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

Chapter 37 The golden hen that lays golden eggs

Chen Yixuan and Chen Feiyan worked neatly and picked up all the bee pupae in a short time.

Looking at the large bowl full of white bee pupae in front of them, everyone present was greedy.

It's all meat!

How could someone who hasn't touched a drop of oil or eaten a piece of meat in a long time not miss eating meat?

Chen Yixuan now wants to get some oil and fry them all.

But Chen Feiyan suddenly asked: "Dad, do you think if these things were sold in a restaurant, the price should be a little more expensive than pork, right?"

When Chen Yixuan heard this, he immediately understood what his wife had planned.

A bee pupa weighing one pound would be more expensive than pork.If you sell it and buy another pound of pork, you will get a lot more money.

But when he thought of the butcher who sold meat in the county, Chen Yixuan frowned and spoke.

"Daughter-in-law, I understand what you are thinking. That butcher Hu is a bit dishonest in his business. When he is in a bad mood, he likes to be short on weight..."

"Is he still like this?" Chen Feiyan was surprised.

Chen Yixuan nodded heavily.

Chen Feiyan thought for a while and decided to sell the bee pupa.

"Dad, we still have to go to the county restaurant tomorrow morning and ask to see what price the shopkeeper will give. If it is higher than the price of fat meat, we will sell it! After selling the thing, if the money is enough, you can help I’ll buy a pig! It would be better if I could buy two!”

Chen Yixuan nodded in agreement.

Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying, who were standing by, saw them talking about making money. They looked at each other a few times and felt envious in their hearts.

It’s good to make money!
When Wang Yingying thought about money, she thought about how she could live without money.
Therefore, Wang Yingying is even more eager to go out on her own and have a house of her own.

They are now dependent on others and lack confidence. Is it because they have no money in their pockets?

If they are rich, and they are the kind who have a lot of money, when their relatives, friends, and neighbors see them, who will not laugh?Who is not polite?
Thinking of this, Wang Yingying's hands flew freely on the knitted straw sandals, almost weaving a flower.

Because Wang Yingying has textile experience, she is now very good at knitting.

A pair of straw sandals were beautifully knitted by her.

However, no matter how beautiful the straw sandals are, they are still essentially a pair of straw sandals.When it was sold to poor people in the county town, those people would never pay a few more big bucks.

……

Seeing that his daughter-in-law seemed to be stimulated by something today, Chen Yixuan, Chen Feiyan and the whole family were all asleep, and she had to make straw sandals in the dark. Chen Yixing, who was lying on the kang, couldn't help but move closer to her ear. He asked in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing? It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

Wang Yingying raised her head and looked at him with red eyes.

"Master, what do you think we should do in the future?"

When Chen Yixing hears this question now, his head hurts.

How to do?Salad!

He doesn't even know what his wife is anxious about? !

The past two years have been so difficult, but they have managed to get through it.The three of them are now safely at their younger brother's house. They no longer have to worry about being blown by the wind or rain. They really have a place to stay... Why is she so anxious now?
"Daughter-in-law, I know you feel bad. Don't worry too much. After we help my brother's family finish the summer harvest, I will go to the county to work as a part-time worker for a few months. I heard that carrying bags at the dock can be done in one day. Earn a fortune of ten or twenty cents."

After hearing this, Wang Yingying glared and roared in a low voice: "What's the use of earning ten or twenty cents a day?"

"I just calculated that if you earn [-] cash a day, if you carry a bag at the dock for a month, it will only be [-] cash. This does not include the necessary food, drink and sleep you need every day. Think about it for yourself, after a month, you will, How much can you save?”

Chen Yixing understood that his wife was very dissatisfied with him, so Chen Yixing had to tell him another plan in his mind.

"How about I get another job at night and catch fish in grass cages by the river every day, and then sell the fish I get in restaurants?"

Wang Yingying was still dissatisfied after hearing this.

She shook her head, suddenly hugged his neck, and whispered in his ear.

"Master, I don't want you to work so hard! How can you do the work of carrying a bag if you are in such poor health?"

