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

Chapter 45
When Chen Yixuan went to the county town this time, he went to Wuwei Restaurant.

In recent days, its shopkeeper and chef Fan Shenpan has been very busy, so he asked his eldest nephew to entertain him.

When his eldest nephew saw that he had brought over delicacies like morels, he took matters into his own hands and offered him a price of twenty cents per catty.

Although this price is slightly lower than what Chen Yixuan sold it for before, fortunately, it is never lacking here.Give money happily.

The dried morels weighed almost ten pounds.In addition to three kilograms of leeks, Chen Yixuan got 210 Wen from the Wuwei Restaurant this time.

Before leaving, the manager of the restaurant happened to be very tired. He heard Chen Yixuan coming over and talked to him for a while.

He felt that the price his eldest nephew offered him for morels was a little low, so he asked his nephew to get Chen Yixuan a half-pot of pickled pork and pickles.

He is a cheerful person and speaks directly.

"Brother Chen, don't forget that these are leftovers from the guests, but this braised pork with pickled vegetables is also a rare good thing for ordinary people like us. You can bring this half casserole of meat with you Go back and make up for your wife and children."

Chen Yixuan was extremely surprised when he saw the greasy meat in the casserole.

"Such a good thing was given to me for free like this? Is this okay?"

Fan Shenpan waved his hand and said boldly: "What can I hate about a friend like you?"

After briefly chatting with Chen Yixuan, he went back to get busy.

……

Chen Yixuan was very happy when he was sent out by the waiter from the back door of the restaurant.

Chen Xiaoyi and his brothers saw their father go in and come out with a steaming casserole. They immediately realized that their father must have got something good.

After going to the grocery store and selling some straw products and getting some money, they went to the grain store.After buying twenty kilograms of grain and spending another twenty cents on some rags, the four father and son left the county happily.

Everyone knew that they could eat meat when they returned home, but Chen Yixuan and his son rushed back home just as the sun was setting.

At this time, Chen Feiyan was still cooking porridge.

Seeing that the linen bag in her hand was empty, with no rice left, she especially hoped that Chen Yixuan could sell more money this time and buy more food.

Hearing that Chen Yixuan was back, Chen Feiyan quickly stood up to greet him.

Chen Feiyan asked curiously when she saw Chen Yixuan slowly put down his backpack and took out a large casserole.

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

Chen Yixuan replied with a smile: "Meat! I got such a casserole of meat today."

Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying salivated when they heard that there was meat to eat.

Under the dim light of the stove, everyone could see a large smear of oil on the edge of the casserole.

Smelling the fragrant meat aroma, Chen Yixing pointed at it with excitement and shouted: "My wife, smell it! Is this the pork belly with pickled vegetables that our father loved most?"

Wang Yingying swallowed her saliva while staring at the casserole, nodding from time to time.

"Yes, yes, that's the taste! It's so fragrant! My dear, it seems our family hasn't had this for four or five years, right?"

Chen Yixing glared and said, "Isn't that right?! Just half a pound of pork belly that is delicious and delicious can be sold for [-] yuan!"

"It costs about two to three hundred yuan to order four meat dishes and one vegetable dish in a tavern. People who dig food in the fields simply can't afford it."

Hearing this, Chen Yixuan said nothing.I just asked Chen Feiyan to put away the meat in this casserole.

Chen Feiyan sighed and nodded in agreement.

As she walked in holding the casserole, she noticed that Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying were still staring at the casserole in her hand... She had an idea and turned to Chen Yixuan. "Dad, this morning, my sister-in-law told me that they were penniless, living in our house and eating from our family, and felt really bad about it. She wanted to teach me and my daughter how to spin and weave, and she also wanted to teach me and my daughter how to spin and weave. Her unique embroidery stitch technique was passed down to us. Seeing that she was really embarrassed, I agreed."

"How about we stew a few pieces of meat tonight and the whole family will be happy about it and celebrate?"

When she heard that there was meat to eat in the evening, Wang Yingying secretly pushed Chen Yixing and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is right. I did tell my sister-in-law this morning that I will teach spinning, weaving and embroidery at home from now on. With such skills at my side, my eldest niece will definitely not have to worry about finding her husband's family in the future!"

When Chen Yixuan saw that this was true, he immediately made a plan in his mind.

It was difficult for this woman to survive on her own.

Either they are physically stronger than men and are good at farming.Or become a third aunt or a sixth wife.

However, nuns, Taoist nuns, Gua nuns, nuns, matchmakers, masters, pious nuns, medicine nuns, and stable nuns all basically have inheritance.

The daughters of ordinary people like them who make a living by farming, without the support of their mothers and the opportunity, generally would not be able to enter the profession of three aunts and six wives.

Girls from lower-class peasant families were usually sold by their own families and worked as domestic servants, maids, prostitutes, and actors.

If a married woman is unlucky enough to meet a unpromising or harsh husband's family, because she cannot make money for her husband's family, she will be taken over by her parents-in-law or a man at a price of about five or six hundred renminbi per year. , being used as pawn wives by poorer old bachelors.

After helping their husband's family sell their bellies for several years and giving birth to sons for other men to continue the family line, they might be taken back.

As the biological father of his child, Chen Yixuan hopes that whether his daughter will find a son-in-law or get married when she grows up, he hopes that she can learn more skills and gain a few skills.If her marriage doesn't work out in the future, she can at least rely on the skills she learned to stand on her own feet.

With this thought in his mind, Chen Yixuan suddenly nodded to Chen Feiyan and said: "Daughter-in-law, you are still thoughtful. Then we will have a good meal tonight, and the whole family will be happy."

Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying, who had not had the smell of meat in several years, were extremely excited when they heard that there was indeed meat to eat today.

Very good!
that is really good!
...Seeing with their own eyes that Chen Feiyan took two large slices of pork belly from the casserole and put a large spoonful of oily pickles into the porridge pot, Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying were even more satisfied.

With the fragrant meat smoked and cooked, everyone in the Chen family had a sumptuous dinner.

The multigrain porridge with pickles, sesame oil, and two alternately fat and thin slices of pork belly is much more delicious than the porridge with just a little salt.

The entrance is moist.

It was a rare meal with fat and meat, and everyone had smiles on their lips.

In the cold wind of spring, the fragrant scent of oil spreads far and wide through the crack in Chen Feiyan's door.

There are about two hundred families living in Chenjia Village at the moment.

Many people only eat once a day.

Many people only eat once every few days.

There are also a small number of extremely poor people who have been unable to open the pot for a long time, and their family members are also hungry and talking nonsense.

It was late at night, and all these villagers were lying on the kang with their corpses.Trying to forget the hunger that was burning their bodies by going to bed early.But after suddenly smelling the vague fragrance of oil in the air, they couldn't sleep even more.

Because in the whole village, only the village chief, the clan chief, and a few clan elders live in large and bright blue brick houses.Only they are the richest.Many people are wondering in their hearts, whose family insists on eating meat secretly at this late night?
They guessed for a long time, but they really couldn't figure it out.

As a result, these villagers who couldn't sleep were all like walking zombies, hunching their bodies and digging out bit by bit from their dilapidated houses that were leaking everywhere.

Unfortunately, Chen Feiyan's family ate very quickly.I had already finished eating by now.

After eating a full meal, their bodies are warm.After lying on the kang for a while, they all fell asleep with smiles on their lips.
