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

Because I was thinking about getting rich, when I dreamed at night, I dreamed about making money by selling chickens and ducks.

"I don't know if anyone grows chili peppers here. If someone grows chili peppers, our family's life will be improved again."

Chen Feiyan really wanted to eat chili peppers now. The weather in the north was very cold, and she felt that the moisture in her body was particularly heavy.

If she could eat some chili peppers, especially the red chili peppers she used to like, she could make Malatang at home every day.

The lower-class farmers in ancient times had problems eating, let alone eating delicious food.

People at the bottom are not entitled to enjoy it.

However, Chen Feiyan now feels that her family has some conditions, and she should still think about how to improve her living standard.

If you make spicy hot pot at home, you can sell it to restaurants in the county.

When Aunt Sun heard that Chen Feiyan wanted to eat chili peppers, she couldn't help it and rolled her eyes.

She had heard about chili peppers from her brothers.

Red dried chili peppers are very expensive.

Because red dried chili peppers are all stored in pharmacies.

It has long become a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.

After Aunt Sun told Chen Feiyan this information, Chen Feiyan really became interested.

"If only we could get the seeds of the peppers."

"When the time comes, we will plant an acre of peppers."

"If we have chili peppers at home, we can make chili fried pork and spicy hotpot... Anyway, in my eyes, chili peppers are really delicious."

After saying that, Chen Feiyan vividly described her previous state of eating spicy hotpot.

"Seriously, the spicy hotpot is so delicious."

"Besides, I also like the spicy ones."

Aunt Sun heard Chen Feiyan talk about this kind of delicacy and that kind of delicacy, and her mouth instinctively secreted saliva.

She was really greedy.

She used to eat moldy rice at home, and a lot of water was added to the rice to make it into a very thin soup.

After drinking a bowl, I feel nothing at all.

But after marrying here, she felt like she was living a fairy-like life every day.

She didn't understand why her mother-in-law was so troubled. Every dish she makes is delicious.

Now, she can clearly feel that the spicy hotpot her mother-in-law said will taste better.

So Aunt Sun immediately raised her hand.

"Mother-in-law, I'd better go back to my parents' house tomorrow! I'll ask my uncle, my parents, and my brothers to find out where to buy chili seeds."

"If we get that thing, we should be able to grow peppers in the ground next year!"

After talking about peppers, Aunt Sun took the initiative and asked: "Mother-in-law, do we want to buy more other things at home in the future, such as bitter melon?"

Chen Feiyan nodded when she heard this.

"Okay, we will also plant some bitter melon then. I heard that eating too much bitter melon can lower blood pressure..."

Although they are poor people at the bottom who cannot eat anything good all year round, they are skinny and malnourished, and their blood pressure is generally low but not high, so there is no problem. However, Chen Feiyan feels that bitter melon can also be pickled.

……

Time flies so fast, and soon more than half of the Spring Festival has passed. However, as soon as the weather cleared up, it started to snow heavily outside.

Moreover, the snow beads falling from the sky were just like the glutinous rice balls that Chen Feiyan had eaten before, so big and round.

"We eat Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. God actually sent such a big Yuanxiao for us to eat..."

When Chen Yixuan heard his wife say such words, he couldn't help laughing.

"Actually, it's nice to have snow on this day."

"If the snow falls heavily, the insects in the ground will be easily frozen to death. When we sow seeds in spring, the insects in the ground will not come out and harm our crops."

When it comes to crop diseases and insect pests, Chen Yixuan also gets a headache.

In ancient times, there was no insect repellent.

Can only rely on biological means.

For example, there are frogs and toads in the ground and sparrows flying in the sky.

When Chen Feiyan heard about the pests and diseases, she smiled and suggested.

"My dad, that's why I told you before that our family raises dozens of kilograms of chickens, ducks and geese. When our crops grow to a certain height, we will put all the chickens, ducks and geese in our fields. Let them catch insects and eat them by themselves. In this way, we can save some food for feeding chickens, ducks and geese, and we can help eliminate pests and diseases in the fields. This is a great thing that kills two birds with one stone, why didn't you think of it before?"

When Chen Yixuan heard this, he was unhappy.

"These chickens, ducks, geese, etc., they also eat grass!"

"Especially the geese at home..."

"Daughter-in-law, what is going on in the fields this spring? Let's talk about it then! Anyway, I will pay more attention to it this year."

"What I am most worried about right now is the locust plague that is very likely to happen in the future."

"When my grandfather was still alive, he told me that when he was in his twenties, he witnessed a once-in-a-thousand-year locust plague."

"At that time, my great-grandfather was still alive."

"Just because there is such a pillar of support in the family, grandpa and his brothers will not starve to death in those particularly difficult years."

"But the ordinary people at the bottom, when faced with the locust plague years, every one of them was so heartbroken that they cried for the food in their own fields!"

When Chen Feiyan heard such a story for the first time, she felt numb all over.

"Dad, why do we, low-level farmers, always look at the sky to eat?"

"God will ensure that the weather is smooth, so that ordinary people like us can have enough food and clothing to survive."

"If Grandpa Tian cannot ensure smooth weather, most of us ordinary people will starve to death and freeze to death."

Chen Yixuan sighed and nodded again.

"There's nothing we can do about it!"

"Who said that we farmers have been the most miserable and pitiful people since ancient times?"

"As long as we farm in the fields for one day, we farmers have to live a hard life. Farming is not easy, not easy at all. It is not like those poets wrote, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely See Nanshan, so leisurely and comfortable."

"Farmers just face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. They only have to hoe the crops at noon, and the sweat drips into the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard and helpless."

"..." Chen Feiyan saw that the man in front of her, who had obviously been admitted as a scholar, was still thinking about these things from the perspective of a farmer. She suddenly realized that the hard life of working in the fields in the past few decades had already changed. It left a deep mark on his heart and body.

If he were allowed to live a wealthy life for decades, he would probably be able to slowly erase the scars on his heart from the past.

"The child's father, as parents, we can only strive now so that our children don't have to live the hard life like we used to."