"I'm thinking now, when your brother's life gets better in the future and he has some spare money, can you borrow it from him?" Seeing Chen Yixing frowning and looking hesitant, she quickly said: "Head of the family, let's My family used to be rich. You have seen my weaving skills with your own eyes. You said you borrowed money from your brother and bought me a loom. How great would that be? Then, I Weaving at home every day is guaranteed to earn three to five taels of silver in a year!"

After Chen Yixing heard this, not only did he not show any joy, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

He actually quite agrees with his wife's thoughts.

My daughter-in-law's ability to make money through weaving was praised by her husband-in-law, who was born less than a year ago, with thumbs up.

He could pat his chest and guarantee that the patterns and colors produced by his wife's weaving were famous throughout the Jiangnan area.

Now in this remote and desolate northwest, it will definitely become the only one!
But it just so happened that it was her uniqueness that made him extremely worried!
Chen Yixing was born here.Growing up from a young child to a young man, he knows the folk customs here best.

It's uncivilized here.poverty!Also extremely patriarchal.The old bachelors were all gathered in a pile.

People here who don't have any wealth can't get a wife at all.

The man who cheated his wife with a high bride price also allowed his seven or eight sons to share such a pitiful daughter-in-law.

In addition, widows are always the target of bullying by bachelors.The person who knocks on the widow's door in the middle of the night is never just one person, but a group of people.

Women who have no ability to make money are prey in the eyes of men.

And someone as capable as my own daughter-in-law is the golden hen that lays golden eggs every day in the eyes of the world!She is even more the prey of those bachelors.

Perhaps, after his daughter-in-law became famous in the county town by relying on her weaving skills, old bachelors from the village and outside the village came to her every day, just wanting to get her.

And the rich and powerful young men in the city might also take a fancy to her, and after taking her into their own backyard, they would force her to weave on the loom every day.

Chen Yixing has read The Peacock Flying Southeast.

Liu Lanzhi's evil mother-in-law didn't treat her as a human being.When I asked her to weave, she was asked to weave one piece in three days!

If she couldn't do the tasks she set, she would beat and curse people with wattle sticks.

When he thought that those bachelors might come up with some desperate tricks to kill all the men in their family in order to get their wives, a few big words suddenly appeared in Chen Yixing's mind.

"It's a crime to conceive a jade!"

……

Wang Yingying saw that her husband's eyes were dull and he was looking at her in a daze. She couldn't bear it, so she pushed him hard.

"Master, what are you thinking about? I have been calling you just now, why don't you reply to me?"

Chen Yixing was pushed several times by her, and he slowly came to his senses.

Seeing that Wang Yingying was still asking, his temper became a little bad.

"Okay, okay, just stop thinking like that for now!"

"Don't you think about it, how much does a loom cost? That's five or six taels of silver! There are many weaving factories in Jiangnan, and looms are sold everywhere. So you can buy it for five or six taels of silver! But! We are now in this remote and poor hometown! Who do you think is willing to accept five or six taels of silver to sell their looms?"

"What's more, there are families here who have looms, and a loom has often been passed down for seven or eight generations. Who would sell you the guy who earns money for food?"

Seeing her husband pouring cold water on her, Wang Yingying said angrily.

"It's okay if you don't buy a loom! If you borrow the money, I can find someone to make it myself!"

When Chen Yixing saw Wang Yingying looking like this, he didn't know why, but he saw a little bit of his sister-in-law in her.

Noticing Wang Yingying's expression of determined to bring back a loom, he suddenly waved his hands impatiently: "It's up to you! It's up to you! Do whatever you like, anyway, I can't ask my brother to borrow it. money.”

"My brother is already so poor. He is already very conscientious if he allows our family to live in his shabby house for free. If I ask him to borrow money again, where will I put my face? ?”

Wang Yingying cried angrily at his words.

"It's not like we won't pay back the money? I have a loom, and I can pay it back in just one year! In a few years, I can make a lot of money with my crafts, build a new house, and let our son take the exam. The imperial examination can really make a comeback for the family!"

Chen Yixing became even more irritable after hearing this.He grabbed Wang Yingying's shoulders and looked straight at her.

“Daughter-in-law, we don’t need it!!”
