Traveling through a farmer's home: farming to make a fortune and raise children

Another year passed, another year older, the sun was still shining brightly at noon, but the temperature suddenly dropped in the afternoon, and it even started to rain lightly.

By the time the family finished eating, the light rain turned into sleet.

There had been a snowfall a few years ago, and it was pretty big. It was the first time Lin He had seen snow in this world for so many years.

However, due to geographical issues, it rained all day long, and the snow barely covered the top of my feet, and it melted the next day.

There was still a little bit of cooking warmth in the kitchen. Lin He tightened his collar, clicked his tongue twice, and then looked at Li Changhui behind him.

"We're not going to continue to cool down, Brother Hui. Did Liu Liang and the others reply to your letter a few days ago? How is the border situation over there?"

Liu Liang and the others brought a large amount of supplies and hurried slowly. It took them two days to finally reach the border.

It was a place specially designated by Li Changhui, and it was also the place most likely to be invaded by foreigners.

Speaking of this, Li Changhui's face darkened. When he received the news a few days ago, there were guests at home, so he never mentioned it to Lin He.

As soon as he saw Li Changhui's reaction, he knew something was wrong, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong? The situation is not good?"

Li Changhui shook his head: "There are indeed small fights. Fortunately, the imperial court responded in time. In recent years, the treasury has been full and there is enough food and grass, so there is no need to worry."

Lin He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay. Look, I told you, officials must have a longer term than we thought. What are you worried about?"

A peaceful country and peaceful people are better than anything else. Even if they are far away from the border now, if a war really breaks out, they cannot continue to be as comfortable as they are now.

Li Changhui hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is no shortage of food and grass, but not many cotton clothes and quilts. It is said that both the people and soldiers at the border have had a hard time these past few months, and many old people have not been able to survive."

Lin He's expression paused. She didn't expect this. After a while, she patted Li Changhui's arm.

"Don't worry, it's the beginning of spring, and the temperature will start to heat up soon. Besides, didn't I ask them to bring some cotton and a lot of peppers?"

The more than tons counted before were the amount of grain. It might not be much for people in a city, but it was better than nothing. After all, this was the limit of what their family could produce.

As for other supplies, in addition to cotton, there are also many spices, among which dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are the most popular, which are grown every year at home.

Sure enough, Li Changhui felt relieved when he heard this: "Yes, I almost forgot. In addition to chili peppers, I remember that you also asked people to pack more than 1000 kilograms of vermicelli, and various dried vegetables in the summer?"

There are a lot of dried lettuce, dried eggplant, dried vegetables, dried sweet potatoes, and even dried onions and ginger powder.

Li Changhui had to admire: "Sure enough, you are still much more careful than me in this regard. I saw these things at first, but I didn't think about it deeply."

"Are you relieved now? Although the peppers are not as good as cotton-padded clothes, they are still better than nothing. And it's already like this. It's useless no matter how much you think about it. It's better to grow more cotton every year in the future."

No one expected that last winter would be so cold. During the coldest month, Lin He barely left the side of the brazier.

If she had known it would be so cold, she would have distributed the cotton seeds earlier, and she would have been able to grow more cotton last year.

"Mom and dad, what are you talking about? We have finished cleaning up. Will dad still teach us how to read tonight?"

Li Hao put down his sleeves and walked towards the two of them. Today it was Li Hao's turn to wash the dishes, while the other children, one large and one small, had already gone to the study.

In winter, the three brothers usually read and study together in the study room, so a brazier is enough, and there is no need to worry about the child being alone in the same room with the brazier in case something happens.

As for sleeping at night, there is no need for a brazier. The three brothers are all practicing martial arts with Li Changhui. Although they are not as cold-resistant as Li Changhui, they are still much better than ordinary people.

"You go over first and teach An'er how to practice calligraphy tonight."

The two gave up their positions at the door of the kitchen and let Li Hao go out.This reaction made Li Hao a little confused: "Father, mother, what are you doing standing here? It's warm in the kitchen."

Also, the brazier was taken to the study.

Lin He's expression froze and he patted the back of his head: "I have something to say with your father, you go out first."

"Oh."

After Li Hao left, the two of them looked at each other. Lin He couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, and took the initiative to hold Li Changhui's arm.

"Brother Hui, I don't know anything about the Da'an Dynasty. Why don't you tell me, when you were fighting at the border, what did you need most besides food and grass?"

As the two talked, they finally left the kitchen and walked slowly towards the study.

Li Changhui took the initiative to change places with Lin He and let Lin He walk inside. He blocked most of the cold wind and fell into memories at the same time.

"The most needed thing is probably medicinal herbs. There are not enough military doctors, but what is most lacking are herbs to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. After many soldiers were injured, they obviously were not seriously injured, but they still died because of the ulceration of the wounds."

Li Changhui's voice was a little heavy. Some things, even after many years, are still vivid in his mind when he thinks about them now.

Lin He frowned slightly. The wound was festering. It must be that the disinfection effect was not good. It was just herbs, so the effect may be slower.

"I read in some miscellaneous books that some wounds need to be cleaned with wine?"

"Yes, especially for wounds that need to be sutured. Not only the wounds need to be cleaned with wine, but also the suture needles and threads, and the knives used to cut the rotten flesh, etc., need to be boiled in wine or boiling water."

Use wine to disinfect. Lin He couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it.

But Lin He had tasted wines in this world, and they were the more common good wines on the market.

To be honest, the degree is not too high. It is not good enough for disinfection. If distilled liquor can be made, it can reach or degrees, but that would be too wasteful.

The most important thing is that due to the craftsmanship, even spirits are not high in alcohol content. The ones she tasted are basically in the teens, not much higher than her wine.

With such a low degree of alcohol, it would take too much to distill a wine of or degrees.

However, the grain output was very low, and the control over brewing was very strict, let alone making large quantities of wine and then distilling alcohol.

As for disinfectant?
Then she is even worse. She is not yet capable enough to develop disinfectant.

But, apart from these, there are actually no other ways.

"Brother Hui, what if I said that in addition to wine, I also know a crop with a very, very high yield that can be used to make wine, and the yield can even be several times that of wine?"

The yield of wild grapes is only about jins, and after spiritual cultivation, it will not exceed jins, but the kind of thing she mentioned may even exceed jins or even jins per mu!

"Ok?"

Aren't you talking about what's missing at the border?

After reacting, I was instantly shocked.

“More than wine production?”
