in the sky, and murmured:
"Well... I can still consider working for meals. I have too many trivial things, and I need someone to help me. I will wait two days and go to the dental store to buy someone back. It happens that the old man Niu and Luo Shiyuan are there. It’s also good to knock and knock to shock.”

Early the next morning, Liu Qingcao had breakfast and called Luo Shiyuan to stop.

"I think it's okay to pay for food with work. You don't have to pay the money next month, just help me with the work."

"No need, I'll pay for it myself, and you can call me if you have a job."

Luo Shiyuan waved his hand and refused. When he went back yesterday, he thought about it carefully. It was inconvenient for him to have no money in his hands. He had to find a way to get money. When he needed money in the future, he wouldn't be like today. Such embarrassment.

Seeing that he refused, Liu Qingcao felt a little pity in her heart, but Luo Shiyuan was a young master after all, no matter how pity she was, she would not persuade him too much, at worst she would just buy two servants and come back.

"That's fine, I will pay more for meals every month...Two taels." Liu Qingcao originally wanted to say five taels, but turned around, and finally decided that two taels was more appropriate. She understood that although Luo Shiyuan He is a young man, but he is poor.

"Okay, next month, I will hand it in on time." Luo Shiyuan nodded, two taels more, 12 taels a month, he should still be able to earn it with his own efforts.

The old man Niu looked at Luo Shiyuan, narrowed his dark eyes slightly, then let out a "sneer", and drove the bullock cart out.

After the old man Niu left, Luo Shiyuan didn't hesitate, and hurriedly followed.

Said that he wanted to find a way to get money, Luo Shiyuan naturally didn't want to delay any longer, and he was going to the town today to see what he could do.

The old man Niu sat at the front of the car, looked at the road ahead, and was silent for a while, with a cold voice:
"Shiyuan, is she still like this?"

"Ah?" Luo Shiyuan was immersed in his thoughts of looking for something to do, and was suddenly asked by the old man Niu, who didn't realize what he meant.

"She didn't give you anything?" Old Niu asked again patiently, with a dark face.

Luo Shiyuan nodded, lowering his eyes to hide the sadness on his face.

"My concubine said, let me come out to practice more, but didn't give me any money. A few days ago, I even sent people to move away the valuable goods in my house..."

"Oh, it's really a dog who can't change eating shit!"

"Brother Cheng?" Luo Shiyuan didn't know why, he tilted his head and looked at the old man Niu's sudden yelling in confusion.

"You should keep your eyes open."

The old man Niu glanced at him with compassionate eyes, Luo Shiyuan shook his head aggrievedly:

"Brother Cheng, I know you are right, but she is my concubine mother, so I can't help it."

"One day, you will know how ridiculous what you said is."

"..."

Luo Shiyuan pursed his lips, but didn't answer, how could he not know, but the less he has, the more he wants to get it, but it's ridiculous that he doesn't cherish what he has.

In Shihe Village, Liu Qingcao went to the field in the morning to pluck the weeds, pulled a handful of small greens, picked out the small greens, chopped the old ones and mixed them with rice bran to feed the chickens, and kept the tender ones for cooking at noon.

Just after feeding the chickens, Liu Qingcao heard footsteps coming from outside the yard, and after a while, Jiang Dafu's loud and rough voice was heard.

"Miss Qingcao, we are here to deliver firewood."

Liu Qingcao put the basin down, washed her hands, and quickly walked out of the yard with paper, pen and money.

"Brother Jiang, it's so early today?" Liu Qingcao looked at the villagers behind him, carrying large bundles of firewood, wondering how they picked them up so quickly.

"It's not too early, every household is ready in the morning, and your big brother Tian Lin even made a special trip to see if you are at home, haha, these firewood are prepared from home when everyone is free, let's bring them first If you sell it, you need to pick it up later.”

Jiang Dafu got up in the morning and went to cut down a big tree that was useless. He sold all the firewood at home, so he had to prepare some big firewood no matter what.

Small firewood leaves, there are many dolls in the house, and it doesn't take long to pile them up again.

