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

Chapter 59 It's Harvest Season

Soon, the life simulator steward said: "The simulation is over. Please make a choice among the following three options within 15 seconds. If the time is exceeded, all three choices will be invalid."

"First, farming experience +10."

"Second, primary pig raising experience: +10 (20/200)

Beginner Weaving Embroidery Experience: +10 (10/1000)

Elementary mushroom cultivation experience: +10 (0/100)

Beginner Pickle Making Experience: +10 (10/100)”

"Third, all life memories before death between the ages of 25 and 30."

Seeing these three options, Chen Feiyan directly chose the second one.

Feeling that a memory that did not belong to her flashed through her mind, Chen Feiyan immediately started to make pickled pepper radish using a few spoons of vinegar that Chen Yixuan bought for her in the county town.

She just turned all the radishes at home into kimchi. After dark, Chen Yixuan came back with his sons.

Today he built a simple wooden shed in the field.I planned to sleep in the shed after eating later.

"Daughter-in-law, the grain in our fields will be ripe in just a few months. We have to keep an eye on it all the time. Otherwise, some unscrupulous people will cut it all for us at night."

Chen Feiyan said in surprise: "It shouldn't be possible, right?"

Chen Yixing on the side said: "Why not? Some people like to do things that harm others but not themselves! If you don't have more foresight, others will bully you."

Chen Feiyan nodded.

In the evening, Chen Yixuan asked when he saw Chen Feiyan bringing half a bowl of pickled radish to them and asking them to eat it with the porridge.

"Is this the kimchi you made today?"

Chen Feiyan smiled: "Yeah, I just messed it up. In fact, this thing should be soaked for a longer time before it tastes sour enough."

Chen Yixing took a piece and put it in his mouth. Feeling the aroma of vinegar, he nodded. "It does taste pretty good. If you keep it longer, it should taste better."

After the family had eaten and drank enough, brothers Chen Yixuan and Chen Yixing, as well as Chen Xiaoyi, went out.

Starting tonight, they will basically stay home every night.

But they were all frozen, so Chen Feiyan asked them to bring more straw mats and curtains.

……

There are many wild vegetables in spring and summer.

Most people in Chenjiacun dig wild sunflower seeds in the mountains.

Chen Feiyan now goes out to dig from time to time in the morning.

I also found a lot of mushrooms.

But now that there are no restaurants in the county town, she can only make wild mushrooms for her family to eat every day.

Not to mention, wild mushrooms, whether cooked or grilled, taste particularly delicious.They never get tired of eating this every day.

Because Chenjiacun is located in the northwest, winters are extremely cold.Tens of degrees below zero is a common occurrence.The most extreme weather here in history is the coldest time. The heavy snowfall in the next night can directly fall on an adult's waist.

In late autumn, it is already snowing heavily here, and everything is basically withered.

Therefore, winter wheat cannot be grown here.Only spring wheat can be grown.

Generally speaking, spring wheat is planted in March and April and harvested in August and September.

Chen Feiyan's family planted spring wheat in mid-April this year. After Chen Yixuan's condition improved, his family planted spring wheat.

In June of summer, tax collectors sent by the county came to Chenjia Village and collected a grain tax, which was cash. Chen Feiyan's family's pockets shrank a lot.

There was no other way, but at the end of June, Chen Feiyan urged Chen Yixuan to go to the county town to deliver all the kimchi made at home to Wuwei Restaurant in the county town.

With the help of the life simulator, Chen Feiyan has already reached 50 points of entry-level farming experience and 50 points of experience in pickling vegetables.

The pickles she makes now are sour, delicious and tasty. It is very appetizing to eat with rice and porridge.Last month, the owner of Wuwei Restaurant tasted it and he was full of praise.

No, Chen Yixuan now goes to his place to deliver about a hundred kilograms of kimchi every half month.

Pickled pickled cucumbers, pickled radish, pickled cabbage, and pickled leeks are very popular.

Wuwei Restaurant charges three cents per catty.

Chen Yixuan can still earn [-] yuan every time he goes there.You can earn six hundred a month.It is completely comparable to those strong men carrying monthly bags at the dock.

Chen Feiyan also taught everyone in the family how to make sauerkraut from the beginning.

However, some crafts may seem simple, but when you actually practice them, you will find that they are not easy.

Just like a chef doing a white job.Chefs with high experience can make the pleats of dumpling wrappers and bun wrappers very beautifully.As for cooks with low experience, firstly, the wrapping is very slow, and secondly, the wrapping is not so beautiful.

Compared with the sauerkraut made by others, the sauerkraut made by Chen Feiyan is more fragrant and delicious.

The days are getting hotter and hotter.

Summer temperatures have reached around 40 degrees.

Under the scorching sun, some of the land on the mountain cracked.

Nowadays, people in Chenjia Village basically go out in the morning and evening, carrying buckets of water to water the wheat and vegetables that are still growing slowly in the fields.

At the beginning of July, the family had slowly saved more than one tael of money.When Chen Feiyan was working on the life simulator this time, she finally gained experience in building textile machines with wood.

In order to earn more money, Chen Feiyan whispered to Chen Yixuan when everyone was having dinner together that night.

"Daddy, I want to buy some and find a carpenter to assemble some wooden parts. I want to work with my sister-in-law to assemble the loom."

Chen Yixuan asked at that time: "Are you sure about the textile machine?"

Chen Feiyan stretched out five fingers and said, "I'm at least [-]% sure."

Chen Yixuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

With the harvest approaching, all the villagers in Chenjia Village are busy.

The closer it is to harvest time, the more they stay in the fields every day.

Wild boars and deer on the mountain often run into the fields to eat when people are not paying attention.

In just one night, a dozen wild boars can destroy more than ten acres of wheat fields that are about to mature.

Moreover, the wild birds and pheasants hidden in the mountains, including sparrows, will also steal wheat when people are not paying attention.

……

Time flies so fast, it’s only the beginning of September, and the crops in some villagers’ fields are already completely ripe.

Facing the joy of harvest, they cut wheat every day with great joy.

After picking up loads of ripe wheat, they hurried back to take advantage of the hot weather to dry the green wheat through exposure to the sun and then thresh it.

Seeing that everyone in the village was busy harvesting wheat, Chen Yixing was very anxious.

"Brother, how long will our family have to wait?"

Chen Yixuan said: "Our wheat is not yet ripe yet, it is still a month away. We won't be able to harvest until the end of this month. Let's wait another 30 days!"

After hearing this, Chen Yixing was still anxious.

"I'm worried now that the heavy snowfall will come earlier this year."

"Our family has planted more than [-] acres of land, more than [-] acres of wheat, and [-] acres of soybeans. Our family has six laborers, including two adult women, which is only eight. It takes at least seven or eight to harvest more than twenty acres of grain. Days. It will take about ten days to dry and thresh them. I'm worried that if it snows here in early October, our food will be ruined..."

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan shook his head and interrupted him. "Brother, you are overthinking. Our family will not be so unlucky as that..."

Although he said this, Chen Yixuan still sharpened his knives and sharpened several iron sickles at home.
