Chapter 59 Chapter 59

She has also walked among ordinary people in the cultivation world before, and she has never seen plowed land plowed by people.

A kind of beast called "bearded ox" is used to pull the plow, and people only need to hold the plow behind.

Why don't people in this world use beasts to pull the plow?
Besides, manpower farming is really slow.

It took a long time to turn over one ridge. At this speed, it would take at least a day and a half for Si Shan and the others to turn over this acre of land.

If they use beasts to plow the land like those people in the cultivation world, the speed will be much faster.

So Si Qing took advantage of Si Shanhe and Wu's rest and asked them why they didn't use animals to cultivate the land.

After hearing this, Si Shanhe said with a good-natured smile: "Grandma, you mean to use cattle to plow the land? In fact, there are people who use cattle to plow the land, but those are from rich families. The cattle are so expensive. One head costs at least five taels of silver." Well, if you want to cultivate land, you need at least two oxen, and now you need ten taels of silver, which ordinary people can’t afford.”

"So many?" Si Qing was a little dazed. She had seen cows, and Si Zhengping's family had one. It was so big, and there was more than enough arable land. Why did you need two?

Seeing Si Qing's puzzled expression, Si Shanhe smiled and said nothing more.

He was already very tired from pulling the plow, and he really didn't have the energy to talk. After a short rest, he continued to plow the land again.

After Si Qing returned from the field, he asked Si Zhengping again about Niu Geng's land.

The result obtained is also the same.

Si Qing thought for a while and thought that there might be something wrong with the tools used to cultivate the land in this world.

She has seen many ordinary people plowing the land in the cultivation world, and the "bearded cows" they use are not as big as the cows here, but one is basically enough.

"You can play outside. I'm going to the study, don't come in and disturb me." Si Qing went back to the yard, told Si Xizhu, and plunged into the study.

After spending a whole day, Si Qing finally drew a model of the tools used for plowing in the cultivation world according to his own memory.

Then he went to Si Zhengping with the blueprint, and asked him to go to the blacksmith's shop to make a plow according to the blueprint.

"Grandma, why do you want to do this?"

Si Zhengping didn't quite understand the blueprint, but when he mentioned going to the blacksmith's shop to plow, he instinctively felt a little pained.

Iron was very expensive, especially the plow, and Si Zhengping didn't think that Si Qing's drawings could produce anything good.

After all, he has never seen a plow like this in more than 50 years of life.

"What's wrong with me wanting to do this? Just let you go and go. Why do you ask so many questions?"

Si Qing couldn't tell that Si Zhengping didn't trust him, and she didn't have a good temper about it. Anyway, he didn't dare to say anything when she got angry.

This is the benefit of high seniority.

Si Zhengping really didn't dare to get angry, but he dared to be verbose.

"Grandma, if you want to make fun of it, can I ask Zhao Daxi to make you a wooden one later? You don't need to go to the blacksmith shop, it's too expensive."

When Si Qing heard this, he directly put two small silver ingots of ten taels in front of him: "Is it enough? Is it enough for me to change it for a bigger one?"

Si Zhengping: ...

God knows he didn't mean that!

"Grandma, I don't mean to ask you to pay for it, I mean it's not worth it to go to the blacksmith's shop!"

"Whether it's worth it or not? I want you to tell me? I'm an aunt, can I not know? Come on, stop talking, if you don't go, I'll go by myself!"

Si Qing pulled his face straight away, turned around and was about to leave.

When Si Zhengping saw her, he hurriedly pulled her back: "Grandma, I'll go, as long as I go, don't run around!"

My aunt was beautiful, if she ran out alone, she might be photographed by Huazi.

The more Si Zhengping thought about it, the more frightened he became. When he left, he still reminded Si Qing, "Auntie, don't leave the village alone. I'll go to the blacksmith shop in the county town tomorrow. Don't worry!"
