Farming in time travel can be slapped in the face

Chapter 14 Thoughts

The further they walked, the softer the soil became, but it was not enough to sink their feet. The two came to a pond full of cress. Shen Jiyao used a sickle to peel away the celery and took a look. Only then did he realize that there was not much water in the pond. , there are some duckweeds floating on the shallow pond, and withered plants are spread on them, which must be celery roots.

Shen Jiyao frowned, worried that there would be more leeches in such an environment. If Lan Qianjue went down barefoot, she would be afraid that her legs would be covered with leeches again. It would be great if she had a pair of long water shoes. Where can I get them? He was afraid of these things. When he was thinking about what to do, he suddenly had an idea and found another business opportunity.

There are so many things that didn't exist in ancient times. Take these water shoes for example, they have extraordinary uses. If they could be made, you can imagine how popular they would be. There are also things like raincoats and rubber shoes that are essential items for farmers. If he could do it one by one, wouldn't he be afraid that he wouldn't be able to make any money? Thinking of this, Shen Jiyao was happy, but the top priority was to make a living first, and it wouldn't be too late to consider doing other things when he had money.

It seems that these celery cannot be cut back today, but he is determined to get this pile of wild vegetables, but not now. He said: "Forget it, let's not cut it for now, let's go back."

Lan Qianjue waited aside for a long time. He went down by himself while waiting for him to speak, but unexpectedly he heard this sentence and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"There are many leeches." Shen Jiyao said: "You have to find something to protect your legs before going down. "Let's go home first and wait until I think of ways to protect my legs."

Lan Qianjue didn't insist, after all, the other party was worried about him.

The two of them walked towards the river bank. Before leaving, Shen Jiyao took a look at the pond where he caught fish before. At that time, Lan Qianjue muddied the water and he did not see the structure of the pond clearly. Now the water is cool at first. , and then I could see the whole picture of the pond clearly. There were a lot of aquatic plants in the pond. The fish must have been hiding under the aquatic plants. It would be difficult to find them if you didn't look carefully.

If no one notices this place, they will have a stable supply of food in the near future.

He had planned to catch all the fish in the pond and put them in a treasure bag, but he gave up as soon as he thought about the scene where Lan Qianjue's legs were covered with leeches.

If someone really discovers it, let them fish it out.

All the way back to the village, Shen Jiyao was thinking about how to make a pair of simple water shoes.

After returning home, he continued to sit under the locust tree and bask in the sun and think, but it was always difficult to realize what he came up with in his head. Although he had seen and worn it before and knew what the material was, let alone the rubber in his hand, even if he didn't have rubber in his hand, Yes, even if you ask him to do it, he can't do it. He is a typical person who has eaten pork but does not know how to kill pigs.

After thinking about it, he fell asleep without thinking of a countermeasure.

Lan Qianjue was busy making lunch after moving the rabbit cage out of the house. Since Shen Jiyao told him about the treasure bag, their staple food is no longer just potatoes and sweet potatoes, but also some rice and noodles. However, The amount of rice and noodles was very small, and the treasure bag was mostly filled with seeds. There wasn't much rice and noodles at all. I was afraid that it would only be enough for about half a month. On the other hand, I had to prevent the family from finding out and becoming suspicious, so I didn't take out too much.

When he came out of the house to make a fire, he saw Shen Jiyao sleeping under the tree. Lan Qianjue smiled helplessly, then picked him up gently, put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. He sat down He held Shen Jiyao's hand and rubbed it for a long time before going out to light a fire and cook.

When Lan Qianjue finished lunch, Shen Jiyao didn't wake up. Lan Qianjue looked at the man who was sleeping well and didn't plan to wake him up. She could just wait until he woke up before eating.

After having lunch, he went to the back of the room to find the bamboo pieces he had cut the year before to make bamboo baskets. Occasionally, he would look back at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed, feeling warm in his heart and raising the corners of his mouth involuntarily. Smile, I have a family, I have a family, and now I have an unborn child. Although my life is not as good as I want, and everyone is betrayed and separated, as long as Shen Jiyao is here, even a worse life is enough.

