The farmer who traveled through time

Jin County is a small county town, and it is only 20 miles away from Linjia Village. If an adult walks fast, he can walk there in about an hour.Yesterday, I made an agreement with the Li family at the east end of the village, and I got up early today to go to the county.

The Li family has a few cows in their village, and when they are not busy on weekdays, the men of the Li family can use bullock carts to pull customers in exchange for some copper coins.Originally, when the farming season was busy, it was time to use ox carts, but there were many men in the Li family, and everyone finished their work early yesterday. The old man in the family was infected with the cold again. The old man grabs the medicine, and Lin Shuisheng can also take advantage of this opportunity to ride the bullock cart of the wind.

It was still daylight, and there were five or six people waiting in front of the bullock cart. They, like Lin Shuisheng, wanted to make progress.I called for two copper coins for transportation, and soon arrived at the county seat.The bullock cart stopped at the entrance of a shop that moved to the county town to do business in the village. Li Da and everyone agreed on a time to go back, and let everyone go about their business.Speaking of which, although the county seat is not very far from Linjiacun, the original owner of the body rarely has the opportunity to go to the county seat.This rare trip to the city is not only necessary to buy some necessary daily necessities, but also to think about ways to make a living and make a fortune in the future.After Lin Shuisheng separated from the others, he went to the pharmacy here first.

The clerk at the pharmacy saw Lin Shuisheng coming in, walked out, and said, "Brother, what do you want?"

"Excuse me, do you collect herbs here? I have some honeysuckle here. I don't know if you take it or not?" Hearing Lin Shuisheng mentioned honeysuckle, the guy looked at Lin Shuisheng in surprise.They also often have villagers here to give some herbs, but most of the time they can't name them, even if they recognize it, it is honeysuckle. You must know that except for a few doctors, few people know the name honeysuckle.

"Take it, show it to me." Lin Shuisheng heard the other party take it, and took out the honeysuckle from the package on his back.Before last night, I deliberately tidied up the honeysuckle flowers again, and they were very clean, and they looked very good in appearance.The man nodded in satisfaction. These honeysuckle flowers are five or six years old, and the medicinal effect is much better than that of one or two years old.

The demand for honeysuckle and their pharmacy is relatively large, and it is like this that many of the ones sent up are first-year or two-year-olds. At present, although the young man is sending up a small amount, the quality is very good. "Your honeysuckle is not bad. If you sell it, I will give you five cents for every tael. It's also because your honeysuckle has a lot of years, and it's only three pennies per tael for the two years sent by others." I was also satisfied with this honeysuckle. , the man said a few more words, "If you still have this quality in the future, we will accept it here."

Five cents was cheaper than expected, but Lin Shuisheng still agreed.When I came here, I specifically inquired about the people in the same car. There are several pharmacies in the county.Lin Shuisheng watched Li Da go out of the pharmacy, then turned around and saw someone he didn't know walk in.

Lin Shuisheng didn't collect a lot of honeysuckle in two days' work, only about five catties, and here one catty is equal to 16 taels. He exchanged these honeysuckle for exactly 420 copper coins.Lin Shuisheng took the copper coins from the clerk. This business was a no-cost transaction, and he made almost half a tael of silver in about two days. Thinking about such a large honeysuckle field, Lin Shuisheng smiled.

It must not be known to outsiders. Fortunately, the package he was carrying when he came here made an excuse to fool him.In the future, if you go to the city to buy herbs, you can no longer make an ox cart.Money came easily and went faster. The copper coins that Lin Shuisheng had just obtained went into other people's pockets before they were warmed up.Lin Shuisheng's home is almost impoverished, with no walls, and there are too many things to buy.It was a rare time to spend money on making an ox cart, so Lin Shuisheng naturally took this opportunity to buy back all the things he could use.

For the next few days, he will go to the fields to till the fields.Lin Tiezhu's land was also slowly added when he returned to Linjiacun.The fifty acres of land were not all concentrated in one place, but scattered on both sides of the village according to the quality of the land.Lin Shuisheng's allotment was nominally five mu of land, but in fact, only less than three mu of land could be cultivated, and the remaining two mu of land was almost waste land.The two acres of land was allocated to Lin Tiezhu before, near the river outside the village. More than 20 years ago, there was a flood on their side, and the two acres of Lin Tiezhu's land was covered by the flood, and there was no harvest for a whole year.It's the same, Lin Tiezhu left Linjiacun.

