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

Chapter 60: Great Harvest, Extremely Busy

Although this summer is a little hotter than previous years, overall it is still smooth.

Facing the joy of the harvest, all the villagers' faces bloomed with bright smiles.

The wheat in the wheat field exudes the aroma of wheat.

The villagers who had harvested the ripe wheat in early September, dried it in the goose farm, and after threshing it, asked the village chief to borrow a scale and found that this year's harvest was pretty good.

On average, one acre of land produces about 180 kilograms of wheat.

The family who cultivated ten acres of land suddenly gained more than 1800 kilograms.After it was dried, they were not in a hurry to shell it or grind it into wheat flour with a stone mill. Instead, they used a hemp bag almost one meter high to pack this year's wheat.

A sack of wheat weighs 100 pounds.A family who cultivated 10 acres of land packed 18 sacks.

Thinking that the government would send people to collect grain taxes at the end of September at the latest, those who had no money at home gathered together to discuss for a while, borrowed a donkey cart from the village chief, and transported half of the wheat to the grain store in the county town. Went here to sell grain.

……

This year's harvest has been great. Not only the villagers in Chenjia Village are selling grain, but all the villages in the ten miles away are selling grain.

As the saying goes, cheap grain hurts farmers.Every time farmers have a good harvest, the food they sell becomes cheaper.

This year, several major grain stores and various shops in the county collected grain at a very cheap price.

Just five cents per catty.

The price of the moldy cereals bought by Chen Feiyan in the county town was the same as when her family had no food in spring.

When Chen Feiyan heard Chen Yixuan talking about the villagers selling half of their grain and preparing the money for the grain tax, the smile on her face disappeared, and she suddenly mentioned it to Chen Yixuan.

"If this year's wheat is so cheap, then we won't sell it this year!"

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan looked embarrassed: "Daughter-in-law, if we don't sell food, I'm worried that the family will not have enough money."

"Food tax is a huge burden..."

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan told him immediately.

"This September, the weather is wonderful. In the past few days, my sister-in-law, my two sons, and my daughter have found some wild okra and chestnuts in the mountains. We also dug dozens of kilograms of yams. We are planting them in the fields. The green beans and green beans are ripe again. The persimmons, hawthorns and apples we found from the mountains now add up to dozens of kilograms."

When everyone present heard this, their eyes widened in surprise.

Chen Yixuan even smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law, you have hoarded so much in just a few days?"

Chen Feiyan nodded heavily, feeling full of accomplishment.

"Daddy, if you sell such a big pile of things to Wuwei Restaurant in the county town, I think the shopkeeper will definitely take it. I estimate that we should be able to sell it for three to four hundred yuan at once. If the things can't be sold, When the money comes, you carry it back, and we will think of some ways..."

"Besides, in a few days, the pile of kimchi I made will be ready again!"

Hearing this, Chen Yixuan felt at ease.

Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying on the side were also very happy.

They felt that when the autumn harvest came at home, their family would definitely continue to add beams to the thatched house next door.

Beams are very important and must be made of wood as thick as the mouth of a bowl.Otherwise, it will not be strong.

If we don’t have beams at home, we must either borrow them from relatives or buy them in the county town.

Thinking that it would be another big expense, Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying now just hope that their brother's family can make more money in the past few months, and it is best to make a fortune.

In this way, my family of three can benefit a lot.

……

The three chickens, two ducks, and ten geese raised at home have all grown up.

They are all just like the black pigs at home, each one is fat and strong.

Now every morning early in the morning, Chen Feiyan's eldest son has to go out with his obviously taller fourth and fifth sons and his three-year-old daughter to raise the fifteen majestic chickens, ducks and geese, as well as the two A black pig that has grown to about 120 pounds.Let them eat snail shells, small fish and shrimps, and grass by the river.

The chickens, ducks and geese at home have been raised for five months, and they have already matured. A few days ago, each of the hens, ducks, hens and geese began to lay eggs one after another.

Finding that no hens, ducks or geese were willing to lay their nests, Chen Feiyan could only save all the eggs they laid.

I thought that after a while, I would divide some of it and sell it to restaurants.

After there were more and more eggs at home, Chen Feiyan made steamed eggs for three meals a day.

Just a few days later, Chen Yixuan took his three sons, who had grown to 1.7 meters, to the county seat with a full backpack.

Wuwei Restaurant in the county town has recently received a lot of old acquaintances from the past, selling already ground wheat. At this moment, their waiter is giving wheat flour and water, kneading it into dough and waiting for it to rise.They planned to make ramen noodles after the dough had proofed and fermented.

At this moment, everyone inside and outside Wuwei Restaurant was so busy that they couldn't even touch the ground.

Seeing Chen Yixuan and his sons carrying several full baskets today, his shopkeeper Fan Shenpan wiped the water from his hands and walked over.

"Brother Chen, what kind of treasure did your family send you this time?"

Chen Yixuan smiled modestly: "I don't want to take it as a treasure. I just found some wild fruits."

After saying that, Chen Yixuan opened the linen covering on the top of the backpack and took out several beautifully woven small baskets.

"Brother Fan, look, these are wild hawthorns picked by my family on the mountain. Each one is bright red and shiny, and tastes sweet and sour. The smell of these hawthorns is very fragrant. Make hawthorn fruits, hawthorn rolls, and hawthorn cakes. , the most suitable!”

Fan Shenpan stretched out his hand, took out a bright and beautiful hawthorn, put it in his mouth and took a small bite.

Suddenly, the sweet and sour hawthorn scent hit his head.Recently, he has been hosting big guests, drinking and eating too much meat, and he can't eat anymore.As soon as the hawthorn was eaten, he immediately had the idea of ​​what he wanted to eat.

"Yes, this hawthorn came just in time. It relieves tiredness. I want them all."

Chen Yixuan felt happy when he heard the restaurant manager say this.

He immediately sold him the sour beans pickled by his wife.

These pickled beans are just like pickled cucumbers, very sour.

Most of the people in the family would go straight up just smelling the sour smell.The saliva in the mouth will also be secreted instinctively.

Fan Shenpan knew how good Chen Feiyan was in the field of pickles.

He is a great chef and has also made altar dishes himself.

But he compared it in private.His pickled vegetables are really not as good as hers.

She is like a master who has been working in this field for decades.The pickled vegetables are particularly delicious.

The sour and refreshing taste of the pickles made him unforgettable for a long time.

Not only him, but now many wealthy families in the county who have no worries about food and clothing will order several small plates of pickled cucumbers and pickled radish slices whenever they go to his restaurant.

Fan Shenpan was very considerate. He picked up a pickle and put it into his mouth to taste it. Soon, his face wrinkled up.

The sour and refreshing smell made him unable to open his eyes.

But after eating, he wanted to eat again.

Knowing that Chen Yixuan's wife's craftsmanship was really good, Fan Shenpan nodded and said: "How many kilograms of sour beans are there? I want them all!"

Very pleasant to work with.The more than 100 kilograms of mountain products and pickled vegetables that Chen Yixuan brought this time were all sold.

Chen Yixuan got more than 300 yuan this time.

He listened to Chen Feiyan's words, cut two kilograms of particularly fat pork and returned home.
