I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 51 The little fish takes the bait

"Hiss, it hurts, let go, let go!" Baoyu opened her hand, moved two steps to the side of the road, and said cleverly: "My brother-in-law! If the person you are going to marry in the future is not called brother-in-law, what is his name? He is also called Yang Ban. Boss, how often do you see people outside?"

"Brother-in-law?" Zhou Chenyu pursed his lips and smiled evilly. He walked over and put his arms around his shoulders: "Boy, it's useless for you to shout in front of me. He can't hear me. But if you dare to shout in front of Yang Xi, Brother-in-law, then I admire you."

in front of him?
Baoyu thought of the serious look on Bantou Yang's face. Just standing in front of him made him nervous and speechless.

This horoscope has not yet been mentioned, but he has the rashness to call someone's brother-in-law, so he must not be beaten to death with a stick.

Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Chenyu raised a smile and said, "Okay, if you don't dare to scream in front of him, then I will tell him personally. I said you want to recognize him as your brother-in-law and ask him to marry me quickly."

Baoyu chased after her like a dog, "Hey, hey, sister, this is unspeakable. It's better not to say it. I still want to save my life."

Zhou Chenyu refused, "Please beg me."

Baoyu immediately lowered his head, "Sister, I was wrong."

After a day of harvesting, several pieces of the originally golden rice field were bare. Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu were pushing things on the road when they saw two young adults carrying a huge square wooden groove into the field.

Then one person was responsible for bringing the cut rice ears to the square groove. Another person grabbed the rice ears and threw them in and slapped them. Two children walked around the entire field to see if there were any missing rice ears.

After turning another corner, they arrived at the entrance of Zhoujia Village. They saw a group of people gathered around to buy duck seedlings. You pushed me to the ground, for fear that if you were a step too late, someone would buy them away.

The few chickens I bought last time are already ready to lay eggs. There is still a lot of open space at home, so why not buy a few more ducks? It is now the end of June, and they will be ready to eat after half a year until the end of the year.

Zhou Chenyu wanted to go over and take a look, and saw two older people pushing and shoving, as if they were back to the group of people who crowded the bus to buy groceries during the morning rush hour.

"Hey, hey, old man, be careful not to fall at such an old age."

Zhou Chenyu supported the old woman who was about to fall down. The old woman thanked her and then rushed forward to pull her hair without giving up.

Zhou Chenyu was afraid that it would affect him, and even more afraid that the old man would bump into him. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it and hurriedly walked towards home.

"Mom, we are back!" Baoyu opened the courtyard door, and a group of about seven or eight little ducks were lying in the shade of the courtyard. Baoyu couldn't wait to share the joy, and searched for people all over the room, "Hey, the door is open, why is there no one there? ah?"

"Come on, come on, I'm here." Li Xiuju heard Baoyu's voice and came back with a basket of beans just picked from the vegetable garden. "These are the ducklings I just bought. They cost two cents each. They are so cheap. You guys. How is the sales of your sugar water going?"

Li Xiuju put down her things and opened her eyes to look at them.

Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu looked at each other. Baoyu took out a bag full of copper coins, proudly and a little proudly, and said with a smile: "Mom, all the taro ball syrup is sold out, more than 100 copper coins in total, business is good. , many people want to eat again after eating it.”

"Really?" Li Xiuju put down the vegetable basket, opened the lid of the pot and looked at it, "Great, they are all sold out. It seems that this sugar water business can really be done."

Baoyu nodded happily, "My sister and I are thinking about making more and selling them tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." Li Xiuju helped unload the things, "Are you hungry? Mom, can I cook some food for you?"

Zhou Chenyu walked all day and her feet were blistered. She lazily sat down and said, "Okay, I also want to eat yesterday's dried pickled radish, that's appetizing."

"Okay, mom will stir-fry a big plate again." Li Xiuju quickly went into the kitchen to work. After a while, she made a plate of spicy stir-fried pickled radish and an omelette with preserved vegetables.

The dried pickled radish still tasted the same as yesterday, with a slightly sour aroma and a bit of crispiness. It tasted sour and spicy, crunchy and crunchy after one bite, and I ate half of the plate without realizing it.

The preserved vegetable omelette uses dried radish that has been sun-dried a while ago, cut into small dices, stir-fried in oil until medium cooked, and finally poured in fresh egg liquid and fried into a pancake shape.

The dried radish is mixed into the omelette. It doesn't taste as pure and fragrant as the leek omelette. The taste is also mixed with the sweetness of the dried radish. Although there is no meat added, it is more satisfying than eating meat.

Li Xiuju had already eaten. When Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu were eating at the dinner table, she sat aside to pick beans. Seeing the two children eating so well, she felt heartbroken: "Are you starving after taking so long to eat lunch?"

Baoyu Ma Daha blurted out the truth, "Business is so good that I don't even bother to eat. After finishing the meal, all the customers left."

Li Xiuju paused, and Zhou Chenyu took a big mouthful of fried eggs into his mouth, "When no one came at first, we all drank a few bowls of taro ball sugar water. We didn't go into the city to buy food when we were full."

"How much can you fill up with sugar water? Just let me fool you."

Li Xiuju stared, and Zhou Chenyu stuck out his tongue.

Li Xiuju washed the beans and dried them, took out the salt and the jar for pickling the beans, sprinkled a handful of salt on the beans, let the beans evenly adhere to the salt, stuffed them all into the jar, and sealed it with water.

She said, "There is still some flour left over from the last time I made moxa glutinous rice. I will make some scallion pancakes for you to take with you tomorrow morning. If you are hungry, you can eat some to fill your stomach. Making money is important, but having enough food is even more important."

"it is good."

The best time to sell sugar water is in the hot summer, so Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu dare not stop. After dinner at night, they go to bed early and sleep until about four o'clock in the morning to get up to prepare a new round of sugar water to sell.

Li Xiuju got up the earliest. It was still dark outside the yard and there was already a fire in the kitchen.

Zhou Chenyu washed his face with the faint light, and the bright night was reflected in the basin. He raised his head, and the vast sky was right in front of him, "One, two, three, four, five... 25... …There are so many stars.”

Zhou Chenyu counted for a while, and the stars in the sky counted to the Year of the Monkey, Horse and Moon. She smiled, covered her face with a wet handkerchief, and sat quietly for a while.

In the past, I didn't get up until eight o'clock at work. After eight hours of sleep, I was still very sleepy. When I thought about having to face the intrigues in the office, it was no exaggeration to say that going to work was like going to the grave.

And now, although she wakes up at around four in the morning, she thinks that as long as she sells two pots of sugar water, she can arrange her time freely. There will be no intrigues among colleagues, no perverted KPI assessments, no bosses who can’t finish the pie, and no endless tasks. Daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports...

You get as much as you pay.

When she thought about it carefully, she seemed to have endless energy all over her body.

Just do it!

Yesterday's mung bean and taro ball syrup sold well, so Zhou Chenyu tried making another pot of red bean syrup.

Red beans and mung beans are sold cheaply. You can buy a pound of them for two cents. One pound of beans is boiled into sugar water and mixed with six or seven taro balls, but they can sell forty or fifty bowls. Excluding costs, they can earn more than 100 cents a day. .
