Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 107 Chapter 107 The Secret of the Jade Pendant

Yang Erlang and Ji Xiucai mobilized more than a dozen people who could be mobilized without harvesting tasks, and took them to weave baskets together. After a few days, the effect was remarkable, and grain baskets were weaved out continuously.

And as the proficiency of the villagers increases and more and more villagers join the team of basket weaving, the speed of weaving baskets is getting faster and faster, fully keeping up with the speed of harvesting, so there is no need to worry about the problem of no place to store food in the future.

So busy and busy, more than half a month has passed, all the grains in the fields have been harvested, and the weather has cooled down.

After discussing with Yang Erlang, Ji Xiucai, and several corporal leaders, Mu Yu and Yang Erlang decided to divide [-]% of the grain from each person's field, along with some firewood, and announced that they would no longer eat big pots of rice, but would cook them at home. eat.

The villagers have food, firewood, and basically have pots and stoves at home. It will be more convenient to cook at home when it gets cold.

After all, they don't have enough cotton-padded clothes to keep them warm, so it's better to stay at home and burn fire to keep warm and avoid going out.

Most of the villagers only have the same suit that they are wearing, which can barely cover their bodies, that is, the fabric curtains they bought from the manor before, and they made a few make do so that everyone has a good piece of clothes to wear. Keeping warm is definitely not enough.

But as long as you don't go out and burn a fire at home to keep warm, it should be too big of a problem, and people should not be frozen to death.

There are a few cotton-padded clothes in the village, and they are given priority to those who work for the public, and everyone else stays at home to make do with it.

There are also looms in the village, but there is no raw material, and the season is not right, so we can only wait for the next year to see the situation.

If it doesn't work, just wait for the opportunity to go down the mountain in spring to find a place with people to buy some.

Mu Yu was too cold to stay in the stone house, and the mustard space was warmer, so he often stayed in it, harvesting the grain inside, and cleaning up the supplies placed inside.

It's just that she can't stay in the mustard space all the time. After all, people can't really hibernate, and she is still the village head, so she still has things to do.

On this day, she called Ji Xiucai and Yang Erlang to the stone house to discuss matters.

This time I want to talk about the cold winter.

Over the past few days, the weather has become colder and colder. The water tank in the yard is covered with thick ice, and the well is also frozen. It is very inconvenient to get water.

Mu Yu's face was always flushed with cold, and one hand was also red and swollen, which was accidentally frostbitten.

Mrs. Chen heated the kang to warm it up, and then lit the stove in the house, so Muyu felt better, but as soon as the temperature dropped a little, she would feel cold, so she had to keep burning like this.

With a sound of "creak", the cold wind that followed caused Mu Yu, who was holding a bowl of hot soup to drink, shivered, and almost splashed the hot soup on her body. She looked up and saw that the person who came was Yang Erlang.

Yang Erlang closed the door tightly, came to the round table and sat down opposite her, handed her the cotton coat in his hand, and said,
"You should be able to wear the old cotton-padded clothes of the family."

Mu Yu put down the hot soup he had just taken two mouthfuls of, and took a closer look at the cotton-padded coat.

The style is a girl's style, the color is very faded, there is only a little light red, the size is not too big, it should be worn by eleven or twelve years old.

She politely said that you can wear it, but he obviously couldn't fit it, so she didn't ask any more questions, because she knew that the family members he was talking about must have passed away.

She compared the cotton coat to her body twice, and was about to put it aside when she heard Yang Erlang say,
"Try it on, if it's not suitable, let Granny Chen change it for you."

Mu Yu put it on and tried it on, and it fit quite well.

"Very good, wear it."

"Ah."

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Chen covered her mouth and snickered, brought Yang Erlang a bowl full of hot soup to warm him up, and then made excuses to pull Taohua away and let the two of them talk. It doesn't work if you can't see it.

Mu Yu also had some headaches, and Mrs. Chen's desire to match the two should not be too obvious.

If it's true that both of them are open-minded and don't have that kind of thought, it's fine to talk about it, the key is that this matter is a bit complicated, and I really can't spread it out...

Fortunately, Yang Erlang, like her, completely treated this matter as non-existent, saving a lot of embarrassment.

Ji Xiucai hadn't come yet, and the two had nothing to say for a while, so Mu Yu took out the jade pendant he got in the manor that he had been thinking about these days to play with.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about this jade pendant, and she is very sure that this jade pendant must not be a simple piece of jade, it must be of great use, and this use must be related to the manor.

But she couldn't imagine going any further. If she wanted to make any progress, she could only go back to the manor to check.

In this big winter, this is not an easy task.

She sighed, put the jade pendant on the table, then picked up the cold hot soup and continued to drink.

Ji Xiucai came late, and as soon as he sat down, he saw the jade pendant on the table, looked at it carefully for a while and said,
"This jade pendant is very precious, and the quality of the jade carving is absolutely outstanding."

Mu Yu was curious, "How precious?"

"In the past, I spent all my money and couldn't get such a piece."

Mu Yu thought about it, Ji Xiucai is not only a scholar, but also the patriarch of the Ji family in Jijia Village, and his ancestors had a good time.

From this point of view, this jade pendant is really not bad.

She told where the jade pendant came from, and asked the two of them to guess what it might be used for.

The two looked at each other, Ji Xiucai pondered for a while, and made a few guesses.

Mu Yu nodded and said,

"I always feel that I should know something about this jade pendant, but I just can't remember."

Ji Xiucai couldn't understand what he said, but Yang Erlang began to think about it. After a while, he said,

"Knife."

Something flashed through Mu Yu's mind, knives, long knives, jade pendants...

Yes, she still has a jade pendant, where did that jade pendant go?
She remembered that it was put into the mustard space together with the long knife, but when she was cleaning up a few days ago, she only saw the long knife and no jade pendant. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had only seen the long knife all along. What about the jade pendant?
She had a bizarre guess in her mind.

Mu Yu's face changed several times, and finally got up and went to the next room to enter the space to check.

Sure enough, the jade pendant disappeared without a trace.

Could it be that the last mustard space upgrade was related to this inexplicably disappearing jade pendant?
It's very possible, but it's not necessarily true, because the jade pendant has been put in for a long time at that time, shouldn't it be upgraded as soon as it is put in?

But there is indeed a possibility, you can find other jade pendants to try in the future.

But this jade pendant is not good, this piece must have other uses.

Although this is also a point that has been overlooked, but I knew that it was not this point that I had foreseen before, but another point.

She knew it must have something to do with the estate.

Fortunately, now there is a chance for her to find out what this point is.

What the three of them had to discuss this time was to discuss when they would go to the manor to fetch some curtains and bring them back to make clothes to keep them warm.

The weather is too cold, and their means of keeping out the cold are far from enough, so they have to make such a trip sooner or later.