Liu Qingcao understood, this villager brought all the spares from her house, so the time for her to burn the land might be a day or two earlier.

Sure enough, as Liu Qingcao thought, after collecting the firewood from the villagers, Liu Qingcao went to the field to have a look. After coming down this morning, more than half of the firewood had been laid, and after three or four more collections, it was almost done.

Looking at the pile of firewood, she went back and carried back the unused old straw and thatch that had been put aside when the house was renovated last time.

"Put a layer of straw and leaves, it should be easy to burn."

After that, she took out a flint from her pocket and started to light a fire.

Wow... The spark jumped out, landed on the kindling grass, started to burn, and the flames began to spread everywhere.

Liu Qingcao held a broom soaked in water, and stood not far away to watch, lest she accidentally burn the mountain down, which would be a sin.

The fire burned in the fields for more than two hours before the firewood was reduced to ashes.

After the firewood was burned, Liu Qingcao didn't dare to leave carelessly. She found unused paper, sat on a stool, and wrote and drew on the paper while noticing the changes in the field.

In the town, the old man Niu delivered the goods to Luo Shiyuan, bought what Liu Qingcao told him, and walked around the market.

"Uncle Niu, why does the guy in Huibailou have so little monthly money?" Luo Shiyuan walked on Qingshi Road in distress. He originally wanted to go to Huibailou to find a job. The monthly fee is only [-] Wen, and the monthly fee for the low-end ones ranges from [-] to [-] Wen...

In the yamen, he couldn't get in, and his mother and concubine had already told Li Zheng that he would not be allowed to work there.

After leaving Huibailou, the monthly payment is even lower in other places, and the old man who eats the world will not let him go, he is lost and helpless.

12 Taels, alas!

Luo Shiyuan walked down the street dejectedly, looking up at Zhou Wei's peddler from time to time, until the whole street was turned around, he didn't find a job that could earn him a monthly income of three or two.

"Have you figured it out yet?" The old man Niu looked down at the person in front of him, saw that he was frustrated, and said in a displeased tone.

"No, let's go back." Luo Shiyuan shook his head, jumped onto the bullock cart, propped his chin with both hands, and leaned his head to think.

"Uncle Niu, are there many wild animals in the back mountain?" Not long after, Luo Shiyuan raised his head energetically, looked at the surrounding forest, and asked excitedly.

As soon as the old man Niu heard Luo Shiyuan's words, he knew what he was thinking, frowned, and looked up at the surrounding mountains and forests.

"Yes. You, no!"

The old man Niu denied Luo Shiyuan's idea, and Luo Shiyuan's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and replied:
"Catch rabbits and pheasants at the head office, I won't provoke big guys."

"Well, I'll go with you tomorrow." The old man Niu was worried about letting him go on an adventure alone, but he was not allowed to see and see. He was young and afraid of getting hurt in an accident. He thought to himself, it's better for him to go with him .

"Okay, Uncle Niu, when the time comes, the two of us will be half of each other." Luo Shiyuan grinned, his black pupils shining brightly.

The old man Niu smiled, he didn't like these vulgar things, but thinking of Liu Qingcao smiling happily holding the money, he wanted to try it too.

He couldn't afford the money from the court. If he was poor, he was really poor, no different from Luo Shiyuan.

The ten taels of silver given to Liu Qingcao last time was saved by him for more than ten years. He spent all his wealth ten years ago. After the incident, he brought the remaining dozens of taels and came here. In a poor country, I bought a cow, bought a house and household items, and spent about the same.

Over the years, he made a living by driving ox carts and renting oxen to plow land, and saved ten taels of silver. As a result, Luo Shiyuan spent a fortune as soon as he came...

Can I hunt?

Without tools at hand, relying on strength alone is not so easy.

"Turn back and take your trident with you."

"it is good!"

With a smile on his face, Luo Shiyuan rushed into Old Man Niu's room, set up a bench, and took down a trident wrapped tightly in cloth from the beam.

"Uncle Niu, I got it."

Luo Shiyuan caressed the trident he bought with money through the cloth, like something precious.

"Well, let's go!"
