Sold all the rice.

A bag of rice weighs one hundred kilograms. After shelling, only 60 kilograms of rice can be obtained. If the grains are removed, the polished rice will only weigh forty or fifty kilograms.

After paying the tax, these rice-growing villagers will sell the remaining polished rice for money, and keep the broken rice for their own consumption. People who search for more will even exchange the broken rice for brown rice.

This way you can fill your stomach and save money.

Yan Xia has eaten brown rice here, and she always thought that the same name means the same thing.

But on the contrary, the brown rice here cannot be called rice at all, but a round particle. Because of the difficulty of threshing, it always has a skin similar to rice bran. It is light red in color and has a groove in the middle. It can be cooked into porridge or Even brown rice tastes terrible and is a bit throat-irritating.

She doesn't like it anyway.

But because the yield is large and the quality of the land is not critical, most farmers who do not have first-class fertile land will grow brown rice.

Of course, except for wasteland, where few people open up wasteland.

Because the yield is too low, the wasteland is not fertile, and there are occasionally various stones, the effort put in is completely out of proportion to the reward.

People without land would rather rent land than open up wasteland.

Although Yan Xia has been cultivating her family's wasteland for a while, this year's harvest is not as good as other families in the village.

She had seen some in the space that sold high-yield seeds, and some sold magical potions that could fertilize the soil and increase the yield tenfold.

But a small bottle costs one thousand points.

Seeds are cheaper, but still cost five hundred.

And she is a poor girl, she doesn't have a dime of points, and can't afford to climb high, so she can only make money honestly and hard.

From time traveling to now, not counting the money spent, plus the money from selling rice today.

Yan Xia had a total of 1700 taels on her body.

She plans to save more to buy a big house in the town so that she doesn't have to go back to the village every day.

The shop's business can earn an average of 30 taels a day.

If there is a new product, double the price.

Yan Xia began to become more like a Buddhist. For several days in a row, she handed over the work of the shop to her children and stopped interfering. She only checked the account books every day.

She began to research new products with great concentration. The two cows she just bought were producing milk every day, but the milk was not large and could not compare with modern dairy cows.

But buffalo milk tastes 10,000 times better than cow milk.

It's not fishy at all, and has a unique sweet smell. It tastes amazing.

The nutritional value is also higher than ordinary milk.

At the beginning, their total milk production per day was only seven or eight pounds. After feeding them delicious and delicious food for half a month, the amount of milk began to increase.

One head can give birth to 10 pounds every day.

The two ends are 20 pounds.

But it was far behind the modern cows that can produce sixty or seventy pounds of milk a day.

Before Yan Xia could develop a new product, Zuo Li brought news about Sun Duomiao.

The magistrate was kind-hearted, and because he thought of her age, he only cut off two little fingers of Sun Duomiao, slapped her with 20 boards, fined her 3 taels of silver, and put them back.

What should I do if I don’t have enough money to compensate? I can use food as compensation.

So Sun Duomiao's family really lost his wife and soldiers.

Big loss.

That’s not all.

After she returned home, she was driven out by Zhang Lizheng and the villagers without even having a meal.

A family of nineteen.

Without exception.

They carry large and small bags with nowhere to go.

The house in the village did not belong to them in the first place, but because it was unoccupied, it was occupied by them. Zhang Lizheng did not care about it, so they allowed them to live in it for several years.

They had no way to go away from Shoucheng Village.

Because of the theft, the villages around Shuangqiao Town refused to take them in.

Helpless, Sun Duomiao and her family had no choice but to run to Linxian County.

But life in Linxian County is not as good as here.

Even though they live in a village, every family is too poor to take the blame.

They could only stay in thatched huts.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the house is drafty at night. Fortunately, the family was squeezed into two rooms and didn't feel the cold. But it would be difficult if it snowed in winter.

"Mom~ What should we do? All the food has been used to make up for the money. We only have twenty kilograms of rice at home now. My wife secretly hid it. Now we can still dig some wild vegetables and tender tree roots in the mountains. When the weather gets cold, shit will be gone. Without food, will our family starve to death?"

Feng Dagen, Sun Duomiao's eldest son, said with a gloomy look.

At the beginning, he disagreed with his mother hiding so much rice. If she had concealed 50 kilograms per acre as he said, these things would not have happened at all. But my mother was so greedy that he couldn't stop her.

"Let's rent the land first, plant some radishes and cabbage quickly, and then sell the first and second girls to buy some food. My mother's fingers are still hurting and they are still bleeding. Remember to buy some medicine for my mother, oh. By the way, we're going to renovate this thatched house by the way. We haven't done any winter clothes either. Hey...everything costs money. Fortunately, you wanted to throw the first girl and the second girl into the mountains to feed the wolves, but my mother stopped you. We're in trouble. At that time, the girl’s house was a ‘life-saving medicine’!”

"I understand, mother, then you can have a good rest at home tomorrow and let the second and third brothers go rent land. I will take the eldest and the second girl to the city alone. By the way, are you going to sell them to be maids or not?"

Feng Dagen was not reluctant at all.

His expression was even a little impatient.

"Of course she's going to be sold to a brothel. Aren't you talking nonsense? A big girl is already 14, so why should she be a maid? Rich families like to buy girls under 7 years old. It's easy to take care of them, and the brothel can give them four or five taels. If she is sold as a maid, she will be sold for two taels at most, which will be a big loss. If the second girl is more beautiful, she can be married off, but she looks so much like you, my eldest brother. It's a pity that even one tael as a bride price is too much for her."

The speaker was Feng Ergen.

Sun Duomiao's second son.

Her three sons all have the same name, just with different characters in the middle.

Use one, two and three to distinguish them.

"Okay, then sell it to the kiln and sleep. There is air leakage here, so don't let the older girl and the second girl hear it."

The brothers soon fell asleep.

However, in the other room, the big girl's eyes widened.

She cried silently.

Although I was beaten and scolded since childhood, I didn’t have enough food and clothing, and I had to work every day.

But she never thought that her grandma and dad would do this to her.

She stayed up all night, and before her father got up, she took Erniu and her mother to the corner outside the house.

"Mom, I told dad to take Er Niu and I to the city to sell him today. I'm afraid. Mom, I don't want to be sold. I will eat less. I can do anything. Please go and beg. Please dad, please grandma..."

The big girl's eyes were full of tears, but she didn't dare to cry.

Her pitiful appearance did not arouse the motherly heart of the woman in front of her at all.

"Why are you crying, howling in the morning? You cried before your breasts died, and sold them. What's wrong? You don't think you can get married in a sedan chair, do you? Look at your baby, You are ugly, and your complexion is yellower than that of a woman like me who has given birth to several children. Who kind of boy without eyes would marry you? Wash your face soon and dress up freshly, so that you can sell it at a good price. In the past Don't forget about your parents and your brother when you are enjoying the blessing. Remember to secretly save money. I heard that people in brothels can redeem themselves at the age of 35. Then you can go home and give the money to your mother. She will take care of it for you. ."
