The Space Doctor Became the Favorite of the Exiled Powerful Minister - #151 - Chapter 151: The Importance of Food (Third Update)

Mrs. Cui was also very surprised to see Cui Hejin coming back.

She looked at Jiang Zhiluo and said, “That’s right, Zhiluo, go sit next to her and have a rest.”

 “You are going to be exhausted, and we will be worried and distressed too.”

Mrs. Cui wished she could have Zhiluo sit down and rest.

Having been busy all day.

Looking at Jiang Zhiluo’s thin figure, Mrs. Cui felt a little uncomfortable.

I originally wanted her to pull the plow, but it was useless to persuade Zhiluo, not to mention that the family really had to cultivate the land.

 She and Cui Hejin were busy working on the winter wheat last winter.

 Fortunately, Cui Hejin is back from vacation.

Jiang Zhiluo could only nod her head when she met Cui Hejin’s solemn and dark eyes.

 But after sitting there for a while and watching Cui Hejin’s busy figure, Jiang Zhiluo also felt a little distressed.

I just feel that Cui Hejin is not suitable for doing this kind of thing at all.

She wanted to buy a cow more and more.

 After returning home that night, Mrs. Cui cooked dinner, while Jiang Zhiluo was busy making chili meat sauce.

After living in a big house, there are more rooms, a special bathroom, and a large kitchen with two large pots, small pots and pans.

 It is much more convenient to cook.

 Furthermore, she also designed a special study room to facilitate Cui Hejin’s daily reading.

There are two large desks and some bookshelves in the study room. These are furniture that she drew drawings and had them made by specialized carpenters.

It’s just that there are only a few books on the bookshelf.

Jiang Zhiluo thought that in the future, when her family’s conditions improve, she will be able to buy a lot of books.

 Two desks, one for Cui Hejin and the other for her.

 This way, we don’t have to squeeze into a small table in the house like before.

And the front yard and back yard are very large, and there are courtyard walls, so the privacy is very good.

  No longer have to go to the yard and worry that the villagers passing by the door can see what they are doing in the yard.

 In this way, you can take the time to grow some vegetables in the yard.

 The land can be used to grow crops, and there is no need to set aside some land for growing vegetables.

 There is enough to grow a lot of vegetables in the front and back yards.

This is convenient for eating on weekdays. You can just pull it out in the yard.

Mrs. Cui also scattered some cucumber seeds on the roots of the courtyard wall.

Jiang Zhiluo also went to the mountain to get some flower seeds and scattered them on the corner of the yard.

 Living in a big house, with the courtyard wall blocking it, Jiang Zhiluo felt that she felt safe living here.

Even Mrs. Cui likes the house designed by Jiang Zhiluo.

 While setting fire to cook, Mrs. Cui couldn’t help but said to Jiang Zhiluo: “Zhiluo, the layout of the room you designed is so comfortable.”

The windows are clear, the bed is comfortable to lie on, there are bedside tables and chairs, cabinets and clothes drying racks.

No one in the village uses clothes drying racks. Those clothes drying racks were painted by Zhiluo and asked to be made by carpenters.

Not to mention, although she has few clothes, they are hung on racks so that they are not easily wrinkled.

There are also drawer keys.

There are also special bed houses.

 Sleep on the kang when the weather is cold, and in summer you can sleep in a room with a bed.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, “As long as Mom lives comfortably.”

While talking, Jiang Zhiluo was arranging the dried plums in her hands.

“These Xuelihong have been dried, and they are called plum pickles. You can make more pickle pickles.”

Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about preparing the dried plum vegetables, making more chili meat sauce and selling the chili meat sauce, so that she could buy a cow.

 The stove was very big, and she looked at two pots at once, one for cooking braised meat and the other for making chili meat sauce.

 Some wooden bottles of Han Bingce ordered a few days ago have been delivered, and they can be bottled and sold at the dock.

 She plans to take more orders in these two days and make more money during these two days.

She has inquired about it, and if she wants to buy an old cow, nine taels of silver will suffice.

So she will take the silver divided into braised food tomorrow and sell some more chili con carne sauce, so she should have three taels of silver in her hand.        The previous eight taels of silver were added to the three taels of silver, and there was still one tael of silver left to buy a cow.

●Jiang Zhiluo didn’t go to bed until midnight.

Jiang Zhiluo has not had a dream for a long time.

 That night I had another dream for some unknown reason.

 In the dream, there were merchants outside coming into the village to collect grain.

 “What harvests grain?”

“Cornmeal costs twelve cents a pound?”

 “Is it so expensive?”

Normally, multi-grain noodles cost eight cents per catty in a grain store. When many people heard this, they thought of selling part of the grain at home.

 Everyone thought that if there was not enough food to eat later, they could just go to the grain store to buy some multigrain noodles or corn.

 But not long after, there was a war outside, and food prices continued to rise.

 Many people want to buy food but can’t, and even if they do, the price has doubled.

 This is a very serious matter for ordinary people.

 Because of the war and food issues, the town was in chaos…

Jiang Zhiluo sat up in shock in the middle of the night.

Cui Hejin heard the movement and quickly sat up.

He saw through the moonlight that Jiang Zhiluo’s face was not very good, and asked worriedly: “What’s wrong, is it a dream?”

Hearing Cui Hejin’s voice, Jiang Zhiluo slowly came back to her senses.

 Her heart was beating a little fast at this moment.

Jiang Zhiluo realized that it was just a dream, and now the outside was still calm and there was no chaos.

 The time in the dream was a bit blurry, and Jiang Zhiluo didn’t know when there would be a war outside or when food prices would rise.

 But she felt that she still needed to prepare in advance.

Jiang Zhiluo came back to her senses, suppressed her chaotic heartbeat, and said softly: “It’s nothing.”

Cui Hejin picked up the flint next to him and lit the pine oil candle.

 The candles that Jiang Zhiluo made from pine oil have been used at home and are very durable.

 Cui Hejin looked at the cold sweat on her face, took out a handkerchief, stretched out his hand and wiped it gently for her.

Jiang Zhiluo’s eyelashes trembled and she gently avoided Cui Hejin’s hand.

Cui Hejin paused his hand movements and said, “Are you tired during the day?”

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, “It’s okay, I just thought it would be better to eat more food.”

 When the world is at peace, no one realizes the importance of food.

 But once there is a war and the price of food in Yun State rises, Yun State will be in chaos.

A faint light flashed across Cui Hejin’s eyes, as if he thought of something, and said: “There is still a large open space in the front and back yards, and we can plant some food.”

Jiang Zhiluo felt that it was still not enough. Although the food was enough for the family, who knew how long the war would last.

 In the dream, many people took food and went to caves in the mountains to escape the war.

 If there is not enough food, there is no way to escape the war.

 Some refugees began to chew tree bark.

Jiang Zhiluo said attentively: “I want to buy more land.”

Cui Hejin said: “Okay.”

Jiang Zhiluo didn’t expect Cui Hejin to be so easy to talk to, “Don’t you even ask why?”

 Cui Hejin said warmly: “You can do whatever you want to do.”

“Besides, it’s good to buy more land.”

Jiang Zhiluo said: “If we buy more land, we won’t be able to handle it at all. It’s better to hire people to help farm the land.”

“But now that the farming season is busy and labor is scarce, everyone is probably busy cultivating their own land.”

“But we are not in a hurry. If anyone is done with their work, they can come over and help us farm.”

 There is a one-month buffer when planting in spring.

 Even if planting is delayed one month, it will not affect the situation.
