Chapter 208 208. Are you sure you want to plant potatoes?
In Cheng Xi's memory, Shen Xingqi has always been a dignified, gentle and quiet lady.
Even now when she is sorting out the soil-stained white radish, her every move still reveals the elegance unique to an ancient woman.
This is a kind of education engraved in the bones.
This reminded her of Shen Xingluo, who was taking a break among the zombies. Wearing modern casual clothes and eating a sandwich, he exuded a bookish air that no one else could match.
"Sister-in-law, can I learn martial arts from you?"
Cheng Xi never expected to hear these words.
“Why do you want to learn martial arts?”
Compared with wielding a knife or a gun, she believed that the little girl would prefer to embroider by the hot iron stove.
“I, I also want to protect you.”
Shen Xingqi's face turned red and her voice became much softer.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration. The battle in the early hours of yesterday shocked her too much. She saw her relatives in danger to protect the villagers, and she could only avoid it.
This feeling is so uncomfortable.
“Even if I’m not as powerful as my sister-in-law, I should at least learn to protect myself.”
She doesn’t want to be a drag on her family.
Shen Xingqi looked at Cheng Xi more firmly, "I'm very strong, I'm stronger than them all!"
This can be considered an advantage, right?
Cheng Xi's heart warmed slightly when she heard this. Looking at such a pair of deer-like eyes with twinkling stars, anyone would not be able to help but agree to her request, right?
"Yes, you are very strong, and our little Qiqi has great potential."
She couldn't help but want to pinch the cute little face in front of her, "But martial arts is very good. It’s hard work, are you sure you want to learn?”
"I want to try."
Shen Xingqi didn't say for sure. In fact, she didn't know if she could persist. After all, learning martial arts also depends on talent.
"If I don't have that talent, then I can train my strength. If I encounter danger in the future, I will hit them with a stick."
Cheng Xi: "."
In short, you just have to do it yourself.
This idea - it's such a great idea.
Since ancient times, weak people have not had the right to speak. If they can learn something to make themselves stronger, how could she not support it?
Cheng Xi agrees with both hands!
“Okay, you can learn from me from now on.”
“Really?”
"True."
Cheng Xi smiled, "Don't worry, even if you have no talent, I can guarantee that you can protect yourself."
You may not become a martial arts master, how many lessons can you learn? It's okay to be a little gangster, not to mention she has a big move!
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law discussed how to train in the future, and a conversation that could change the future was also held at Li Zheng's house not far away.
“Encourage villagers to buy land?”
Shen Manyun was stunned when he heard this and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Ah, why doesn’t his brain work well enough?
Just after four consecutive months of snowstorms, a thrilling battle took place early yesterday morning. Why did he buy land before he could even take a breath?
Did he get up too impatient this morning?
“Yes, buy land.”
Shen Xingluo spoke out his suggestions in an orderly manner.
“The villagers in nearby villages did not feel well at all during the snowstorm. Some people starved to death and froze to death. Some were robbed and driven out of their homes by mobs. Those with better conditions also spent all their savings to buy food.
After the snow disaster, many people are bound to sell their land. To maintain life. Every family in Shenjia Village now has a surplus of food, so it is better to buy some land to grow, which can be used as an industry in the future. "
In ancient times, farming was particularly important. For the people, land was their lifeblood. If we don’t go down, no one will sell the land.
"Uncle Mantun, I remember there were a lot of wolf skins in the ancestral hall?" "Ah, yes, there are quite a lot of them. They have been prepared."
"Uncle Zheng and Brother Lian are hunters. They have some connections in grocery stores in Fucheng. With them taking the lead, we can sell them at a good price."
Shen Xingluo said, "Wait until the money is distributed to every household. "In addition to daily expenses, it is better to exchange it for land, what do you think?"
Shen Mantun had followed his idea unknowingly, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
“Of course that’s good. I always feel uncomfortable with the extra money in my hands. I might as well buy land and pass it on to my son in the future.”
For Shenjiacun, life in the past four months has been very different from before, and the beast furs are indeed a bit like a windfall from heaven.
If all the tanned skins were sold, it would be a huge sum of money.
If it were replaced by land, the villagers would no longer have to hold so much money and feel illusory, they would suddenly feel at ease, and Shenjia Village would be even more confident in the future.
This is a good thing, a great thing.
“Don’t worry, I will tell the village once I sell the wolf skin that it will be taken care of by me.”
"Uncle Tun is full of work, and I will have to trouble you to discuss land purchase with other villages."
Shen Xingluo didn't stay long, and when he saw that his goal was achieved, he said hello to Uncle Six and left.
He didn’t say a word about the cold snap in mid-April.
Forecasting the snow disaster in advance could also attribute everything to a sudden change in weather, but the coming cold wave was so mysterious that even if he wanted to lie, he would not be able to find a reason.
In this case, let’s do it step by step.
Shenjia Village has enough land, and it has the capital to create miracles even after the cold wave passes.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the snow on the ground is melting faster and faster.
There are patrols wandering around Shenjia Village every day, and the number of people is much smaller than before. Occasionally there are a few refugees from the north at the entrance of the village. Knowing that porridge is being given at the gate of the state capital, there is no stopping at all.
Cheng Daqian felt that he could not disturb his son-in-law and daughter all the time, so he simply packed up his things and returned to Fucheng one morning.
“My dear daughter, come home when you have time.”
"I know dad, I will see you often, don't worry."
"Don't forget to bring braised meat, bacon is also available."
"."
< br>Cheng Xi looked at the tall and strong man on horseback and his mouth twitched.
The other party took away at least half of the meat products in the house, and left after hearing the exact reply.
After sending Cheng Daqian away, the Shen family's courtyard suddenly felt free. Cheng Xi no longer spent all day training and killing zombies, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
In the yard, Shen Xingqi was running around in a loose dress.
In the living room, the couple were whispering.
“Are you sure you want to plant potatoes?”
“Well, the only two types of food that can produce large amounts of land are sweet potatoes and potatoes. The growth period of sweet potatoes is too long and there is no time.”
"That's true. It only takes 60-100 days to plant potatoes, which can save a lot of trouble."
"If you raise seedlings in advance, they should mature early."
As soon as the cold snap passed, they were planted. The wheat land will be abandoned. If you want not to go hungry, you have to plant food. Potatoes, which have a short cycle and high yields and can withstand hunger, are the first choice.
As for its origin and origin?
Of course it is Shennong Mountain.
As a mysterious mountain range that spans half of the country, some people would believe even if a personal ginseng doll popped out of Shennong Mountain, let alone the potatoes that could be eaten and grown.
Shen Xingluo said it was not a problem at all.
