Rebirth farming and raising buns

Chapter 150 Difficulties
Seeing Lin Shuang come back, Zhao Jin's face finally relaxed.

Originally worried that Lin Shuang was unwell, she told her to come back early in the morning, but it was already past time, and Lin Shuang still hadn't come back, so Zhao Jin asked Zhuifeng to wait at the door, and let him go if Lin Shuang didn't come back again. Look in the field.

Fortunately, not long after Zhuifeng left, Lin Shuang came back with the carriage. Although he was sweating profusely, he was not as sleepy as in the morning.

But now Zhao Jin saw Lin Shuang came to see her as soon as she came back, her face was relieved and her heart softened at the same time: "Shuangniang, why have you been out for so long? Are you tired?"

Looking at the fine beads of sweat on Lin Shuang's forehead, Zhao Jin felt a little distressed. No maid in his family had ever worked so hard.

But Lin Shuang not only has to take care of their daily meals every day, but also takes turns with Lu Cheng to shop and go to the field to supervise the work, which is really hard.

It's just that now he has injuries on his body, and he didn't dare to act rashly before he found out who was attacking him. He was really anxious but couldn't show it.

And because of the news that Lu Cheng heard when he came back last time, Zhao Jin was even more uncertain, but at least he knew that this person must be known to him, and he was also very powerful.

The reason why he didn't want to take the risk was because his injury hadn't healed yet, and he needed to find some more evidence.Then there is the worry that his rash investigation will cause unnecessary trouble for Lin Shuangniang and his wife.

"It's okay, it's just that Zijun wants to pick more precious fruits, and when we came back, we found fish jumping on the river bank, so we picked them up and cooked them later." Seeing that Zhao Jin was concerned about her, Lin Shuang smiled and replied.

"That's good. How is your body feeling better today? The weather has been unusually hot recently. It doesn't seem to be so hot at this time in the past."

Originally, Lin Shuang was still thinking about how to speak, but now that Zhao Jin mentioned it, Lin Shuang couldn't help saying: "Brother Jin, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"But it's okay to say." Because after several times of persistence, Lin Shuang finally changed his mind and called him Young Master Jin, so it was very comfortable to hear Lin Shuang call him that.

"You just said that the heat is abnormal recently, I also feel it, and today I saw that the water in the river is much shallower, otherwise, how could it be so easy to pick up fish, I am a little worried, it seems that it has been a long time It hasn't rained."

Although Lin Shuang only talked about her own feelings, she also brought her worries to the surface.

The Ninth Prince, Zhao Jin, is also a transparent person, but as soon as Lin Shuang said it, he thought of the key point.

Indeed, there has been very little snow since the winter, and now it is almost summer, and it seems that only two small rains have fallen, which is not a good sign.

I also heard Lin Shuang say that the water in this river is much shallower, and I feel a little anxious, but I have to inform my brother Zhao Ying about this matter. He can't trust others, but Lu Cheng and Zhuifeng can't get away for the time being. .

But before Zhao Jin continued to think about how to notify the emperor, Lin Shuang said again: "Brother Jin, I was thinking, no matter whether there will be a severe drought in the future, I want to prepare in advance, because those in the orchard Rare fruits are difficult to cultivate, and if there is a drought, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and what's more, the family may have to stockpile some food for emergencies."

Unexpectedly, Lin Shuang, a little peasant woman, had the idea of ​​planning for a rainy day, Zhao Jin nodded: "Is there anything I need to do?"

"That's not true, it's just that I thought of this to tell you today. In addition, I paid extra wages to let them build the orchard in a few days. After that, I want to work with Brother Lu to transplant the precious fruits in the orchard. So I'm afraid the family can only let Zhuifeng..."

Lin Shuang was a little embarrassed when she said this. It is indeed too much for her to make such a request after being injured like this, but time waits for no one. If this orchard is not kept this time, it will be more difficult to cultivate it in the future. .

Unexpectedly, it was just such a thing, Zhao Jin looked at Lin Shuang, did not expect that she was worried that he would have no one to take care of him, and was moved in her heart.

"Shuangniang, don't say that, I should have contributed to this matter, but now I'm dragging you down."

"Brother Jin, since you live here as a family, you don't have to blame yourself, and this injury is not what you want. But I will try my best to get things done with Brother Lu, but if there is a severe drought, I'm afraid the surrounding fruit forests will I can't keep it."

"It's okay. If something really happens, just protect the ones in the orchard and cultivate them slowly in the future."

"Then Lin Shuang would like to thank Brother Jin for his understanding."

"It's said to be a family, why are there so many etiquettes, but you have to work harder."

Lu Cheng was borrowed, because Zhao Jin's words also relieved Lin Shuang's heart a lot, and then discussed with Zhao Jin about the storage of food and water at home. Naturally, she struggled with these things alone.

Zhao Jin simply lent Zhuifeng to Lin Shuang. Although he is still in pain recently, his body is not so weak. Although he can't move his hands yet, he can get off the kang and walk around.

