Happy Farmer's Life

In the next few days, Du Weiming was very busy. First, he went up the mountain to pick a lot of olives, and he asked the village to buy 3 cans of pickles at a price of 10 Wen per can. (Because pickles are worthless in the village), and in the end a total of 15 cans of olive vegetables were made.I kept 2 small cans for myself.There are also 5 cans of Tianze olives, ready to try the market.When he went up the mountain the next time, he dug a few traps and caught him 2 hares and 2 pheasants. Du Weiming decided to try raising them first.I surrounded two railings with bamboo, and kept rabbits and pheasants inside. When I have time later, I will make two decent chicken coops and rabbit coops.

When Du Weiming's pickles were almost ready, and the day for the market arrived, Du Weiming had already prepared them, and the village chief came to call him.The village head helped to put the twenty cans of pickles on the bullock cart.The condition of the village chief's house is good, and there is a yellow ox, which just comes in handy.When they arrived in the town, it had been more than an hour, and Du Weiming only had eight coins on him, and the rest of the money was bought for him to buy pickles.He didn't know whether the olives could be sold or not.

The town is called Pingfu Town, and it is quite big.As the village chief came to Shopkeeper Fang's store, the village chief signaled Li Er to bring some pickles to Shopkeeper Fang to taste. After tasting the shopkeeper, Fang said that he might be able to sell it, but the price could not be too high. After all, these are pickles, but I have never tasted this kind of pickle, and it has a strong fragrance.If they agree, try to take them to Tianxianglou, which is one of the better restaurants in town.

The shopkeeper of Tianxiang Building nodded in agreement after tasting the olive vegetables, and finally gave a relatively good price, 10 yuan for a can of olive vegetables, and 15 yuan for a can of Tianze olives, and agreed that he would ask Du Weiming to collect olive vegetables every month in the future and sweet Ze olives.Du Weiming never thought that he could sell twenty cans of pickles for 225 renminbi.In fact, Tianxianglou wanted to ask Du Weiming to buy this recipe, but Du Weiming refused to sell it.Du Weiming didn't come forward to sell vegetables. The village head and the shopkeeper helped him talk about it. No one would have thought that such a young child could sell things.

Walking out of Tianxiang Tower, Du Weiming took out 50 Wen to give to the shopkeeper. After all, without him, he would not be able to sell these pickles at all.The shopkeeper Fang declined. He knew Du Weiming's situation. We used to be from the same village, so we would help if we could.Let Du Weiming go to his store to buy any daily necessities in the future, and ask him for help in the future.The village chief went to sell his newly hatched chicks, so Du Weiming went to his shop with the shopkeeper, and bought some clay pots, salt, pepper and other seasonings, and specially bought some flower seeds.Salt is more expensive and costs 20 renminbi a catty. Du Weiming bought 2 jin. Seasonings are about 3 renminbi and 5 renminbi a catty. Expensive, so I bought some of each, clay pots are the cheapest, the small ones cost 1 renminbi each, and the large ones cost 2 renminbi each.The pancreas and the saponin each took 2 pieces.Pancreas is our modern soap, which is used for bathing, and saponin is our modern soap, which is used for washing clothes.I bought some miscellaneous things, and spent a total of 120 Wen.The money in his hand came and went quickly, Du Weiming felt that he had to work harder, and went home to figure out how to make money.

I left the things I bought at the shopkeeper, and went to pick them up when I went back.Du Weiming went to the village head, and the village head sold almost all chickens, and there were some left. Du Weiming agreed with him to keep 5 chickens for him.After agreeing on a reconciliation time, Du Weiming wanted to go for a stroll in the town.I went to a pork stall and bought 2 catties of pork for 10 Wen per catty. Du Weiming ordered 2 catties of meat, which were more fat and less lean.There is no corn oil or soybean oil in this place, and what we eat at home is lard.Du Weiming actually doesn't like to eat lard, so he can't help it now. He thinks he can try to make some other oil when he has time.After shopping around, I learned about the general situation of Pingfu Town, and it was time for the reconciliation, so Du Weiming didn't dare to buy more things.The money in his hand was only 93 Wen, and Du Weiming thought he had to keep some money in his hand, otherwise there was no urgent matter, and he really had no money around him.

