Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Hearing that the iron plates and iron troughs could be brought back tomorrow, Jiang Zhengmao went to Jiang Boliang to discuss selling the horses. The money to buy the wasteland had already been paid, and it would not take long for them to open up wasteland. They had to buy cattle and plows.

This effort would cost a lot of money, so it was better to sell the horse as soon as possible to relieve his anxiety.

Jiang Huaixu sent away the sisters-in-law and sisters from various families who were doing spice work. He heard his uncle and father discussing things, and he went to listen.

After hearing about plows, she recalled that in her original memory, the plows in this world were all straight plows, not the more flexible and labor-saving curved shaft plows. If they could be improved, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Uncle, I saw in a book that there is a kind of plow that is very labor-saving. Tomorrow I will draw the picture and let Brother Shi try to make it."

Jiang Boliang was slightly surprised, "There is also a book about farm tools?"

"Of course there are. There are also books that teach people how to farm."

Jiang Zhengmao believed deeply in his niece's words, "Okay, let's make it and try it."

Jiang Huaixu nodded in agreement, then told the two about growing garlic in the cellar, and suggested that people who went to the county town bring back some garlic.

Jiang Zhengmao knew that vegetables were valuable in winter and that as long as he could grow garlic, he could make money. Jiang Zhengmao agreed without a second thought.

After settling the matter, Jiang Huaixu went to Jiang Dalang to settle the previous account and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Jiang Huaixu heard the sound of a carriage leaving and the sound of pounding medicinal materials in a daze.

After getting up, she sat at the table and spread the paper on the table. She took out the charcoal and drew on the paper bit by bit. After drawing the eleven parts of the curved shaft plow one by one, she marked the data bit by bit. Zheng Liniang's voice called her to eat.

She responded, put down the charcoal, and walked out of the house with her neck curled up.

In the morning, Jiuxi Village was covered with frost. White and clear frost flowers were dotted on the yellow-brown fallen leaves, making a "creep" sound when you stepped on them.

Although it's fun, it's really cold.

Compared with dinner, breakfast is much simpler, just one pancake, one porridge, and some pickles.

The wild animals brought back before were stripped of their fur and hung under the eaves. The furs were taken by Jiang Boliang to Niu Bo's house to be tanned. Qian Xiuzhu said that the tanned skins would be used to make boots for the children at home.

No matter how good the shoes were, Jiang Huaixu had worn them, but she didn't know if it was because of her physical condition, but a small expectation and secret joy arose in her heart.

Jiang Huaixu's family ate at home. There were not only pickles on the table, but also tomato scrambled eggs cooked by Liu Ye'er, and stewed rabbit meat.

Since one of Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Liniang made tofu and the other made big pot rice, Jiang Tao asked Liu Ye'er to cook the meals at home, and she helped light the fire.

The two of them didn't want to eat for nothing and wanted to do something, so Qian Xiuzhu agreed.

Zheng Liniang had been busy all morning, and she finally took a break. She took a bite of tomato scrambled eggs, and her eyes lit up, "This tomato scrambled egg is very delicious."

"It smells so good~" Jiang Sanlang couldn't even raise his head after eating, but he didn't forget to express his feelings.

Jiang Wei bit her chopsticks, eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot, "Mom, Yaomei said tomatoes can also be mixed with sugar."

Qian Xiuzhu gave Jiang Rong a piece of eggs with chopsticks and said regretfully: "It's just three tomatoes. I've finished them all. If I had known, I would have left some seeds, so we can plant some next year."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll get some seeds in the spring."

After dinner, Jiang Erlang went to the most secluded room on the east side of his house to warm up his books as he said yesterday, while Jiang Huaixu took the needle pack to give Jiang Tao acupuncture.

Jiang Tao is sitting in the stove, pounding spices.

"Auntie, I'm here to help you with acupuncture again."

After taking medicine and acupuncture, Jiang Tao's legs are almost healed, but there is still a slight limp when walking and pain after standing for a long time.

