Chapter 59 Thought 59 It’s not enough to give you a bigger one

She had walked among ordinary people in the world of cultivation before, and she had never seen farmland being cultivated by people.

A kind of animal called a "bearded ox" is used to pull the plow, and people only need to hold the plow behind.

Why don’t people in this world use animals to pull plows?

Moreover, manual farming is really slow.

It took half a day to plow one ridge. At this rate, it would take Si Shanhe and the others at least a day and a half to plow the entire acre of land.

If you use animals to plow the land like those in the world of cultivation, the speed will be much faster.

So Si Qing took advantage of Si Shanhe and Wu's rest and asked them why they didn't use animals to plow the land.

After Si Shanhe heard this, he smiled good-naturedly and said: "Auntie, you mean to use oxen to plow the land, right? In fact, some people use oxen to plow the land, but they are from wealthy families. Cows are so expensive, one costs at least five taels of silver.

Well, you need at least two oxen to plow the land, which costs ten taels of silver, which ordinary people can't afford."

"So many?" Si Qing was a little stunned. She had seen cows before, and Si Zhengping's family had one. It was so big that it was more than enough for plowing land, so why did they need two?

Seeing Si Qing's confused look, Si Shanhe smiled and said nothing more.

He was already very tired from pulling the plow, and he really didn't have the energy to talk much. After resting for a while, he began to plow the land again.

After Si Qing returned from the fields, he went to Si Zhengping again to ask about the cattle plowing.

The result obtained is the same.

Si Qing thought for a while and felt that there might be something wrong with the tools for farming in this world.

She has seen many ordinary people farming in the world of cultivation. The "bearded ox" they use is not as big as the cattle here, but one is basically enough.

"You can play outside. I have to go to the study. Don't come in and disturb me." Si Qing returned to the yard, told Si Xizhu, and then rushed into the study.

After spending a day, Si Qing finally drew a model of the tools used for plowing in the cultivation world based on his own memory.

Then he took the blueprint to Si Zhengping and asked him to take the blueprint to the blacksmith shop and make a plow according to the blueprint.

"Auntie, why do you want to do this?"

Si Zhengping didn't quite understand the drawing, but when it came to going to the blacksmith shop to plow, he instinctively felt a little sick.

Iron is very expensive, especially plows, and Si Zhengping doesn't think Si Qing's blueprint can produce anything good.

After all, he had never seen a plow like this in his more than fifty years of life.

"What's wrong with what I want to do? I just tell you to go and do it. Why do you ask so many questions?"

Si Qing couldn't tell that Si Zhengping didn't trust him, and she didn't have a good temper about it. He didn't dare to say anything when she got angry anyway.

This is the advantage of being senior.

Si Zhengping really didn't dare to get angry, but he dared to be nagging.

"Auntie, if you want to have fun, can I ask Zhao Daxi to make a wooden one for you later? You don't have to go to the blacksmith shop, that one is too expensive."

When Si Qing heard this, he put two small silver ingots worth ten taels in front of him: "Is it enough? Not enough for me to change it for you to a bigger one?"

Si Zhengping:......

God knows that’s not what he meant!

"Auntie, I'm not saying I want you to pay for it, I'm saying it's not worth going to the blacksmith shop to do this!"

"Whether it's worth it or not, you have to tell me? I'm an aunt, how can I not know? Okay, don't be verbose. If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself!"

Si Qing straightened his face and turned to leave.

When Si Zhengping saw her, he hurriedly pulled her back: "Auntie, I'll go, just let me go, don't run around!"

My aunt is so beautiful that if she sneaks out alone, she might be photographed by a photographer.

The more Si Zhengping thought about it, the more scared he became. When he left, he did not forget to tell Si Qing profusely: "Auntie, please don't leave the village alone. I will go to the county blacksmith shop tomorrow. Don't worry!"