In this way, Zhao Jin asked Lin Shuang only to keep Xiao Zijun at home, so that he could help take Xiao Zijun, and Xiao Zijun could also help him pass water.

It's just that Lin Shuang needs to prepare the meal in advance, so that Zhao Jin and Xiao Zijun can eat it hot at noon.

Lin Shuang was naturally overjoyed to have two more people to help. Although she felt that Zhao Jin was being treated badly, Lin Shuang still did not refuse.

Because she came back and recalled the drought in her last life with her fingers, it didn't seem too far away.

When some people began to notice this situation and hoarded food consciously, the price of food at that time had become sky-high.

Later, Luling Village was also short of water. Lin Shuang remembered that she followed the people from Luling Village into the mountains to dig some edible things buried under the soil and came back. Liuwei hid it because even though he had heard about it a long time ago. There are many things, but they are not willing to share them with their sons.

Lin Shuang almost forgot about such a difficult thing in this life. Fortunately, she thought about it by chance today, but it made her feel that she was slowly accumulating now, and when the real drought came, she would definitely be able to survive it. The drought lasted only one year.

However, although it started to rain later, the land could not recover immediately after a year of drought, and it would take half a year and a few months to raise them. After thinking about it, I felt that we should stock up more.

He took out all the little money left at home, but when he really went to the street to buy rice, it was just enough to feed a few people for ten and a half months.

It was only now that Zhao Jin realized that Fang Hen Shao had money when he needed it. In the past, when he went out, his followers would hold the money for him. If he wanted to buy something, he just had to choose the right one.

And this time he escaped, all the money was carried by the attendants who followed him.

Now Lin Shuang is going to buy food, but he can't even make up the money for five buckets of rice.

Zou Chi and Zhui Feng also carried some with them before.

But with the money on Zouchi, he stayed on the road and healed the injuries of two people. The rest of Zhuifeng bought some paper money and bought a coffin for Zouchi and used it.

Now Zhuifeng still has some money on him, but he still needs to buy medicine, so Lu Cheng also took out his money, but Lu Cheng, who has been out for a long time, really doesn't have much money on him.

Lin Shuang also promised processing wages. This part of the money cannot be moved, so a few people worked together to get enough fifteen copper coins, and they can buy five stones of rice, but they can't just eat rice, and they have to save some In addition, Lin Shuang invested most of his money in the fruit forest before, so the few people were really clean.

It would be difficult to carry only these rice for a year, after all, it is not a small amount for several people to eat.

Because of her rebirth, Lin Shuang has never treated her badly, and she and Xiao Zijun have developed the habit of eating three meals a day, so they eat food and vegetables very quickly on weekdays.In addition, the injured Zhao Jin needs to eat better, and both Zhuifeng and Lu Cheng are in their prime, and they also have to do a lot of things on weekdays, so the daily expenses for a few people are not small. .

The orchard is going well, and this hoarding of grain is a big problem.

Because not only food, but also water needs to be stockpiled, and a lot of water containers need to be bought, this is the first time for several people to worry.

After much deliberation, Lin Shuang made a decision: go to Fencheng again to be a hawker.

As for what to sell?Lin Shuang's mind immediately thought of the rare fruit outside the fruit forest.

The taste of these precious fruits is good, many of them have the effect of relieving heat and quenching thirst, and they are also pleasing to the eye. If they are sold, they must be hundreds of times stronger than those wild fruits.

He really was guarding the gold and silver nest and going out to beg for food, so when Lin Shuang thought of this, he brought it up to Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin was naturally the first to disagree with this decision, but he couldn't think of any other way.

"No, this method is not good." Zhao Jin shook her head again and again.

Lin Shuang thought that Zhao Jin was worried that the precious fruit would be tasted first. Although Zhao Jin did not tell her the future role of this place, Lin Shuang already knew it from her previous life, and she always believed that Zhao Jin was a little girl of the imperial court. official.

Hearing Zhao Jin's objection, she quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't sell a lot, or I'll just pick two common ones to sell, so it won't affect..."

As soon as Lin Shuang spoke here, Zhao Jin knew that Lin Shuang had misunderstood: "Shuangniang, I don't mean this, but, I am worried about your safety."

"Brother Jin, it's really all right. It's not that I haven't set up a stall before, but I know you well there." Lin Shuang quickly argued.

"Besides, if it's really a drought, those precious fruits on the fruit forest will also go bad. Why don't we sell them for money at this moment, which can also temporarily tide us over."

Seeing that Zhao Jin didn't speak again, Lin Shuang hurriedly hit the iron while the iron was hot: "Brother Jin, I used to take Zijun with me when I went to set up a stall. If you are really worried, you can ask Zhuifeng to go with me."

Now the orchard is almost done. Lin Shuang and Lu Cheng have already transplanted more than half of the rare fruits, so even if she is not there, Lu Cheng should be able to complete it smoothly, but the day of driving up the price of grain is getting closer and closer. , Lin Shuang couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

If you wait until that time, even if you have money, it will be too late.
