Chapter 27 Who Is Rich To Eat Wild Vegetables?
How can there be no money?Mrs. Han's words made Mrs. Zhang very surprised, and asked: "His family still has a donkey cart, how can he have no money? Can I buy sesame seed cakes if I don't have money?"

"Hmph, the donkey is the only thing worth any money in his family. The second uncle is already 57 years old. If he didn't have the donkey cart, he might not be able to come back. In order to come back smoothly, they are afraid that they will spend all their savings in the family. I bought a donkey cart." Han said disdainfully.

"Yesterday when they went down to get things, I was watching right in front of them. The car was full of old things, rough porcelain bowls, old pots, bedding was patched, and there was not a single piece of decent clothes."

Mrs. Zhang looked at the sesame seed cakes in her daughter's hand, and asked, "Then why is his family willing to sell sesame seed cakes?"

Mrs. Han said with a smile: "Because his family didn't have anything to cook, he thought he would come back after being hungry for a long time and still drink the wild vegetable batter, so he probably was cruel and bought sesame seed cakes. If he is really rich, he will I bought two catties of cooked meat and several big meat buns. Don’t you think so?”

Mrs. Zhang thinks about it, really, if he is rich, he will definitely buy delicious sauced meat and meat buns to satisfy his cravings. How can sesame seed cakes be as delicious as that?
Just now she saw that the three rough porcelain bowls in the second uncle's house were indeed filled with wild vegetables mixed with batter, and she could recognize that they were purslane.Who would eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger if they could eat well?
……

Qi Younian originally planned to have lunch, and took advantage of some time in the second half of the afternoon to fix the gate of the yard first.Ye Xinyan refused to let her go. The three of them ate and took a luxurious nap. After taking a nap for nearly half an hour, they got up to clean the courtyard door.

Ye Xinyan wasn't talking big, she could really help Qi Younian, and the two of them repaired the gate of the courtyard before dark.Not to mention how good the repair is, at least the gate of the courtyard can be closed tightly and the door can be bolted.

The two called it a day, and Nanny Jin also prepared the meals.They warmed up the nests that they hadn't finished their lunch, made a batter of miscellaneous batter, and mixed with the green vegetables brought by their uncle's house for a long time.

Ye Xinyan ate the meals made at home, and smiled with satisfaction.

Since she came to this era, she only stayed in Anguo Gong's mansion for one day. Although she had prepared food and drink for that day, she was only thinking about how to escape before sending her to the family temple. Where would she have a little bit of belonging? feel?I just felt that it was a cage for eating people, and I didn't feel like home at all.

After that, I spent more than half a year in hiding and wandering, always worrying about my identity being discovered, or encountering gangsters and robbers on the road, which was even more unreliable.

It was only yesterday that she really had her own home. Although it was so simple and dilapidated, here she had a reasonable and legal identity and a veritable shelter.

No, I ate homemade meals today, and finally felt at ease.In the future, she can calm down and focus on how to make money, completely change the life without social security, and make life better.

After dinner, the three of them discussed that the doors and windows could still be repaired by Qi Younian, but there was no furniture in the house.If Qi Younian can make all the furniture used in the home, even if it can be done by Qi Younian alone, it will take too long and be too tiring.

Qi Younian repeatedly emphasized that he can make simple furniture, but Ye Xinyan disagreed with anything.Qi Younian is nearly sixty years old, and he has exhausted his energy all the way. Now it's time to take a good rest and regain his strength, so he can't rush to work.

Ye Xinyan said: "If you get tired and sick, see a doctor, take medicine, and suffer again, it's not something a few simple pieces of furniture can afford."

In the end, it was decided that Qi Younian would build the barn for the chairs, stools, and hire a carpenter for the boxes, cabinets, and tables at home.

It was getting late, and it would be a waste of lamp oil to talk any more, so the three of them took a break early.

After breakfast the next day, Qi Younian went to Dafang to say hello to Qi Yougui, and told him that the family had settled down, so there was no need to worry.I also asked if there was anyone in the village who knew how to do carpentry.

Qi Yougui had already had breakfast, so he simply led Qi Younian to find Carpenter Wang in the village, and asked Carpenter Wang if he had time to work these days.

The rest of the people in the yard of the big house went to work in the fields.

Mrs. Han curled her lips and complained to her man Qi Dagen: "Father, it's true. Carpenter Wang is from our village. Just ask anyone to know where he lives. Where can I lead him? We work in the field. There are many more, even if the second uncle has not been farming these years, he should know that solar terms wait for no one."

Qi Dagen glared at her, and reprimanded in a rough voice: "Second uncle has been outside for these years, and he just came back the day before yesterday. He is not familiar with the things in the village, and he doesn't know many people. What's wrong with dad leading him to find someone? You talk too much."

Mrs. Wang didn't blame Mrs. Han, but only urged them: "Okay, there are so many words, let's get down to work."

Yesterday, I heard my second daughter-in-law say that Qi Younian bought sesame seed cakes and ate them alone, and Wang felt very uncomfortable.

No one is rich, and the old man always wants to help his second brother.The Wowo sent to them yesterday was saved from their own rations.But people don't think about him at all, he has money to buy biscuits, but he only cares about eating for himself.

The more Wang thought about it, the more unhappy she became. Although she had already stated to her old man not to think about taking things from home to Qi Younian again, the old man didn't say anything at that time, but the unhappiness in her heart still did not subside.

Qi Younian went to find a carpenter, while Ye Xinyan washed the broken rice at home. After washing, she soaked it for another half an hour, and used the half hour to clean the small stone mill she bought.

While sewing the quilt, Nanny Jin wondered what Ye Xinyan could make with these broken rice, and what is rice tofu?
Yes, Ye Xinyan wants to sell rice tofu.

The rice tofu she wants to make is different from the kind of rice tofu that people usually say is stable in shape.The rice tofu she ate with her grandma when she was a child was always tender and smooth, similar to tofu nao in a semi-solidified state.

Rice tofu is easier to make than tofu nao, and it can be used to the best of its ability. All the ground rice milk can be made into rice tofu, unlike tofu, which needs to be filtered out, and only soy milk can be used in the end.

Now they are in their infancy, and they have less money in their hands. If they use broken rice to make rice tofu, the cost will be much lower.If the rice tofu sells well and there is not enough broken rice in the future, you can also use rice to make it. In that case, the taste will be better.

The stone mill is cleaned, and the broken rice is soaked.She can operate the small stone mill by herself without the help of others.After the rice milk was ground, Ye Xinyan lit a fire while the rice milk was settling, boiled it, dipped it in water, and fried the peppers.

Using lime to coagulate rice milk is better than alkaline water. Ye Xinyan has already prepared lime water.

Outside, Qi Younian and Carpenter Wang ordered a few pieces of furniture they needed, but they didn't have any wood at home, so they bought wood from Carpenter Wang's house by the way.

When he came back after making an appointment, he saw his granddaughter busy by the stove in the outer room.
