Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Early the next morning, old man Zhang was wearing winter clothes, while Zhang He was wearing the quilt stuffed with hay. The father and son went from house to house to pay off the debt.

In a season when everyone is precarious, it is already a great kindness for others to lend money and grain to their father and son.

So this time, besides repaying the debt, the father and son would like to express their gratitude to everyone.

The old man Zhang divided the boiled beans left over from last night into many small portions and prepared to give one to each family to express his feelings.

The first is Zhang Laoqi's family. Almost half of the debts Zhang Laoqi owed in the village were borrowed from Zhang Laoqi.

When the old man Zhang put the five cents he owed and two catties of corn in front of him, Zhang Laoqi was taken aback.

"You father and son raised money so quickly? Don't worry about my debt, I should be able to get through this winter.

You should repay the debt of the fourth steward first. The fourth steward keeps saying that he wants to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, but in fact he eats people without spitting bones. "

"Thank you old brother for your kindness, the debt of the fourth housekeeper has been paid off."

Zhang Laoqi was shocked when he heard the words, but he knew how much old Zhang owed.

Now it's icy and snowy everywhere, and it's difficult for everyone to survive, so how do you repay the debt with the money?

"I tell you, you must keep it a secret..."

So old man Zhang reiterated that Zhang He met the immortal master of Yu Jianfei, and then repeatedly told Zhang Laoqi to keep the secret.

Next, the father and son went to several other houses in the village to pay off their debts.

In the same way, Old Man Zhang publicized Zhang Zhao's encounter with the Immortal Master, and before leaving, he told him to keep it a secret.

It's almost known to everyone, how can you keep it a secret?

But Zhang He didn't say anything, he made it up by himself anyway.

At the same time, let him decide in his heart that the secret of space must not be known to old man Zhang.

After all the debts were paid off, the father and son breathed a sigh of relief. It was a great feeling to be free from debts.

When repaying the debt, Zhang Zhao also let Zhang Zhao see that among the villagers in Zhangjialing, there is no wealthy family.

The land, mountains, forests, and rivers around Heishui Town are all owned by Wanjia in Heishui Town.

These villagers are all tenants of Wanjia, and they mainly rent land for farming. In addition, whether they go into the mountains to collect firewood or go into the water to fish for fish, they have to pay a portion of the money to Wanjia.

The fourth housekeeper who lent money to Old Man Zhang was the agent sent by Wanjia to manage this area.

The more Zhang He knew about the world, the more hopeless he felt, the more depressed he felt.

Everything here belongs to Wanjia, and even the land for their thatched house was set aside by Wanjia for the tenants to live in temporarily, and it can be taken back at any time.

In this world, where there is still a place for him to stand, how should he survive?

If the natives were born and raised in this world, even if they were cows and horses, they might be able to spend their whole lives in the dark.

But he has a soul from the twenty-first century of the earth in his body, especially since he was born in a prosperous and stable country where he can eat meat at every meal.

But now it's useless to think too much. The more you think about it, the more despair you will get. At least he still has an acre of land in the space. If he uses it well, he shouldn't starve to death.

Zhang He entered the space with consciousness, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the sweet potato planted the day before yesterday was already covered with vines on the ground.

After searching around the house, he found a **** and a hatchet, all of which were brought into the space by him.

Using a hoe, I shoveled out the roots of the sweet potatoes.

He planted five sweet potatoes the day before yesterday, and these five sweet potatoes have now doubled in size, and several small sweet potatoes have grown at the roots, adding up to a total of twenty-three.

Zhang He piled the sweet potatoes aside, collected all the sweet potato vines, and cut them into two or three sections with a knife.

Sweet potatoes are mainly propagated by vines. As long as the sweet potato vines are inserted into the soil, they can live. After these sweet potato vines are cut, they should be enough for cuttings.

When the sweet potato vines in this area grow up, you can cut the sweet potato vines into cuttings, and you should be able to fill this acre of land with sweet potatoes soon.

When all the sweet potato vines were cut, he was already dizzy and unable to support.

He is just an illusory figure formed by spiritual thoughts in the space, and it is very laborious to do anything in it.

After realizing the space, he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he found that it was already dark, and the old man Zhang was sitting in front of the bed, looking at himself with worry.

Seeing Zhang He open his eyes, the old man finally felt relieved: "He'er, don't worry about anything, it scares me to death."

"Dad, how long have I slept?"

"You've been sleeping since you returned from paying your debts in the morning. You've slept all day."

Speaking of which, old man Zhang had brought over a bowl of corn porridge, which was also mixed with a lot of wild vegetables.

Although Zhang He said that he can live on dry food now, but the old man Zhang was still not at ease and did not dare to be so extravagant.

Boil the porridge a little thicker and put less wild vegetables on it.

Actually, old man Zhang felt that the corn was still too expensive, so it would be more cost-effective to change some weed seeds and the like into the porridge tomorrow.

Zhang Zhao took the pottery bowl and took a bite into his mouth with chopsticks.

After swallowing the juice, there was only a lump of wild vegetables left in the mouth, bitter and woody, making it difficult to swallow.

This kind of wild vegetable is excavated in summer and autumn, directly dried, and stored until winter. It tastes almost like chewing cow grass.

It took a lot of effort for him to swallow this bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

"Father, will we eat dry rice from now on?"

"Stupid boy, don't go and find out. In the entire surrounding of Heishui Town, only the gentlemen of the Wan family can afford to eat.

We tenant farmers can be content with having one or two meals during the festivals. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The immortal master will keep the money for you first. When you get through this winter, I will marry you to a wife. If you still have money, you can buy another mu of land, and we will have hope in the future. "

The old man Zhang is careful, and has already helped Zhang He plan a happy life in the future.

"Father, is it too early for me to marry a wife at the age of sixteen?"

Zhang Zhao felt that his life should not be so mediocre, that he might be able to make a name for himself.

"You're stupid. Of course, you're marrying a child bride, so you can save a lot of betrothal gifts and add a small labor force to your family."

The old man Zhang's eyes flashed with shrewd eyes, and he had a feeling of strategizing.

"Let's stock up on more food now, and when next year's green and yellow season is over, there are people who can't make it through. As long as you give it a bite, you can get a daughter-in-law.

Let me tell you, when the time comes, you have to choose those with thick waists and strong legs and dark skin, those with thin skin and tender meat, and those with small arms and calves, don't choose them.

If you like it, you can marry a few more. "

At this moment, Zhang He can already imagine what his future daughter-in-law should look like.

The two communicated for a long time, and it seemed that it would be difficult to persuade Old Man Zhang to eat dry meals every day.

He couldn't take out the remaining 500-odd pennies. The family had a lot of money and food, and it was easy for thieves to spread it out.

After all, hunger and cold are thirsty, and people can do anything when they are driven to a dead end.

Zhang He made up his mind that he would have to rush to cook the rice in the future. He would cook the raw rice first, and the old man could not eat it.

This is not entirely a problem of gluttony, but the most basic nutritional needs for people to survive.
