Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 16 The First Trial of Farming
(Thank you Blue Army 1804, Heavy Rain, Ye Jing for the flowers and encouragement, especially Ye Jing who actually voted four recommendation votes for red wine. In fact, I haven’t figured out what these votes are, but I know it must be Good stuff. So, in order to repay the support of my friends, I updated two chapters today, I wish you all a happy!!!) Mu Ai took this ancient version of the household registration book, and read it upside down several times anyway , I didn’t see a watermark or anti-counterfeiting code, it’s really just a few lines of words plus a red seal.If it is in modern times, it is too easy to make a fake according to the appearance.However, the meaning of the above words and sentences is concise and easy to understand, and there are no major loopholes, but the old lady probably didn't make it clear at the time, and she often called herself Xianxian, so when Village Chief Lian Fu recorded his name, he gave a name. Muxian's.That's not bad, anyway, no one knows her in this time and space, and her name is just a code name.

The old lady was illiterate, but she picked it up and looked at it with great interest, and finally told her to put away the wood ai after thousands of reminders.The grandparents and grandchildren began to discuss the arrangement of wine again.Mu Ai is not familiar with the elders in the village, so it is up to the old lady to worry about which ones to invite and how to invite them. She is only responsible for collecting the money and researching the banquet dishes.

Not to mention the two of them discussing the treat, just that Grandma Li returned home with the silver in her pocket, called her eldest son to her and the old man's room, happily took out the ingot of silver, and showed it to her son.

Lian Fu picked it up in surprise, and examined it carefully under the lamp, "Mother, where did you get the silver ingot, and the condition is so good."

The old lady poured a cup of tea for both herself and the old man, and said, "I'll go to your fourth aunt to deliver the household registration. Who do you think can give it to me?"

"How can the fourth aunt be so generous?" Even Fu has been the village head for seven or eight years. He knows how the family in the village is doing. This fourth aunt's family, since the fourth uncle died of illness a few years ago, Shuan Shuan her Father went to work as a soldier again, and she was the only one in the family who lived with Shuan Shuan. It would be nice to have enough food every year. How could there be so much money?
The old lady took a sip of tea slowly, and when the old man looked over impatiently, and had whetted the father and son's appetite enough, she said with a smile, "It's not your fourth aunt's money, it's her goddamn granddaughter's money." It is said that her family left some money for her before the disaster, which is enough for her to live alone. Listen to me, you found acquaintances through favors, and then you successfully registered for her, so you took some more money to do it. Thank you.

"It took less than two taels of silver to do the work. These are five taels. Even if we are grateful to us for our dedication, it is still too much. There is no other meaning?" , but most of them are mountain products such as pheasants and mushrooms.The wine and cloth that the fourth aunt came to get last time were all very good, so he found someone, and after a lot of effort, the household registration was completed so quickly.Unexpectedly, after this was done, he would get twice as much money. He, who is naturally cautious, felt uneasy.

The old lady smiled and said to the old man, "Our family is even rich. After being the village head for a few years, he is really good." After she finished speaking, she turned to look at her son, "Okay, don't worry, it's not a big deal, you four Didn’t my aunt mention it last time that the fairy wants to build a house on the land next to her house. I mentioned her just now and invited the elders in the village to have a drink before I talked about it. You can't decide on the house alone."

Lian Fu turned his head to look at his old man, and saw that he was still drinking tea slowly without any objection, so he knew that there should be nothing wrong with this matter.Think about it carefully, as long as the fourth aunt comes out to treat guests, the etiquette is very considerate, regardless of the land in the village, even if you spend money to buy a place to stay, if you want to come, the elders of the clan will not stop you, and then you will help beat the side drums. This can be done.

"By the way, your fourth aunt said that Xianxian came from the south and brought some rare seeds. She said that they were real seeds, and they could be sold as snacks in the city. However, I don't think it's reliable. Let’s not talk about whether we can sell it in the city. It’s already July at this time, and nothing can grow. I don’t know if the child Xianxian has a clever mind, or he just doesn’t know how to hide things, so he asked me to ask. Is there anyone in the village who is willing to follow suit?" The old lady suddenly remembered about the seeds, and casually talked to the old man and son.

