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

Chapter 121 Endless farm work
The farm work is endless.

Farmers in the countryside get up before dawn to do farm work.The sun has set. When I go home from the fields, I have to do farm work at home.

Breaking the soybeans, soaking the soybeans, grinding the soybeans... I was tired every day, the workload was heavy, and halfway through, Chen Feiyan just wanted to sleep.

Being a farmer is tiring!
Especially farmers in ancient villages.

The hard and tiring life in the countryside is simply not a human life.

While Chen Feiyan was doing farm work at this time, she was envious of the good mentality of those people who wanted to travel to ancient times and live a farm life.

Now if she doesn't work for a day, food and clothing for the next meal will be a problem.There is no guarantee of survival, and her wish to be ruined is all delusion.

Recently, she has become addicted to mobile phones.

In the past, her only hobby was playing with her mobile phone.Play every day.Play during the day, play at night, play whenever you have nothing to do.

Reading novels, watching videos, listening to music, in her opinion, playing on mobile phones is the most economical and most comfortable.Going out to play is tiring and expensive.She didn't want to find fault for herself.

If she could wear it again, she promised that she would cherish her free days.

I will no longer dislike the fact that I earn less money, and my life is just average.

After a long period of work, Chen Feiyan's hands had a thick layer of calluses.

Last night when she washed Chen Yixuan's face and wiped his hands, she found that his hands were rougher than her own.

His hands were like a pair of thick bark.

Looking at his weathered face, Chen Feiyan was extremely worried at that time.

His birthday is on the sixth day of May.It was the end of March last year when she just traveled through time.He was 22 years old at that time.On the sixth day of May, he celebrated his 23rd birthday, and she didn't prepare any birthday gifts for him.

A year has passed and it is almost the sixth day of May.

After the sixth day of May, he will be 24 years old.

If the 24-year-old were placed in modern society, he would most likely be a male college student who had just graduated from college.

However, in this ancient time, he had been working hard for a long time, but he was already a middle-aged man with six children.

Chen Feiyan once read a census about the Republic of China era.It is said that during the Republic of China, the average life expectancy was only 35 years.

Even though there was a reason for the war, Chen Feiyan felt that during the feudal society with underdeveloped productivity, people at the bottom lived too hard.

The children of the poor are in charge early.

Chen Feiyan saw that her children were all very sensible.There's never any fuss.He also helps her with things every day.

Clean up the goose and duck droppings at home and water the vegetables grown in the yard.

Knowing that she disliked the smell of dry toilets, brothers from time to time carried water back from the river to flush the dry toilets at home.

They also help with making tofu.

Each of the children is obviously not yet an adult, but they have already taken on the responsibility of the family.

She was obviously doing various farm work in the fields with their father, but when they got home, they seemed to be afraid that she would be tired and snatch things from her hands to do.

Today, Chen Feiyan, along with her sister-in-law Wang Yingying, her fourth and fifth children, and her daughter Chen Jiaxin, made two boards of tofu.

The weather is getting warmer.

This fresh tofu can be kept at room temperature for up to three days.After three days, if you don't eat the tofu, it will become sour.

Fortunately, Chen Feiyan has a large family.

Two plates of tofu weigh one hundred pounds, and her family can finish it in two days.

... Chenyuan came to the door the next morning with her man and her parents-in-law.

"Shuanzi's wife, we are here!"

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.When Chen Feiyan saw these people talking with smiles, she politely invited Chen Yuan's family in.

Seeing Chen Yuan holding a little baby in her arms, Chen Feiyan moved forward curiously. "Is this little girl asleep?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "She's asleep. This child is easy to coax. She sleeps when she's full and eats when she wakes up. She doesn't howl very much. Her father takes her with her every day, so it saves a lot of trouble."

As she spoke, she looked at the man next to her with a smile.

When Chen Feiyan saw that the man next to her seemed to be her husband Chen Deli, she subconsciously looked at him.

This man looks a bit older, but not as old as his father and brother behind him.

This man is very dark, tall and thin.Like most people in the village, his clothes were full of pudding and scraps of cloth that could no longer be sewn.In general, their family behaves like refugees.

Knowing that his family was really not rich, Chen Feiyan knew it.

His family will definitely continue to do their best to sell tofu products.

"Daughter-in-law Shuanzi, the reason why we are here this time is to discuss with you the specific regulations for doing business."

"We have no money in our pockets now, so we want to borrow dozens of kilograms of dried tofu from you and sell it in the county. When we get enough money from the sale, we will give the money to you."

Seeing Chen Dazhu say this, Chen Feiyan glanced at Chen Yixuan beside him.

Chen Yixuan nodded, then came forward and said to Chen Dazhu: "Uncle Dazhu, my wife and your daughter-in-law have already discussed this matter."

"We will follow what they discussed."

"Our family now has thirty kilograms of dried tofu and two hundred kilograms of fresh tofu cubes. If my three kilograms of tofu were exchanged for one kilogram of soybeans, our family would not only do it for nothing, but they would also have to pour it in. So my wife made an arrangement with your wife. What's more, two pounds of tofu are exchanged for one pound of soybeans. As for dried tofu, it costs four cents per pound."

Chen Dazhu knew that it was the first time for his family to do business in partnership with his family, so he couldn't care about it, so he nodded in agreement.

Two brothers, Chen Dezhi and Chen Deli, received [-] kilograms of dried tofu and [-] kilograms of fresh tofu from Chen Yixuan. After a few polite words, they carried the burden and planned to go to surrounding villages to sell it first before rushing back. Went to the county town to sell tofu.

The two brothers had a great time hawking along the street.

After a while, they were sweating profusely.

Worried that the burden on his shoulders would wear out the clothes on his shoulders, his brother Chen Deli deliberately took off half of his clothes, tied the sleeves around his waist, and continued to carry the load.

He first went to Majiazhuang.Several families were willing to trade soybeans or old wheat for several years for tofu, and he nodded in agreement.

Chen Dezhi was not as diligent as him, and he was too lazy to wander around the villages. He just picked up the fifteen kilograms of dried tofu and the one hundred kilograms of fresh tofu that he and his brother shared, and went directly to the county seat.

The two brothers worked from early morning to dark, and did not get home until late at night.

Seeing them coming back, Chen Dazhu and his wife asked anxiously: "Have you made any money today?"

"How much have you earned?"

Chen Yuan on the side was still awake at the moment and handed them both a large bowl of battered wheat paste.

Seeing that they were so hungry that they finished the drink in one breath, she said slowly: "Is your day going well? Did you encounter anything?"

Chen Deli shook his head and said: "Today is okay. I mainly traveled to some villages. People in those villages couldn't afford the money, so they had to barter with me. I exchanged a total of thirty kilograms today. of food, and a few rags that can be used to sew clothes for the children.”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan suddenly became interested, "Let me take a look!"

When Chen Dazhu saw that his daughter-in-law only cared about his youngest son, he couldn't help but cough a few times.

She winked at her eldest son, Chen Dezhi, and told him to show off more quickly in front of his daughter-in-law.
