Cai Xiaolan used the time spent brushing copper pots to add two task points to the farming skill, upgrading it to the intermediate level. However, she did not expect that the task points used for skill upgrades increased at an alarming rate, from two points to eight points.

After the system skills were upgraded, knowledge related to farming automatically appeared in her mind.She has no experience in buying seeds, and she has a plan in mind.

"It's amazing! Let me add a little more to the five-dimensional attributes to see!"

Cai Xiaolan hesitated for a while on the five abilities, and finally chose to add a little to the lowest strength.As a result, the strength increased by 0.1.

Although the difference is only 0.1, the change is obvious.Cai Xiaolan obviously felt that the strength in her hand had increased a lot.The copper pot that had to be dragged just now, can be moved now by gritted teeth.

Because the other three people in the family are still in the cold war.One person can move the copper pot, which is of course much more convenient.

After scrubbing it clean, Cai Xiaolan moved her silver teeth together, rested for a while, and finally moved the copper pot to the kitchen.Along the way, she saw Cui's mother and three others wanting to help. Not only was she not happy, but she glared angrily, and her eyes made the three of them give up the idea of ​​helping.

Cui Boyan, who left the main room and came back, spat fiercely towards the threshold.

"You're exhausted!"

And Cai Xiaolan knew very well that although the three of them didn't say anything on the surface, they owed themselves in their hearts.She does the work at home, and she also works on the land.He was also scolded a lot because of Cui Boyan's matter.Judging from the behavior of the three people who were able to take care of themselves for a month without giving up, they must be regretting it at this moment.

"I don't want you to help me with such a little thing. You owe it. If you owe a lot, you have to pay it back!"

Cai Xiaolan lives up to her master's degree, with an IQ of 1.8, which is [-] times that of ordinary people. It's really terrifying.

Not long after, smoke rose from the kitchen.

"Auntie, do you think Cai Xiaolan will only cook enough for herself?" Cui Boyan sat up, lying on the ground with his head hooked at the door, looking eagerly into the kitchen.

"You haven't done any work. If I were her, I wouldn't feed the dog to you!" Cui's mother was still angry.If it weren't for the lazy Cui Boyan, how could she have had a quarrel with her daughter-in-law.

"Dongping, go to the edge of the vegetable garden and pick two handfuls of bean leaves, and pick up a handful of garlic along the way!" Cai Xiaolan from the kitchen shouted.

In the vegetable garden of the small courtyard, green onions and garlic leaves are growing in full bloom, and several common vegetables have also grown flowers.These are things that the previous owner didn't have time to take away.

Cui Dongping didn't realize that his behavior just now had offended Cai Xiaolan. He stayed in the main room with Cui's mother and Cui Boyan. He always felt that the two of them were unhappy, so he ran away quickly after receiving Cai Xiaolan's order.

"Sister-in-law, the bean leaves and garlic you want!" Xiao Dongping handed these two items to the cutting board beside him.Then the attention was drawn to the high copper pot.

"Sister-in-law, what are you cooking in this big pot?" She seemed to smell a faint fragrance.

"mutton!"

"Mutton? Why don't you smell the mutton?" Xiao Dongping was surprised.Tang people eat a lot of mutton and are very sensitive to the taste of mutton.

"Hey, you'll know when you eat later!" Miss Cai stood on the shelf, lifted the lid of the pot, and poured a big bowl of gnocchi into it.

The shape of the silver-plated copper pot is very suitable for stewing, and its air tightness is very good.The action of lifting the lid of the pot suddenly released the smell of meat that was trapped inside.

The aroma from the pot filled the kitchen and drifted outside.

"Aniang, what's the smell? It smells so good!" Cui Boyan's glutton was hooked.Half a child, eat poor old man.At the age of fifteen or sixteen, it is the most likely time to feel hungry.

"I don't know, it came from the kitchen!" Cui Lushi's stomach also wriggled.It turns out that in the mansion, counting cakes and snacks, I eat at least four meals a day.I'm hungry now too.

"Auntie, go and see what's wrong!"

"I won't go, your wife, you go alone!" Cui Lu's face tightened, and her face was also very thin.

The two of them pushed each other and wanted to go to the kitchen to take a look, but they couldn't save face.

