Bu Yao was stunned.

Never opened up wasteland?

Seeing her expression, Lao Wang thought for a moment and explained, "We are not outsiders, and our ancestors have never left here for generations. The fields of each family are basically handed down from their ancestors, or they were bought and sold by the people in the village who own the fields. . The ones who opened up wasteland were the first batch of our ancestors to settle here and farm."

Only then did Bu Yao react belatedly.

Well, she was negligent.

After thinking about it, she asked again, "Then, don't you have anyone to open up additional wasteland?"

Old Wang frowned, "Do you think it's that easy to open up wasteland? You need both people and tools."

After saying this, she lowered her head and continued working.

Bu Yao pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Also, there are only a few families in the village now, and each family has either a small number of people or a poor family. Some of them have few people and poor family resources, so it is really not possible to open up wasteland.

Just think about it, if they didn't spend money to mobilize most of the strong labor force in the village, and just rely on the four of them, master and servant, to open up wasteland, huh, they don't know how long it would take the monkey year and horse month to complete the work.

After thinking about this, Bu Yao felt that she had really asked a stupid question.

No matter how difficult it is, land reclamation is inevitable.

Otherwise, it won’t work without a field.

It's not that Bu Yao is obsessed with farming. The key is that the meaning above is clear, which is to let them open up wasteland and cultivate land.

This has nothing to do with their subjective wishes.

Next, Bu Yao continued to go to the mountains to collect mountain products every day, and occasionally went to see the busy work on both sides.

Just like that, about half a month passed.

It's getting colder.

Not only Bu Yao, but also people are burning kangs one after another. On this day, the genius was bright, and Bu Yao and the four of them got up early.

After a brief breakfast, Gu Yi hitched the mule to the carriage and moved several sacks out of the house.

Lao Wangtou and his wife also got up and were preparing breakfast in the kitchen room.

Hearing the commotion in the yard, Lao Wangtou came out to take a look. Seeing Gu Yi moving sacks, he asked, "Xiao Yi, are you going to the city to sell mountain goods again?"

Bu Yao and the others have received a lot of mushrooms this month by picking them themselves and collecting them from other families in the village.

Every time there were three to five sacks, they would be transported away by mule cart.

Buyao thought that there was only one shop in the city that collected mountain goods, and she was worried that people in the village would ask casually when they went to sell things. It was made clear from the beginning that these things were not sold to shops in the city, but to a businessman who traveled around.

No one knew who this businessman was, and the villagers had nowhere to ask.

Gu Yi turned around and answered Lao Wangtou, "Yes."

He has always been a man of few words, and now Lao Wangtou and the others are used to this. Listening to his concise and to the point answers, they no longer feel cold.

Old Wangtou looked at the bulging sack, and he was actually very curious.

Although Buyao and the others didn't say it explicitly, they could all tell that they should have made some money by selling these mushrooms these few times.

You don't need to ask carefully to know that the price given by the unknown businessman must be not low, otherwise why didn't they sell it to a shop in the town?

I just don’t know the exact price it was sold for.

He was really curious, but he didn't dare to ask.

After all, I had asked before and she obviously didn’t want to answer.

While she was talking, Bu Yao came out. She was covered with a thick cloak, which wrapped her whole body tightly. Only her face was exposed. Her face was already very small, but it became even smaller when it was covered by the hat. .
