After traveling to ancient times, I picked up a sick husband

Chapter 47 Farming (Part [-])
Gu Yunjie didn't care what the villagers thought about her running outside in the morning. At this moment, she was sitting at the dining table, eating the breakfast made by her grandma.

One bowl of sugar water eggs per person, stir-fried vegetables and white rice.

Not the same as the modern breakfast model.The breakfast here must be rice in the morning. After eating rice, you can work hard at noon.

If you drink porridge or other food in the morning, it will be digested in a short while, so you won’t have the energy to work.

Gu Lanshi looked at Chu San with a smile: "Little Chu, eat more and keep your body strong. Look at our Yunjie, who started practicing before dawn and has not complained of being tired."

Chu San was eating sugar-watered eggs, and listening to Gu Lanshi's words, he responded with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm exercising."

"That's good, that's good." Gu Lanshi laughed.

Gu Yunjie listened to her grandma's words, combined with the expression on her grandma's face, she knew what the old lady was thinking, she knew best: "Grandma, you are not afraid that he will recover, just run away."

"You child, why don't you run away? Xiao Chu is not the kind of ungrateful person. Grandma Xiao Chu is right." The worst result is that Xiao Chu dies in their house, which is the last thing she wants to see.

"Grandma, I haven't thought about running away or anything. I just want to exercise my body well, live longer, and I can help with any help at home, instead of just watching from the sidelines." Chu San likes the present Life, I will talk about future things later, I don't want to think about it.

After dinner, Gu Lanshi asked Gu Yunjie to go to the field with her, and asked Chu San to stay and watch the house.

After Gu Yunjie fed Yuan Bao with medicine and nutrients, she went to the ground with Gu Lanshi.There are five mu of paddy fields and one mu of dry land in the family.

Wuxian County belongs to the south, and mainly grows rice.

The rice of this era cannot be compared with the rice of the 21st century.She asked on the way to the field, and the yield per mu was about two to three hundred catties.

There are five mu of paddy fields in the family. If there is no natural disaster, the harvest will not exceed [-] catties, and the land tax must be paid. In the end, the harvest may be about [-] catties.

In fact, there are very few times when the yield per mu is [-] catties, and most of the time it is around [-] catties, so the rations in hand are even less.

"Grandma, there are four people in our family, how much is the annual ration?" Gu Yunjie lived with Grandpa Yao in a hidden rural area when she was young, and she knew a little about farming, but what she knows in modern times must not be used now.

"You have always had a lot of food. Your father and Chu San are men, so they must not save on their rations. After a year, they will need at least a thousand catties of rice."

"One hundred catties of millet can remove more than 60 catties of rice, which is about [-] catties of rice." Yun Jie quickly calculated.

"almost."

"So, if the harvest is not good, there won't be enough for the family to eat."

"Last year's harvest was not good, and the rice you eat now is bought by your father. Our family has run out of food." Last year, there was a flood, which flooded a lot. After two seasons of rice, we only harvested less than one thousand catties of rice. .

Soon, Yun Jie came to her paddy field.

The paddy fields of their family are not far from each other.

She sighed in her heart, if the laboratory had modern rice seeds, she would plant some here to increase the yield, and she would not have to worry about not having enough rations.

"When will the seeds be planted?"

"The seeds can be sown in a few days. We need to turn over the fields first and remove the weeds in the paddy fields." As he said, Gu Lanshi pinched his trouser legs and went out of the field.

Seeing Gu Lan's weeding and turning the soil manually, Gu Yunjie was dumbfounded: "Grandma, you don't need cows to plow the land."

Using pear fields is definitely much faster than manual work.

Gu Lanshi gave her a blank look: "Yesterday I was thinking that maybe you could buy a cow and help the family plant the spring. Who would have thought that you would just buy a horse and come back."

The spring planting season is coming soon. If there is a cow at home, life will be much easier.

Liu Shitou analyzed with her yesterday, saying that the cow can help the family with work, and asked her to buy the cow's head back. She refused to listen to the persuasion, and fell in love with Yuanbao.

This will make you feel guilty, so he laughed and said, "It's a big deal, I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to buy a cow."

Buying a cow is only a matter of ten taels of silver.

Gu Lanshi didn't want to talk to her granddaughter anymore, she was too tired.

It's not like spending money at home.

"How about we rent it from Uncle Liu's house for a few days." Gu Yunjie thought he had a good idea.

"You can try this, I'll ask in a while." After thinking about it, Gu Lanshi thought it could be done.

It is also troublesome to buy a cow and take care of it on a daily basis.

After working in the field all afternoon, Gu Yunjie felt that her waist was no longer hers, and she couldn't support it at all.Fortunately, I ate rice in the morning, so I was not hungry.If he had eaten other digestible food, he would have worked here all afternoon, and his chest would stick to his back when he was already hungry.

No, she had to invent a plowing tool. Only with a tool that she liked could save a lot of labor.

Liu Shitou's house was plowing the land. On the way back, she took a special look to see what the plowing was like in this era and whether it was the same as it is in modern times.

"Uncle Liu." Gu Yunjie grinned at Liu Shitou: "Have you started doing farm work today?"

"Isn't there no ox cart today? I just want to plow out a paddy field to sow seeds."

The way Liu Shitou plows the land is not much different from the modern ones. He uses Quyuan plows. His family's cattle are in their prime and walk fast.

"Uncle, after plowing your family, can you help our family pear a paddy field to sow seeds."

"I'll be free in the afternoon." Gu Yunjie and his wife have been riding in his ox cart recently, so it's not a big deal to help someone plow the field now.

"Then trouble you."

When they got home, Yun Jie told Gu Lanshi that Liu Shitou would help them plow the land in the afternoon.

"He probably won't accept money for this piece of land. I'll bring a piece of meat to their family in the evening." I bought a lot of meat yesterday, and it won't spoil if I put some salt on it for two or three days this season.

Chu San is cooking in the kitchen.

Gu Yunjie looked at his face covered in ashes, and a few hairs in front seemed to be scorched, and couldn't help laughing: "Grandma, look at him, burn yourself into black coals."

"Xiao Chu, aren't you proficient yet? Let me do it." Gu Lanshi hurried forward: "Keeping fire is also about skill."

"I gave too much firewood just now, and the fire spurted out a lot." Who would have thought that a simple fire job would almost burn his hair, and he was quite speechless.

"You go and wash, I'll do it." Gu Lanshi looked at the scorched hair on his forehead, and couldn't hide her smile: "Xiaojie, you come to cook, and I will light the fire."

"Grandma, he is your own grandson, and I am the one you married, right?" She had been working outside for half a day, and she had to cook when she came back.
