Yipin farm, excellent husband

Chapter 25 Doubt

When An Yue lived with Xu Susu before, she learned that compared with the previous generation, agriculture in this era is more like that before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, except that the crops are not very perfect, and the farming tools are not innovative, such as farming tools It's still a straight shaft plow, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Although she can't make modern machinery now, it shouldn't be difficult to make a curved shaft plow, right?
Moreover, An Yue originally thought that outside the ocean of this world, there were foreign devils just like in her previous life, but unexpectedly, it was the opposite. The same bloodline, only divided due to the war.

In this way, An Yue felt that the world was more intimate, as if she was in a world full of Chinese people. Although it was a bit unrealistic, it was extremely practical.And all the knowledge she has learned in the book can be used to her heart's content, without worrying about not fitting in with this world.

"Susu, since girl Yue has already bought it, you want to open some. Let her study it by herself. I want to see how delicious the 'potato' she mentioned is!" Mr. Xu heard this. Curious about the strange name of "Potato", he said it for An Gouyue.

An Yue's heart warmed, and she smiled embarrassedly, "Grandpa, I actually have something to trouble you..."

The old man raised his beard slightly, and said: "Yue girl, don't worry about it! Didn't you say that you are my granddaughter? Why are my family members so polite!"

Xu Susu sighed, seeing the old and the young couldn't get in their mouths, and the potatoes in front of her made her feel flustered, but her grandfather supported her and she didn't have anything to say, so she turned around and sat Turned aside, carefully counting the number of potatoes.

"Although I bought these potatoes, I don't have a place to grow them." An Yue blushed slightly. Naturally, buying the land cost money. Although she earned the wild boar's money, the Xu family treated her like a family. Similarly, if she wants to do something, she still has to ask Mr. Xu to agree.

The old man pondered for a moment. The fertile land in this household was allocated by the older generation and passed down from generation to generation. Although it is easy to buy land from the government, once you buy the land, you have to pay taxes every year according to the size of the fertile land. There are only two males in the Xu family now, and he is getting older. Most of the work in this field is taken care of by Tie Zhu. When it comes time to harvest, they are usually too busy. If... there are more fertile fields , wanting to rely on Yueyatou's small body to take care of her, how can she bear it?
"Yue girl, let me see this. Isn't there an open space next to your new house? If you want to plant this kind of 'beans', you can use that one first. On the contrary, it is counted together with your house, although it is not big. , but I thought growing these 'beans' would be enough."

"Grandpa, if I want to buy an acre of land, how much will it cost?" Although there is a lot of open space on the side of the new house, she can't just rely on these potatoes in the future, and there will always be a time to buy a field.

Mr. Xu frowned, wondering if this girl was thinking too much. Although she made a lot of money from that wild boar today, she still relied on luck. Would she be able to meet a wild boar every day in the future?
"Yue girl, I advise you not to think about it. There are a lot of abandoned fields in Nankou Village, but they also cost money. Don't look at the farms in this family. They are very glamorous, but they are all saved by ancestors. If there were wars before that In the past, as long as you were willing to ask for this land, the government would distribute it directly from house to house without saying a word, but now it’s no longer possible, in a peaceful and prosperous age, the management of the land is also strict, and one mu of good land will cost more than a dozen Two silver coins..."

More than ten taels?An Yue did the math, relatively speaking, this field is not expensive.Although it is a little tight now, I will definitely be able to afford it in the future!
"Grandpa, don't worry about it. I don't think about buying it now. I'll wait until I have saved enough money to build the bridge." An Yue said in a soft voice, circling her hands non-stop. The money she needs now There are quite a few, such as building bridges, buying a house, buying fields...everything is a lot of money!

"That's good, I'm afraid you have a big heart and won't be able to keep money!" Old Master Xu chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.

An Yue didn't talk too much, she chatted with Xu Susu and got busy with her own work.

It was getting late, but she had to go to the mountains tomorrow, so she turned over the open space next to the new house overnight. Although this open space is a bit remote, it is more suitable for planting potatoes than other places, because potatoes prefer low temperature environments, and The house is right next to the mountain, and the sunlight is not strong, and the temperature and humidity are better than other places. What makes her even more satisfied is that the soil in this field is loose and breathable, and the potatoes do not grow after they are planted. Strange!
However, planting this potato is also a bit troublesome. It is necessary to cut out the germinated buds for planting, so this good piece of potato was cut into eight pieces by her. Xu Susu was a little interested in watching it, but in the end, she just thought that An Gouyue was taking it. Playing around with the potatoes, he simply dragged Mr. Xu to pat his ass and leave.

An Yue didn't explain, everything would take time to prove, the potatoes would take at least three months to ripen, she just had to wait for that moment to come.

Ever since she borrowed the ox cart, An Yue took her prey to Yancheng every other day. The neighbors were not willing to lend her own ox cart at first, but when she thought of the large pieces of game that Tie Zhu brought every time, she felt sad. I also had fun, you know, who in this village can eat meat every day?In addition, almost all the fodder for the cattle was taken up by Zhang Tiezhu, and now the cattle are not needed to plow the fields, and they can earn a lot of meat money by renting them out!
In early summer, An Yue would still kill some big animals, but in midsummer, the food preservation time is too short, and the taste will be greatly reduced when marinated with salt, and the salt is also very expensive, to cope with so much meat, It also costs a lot of money, so she simply doesn't go to the deep mountains every time, just catches more live wild rabbits and pheasants on the outskirts. In more than three months, she can still meet them occasionally. Two roe deer or deer, the income is not less than that of the wild boar, especially the things that An Yue catches are often live animals, and there are no scars on their bodies. That summer, Liu Guanshi was worried about the quality of the goods. Worrying, so every time I saw the things An Yue sent, I would be greatly surprised and give a high price.

After going back and forth, An Yue also saved a lot of money, counting it to three hundred and seventy-eight taels!However, one-third of the money was spent on buying the miscarriage medicine alone.

An Yue always felt that the baby in her stomach was very quiet and obedient, and she would feel nauseated and retched unless she encountered some very bloody or disgusting scenes. Illusion!
It may also be due to too unusual reasons. Every time I go to see the doctor in Yancheng, I always see the doctor frowning and twisting into a certain shape. He always says that the child seems to have no heartbeat, but it usually takes half an hour. She also felt that the fetus was still alive, which made her get used to the doctor's reaction after she was worried, and she looked forward to her baby!
