Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 77 Food Crisis
The food was ready, and because of the hard work, the dinner was steamed steamed buns with sorghum mixed in. The steamed buns looked gray, and one was as big as a fist.

It comes with a bowl of egg soup and a few plates of pickles.

Mantou porcelain is not Shen Jiayan's modern yeast-fermented, fluffy mantou, fermented with old flour, very chewy and anti-hunger.
It is an adult man, eating four or five of these steamed buns, and pouring a ladle of water, can last most of the day.

Mu Tianze was very hungry, and with the pickles, he killed three of them in one go, still wanting more.

He also finished off the half of the steamed bun that Mu Tianrun hadn't finished eating, and drank a bowl of egg soup, only to feel that the soup reached his throat, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Shen Jiayan looked at Mu Tianze's turbulent meal, and finally understood what the old man meant when he said, half a child, eating a poor old man.

It has only been a few days since the three of them came back, and the rice in the rice tank has bottomed out, and half of the flour has gone.

If they continue to eat with such an open stomach, the little grain that the Wu family sent to pay the rent will not be able to survive the autumn harvest in the second half of the year.

It's no wonder that farmers' families always have two meals in their free time, and they just cook wild vegetables to eat, so that their stomachs don't cry.

Only during busy seasons and Chinese New Year, steamed buns and dried rice will be made and eaten.

The land at home was planted by the Zhu family and the Li family. The grain can only be received after the autumn harvest. The wheat is almost harvested and it is too late. I saw someone planting corn in this village. Now the corn seedlings have just grown to one hand long, and it is suitable for transplanting. .

This corn is not the kind of high-yield corn in modern society. It is not half the size of modern corn, and the corn kernels on it are almost sparse. One mu of land can yield a hundred catties.

However, this corn does not choose a place. It is a field, a field or a side of a mountain. It is drought-resistant and does not require much labor. Therefore, many people in the village plant corn and sorghum in rotation so that the land can be repaired.

Although the taste of corn crumbs is mediocre and a bit harsh, it can be mixed with rice noodles to satisfy hunger.

The best thing is that after the wheat is harvested, it will be transplanted to the dry land without any delay, and it can be regarded as an extra harvest of grain.

In addition to paying taxes, most of the food harvested by the people in the village is reserved for the family's rations, and some of the excess will be sold.

Shen Jiayan does as the Romans do, so he can't always pay for food, can he?Even if there is this plaque for offering, it will only guard against gentlemen, not villains.

The money is exposed and people are watching it. The robbers don't care whether you have a plaque or not.

Therefore, I plan to open up a little more wasteland around the vegetable field, and plant some corn and sorghum, which can alleviate the food crisis at least.

With the help of the brothers and sisters of the Mu family who have been beaten like chicken blood in the past few days, they can also open up a little more wasteland, and the food shortage in the second half of the year can also be reduced.

For some reason, Mu Tianze and Mu Yue felt their backs shudder, feeling that something bad was about to happen, they looked at each other, and then looked at Shen Jiayan suspiciously, seeing that she was only staring outside in a daze, and didn't care. Knowing what he was thinking about, the smile on his face looked a bit pervasive.

The next day, Mu Tianze and Mu Yue knew why they infiltrated.

Shen Jiayan threw them a sickle and a hoe and asked them to open up around the vegetable field, then tidied up a little and went to Lizheng's house.

She also wants to open up some wasteland at the foot of the mountain and grow some corn, sorghum or sweet potatoes.

With food in hand, don't panic!
Because of the previous affairs of the Wu family and the plaque of the magistrate of the county, Lizheng's attitude couldn't be more amiable. He not only agreed to Shen Jiayan's request to open up wasteland around the vegetable field, but also mentioned a few words, saying that if it is in the mountains Land reclamation at the foot, because the place close to the river ditch has almost been opened up by the villagers, and the terrain is far away.

It would be better to open a few wastelands near the entrance of the village. After all, it is closer to the river ditch, but the bushes there are deep, the soil is not much, and most of them are gravel.

It's nearby and convenient, and you can watch it at the door on weekdays, which can save a lot of trouble in the later stage!
Shen Jiayan knew that Lizheng was selling it for herself, and Lizheng's wife was still saying good things. Hearing that Shen Jiayan wanted to grow corn and sorghum, she hurriedly said that she also planned to grow these this year. The ready-made seedlings would wait for Shen Jiayan's field to bloom Alright, just go to her nursery and dig it back and plant it.

He also asked Shen Jiayan if he had any difficulties, just ask, everyone is a fellow countryman, and anyone who can help will definitely help.

Shen Jiayan would not discredit Lizheng's family, so she thanked Mrs. Lizheng with a smile, and then went home.

After working for several days, he finally opened up about half an acre of wasteland next to the vegetable field. Mu Tianze was already exhausted.

There were several blood blisters on my hand, and water flowed out when it was worn out, and it hurt so badly when I moved.

Mu Yue is better, and Mu Tianze loves her too, all he needs to do is cook, wash and take Mu Tianrun with him.

Every night, Mu Yue would take a needle and burn it on the oil lamp, then prick the blood bubbles on Mu Tianze's hands and squeeze the blood out, so that Mu Tianze would feel better the next day.

But the next day worked a little harder, the tender meat was red and swollen from the skin where the skin was broken, and I couldn't even hold the chopsticks when I was eating.

Even so, Mu Tianze and Mu Yue never complained again.

Firstly, it was to please Shen Jiayan, lest she would remarry.

Secondly, they saw with their own eyes that Shen Jiayan had done more and was more tired than them!The palm of the hand was also worn out, bloody and bloody.Injured like this, Shen Jiayan never yelled bitterness or said it was painful once.

Let the two brothers and sisters feel ashamed, how dare they complain!
Especially Mu Tianze, he has always prided himself on being a man who stands up to the sky, but compared with Shen Jiayan, a stepmother who is not much older than him, he is really compared to the ground.

Shen Jiayan actually wanted to cry and complain, but in this time and space, she was alone, and the world was so big that there was no one she could confide in.

What's more, after what happened back then, she got used to being alone, swallowing all the hardships and hardships by herself.

It's just that the body is still too weak, and after a few days of land reclamation, it's a bit overwhelming.

Shen Jiayan didn't dare to make everyone very tired, if she got sick, it would be fatal!Not to mention spending money to see a doctor, the level of medical treatment in this time and space, if you are not sure, you will die!

Therefore, when Li Goudan came to invite Mu Tianze to pick wild cherries on the mountain, she readily agreed.

Mu Tianze couldn't believe his ears. When he came back to his senses, Li Goudan had already dragged him to the intersection of the mountain at the end of the village.

At the intersection, there are several children who are about their age, playing and playing.

Seeing Li Godan and Mu Tianze coming, they all looked over.

Mu Tianze took a closer look, there was an old acquaintance here, a rival, strong!

Compared with the previous appearance, Da Zhuang has lost a lot of weight, and his stature has also grown a lot. He is skinny, and his head looks very big. He is wearing old clothes that don't fit well, with patches everywhere, and his wrists and ankles are exposed. Come a long way.

With a piece of thatch in his mouth, Mu Tianze sneered when he saw Mu Tianze, spat out the thatch, and looked at Li Goudan: "Li Goudan, do you really want to take the young master from this city up the mountain? The eldest young master is spoiled with delicate skin and tender flesh, so don't hold back—"
