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

Chen Yixuan picked up the cloth and new clothes made by Chen Feiyan, and asked his sons to carry various mountain products and pickles to the county town to sell them.

Chen Yixuan came several times a month and returned to Mr. Zhang's house every time. The county officials also recognized him.

Seeing that he was tall and talented, they also found out that Chen Yixuan's ancestors were nobles in the capital, whether he was a father-in-law or an uncle. They saw Chen Yixuan one by one, and most of them greeted him warmly.

To be a yamen servant is to be able to read people's eyes.

You must also keep a balance in your heart.

Who has relatives, who has capable children, who has connections with the government, whose family can make money, who is a ruffian, who is a gangster, who is easy to bully, who is a tough guy,... …They all know it.

The government officials knew that they could not take advantage of Chen Yixuan, so they did not reach out.

Even if they saw Chen Yixuan walking around the streets looking for wealthy shops to sell the things he carried, they didn't find fault with him, let alone rip him off.

……

Chen Yixuan really didn't expect that someone would buy all the cloth and clothes he took out today.

The shopkeeper named "Ma's Buzhuang" is very grand. He wants all the linen he picked out today and the clothes his wife made herself.

At that time, he also asked the waiter in the store to try on several clothes.

He also asked him if he had such clothes and what they were called.

Chen Yixuan had no choice but to follow what his wife had taught him before and say it was a Chinese tunic suit. It is said that a gentleman named Zhongshan created it himself.

This dress is not difficult to cut. Wearing it on the body, it looks very energetic.

Although the shopkeeper thought his clothes were novel, he didn't say anything else.

After buying three kilograms of pickles from him, together with clothes and cloth, I gave him nearly three hundred cash.

After Chen Yixuan got the money, he immediately sold the remaining pickles to restaurants.

Seeing that he could buy a piglet with enough money, he hurried to the livestock market and bought a black sow.

In ancient rural areas, it was almost impossible to see fat pigs with white flowers.

The pigs that many people raise at home are black pigs.

This kind of pork is firm and delicious, with a very good taste. Because they are crossbred with wild boars, the fat on their bodies is not that thick.

After buying the piglet, Chen Yixuan hurried home.

Although the family does not have much food and only has less than a hundred kilograms left, as long as it can last for ten days and a half, his family is not in a hurry to buy it now.

The closer to the autumn harvest, the cheaper the food becomes.

Chen Feiyan now cooks three kilograms of sorghum a day.

Her brother and sister-in-law have a family of four, and she, her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and daughter have a family of nine.

In the morning, cook three kilograms of vegetables in one kilogram of grain, and then add half a pot of water.

What we eat at noon and evening is exactly the same as in the morning.

By cooking like this every day, although the family may not have enough to eat, at least they won't worry about starving to death.

Chen Yixuan never complained about this.

Because many people want to eat this kind of food now, but they don’t have the opportunity or the conditions.

After Chen Yixuan returned home with his sons, Chen Feiyan served them a bowl of thick porridge.

"Master, we should go harvest sorghum in a few days, right?"

"Recently, your brother and nephew have been patrolling our fields with our fourth and fifth sons every day. We have seen people sneaking into our fields to steal food!"

Chen Yixuan nodded while eating.

"Tomorrow, I will take my family to collect all the sorghum."

Knowing that it was time to harvest sorghum, the whole family felt happy. Very good.

When the sorghum is harvested, there will be food to eat.

I hope there will be no disasters this year and they want to have a good year!

With great expectations, their family barely slept that night. The next morning, when it was still dark and the dew outside was quite heavy, they went out.

When they reached their sorghum fields, they began to harvest with sickles.

Planting crops is hard, and harvesting crops is also hard.

Bending down for a while, standing up for a while, bending down for a while, standing up for a while... over and over again.

After working all morning, everyone felt that their backs ached and their legs were cramped.

And the weather is so hot now. Standing in this tall sorghum field is like standing in a steamer.

All the people doing farm work were sweating layer after layer, drying and getting wet, getting wet and drying again.

It’s really tiring and hard.

However, no one in Chen Yixuan's family said he was tired at this moment.

During the long-term hard work, they have long realized that no farm work is not hard.

There is no one alive who does not work hard.

They are all people who have endured hardship. How can they say they are tired?

Chen Feiyan had already prepared lunch. She waited for the man at home to eat the thick porridge she had made.

Chen Yixuan's family's stomachs were already growling with hunger.

He discussed it with his son, his brother and his nephew, and formed a group of three.

Take turns carrying the cut sorghum back.

After returning home, they ate quickly at home and came back after eating.

So, each of them carried nearly three hundred kilograms of things and carried them back bit by bit.

When Wang Yingying saw how tired and hard they were working, she frowned and said distressedly: "If I had known we would be so busy today, we shouldn't have given that old donkey back. !”

Wang Yingying is still thinking about the donkey that Chen Yixuan borrowed from Lao Zhang's house.

Chen Feiyan actually felt in her heart that if she kept such a donkey, it would be much easier to do things, and the life of the whole family would be much easier.

So, she made up her mind to raise these pigs this year. When the sows give birth to piglets next year, she will sell the piglets and replace them with a donkey.

……

The busy farming season consumes people's efforts and energy.

Everyone knows that although the weather this year is not great, the sorghum is growing quite well, and the grain supply is not much less than in the past. Those who did not follow others' advice to plant sorghum in the fields regretted it.

Those who listened to others' suggestions and planted a lot of sorghum felt that this was not true during this period, and they were all beaming with joy.

A good harvest of food means survival in the coming year.

The ordinary people living at the bottom of society only know that they live just to live.

The meaning of living is just to live.

As long as they can ensure their own survival, let them do whatever they want.

There is food at home, and there are several thousand kilograms of food. Village head Chen Qiliang has been feeling happy in recent days.

The smile on his face keeps coming.

Even if he knew that another person in the village was dying of starvation and illness, he would sigh with raised lips: "There is no way, this is their fate! When their fate is up, they will not survive..."
