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

Chapter 8 The family is neat and tidy
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Chen Feiyan to start the life simulator again.

It was still dark, and it was still raining heavily outside. Chen Xiaoyi and his brothers put on the grass skirts and sandals they had prepared long ago, put on the coir raincoats that Chen Feiyan had figured out by herself, and went to the bank of Youshui River to pull fish.

The internal organs of those hares had long been roasted by Chen Xiaoyi, cut into minced meat with a sickle, and made into fish bait.I put them into the new, larger and stronger grass cages last night.

Thinking that today might be a fruitful day and he didn't have to worry about being seen by other people in the village, Chen Xiaoyi smiled.

……

As soon as those sensible and filial children left, Chen Feiyan immediately sat by the stove.

She added a small piece of firewood to the stove and slowly closed her eyes.

Soon, she heard a familiar sound.Beep beep, beep beep, the tingling sound of electricity sounded in her ears.

Soon, a robot voice appeared in her mind. "Number 9917815, hello!"

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan took a deep breath and nervously replied in her heart: "Hello! I want to start the life simulator."

When the familiar button appeared in front of her, she raised her hand without hesitation and pressed it gently in the air.

Thus, hundreds of billions of tiny gears in the life simulator began to move.

[Name: Chen Feiyan (female)]

【Age: 25 years old】

[Health status: 22/100 (premature aging, life expectancy is 30 years)]

[IQ: 81 (mildly mentally retarded)]

[Skill: Straw weaving (11/100, entry level)]

[Family relations: Husband (Chen Yixuan, 22 years old, on the verge of death)

Sons (5 sons, some are deaf, dumb or stupid, all with low IQ)
Daughter (IQ 123/200)】

[Characteristics: Illiterate with bound feet]

[Life simulation starts…]

At this moment, Chen Feiyan realized that the life simulator had added a new page for her and judged that she was now mentally retarded. She was quite speechless.

Before she could think too much, she saw the simulation results on the big screen.

[At the age of 25, your husband fell ill in bed due to long-term hard work and chronic malnutrition.After you made a trap and a grass cage, you and your eldest son caught your first mouse.Soon, you taught your eldest son how to make traps and how to make simple straw weaving.Because you teach well and your sons are filial and sensible, your family has begun to enter the good days of eating fish three meals a day.However, due to your poor consideration, you have no money to rent the farmland from a big landlord when the man is sick. Two acres of land cannot support your family of eight.After collecting rent in summer and autumn, your family is stretched again.Your husband died of poverty and illness on a winter night.

At the age of 26, after spring, you and your sons went out to dig wild vegetables.In order to save food rations, you began to consciously cultivate wild vegetables.You planted dandelions, leeks, amaranth, and wild radishes.I also collected the seeds of mature foxtail grass and made my first mixed grain of foxtail grass seeds in my life.In the summer and autumn, your eldest son paid the rent to landlord Zhang and the grain tax to the government, and then went home with a sad face.Because he encountered a landslide on his way home, he was buried in the mountain, and no bones were left.

At the age of 27, because your family lost one of its most important labor forces, you took the whole family with you to plant wheat in the spring, leaving your five-year-old daughter at home.Because the mountain was covered with heavy snow all winter, several hungry wild wolves ran down the mountain and broke into Chenjiazhuang and ate several children.Unfortunately, your daughter is one of them.

At the age of 28, your family’s straw knitting skills were finally exposed.The villagers of Chenjiazhuang were filled with indignation.They all accused your family of being selfish and ignoring blood ties.The clan leader was also extremely angry and opened the ancestral hall that night. All the clan elders in the village began to interrogate you, mother and son.And beat your mute second son to pieces.He died of his injuries that night.And under the threat of those villagers, you were forced to hand over your straw weaving skills.

At the age of 29, your third son was pushed into the river and drowned.Four of your sons and five sons were assassinated and died.And you were kidnapped late one night by a group of masked villagers and sold into a brothel in the county town.Soon, your thatched house and two acres of prime farmland were all divided up by some people.

[Simulation ends]

……

Chen Feiyan once again saw the tragic ending of her family's death. Her eyes widened and she felt very uncomfortable.

Haha, is this what others call "a dead household registration book"?Is this what TVB said in those classic TV series, "As for a family, the most important thing is to be neat and tidy"?
Thinking that her family had only cultivated two acres of land this time and had not found anyone else to rent it, Chen Feiyan thought that it seemed that these two acres of land could not support her family.

The output of 600 kilograms of wheat still refers to the situation of good weather and good weather. We need to eat every day for 365 days.On average, it’s just over one kilogram per day.Can more than a pound of wheat feed a family of eight?Think about it and know that this is absolutely impossible!

Even if their family can eat fish and meat every day...but their whole family still has to pay taxes!

No wonder the sick man in the family only made it through the winter.

Chen Feiyan decided that she must think of more ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the future.Save more food.

Just when she was thinking about it, she heard the steward of the life simulator say to her: "Based on the results of your life simulation this time, please make a choice among the following options within 15 seconds."

"First, farming experience: +15."

"Second, vegetable-growing and pickling skills: +15."

"Third, all the memories before his death between the ages of 25 and 29."

Seeing these three options, Chen Feiyan chose the second one without any hesitation. She wanted the skill of growing vegetables and pickling vegetables!
Chen Feiyan thought, the root of the dandelion is called Granny Ding.She had done it with her mother in the countryside before.I know that this stuff can be stir-fried and served cold, and it also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.Really as food as medicine.

And the leeks are also great.

As long as their roots are not cut, they will grow again and again.I can’t even finish it!As for leeks, if you cultivate them indoors in a place with little light, you can also cultivate leek yellows that taste more tender, fragrant and delicious.

In addition, every time you stew meat at home, add more wild radish and amaranth, which can also fool your mouth.

……

In just one minute, Chen Feiyan learned from the simulator the distribution locations of the four wild vegetables within a hundred miles of Chenjiazhuang, their planting methods, and the tips for pickling wild radishes.

I know that the closest place where wild radish grows is on the edge of a river beach more than two miles away.Chen Feiyan decided that when her sons came back later, she would take them to pick them herself.

time is tight.

One day's delay would mean real death approaching her family.

Chen Feiyan was looking forward to it for a long time, and the brothers of the Chen family, whose raincoats were all wet, finally came back carrying several large straw cages.

Noticing that those grass cages were heavy, Chen Feiyan smiled.

Hurrah!

It looks like there will be a bumper harvest today!

Sure enough, in front of everyone, Chen Xiaoyi caught a big black fish from a grass cage in his hand.

The black fish was almost bigger than a man's two palms, weighing three to four kilograms.

"Mom~, there are so many big fish!"

Hearing Chen Xiaoyi speak, Chen Feiyan smiled and nodded.He quickly took them to cut open all the dozen fish and stewed eight of them.

Now my family still needs to eat more.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, the more people who cannot keep up with nutrition, the higher the possibility of death.

Chen Feiyan saw that there were a few fish left, so she put a straw rope through the fish's mouth, hung them all to the stove, and roasted them.

They can now grill more fish.At that time, it will be suitable whether you eat it yourself or sell it.