When he came back many years later, although the flood subsided, the two acres of land were completely abandoned.Land is the most important thing for farmers, but the location of these two acres of land is really not good. After the disaster, the soil on that land is no longer suitable for them to grow millet and corn, and it is often flooded every year during the rainy season. , no one wants to work there anymore.After Lin Tiezhu came back, although he was reluctant to part with the two acres of land, he could only let it go to waste. This time the family was separated, Zhang Cuilian immediately threw the two acres of land to Lin Shuisheng.

The first thing Shuisheng bought was an oil lamp. It was really difficult to live without a lamp at night, and his three candles were completely useless.Lin Shuisheng was very familiar with oil lamps, and relying on the memory of the owner of his body, he bought the cheapest one that cost ten cents a pot.Because the smell of this kind of oil lamp is not very good, the price is also much cheaper, and these country people all use this kind of oil lamp.But what Shiro used was another slightly more expensive one.After buying an oil lamp, I bought salt in a nearby shop.

There are two bags of grain and cabbage in the house, firewood can be obtained locally, and I have three bowls and two pairs of chopsticks for myself. Although the bowl is broken, it can still be used.Lin Shuisheng didn't want to buy it either, but Lin Shuisheng couldn't help it. Last night, the wind leaked into the house. No matter how much he covered his body, he was still shivering from the cold.

The price of the window paper in the miscellaneous store made Lin Shui feel heartbroken. He bargained for a long time in spite of the shopkeeper's eyes, and finally bought three chapters of window paper at the price of [-] cents a piece.This window paper is different from ordinary paper, thick and strong, a piece of paper is almost a window can be used for more than a year.After buying these, Lin Shuisheng went to the farm tool seller in the west, bought a pickaxe, a wooden plow, and the hoe that was distributed to him was almost enough.Farm tools are a lot of money, and Lin Shuisheng bought two farm tools for half a tael of silver after grinding them for a long time.

After buying farm tools, Lin Shuisheng finally went to the pork stall. He was reluctant to buy suet, so he could only buy some water and oil to go home.When I was buying oil, I looked at the pig intestines thrown in the bucket next to me, my eyes moved, and I asked the price.At present, people who eat meat are not interested in these products, and few people buy them. They are usually bought by poor people who are reluctant to sell meat, and they are very cheap.

Looking at Lin Shuisheng's clothes right now, he probably came from the nearby countryside. After realizing it in his heart, he said, "We don't just sell these, you can take all the twenty coins you want." There is a bucket at the foot of the pork stall. A vat full of offal offal.The meat buyer next to him shook his head when he heard what the butcher said. Twenty cents can almost be exchanged for a catty of pork. If he is willing to spend money to sell pork, who would want these unpalatable offal to go into the water?Seeing the hesitation on Lin Shuisheng's face, the butcher didn't take it seriously. It's better if these things can be sold, and if they can't be sold, they can fill their stomachs at home.

"Shop, it's cheaper. How about fifteen Wen? You see, I bought oil and there's only so much left. Can you make it cheaper?" Twenty Wen can almost have about four catties of offal. Naturally, Lin Shuisheng would not miss out on such a bargain.But looking at the expressions of the people next to him, Lin Shuisheng knew very well that the price was not very fair, so he naturally had to bargain.The butcher didn't expect that such a poor farmer as Lin Shuisheng really moved his mind. It would be great if these things could be exchanged for money, so he put down the butcher knife in his hand and started bargaining with the other party.After going back and forth, he finally bought this for [-] Wen, and Lin Shuisheng added another [-] Wen to replace the dilapidated and colorless wooden barrel at the butcher's feet.

"It's really cheap for you. When I bought this wooden barrel, it cost [-] Wen. Now I'll give it to you for [-] Wen. I'm at a big loss." The butcher complained while handing the wooden barrel to Lin Shuisheng. "Okay, Butcher Zhang, look at your wooden barrel, it's all the same, that is, this little brother has nothing to put in it, so he will spend money to buy your barrel, five cents is a lot." The businessman next to him said. joked.When Lin Shuisheng went back with big and small bags, Li Da was already waiting there. Seeing Lin Shuisheng coming over, he helped him put the things on the ox cart.

Of course, he also knew about Lin Shuisheng's being separated from his family. Lin Shuisheng was divided into five taels of silver in total, and these things cost more than two taels of silver. He was still young and greedy, so why did he buy those things.Li Da's gaze saw Lin Shuisheng carrying the buckets into the water, and shook his head in disapproval.

Every year, the rich people in the village will also kill pigs, and the farmers are used to being poor, so they can't tolerate a little waste.But these things have a strange smell when they are made, especially the pig intestines have a strange smell in them no matter how they are made.Twenty Wen can sell a catty of high-quality pork, how can you buy these.
