Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 242 242 Decision
Just like what Xiaomi observed, Xiaocao is very warm-hearted as long as she is familiar with her.

She just asked the first sentence, and Xiaocao explained everything clearly.

It turned out that there is also a ticket fee to enter the city, one copper plate per person, in exchange for a sign to enter and exit the city.

And when the people in the city came out, they also had another separate certificate, which was handed back to the guards when they returned.

If it is a rich family driving a carriage, generally only one certificate is required, and the inspection is not particularly careful.

After all, the big households who can live in the city have a lot of taxes and fees every year, not bad for one or two copper coins for entering and leaving the city gate.

Although Xiaocao is not very old, she has followed her mother and went to the city to buy vegetables many times. She is very familiar with these processes.

As for the news about the big family, I also heard it from the passers-by during the market.

After hearing this, Xiaomi understood that the few times she went to the city before, the servants of the Liu family came to pick them up, and she did stop at the gate of the city.

Thinking about it now, it was probably the coachman who was proving to the guards at that time.

Xiaomi kept digging bamboo shoots for a while, but what he thought was, did his parents know these things.

She should know, after all, before she suddenly fell into a coma, and her parents took her to the city to see a doctor, they must have experienced this.

What's more, there are Qixi and Uncle Liu, who will also tell their parents these rules.

It's just that she seldom puts her mind here every day, so she didn't notice it.

"Xiaomi, what's wrong with you? Do you also want to go to the city?" The sleeve was pulled, and it was Xiaocao who was looking at her curiously.

Xiaomi nodded: "Yes, I want to see what it looks like."

"Doesn't your family have a carriage going into the city every day? You just go with it."

Talking about it, Xiaocao was not without envy: "Your family is really rich. I have never been in a carriage since I grew up."

Xiaomi smiled: "That's because the brothers in the family are going to go to school in the city, how can I go with them, there is nowhere to stay."

Most importantly, she couldn't find a reason to follow.

Anyway, it's so close, it's better to sneak into the city, and then go to the market to go shopping, buy something, or sell something.

She didn't have a lot of money on her. For so many years, she only had a little pocket money from her parents during the festivals.

Although I have been saving, there are only some copper plates, not even a piece of silver, which is still too little.

Besides, there are so many materials in the space, it is too unreasonable not to exchange some money.

Fortunately, Xiaomi didn't say this. Compared with Xiaocao and others in front of him, or compared to most of the country children in this world, they might not be able to get a copper coin a year.

"There are so many brothers in your family? Do they all go to the city to study? That's a lot of money, right?"

Xiaocao was even more envious.

"Schools in the city are very valuable. I heard that half a year's training is enough for the whole family for a year or two. Even the richest village head's family in the village still goes to the next town to study."

"It's so expensive." Xiaomi was also surprised, and then shook his head: "I don't know about these things, it's because parents are busy."

Then Xiaomi changed the topic and stopped discussing this matter.

The bamboo here is also very big. If you take the bamboo shoots back with their shells, you won't be able to carry much.

But everyone has come to dig many times and has experience. Everyone digs a lot, and then starts peeling.

Except for Xiaomi, everyone was nimble, and quickly picked up a pile of bamboo shoots, which happened to be a basket of bamboo shoots and meat, and then carried them back.

Only millet was the least. Only a dozen bamboo shoots were dug up, and the shells were also peeled together, which was even less.

But no one talked about her. After all, to live in such a big yard, Xiaomi's family must be very rich, and they don't need to sell bamboo shoots to make money.

It was almost noon when the group returned home after crossing the mountains again.

I heard from a few girls that they still have to cook when they get home.

Really hard.

After so many years, Xiaomi felt for the first time how difficult it is for ordinary people to live.

Because she has been in Fu'an Village since she was born, thanks to the benefits of Lingquan water, the entire Fu'an Village has a bumper harvest every year, and the vegetation is flourishing and thriving.

The girl is fair and beautiful, the boy is tall and healthy, like Xiaocao and others, dark and thin, obviously malnourished, in her memory, it has been many years ago.

At that time, she was just born.

"Xiaomi, then we will go back first, and we will come to see you next time when we go to the mountains."

Xiaocao panted and waved goodbye to Xiaomi, and the others did the same. Xiaomi seemed to want to say something when she saw Zhang An, but she left after saying goodbye, before she had time.

