How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 22 Want to start a small business
Chen Yixuan took several children into the mountains during a storm.

He didn't mean to commit suicide on purpose.

When he was picking the hornet's nest on the mountain the day before yesterday, he saw that there seemed to be more than a dozen wild jujube trees in the forest not far ahead.

He planned to get some new plants near the roots of the old trees today, dig them up with the roots intact, carry them back, and plant them in front of his house.

This spring is just the time to plant wild jujubes.After waiting for a few years, the jujubes will bear fruit in August and September.

Thinking of the jujube cake he had eaten when he was very young, Chen Yixuan swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

He could never forget the sweet and sour taste.

In fact, Chen Yixuan came to this mountain during the storm for another reason.

That means these mountains all have owners!

More than ten years ago, landlord Zhang spent some money to buy this mountain from his parents.When his grandfather was still alive, many medicinal herbs were planted on this mountain.There are also various trees.

When he was picking a hornet's nest last time, he suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child.

After getting a dozen wild jujube seedlings and putting them in a basket on his back, Chen Yixuan took his three sons to other places to touch herbs.

After finding a few licorice trees in a sunny place on a mountain, Chen Yixuan took it to heart.This thing should be able to sell for some money, because it is growing in spring, and autumn is a good time to dig it.

I almost walked through the entire mountain before I found a few Eucommia trees.

This Eucommia ulmoides nourishes the kidneys, nourishes essence, aphrodisiacs, diuresis, relieves fetuses and lowers blood pressure.His grandfather used to take care of things at home, and he would often make tea by himself when he had nothing to do.

When he was young, his grandfather taught him how to make Eucommia ulmoides.

First remove the thick skin of Eucommia ulmoides, wash it, moisten it thoroughly, cut it into cubes or strips, and dry it in the sun.Then, directly make salt eucommia.

Add appropriate amount of boiling water to dissolve the salt, take pieces or strips of Eucommia ulmoides, mix thoroughly with salt water and absorb, then place in an iron pot, stir-fry over slow fire until slightly burnt spots appear, take out and dry.

Moreover, for every 100 kilograms of Eucommia ulmoides, use 3 kilograms of salt.After Eucommia ulmoides has been fried in this way, the layer of glue inside will be destroyed, and the real medicinal effects will be fried out.

Chen Yixuan didn't want to touch the things in landlord Zhang's house.

He knew in his heart that Landlord Zhang was a very powerful person. If he found out that he secretly picked off the skin of Eucommia ulmoides, the whole family would be severely beaten by his servants and they would be given a share of dozens of acres of his land. will also be taken back.

Chen Yixuan looked at the Eucommia trees, and finally broke some branches and returned them.He planned to use cuttings to plant several Eucommia trees in front of his house.

After more than ten years, the bark of the Eucommia tree can be cut.

Thinking that his son would suddenly earn hundreds of dollars, Chen Yixuan climbed up the tree, broke off a few branches, and prepared to go back with a heavy backpack on his back.

The four of us were quiet all the way down the mountain.

When they reached the edge of Youshui River, they cut the reeds and brought out the grass cages.

Finding that each of the eight grass cages contained fish weighing one to three kilograms, the four of them quickly packed up and went back.

On the way back, they met villagers from Chenjia Village.

Everyone saw that Chen Yixuan and his son were so diligent, even mowing the grass outside during a heavy rainstorm, and everyone couldn't help but feel pity for them.

That’s what life is like when you have a bad day!

孽 孽!
More than ten years ago, they were the richest family in the village, but now they are like this.My son said there were too many, but none of them were of use.He himself doesn't have a brother to help him.

I heard that he was recovering from his illness. He had to go out to cut the grass on a rainy day to keep his house warm...it was really pitiful.

Although many people in Chenjiacun sympathized with Chen Yixuan, this sympathy was not pure sympathy, but rather a kind of schadenfreude that saw someone who had been a bully in the past now unlucky.

……

As soon as Chen Yixuan and his son returned home, they all shuddered.

Chen Feiyan saw him and glared at him unhappily.After pouring a bucket of hot water for them, he asked them to wipe and soak their feet quickly.

"I told you, you can't go out at this time. If you get a cold and fever again, the family won't be able to afford the money to treat you!"

"Hurry up, go take a hot bath and soak your feet. I made a few cotton coats for you this morning. You can try them all later!"

When Chen Yixuan was scolded by her, he remained silent and could only nod angrily.

After changing his clothes, wiping himself, and putting on the thick cotton clothes that his wife had modified, Chen Yixuan soaked his feet and felt warm all over his body.

He was warm, and his sons were even warmer.

Seeing that there was finally blood on their faces, Chen Feiyan quickly handed them lunch.

"This is a multi-grain porridge stewed with a few spoons of lard. You put in some diced pork belly and radish, and stewed a grilled fish."

Looking at the fragrant and thick multigrain porridge in front of him, Chen Yixuan took his chopsticks and ate it quickly.

Chen Feiyan saw that they were eating enthusiastically and did not disturb them.Instead, he found all those fish.

Cut open the belly of the fish, dig out the internal organs, wash them with clean water, skewer them with branches, and roast them in the stove.

When she found that they had all finished eating and each had washed their own bowls, she asked Chen Yixuan.

"What were you doing in the mountains?"

Chen Yixuan told her that he wanted to plant jujube and eucommia in front of his house.

When Chen Feiyan learned about this, she immediately smiled.

"Okay, growing wild jujube and eucommia are both very good. This will be another two sources of income in the future."

Chen Yixuan smiled and nodded.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Chen Feiyan suddenly suggested: "Daddy, what do you think of our family doing some grilled fish business now?"

"Our family can make more grass cages and bring back more fish. After roasting them in the stove and stocking up on dozens of kilograms, you can take them to the county town to sell them?"

"Let's save the money from the sale first. When we save enough to buy a piglet, our family will raise pigs. What do you think?"

Chen Yixuan saw that she was very interested and had been focusing on raising pigs these past few days, so he could only nod along with her wishes.

I don’t know if I can do this small business of selling grilled fish...

Although Chen Yixuan muttered, after he ate and slept, he started to work with Chen Feiyan.The offal of the fish was roasted, and the crab roe was crushed into mince to make fish bait.

After getting half a catty of bait out, Chen Yixuan took a few grass cages and went out in the middle of the night to lower the cages into the water.

Before dawn the next day, he took Chen Xiaoyi and his brothers to collect the cage.

When they found that there were indeed nearly seven or eight kilograms of small fish in these cages, they went home happily and quickly disposed of all the fish.

After grilling the fish in the stove, they took them out one by one.

They worked until dawn and found that the sun had risen today. After breakfast, they went to the fields to plant wheat.

Seeing them wearing the same tattered clothes when they went out, Chen Feiyan was speechless towards them.

Talking about farm work, good clothes will be worn out...

She only felt that Chen Yixuan was reluctant to leave her.

Why doesn't he know how to treat himself better?
