The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 551 Two happy families

Bai Meixi sealed the jars of spicy rabbit heads with yellow mud and prepared to take them to Tong County to sell. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, every household is preparing new year's goods. These jars of rabbit meat are also considered local specialties. There should be some. At the market, she piled the rabbit meat in the corner of the kitchen and counted the quantity carefully.

The amount of rabbit meat now weighs at least dozens of kilograms. The price of pickled food is much more expensive than fresh food. Households will not buy too much, and the sales need to be investigated.

"Host, if you think this spicy rabbit meat is good, we will make more. There are still a lot of chili peppers." Aunt Liu pointed to the remaining chili peppers. She had already made them into chopped chili peppers as a side dish. It is eaten as a side dish with rice, and is now used to marinate rabbit meat. It is not only clean and hygienic, but also more flavorful than fresh chili peppers.

"No need for now, these are enough."

Bai Meixi has never tried the market for spicy rabbit meat, so she doesn't dare to marinate too much at once, for fear that if she can't sell it, Aunt Liu and her family will have to eat it. My throat will be so hot that I can't even speak.

"How about we kill the rabbits and put the rabbit meat in the icehouse, where the temperature is low and can be stored for a long time." Aunt Liu saw Bai Meixi's expression of confusion and immediately found a way out for the rabbit meat. , Bai Meixi had to cook a lot of meals every day, as long as the rabbit meat is kept, it will be useful when Bai Meixi needs a lot of meals.

She has tasted all the rabbit meat, and it tastes good when stir-fried with peppers and onions. She can also roast the rabbit and make soup and dishes, which are no worse than the dishes she made before.

"These meats are too fishy. If you put so much rabbit meat in the freezer, the smell of other things will be lost, and days that require a lot of meals will have to wait for a few days." Bai Meixi is not sure about herself She still had to stay in the camp for a few days. She didn't want to turn the cold storage into a morgue, so she rejected Aunt Liu's idea again.

The big kitchen was silent again. Aunt Liu couldn't think of an idea and kept biting her nails. Bai Meixi raised her head and looked at the bacon on the beam. She suddenly got an idea. Pork can be made into bacon, and rabbit meat can also be used. It can be made into cured rabbit meat. After it is dried, it can be stored for a longer time without any fishy smell. It will be no problem to eat it until next year.

"Aunt Liu, ask the two children to bring back a few more rabbits later. Let's make all these rabbits into bacon to prevent them from multiplying and destroying the crops."

After Bai Meixi thought of a method, she acted with Aunt Liu, and several children also came to help. A group of people circled around the field, and actually managed to lure back dozens of hares, and many of them were running around in the field.

Bai Meixi felt that she would no longer have to buy meat when making fast food. All she had to do was stew the rabbits, which would be enough to sell for several days.

She skinned and cleaned the rabbits, roasted the rabbit meat and put it in the sun to dry. The rabbit skins were washed and processed again. The fur of these rabbits was very soft. If they were sewn together, they could be made into nice-looking scarves or gloves. , can also create an extra income.

Aunt Liu's two sons have been catching hares outside, and they are eager to take advantage of this opportunity to catch all the hares in the fields. These fluffy snow balls are piled together and actually occupy most of the kitchen area.

Aunt Liu and her sister were responsible for butchering and dehairing, while Bai Meixi was responsible for roasting and seasoning. Suddenly, the kitchen was bustling with people and shadows of people and hares everywhere. Aunt Liu's family and Bai Meixi were busy at work. It took an afternoon to finish processing the rabbits, and hung rows of rabbit meat in the yard to dry.

After solving these big troubles, the conditions in the fields improved a lot. Aunt Liu's son went around twice and couldn't find a single hare. Finally, he cleared away the culprits who destroyed crops.

"If you catch more rabbits, just send them back to the nest. Don't kill them all. We should focus on raising and breeding them." Bai Meixi gave a few instructions, asking them not to kill all these hares. If this time If the spicy rabbit meat and air-dried rabbit meat sell well, they will become their main products in the future. Even the rabbits may not be enough to eat.

There were a lot of oil stains on her body, so she quickly went back to the bedroom to change clothes. The calendar on the wall was the latest for this year. Bai Meixi put a red circle on today's date. She was stunned for a moment before she remembered that today was actually Liu. A payday for both my aunt and my family.

She felt a little embarrassed that she had forgotten such an important day, so she immediately found Aunt Liu with the money.

"Aunt Liu, this is your family's salary for this month. If I forget it again next time, be sure to remind me." Bai Meixi handed the money to Aunt Liu, and she distributed it to other members of the family.

Today, the red envelopes she gave to Aunt Liu's family were particularly generous. Aunt Liu's family received a salary of 80 yuan, and her sister's family also received 60 yuan, which was much more than the price they had negotiated before.

"Boss, this is too much. We haven't done much work, how can we get so much money from you?" Aunt Liu was flattered when she saw the money, and she refused to take it several times. Her family was from a farmer's family, and she was so poor in the field. The work in the field is just a piece of cake, not tiring at all.

"Everyone has done enough work this month. They prepare meals from morning to night every day and work overtime even in the middle of the night. They also have to build additional houses and raise livestock here. It is appropriate to give them more money."

Bai Meixi remembered how much work everyone had done. Everyone's life was really hard this month. She had already planned to increase everyone's wages. Now these are all the labor income of Aunt Liu and her family.

She forced the money into Aunt Liu's hand and told her to accept it, otherwise she would have to find another family to come here.

"Then I'd like to thank my boss. I'm so grateful to my boss." Aunt Liu and her family were very grateful after receiving the money. Before, they worked outside and could only get so much in half a year. How could they live like this? So comfortable.

She handed the 60 yuan to her sister's hand. She was flattered by such a large amount of money and couldn't believe it even after counting it several times.

"This money is really for us? Sister, is this true?"

Aunt Liu's sister couldn't believe it. She actually stood in the middle of the courtyard and cried with joy. The strong sense of happiness made Aunt Liu's family very motivated. They wished they could do more work for Bai Meixi so that they could be worthy of the wages Bai Meixi gave them.

"Boss, I see so much land is vacant. It's such a pity. Now that the houses and warehouses are almost built, we have time to farm. How about we plant all that land."

Aunt Liu's cousin-in-law, Han Shitou, has been inspecting the fields for the past two days and found that there is a lot more free land than before. Now that both people and land are idle, it is perfectly possible to grow vegetables, sweet potatoes and other things. These things have high yields and are ripe. Come on, they are all crops that can be harvested regardless of drought or flood.
