Chapter 71: Borrow Food

Chapter 71 Borrowing Food

[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading the space. Since then, food crops in the space have matured every 15 days. 】

Yin Miao’s heart was calm after hearing this.

Well, this is the same time as she told Wei Shi and Yin Bowu. Originally, she thought she needed to keep some leeway, so when the space ripened a batch of food every 20 days, she told Wei and the two that it would be 15 days.

She didn’t expect the space upgrade would be so easy!

That’s all, anyway, the previous batches of food in the space have been consumed, but it is not as difficult as previously thought.

Thinking like this, Yin Miao walked in the direction of the chicken pen. The chickens in the chicken pen had obviously grown a circle. Next to the fence surrounded by logs, she saw something unexpected.

Her chickens actually lay eggs? !

And there are four eggs lined up neatly together. This growth rate is much faster than the batch of chickens bought outside.

【After the host upgrades the space, the growth rate of livestock will also increase. 】

The    system explained in a timely manner.

“Really, I got it.”

Hearing the system speak, Yin Miao remembered that she should also have a task reward today. When she opened the fresh-keeping box and put four eggs in, she found something extra in the fresh-keeping box.

That was a big tub of vanilla-flavored ice cream.

It is a lie to say that she is unhappy, after all, she only needs to say two more unprincipled words for this task.

But because she was too full at night, she put the bucket of ice cream back after only a few bites.

“System, if you don’t receive the initial gift package for the mission, which is the space, then won’t you be able to get the rewards for the subsequent missions?”

Yin Miao remembered that Li Tianyang, who forgot to receive the initial gift package, came.

[Yes, the quest rewards are distributed to the space. If there is no space, the default host will give up the qualification to receive it. 】

The system replied.

Tsk tsk, so miserable…

Yin Miao felt pity for Li Tianyang, was she not even eligible to receive it?

In the early morning of the next day, another villager came to the door of the Yin family to borrow food, but they were all rejected by the three brothers of the Yin family who were about to go out.

“To be honest, yesterday we took out all the surplus food in the house in order to thank the blind date who helped us, and now there is really no food to borrow.”

Yin Bowen sat on a wooden cart with wheels and said to everyone in front of him.

“Then can you lend us some copper plates? If you can’t hand in the food, you can just hand over the copper plates.”

Li Sanliang pressed forward and asked again.

“You think we are rich?”

Yin Chengyun asked rhetorically.

“But so many of you have helped, and we are really desperate.”

Li Sanliang said.

“Then there’s really no way to do it. The family has been cleared yesterday, and the food and money are really gone.”

Yin Bowu showed his hands.

It’s not that they don’t help, but that there was a reason to help yesterday, but there is no reason to help today.

A group of people finally left angrily, and the three of them also learned that today is the last day of the clerk to receive food.

The so-called corvés are free laborers. They usually have to do some heavy work of paving roads and bridges, and they work for two months. Some corvuses even die in the place of labor due to accidents. People are willing to do corvée.

But every year, a large number of corvés go to build bridges and pave roads, just because there are too many people who can’t pay food or taxes.

Yin Miao was woken up by the cry from the next door.

Yin’s yard was adjacent to Luo’s. Although the courtyard wall was raised, Yin Miao could still hear Luo Suying’s voice.

The relationship between the two families is good, Wei Shi and Zhen Shi originally planned to go to see the situation, but they were stopped by Yin Miao.

“Is that the person who stole the herbs from Su Langzhong’s house?”

Mrs Zhen also hesitated after hearing this, Miaoer was right, it was a family matter of the Luo family, it sounded like that Luo Suying wanted to borrow food from Luo Dazhi’s family, but was rejected.

“Then don’t let it go for the time being, it’s up to others to decide.”

Wei Shi also reacted.

The cries from next door continued, and Ma Cuihua’s voice came clearly:

“Our family has just handed in the food, how can there be any food for you to borrow? You need three buckets of food when you open your mouth and close your mouth, and we don’t have it either.”

“Brother and sister, I really have no choice. My family will always thank someone who can work. What if he goes to serve as corvée and our mother-in-law!”

Rose Suying cried.

“Then you ask your old man to think of a way. You can’t always have to deal with anything that happens, right?”

Ma Cuihua and Luo Dazhi saw that there were some people watching the fun outside the door, so they wanted to pull Luo Suying in, but Luo Suying simply sat at the gate, and couldn’t pull it.

“What can Lao Xie do? He is an honest man. Brother and sister, if you want to lend us some food, I will pay you back.”

Russell’s voice became louder.

“Cuihua… or… let’s get some for my sister?”

Luo Dazhi hesitated next to Ma Cuihua.

“No, what did you give us to eat?”

Ma Cuihua’s brows were furrowed, she could only wish to drag her husband into the house and give him a good education.

“Brother, your family still has food, right? I beg you, just three buckets of food, okay?”

Luo Suying saw hope, and began to turn his target to Luo Dazhi again.

“Suying, since you are already married, you shouldn’t come to Dazhi’s house again and again to borrow things. It’s not that you don’t know the situation of Dazhi’s house, it’s not easy.”

Luo Dingkai’s words were euphemistic, but it was also directed towards Ma Cuihua.

“Father, is your heart so cruel? Would you rather let our mothers go hungry?” asked Luo Suying.

“Your younger brother and sister are right. It’s time for Lao Xie to think about it. You have to worry about it every time. If you really can’t pay your food this time, I think you will let him serve two months of corvée.”

When he mentioned his cowardly and incompetent son-in-law, Luo Dingkai’s tone became even worse.

There was another burst of crying, Wei Shi shook his head, and did not intend to listen any more.

“Miao’er, do you think the Luo family will borrow food?”

Mr. Zhang also squatted aside for some time, nibbling on the steamed buns that were warmed up in the morning.

Yin Miao sighed and said, “It’s hard to say, Aunt Ma can’t borrow it, but not the other two.”

“But I heard that Grandpa Xiaobao is also on Sister Ma’s side?”

Mr. Zhang still thinks that he should not borrow it.

“The face is standing, but if that person actually goes to the corvee service, the responsibility lies entirely on the sister-in-law Ma.”

Zhen replied.

Mrs. Zhang nodded in understanding, but it was not until the crying next door was quiet that Mrs. Zhang felt that Yin Miao and Mrs. Zhen were right, and Luo Dazhi really lent food to Luo Suying.

Recently, Baozi was asking how many kilograms a bucket of grain is.

So I will answer it here uniformly:

One bucket of grain = 12 catties

One stone of grain = 10 buckets of grain = 120 jin

About 1,000 catties of grain are ripened each time in the heroine’s space, that is, 8 stone grains.

Other settings:

1 tael of gold = 2,000 yuan = 10 taels of silver

1 tael of silver = 200 yuan = 1,000 coins = 1 coin (hanging)

1 penny = 0.2 yuan

Of course, the standards of each dynasty and generation are different, just for reference haha!

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to confess to the book friends who read the text silently,

Love you (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~
