Qian Chunhua returned to the Qian family, and Qian Xingshan also rushed back, panting.
"Sister, Uncle went to the Zhao family just now and checked. He built a two-meter-high wall, a kitchen, a toilet, a latrine, and a kang. It would cost eight taels of silver in total. He paid for the materials and used red bricks and green tiles."
Qian Chunhua: "How many days will it take?"
Qian Xingshan: "A day."
Qian Chunhua nodded. She didn't know much about the prices in ancient times. She had never done anything like this before, so she had no idea.
"Repair." Qian Chunhua said as he took out some silver from his pocket.
Qian Xingshan took the three taels of silver and returned the rest to his sister, "Give me three taels of silver for the materials first, and give me the rest after it's done."
Qian Chunhua took back the money with a smile. This younger brother is quite reliable.
Qian Xingshan took the silver and ran away again. Qian's mother looked at her daughter worriedly.
Eight taels of silver were spent in one go. What will happen to my daughter and her family in the future?
This time, the couple was left with only half a house and an acre of land near the official road. The land itself was very barren, and not only that it would not be given to their daughter, but the food grown from that land was not enough to feed her family of four.
There was only two hundred taels of silver left for compensation, and now another eight taels had been spent. If this continued, my daughter's family would be out of money sooner or later.
Qian's mother sighed and thought, "Never mind, I'll work harder in the future, grow more food, and take charge of all the food needs of my daughter's family."
Qian Chunhua didn't expect that after just a short while, Qian's mother would think so much about her husband.
She was just happy that things went so smoothly. In just a short while in the morning, she had finished two big things. While there was still time, she could go to the county town to buy some things.
After entrusting the three children to Qian's mother, Qian Chunhua went home, put on the backpack and hurried towards the county town.
The ox carts in the village had already set out long ago. They set out early mainly to transport villagers who were going to the market, so they had to set out early.
Qian Chunhua's space has cars, including RVs, off-road vehicles, bicycles, and electric bicycles. There are also lithium batteries, inverters, and solar panels.
But these things didn’t exist in this era at all, and Qian Chunhua didn’t dare to use them in broad daylight.
I had to walk to the county town.
The road from Huanghualing to the county seat is an official road. Qian Chunhua walked slowly along the road alone, admiring the scenery along the road.
The mood was different from yesterday when he went to the county town. Yesterday, Qian Chunhua was carrying a book box and thinking about how to communicate with Qingyun. He didn't pay any attention to the scenery along the road.
Now Qian Chunhua can enjoy the scenery leisurely. The fields on both sides of the official road are planted with radishes and cabbages. Seeing these vegetables, Qian Chunhua remembered the one acre of land allocated to him, which was also planted with cabbages.
In November in Nanzhou County, the temperature was only around 3 degrees Celsius, and other crops could hardly survive.
After the cabbages are harvested, we can only wait until March of next year to sow them again.
Even though Qian Chunhua knew nothing about farming, she knew that if she and her two children relied solely on harvesting cabbages, they would starve to death.
What should I do?
Qian Chunhua suddenly was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery anymore. He lowered his head, thinking while hurrying on the road. Even when he arrived at the county town, he still hadn't figured out what he would do for a living in the future.
When Qian Chunhua arrived at the grocery store yesterday, he bought a hanging pot. The hanging pot is used when building a stove, and the pot needs to be buried in the stove, so it needs to be bought in advance.
Qian Chunhua also has other items such as iron pots and clay pots in her space, so there is no need to buy them. Qian Chunhua plans to take the iron pot out of her space when she returns to the village.
Carrying a backpack, Qian Chunhua came to the grain store and asked about the prices of rice, millet, chestnuts, corn kernels, white flour and dark flour.
Except for corn and black flour, the space has several other kinds of food. Qian Chunhua plans to take them out from the space later. She would feel bad if she brings her three children to eat at her mother's house all the time.
Rice is ten wen a pound, millet is ten wen a pound, chestnuts and corn are both ten wen a pound, white flour is ten wen a pound, and black flour is ten wen a pound. After Qian Chunhua asked this, he had a clear idea in his mind.
After buying taels of salt, Qian Chunhua left.
Qian Chunhua's action confused the clerk in the grain store. He didn't buy rice or flour even though he asked, and bought salt even though he didn't ask.
Qian Chunhua didn't think so much. She just remembered that she saw that the salt jars at her mother's house were empty in the kitchen in the morning, so she bought two tablespoons of salt. It's not that she didn't buy too much, but Qian Chunhua had a lot of salt in her space, so she needed to find a container to store the salt.
Now that he had bought two ounces of salt and spent ten cents, Qian Chunhua planned to wait until he was out of the city and then find a deserted place to mix the salt in the space.
