The lunch was joyful and sumptuous. Those who brought clay pots drank meat soup, and those who did not bring clay pots ate meat.
Even the Boy Scouts were extremely obedient. After learning that Sister Ling had such good aim that she went out to exercise every day regardless of rain or shine, they spontaneously formed a "Squad of the Xia Liuwan Brigade."
They agreed that as long as "Sister Ling" was doing exercises, they would not fall behind.
And at the strong request of the team members, Qiu Yuling performed a set of military boxing taught by the principal with an expressionless face, and for a while, the sound of humming and laughing echoed throughout Chaigang.
What Qiu Yuling didn't know was that this laid a solid mass foundation for her to become famous for being forced to fight in the future.
Soon, Mr. Qiu and his group came back, with unshaven beards like savages. Mother Qiu rarely cooked a dry meal in winter and stewed a smoked chicken. Although she usually scolded and was strict with Mr. Qiu, she was actually more afraid of losing her husband in middle age than anyone else.
Late at night on the 257th day after arriving in this home, Qiu Yuling finally heard the "whisper" between the couple.
She was so frightened that she remained conscious in her "farm" the whole night.
The results were gratifying. Unexpectedly, with her active intervention, her land ushered in its first upgrade, and now the crop maturity cycle of the secondary land has been shortened by half.
Because she had a ranch, she didn't keep too many supplies in reserve, but sold them directly to the system mall. Regardless of price, she just wanted to save trouble!
One acre of rice yields 2,500 jin, and two acres are exchanged for 2,500 points; one acre of grain yields 2,000 jin, and two acres are exchanged for 2,000 points; one acre of corn yields 1,800 jin, which is exchanged for 900 points; one acre of potatoes yields 5,000 jin, which is exchanged for 2,500 points; one acre of melons and one acre of vegetables each yield 2,000 points.
The harvest from the four acres of land was in the form of points. She calculated that based on the current exchange rate in the system mall, and at a ratio of 1 to 1.25, she could earn real money.
It's rare that the exchange rate is high now, but this little money is still not enough to move people. Self-production and self-sales may not earn as much as the black market, but it has the advantage of no risk. What can she do now that she has exchanged the money?
The prices of coarse grains outside have been driven up to sky-high prices. Even if the prices were increased tenfold, there would be nothing to buy.
She is not yet at the age where she can spend money outside, so it would be a waste to change it now.
The orchard was also growing well. The saplings she cultivated with points last time had a 100% survival rate. She looked at the poop of the animals on the farm and felt it was a waste, so she spent ten points and clicked the composting button. The orchard also ushered in its first upgrade.
The maturity cycle of secondary orchards has also been shortened by half.
However, the energy she gained from walking was also depleted. This means that upgrading each section of the farm is not a one-time process; it requires quantitative changes to achieve qualitative changes.
Qiu Yuling didn't know when she completely passed out, but in any case, owning her own house was imminent.
When she opened her eyes the next day, she was the only one left in the huge kang. It was rare that no one was at home. Qiu Yuling thought about it and locked the main door, the main room door, and the small room door. After locking the three doors, she slipped into the space.
All her money was gone yesterday, and the consequence was that her thatched hut was upgraded to a small wooden house. If not now, when?
The appearance of the house has become much more refined, and the furnishings inside the house are more complete than before.
She still remembered that the kitchen utensils she had received as rewards from Kousou had to be activated with points coins before they could be used. Money is meant to be spent, and Qiu Yuling was not vague. She looked at the package price, and one hundred points coins were required to activate the entire kitchen. It was a good deal!
She first used a dough mixer to knead some dough, and then she hurried out to see if the bathroom was equipped. Before, she had to find various red willow bushes to sit under like a pheasant digging a nest, but now she would be able to sit on the toilet.
It was just as she expected. It cost another 100 points to activate the package, which was totally worth it.
She took a comfortable bath and rubbed off layer after layer of dirt and scabs on her body.
Standing in front of the mirror, I didn’t expect my skin to be so shiny after washing.
The noodles were ready, and Qiu Yuling couldn't wait to roll out a bowl of noodles. Her vegetable garden was now rich in species, and she didn't dare to make any elaborate dishes for fear that her family members would come back.
I quickly cooked a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers and made a bowl of old duck soup in a pressure cooker.
Apart from the crops being able to feel different growth cycles, the speed of time flowing inside and outside did not change much, so she did not dare to stay any longer and came out after finishing the "important matters".
Open the door and disguise the "battlefield".
When Mrs. Qiu came back, she saw her little daughter emptying the water basins one by one...
"God damn it, what are you doing in such a cold weather? What kind of bath are you taking?"
Qiu's mother is a good person in every way except that she is not good at saying nice things and gets angry too easily. This is Qiu Yuling's evaluation, but she only dares to mutter a few words in her heart.
Seeing that she was in a depressed mood, Mother Qiu didn't talk back as usual. After she calmed down, she pulled her over to wipe her hair and burned the fire a little more vigorously.
"Stay here and bake. I'll go cook." After wiping her hair half dry, Mother Qiu told her not to go out unless she was doing something else, and then she went to do her own thing.
When Mr. Qiu came in, he saw his little daughter's face buried in her rabbit fur coat. Her little face was so red from being baked that she looked like a doll in a New Year picture.
He reached out and handed her a piece of rock candy. When Qiu's mother saw it, she didn't say anything to stop him, but just asked him where he got it.
While warming himself by the fire, Mr. Qiu happily said that it was given to him by his brother Jianjun. Qiu Yuling knew that Qiu Jianjun was their team leader, and in a sense, he was Mr. Qiu's cousin, as the two were descendants of the same grandfather.
Mr. Qiu still had a few pieces of crushed rock sugar in his hand, and he handed them to Mother Qiu while talking. Mother Qiu wiped the water off her hands, carefully took it, tore off the paper from Qiu Yuling's old notebook, wrapped it up and stuffed it into the box.
Seeing Qiu Yuling staring at her, he threatened her, "Don't eat secretly, or you'll get a stomachache."
Qiu Yuling......
Is she someone who is thinking about candy? She is lamenting the poverty she has reached.
After a while, Qiu Dashu also came back. The first thing he did when he entered the door was to give candy to Qiu Yuling. However, the candy he gave her was not rock candy, but hard candy wrapped in flowery candy paper.
It turned out that it was given by the captain.
Qiu Yuling refused, but Qiu Dashu didn't want a sensible sister, so he just tried to stuff the food into his sister's mouth. After a fight between the two, Qiu's father smashed the stone and both the brother and sister started eating.
This is why Zhou Xiaolin is still willing to become Qiu Yuling even though the situation here is so difficult.
Mother Qiu cooked some dried vegetable porridge, and then she pulled her daughter over and braided her hair into two small braids. After that, she told her not to be picky about food anymore, as it was good enough for her to have something to eat at her age.
Nowadays, there is really no one as picky about food as her daughter. It is true that it is good to have something to eat, but Qiu Yuling is too picky. She has a stomach like a bird and is full in no time. Sometimes, it is hard for her to ignore the obvious disdain.
If the family didn't have a strong labor force and didn't rely on her daughter to do the work, she wouldn't have fed her.
People might compromise when they are extremely hungry, but the problem is that Qiu Yuling is not hungry, so she really can't compromise at all.
Fortunately, she was still a child when she came, and her health was not good before, so many things were easy to cover up.
