The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 7

In the future, Chu Ying would not come to the city often if there was no fodder business, so she continued to wander around the city with a basket on her back to see if she could find some good stuff.

At the back door of a big family's house, Chu Ying saw several people talking about the price.

"Hu Da, this bowl is broken, two 1 coins, I will take it away."

"Take it away." Chu Ying saw that the man happily took two bowls and left, so she walked over to see the excitement.

There are some broken pots and bowls at the door. There is only one big pot for food and one small pot for cooking at home. I don’t know how many there are.

"Uncle, how many pots are there?" Chu Ying looked at the more or less broken pots on the ground, and there was only half of one body left.

"Look at it." Hu Da sat on the bamboo mat, drinking the tea he made himself.

"You're all broken, one penny, I want it all." Hu Da raised his eyes and looked at Chu Ying who was carrying a pannier and wearing unlined clothes.

"There are still a few more bowls here, you should also ask for them together." Hu Da pointed to a few notched bowls next to them. These are old or broken bowls in the kitchen, and Hu Da didn't point to making money. , Throwing the blame is a pity that it is placed at the back door.

"No, I'm alone, I don't need so many bowls, and your bowls are all broken, I'm afraid I'll get my mouth when I eat it." Hu Da looked at the sky, and he had to do his own work.

"You can take all the 10 Wen coins." Chu Ying looked at the 9 earthenware pots and 5 bowls on the ground and thought it was a good deal, so she gave him the 10 Wen coins.

Chu Ying sprinkled some soil in the clay pots, piled them up one by one and put them in the back basket, squatting down to put them on the back, but still couldn't get up.

Hu Da helped her lift the basket and put it on her shoulders, "Be careful on the road." Hu Da picked up the bamboo mat and tea bowl, ready to walk in.

"That uncle, do you come out to sell these every morning?" Chu Ying thought that she might be able to find other things in the future.

"Not necessarily, it depends on fate." After finishing speaking, he closed the back door.

Chu Ying put her hands under her straps and walked slowly to the gate of the city.

"You bought so many things, did you spend a lot of money?" Grandpa Li saw Chu Ying slowly walking over with a basket of things on her back, and went over to help her carry them.

"Not much, these pots and bowls are only 10 cents, some of them are broken." Chu Ying moved the back basket to the innermost place, so as not to hinder other people from getting in the car.

"It's worth it if it's broken. Let's say that this pot is 20 yuan a piece, but this bowl is broken and it's not easy to use." Other people who came back also looked left and right.

"Chu Ying, where did you buy it?"

"The one with the biggest one." Chu Ying didn't fear that others would find out and went to buy it, anyway, these were enough.

"It's no wonder you're talking about Zheng's mansion, but they are so rich, they don't throw away all these things when they are broken, and they still have to spend money to buy them? Are they short of this money?"

"That's right, look at the rags I picked up in the east of the city. This is enough to make a half dress." Several other women also looked over.

Chu Ying has been to the big garbage dump in the east of the city they said, and there are indeed a lot of rags in it, but Chu Ying doesn't know where they come from, and if she gets some disease, the loss outweighs the gain.

It was already past meal time at home, and Chu Ying felt her stomach that was screaming all the way from the city to home.

"Stomach, belly, your empty city plan is too euphemistic and tortuous." Chu Ying put down her back basket and started cooking.

I ate the fish soup that I didn't finish yesterday.Eat well and start picking up today's spoils.

Clay pots and bowls are usually used to put food, so they won't be very dirty. Chu Ying boiled hot water and soaked them one by one.

Looking at these 9 earthen pots plus her own 10 in total, she didn't know what to put. The 60 jin of rice was packed in a bag. Rice is not easy to get wet, so it is convenient to put rice in clay pots.

Anyway, these clay pots will be useful at that time. Chu Ying suddenly felt that she was a little rich woman, and when she was happy, she picked up the clothes that were dismantled yesterday. , follow the cut and sew.

The other girls in the city wear skirts, and when they walk, their clothes flutter, but they themselves wear trousers. Other women in the village also wear trousers except when they go to work in the city, but they wear pants around their waists. something like an apron.

Chu Ying can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and the stitches are not very careful. Anyway, she has not thought of any way to make money, so she slowly made the clothes.

Since the cattail velvet was stuffed inside, Chu Ying was afraid that the cattail velvet would run around, so she made oblique grids on the finished clothes, so that even if she ran, the grid would not be able to escape, and it would still be warmer.

"Chu Ying, are you at home?" Chu Ying got up from the grass bed when she heard Big Brother Wang calling her. In this era, tables and chairs are not yet popular, and everyone sits on the ground. Chu Ying's house is just a small wooden house, and there is no raised floor. , It's all mud, and the ground is very muddy when it rains.

When I went out, I saw Brother Wang leading a fainted little squirrel. "This is?"

"Some people in the village went hunting together in the mountains. I went too and caught quite a few. Here's this little squirrel for you. The meat is pretty good." Chu Ying picked up its tail and placed it on a wooden block for chopping firewood.

"By the way, Chu Ying, I'll peel the skin. You go inside first, don't be scared." Chu Ying picked up the stone ax next to the wooden pier, and slowly cut open the skin bit by bit starting from the squirrel's belly.

Wang Naiyuan watched as Chu Ying peeled off the squirrel's skin neatly and then disemboweled the squirrel. The movements were coherent and there was nothing redundant.

"Chu Ying, you..." Chu Ying threw the internal organs on the ground far away, put the squirrel in a clay pot, poured water on it and washed it well.

"What's the matter?" When Chu Ying and the army were foraging in the wild, she did all the handling of animals by herself. First of all, she is a Virgo with obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she must start peeling from the middle of the animal's belly, and After skinning the animal, a thin, slightly transparent membrane is still there. As long as it breaks a little, I will definitely be more careful next time. Secondly, after practicing a lot, what she peels in the team is fast, complete and beautiful, and others don’t bother to do it. .

"It's nothing, I just feel that you are different, so I'll go first." Brother Wang still remembered that Chu Ying was afraid when she saw a chicken being killed, so she never dared to enter her house.

Chu Ying saw that the little squirrel didn't have much meat after it was skinned, so she put it on a wooden stick, took away the clay pot, put the wooden stick on the mud ring, sewed clothes, checked the meat from time to time, and added more firewood .

Chu Ying turned around and seemed to remember what Brother Wang said just now about the villagers going hunting together, but they would definitely not let her go with an 8-year-old girl.

If I hadn't gone with everyone, I'd have gone to the mountains when my body was not yet strong and alert, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back.

Even if I was a special soldier before, my body is still too weak, and I don't have any motor cells at all. I still need to take care of myself for a period of time to strengthen myself before I can start training.

However, it sounds like a good choice to practice bow and arrow first, but there are no good materials nearby, so I will go to the foot of the mountain to look for it.