Until she got home, Xiaomi felt that Zhang An was weird. Today, when she was digging bamboo shoots with Xiaocao, she also came to look for her several times.

Do you still want to eat beef cubes?
That's not okay, the beef cubes are only used to get closer to the children, how can they be given all the time, won't they be taken for granted sooner or later.

But there is one thing to say, the beef jerky I bought last time has already been eaten. This kind of pure natural beef jerky is indeed more delicious than beef cubes with various spices and additives.

Over the years, the mouth has been picky by Lingquan water. Snacks with additives always taste wrong and weird.

So even if there was a chance, Xiaomi never took out the snacks in the space, because it was unnecessary.

"What are you thinking about? I've been in a daze since I came back, is it fun to go into the mountains today?" The top of the head was patted, it was my mother.

After a closer look, he had already arrived home, and was sitting at the door of the kitchen. The bamboo shoots and meat in the basket were taken by Erniang and soaked in clean water.

Xiaomi's eyes rolled: "Mom, do you know how to make candied fruit?"

There are many fruit trees in the space, almost all of which are cultivated from seeds. It takes several years for fruit trees to germinate to bloom and bear fruit.

As for those fruit trees, she found the seeds of the fruits from the materials of the previous world, and then began to germinate and grow.

In the past two years, it has begun to bloom and bear fruit one after another, and a lot of fruits have been accumulated.

But almost all of these fruits are not available in Chengxian County. At least, Xiaomi has not seen them yet.

However, if there is no fruit, you can't take it out and eat it directly. It doesn't mean you can't make dried fruit or candied fruit, right?

It's a pity, Er Niang shook her head: "I haven't done it, what's the matter? Do you want to eat candied fruit? Let big brother buy some for you tomorrow?"

"No, I'm just asking casually."

Since my mother doesn't know how to do it, then find another way, isn't there a lot of books in the space, she might be able to find books on this subject if she looks through it more.

"Aren't you tired from going up the mountain, go take a rest, or visit Xiao Hei, mother is going to cook, eat bamboo shoots dug by Xiaomi himself at noon."

Erniang stroked Xiaomi's hair and went to work.

Xiaomi was thinking about the candied fruit, and he didn't forget to visit Xiao Hei and the three babies.

The three little babies are also black, exactly the same as Xiao Hei.

It can only be said that Xiao Hei's genes are too powerful, and he can't tell who the dog's father is at all.

After staying with Xiao Hei for a while, he fed him spiritual spring water and an apple from a space to supplement his vitamins, and then Er Niang asked her to eat.

Now when we eat at noon, there are fewer people on the table, there are only four people, and the meals are simple. Even Liu Bo said that it is not so lively.

Fortunately, when everyone came back in the evening, there would be another crowded table.

"By the way, Brother Hu, I saw two more turtles in the pond in the yard today. Could it be that there is a turtle nest in the pond?"

When Erniang suddenly mentioned this, Xiaomi was surprised.

Of course, others were more surprised, such as Jiang Hu and Liu Bo.

"Really? How big is a turtle?"

Er Niang recalled: "It's a little smaller than the ones caught last time. When I asked you to eat just now, I saw them climb the steps to bask in the sun."

Jiang Hu stood up with the bowl in his hand, hurriedly went to the front yard to take a look, and came back after a while, pleasantly surprised: "It really is, it's still there."

Uncle Liu also said cheerfully: "It's luck. It just so happens that the field has been busy for the past few days, Xiao Jiang. Otherwise, you can cut a few pillars in the afternoon to block the water outlet under the wall."

Jiang Hu nodded: "I also have the same idea. I took a look at it just now, and it happens to be a male and a female. Maybe they will lay eggs, and there will be more and more turtles."

Uncle Liu: "Your family is really blessed by lucky stars. Good things happen everywhere you go. No one has ever found turtles in the pond in this yard before."

A thousand-year king and an 8-year tortoise, this turtle is a bastard, and it is a good thing!

Xiaomi ate quietly, but secretly laughed.

There are two turtles, one male and one female, of course she released them. Every day, she puts a lot of water from the spiritual spring next to the water pavilion. Apart from raising the turtles, she also raises the water hyacinths and small fish inside.

