Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 242 Chapter 240 : Close
At dawn, when Mrs. Wang got up and went to sleep instead of Song Qiu, there was still no movement in the wing room.

Although Song Qiu had been dozing off in front of the stove, he was still very sleepy. He went back to the house to catch up on sleep, and fell asleep until he woke up around Si o'clock. Yuan Shi drank a bowl of porridge and just went back to the house to rest.

She went into the old Yuan's room and took a look quietly. Seeing that someone was asleep, she came out and closed the door before going to work in the kitchen.

This early in the morning, Mrs. Wang brought Zhang Lihua and Ah Ling to almost prepare the ingredients that Du Chuanfu bought.

It's just that Wang's fish fillets are not good enough, the fish has been killed and washed, waiting for her.

Song Qiu drank two bowls of porridge to fill his stomach. After asking the guests that the breakfast was delivered, he took a knife and started slicing fish.

Rinse the sliced ​​fish fillets, and put them aside for later use.

After finishing this, there is nothing else for her to do, just wait for a guest to come and start cooking later.

Song Qiu wiped his hands on the apron and walked out of the lobby, just as he heard the young man surnamed Yang talking to Du Chuanfu about his plan to renew the house, and he left after staying for a full month, and he also gave a piece of silver in advance. , When it comes to checkout is not enough to make up.

That ingot of silver, the size of a fist, is at least 20 taels at first glance, and it is enough for a month's living expenses.

It only costs about seven taels of silver to live in four rooms for a month, and the rest is enough to eat and drink.

Yang Huirong talked to Du Chuanfu about the continuation of the house, and turned to go back to the room. When he saw Song Qiu, he thought about it, and then came up to say hello, saying that it would be troublesome for his wife to eat during confinement in the next month. Song Qiu prepared carefully.

A woman is in confinement and needs to breastfeed her child. Naturally, the nutrition must keep up.

Song Qiu nodded in response, expressing his understanding.

Although she has never given birth to a child, she has never cooked confinement meals, but she still knows what kind of soup to make with milk to nourish her body.

Yang Huirong was also relieved of this inn. After staying here for two nights, he could tell that the service of this inn was considerate. Last night was also thanks to the old lady who delivered the baby. Otherwise, the seizure in the middle of the night would be really troublesome.

I was really scared in a cold sweat last night, but fortunately, the mother and child are safe.

Now it's not convenient to rush back immediately, I only have to stay here for a month, and I have reported letters from left and right, so I don't have to worry about getting letters at home.

……

The Yuan family's five mu of land was next to each other, and the corn had been planted for a season. The poles of the corn were still standing on the ground and confiscated. They planned to dry them in the sun, and tie them back to use as firewood.

Only half an acre of sweet potato was planted in the corner, and some were planted between the corn ridges.

Except for the old Meng family and the grandson Yuan Sanping, everyone else at home joined the battle.

Sisters Xiang and Yuan Zhizhi and Yuan Meimei were in charge of cutting the sweet potatoes, and Yuan Daping was in charge of stacking and tying the cuts so that they could be picked and chopped up to feed the pigs.

Yuan Shuanzi and Yuan Chengcheng waved their hoes and were responsible for digging sweet potatoes.

Yuan Erping followed behind and put the turned out sweet potatoes into baskets.

Their family is not an early planter of sweet potatoes in the village, but now they are the first to start digging.

People in the village wandered over and saw it, so they had to ask a few more questions.

"I said Shuanzi, this sweet potato will not spoil in the ground if it is dug a few days later, why is it so urgent this year?

It just rained yesterday. Although there is sunshine today, I don’t know if it will be sunny for a few days. "

Dig the sweet potatoes back, don't wash the mud, just pile them up and dry them, and they won't be a problem for the Chinese New Year.

If it is preserved well, it will still be eaten in the spring of next year.

They usually dig out the sweet potatoes and store them for a period of time, and then they prepare to stop eating brown rice, or eat less brown rice, and start eating sweet potatoes.

In this way, you can save a lot by eating one after another until the spring of the new year.

Yuan Shuanzi dug half a ridge of sweet potatoes, rested his hands, spat out a mouthful of saliva and rubbed them on his hands, then swung his hoe down and pulled out a sweet potato that was as thick as a calf. I’ll dig it in the next day, no, my eldest sister’s family is waiting to collect this sweet potato, so I won’t wait, I’ll dig it first, pack it up and send it to others.”

Upon hearing this, the villagers thought they were strolling past, but they didn't pass by, so they simply got down to the ground and got closer to Yuan Shuanzi.

"Is it really your elder sister's family who wants to accept it? Is it Aqiu who opened it?" The red pepper last time, their family also sold more than [-] catties.

Seeing people became interested as soon as they heard it, Yuan Shuanzi couldn't help but smile in his heart, but on his face he said: "Isn't that serious? My own sister's family, can I still deceive me? My niece and granddaughter said it herself! I want to take this sweet potato! It is of great use!"

Really want to harvest, their family can grow sweet potatoes on an acre of land!Although eating sweet potatoes is enough to fill my stomach, it is still uncomfortable to eat every meal for several months. I don’t even talk about farting, and I often go to the toilet.

It would be a great thing if it could be sold for brown rice.

I just don't know how to charge this?
The village chief rolled his eyes and laughed, "Shuanzi, our two brothers are not outsiders, you have to give me an accurate word, whether this sweet potato, Aqiu, is only accepted by your family or everything else." Collect? How much is it? My family also has an acre of land, you know it too!"

Yuan Shuanzi said according to what Yuan Hua brought back: "It is said that it will charge a lot, but you know this thing, brother, half an acre of land is enough for a family to chew and eat for several months. No, it’s not a good deal to sell it, so it’s up to the individual, if you’re willing to sell it, send it away, and my eldest sister will definitely accept it.”

The villagers listened, nodded, and thought about it. As far as their family’s acre of land is concerned, sometimes they harvest more sweet potatoes, and sometimes they harvest less. For a [-]-dollar family, there are only nine people in their family, half-eating and half-resting, which is enough for half a year, no problem, how much food has been saved.

If the price is so low that it is not enough to exchange for half of the brown rice, then it is really not worth selling.

"Then Shuanzi, do you know what the price is? Tell me, I'm sure."

Yuan Shuanzi is more willing to eat brown rice than this farting sweet potato. During the few months of every year, his family cooks it with a handful of rice mixed with it. Just like that, this man can't bear it for a few months.

So no matter how you collect it, he will sell it.

And it was originally sold to my sister's house, so it's okay to suffer.

Now Yuan Hua and his wife rely on working for Ah Qiu, and they can get their wages back on time every month, and they can buy their family's rations for two months. What is this sweet potato?

But for others, it is better to make it clear.

"Aqiu said that sweet potatoes are not harvested by catty like red peppers, but by stones, fifty cents a stone. If anyone is willing to sell them, just dig up the mud and send them to her house!"
