The seeds of this era are not like those decades later, which can be planted once and cannot be planted again. These vegetables can be saved for seeds after they mature.
So Shen Qingqing didn't worry about running out of money.
When she got home, Shen Luanfeng had not returned home from work yet, and Bai Nianyun followed Shen Jiaojiao out to buy things. She was the only one at home, so she went into her room, locked the door, and then slipped into the space.
The fields in the space had been divided into pieces by her. When she had time, she had turned the land over. She took out the seeds and planted a ridge of each kind.
She bought a ceramic basin from outside to water the vegetables.
Fortunately, there were industrial tickets in the money that Bai Nianyun gave her before, otherwise she would really worry about where to get these things.
In this era, the country has very strict control over materials. Even things like ceramic basins require industrial tickets, but the space is in short supply of these working tools.
If she had enough money, she would have liked to buy two handy tools, such as a hoe.
After watering the plants, Shen Qingqing stood up and rubbed her aching waist. Farm work was really tiring. She didn't have any handy tools in her hands, so she used a sharpened wooden stick to dig the ground. Fortunately, the ground in this space was relatively soft. If it was like outside with stones and weeds, she might not be able to clear the ground with this wooden stick even if she worked herself to death.
But she looked at the fields that she had carefully tended.
But she smiled contentedly. There was a shortage of everything on the island, but with these vegetables, she was never afraid of having nothing to eat and felt very safe.
Shen Qingqing went to the countryside today and saw some chicks and ducklings raised by farmers. Unfortunately, she didn't bring enough money with her, otherwise she would have taken them. It seems that she has to go to the countryside again tomorrow.
Speaking of meat, pork is the most delicious. It's a pity that there is no place to buy these piglets. These are raised by cooperatives and are public property. If you raise pigs privately, you will be reported.
But she has a space. If she doesn't raise a pet, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good place!
If it really doesn't work, she will go to the black market to ask, and get two piglets to raise in the space. When the new year comes, there will be no shortage of meat. Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing swallowed her saliva. She hasn't seen meat since she came back from the new year. At this time, let alone meat, it's good enough to be full, and no one is exception!
No one can suffer, but not yourself! Shen Qingqing made up her mind, sorted out her clothes a little, and left the space. She calculated her money and bills, and estimated that they should be enough to buy chicks and piglets, so she kept the money close to her body.
The next day, after everyone in the family had finished their work, Shen Qingqing also rode her bicycle. She had grown more cautious and did not go to the same village as last time. Instead, she went to a village farther away. It took her a full hour and a half to get there.
She had known that although farmers in the countryside were allowed to raise chickens and ducks, there was a quota and a family was only allowed to raise five chickens and ducks at most. The closer to the city, the stricter the regulation. She was afraid that the people in the village yesterday would not sell them to her.
So even if we run a little further, we can still feel at ease, because this place is quite far from the city, and the control is not very strict. More importantly, today is the tenth day of the tenth month, which is the peak of the festival for several nearby villages.
Things like chickens and ducks are hard to find, but there are only two or three times a month for women in rural areas, and there are many more things for sale in the market. In order to protect the livelihood of farmers, the government also allows women in rural areas to exist, so she deliberately traveled so far.
Sure enough, on the flat slope by the river, she could see the city from afar. It was very lively with people coming and going. Most of the vendors were carrying a few baskets with their things to sell placed on both sides. In the middle was a dirt road trampled by the people coming and going, and the people brought up the dust on the road.
But Shen Qingqing's sharp eyes saw several rice baskets that were covered upside down, and there were crisp chirping sounds coming from inside.
Shen Qingqing pushed her bicycle and walked back and forth to several stalls with food. Finally, she stopped at an old woman. When the old woman saw her stop in front of her, she asked curiously, "Little girl, I sell chickens and ducks here. Maybe they don't have what you want."
Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "Auntie, what I want is these chicks and ducklings. How much do you want for them?"
The old lady looked at her suspiciously. This girl didn't look like a country girl in the way she was dressed. She had fair skin, two thick black braids, and rode a bicycle. She didn't look like one of their country girls at all.
