Chapter 16 16 Days
It was already dark when we went down the mountain.In fact, she is really not afraid now. In her previous life, she would be afraid even when driving at night.I am bold here.

The little donkey watched its master come and yelled.No matter how tired you are, you still have to serve it, and it will be the main force in the future.

When I got up in the morning, I heard a knock on the door, "Sister San, someone is here to sell chickens."

Chen Miao opened the door quickly, and saw a middle-aged man carrying a basket outside.

"Third sister, there are chicks and ducklings."

Chen Miao was also very excited. She only had a donkey at home and wanted to have more live animals.

She forgot that she didn't have much money at all.

"How much is one?"

"Chicken is three copper coins, so is duck, and goose is five copper coins."

The smile on Chen Miao's face froze after hearing this.Keep the whole money in your own hands.There were only ten copper plates, and Chen Jiang gave himself five, which was enough to buy five.Not to mention wanting to buy a goose, it is a good housekeeper.

"Can I use pine nuts instead?"

"It can be exchanged, but one catty of pine nuts can only be exchanged for three chickens."

"That won't work, you are too dark, my pine nuts are all peeled."

"You bring it to me to see."

Chen Miao went into the room and took out a cloth bag.Inside are unhulled pine nuts peeled from the pine cone.

The man grabbed it repeatedly and looked at it again. "At most one catty of pine nuts will give you four chickens."

"Well, you give me four chickens, four ducks, and four geese. I'll give you three catties of pine nuts."

"That won't work, but I will lose."

"Impossible. I have sold pine nuts before, and I know how much it is. There is no loss at all. It is not easy for you, and I will let you make some money."

At this time, the aunt of the Tang family from the east also came over.Although they are neighbors, there is a distance of more than ten meters.

The shopkeeper thought for a while, "I'll give you five chickens, four ducks, and three geese."

Chen Miao nodded, "Okay, but you have to give me the best ones. I will have one of the three types and the rest will be female."

"You choose."

Where did Chen Miao know this? "Auntie, help me choose, but I don't know you."

"I don't know much about Xiaofeng's family. I'll call my mother-in-law. My family wants to buy a few too."

At this time, the salesman has already started weighing pine nuts.Chen Miao stared at him closely, afraid of being fooled.

After a while, an old lady with small feet came over with a stick.

"Big Tits. Help me choose four pullets, one pullet, three ducks, one male, two female geese and one male."

"Girl, why do you buy so much?"

"Big Tits, there will be wild vegetables in the future, and I will sell them for money when I grow up."

"It needs a lot of food. Go in and get the basket."

Chen Miao went in with the rest of the pine nuts, but when she came out the old lady had already picked them out, she didn't understand even though she was watching.

Thinking about eating eggs can lead to enlightenment.You can also eat salted duck eggs, and goose eggs are very nourishing.

"This time the peddler's chickens are very good, and they have been able to feed for a long time."

"Auntie has a good eye. I do business with my conscience."

Because no one cared about his boasting, he quickly picked out all the things Chen Miao wanted and put them in the basket.

"Girl, stay on the kang for a few days."

"Big tits, I know." Chen Miao was happy.The days of self-sufficiency are really not far away.

I took it into the house and covered it with a broken mattress this time. Knowing how to raise chickens, I hurried to soak cornmeal, thinking about steaming it when I was cooking at noon, so that the chickens would be easier to digest.

When I went out, I saw the chicken seller followed the old lady. Chen Jiang was already feeding the donkey, so she also hurriedly lit the fire.

"Third Sister, I'm going back, and I'll follow Dad to open up wasteland in a while."

"Okay, let's go, come over at noon and eat some more."

"It's okay, I can eat enough at home."

After tidying up everything inside and out, she went to the field for a walk, and now she was looking forward to the rain.

I will plant sweet potatoes tomorrow, and I will need a lot of water. There are many buckets in the warehouse, and it is okay to fill them with water.

When I come back, I peel pine nuts at home if I have nothing to do. I still need to have electricity money in my hand, otherwise I can’t do anything.

The next day I went to the village chief's house, and all the sweet potato seedlings had been brought over, [-] of them.

"Fifth Aunt, are you going to plant sweet potatoes too?"

"Yeah, it's fast forward to May now, and it's time to plant."

Chen Miao directly went up the mountain with a basket on his back and a pickaxe on his back.Sweet potato seedlings are definitely not enough, so soybeans should be planted in the remaining places.

Because she has access to water, planting sweet potatoes is not a difficult job for her.

Continue planting soybeans when you are full.There was still a lot of water, so I poured the sweet potatoes again.

Her spring planting is over.A person started to organize in the yard.

The chickens, ducks and geese are still kept together, and they want to build a pigsty, and also want to build a barn for the little donkey, so that it will not be so cold in winter, and the woodshed needs to store more firewood in winter.

In this way, a large amount of soil embryo is required.I also thought that I could rest, but it seemed that I didn't have that life.

I don't want to dig the soil in the yard, and I need to use a mold to remove the soil embryo. I don't have this thing myself, so I have to borrow it, but I can mix the mud first.

I went to the river to see that sandy soil would definitely not work for the soil embryo. I locked the door and went out with a pickaxe. I just walked around the house, and it seemed that it was not suitable.

"Chen Miao, what are you doing?"

"Ma'am, I've finished planting the land, and the seedlings haven't emerged yet, so it's fine. I want to get some soil embryos."

"Go to Beitou, there is a pit over there full of loess."

Chen Miao obediently went to the northern pit, and it was easy to find.There are already a lot of soil embryos here, and also, most of the village's soil embryos are used for the walls of my courtyard.

After thinking about it, I still don't want to be here, and the water can't be used, and it will be too tiring to carry water by myself.Who wants to suffer when there is an easy way?

Leaving here with a lot of trouble on my shoulders, I want to find a quieter place.

Wandering around to the cemetery and leaving quickly, although I am not afraid of walking at night, I am still in awe of the place where the dead are.

After wandering around for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable place.When I arrived at the west end of the village, I saw her father and Chen Jiang and Chen Tong. That woman should be my mother, right?There is also a little girl plowing the field.

Chen Miao thought for a while, since he met him, he should go over to have a look.

She just called her parents and picked up stones beside Chen Jiang.

The whole family may be used to her like this, and no one thinks it is abnormal.

There are many small stones in the soil.I have to pick them all up.Chen Miao followed suit for more than three hours. It is estimated that it is already two o'clock, and he is really tired. "Father, I'll go back first."

"Hmm." Just like that.

It doesn't matter to Chen Miao, it's just that it's okay to catch up with her today, but she won't leave her work for them, and she has no affection for them.It's just that the parents who occupy the body are related by blood, and it is impossible to have that kind of real family affection.