After meeting with the village chief, they went to the shopkeeper to pick up the things, and the two went back to the village together.The village head left 5 chickens for Du Weiming, and Du Weiming took 50 Wen to give to the village head.On the one hand, it’s the chicken’s money, and on the other hand, the village head helped him buy some pickles today, and he also wants to give some money, and he may have to trouble the village head in the future.After all, he is only in his teens now, so many things are not convenient for him to do.The village chief was very angry and refused to accept his money. After arguing for a while, the village chief finally accepted 20 cash, which was the money for the chicken.The rest will never want again.Du Weiming thanked the village chief a few times and then went home.

After returning home, putting down his things, looking at the remaining money in his hand and the things at home, Du Weiming felt that his first pot of gold was considered a success.The 2 rabbits and pheasants in the family, and the 5 chickens all have to eat.I went to the river to cut some grass and fed the rabbit first.For pheasants and chickens, Du Weiming cooked some bran and wild vegetables, let them cool down and prepared to feed them.I bought pork, cut off the fat and boiled lard to fill up the original lard tank. It is estimated that I can eat it for 2 months.For lard residue, Du Weiming added some salt to it, it was a meat dish.I was not willing to eat lean meat, so I decided to save some bamboo shoots from the mountain and fry them together.He cooked some porridge himself, put some shepherd's purse in it, paired it with the olives at home, and ate a few pieces of lard residue, which was his dinner.

A pot of hot water was boiled in the pot, and Du Weiming prepared to take a bath with the newly bought soap.There are two places that Du Weiming can't get used to when he came to this world, one is that he can't wash in the shower, and the other is the toilet.Scoop out some of the hot water in the pot and put it in the wooden basin, and then mix it with the cold water in the water tank. Du Weiming finally took a bath for the first time.I thought in my heart that if I had the conditions after a while, I must build a bathroom.The toilet turned out to be an earthen pit behind the house, so Du Weiming decided to renovate the toilet first.

The next day, Du Weiming first made an appointment with Aunt Zhang next door, and asked him to help pickle 20 cans of pickles at 3 Wen per can.Aunt Zhang is quite happy, after all, this is also income.Then I went up the mountain to pick some bamboo shoots and cut some bamboos.Since I didn't have time to set the trap recently, and there was no prey in it, I set the trap again.It is estimated that some of the olives will be ripe in ten days at the earliest, and he will almost be able to make olive dishes again when he thinks about it.I also picked some mushrooms. With previous experience, it took Du Weiming half a day to get it done this time.

Du Weiming came back after cutting a lot of bamboo from the mountain one after another. He felt that there should be enough for toilets and railings.If there are many, I want to surround a chicken coop and a rabbit coop.But building bamboo is far more difficult than imagined. Du Weiming broke open the bamboo and dried it in the sun. He wanted to tie the bamboo up with a rope, but his body was too weak to tie the bamboo firmly.Later, the village head next door asked his three sons to help. Although Du Weiming was not a few years older than Du Weiming, his strength was about the same as that of an adult. With their help, the railing and chicken coop were quickly completed.With their reminders, the rabbit nest is made into a nest similar to a big basket, and bamboo is also used at the bottom to prevent the rabbits from burrowing and escaping.Du Weiming himself really didn't expect this, and there were their tips and help.

Du Weiming put a lot of effort into the design of the toilet, and it was really stressful for him to squat in that pit every day.A slope was built 50 meters behind the house, and he chose the toilet there, and dug a big hole down the slope.Use bamboo to stand around it, and put bamboo on the top.From a distance, it looks like a small house. Du Weiming and the village chief agreed to ask the village carpenter Zhang to help him make a thick wooden plank. He would step on the wooden plank to use the toilet on it, and then flush it into the pit below. , so that it can be composted without feeling afraid.

At the same time, I also asked carpenter Zhang to help me build two cabinets, several boxes, and new tables and benches. I also asked him to help me make some clean veneer boards.Du Weiming felt that since he had already asked for help, it would be better to buy all the necessary things at once, otherwise he would be embarrassed to trouble others all the time.Du Weiming told the village chief that he was embarrassed to ask Uncle Zhang to make so many things for nothing, and some money would be counted as manual expenses. After all, it took him so long to help make things.
