The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 101 Becoming a Little Black Pig

At noon, Ye Qiu roasted three variegated fat rabbits, killed a big fish to make fish soup, added a lot of water shield, and made a bowl of egg soup. "Come and eat, don't work hungry."

"This food is pretty good. The fish is cut very well. It doesn't even taste like a thorn." Bai Yuhe first picked up the fish for Mrs. Wang before eating it herself.

"Chu Ying cut it. It wasn't very good before, but now it's getting better." Ye Qiu scooped the custard into Chu Ying's bowl and stirred it with the rice.

Chu Ying originally didn't like the way children eat, but Ye Qiu was so happy that Chu Ying let her do it. "How old are you and still eat like this?"

Chu Ying smiled and picked up a roasted rabbit leg and continued eating. "Chu Ying is weak, and the cooked eggs are afraid that she will choke and feel uncomfortable, so let her eat more."

"I'm 9 years old, I'm not a baby anymore. When I was 9 years old, I got up early and worked late at night to do farm work and housework. Ye Qiu, you can't spoil her like this." He took a fish head, ignoring his somewhat ugly face.

"Chu Ying might do it. Build a house, farm the land and make a pond. She lived a good life before I came. She is alone, so I want to love her more." Ye Qiu was wearing a blue embroidered skirt today. , although only 13 years old is only a few years older than himself, but the hair is pulled behind the ears and the light smile with the head bowed looks like a girl.

But in Chu Ying's eyes, it was like an old woman who had given birth to five or six children. She stuck out her tongue, and Chu Ying gnawed on the rabbit's leg.

"It's great to have someone who looks like an older sister. We want to have a girl in Naiyuan, so that we have an older sister who can take care of our younger siblings. Don't you think so?" Bai Yuhe looked at Meng who was being eaten by Chu Ying. This is for the funny Wang Naiyuan.

"It's all right. It doesn't matter if you're an older brother, you can take care of your younger sister." Wang Naiyuan patted Chu Ying's head naturally, but this seemed awkward to Bai Yuhe.

"Hey, finish work early and rest early." Bai Yuhe hurriedly finished her meal and continued to do her work.Wang Naiyuan picked up the rice grains from the corner of Chu Ying's mouth and ate them, his eyes were full of doting, "I ate it all over my face."

Chu Ying saw that something was wrong with Bai Yuhe's face, so she quickly cleaned up the last bite of rice. "We are married and still bully me and laugh at me, Aunt Wang, you have to take good care of Brother Wang."

"Your big brother Wang loves you, why is he bullying you, why don't you eat more after eating so much?" Aunt Wang pulled a rabbit's leg and handed it to Chu Ying.

"I'm full, Mrs. Wang, please eat more." Chu Ying scooped up all the harvested wheat with a dustpan and put them in sacks, and then they could move them to the attic.

"Chu Ying, you are pretending to be a lady. She usually eats three bowls of rice." Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu who was selling herself with a smile, rolled her eyes and continued to work.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people, and after another day of work, all the wheat was crushed and lifted into shells, and they were all bagged and carried up to the attic and placed in the bamboo basket. Chu Ying looked at the last wheat that fell into the bamboo basket, and she thought about it. not worried.

"The wheat is all ready now, you should rest more, I'll carry you down." Chu Ying bypassed Wang Naiyuan and climbed down the ladder by herself. Wang Naiyuan let go of the hand holding the ladder when she saw that Chu Ying was on the ground.

"Aunt Wang, take these two rabbits back and eat them first. I'll bring you some when the wheat is ready to be ground. I don't have anything at home, so I don't know how to thank you." The fat rabbit was tied up with straw and handed to Wang Naiyuan.

"The neighbors are talking about what to do. The wheat is no longer needed, so the rabbit is taken away. You have worked hard, so you don't need to give it away." Chu Ying looked at the two fat and oily rabbits and felt a little pain in her heart. , After they left, Chu Ying ran to the rabbit nest to count how many rabbits were still there. These days, building houses and grinding wheat were used to cook and everyone ate together. At first glance, there were a lot fewer.

"Don't look at it, the food is all male rabbits, and there is still a third of the male rabbits inside, it doesn't matter." Chu Ying looked at the male rabbits hiding in the corner surrounded by several female rabbits, Chu Ying can only let them take care of themselves, the task ahead is very difficult.

Ye Qiu helped put the plaster together, and Chu Ying built the stove in the previously painted area, but the painting was still a little different from what she thought, and Chu Ying pushed it down twice before building the stove.

In one room are two large stoves for cooking bamboo and hemp materials, which are built according to the enlarged version of the rocket stove, and in the other room are two larger stoves, which are fixed with plaster on bluestone After finishing everything, Chu Ying felt that her hands were about to break off, and her body was covered in plaster.

"Oh, I don't even want to wash these clothes anymore, take a look." Chu Ying took off her shoes and walked barefoot to the kitchen, looking at the still boiling water.

"Go and wash, the water has been put in, and the wooden barrel on it has been placed, and the big stopper is plugged in according to what you said. The water should be hot enough, and it's still burning." Ye Qiu took Chu Ying off. The dropped clothes and shoes were soaked in the tub, and when the water was released, the water became cloudy.

The large wooden bucket with the plug unplugged has quite a large amount of water, and it is very comfortable to take a shower. After washing, the water keeps pouring out. Chu Ying plugs the plug and leaves the rest for Ye Qiu. Boiling some water should be done. One more person can be washed.

"Have you washed it clean? Wash it for a while, you haven't taken a good bath these days, and you look a lot darker." Ye Qiu looked at Chu Ying wrapped in a large piece of cloth that she asked herself to sew with fine linen before. , "Why are you so wrapped up, put on your clothes soon."

"I'm already dark. I'll watch the fire, and I'll boil the water, so you can wash it well too." Chu Ying wrote down the accounts and put them in the basket. She has to go to the city tomorrow, and she has accumulated a lot of turpentine at home. It has to be exchanged for silver.

Chu Ying didn't realize how dark she was at first, but she didn't realize that she had grown dark again until she met Lu Ming who looked at him with disgust. "It's only been a few days, what have you been doing? You look so dark, if I didn't know you well, I wouldn't even recognize you."

"Is it that exaggerated? This is the bill. Take a look, it's still a tael short." Chu Ying took the copper mirror in Lu Ming's room and looked at herself. The face looks quite happy, but it is a bit dark.

"I just said, when the time comes, go to the cashier to get the money, and you can just take this small bronze medal. When will it be made? The ones you brought over are no longer enough." Chu Ying looked at the toilet paper that was torn in half It is being used by Lu Ming to wipe his nose.

"Soon, it will be delivered to you in a few days." Chu Ying felt that the first batch must have been swallowed up by Lu Ming, and only the second batch could make some profit.

"What is this?" Lu Ming took a small amount of turpentine and looked at it in his hand.

"It's turpentine, taken from a pine tree." Chu Ying wrapped all the pastries on Lu Ming's table with a handkerchief. She ate a lot of these, so she had to bring some back to Ye Qiu.

"Looks like a lot, do you have a family?" Lu Ming looked at Chu Ying, who was nodding with her mouth full of pastries, and felt that this little black pig was quite cute. It seemed that the pastries she asked the kitchen to make were quite cute. Love it, will make more next time.

"What about the pine tree? Don't you use it to make ink?" Chu Ying slowly chewed the pastry in her mouth. Chu Ying knew that pine trees could be used to make ink, but she didn't know the techniques for making ink, and these ancient techniques were not passed on to the outside world. Sakura tried to find out but couldn't find out.