Of course, the status quo will always change. Naturally, he is reluctant to let Shen Jiyao live with him in this small house, and he has to always watch the faces of the people in the yard and the gossip of the villagers. , he wants to give Shen Jiyao the best life, let him follow him in glory, and will no longer be looked down upon by others. As long as he works hard enough, he will not worry about being able to support Shen Jiyao and his children.

Just thinking about these scenes put Lan Qianjue in a good mood, and her slender fingers steadily and powerfully weaved several bamboo strips together, gradually taking shape.

Shen Jiyao woke up from a nap, and Lan Qianjue was sitting in the room with her back to him, weaving baskets. Shen Jiyao rubbed his eyes, feeling inexplicably warm at this moment.

He sat on the bed and looked at Lan Qianjue's back, and suddenly felt that if there weren't people who were always trying to trick them to look down on them, even if they only owned a small house and a few fields, it would actually be pretty good to just farm and raise poultry. Ordinary life is the most pleasant, but it is unsatisfactory.

He sighed secretly and got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked to Lan Qianjue. Lan Qianjue looked up at him and said, "Wake up, I'll heat up food for you."

He put down the bamboo stick in his hand and started to eat it. After getting up, Shen Jiyao said hurriedly: "It's okay. It's hot today. It's good to have something cold. Why are you making bamboo baskets?"

Lan Qianjue sat down and said: "Pack grass."

Shen Jiyao knew that he Referring to the grass that rabbits eat, he nodded and sat down at the table to eat.

Today's lunch is still boiled fish and rice. Because there is no iron pot for cooking, Shen Jiyao can't do anything if he wants to cook. There are too many things missing at home, but fortunately, the ancient pure natural fish tastes very good, Rao Even though he ate it for several days in a row, he didn't feel tired.

Lan Qianjue looked up at Shen Jiyao from time to time, and after a moment he suddenly said: "Have you thought of a way?"

"It's a way." Shen Jiyao drank from the still warm fish pond and said, "You can find an old one. You can use some trousers to seal the trousers and put them on your feet, but it's not easy to operate, and you don't know how deep the mud pond is. Forget it, let's not do it. It's too troublesome. I'll go find some wild vegetables on the ridge tomorrow. Just come and eat."

Lan Qianjue said, "There is a pair of unwearable pants in the cabinet. If you want to eat, go ahead and cut it off."

Shen Jiyao hesitated for a second while holding the fish soup, but still said: "Forget it. "

Lan Qianjue stopped talking and was busy knitting the bamboo baskets in his hands.

The second day.

Lan Qianjue took up the burden and went out early, saying that he was going to cut some grass. Shen Jiyao was looking through the potatoes he had covered a few days ago, and nodded without thinking much.

Lan Qianjue left the village, walked up the river bank and walked straight to the pond.

When he arrived at the pond, he didn't make any preparations. He straightened up his trouser legs, picked up the sickle, and went straight into the pond.

It's just a pond. It's like a daily routine for him. He has followed his brother and sister-in-law to plant rice since he was a child. Everyone goes to the fields barefoot and doesn't care about leeches at all. Even if he does, it's already. Once you get used to being bitten, there will be nothing to fear.

The pond was not very deep, and it only reached the calf when one stepped on it. Lan Qianjue took the sickle and started to cut the celery neatly. The crisp and tender celery was easy to cut. Moreover, Lan Qianjue's technique was very good, and it was only short. It took less than half an hour to get there. If we kept going at this speed, I would probably finish it in less than half an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, the celery in the pond had piled up in a pile beside the pond. Lan Qianjue came up to the shore to cut the celery in another pond.

The sun above his head gradually became hotter. Lan Qianjue's forehead was covered with fine sweat but he didn't care. Just thinking of Shen Jiyao's surprised expression when he returned later, he couldn't help but laugh. Even if Shen Jiyao didn't want him to Coming to cut cress, Shen Jiyao was actually thinking about it, and he understood.

