Space farmer girl: I hoarded food and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 40 Chapter 40
At noon, the Shen family had a very rich meal.

The stir-fried pork belly with two sides was really delicious, and the family of three almost couldn't eat it.

In the afternoon, the heavy rain turned to light rain.

Shen Shuangshuang went to Aunt Wang's house to borrow a coir raincoat, and went to the backyard to transplant the remaining cabbage.

When it was about time, the light rain stopped.

Shen Shuangshuang went to Aunt Wang's house to pick up three loads of dung water, and then poured the transplanted cowhide vegetables in the ground.

Next, it is up to the cowhide seedlings to strive for success and work hard to grow.

After finishing the work, Shen Shuangshuang went to Wang's house to return the coir raincoat and asked Aunt Wang to come to the house to help.

Tomorrow I will deliver 150 kilograms of tofu to town. In order to ensure timely delivery, I have to start making tofu today.

Aunt Wang agreed without saying a word, and even called Wang Erya to join her.

Shen Shuangshuang hurriedly stopped him, saying that there was no need for so many people.

But Aunt Wang said, it’s raining today and it’s okay for my daughter to stay at home. There’s no charge for helping.

Shen Shuangshuang had no choice but to comply.

When they arrived at Shen's house, the three of them got busy.

"Shuangshuang, you girl, you have a long-term vision. Before, I thought that when you paved the road, you spread gravel on the ground, which wasted time and hurt your feet."

"It's only when it rains that I realize what you did is so smart."

"Those roads in the village will become muddy after a few trips after it rains. You paved these roads, but there is no mud at all."

"And your yard is not paved with blue bricks, and it is very dry." Aunt Wang walked to the kitchen with the soy milk, stepped on the small gravel in the yard, and praised it.

"The bad thing is that you use these stones to cover the soil. It is not conducive to feeding chickens, ducks, etc., and it is not easy to clean up after pooping."

"Haha, it's okay, auntie, my family is not going to feed chickens and ducks." Among other things, she doesn't like chickens and ducks littering and making the house stink.

As for Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei (the little dog), they are both easy to deal with.At least it doesn't run around like chickens and ducks, so it won't poop everywhere.

"Oh, why don't you feed me? Your house produces so much bean dregs every day, even Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei can't finish it!"

"Not to mention feeding chickens and ducks, even if you feed a pig, you will still be successful!" Aunt Wang said.

When Aunt Wang mentioned feeding pigs, Shen Shuangshuang became even more resistant.

"No, I have no experience raising livestock." Shen Shuangshuang said.

Aunt Wang still wanted to persuade, but Shen Shuangshuang quickly interrupted.

"We have enough work at home, but now I can't handle all these things."

"Auntie, you can take those bean dregs back with peace of mind. In addition to feeding Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei, I will also use them for fertilization if you don't want them."

"If you really feel sorry for me, you may lend me more excrement water in the future." Shen Shuangshuang said.

If the okara is fried, it can actually be eaten when made into bean okara cakes.

But Aunt Wang couldn't bear to waste oil, so she only ate two meals of bean dregs and fed the rest to the pigs.

Bean dregs are something that no one can get used to.

It is good food for livestock.

With the bean dregs provided by her family, Aunt Wang’s family can save a lot of pigweed every day.

"Oh, that excrement is just sitting there. If you want it, just pick it up yourself!" Aunt Wang said.

"Haha, thank you auntie!"

"Thank you for what?! You girl, you just talk about foreign things!"

There is harmony in the Shen family yard.

While Shen Shuangshuang and others were busy working, Master Liu came.

Shen Shuangshuang was a little surprised, thinking that Master Liu wouldn't come if it rained.

After assigning the work to Aunt Wang and her daughter, Zhao Shuangshuang went to talk to Master Liu about cooking the stove.

Zhao Shuangshuang took Master Liu to see the scene, and then gave his general requirements.

Master Liu took measurements on site and then made an estimate.

"Ms. Shen, as before, I'll give you two choices." "First, we'll bring the materials and build the stove for you directly. You'll pay [-] coins."

"Second, I will make a list of materials for you, and you can buy them yourself and transport them back. In this way, you only need to pay 180 wages."

"It's relatively simple to set up the stove. Two people can finish the job in half a day." Master Liu said.

"I can just buy the materials myself." Shen Shuangshuang said.

We have a donkey cart at home, and we go to town every day.

The materials can be transported back by the way.

It’s just a stove and doesn’t use much material.

Even if she couldn't finish it in one trip, she might as well make one more trip.

"Sure!" Master Liu responded.

"Your job is short this time."

"Let's see if you can prepare the materials tomorrow. Then the next morning, I will bring someone over to help you cook the stove."

"Of course!" Shen Shuangshuang said.

She was eager to set up the stove as soon as possible so that she could make tofu in the yard.

Master Liu chatted with Shen Shuangshuang for a few more words and left in a hurry.

Shen Shuangshuang then went back and continued working with Aunt Wang and her daughter.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye.

No one in the village dug ginseng on the mountain, and finally fewer people went up the mountain.

Some people were angry, saying that Shen Shuangshuang must be a liar, as there was no ginseng in the mountains.

Some people also stood up to refute, saying that if ginseng was so easy to find, it wouldn't be so precious.

Xiao Shen was able to find it because her father-in-law asked her in a dream.How could anyone else have that kind of luck?
No matter what, the craze for digging ginseng in the mountains has passed.

But then, word spread in the village that the Shen family was selling tofu.

It is said that Mr. Shen drove a donkey cart to Shangyang Town every day to sell tofu, and he would sell hundreds of kilograms of tofu at a time.

There was also a stove in the Shen family's yard, and they were busy from morning to night.The Shen family even hired Aunt Wang and her daughter to help with the work.

It is said that the wages are paid well.

As for the salary, some said they would pay [-] cash, some said they would pay [-] cash, and some said [-] cash. Anyway, it attracted the envy of many people.

Li family.

Today is Li Guodong’s ten-day holiday.

As soon as he returned to the Li family, Li Guodong heard about the Shen family.

"Son, your fourth aunt and the others are simply too much!"

"Your grandparents are so sick. Their family got ginseng, but they don't even show any respect."

"By the way, that idiot has recently started a tofu business. I heard that he delivers it to the town every day. I don't know how much money he makes!" Mrs. Zhang found Li Guodong and complained angrily to her son.

She was really angry. Since her parents-in-law got sick, they spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine.

Forget about spending money, it's better not to see you again in old age.

My father-in-law needs to be fed now. If he eats porridge, his water will flow.

My mother-in-law is fine, but she keeps getting startled at night.

People would rather she be like her father-in-law, so as not to make noise that would disturb everyone's sleep.

It didn't matter that the Li family was so unlucky, but the Shen family was getting better and better, which made her teeth itch.

It was her son who had previously told her not to provoke the Shen family, otherwise she would leave early in the morning.

She had been holding in her anger for a long time. After finally waiting for her son to come back, she couldn't tell her son?
Well, it’s true that her son actually didn’t let her go to the academy to find him.

Otherwise, why would she wait until now to tell him this.