Cai Xiaoniang in the kitchen put in the chopped bean leaves.In fact, the best ones are small green vegetables or spinach, but they were not available in the Tang Dynasty and were very rare.I had to use bean leaves to make up the number.

But Datang also has an advantage. It has many contacts with Hu people and has basic spices.She sprinkled a pinch of salt into the pot and added a handful of ground pepper.Stir evenly and sprinkle a handful of green onions and garlic leaves.

The pot is clear and white, the two colors are distinct, the bottom of the porridge is sticky, and the aroma is tangy.

"Come on, Dongping, have a bowl!" There is nothing more nourishing than mutton soup.

Xiao Dongping took the bowl from Cai Xiaoniang's hand, took a sip, and stars were dancing in his eyes. "Sister-in-law, this is too delicious. It's also sweet. Did you add sugar?"

Children love sweets, and they don't want to let go of a little bit of sugar.

"No? Maybe it's the pot!" Cai Xiaolan filled a bowl herself, and it did have a hint of sweetness.She remembered clearly that the silver-plated copper pot had its own sweet taste.

While the two were drinking vigorously, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Miss Cai, do you need our help in the kitchen?"

Cui Lushi and Cui Boyan stood at the door innocently, saying unintelligible words, but their eyes were full of a pot of mutton soup.

Cai Xiaolan filled a bowl alone, and the four of them ignored the table manners and gathered around the big copper pot, making the bowls slurp.

The embarrassment among the family members, this meal was completely ruined.

"Auntie, I'll look for seeds later. We'll plant rice in the paddy fields, and two acres of corn in the dry fields, and another acre of wheat." It turned out that Cai Xiaolan didn't plan to grow wheat, after all, in this era, corn yields the highest.

But after a meal of mutton soup, I fully realized the indispensability of pasta.If there were enough noodles to paste some pancakes or steam some steamed buns, wouldn't it be more comfortable than eating gnocchi?

The process of buying seeds was much easier than buying fertilizer and water. The new knowledge in her mind made it easy for her to find the best seeds, and she made an appointment to pick them up in three days.

Cui's family does not have as much land as other families in the village, and after a few tasks are done, there is no work in the fields.Cai Xiaolan looked at the busy farmers in the field, not to mention being envious.One hundred mu of land, with a little effort, can make a monthly income of three thousand.It takes only two years to save up, enough to buy a manservant.

With a servant, do you still need to work in the fields by yourself?

"Mom, dad, let's eat!" A little boy of five or six years old ran quickly past Cai Xiaolan, his braid trembling in the sky, holding a bamboo box dangling in his left and right hands, which made people worry that maybe at some point will fall to the ground.

There are only a few people who deliver meals.Most families are all out.The days for spring plowing are short, and even a hundred acres of land cannot be planted. How can we dare to let the laborers take a break?

"I thought of it!" Cai Xiaolan, who was watching the excitement on the ridge of the field, was so happy that she jumped three feet high.

The scene where the little boy delivered food just now reminded her of a good idea.People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.In the afternoon, when the sun is halfway down, people are most tired. If someone sells food, no one can bear it.

Cai Xiaolan returned home happily and told Cui Lushi, a female celebrity, what she thought.When Cui Lushi heard this, she clapped her hands.The family doesn't have much money left, so it's a good thing to have some income.

"I support you, and I will give you a hundred dollars later. Let's try it out tomorrow!" Cui Lushi didn't think it was a small business. For the current family, even earning ten dollars is worth it.

Besides, the mutton soup at noon had already conquered her.

"Okay, our food reserves are not enough. I'll go out and buy some first!" Seeing Cui's mother agreed, Cai Xiaolan immediately decided to go out and buy supplies.Spring plowing only lasts a few days. If you don't hurry up, it will be too late.

And she misjudged the difficulty of shopping in the village. After walking through several trails in the village, she didn't see any place selling rice.The sun was setting, and she hadn't found a place yet.

"I have no choice but to ask someone for help!" Cai Xiaolan only met two new people in the village, one was from the old man's family who sold seeds, and the other was from Xu Yinlian's family who sold fertilizer and water.The latter one doesn't look like an ordinary person at first glance, he should have these at home.
