Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

There were more than [-] jins of pine nuts in total. Wen Xian took the whole thing and sold it to Zhu Qing for [-] jins, and kept the remaining fraction for her own consumption.

Forty coins per catty, three hundred catties of pine nuts were sold for a total of 1 coins, equivalent to 12 taels of silver.

12 taels of silver was another huge sum of money. Wen Xian was very happy and asked Zhu Qing if there was any vacant land nearby that could be rented to her.

"Wouldn't it be better to rent a field?" Zhu Qing reminded, "If you rent a field, plant vegetables first, and then you can plant rice in a few months. In this way, you don't have to buy polished rice in the second half of the year."

The cost of buying rice to eat is very high and unstable.

These are troubled times and troubled times.If you don't grow food yourself, if there are any special circumstances in the future, or during a famine, you may not be able to buy food even if you have money.

When that time comes, even those who have grown food will have a difficult time, let alone those who have not grown food, and it will only become even more difficult.

This is the truth, but Wen Xian does not intend to do so.

She smiled helplessly and said: "Master Qing, do you think we sisters can farm? Besides, we are not the natives here and may leave here at any time. In this case, farming is not suitable, so we can only farm." Some have a fast growth cycle.”

Wen Xian continued: "So, we want to rent a piece of land directly and use it to grow yams and taro. As for the extra land that is freed up, we can just grow some vegetables that we usually eat."

They can also ask people to help with farming, but there are not many fields suitable for growing rice on Sun Island, so she will not join in the fun.

Zhu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "That's okay. It just so happens that the two pieces of land behind this house belong to my family. If Dr. Wen likes it, he can rent these two pieces of land. It's close and easy to take care of."

His family no longer needs to rely on farming to make a living, so the two pieces of land behind the old house are temporarily vacant.

These two pieces of land are both semi-barren lands. There are many such lands on the island, so it is not surprising that they are vacant.

Wen Xian said in surprise: "It turns out that the land behind the house belongs to your family. That's just right. I am very satisfied with this land. It is suitable for growing yams and taro. However, I have an unkind request, and I hope Mr. Qing agrees."

Zhu Qing smiled and said, "Doctor Wen just said it doesn't matter."

Wen Xian said nonchalantly: "Since the land in the back belongs to Mr. Qing's family, I want to widen the wall of the yard to the back and enclose the two pieces of land in the back into the backyard. In this way, it will be easier for us to take care of it."

The house they live in now only has a front yard and no backyard, so it is not very spacious.

Just like when the medical clinic opened before, if there were more people, it would become very crowded.

Moreover, the medical clinic will be crowded with people in the future.They are all women, so it is inconvenient to dry clothes and have no privacy.

She paused and continued to explain: "Don't worry, Young Master Qing. After the circle is brought in, I will only need a small part to put some sundries and dry it. The rest will be used to grow yams and taro, or other grains, Vegetable crops.”

Zhu Qing was slightly surprised and then said: "The two pieces of land rented to Dr. Wen belong to Dr. Wen. It is up to Dr. Wen to decide what to do with them.

As for the fence, if Dr. Wen is willing to spend the money, that's fine. "

Wen Xian and the sisters were all women, so it was right to be cautious, and he didn't care.There are abandoned old houses and semi-wasteland on the left and right, so you can do whatever you want.

After Zhu Qing agreed, Wen Xian immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote the agreement.It didn't cost much to rent the land, only a hundred cash a year.

But to build the wall, you need to ask the villagers for help.

The two pieces of land behind the house combined only amount to about half an acre.But the wall must be built on three sides, which requires more effort.

Wen Xian also asked Zhu Qing to find someone to build the wall.She asked the villagers for help with a salary of [-] cents a day without food.

Twenty coins was not a small amount, and all the men at home in the village immediately took action and signed up to work for Zhu Qing.Zhu Qing did not choose all of them, but selected twenty honest and capable people among these people.Let’s hammer it first, and then get to work.

There were many people but little work, but in just three days, the backyard wall was built.

Wen Xian offered another day's wages and asked them to dig out the land in the backyard.

The total wages for four days were [-] taels, which was less than [-] taels.Wen Xian felt that the money was well spent, at least they didn't have to do it themselves.

During this period, several aunts came over to learn how to make fruit plates. Wen Xian took the tuition and took Bai Qiangwei and Zhou Hui to teach them.

Bai Qiangwei and Zhou Hui's bamboo weaving skills were passable before, and this simple fruit plate was even more handy.

As for the fruit plate that will be made up later, the aunts will go to Zhu Qing to sell it themselves.The prices are all the same, ten cents each.

The fence was built, the ground was plowed, and the bamboo fruit plate weaving lesson was successfully completed. Wen Xian began transplanting yams and taro into the ground.

There were not so many yam and taro seeds left, so Wen Xian divided the land in the backyard into a grid, with yam and taro each occupying one grid.

Then she transplanted several mulberry seedlings from the mountains and planted them in the third cell.

When transplanting mulberries, she also discovered mountain grape and pepper trees, and transplanted them together.

In the empty space between the trees, pumpkin seeds and loofah seeds exchanged with the grandmother next door were planted.

As for the fourth grid, some seasonings and vegetables she found were planted.

In addition to these four spaces, Wen Xian also left an open space of about [-] square meters near the wall for drying clothes and medicinal materials.

Wen Xian and her whole family worked together for three days before completely taking care of the entire backyard.

In the past three days, Aunt Zhu and Xue Xiaohua came to help.On the one hand, they did come to help, and on the other hand, they came to learn from Wen Xian how to grow yams and taro.

Yams and taro are foods that can really solve the problem of food and clothing. It is difficult for everyone else to come or not know about it, so Aunt Zhu, the wife of the village chief, can only come forward to learn from it.

Zhu Qing would come over to help from time to time, but he had many things to do and couldn't stay here all the time.

On the day of completion, Wen Xian held a thank you banquet and invited Xue Xiaohua and her daughter and Zhu Qing's family to come over for dinner.

Zhu Qing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and came to Wen Xian's house with Aunt Zhu early to help.As for Uncle Zhu, he can't come over until it's time for dinner.

But here, Xue Xiaohua, her father Xue Carpenter refused to come over no matter what.He said he didn't help and was embarrassed to be freeloading.

Wen Xian was helpless and helpless about this.If he doesn't come, she can't force him to come.

Xue Xiaohua followed Fang Jiaren as usual, practicing and learning cooking skills.

Aunt Zhu was curious and followed to help.

Even Zhu Qing, Fang Jia and Wen Xian were very interested in some cooking techniques.
