Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 18 Sweet Potato Sprouts
The terrain here is remote, and there are no entertainment activities on weekdays other than going to the market for the New Year and the holidays. The breaking news that the dandy owner of Qinjiazhuang is chasing a married woman has instantly become a topic of entertainment for the villagers of Tianshui Village after dinner.

However, the other women in the village were envious and jealous of Tian Liusu, and secretly oppressed her for being unfeminine, and used coquettish techniques to seduce Qin Baozhu.

Tian Liusu shook his head, do you want to gossip like this?

"Hey, Mrs. Su, did you buy so many things? Where did the chicken and sheep come from?"

Due to the terrain, Tianshui Village has a poor harvest, and most of the tenants in the village are poor. They are the poorest villages in the surrounding villages. For the tenants of Tianshui Village, raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep at home is the talent of wealthy families. affordable.

In the entire Tianshui Village, only the village chief's family and a few villagers who did long-term work for other landlords raised chickens, sheep, cattle and pigs. Several villagers saw that Tian Liusu had brought back chickens and sheep, and they all surrounded him curiously. Come up to inquire about the situation.

"Of course I bought it in the town. Do you think it was given by someone else or stolen?" Tian Liusu knew what they were thinking, and most likely thought it was given to her by Qin Baozhu. He is now an empty shell. , I have a hard time, so I have something extra to give to her?
"Ah, Mrs. Su, have you done any profitable business recently? How can you afford live animals like chickens and sheep?"

A few days ago, some villagers heard that Tian Liusu had sold something to the pharmacy in the town, but they didn't take it seriously. They thought that even if she was a woman with some literary talent and could read a few words, what could she accomplish?If she is really capable and able to make money, why was she so poor in her previous life?
"I made a little money to support my family." Tian Liusu chatted impatiently with these villagers, and just said a simple sentence, then turned around and walked back.

Seeing their figures going away, several villagers began to discuss that since this lady Su died of poisoning last time and miraculously came back to life, she is completely different from before. Not only did the field work go much smoother , Even the house is well-organized, and even the two children have become lively, round and cute, not as yellow and thin as before, dirty and ugly.

When Tian Liusu returned home, he gathered all the items he had bought and put them away. He took out a piece of roe deer meat marinated last time and cut it into cubes. Stir-fried it with dried mushrooms and dried day lilies, boiled it and made it into meat scorpion, and rolled it with a bowl of white noodles. The noodles were boiled and hand-rolled, boiled in the pot, removed and poured with meat soup, and several people had a delicious meal.

"Mother, can we often eat meat and eggs in the future?" Lele asked Tian Liusu, blinking her dark eyes.

"Yes, An An Le Le, we will not only eat meat and eggs, but also eat a lot of delicious food." Tian Liusu couldn't help smiling when he saw Le Le's longing eyes.

"Ma'am, you are really amazing. You can make new tricks on everything in your hands." Xue Ling has gradually become more talkative in the past few days. In addition to helping Tian Liusu, she also takes good care of her two children. It's appropriate, sometimes Tian Liusu is really thankful that she was saved that day, and then she was left behind. Having Xue Ling really relieved her of a lot of burdens.

After dinner, Sister-in-Law Song brought Zao Ya to visit the house. She hadn't been to Tian Liusu's house for a few days, and she came here again today to inquire about news after listening to the villagers' discussions.

"Hey, sister Liusu, you actually bought chicken and sheep?" Sister Song said with envy in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, sit down." Tian Liusu let her in.

"Sister, what business do you do to make money?" Sister Song asked a little embarrassed after sitting down.

Tian Liusu has been busy like a spinning top these days and never stopped. After hearing this, she smiled and said: "Yes, sister-in-law, Xizi and I went to the mountain to dig some Poria cocos, and I made some poria cocos. The ointment is sold to the shopkeeper Zhu of Tongrentang."

"Fu Ling, what is that? Sister, you still do these things?"

"Sister-in-law, it's a kind of medicinal material, and there are many in the mountains. It can be used to make poria cocos paste, which can cure diseases and maintain health. It is something rich people often eat."

"Sister-in-law, it's not easy to make this thing, and you have to go into the mountains to dig it. I have planted other good things in the field. If it succeeds, I will share the seeds with you, and you can plant some too."

Tian Liusu knew Sister-in-law Song's intentions, and seeing that she was embarrassed to say so, she offered to give half of the sprouts to Sister-in-law Song if the sweet potatoes were successfully planted, and let her plant a piece of land. After all, Poria cocos paste is not a long-term business.

"Really? That's great, sister, I don't know how to thank you, but what is that sweet potato you're talking about?"

Seeing her asking, Tian Liusu told Sister-in-law Song about the planting of sweet potatoes and how to eat them after they were planted, and she heard that Sister-in-law Song was ignorant, joyful and excited, and her various emotions changed. constantly.

"Sister, I didn't expect this thing to have such a great use? Are you really willing to plant it for me?" Sister Song asked again eagerly.

"Naturally, as long as it can be planted successfully, Tassel won't be so stingy. With that, we won't be hungry anymore."

"Oh, that's a good relationship, sister, how did you know these things? Why didn't you use this ability before? If you had planted those sweet potatoes earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."

Tian Liusu felt a "thump" in her heart. After she passed through, she spent every day thinking about how to improve her life, but she actually forgot the life she lived in the past. The contrast between the front and the back is so natural that others will be suspicious. Even Mrs. Song has noticed it. Others must have suspected her long ago.

She pondered silently for a while, raised her head and looked at Sister Song with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I have suffered from a disease since I was a child, and I haven't recovered from it all these years. This disease will make my mind uneasy. It’s so good, I often forget the past, after I woke up from the last attack, I took Laoliangtou’s medicine, and I remembered a lot of past events, which I knew before.”

She thought of such an ambiguous and easy-to-accept reason, and passed it on to the villagers through Mrs. Song, which would reduce the villagers' suspicion of her.

"Ah, that's the way it is, sorry to see you, no wonder you woke up very different from the last time you got sick."

It seems that Mrs. Song can still accept this reason, Tian Liusu thought to herself.

"Sister, don't you have chicken coops and sheep pens in your yard? It just so happens that Zao Ya's father came back and asked her to weave a chicken coop and build a sheep pen for you tomorrow, so that you can accumulate some fertilizer by then."

Sister-in-law Song saw that Tian Liusu was so straightforward, and felt sorry for her illness, and she had nothing to repay her, so she thought of doing some work for Tian Liusu to repay her.

"That's good. I just don't know how to make this. I was a little worried just now. If Brother Song has free time, let him make one for me."
