How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chen Feiyan tried to comfort her, but in her heart she felt that ancient rural life was not comfortable or free at all.

The productivity of ancient rural areas was really too low.

I work hard to plant an acre of land and take care of the crops diligently every day.

Pulling weeds, plowing the soil, watering, fertilizing, and removing insects, they used to do it every day.

Moreover, Chen Feiyan always felt that she could not finish the farm work at home.

Just finished one, and another one came.

Chen Feiyan does repetitive work every day.

Sometimes when she thought about it, she felt that there was no point in doing such a thing.

Chen Feiyan heard Chen Yuan say that everyone in the world is suffering. He also said that nothing in life is easy.

Chen Feiyan is thinking now that there are exceptions to everything. Try to be the most special exception yourself.

She should work harder and harder now so that her life will be easier in the future.

"Dad, it suddenly occurred to me that our family can not only grow peppers, but also other things, such as Chinese herbal medicine."

Chen Yixuan asked curiously: "What Chinese herbal medicine do you want to grow?"

“After you sow, will anyone harvest?”

Chen Feiyan stretched out her fingers and began to break them one by one. "I know honeysuckle, cassia, and wolfberry. I also know their efficacy, and I also know the environment in which they are grown. Dad, maybe the weather will get warmer this year, and we can grow these."

"Before that, you can go to the county town and help me find out more about the prices of various Chinese herbal medicines."

"At that time, I will choose what to grow at home based on the prices of various Chinese herbal medicines."

After Aunt Sun heard this, she suddenly interrupted: "Mother-in-law, can you grow licorice?"

"There is a Qianjin Pharmacy in our county. Their family bought licorice medicine on a large scale a few years ago. My brothers were very lucky at that time. When they were visiting me on the way to my ex-husband's house, they discovered a licorice in the mountain stream. A lot of licorice. They carried it back to the county town and sold those things to Qianjin Pharmacy. That time, they got a full two hundred cash."

"And they kept some of the licorice at home."

"It was precisely because of this that we later learned that my father's prescription contained such a main ingredient - licorice."

When Chen Feiyan heard her say this, she did not agree directly, but nodded with a smile on her lips.

"Daughter-in-law, I will carefully consider this matter you mentioned."

"Don't worry, if the price of this medicine is high, our family will definitely plant a large area of ​​it."

After deciding what to plant after spring, Chen Feiyan suggested again: "Dad, we must buy a big iron pot this year no matter what!"

"Every time our family uses a casserole for fried rice and vegetables, I feel terrified. I'm worried that I might accidentally damage the casserole."

To be honest, the casserole is not as useful as the big iron pot.

The large iron pot can be used for dry stir-frying, stir-frying, and dry roasting.

Can be steamed or boiled.

Chen Feiyan has always been accustomed to eating stir-fried vegetables.

In her eyes, boiled vegetables cannot be compared with stir-fried vegetables.

Chen Feiyan found the dishes fried in the big iron pot to be very delicious.

Especially the fried rice noodles.

She doesn't think it tastes good if she doesn't fry it in a big iron pot.

Recently, Chen Yixuan has been hearing his wife say, "big iron pot, big iron pot...", and he knew that his wife was determined to buy a big iron pot.

However, although things like iron pots are good, they are too expensive.

In this dynasty, salt and iron had always been the exclusive business of the government. Therefore, anything that is monopolized by the government is very expensive.

Chen Yixuan asked in the county town last year how much a large iron pot with a diameter of one meter would cost.

At that time, the blacksmith stretched out five fingers and told him, "You must prepare at least five taels of silver!"

Five taels of silver..., what is that concept?
This is too expensive.

Although the blacksmith told him: "A large iron pot, if it is one meter in diameter, weighs about eight kilograms."

However, Chen Yixuan still felt that it was not worthwhile to spend money on buying iron pots.

Chen Yixuan was not willing to spend money to buy an iron pot, but when he saw his wife mentioning the iron pot every day, he hesitated and nodded.

"Daughter-in-law, okay, I will listen to you. If you say to buy an iron pot, then buy an iron pot."

"But, can the iron pot we want to buy be smaller?"

Chen Feiyan was surprised and said: "Why buy a small one? A small one is too unrealistic?"

"We have dozens of people in our family, and there will be more and more people in the family in the future. You can just bring back the big iron pot, and then I can cook the whole family's meals at once. If you buy a When the little pot comes back, I still have to score a few points. What a waste of time..."

When Chen Yixuan heard his wife's complaint, he nodded and said, "Okay then, our family will buy a big iron pot!"

When Aunt Sun heard her mother-in-law forcing her father-in-law to nod and insist on buying a big iron pot, she asked with concern.

"How much does a big iron pot cost?"

Chen Yixuan stretched out five fingers: "The blacksmith said that a new large iron pot, one meter in diameter, costs at least five taels of silver!"

Aunt Sun was so frightened by this number that her throat broke.

"What?! An iron pot costs so much? Why don't they grab it? It's not a pot inlaid with gold or silver, so why is it so expensive?"

Aunt Sun's family has always used casseroles.

Clay pots are used to cook rice and medicine, and boil water to make soup.

Their family has never used iron pots for cooking.

As for her rich uncle, the shopkeeper Wang who looked at the grain store, although he had a small iron pot at home, she had never asked him about the price of the iron pot.

Now that she learned that the iron pot cost five taels of silver, Aunt Sun couldn't help but blame her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

They are really crazy.

She knew she didn't have much money at home, but she insisted on spending so much money to buy an iron pot. What was going on in the mother-in-law's mind?

So does my father-in-law. Why are his ears so soft?
How could he, a grown man, tolerate his wife's misbehavior?

Where can I get food for the iron pot?

She would rather buy food with five taels of silver than buy an iron pot.

Chen Feiyan didn't care what she was thinking.

Now whenever she thinks that she will finally be able to eat stir-fried vegetables in a while, her heart will be filled with joy.

It's not easy, it's really not easy.

It has been more than four years since she traveled to this backward and feudal ancient countryside. After eating boiled and mushy vegetables for so many days, she has really had enough!

The food is always boiled with water, which is tasteless and tasteless at all.

If the vegetables are stir-fried in oil and some crushed red peppers are sprinkled inside, then the vegetables will taste more fragrant.

Chen Feiyan really didn't expect that life in ancient rural areas would be so difficult.

It has become a luxury to have a delicious meal of stir-fried vegetables.
