For the next few days, Zisu didn't dare to go out, she was afraid that the rabbit that carried her great hope would suddenly give her a devastating despair, even when she went to bed at night, she would keep her eyes open, Get up every now and then to have a look.

In this way, on the seventh day, Zisu saw that the litter of rabbits should be able to survive without accidents, so she thought of going to the town again to inquire about the market of the rabbits.

After hearing what Zisu said about going to the town, Aunt Tao didn't object like last time. She took out the last sweet potato and brought it to Zisu. She pointed to the small basket of grains and asked Zisu: "What are you going to use these for?"

"Let's put it aside for now, and when spring comes, we will sow seedlings and grow food ourselves."

Aunt Tao stood there in a daze, before hesitating for a while before asking: "Is this possible?"

Zi Su paused for a moment, "Is it okay, you will only know after you have to do it."

Aunt Tao didn't say much, and sent Zisu out.

The third brother and fourth sister also got up when they heard the movement, and wanted to follow, but after hearing Zisu's words to keep an eye on the rabbit, they gave up the idea, and only imitated Aunt Tao's words to tell her to be more careful.

After walking for about an hour and a half, it was the busiest time when we arrived in the town.Like the last time, Zisu went to the places where the big families threw out their garbage first, and put the useful ones into her back basket when she saw them.After turning around these places, I went to the back kitchens of several hotels, but there was still nothing in the slop bucket.

Zi Su was about to leave when the door that she didn't want to close was opened with a creak, and a thick woman in a blue cloth shirt came out with a big basin cursing.

"I really know how to find the time. I am sick at this time, and there are so many bowls in the back kitchen. Who will wash it?"

Zisu paused when she heard this, turned around quickly after leaning slightly, and walked up to meet the strong woman, "Auntie."

"Go, go, go, where did you come from, little beggar, I have nothing to give here." The strong woman poured the soup in the basin into the slop bucket, turned around and was about to leave.

Zisu hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of her, "Auntie, I can do the dishes."

The strong woman took a step forward, looked up and down critically, and hummed, "You know how to wash dishes? No one is as tall as a stove."

"I will, I really will." Zisu said anxiously, flicked up her tattered sleeves, and walked inside, "Auntie, take a look first, if it doesn't work, then drive me away."

Without waiting for the strong woman to open her mouth, she walked to the side of the big muddy wooden basin in the middle of the yard, untied the bamboo basket on her back, and started to wash the dishes and bowls.

The strong woman looked at the side for a while, frowned slightly and said: "Even if you know how to wash, I can't start paying you."

There was a gloomy look on Zisu's face, but the next moment, when she saw the leftovers and leftovers on the scattered plates, her eyebrows lit up, she pointed to the leftovers and leftovers, and looked up at Zhuang. The woman said: "Auntie, I don't want wages. Let me take these away, okay?"

The strong woman looked over with her fingers, leaned back slightly, looked back at Zisu, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, but let's talk, if you can't wash it clean, I won't obey."

Zisu nodded repeatedly.

Dishes were poured down from the front hall in a steady stream. Zisu buried her head in the struggle with the dirty dishes one after another. After a while, she felt that her hands were sore and her feet were numb, but she could see the small wooden basin on the side. When the leftovers and leftovers are getting higher and higher, I feel that I have endless energy.

Two hours later, there were almost no dishes removed in front of her. Zisu raised her head and wiped the sweat from her brow, only then did she feel that her stomach was burning with hunger.She took out the sweet potato that Mrs. Tao gave her, peeled the skin, and ate it in small bites.

"Come over for dinner."

A slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ear.

Zi Su raised her head, facing a dark and gentle face, it was the uncle chef who was in charge of the spoon.Seeing Zisu looking at him, he grinned at Zisu and pushed a bowl of white rice to Zisu.

"Come and eat."

Zisu met the chef's smiling face embarrassingly, shook her head and said in a dull voice, "Thank you uncle, I..."

The uncle chef sighed, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this is my share, and the proprietress won't say anything about you."

Zisu felt a slight warmth in her heart, thought for a while, stepped forward, picked up the bowl of rice, and said to the chef, "Thank you, uncle."

"Hey, don't thank me, eat it quickly." After saying that, I put a piece of green vegetables into the perilla bowl.

This was the first time Zisu ate white rice these days, and the glutinous aroma made her almost swallow it with her tongue.Not to mention the small green vegetables fried in oil, she swears, even the abalone eaten in the previous life, the fresh wings are not as fragrant as this bowl of rice.

Zisu ate a small bowl of rice with a pious attitude, and refused the uncle chef's offer to add another bowl for her.She knew that in this kind of small hotel, the boss is also strict with the cooks, and the meals are all rationed.

After the uncle chef had finished his meal and brought a teacup to drink, Zisu scrubbed the stove, took a broom and sprinkled water on the ground to clean it up.After everything was settled, she thought for a while, stepped forward and said softly: "Uncle, does our hotel accept wild game?"

"Oh, you can take it too, but not much." Chef Li, who was about forty years old, looked at Zisu, who was dressed in tatters but was tidied up in front of him, and said softly, "What's the matter? Someone in your family is hunting. ?"

Zisu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "In our remote mountains, we occasionally catch rabbits and pheasants, and want to exchange them for copper coins, but I don't know where to exchange them."

Chef Li said with a smile: "It depends on the time. If it's a market day, it's better to sell it. If it's not very popular in normal times, of course, if there are licensed traders from the north and the south, the sales will be even better."

"Then uncle, how many copper coins can a rabbit exchange for?"

"That depends on whether your rabbit is dead or alive, big or small." Seeing that Zisu's eyes were blank, Chef Li said, "If it's five or six catties of live hares, I usually exchange twenty or so. Copper coins can be exchanged for about [-] coins when there is a market, and if there are licensed merchants who want to eat wild leaves, then fifty or so are also possible."

Zi Su's eyes brightened when she heard this, thinking that there were six wild rabbits in the family, and when they were raised smoothly, they could still lay rabbits. The reproductive ability of rabbits is very strong. Calculated as a litter of two months, a female rabbit There can be six litters a year, and there are at least six or seven litters in one litter. Excluding the ones that cannot be raised, there will be three or four litters anyway.

The smile in Zisu's eyes became stronger and stronger, because of the visible hope.

"Hey, uncle, thank you." Zisu stood up, seeing that it was getting late, and planned to talk to the proprietress and take away the leftovers.

It just so happened that the proprietress had reconciled the account and was walking from the front hall, looking at the backyard that Zisu had tidied up properly, she nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zisu, "Where do you live? If it's nearby, within two days Come here, Mrs. Xia, who was working before, is sick, so you can take care of her for a few days."

Zisu wanted to establish a good relationship with the proprietress, and also wanted to pack the leftovers, so she nodded quickly and said, "I live near here, and I can come here in a few days."

"That's good." The proprietress nodded, pointed to the leftovers and leftovers in the wooden basin, and said, "Take all these away."

"Thank you aunt, thank you aunt."

Zi Su hurriedly bowed ninety degrees to the proprietress, causing the proprietress to laugh so much that her fat body trembled.
