Fertile land

Chapter 12

"Dad, this basket is full of shepherd's purses. I saw some meat from the cut yesterday and thought I could make dumplings!"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! If you want to be beautiful, you won't have a share!"

Zhou added a sentence!
Old Man Li glanced at her and shut up immediately!

"Dad, there are other things down there!"

"look!"

She removed the shepherd's purse on top, revealing a snakeskin bag wrapped in large leaves.

Luo Zhi'er opened the leaves and said, "Dad, this bag contains wild beehives. You should be able to get out ten or twenty kilograms of honey juice!"

Lao Litou was delighted, this is a good thing!

Li Zhuzhen was the happiest. The honey juice was sweet and she liked drinking it very much.

They are sold in town, but my mother is reluctant to buy them.

Looking at the honey oozing out of the snakeskin bag, my eyes lit up...

In this era, there is not much good food to eat in the countryside, and a packet of sugar would make people drool with envy...

Not to mention so much honey!

"Humph! It's almost there!"

Luo Zhi'er saw Liu Liu standing aside and swallowing her saliva, so he broke off a piece for her and fed it into her mouth. It was so sweet that her eyes widened...

"Thank you, third aunt."

"Liu Liu is good!"

"Dad, here it is! You and mother drink it together!"

Everything else was given to the head of the Lao Li family!
"Hey!"

Old Man Li quickly took it.

Ask the boss to find a wooden basin and other things to filter honey...

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and looked at Ms. Zhou's face which softened slightly. It seemed that the third brother and sister were going to get through safely again. How were they going to deal with the matter of secretly eating oil shuttles?
She didn't like it at first. What's the hive?
Just honey?

It's not that I haven't seen it before!

There are a lot of things for sale in the town, but you only need money to buy them, and they have to be exchanged for water.

She couldn't ask her mother for everything. After all, her sister-in-law was not someone to be trifled with...

When I got closer, my eyes widened!
There are actually several large honeycombs, which may be able to filter out a lot of honey. It is worth hundreds of coins at least!

This honey juice is not only sweet, but also good for the skin. She will have to drink some later...

A group of little carrot heads followed Li Daqiang to get honey. From time to time, the four boys couldn't help but dig a piece of honey with their fingers and feed it to their mouths. They were chased by Mr. Zhou and scolded...

Li Gui also ran out and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Mom, my mouth hurts because I'm tired from studying. Can you drink some of this honey first?"

"Hey, Mommy, I'm going to give you a flush of water right now. You go in and study!"

Mrs. Zhou went all the way to give her Yao'er some honey water to drink!
"Mom, I want to drink too!"

Li Zhuzhen quickly ran in with her butt...

The boss Li Daqiang, who was so angry that he was busy working as a coolie, frowned.

Luo Zhi'er then took out everything in the basket one by one, including some mushrooms, acorns, fungus and the like.

They think honey is still valuable, so just look at these things.

"Tch, there's nothing valuable left?"

Little Zhou was a little disappointed.

"Dad, if you mix this colin fungus with animal oil and fry it together, you can make coriander fungus oil. It's very delicious and fragrant."

"My wife thought that since there is no shortage of lard in the house, she could make it into fir fungus oil and sell it in the town. She would definitely make money."

Old Li's eyes lit up. Who in this world doesn't want to find a way to make money, but who spreads his own things to others?
This chicken fir oil looks good, yes, but...

"Third daughter-in-law, is this fir fungus oil really edible?" Don't poison people to death.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll make it later. You taste it first. If you're worried, my wife will taste it first. It's okay, you guys can give it a try..."

"Hey, hey!"

This is a good method. When Lao San goes hunting, his family has quite a lot of animal oil!
"And this acorn..."

"Haha, third daughter-in-law, let's forget about this acorn! We've all eaten it, it's bitter and astringent, who would buy it if you take it out?"

"That's right, even the pigs won't eat it!"

Little Zhou immediately added something!

"Dad, when the acorns are dry, I will make you a delicious dish. It will definitely not be astringent or bitter!"

Lao Li was very happy. This third daughter-in-law spends all day thinking about food, so it's okay. Let's talk about it then!

"Dad, have you eaten?"

"Oh, not yet!"

Speaking of this, their third son was really dissatisfied. He had originally sold the money and wanted to buy a bowl of noodles in the town and then come back!

Mr. Zhou said that he would refining oil when he returned home!

He also said that there are three daughters-in-law at home, and the food has been prepared. It is not easy for the three daughters to hunt, so what are they doing with the money?
He is also a person who has saved his whole life. Thinking about it, he has a lot of money to spend at home, and he also wants to build a house together...

Many people in the village have built houses, some of which are brick and tile houses. His family still lives in an old mud house, which still leaks when it rains...

Lao Wu is about to start school and gets another 20 taels.It’s probably not even close to selling the wheat!
Save a little bit, so I gave up the idea of ​​eating noodles. The second brother looked unhappy, and he pretended not to see...

My stomach was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back, and I came back miserable, and this is what happened...

If the gallbladder oil she mentioned becomes available, wouldn't it be a profitable business?

The two children of the oldest family and the eldest son of the second oldest family are all old enough to study.

Boss and second child were mentioned in front of him several times.

It has been delayed for a year...

This fir fungus oil might be able to solve his urgent need!

Luo Zhi'er saw that Lao Litou's face was livid and his expression had changed. He was probably in a bad mood, "Dad, you have to rest first, and my wife will prepare something delicious for you!"

After saying this, Luo Zhi'er turned around and ordered Mrs. Zhou: "Sister-in-law, please help me pick and wash these matsutake mushrooms. Second sister-in-law, please go to the vegetable garden and pull out some green onions, garlic seedlings, and some ginger!"

"Dad, my clothes are dirty, go in and change and then go cook!"

"Eh!"

Get ready to go to your room...

"What? This little hoof, who is she commanding?"

Little Zhou was very angry!
Mrs. Chen’s veil was almost torn to pieces!

Luo Zhi'er stopped, lowered his eyes, and suddenly said to Lao Litou: "Dad, there are so many mouths to eat in this family, and the wife alone sometimes has more than enough to eat."

"It's just like today. Dad, when you come back, you don't have anything to eat."

"My wife hopes that the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law can also take on what they should do and cook and do housework when I am not around, instead of just waiting for me to serve everyone..."

Old Man Li looked at her with unclear meaning in his cloudy eyes. This third daughter-in-law actually said these words?Know how to maximize your own interests...

In the past, I was naive and thought she was honest and stupid. This family was indeed very unruly and increasingly disgraceful.

Without their third wife, wouldn’t they be able to eat?
The eyes under the shadow could not see the depth clearly, and said sternly,
"What are you still doing? We old men are so hungry that our chests are touching our backs. What the third daughter-in-law said is right. She doesn't know how to feel sorry for her own man. What are you doing marrying women like you! Do you want to eat? ?”

He also scolded Ms. Zhou in passing, and Mr. Zhou didn't dare to talk back even if he was dissatisfied!

"In that case, it's better to let the old Zhou family and the old Chen family come to pick them up!"

The two sisters-in-law were frightened and went to work reluctantly...
