Hard times have room

Chapter 590
No, in those few days, he went to find Kuang Lao Liu with a backpack in the morning, quietly came home from the road at noon with a backpack, and in the afternoon, he went to the crowded place in the woods for a few laps. After so many days, nothing happened. No, no one in the village noticed that no one was there every morning these days.

The woods around Shanghe Village are very large. Every two or three days, Wang Jiandang will concentrate on picking up mushrooms for a day at home. In addition, he has been walking through the woods in the afternoon, so naturally no one noticed.

"It turns out that it's so cheap, Dad, or else the mushrooms won't be sold, let's keep it for ourselves!"

"Our family's food has been consumed a lot recently. The food in the black market is so expensive that we can't afford it at all. Why don't we keep the mushrooms for dinner!" Paulin suggested softly beside Wang Jiandang.

She feels that the current black market price of mushrooms is too cheap compared to the price of black market grains. Her family's demand for money is not particularly large, and it is not very urgent. If the good mushrooms are sold for money, it is better to stay. Eat it yourself!
After all, there is not much food in the house. Except for the ones hidden under her house, there are only more than 20 catties of soybeans outside.

Recently, all the mushrooms in the family have been saved and sold. The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled are also unpalatable, and they are also dried. The food at home is pure grain and dried mushrooms, dried vegetables and dried bamboo shoots. And so on, these dried vegetables consume a lot of time during this time.

Oh, by the way, those dried grasshoppers that were saved from last year have been consumed ten days ago, and there is nothing left.

Wang Jiandang thought for a long time. He thought of the mushrooms he had sold before, and the 13 yuan and [-] cents he gave to his wife. In the end, it all turned into a deep sigh.

"Okay, listen to you, there is really not much food at home, and now there are fewer and fewer mushrooms in the woods, and there are not many for sale. It's better to keep it at home."

"It's just that I have to go again, the last time, to tell Kuang Lao Liu in the town that he won't wait for me in the future."

"Well, listen to you, it's time to talk to him." Obviously, Paulin knew who Kuang Lao Liu was in that town.

Although she has never met this person, she has heard this name from her father a lot, especially in the past few days.

A few days later, the weather turned warmer, the temperature rose higher than before, and the mushrooms in the woods gradually decreased. Until the family was busy all day and couldn’t gather enough mushrooms, the vigorous mushroom selling trip in Shanghe Village was finally worth it. Ended up.

In the first two days, the villagers still made a little money, but they fought each other and the prices were different. Slowly, the business became more and more difficult to do. In addition, the villagers from other villages got in and sold them. The number of people increased, and in the next two days, most of the people who went there came back as they went.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people deal with the mushrooms in the basket at a very low price, but after all, such people are in the minority. Now everyone is short of food, and no one is willing to be such a loser and sell so many mushrooms for a few cents money.

After another ten days, the wild vegetables and weeds in the ground have emerged, and the green and green ones are especially rare.

So, the villagers of Shanghe Village got busy again. This time, they were facing the wild vegetables that had just grown. Even those that had just emerged would be shoveled up by the roots. There was no way. Divided, of course, when they see something, they will go home and go home when they are plucked.

That is to say, it is spring now, the season for the recovery of all things. After a few days, the place that has been searched for once again glows with greenery. It is very green, and it looks really rare.

When Pauline went out, the harvest was still very rich. If nothing else, it was no problem to ensure that her family could eat and drink every day. Of course, this was mainly due to the inventory in her space.

Now the wild vegetables in the field are not small enough. It is a bit difficult for her to work hard to get enough wild vegetables for the family to eat. However, it is enough to take out a little of the stock in the space and add some to the back basket.

There was Pauline who went outside to dig wild vegetables, while Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying could devote their spare time to repairing the vegetable patch in the backyard.

In addition, the village has resumed work now. They are very busy every day. They are either digging the ground in the back room of their own house, or digging the ground in the village's fields. Too tired to eat.

Last year, everyone was busy picking food at home, and there was no time to take care of the land that didn't grow food, so the land was immediately deserted. However, there were insect restrictions, so it's not too exaggerated. There are wild vegetables and weeds, but not too many, because although there were a lot of grass before, no one removed the grass, but the bugs would not give them a chance to grow up. The grass seeds were gnawed for a round before they set. No, they didn't give them a chance to sow seeds, unless it was the rooted weeds and wild vegetables.

Now the nursery work in the village is already underway. Of course, it is limited to sweet potatoes. Yesterday, a wave was buried, and the top was covered with thick straw to keep out the cold and keep warm. The baby sweet potato that I finally got together was frostbitten.

This is also the weather in the village where the sun was shining for most of the month. Although the temperature at night was a bit low, the temperature during the day was enough. In addition, the thick layer of straw covered it, no problem, as long as you don't Unexpectedly, this sweet potato can sprout well.

As for the cultivation of rice seeds, it has not yet started. One is that the previous seedling fields have been abandoned for half a year and have not been managed. Now I want to do it again, but there is no water.

That's right, since the last big snowstorm stopped, it hasn't rained in the entire Shanghe Village. Of course, this is not only their village, the surrounding areas, and even the entire Jiangning County has not seen rain anywhere.

This also causes the current water level of the Daqing River to be a bit low. It is impossible to release water into the seven or eight acres of rice paddy fields with such a low water level, unless it is directly irrigated with water. , it is impossible to go to the Daqing River to fetch water. It is more convenient to go directly to the Leigong Well next to it to fetch water.

Of course, it is still late winter and early spring, and the people in the village are not in a hurry about raising rice. The spring rains have not yet fallen, so rice seedlings can be put aside for a while, and the dry land in the village can be taken care of first.

To deal with the dry land in the village, this is mainly to turn the land over again, which is still very important. Originally, last winter, the village names should be busy with the work. This is delayed, and we can only hurry up now. , very busy.
