Chapter 126
Xia Qiyue woke up early the next day, bought steamed buns directly from the space, and poured out a pot of milk without cooking porridge. This morning, the steamed buns are served with milk. Boiled eggs and pickles are not allowed. less.

She didn't let the pot cook the porridge in order to boil the syrup. When the six people came over, the syrup was ready, and a large pot of white and fat steamed buns, a large pot of milk, eggs and small pickle.

Everyone ate and drank together along the way, and they had gotten used to it for a long time, so they took the bowls and chopsticks and sat down without anyone saying anything.

"Is this milk, sister-in-law Si?" An Youde asked, but he already had the answer, he was just wondering how there was so much milk.

Because of the scarcity of cattle, there are not many families raising cattle in the village, especially after the drought, so there is no one to drink milk for a long time.

"Yeah, I bought it from outside! Eat it quickly, you two are going to make candy!" Xia Qiyue filled a bowl of milk for herself, and soaked the steamed buns in the milk to eat.

Hot steamed buns meet cold milk, the temperature is just right for eating.

The milk bought in the space is not raw milk, so Xia Qiyue didn't cook it, and it was just right to eat with hot steamed buns.

But An Zihao would rather eat only pickled vegetables than drink milk, saying that it smells fishy, ​​so he doesn't want to.

Xia Jiuyue saw it, and hurriedly persuaded, "Drink more! This is very nourishing!"

Xia Qiyue looked up at her younger sister in shock. Normally, her younger sister didn't communicate with the six boys very much. After finishing her work, she would quietly go back to the house to watch the children, but today was a bit abnormal.

"Sister Jiuyue, can this milk really nourish the body?" An Youde chatted with Xia Jiuyue in a wordy way.

"Yeah!" Xia Jiuyue only nodded in response and ate herself without saying a word.

An Zihao picked up a bowl of milk for himself and started to drink it.

Xia Qiyue couldn't figure out why these people were so strange, but she didn't have time to care so much. After eating a steamed bun, a bowl of milk, and a boiled egg, she wiped her mouth and got up to go back to her room.

The others also ate fast, but seeing the young men each have two steamed buns as a base, and each of them divided two eggs, Xia Jiuyue waited to clear the table, looking panicked for them.

However, she found that Liangzi secretly put two eggs into her sleeve pocket and did not eat them.

Xia Jiuyue didn't pierce it. First, she was embarrassed. Second, everyone was divided into two, and she didn't have to worry about keeping his own share.

Everyone else ate it, and An Sijin ate it quickly. He didn't want to cause so many troubles, so he might as well eat it in his own stomach.

Although An Youde had a pregnant sister-in-law in his family, he didn't keep her. Uncles and sisters-in-law should be careful in the first place, and sister-in-laws are not the ones he should care about.

His monthly wages are given to the family, which is enough.After Xia Qiyue returned to her room, she planted another crop of rice.Soon out of the space, came out with two hens in hand, but alive.

She brought up the matter of the live chicken from her space, but no one saw it anyway, so she went out for a while and came back and said that she bought it from the market.

After everyone had finished their breakfast, Xia Qiyue brought An Youde and An Zihao into the kitchen and started making crispy candies.

Fortunately, there were still [-] catties of peanuts crushed last time, which was enough this time. Xia Qiyue asked An Dong and An Liang to continue peeling peanuts, and asked An Sijin and An Cheng to crush the peeled peanuts. Just let his younger brother Xia Xinghe kill the chicken.

Eat chicken and stewed potatoes at night. In winter, eat some stew and drink some hot soup to keep you warm.

In fact, it was easier for women to do jobs like peeling peanuts, but Xia Qiyue didn't need so many people, and she also appreciated the character of these people, so she used it like this.

Just as the three of them were about to start pulling candy, Xia Jiuyue hurried over with the gloves she made.

"I just wanted to ask if you finished it! This is great!" Xia Qiyue took the gloves, and then put them on for herself. "You can also learn how to put them on, so as not to burn your hands!"

Ask An Youde and An Zihao to quickly put on their gloves.

Xia Jiuyue handed over the gloves made for the two of them, and then said to Xia Qiyue, "Sister, I'm going back to the house."

Ke'er was still waiting to play with her.

After the three of them had gloves, they didn't need to blow their hands for a while, and their movements quickly started.

Each time they make [-] catties of crisp candy, this amount is their current speed, because peeling peanuts only takes about [-] catties a day, too much can not be peeled, and pulling candy is very tiring, Xia Qiyue doesn't want to embarrass herself too much .

After all, 400 taels of silver for a hundred catties of crisp candy is enough for her not to be greedy.

When the three of them came out after making one hundred catties of crispy candy, their arms were a little sore, and An Cheng and An Sijin just happened to crush the peanuts.

Xia Qiyue took out the milk bottle that she had dried herself, and everyone sat around and began to fill the sugar.

Xia Qiyue handed over the task of packing the candy to them, went back to the house, dressed up and put on makeup before quietly leaving the door.

She wants to see how the crisp candy is selling and how Li Ji's business is doing today.

But she has to dress up so that the fat shopkeeper can't recognize her, so she has to go over to have a look quietly.

It was the warmest time of the day at this time, Li Ji was full of people and customers came like a cloud, Xia Qiyue followed the flow of people into the shop.

I saw that everyone had a piece of halva in their hands. She was a little curious and walked towards the halva counter.

But there was someone guarding it, and a customer could only buy one copy, and it was sold in bundles, so he had to buy other products for two taels of silver to buy a bottle of halva.

Many of them come with their companions, but they can only buy one copy to go home.

The fat shopkeeper has been walking around in the shop, but Xia Qiyue made a change, and he didn't recognize it.

Xia Qiyue looked at the disjointed smile on Fat Shopkeeper's face, and knew that Sutang's business was easy to do.

Instead of buying halva, she bought a pound of candied peaches and went home.

Xia Xinghe was killing chickens and cleaning them up. He was only ten years old, but he could do everything. Xia Qiyue knew that when his younger siblings were at home, they could do all sorts of jobs, so they practiced all kinds of skills.

"Big sister, are you back?" Xia Xinghe looked at Xia Qiyue who was nothing like usual, but recognized him immediately, and greeted her.

"Well, I'll help you!" Xia Qiyue stepped forward to help, but Xia Xinghe avoided her.

"Farewell to Eldest Sister, this Mai Tai, you'd better go help Second Sister!"

Xia Qiyue didn't force it, she suddenly remembered that there was something else to do, the food was piled up on the ground, and she had to buy sacks to store it.

He ran back to his room and changed back into his own clothes. After removing the makeup on his face, he went out to buy sacks and came back.

The grocery store was not far from their home, and it arrived soon. Xia Qiyue bought a hundred sacks of one hundred catties in one go, and only spent one hundred silver.

The sacks are quite cheap, and the quality is particularly good. There is a lot of work done this day, all the crispy candies are packed, and the remaining 50 catties of peanuts are almost peeled.

The dinner is still rich, white rice with chicken stewed potatoes, and a little fried cabbage, very refreshing and delicious.

Xia Jiuyue glanced at the two eggs in Liangzi's sleeve pocket. She thought the boy would save them for lunch when he was hungry, didn't he?
