I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 487 The Cannon Fodder Who Died in Exile (5)

As soon as Shi Jiang and Shi's father arrived home, Shi Jiang took the ingredients he had bought to make garlic bean paste.

Shi's father didn't care about Shi Jiang's bean paste.

Far away from the capital, my daughter is here alone, so I have to find something for her to do. When she is in a good mood, her body will naturally feel better.

It's best if you succeed, but if you don't succeed, it's no big deal, at most it's just a waste of some money!
Hearing what her husband said, Shimu, who was a little annoyed at first, sighed slightly and said nothing more.

However, after the 50 taels of silver note she secretly hid in the sole of her shoe was broken, there are now only thirty taels of taels left.

The days to come are still so long, if I don't have a stable source of income, I'm afraid I'll just sit back and eat!

But here, people who are not familiar with the land, she and Shifu can't lift their hands or shoulders, if they are asked to farm the land, it is estimated that if they go down with a hoe, half of their lives will be lost.

Coupled with the fact that she has a daughter who is in poor health, Shi's mother deeply felt that the life without money was really too difficult.

Thinking of her daughter's body, Shi's mother bit her lower lip, or should she write another letter to her mother?

A daughter's life is always more important than one's own face and self-esteem.

Shi Jiang washed the soybeans in the kitchen, soaked them first, and waited for the soybeans to swell tomorrow, then controlled the water and put them in a pot to cook.

Regarding the worry on Shimu's face, she knew exactly what Shimu was worried about.

In fact, to make garlic bean paste, you need to use soybeans and flour to make bean paste, add chili, onion, ginger and garlic, pepper, light soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar.

Even if she makes garlic bean paste, others can find out what ingredients she bought, and they can't make the same thing as her.

After all, those prickly ash soy sauce and sugar in her bag would probably last a lifetime here.

Moreover, the prickly ash can be used as seeds at some time and grown by oneself, and the white sugar can also be extracted by planting sugar cane.

As for soy sauce and oyster sauce, in fact, oyster sauce can also be refined by yourself, but unfortunately this is Jingzhou, which is close to the prairie.

If you are by the sea, you can extract delicious oyster sauce from oysters.

You can also make soy sauce by yourself, but the ingredients needed are too complicated. If Shi Jiang can make it by herself, she would rather use the ready-made soy sauce in a bag.

However, she can write down the recipes for making these ingredients.

Even if you don't make it yourself, the seller can earn a lot of money in exchange for money.

With that in mind, Shi Jiang took out another elixir from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, then slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after Shi Jiang woke up, he went to the kitchen and threw an elixir into the water tank.

Although she didn't plan to let Shi's father and Shi's mother go to work in the fields in the future, the things she has to do now are many times more than when she was in the capital.

Her body must be well maintained, and so should the parents' bodies.

After washing up, Shimu also got up, and scooped up the ginger-soaked soybeans when she was done.

"Jiang'er, what to do next, you tell mother, mother will do it."

Shi's mother didn't want her daughter to faint suddenly while she was doing it.

Shi Jiang also knew the condition of his own body, so he nodded in response without refusing.

Then he instructed Shimu to boil the soybeans first, then put them out and let them warm up, and then put in the flour to stir and ferment.

When the soybeans were cooking, Shi Mu put a handful of rice in the iron pot outside the stove, poured half of the pot into the water and started cooking the porridge.

Shi's mother is very fortunate that the kitchen in this house has two pots.

Otherwise, after cooking the soybeans, there is no way to make breakfast.

When the soybeans are almost cooked, the porridge is also cooked.

This method of cooking porridge was learned by Shi's mother from the prisoners who were escorted along the way.

She couldn't cook well at first, but practice makes perfect, and she is very proficient now.

Served a bowl of porridge for each member of the family, and served it with a plate of fried pickles last night, and the three of them were full.

Shi Yaoqian wiped the corners of his mouth, said something to Shi's mother, and went out.

Although their family can't work on the land allocated to them in the village, it doesn't mean that the land allocated to their family has to be left unused like this.

Before he went to the county to find a job, he had to ask the villagers to help plow their land.

After all, after spring, something has to be planted.

Otherwise, when the tax is collected in the autumn, the government will pay no less tax regardless of whether you have cultivated the land or not.

Last night, Shi Yaoqian had already thought about it, and it was impossible for a family of three to farm.

However, people can be hired to farm the land.

Regarding the Shi family's decision, Li Zheng was completely speechless.

After all, what Jingzhou lacks most here is land.

It's just that these lands are really poor. If one acre of land is planted, the food output is really unbelievable.

When Shi's father came back at noon, Shi's mother and Shi Jiang had already stirred the soybeans, wrapped them in a clean cloth, and fermented them in a place with a higher temperature.

When Shi's father thought of what Lizheng said, he had a sad expression on his face.

If the food produced in the field is not directly proportional to the wages he hires, then what kind of land should he grow?

But if you don't farm the land and leave the good land deserted, the government will also punish you.

So, for a while, Shi's father felt that his family was really in a dilemma.

When Shi Jiang had lunch, seeing Shi's father still frowning, he tugged at his sleeve and asked why.

Shi's father let out a long sigh, and did not hide his daughter's words, and repeated what Li Zheng had said.

"Father, you said that the land here is not fertile, so the grain yield is not high? So, no matter whether you hire people or not, it's a money-losing business?"

Shi Jiang couldn't help but pick his little finger, and said after blinking.

"Yes, if Dad can find a suitable job in An County, then he will hire someone to plant the land. Our family can still afford to lose this money. I'm afraid that we can't find a suitable job in An County. Work, in that case, we will have to grow the work in the field ourselves. It is really not cost-effective to hire someone."

Shi's father shook his head, and his whole body became listless.

"Father, this is when my mother was cooking beans this morning. I found these soil bumps in the backyard. I washed one and it seemed to be edible. These soil bumps can grow in such barren land as our backyard." If it is so big, if it is planted in our field, will the harvest be better?"

Shi Jiang ran to the kitchen, took out a broken frame, and saw more than a dozen dirt lumps lying quietly inside the broken frame.

In Shi Jiang's hand, it was washed and bitten, revealing a purple-red sweet potato.

These sweet potatoes are all sweet potatoes that Shi Jiang planted in his backyard every year in the previous world. Because there were too many, Shi Jiang casually put them into a bag.

Unexpectedly, it will come in handy now!