With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, there is no need to worry about the two turtles running away.

But just in case, I still have to find a way to tell my parents and block the water outlet, now it's all over, without her having to bother, Uncle Liu will tell her for her.

The adults discussed how wide the fence should be to block the entrance of the water hole, not only to prevent the turtles from running away, but also to allow the water to flow smoothly. It is best that the small fish can also enter and exit freely.

Xiaomi wondered in his heart how he could enter the city smoothly without telling his parents.

She wants to buy two piglets, preferably the ones that have not been castrated. Buy a male and a female and put them in the space so that they can develop freely.

But this seems to be a bit troublesome. If the piglets are not castrated, the pork will have a smell, and the estrus period will not last long, and it will lose the scale.

But the problem is, according to the information that Xiaomi has learned in the past two years, the piglets will start to be castrated in about a month.

The piglets sold outside are all about two months old.

In other words, if you go to the market, even if you are lucky and happen to meet someone selling piglets, they will all be castrated.

Difficult.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Uncle Liu nodding with a smile: "It's good to raise it, and it's not bad to eat it now. After a few years of raising it, I don't know how many small turtles it can produce."

Xiaomi rolled her eyes and asked in puzzlement, "Mother, why don't our family raise sows?"

"I heard from Xiaocao today that their family has a sow that gives birth to a lot of piglets every year. Not only do they not have to buy it themselves, but the piglets can be sold for money."

This is not something she made up, Xiaocao said it herself.

Her family just sold a litter of piglets last month.

It's a pity that she came late and missed it, otherwise she must have found a way to secretly buy two uncastrated ones.

"This..." Erniang didn't know how to answer for a while, so she could only look at Jiang Hu.

At this time, Uncle Liu said again: "Xiaomi's idea is good, Xiao Jiang, I didn't say that everything you grow in your family will yield a good harvest, and you can raise everything well."

"Now that you have settled down, it is better to find someone to do the work in the field. You just need to grasp the general direction."

"There are also those chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits. It's the same. Find a place and raise more. It's the same with raising pigs. Buy a few sows and find a few long-term workers to take care of them. You don't have to work yourself to make money. too much?"

"The most important thing is, you can also relax a lot, can't you?"

Xiaomi next to him nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, yes, yes, a successful person does not have a bunch of people under him.

If you want to do great things, you must learn to employ talents.

In the next second, Uncle Liu's words shifted to Xiaomi: "Look, even Xiaomi thinks what I said is right."

Xiaomi laughed twice: "When I was in Fu'an Village, there were many long-term workers in my family, and I planted a lot of crops."

"Uncle Liu, I know what you mean." Jiang Hu nodded: "I just came to Xiangmu Village and I'm not familiar with it yet. To tell you the truth, I do have such a plan."

With only their own hands, the work they can do is limited, and the harvest of food is naturally limited.

Now the three boys in the family are all in school, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone alone is a huge expense every month. I am afraid that they can't afford it just by growing a few crops to make money.

So in the past few days, the couple have also discussed this matter at night.

keep kids from reading?
That is of course impossible.

Reading is very important, even if you just learn a little bit of literacy, it will be much better than nothing.

Not to mention obtaining fame and fame, but those managers in the shops, which one is not literate and eloquent?
Read more books, at least you can find a better way out in the future, unlike them, who can only plan food in the ground for a lifetime.

Parents always hope that their children can live a life easier than themselves.

This is the common thought of the husband and wife. After all, they have planted crops for half their lives, and no one knows the hard work better than them.

Now that Jiang Hu has made up his mind, Uncle Liu will stop talking. Jiang Hu works calmly, but as long as things are decided, they will generally not change.

Moreover, no matter what Jiang Hu does, he always has a steady and steady attitude, which makes Uncle Liu very satisfied and at ease.

Uncle Liu is more optimistic about Jiang Hu's steady behavior than those who are aggressive.

Moreover, the Jiang family has no foundation and is more suitable for such development.

After lunch, Xiaomi almost knew what was going on with her parents. Apart from helping on the Lingquan, she didn't seem to be able to do much.

Forget it, take some time to go to the village and look at the individual ponds, and put some water in each pond. The water is all for watering the land.

As for whether the whole village uses it together, she doesn't care.
