How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 120 Everyone is thinking about how to make money
This kind of sorghum is actually still a subject of great learning.

First, choose the seeds.

Sowing cannot be too early, nor too late.Not too shallow, not too deep.The density of the remaining seedlings should be moderate, and attention should be paid to preventing and controlling aphids.

Through the experience of many times in a row, Chen Feiyan already knew that the depth of sowing sorghum was about three to five centimeters.The density of seedlings is about 25 cm.

Moreover, the seeds must be sun-dried before planting sorghum to increase the germination rate.

Chen Feiyan now wants to grow sorghum, and she has thought carefully about it.

Sorghum has a well-developed root system, strong ability to absorb water and fertilizer, and is resistant to drought and waterlogging, as well as salt-alkali and barren soil. Therefore, it is completely feasible to plant it in low-lying land prone to waterlogging or barren and drought-prone saline-alkali land.Yield is also very high.

Thinking that the growing period of sorghum only lasts from 100 to 120 days, Chen Feiyan started to count with her fingers when she could harvest the grain.

It's already early May.It will take more than three months, that is, the end of July and the beginning of August, before the family can harvest sorghum.

He even planted soybeans on the [-] acres of dry land that he rented.Wheat is grown on two acres of farmland.

There is just too much work to do at home.

Chen Feiyan collected several baskets of cucumbers, bitter gourd, water spinach, loofah, and cowpeas in front of and behind the house, and then went to cook again.

It is also a big project for two adult women and three children to cook for the family's hard laborers every day.

Cooking a meal for the whole family may not seem tiring, but it is actually very tiring.

Chen Feiyan had to tell the truth. Vegetables and the like were just a fool's errand.Those who do heavy physical work need real protein and high-energy oils.

Thinking that it was almost May and it was time to plant sesame seeds, Chen Feiyan couldn't help but ask her husband.

"Ms. sir, can our family grow a few acres of sesame seeds this year?"

"Growing sesame seeds? Do you want to eat sesame oil?"

Seeing that he understood her, Chen Feiyan nodded with a smile on her face.

"We grow one acre of sesame here, but now we can only harvest about 100 kilograms. According to previous experience, about three kilograms of sesame seeds can squeeze out one kilogram of sesame oil. If our family secretly grows three acres this year, we can harvest three kilograms. One hundred catties of sesame seeds. In other words, one hundred catties of oil can be squeezed out."

Knowing that one hundred kilograms of oil can be squeezed out by planting three acres, Chen Feiyan quickly asked: "How many acres of land are left in our family's reclaimed land that has not been planted with crops?"

Chen Yixuan counted on his fingers: "I dug ridges on the seven acres of land that was a little watery and planted ramie."

"The rest of the land that gets flooded when it rains and emerges when the sun comes out is ten acres. I planted sorghum. There are eight acres left for sesame seeds."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she quickly made up her mind.

Three acres of sesame land can produce about 200 kilograms of sesame oil.If you plant eight acres of land with sesame seeds, you will be able to harvest more than [-] kilograms!

Thinking that her family would have a lot of oil to eat in the future, Chen Feiyan urged Chen Yixuan: "Daddy, shall we plant sesame seeds this year? May is a good time to plant sesame seeds."

Although Chen Yixuan felt very tired, he nodded in agreement.

Life at home is not easy.

As the backbone of the family, if I don't do more, the family will definitely have a harder time in the future.

His wife is weak and the children are still young, so he must support the family.No matter how tired or painful he was, he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

Chen Feiyan also knew that it was not easy for him. After thinking about it, she quietly approached him and said mysteriously to him: "Ms. sir, let me tell you good news!"

"What good news?" Chen Yixuan asked in surprise.

Chen Feiyan whispered: "Sister Chenyuan, the daughter-in-law of Chen Deli next door, came to discuss something with me this year. She said that after her family had a daughter, the family expenses were high, so she gave her a man and his brother, Xunsi Got a good living."

"What kind of business?" Chen Yixuan asked subconsciously.

Chen Feiyan smiled: "Sister Chenyuan has already built two wheelbarrows for the two brothers. She wants them to go out and say they are going to be street vendors!"

Chen Yixuan frowned when he heard this.

After that, he said with a serious face: "Being a salesman is not a simple thing!"

"There are often kidnappers here. If we don't pay attention to our children, they will be kidnapped and sold by outsiders. If they are sold to dirty places like prostitutes and brothels in the county, we as parents can still There is something I want to find."

"If they are kidnapped by outsiders and sent directly to the hands of the beggar gang, they will engage in "raw harvesting" and gouge out the children's eyes alive, or directly cut off their hands and feet, or kill them If his tongue is cut...then we parents won’t be able to find it no matter how much we search outside!"

Chen Feiyan was a little confused when she heard this.

Didn't she just say that her neighbor's sister wanted the two brothers to work as salesmen? Why did her husband get involved in the beggar gang's "picking and harvesting"?

No matter how bold the brothers were, they would not dare to lure wolves into their house, lure people from the Beggar Clan, and send their family members to them without taking a penny. They would engage in such "harvesting and harvesting" and would rather be in the hands of others. A money-making machine, right?
When Chen Yixuan saw that his wife had not turned around for a while, he subconsciously sighed.

"Daughter-in-law, what I just meant is that outsiders like this salesman are the targets of every village. If you want to deal with people in the village, you must have a few guarantors. You must be recognized by the village chiefs of those villages. Trust and have a standing with the village chief, otherwise, they will kick you out before you even enter the village."

"...Yes, yes, Sister Chenyuan said the same thing before. So, she was planning to do business in partnership with our family."

When Chen Yixuan learned that there was still this important event, he became somewhat interested and asked, "What kind of business does she want to do with our family?"

Chen Feiyan smiled and said: "Let's sell tofu products together!"

"I also sell my pickled salted eggs and preserved eggs."

"That's what she said. Her family bought the goods from our family, and her husband and uncle took them to the county town to sell them. Her family couldn't make any money for the time being, so they decided to buy the goods from our family first and sell the money. Give it back to us."

"Moreover, she also hopes that our family can give her a cheap price..."

Chen Yixuan laughed when he heard this.

"What kind of partnership business is this? I can definitely carry the things I have at home and sell them in the county."

"Moreover, haven't the five-flavor restaurants in the county always charge two cents a pound for the pickles you make? This is a long-term business. If you do it well, you might be able to sell it for decades. In the hands of our grandchildren."

Chen Feiyan listened and smiled.

"Dad, I think selling dried tofu seeds, tofu skin and tofu curd is a viable business!"

"Our family can't sell all these things anyway. If someone helps us sell them, we can make more money. I think it's good."

Chen Yixuan saw that she had made up her mind a long time ago, so he could only follow her wishes and said: "Since you have made such a plan, then our family will listen to you."