After harvesting all the celery in several ponds, Lan Qianjue went down to the river to wash off the mud on his feet, took out the specially brought fire flint and burned a few leeches on his legs, and put on his straw sandals to carry a load. I took two loads of celery to the river beach where I washed my clothes and washed them carefully to make sure there were no leeches on them before returning home.

It was already noon when he got home, and Shen Jiyao happened to go out with a basin to pour water. When he saw Lan Qianjue coming back with a load of tightly stuffed celery, he was immediately stunned.

Lan Qianjue didn't see his surprised expression. Instead, he looked dumbfounded as if he had something on his mind. He couldn't help but feel nervous. He stepped forward and put the load under the tree. He walked up to Shen Jiyao and was about to ask. Asking him what was wrong, he saw Shen Jiyao let go and put the tub on the ground, then came up and hugged his waist.

Lan Qianjue: "..."

Lan Qianjue was startled by this sudden hug, but she didn't know that Shen Jiyao had already been moved by him and felt soft in his heart. He tightened his arms and hugged the other person's waist even more tightly. He didn't know it for a moment. What should I say? Maybe he is the only one who cares about his own thoughts the most.

It took Lan Qianjue a few breaths to react, and then he raised his hand to wrap around Shen Jiyao. He slightly curled his lips and smiled, feeling soft in his heart.

The two hugged each other quietly, surrounded by the sweet fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers. The gentle breeze blew, and a gust of wind blew away the pink Sophora japonica flowers that had fallen all over the ground.

The door creaked, and the sister-in-law led Erdan out of the house. She happened to see the two hugging each other. She hurriedly covered Erdan's eyes and cursed loudly: "You are just pretending to be in public in broad daylight. I don't know what's going on at home." You are such a shameless child. If you want to do something scandalous, go back and close the door before you do it. Don't dirty our eyes!"

Shen Jiyao let go of his hand and ignored his second sister-in-law. He looked at Lan Qianjue and said, He pursed his lips and smiled, then walked over to look at the water celery.

"It's so tender, it's probably very refreshing when soaked in it." Shen Jiyao said with a smile.

Lan Qianjue smiled and said, "How do you do it? I'll do it."

"You have to find a big jar first." Shen Jiyao said, looked at Lan Qianjue and said, "We don't have one at home."

"It's okay." Lan Qianjue Jue said: "I'm going to find one."

At this time, the sister-in-law led Erdan past the two people's house to go out. She sneaked over to see what the two were doing and saw that they had brought a load of pigs to feed the pigs. Grass, her curiosity was suddenly aroused. She slowed down and was thinking about whether to stay and see what they were planning to do. When she saw Shen Jiyao picking up a piece of pig grass to feed the rabbit, she immediately snorted with disdain. With a loud sound, he held Erdan's hands and feet and walked out of the yard without stopping.

I thought they were used for cooking, so I wanted to stay and have a look, but they were used to feed rabbits. After seeing fish and wild vegetables at the well last time, my sister-in-law began to be jealous of the two of them, even though The two of them just ate some wild vegetables that she didn't recognize, and she also wanted to get some.

The life of the Lan family is actually not very prosperous. Although Mr. Lan is the village chief, the life of the other families is not better than that of other families. Being the village chief only brings more power and prestige, but these few fields are not as good as the ruins. But the house blinded the sister-in-law. She was afraid that the old man would drug the two of them.

Because there is not enough land for farming, the eldest brother Lan Qianjian and the second brother Lan Qianming work in the town to make money in their free time. In the eyes of outsiders, this family is very good at making money, and their life must not be bad. However, it is just enough to make ends meet. For no other reason, Lan Qian Jian and Lan Qianming like to drink, but when they go out to work, they just get drunk. Therefore, when the sister-in-law saw that the two of them suddenly got so much pigweed, she naturally became curious. If it was an edible dish, she would also I had to get some to eat, but I didn't know it was for feeding rabbits.
