Nongmen shrew: Farming with cubs is spoiled by rough men

Chapter 9 Everything is slowly getting better

There are many wealthy people in the town, after all, there are rich and poor in any era.

But she is such a rich woman, and she also pulls a carriage full of things, so she can easily attract the attention of others.

Most of them just glance at it, after all, it is not a valuable thing.

After finishing the funeral, Li Manguan and his wife came to the town to collect the bill, and saw the back of the person leaving from a distance.

At first, Li Qian thought he was mistaken, rubbed his eyes, then touched Li Manguan with his elbow and said, "Look, is that the little bitch?"

In my impression, Qin Zhiyi was just a low-browed woman who had never seen the world since she came to the countryside.

In their house before, they were also allowed to round and flatten.

Seeing it now, I can only see that her movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, carrying things without sloppyness at all, she is still the submissive woman she used to be.

Li Manguan was still trying to figure it out, so he couldn't care less, so he asked casually, "Which little bitch?"

"Isn't it the one who left home? I just saw her buy a carriage!"

At the end of Li Qian's speech, her teeth itched with hatred.

At the beginning, she was followed out by someone, but she didn't expect that little bitch to be so powerful that she directly crippled everyone.

She knew that the little bitch did it, but she had nowhere to tell, so she could only swallow it with her teeth knocked out.

Li Manguan took a look, but he didn't see the person Li Qian mentioned, and then continued to lower his head to make calculations: "Eat salty radish and don't worry about it. A peasant woman from the countryside. Everyone has left. Why bother with her?"

In Li Manguan's view, as long as it doesn't hinder him from making money, it's not a big problem.

The only thing he is thinking about now is how to get some of the shops in his brother's hands back.

……

It was already mid-afternoon when Qin Zhiyi went back in the bullock cart.

The three older brothers saw her come back after shopping, and they all rushed over to help unload the things.

This time, I bought a lot of things. The food was two or three cents a catty, which was not too expensive. She bought 100 catties each.

It’s just that it costs a lot of money to buy meat, 20 renminbi a catty of meat, she bought a total of 20 catties, 400 renminbi and then went out, plus other things, five liang of silver was spent again.

She bought food for her family before, so she put the food she bought this time at home.

20 catties of meat, 4 catties for the family, she kept 4 catties for herself.

After finishing packing in the dark, the pots I bought were also set up in the yard as a shed and built a stove, and I used it as a kitchen first.

We ate dinner at home.

Qin Zhiyi stuffed the rice first, and after it was cooked, put it on the side of the stove to heat it up, and then started cooking with oil.

Because I told my sister-in-law and the others in advance that I will eat at her house tonight, so several sister-in-laws also came to help.

The dried mushrooms are soaked in water, fried together with leeks, the bought pork is cut and marinated, and a cabbage, pork and radish stew will be made later.

With a large family, she also cut up a lot of meat, so that they can eat it well.

After the dishes were tidied up, we started to cook.

Because I bought meat, put a few slices of fat when cooking, and turn it over in the pot and the oil will come out.

Oily dishes are delicious, and the smell makes people drool.

Especially the stewed radish with pork and cabbage, it was not yet cooked, and the little guys rushed over after smelling it.

Pairs of eyes stared at the steaming pot lid, and the saliva almost flowed out.

The last dish was finished and brought to the table in the main room. The eldest brother had three children, the second brother had two children and the third brother had only one, so there were more than a dozen people.

The whole family gathered around the table, full of people. She cooked enough rice and enough vegetables, and the whole family ate to the full.

Even Xiaotao ate half of the bowl with her arms in her arms.

After dinner, Qin Zhiyi asked his sisters-in-law to go back to work, while the two children were in the main room, and he went outside to wash the dishes.

She took the bowl on her front foot and went out to wash it, and Qin Zhuang came out on her back foot.

Looking at her busy back, she sighed and said: "Although this restaurant is barely decent, at least we can stay here to live. You have made so many dishes since you came back, and you have paid a lot for a meal, right?"

Hearing that her mother was distressed, she paused while washing the dishes, and then said: "Mother, it's okay, let's get something delicious today, and I will plan for myself in the future."

Qin Zhuang said: "That's good. I have some things to say. It's not convenient for me to say that your sister-in-laws are here. Now that there is no one else, I will talk to you."

She drained the washed bowl and put the water aside, and said in response: "Well, just say it."

Mrs. Qin Zhuang continued: "From now on, you will have to live by yourself when you are here, especially in this winter, there is nothing to eat and drink at home. Although you have money to buy some food, you must be more careful. If you work hard, you won't starve to death."

"Like the front and back of this house, you plant some grain, and your two older brothers built a fence to separate it from the back of the house, so that you can raise chickens and ducks behind, and the chickens and ducks have laid eggs. Whether you sell them or leave them for the two It’s very convenient for a child to eat.”

When Qin Zhuang's words came to this point, he hesitated to speak.

But Qin Zhiyi kept these words in his heart.

She chose to come back, so far, it was the right choice.

At that time, agriculture was underdeveloped, and farmers basically worked in the fields all day long, feeding pigs and chickens and ducks, and wandering around at home all year round.

If the poorer people have no farm work in winter, they dare not wander around.

If it gets colder, everyone snuggles up on the bed to keep warm, and to reduce unnecessary activities and physical exertion, so as not to starve quickly.

She also finished washing the bowls now, and she only bought four bowls in total.

So there were not enough bowls for lunch, and the rest of the bowls and chopsticks were brought by my mother's family.

She gathered up the cleaned bowls and put them in a basket so that Qin Zhuang could take them back later.

Now that she finished washing the dishes, she replied, "Mother, don't worry, I will live my life carefully."

Mrs. Qin Zhuang nodded and said: "The days without men will still be hard in the future. Mother hopes you will remember that no matter how hard or tiring we are, we have to carry on. When Dabao and Erni grow up, the hard times will come to an end." gone."

"Well, Ah Yi listens to my mother."

This is the concept of the older generation. When children grow up, the burden will be lighter.

But she didn't want the two children to be so mediocre, and she secretly made up her mind to educate the two children well.

After her mother left with the bowls and chopsticks, Qin Zhiyi let the two little ones play in the yard, while she took the opportunity to cut up the pork offal that she bought in the town today, and prepared to boil it into oil.

Pig offal is much cheaper than pork. Pork is 20 yuan per catty, while pig offal is only seven or eight yuan.

Pig offal is divided into suet and intestinal oil. Suet refines more lard, and more sausage and meat dregs, so the prices of suet and intestinal oil are not the same.

Suet costs only seven renminbi, while sausage oil costs eight renminbi.

When poor people want to eat meat, most of them will buy some intestinal oil and take it back to refine, so that they can eat meat while eating oil.

And she bought 10 catties each of intestinal oil and suet, and even bought two large clay pots to hold lard.
