Chapter 309 Secret

Farming is very particular about the farming season. In order to compete for a few days in the summer harvest, many farmers have to work day and night, and some even live in the fields.

In the past two years, Qili Village had a bumper harvest. Zhou Dalang, Tuesday and Wednesday lived in the fields in order to seize the farming season. Sometimes, even if they were too tired to straighten their waists, they had to harvest by moonlight and firelight.

Otherwise, a year of hard work may be in vain when it rains.

Generally, after the rain, the summer harvest can come to an end. Everyone has to collect the hemp, peel it out, soak it, beat it, comb and divide it, then weave the hemp, and then take it to the river for washing and beating...

The process is cumbersome and labor-intensive. The last thing that the children of the old Zhou family likes is harvesting hemp, and the adults do the same.

Because most of the spun linen was handed over to the county government as a blend, in addition to the woven linen, each person had to hand in three kilograms of linen.

To this end, Lao Zhoutou planted rows of hemp on the ridge and field ridge at home, and planted two or three circles of hemp at the foot of the mountain between himself and Zhou Dalang and Wednesday Lang.

This thing is drought-resistant and good work, but the craftsmanship is more heavy, but their family can still have some linen to make clothes every year, and other families with a small population may not have extra linen to make clothes.

And the linen made by the old Zhou family is really not good, and Manbao doesn't like it very much. She remembers that she only had a new linen, and it turned red not long after she put it on.

Later, her mother took it back and took it apart to make clothes for herself.

After wearing it for half a year, I dismantled the worn linen clothes to make clothes for her.

The clothes that Manbao wears in summer are mostly linen clothes made from old clothes worn by her mother and sister-in-law. Only in winter, she wears clothes made of cotton bought from the county seat.

So for Ma, Man Bao didn't like it either, so she blew her hands on a few nephews, and then put a candy on their palms.

A group of children were instantly comforted, and immediately became happy. While peeling off the candy, they went home with Man Bao.

Man Bao took out a pen, wrote down all the things he needed and the quantities and handed them over to Datou, "My friend still wants to buy these things, you bring two heads and they will find them for me, remember, cabbage caterpillars have to live long enough. . Just in case, you bring back a little more, and then pick some more big leaves and bring them back to pack for me."

He knew all the characters on the paper, and it wasn't difficult to understand, but what he didn't understand was that it was an argument for who would buy bugs.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be a pound?

Or even a fight.

But it seems a good thing that my sister-in-law's guests are stupid, right?

Datou only glanced at the paper and patted his chest and Manbao to assure that there was no problem, and then asked with a hilarious smile: "Little aunt, the beans at home have been collected, can you tell the second uncle and take us to the county town in a few days to play. Son?"

Man Baole, "I know, you want to sell the candy in your hands, right?"

A group of children looked at Man Bao and laughed.

Man Bao said: "Second brother will definitely not take you there, but fourth brother should be fine."

Erya's eyes lit up and she asked, "Fourth uncle is going to the county too?"

"Of course, when the crops of Master Bai's house are finished, I will go up the mountain with my fourth brother to find Fuling, and then let the fourth brother go and help the second brother."

If they could still find Poria, Man Bao secretly kept a small piece, and then cut it into several pieces and sold it.

The encyclopedia gave her 200,000 reward points, so she would sell it for 150,000, and it would be almost the same if she sold two copies.

This is the conclusion that Man Bao thought after looking at a series of lists of his own last night.

She found that the higher the points in the encyclopedia, the higher the value here.

For example, tuckahoe and tree sparrow, which have the highest points now, aside from tree sparrow, tuckahoe is the most expensive thing their family currently sells.

On Tuesday, Lang asked shopkeeper Zheng, and shopkeeper Zheng said that all these things are wild and cannot be grown, so they are very precious.

Precious and more effective, it becomes more valuable.

But they are selling raw tuckahoe. Zhou Lang secretly inquired about it. The processed tuckahoe is of good quality, and the price has more than doubled.

No wonder drugstores are so expensive.

However, Man Bao feels that no matter how expensive it is, it will not be as expensive in the future.

She knew that points were more expensive than copper coins, and a small piece of Poria was worth 200,000 points.

Man Bao laughed like a little mouse, making Bai Shanbao look at her again and again.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he reached out and knocked on her head and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Man Bao looked left and right, and finally stared at Daji who was sitting in the corner.

Daji:  …

Bai Shanbao also stared at Daji.

Daji silently got up, opened the door, and walked out of the study.

He looked in the yard, and finally found a tree to squat. From here, he could see the two children in the study through the window, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.

Seeing the good luck going out, Man Bao immediately leaned into Bai Shanbao's ear and whispered, "If I have a lot of things that are very scarce in my hands, do you think it would be better for me to exchange them all for money, or to barter?"

"Are those scarce things of high value to you?"

After thinking about it, Man Bao said: "Some are tall, some are not; some are rare, and some can be seen everywhere."

"Then what do you want in exchange for them?"

After thinking about it, Man Bao said, "Wheat seeds? Or other interesting seeds."

Today, Datou and the others proposed to go to the county seat. Obviously, they wanted to exchange the candy in their hands for money, but Man Bao knew that the candy business in the county seat might not be easy.

In this world, there is a currency that is harder than candy, and a lot of value can be created with only a few points, such as ginger.

The five kilograms of ginger seeds she bought at the beginning looked much more expensive than candy, but just last year, it made a lot of money for the Zhou family.

Its value has long exceeded the seed money she paid.

In addition, the wheat in Lao Zhou's family is much better than other families this year.

When she went out to Bai's house just now, many old people in the village came to Zhou's house and were discussing with the old Zhoutou about wheat sowing.

Although this year's wheat hasn't been harvested yet, everyone saw it when it was harvested. Now the whole village knows that the wheat of the old Zhou family is the best, and it is a little better than that of Master Bai.

Some of the wheat ears were long and full, so the old people in the village wanted to exchange some seeds with the old Zhou family.

A good ear of wheat is a good seed, and a good seed can always grow a better ear of wheat. A farmer who has worked all his life does not know anything else, so he still knows the most basic common sense of seed preservation.

Others may not know why the wheat in the old Zhou family is better than others in the flood, but Manbao knows.

Because she secretly changed some wheat seeds in the spring.

Man Bao is considering whether to buy another batch of wheat seeds in exchange for some wheat.