Lian Fu was sure that the five taels of silver could be collected with peace of mind, and was thinking about adding the dozens of taels saved in the past two years, whether to discuss with his parents about renovating the house after the autumn harvest, so he didn't take her mother's words seriously. He replied casually, "She is also from the south. She doesn't understand the four seasons here. She thought that it doesn't snow in winter like the south. It's too late to plant anything now. Mother, you two should rest, and I will go to bed too." gone."

The old lady turned around and saw that the old man was also disinterested, so she put out the idea of ​​planting something in her heart.After laying out the quilt, he waited for him to go to bed and went to sleep.

It is said that Mu Ai took the money, and the old lady went to the houses that needed to be invited one by one. She said that she was her god-granddaughter Xianxian, and now she is also a female householder in the village, so she wanted to set up a banquet and invite the people in the village to be respected and respected. Elders, have a glass of wine and greet the elders.

The old people in these villages are all around 60 years old, and they seldom work in the fields on weekdays, but they all say that they are mature and have more experience than young people.Occasionally, when something important happens in the village, the village head will ask them to discuss it together.On New Year's Day, they also preside over the opening of the ancestral hall and lead the younger generations to worship their ancestors.During this period of time, they also heard about muai from their wives and daughters-in-law, and now they have established female households, even if they don't invite them to drink, they can't stop them.However, she is so sensible and polite, and she wants to greet the elders solemnly, which is to respect the elders.Immediately, the clan elders all nodded and praised a few words, and agreed to have a drink at that time.

The old lady invited people, and on the second day, she entrusted two young people from the village who often went to the city to buy things for the wine, and asked the young daughters-in-law in the village to come to help in the next day. She was very busy for a while. Hitting the back of the head with the foot, turning around all over the ground.

Mu Ai wanted to help, but she really couldn't intervene, so she had no choice but to tell the old lady not to be too tired, and not to save her money, but to find someone to help her if she could, and just send some fabrics and other gifts in return later, the old lady The wife didn't listen, and waved her out.She simply took a pickaxe and led Shuan Shuan, intending to open a new piece of land outside the wooden fence of the vegetable garden as her small experimental field.

In fact, Muai lived in the countryside with her grandparents before she was a teenager. I only have a general impression of how to plant sunflower seeds and sweet potatoes, and I have never done it myself.

This time, although I put in a lot of effort and planed for two days, I only managed to get less than half an acre of land.She began to regret in her heart. If she had known that she would travel through time, she should have studied at the Agricultural University.What kind of art department is it? It's almost useless.In such a small area, it is barely enough to grow sunflower seeds and sweet potatoes, but it is too crowded to grow ginger and garlic.As a result, on the third day, when I got up early and came back to work, a miracle happened. The ground was doubled in width, and the clods were smashed to pieces, making it very smooth.Shuan Shuan has helped with some small jobs such as weeding these two days. Although he has delicious food as a reward, he is too tired to let himself go. Excited to be liberated.Mu Ai squatted on the ground, guessed for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who did the good deed, anyway, it couldn't be the wild boar on the mountain or the snail girl.

Mu Ai has always been open-minded. When encountering confusing things, she can't figure it out and throws it aside. There will always be a day when the truth will come to light.Of course, according to her friend Ye Zi, she is not open-minded, she is just passing by and avoiding problems.She did not refute, if not for this open-minded heart, she would have drowned in the quagmire of resentment.

Lower your head and use a pickaxe to carefully smash a few large clods that slipped through the net, and then slowly hook them into ridges.Divide half of the area, shovel a hole every [-] centimeters on the ridge, and Shuan Shuan followed behind her with a smile and threw two or three sunflower seeds produced by Space into it. Step up.

After all this work is over, and the sun is noon, I go home and have a casual meal, and then go to the field to continue planting sweet potatoes.Shuan Shuan is curious, always asking what do these seeds look like when they grow up, and what delicious food can they make?Mu Ai originally wanted to dry out some spiced melon seeds and red sweet potatoes for her to taste, but she was afraid that she would have the habit of sharing delicious food with her friends, so she could only coax her to say that after a few days The month will know.After all, the solar terms are late, so she must use the spiritual spring in the space to speed up the germination and growth.If people in the village really know that these are two kinds of delicious food, and they all come to ask for seeds, does she really want to water each house next to each other?
