Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 20 Relief
In the kitchen, Liu Jiangbei sat quietly by the fire of the stove, holding a book in his hand, looking at the fire in the pond from time to time.

Liu Qingcao lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. The rice in it couldn't be drained yet, so she had to wait.

There was no food at home, so Liu Jiangbei was naturally unprepared. Liu Qingcao turned around, went to the house, and took a piece of lean meat, a cucumber, three eggs, and a green onion.

Liu Qingcao washed and cut the vegetables. When the rice in the pot was drained, she hurriedly picked up the ladle, brushed the pot, poured the oil, added the meat, stir-fried and then added the cucumbers.

For three eggs, Liu Qingcao made egg custard and steamed it on the rice. When the rice was ready, the egg custard was ready.

During this period of time, Liu Qingcao had a good meal, one is to replenish her body, and the other is that she can continue to make money and doesn't want to treat herself badly.

After eating like this for a while, Liu Qingcao felt that she and Liu Jiangbei had grown fleshy, at least their complexions looked ruddy and shiny, and their strength also increased a lot.

"Jiangbei, don't look at it, wash your hands and eat." Liu Qingcao served cucumber fried meat and egg custard to the table, and returned to add more rice.

"Sister, I'm like a young master now, I eat meat every day." Liu Jiangbei smiled and showed a few teeth, with crooked eyes.

Ever since his sister found potatoes from the mountain, he felt like a dream, eating white rice and meat, which was better than his friends in the village.

Last time, he asked his sister worriedly, if they eat like this, will they make the family poor, and there will be no food in the future, the sister told him, no, and their family will get better and better, and he can Go to school.

Liu Qingcao nodded with a smile: "Jiangbei is the young master of our family, but the young master is not so easy to be. We in Jiangbei should eat well and grow up quickly. When we grow up, we can find a job to support the family. Let my sister Take it easy."

"Yeah, I want to grow up quickly so that I can help my sister." Liu Jiangbei nodded vigorously and answered Liu Qingcao seriously.

Liu Qingcao patted his head and told him to eat quickly, the food was cold after a while.

After dinner, Liu Jiangbei consciously went to read a book.

Liu Qingcao cut the big firewood dragged back into knots outside the yard, and piled them up neatly.

The old man Niu told her yesterday that he would not come this afternoon because he had something to do.

Liu Qingcao was alone, and his efficiency was really low, his hands were sore and limp, and he didn't see much of it.

Thinking that the saw would be finished tomorrow, Liu Qingcao put down the machete, picked up the hoe, and went to the wasteland on one side.

The wasteland is next to my own land, and it needs to be reclaimed to grow things. There are many stones, roots and weeds in the wasteland, and it is not easy to clean up.

When Liu Qingcao was digging the ground, seeing that the land was close to her, she had the idea of ​​opening up wasteland.

She is small and weak, and she has been busy all afternoon in the sun, but she just cleared out the rocks on it. The grass roots and tree roots buried in the soil are the most troublesome. Liu Qingcao didn't want to eat herself into a fat man .

Seeing that the sun was setting, she hurried home to cook and eat. After eating, Liu Qingcao went to the firewood room to fetch pigs into the water. The pig's head began to be cleaned. After washing, it was already dark. Liu Qingcao lit the oil lamp and started to marinate the meat.

In order to prevent the stewed meat from spoiling, Liu Qingcao made two big basins of ice and put them in the firewood room.

"Well, go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow."

Liu Qingcao yawned, and touched the bed lightly, for fear of waking Liu Jiangbei up.

The next morning, Liu Qingcao got up from the bed in a jerk and made breakfast. Because she was afraid of delaying Ge Hongshan's business, she woke up early.

After breakfast, Liu Qingcao taught Liu Jiangbei a few more words, then put on a basket on his back, got into the bullock cart and went to town.

Before Liu Qingcao reached Huibailou, she saw Ge Hongshan standing at the gate from a distance, walking non-stop, and looking ahead.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Liu Qingcao also quickened her pace.

Because Shi Tianxia was on the opposite building, Ge Hongshan was afraid that the shopkeeper on the opposite side would rob Liu Qingcao if he knew about him, so he deliberately avoided it.

After seeing Liu Qingcao appearing, he turned back to the building with peace of mind, waiting for her arrival.

Liu Qingcao naturally saw through Ge Hongshan's petty thoughts, so she ignored it and went to the accountant with a basket on her back.

In the account room, Lin Er took the pannier from Liu Qingcao's back.

The smell of meat emanating from the basket made him almost unable to resist stretching out his hand.

"Gerber, the things have already been brought, you can try to buy them first and see how they sell, if they sell well, I'll add more, if they don't sell well, I'll buy less, after all, it's hot, so I can't help but put them away. "

Liu Qingcao only bought a pair of pig bottoms and a pig's head this time. She just started making, and she didn't dare to make too much. I'm afraid it will be damaged if I buy it badly. I'm not afraid of ice in the woodshed at home. There is no ice here. about there.

Ice is a rare item at this time, and she still wants to keep it for later and sell it for money, but she won't reveal it to Ge Hongshan casually.

After Liu Qingcao handed over the stewed meat, she left Huibailou, went to the meat stall, and bought the goods to be delivered tomorrow.

She herself felt that the sales of stewed meat would not be bad, and she would send more tomorrow.

In fact, there are only three meat stalls in the town, which is as high as the sky. There are at most three pigs a day, and there are only three pigs in the water. If there are more, they can only go to farther county towns.

Liu Qingcao would not waste time on a few pairs of pigs, since there are only so many, then only sell those, and stop when they are sold out.

In order to prevent the raw meat from becoming popular, Liu Qingcao bought all the offal from the three meat stalls, and ordered the offal and pig's head for tomorrow.

In the vegetable market, Liu Qingcao walked around and bought some fungus and lotus root segments. I still have other things at home, so I don't need to buy any more. Now she has to go to the town every day, so it's better to eat fresh ones.

At the iron shop, Liu Qingcao got the saw she wanted.

Seeing how she looked at this strange iron baby, Liu Dazhuang also became curious.

"Little girl, what is your iron sheet for?"

Liu Qingcao didn't answer by herself, but after putting the things in the back basket, she raised her head and said with a smile.

"Uncle Liu, I use it to saw firewood. I have little strength, and it takes a lot of effort to cut large firewood. I was cut by grass on the mountain that day, so I thought of this method, and I don't know if it will work."

"Oh?" Liu Dazhuang lowered his eyebrows and said in thought, "I think it's feasible."

"Well, I see, thank you Uncle Liu, I'll go first."

Liu Qingcao gave the rest of the money and went out of the shop. Liu Dazhuang looked at her back and thought about it. Liu Hu who was beside him saw his father in a daze, very puzzled!

"Father, everyone is gone, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I think this girl is quite smart, let's go and get busy." Liu Dazhuang patted Liu Hu on the shoulder, turned around with a smile and went to blacksmith.

Liu Qingcao got into the ox cart and started the return journey. Unlike before, the old man Niu actually took the initiative to talk to her.

"If you don't want to run back and forth, I can go, and you have to provide me with a meal."

Liu Qingcao was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound, then nodded in agreement, she wished that someone could run errands for her, so that she could save a lot of time to burn the kiln.

Because of yesterday's incident, Liu Qingcao was still a little cautious, but now that the old man Niu took the initiative to speak up, Liu Qingcao didn't worry so much, as long as he is a good person, no matter who he is, he is not interested in asking about some things.

Didn't there be a saying, 'The less you know, the longer you live', she couldn't believe it, a modern person like herself can't beat an ancient one like him!