Jiang Tao put down her work and said, "Sister Xu, I think my leg is almost healed. Do I still need acupuncture?"

Now she does not need to get acupuncture every day, but once every three days. Seeing that Sister Xu is so busy all day long, she still bothers to remember the time for acupuncture, which makes her feel bad.

"Don't worry, aunt, today is the last day, and you have finished drinking the medicine. As long as your legs are not tired in the next month, your legs will be the same as before."

"Eh, that's good." Jiang Tao was very happy.

When her leg was broken and she had no money for medical treatment, she thought she would become a cripple in the future. At that time, the injuries on her daughter's face and the location they were in made her resentful and desperate.

If Sister Xu hadn't found them, she didn't know if she would have survived to this point.

She was grateful in her heart but stupid in her mouth. She could only do something to help her brother and sister-in-law's family.

After carefully helping her aunt with the needle, Jiang Huaixu returned to the house to further refine the drawing. After confirming that there was no problem, she trotted to find Shi Tao.

"Brother Shi, I'm here to trouble you again."

On an early winter day, Shi Tao was so tired that his face was covered with sweat. He wiped away the sweat and picked up the cold porridge and poured it into his mouth. He almost choked when he shouted.

"Didn't I tell you that there is so much work scheduled now? What work can I do tomorrow..."

As he said this, he turned to look at the person who came and saw Jiang Huaixu holding a stack of paper and looking at him expectantly.

"Hey, Girl Xu, tell me what you want to do, and your brother Shi will make it for you first."

Jiang Huaixu noticed the bowl in Shi Tao's hand and the pancakes and pickles next to it, and said hurriedly: "Brother Shi, you haven't eaten yet? You eat first, I'm not in a hurry."

"Huh - was that the picture you drew?" Shi Tao saw the drawing in Jiang Huaixu's hand with sharp eyes and was quite interested.

Jiang Huaixu had no choice but to hand the drawing in his hand to Shi Tao.

Shi Tao put down the bowl and wiped his hands and took it. He was immediately attracted by the different parts on the paper. After looking at them for a while, he asked in an uncertain tone: "Is this a plow?"

Jiang Huaixu nodded, "I read the pattern in the book and wanted to see if it would be easier to use than an ordinary plow."

The more Shi Tao looked at it, the more he felt that the plow made according to the drawings was definitely not bad. He carefully put the drawings aside and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, I will designate it for you, and wait patiently."

Jiang Huaixu said "Hey" and went to see how everyone was grinding spices. The women were careful and the spices they ground were also fine. They were talking and grinding in the sun, enjoying themselves.

After looking around and answering many questions, Jiang Huaixu took the garlic soaked in water, drained it, and went down to the cellar.

She bought these garlics at the mall, and she soaked them in water the day after she decided to grow yellow garlic.

Plant them one Gulu after another on the nutritious soil, and finally cover it with a layer of nutritious soil and sprinkle with water.

She stood up, looked at her results, and reminded herself that she would water her crops every four or five days.

It's early October now, and garlic can be harvested in January. By November, there will be a lot less vegetables on the market, and they can be sold by then.

I chose to grow garlic yellow because it not only does not require sunlight, but it can also produce two or three crops.

After another busy day, Jiang Huaixu put the pounded powder into cloth bags, took them all into the room, weighed them according to the proportion, and mixed them together.

In one day, I weighed more than ten kilograms. I wonder if the sisters-in-law will be able to lift their arms tomorrow.

Jiang Huaixu thought about it and felt that he had to set a time, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it.

The noise outside the window interrupted her trance.

She hurriedly tied the bag with a rope and left the house.

What came into view were ten strong cows. The villagers who heard the news ran out of their homes, cheering and jumping, looking at and touching the cows.

Someone stood on the bullock cart and boasted: "You didn't see it! We attracted a lot of people's attention when we drove the cart out in the morning, and when we came back we drove so many cows, hahahahaha! Dafeng Village next door People almost had their eyes popped out..."
