The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 10 Poor, Really Poor
Shen Sisi has a black thread. In fact, the taste of this vine leaf is not bad, but it is very laborious to tear off the skin leaf. It is still very difficult for her and her three brothers, and what she is most afraid of is tearing the leaves. This thing, every time I tear it up, my hands will be stained black for several days, which is really sad.

However, she sighed, life is hard now, besides this, what else can I eat? The yield of taro is high, and the vine leaves can be eaten. It is really the first choice for planting when dry land lacks water.

But the stems and leaves are really not very delicious without oil? !Speaking of it, I miss lard, sesame oil, salad oil, sesame oil in modern times... All oils here are precious, expensive and sad, and so is salt. At this time, salt is one of the most important taxes of the court, so it is naturally extremely expensive Yes, normal people have to use at least 20 eggs to exchange a catty of salt, which shows how expensive it is. Now salt is two yuan per catty, but if it is converted into RMB here, it is at least [-] yuan per catty. Of course, the eggs here are not as expensive as modern times. They are precious, and there is no distinction between firewood eggs and foreign eggs. Villagers want to exchange some money, and eggs are reluctant to eat. Unlike modern rural areas, which are rich, even if they raise chickens, they still keep eggs for themselves. , I am reluctant to sell it for money at all, at most I have no way to get favors, so I will take it out, because the living conditions are better, I don’t care about the money for these few eggs.

As she washed her hands, she looked at the stems and leaves, if only there were some peppers.

Thinking of this, she felt a slight twitch in her heart, remembering that there seemed to be a condiment called pepper in the God of Cookery Tower, and there is no such thing as pepper in the market in this era...

Thinking of this, she suddenly became happy.

If so, it would be easy for her, pepper... is a good thing.

There is only three acres of land in the family, and it is not a first-class field. She can only grow some foods such as taro and wheat. She has eaten enough. God knows how much she wants to eat rice. Ordinary things, here, are luxuries...

Thinking of the fields of black soil in her space, she began to plan carefully, with something on her mind and joy, and it was inevitable to bring it to her face, and even the thinnest porridge and black flour pancakes became less difficult to swallow.

Zhong Gensheng looked at her several times, but finally he didn't dare to ask. He knew that his daughter was picky and didn't like to eat these things, but he could only provide them.

On the contrary, He Axiu sighed, and said: "It's not easy to plant three acres of land at home, and with the few acres rented, it will be more and more difficult for the two of us..."

She looked at Dabao and said, "Dabao is eleven, in a year or two, he will be a helper..."

The couple love their children. In fact, children of this age in other families are definitely a labor force during the busy farming season. It's just that the couple are reluctant to part with their children, because they are afraid that the children will not be able to eat well, and they will be too tired, and they are afraid that they will not grow taller in the future.

Shen Sisi looked at the two couples. It has only been eight years, and they already have white hair on their heads. In fact, they are not yet thirty. The ancients got married early and had children early, but they were also very busy. quick……

Shen Sisi felt a sore heart, no matter what, she must lead her family to live a good life, especially the three brothers, they can't spend their whole lives facing the loess and their backs to the sky, they must know a few words, and if they have the opportunity in the future, they will be able to live a good life. better.
