The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 63
"If there is a scar, how can I get married?" Ye Qiu carefully looked at Chu Ying's burn scar. Although it was almost scabbed, it still looked oozing.

"It's okay, aren't you still young, the scar will fade away in the future. There will be a lot of bumps and bumps in doing farm work." Although Chu Ying didn't mind it very much, looking at Ye Qiu's appearance, it seemed that the scalded scar was very serious.

"You can't get meat, you can't eat soy sauce, and the scars will not look good." The second young lady used to be a big deal even if she just cut her hand, but now she is so hurt that she is unmoved. It seems that the old man passed away. The blow to the second lady was really too great.

"Got it." Chu Ying pushed the frowning Ye Qiu out and went to sleep, "I'm going to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow, what do you want to buy? I'll help you. Or we can go together."

"Let's go together. I can carry things easily. I can't let you go shopping alone. Even if you can move it, I can't let you go to the market alone." Ye Qiu boiled some water to wash up, and put the things in the bag I took out 10 strings of money, and I didn't know how much the high-quality scald medicine in the medicine shop cost, so I took another 10 strings of money and put them in the bag.

Of the 3 taels of silver, 2 taels were given by the eldest lady. She told her not to tell the second lady, for fear that the second lady would not take it, and the other one tael was money saved by herself. As long as it can make the second lady live a good life , I can explain to the eldest lady when I go back by myself, and it’s okay to spend all of it myself.

The next day, Chu Ying woke up Ye Qiu after washing up. The city and the countryside are different, and the market in the countryside needs to get up earlier. "Get up quickly, you still have to ride the ox cart, you can sleep on the ox cart."

Chu Ying gave Ye Qiu a pannier, and carried one herself. These two panniers were lent to her by Wang Naiyuan, knowing that it would be inconvenient for her to bring things back without a pannier.At that time, when the farm work is not busy, let Wang Naiyuan meet his servant.

I don't have much land, so I can still handle the grass that grows rapidly in spring, but the Wang family has more land, and there is only Wang Naiyuan in the family, so the burden is heavier.

This time when she went to the city, Chu Ying wanted to buy some soybeans. Since she couldn't eat meat often, making some tofu by herself was enough to absorb protein, and she could drink soy milk and pancakes in the morning.

"This is 50 Wen. Buy something for yourself. We will meet you at the gate of the city." Seeing Ye Qiu looking around, Chu Ying asked her to act on her own. After all, she was only 9 years old and she was 13. If you are old, what you want will be different. Maybe you are an adult and you need something special.

Ye Qiu nodded and walked away slowly. When he couldn't see Chu Ying, he walked to the medicine shop, "Doctor, how much is the best scald medicine?"

"The best one is 5 taels of silver. This can is 2 taels. I don't know how big the burn is?" The doctor is an old man with white hair and beard. I have bought medicine before, the price is fair and the quality is good.

Ye Qiu looked at the 5 taels of silver pot for scald medicine, which was quite big, and Chu Ying might not be able to use that much. "It's just that there is a burn scar on the calf that is two palms long. It shouldn't take that much."

"5 taels can be healed with one-third of the can. This kind will not leave scars, but 2 taels will leave a little scar. Did you get burned?"

"No, can I take one-third of the can and fill it with a small porcelain bottle? If you buy too much, you won't be able to use it, and you won't accidentally burn it so many times, mainly because your family is not very rich."

"That's fine, then one tael and 6 yuan, wipe it on in the morning and evening, remember to avoid it." The old man wrote down all the things that could not be eaten on the paper and gave it to Ye Qiu.Ye Qiu saw that none of the above items were available at home, and felt helpless, but he still thanked the doctor. After giving the money, he put the porcelain pot in the basket and covered it with a bag. When he returned, he secretly replaced the medicine in the original pot. In this way, the second lady will not notice.

The main reason is that the medicine is too expensive for the current family situation, but the second young lady has been pampered and spoiled since she was a child, she has delicate skin and tender flesh, if she goes back later and is found by the eldest lady, she will not escape being held accountable.

Chu Ying bought a few wooden pots and baskets, and bought a piece of fat to cook oil, so that the oil residue can be eaten every day, and the lard can also be used to make pancakes.

At the gate of the city, I saw that Ye Qiu only bought two wooden basins and came back, and he still had 30 cash in his hands. It seems that although this girl is a servant of a wealthy family, she is not a waste of money.

"Let me come, don't get tired." Although Chu Ying shied away a bit, she still couldn't hold back Ye Qiu. Although she knew that as a modern person, she advocated equality for everyone, how could she bother others, but this was her servant. It felt really good to order her around, and Chu Ying gradually felt that she had been eroded by this kind of etiquette.

After returning home, Chu Ying looked at the cattails and reeds in the pond that had taken root and grown a lot of leaves, so that the water could become running water so that there would be no lack of oxygen.I also have to go to the lake and stream to put down the fishing traps, so that the fish that can't be eaten can also be eaten slowly in the pond.

"I'll take care of you at home. I'll go fishing."

"Second Miss... Chu Ying, don't go into the water. There are monsters in the water, which are specially designed to drag children. You fell ill last time and haven't forgotten it for a long time." Chu Ying really wanted to give this servant a look, even though she was treated as a servant by others. The feeling of a child is not good, but this body is a child, and I can only cooperate with a somewhat scared expression.

"Okay, I only fish out of the water, not in."

"Come back early, I'll wait for you to eat." Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who had two dimples when he smiled, and she felt very warm with the appearance of a virtuous housewife. This family finally got a little angry, and there was something waiting for her. people.

"Okay, I'll come back from fishing." Chu Ying picked up the small wooden barrel and ran out quickly, her smirking face was a little stiff.

"It's okay if you can't catch it, don't go into the water." Ye Qiu first cut up the fat meat and boiled lard on a low fire, then took out the medicine in Chu Ying's original medicine pot and replaced it with a new one, and then put the original medicine in it. Well, it can be used next time if the burn is not serious.

Chu Ying put the fishing traps hidden before, and then found some thorny plants, took off the thorns and tied them to the branches, so that there was a barb, and Chu Ying took the cotton thread wound on the wood. Tie it to the barb, then string the dug earthworms on a string, and find a place with some shade to sit and fish slowly.

Before Ye Qiu came, I was tied to that piece of land. Every day I got up to take care of the chickens and rabbits, collect the turpentine and raw lacquer, and weed and water well. Although there were not many things, but Always busy from morning till night.

I have been busy since I crossed over here, forcing myself to study harder, never sitting so leisurely like now, looking at the calm lake, feeling the spring breeze blowing on my face.A few fish were caught in one afternoon, and two of them had quite big stomachs, probably containing roe, so Chu Ying put these fish in the water of the wooden barrel for a long time.

Waiting for the sun to set, Chu Ying picked up the heavy wooden barrel and went home slowly. When she got home, she could already smell the smell of burnt oil residue, "I'm back."

"Hurry up and eat this custard first." Chu Ying fished out one fish and poured the rest into the pond, hoping that the small fish in the pond would gradually increase.

"Chu Ying is amazing. She has caught so many fish. Do you want to eat grilled or make soup tomorrow?" Ye Qiu inserted a reed into the wooden barrel where the fish was placed.

"It's all right." After the meal, Chu Ying obediently rubbed the scald medicine on it. It is true that leaving a scar would be unsightly, but the smell is a bit different from the previous one. Chu Ying only wiped half of it, looked at the ointment in her hand, and carefully Smell it and confirm that it is different from the previous one.
