Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 41 Making Money Plans

When Mr. Tan left, the backyard was quiet again.

The wicked need the wicked to grind, Yang Ruoqing hooked her lips towards the kitchen in the front yard, turned around and cleaned up the nettles in her hand.

Mrs Sun rolled up her sleeves and walked over, "Qing'er, you can take a break, this biting grass, mother will do it!"

"Mother, it's nothing, I'm almost done." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"That mother went to cook!" Mrs Sun said.

"The rice is already cooking on the small stove. After a while, let's cook two dishes." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Yo, my daughter is really quick to handle these things. I just walked around in your father's house, washed the wild vegetables, and cooked the rice." Sun's face looked relieved.

Yang Ruoqing grinned with a blushing face, and walked into the kitchen with the washed nettles, shook a sack on the ground, found a chopping board and a kitchen knife, and chopped the nettles into pieces.

"Mother, I have a plan in my heart. I want to sum it up with you." While chopping vegetables, Yang Ruoqing raised her head and said to Mrs. Sun who was handling wild vegetables next to her.

"What? You said." While rubbing away the bitter juice from the wild vegetables that Yang Ruoqing had picked in the forest today, Mr. Sun turned his head and glanced at his daughter with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing bit her lip lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want you to pay attention, mother, to see whose sow is going to give birth, let's go and catch two little piglets to raise."

As far as Yang Ruoqing knew, in this era, extortionate and miscellaneous taxes were a big mountain on the heads of the villagers!

Without the high-yielding hybrid rice invented by Yuan Longping, and without new pesticides and fertilizers, it would be difficult to grow in the crops.

If it catches up with the failure of the gods to be beautiful, floods, droughts, insect pests, earthquakes... It is possible that the harvest in the fields is not good and the grains are not harvested.

Excessive and miscellaneous taxes are unavoidable, and the whole family can't lift the lid. Selling children and daughters often happens.

"Qing'er, didn't our family have two acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land? As long as we are willing to take care of it, the output from the fields will be deducted and handed over to the government. Our life will be a little harder. I don't want to drink the northwest wind." Sun shi also seriously considered Yang Ruoqing's proposal, "But our family's food is not enough for people to eat, where is there any extra to feed the pigs? I'm afraid it won't work!"

"If your father's legs are not like this, we can go to the next village, Zhao Caizhu's house to rent a few acres of land to do it, maybe even pull a pig, but unfortunately your father looks like this, our mother and I can't do it even after renting it. Ah!" Sun shi frowned with a frown.

Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said, "Mother, don't worry, you can pay attention to the little piglet, as long as you can catch it, I will take Daan and Xiaoan to hunt hogweed, no matter what, I will also pull the little pig. cub!"

"Our family's fields are barely enough for the five of us to chew on, but we don't have any living water money in our hands." Yang Ruoqing then analyzed with Sun's: "Dad needs to spend money on medicine, and if the two younger brothers have a headache When it’s hot, we have to see a doctor and take medicine. During the festivals, we go to relatives, and we have to spend money on everything we buy throughout the year.”

"Mother, let's hold on, we've grown the two little piglets, and after selling the money, our family can still eat meat. It's going to be hard at the moment, it's going to be tough, but it'll be fine in the future! How's it going?"

Sun shi looked at the girl in front of her with bright eyes and a look of anticipation, with mixed feelings in her heart.

The daughter's words gave Sun's hope. She also hoped that she could have some living money in her hand to buy some decent clothes for the children and some supplements for the third child.

But this year is definitely not going to happen. The cotton in the fields is from Grandpa Gui Qinger and the others, and he has almost gone out of the house in his three rooms.

"Mother, you believe me, we will not lose by catching two little piglets!" Yang Ruoqing's encouraging voice came into Sun's ears again.

Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes and determined smile, Sun's heart moved, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

Yang Ruoqing saw Sun's willingness to fight in her eyes, and couldn't help but secretly want to laugh.

Isn't it just catching two little piglets, this is just the tip of the iceberg in her plan to get rich.

Yang Ruoqing spread the chopped nettle grass evenly on the sack, and then together with the Sun family, moved these to the yard, and put them on a stone mill to air dry.

The air-dried nettle grass, but it will not be damaged when stored for a long time, this thing, but the nutrition she left for the two little piglets, it is pure natural and pollution-free!

After drying the nettles, here in the kitchen, the rice on the small stove exudes an attractive fragrance.

Yang Ruoqing took two dry chili peppers sent by Aunt Osmanthus, soaked it in water, took a cracked clay pot, and grabbed two identical eggs sent by Aunt Osmanthus.

"Crack! Crack!"

With two crisp sounds, I put two eggs into the bowl, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and stirred regularly for a while, and the golden egg liquid was viscous and even.

I changed a small pot for frying, put a little rapeseed oil on the bottom of the pot, and it was fried with a crackling sound.

She picked up the dried chili, chopped it into a pool of pink chili powder with the knife, and smashed a garlic clove with the back of the knife, put it into the egg mixture, sprinkled a little salt foam, stirred it evenly, and poured it into the in the frying pan.

With a cheerful and crisp sound of "Zila...", the egg liquid quickly formed at the bottom of the pot, from the previous viscous liquid to a solid egg cake at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Ruoqing was obsessed with the spatula, squatting beside the small pot, swiftly but cautiously stirring the eggs in the pot.

The umami of the egg is very dry, the spicy smell of the chili peppers is mixed together, and then supplemented by the aroma of garlic, the three seem to have reached a contract under the high temperature stir-fry, and the air quickly diffuses the spicy aroma, making people feel mouth watering!

Mrs Sun was stunned to watch from the side. She was in charge of the dinner last night, and her daughter is in charge of this dish.

Mrs Sun couldn't believe her eyes, she sniffed the aroma of the vegetables in the kitchen, and couldn't help asking Yang Ruoqing, "Daughter, you have never used a spatula handle before, where did you learn this? ah?"

Yang Ruoqing used a spatula to chop the chili and egg pancakes in the pot, and she turned her head and grinned: "Have you never seen a pig walk before eating pork? I used to be in charge of my mother's spoon, but I was watching from the side, watching everything. I will!"

Sun shi had no doubt about it, and suddenly realized that his daughter was really smart, she had such a good brain!

Yang Ruoqing put the dried chili scrambled eggs in a bowl, rinsed the hot pot with water, and then put it back on the small stove.

I sautéed the handful of cabbage sent by Aunt Osmanthus, and made a soup with the matsutake mushrooms picked yesterday and the fresh wild vegetables picked today, and sprinkled a little green onion at the end.

The mother and daughter brought the meals to Yang Huazhong's bedside stool next door. Yang Huazhong was already awake, and under the service of Sun's, he put on his shirt and sat up.

"Ah!"

He smelled a good spicy smell, couldn't help sneezing into the bed, and his appetite was instantly hooked by the spicy smell.
