Wearing the shopping mall through the 70s

Chapter 19 Space Upgrade
"The plastic film is here! Cover it quickly!"

Shen Ruoqing immediately bought several good-quality plastic films from the space, and worked with everyone to cover the rice with rocks.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely. As soon as all the rice was covered with stones and straw, the rain started to fall.

"It's a good thing it was done in time, otherwise the wet rice wouldn't be able to be paid to the public."

Everyone was wet from the rain, but they looked more relaxed than ever before.

After returning home, Du Shi went to boil hot water.

"It's raining. It hasn't rained for a long time. The water in the river has dried up."

"Mom, let's dig a well in the yard."

Shen Ruoqing wiped away the rainwater and suddenly said to Mrs. Ji.

"What's the point of digging a well?"

"Mom, the water level in the wells in the village is getting deeper and deeper now, and the wells are far away from us. Although it rained today, I always feel that the drought will continue, so I need to dig a well just in case. Besides, Yes, it will be more convenient to drill a well to draw water."

"Can't you? The well in the village isn't that far away. Besides, sister-in-law, do you know how much it costs to dig a well?" It was Wang who spoke.

"I don't know." Shen Ruoqing didn't know how much it would cost to dig a well.

"Ruo Qing, drilling a well is not a trivial matter. It is expensive and laborious, and it does not include water. Mazi from the next village asked people to dig a well in the yard. However, the money wasted and only a little mud was produced. ." Han said.

"And now the price of drilling a well has increased. In the past, you could drill a well for 40 yuan, but now it costs [-] or [-] yuan." Shen Xiangdong said.

Is it only fifty or sixty to dig a well?It was much cheaper than she imagined.

In fact, for the 60s, 60 or [-] was not a small amount. Nowadays, every household has little money. Marrying a wife only costs [-] or [-] yuan. Five or [-] yuan is really not a small amount of money.

"It's fifty or sixty? Does our family have that much money?" Wang asked.

"It's quite cheap. If you want to dig a deep well, you'll probably have to pay more. I'm just afraid that if you spend the money to dig a well, you won't be able to get water out, which will be a big loss."

Mrs. Ji said: "Okay, let's wait until the robbery is over to dig the well. It's not your business to ask how much money the family has!"

No one dared to offend Mrs. Ji's majesty.

Shen Ruoqing has no such worries about not being able to get water out.She has the detection function of the system mall. She can know where there is water by just detecting it. She is not afraid of not being able to get water at all.The only problem is how to persuade Mrs. Ji to dig a well.

But now is not the time to bring up this matter, let’s wait until the double grab is over.

For more than 20 consecutive days, the production team completed picking and drying, as well as transplanting the rice seedlings for the next season.

Fortunately, the brigade had already made up its mind and planted a variety of sweet potatoes this year. Sweet potatoes have a high yield and can be used in critical times. However, sweet potatoes cannot be used as public food. Expanding the planting area of ​​sweet potatoes will inevitably crowd out the stock of staple food.

Public rations were deducted from the brigade, as well as seeds and feed. On average, each member of the commune only had more than 100 kilograms of food.

Although it is not much, looking at the whole country, this is already a relatively bumper harvest.The situation in other areas is even more dire.After all, the land here is incredibly barren, and the yield per mu in some places in Guanli is only a few dozen kilograms. But considering how low the total grain output is, the rations farmers can get are even pitiful.The Shen family received more than 2000 kilograms of staple food and nearly 4000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.I’m talking about staple food, but it’s mainly sorghum and corn. Most of the rice is handed over to the public grain. Usually, a small amount of rice is left at home and used to be exchanged for money or coarse grains in previous years.

Shen Ruoqing went to the black market again. This time she spent 500 yuan on a human skin mask and another 100 yuan on voice-changing pills.He went directly to Brother Biao and traded another [-] kilograms of grain.

Shen Ruoqing originally thought that the price of food would fall as new grains arrived, but he did not expect that the price of food would rise instead of falling.

It turns out that because the government pays a lot of grain, the farmers have no surplus grain in their hands. The little grain is not enough to eat themselves, so how can they be willing to sell it?With fewer people selling grain, the price of grain has naturally risen again.

But if Shen Ruoqing sells these [-] kilograms of grain, the price of grain on the black market will definitely drop a lot.

Brother Biao is not afraid that Shen Ruoqing will produce a lot of food. He also has a way in the provincial capital.Shen Ruoqing's food is so good that everyone who has eaten it is full of praise.With such a sum, Shen Ruoqing earned more than 2 yuan.

2 yuan can be used to upgrade the space.

After the upgrade, the space is five times larger, and there are also fields that can be cultivated.Fields in space can accelerate the growth of crops, but now they can only grow at twice the speed. If they continue to be upgraded in the future, they will continue to grow faster.

Next to the field, there is a spring water that can be used to irrigate the land. Although it is not a spiritual spring water, it is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.The next space upgrade will cost 4 yuan, and it will be upgraded to first-class spiritual spring water by then.

After the space was upgraded, Shen Ruoqing immediately bought a lot of seeds and planted them.Half of the crops were planted, and the other half was bought and planted with medicinal seeds.She also bought ginseng seeds, but she didn’t know if they could be planted.

One good thing about space is that you can farm with your thoughts, but this consumes a lot of mental energy.It took her three days to plant all the seeds.

With space and support, Shen Ruoqing wanted to take a walk deep into the mountains that he had been fascinated by for a long time.If something goes wrong, she can hide in the space. There must be something good deep in the mountains.

Shen Ruoqing carried a bamboo basket on his back and headed deep into the mountains.

The name of this mountain is Daqingshan. During difficult times, I don’t know how many villagers were saved.However, I heard that there were tigers in the depths of Daqing Mountain, so everyone was active on the outskirts of Daqing Mountain. For example, before Shen Ruoqing ran out of space, he picked some medicinal materials and wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and never went deep into it.

Shen Ruoqing turned on the detection function.

This time she specifically selected precious medicinal materials for detection.

"Dip - Fritillary fritillary was discovered."

"Drip - found blood drain."

Not long after it went deep, the detection function started to react.

Shen Ruoqing was very happy to take all these precious medicinal materials into his own space!
“Dip—discovered ginseng.”

Good guy, Daqingshan really has ginseng!

Shen Ruoqing quickly ran to the ginseng and carefully identified it.Among the weeds, it is really difficult to find this ginseng without looking carefully.If it hadn't been for the detection function, she really wouldn't have been able to find this ginseng.

Great, transplanted to space!
