Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 94

After coming out of Renhe Pharmacy, Shen Yunjin and Li Yihuai went home contentedly with the 300 taels of silver bills in their hands.

Being able to sell Bai Zhi so smoothly this time also gave them both a sense of confidence, and they will be more motivated when they go to the mountains to pick Bai Zhi.

Li Yi said before that there are about 60 Baizhi plants in the deep mountains. Shen Yunjin thought, if a Baizhi plant can be sold for 200 taels, then if they can collect all of them, wouldn't they be able to earn a thousand dollars? About [-] taels.

More than 1000 taels is a huge amount, enough for their family to buy a good house in the town, open a decent pastry shop, and live a good life.Thinking about it this way, Shen Yunjin became more hopeful about the future and was full of joy.

After returning home, Shen Yunjin told Jing Er and Yun Wen about the matter. They were also happy to see that Bai Zhi could sell for so much money. Lack of money, the family can celebrate happily.

Li Yi went to Wang Butcher's house in the village to buy some good meat, as well as some pig's trotters and big bones, while Shen Yunjin stayed at home to light a fire and prepare stewed meat for a big meal.

Jing Er had been waiting outside the house early on. When he saw Li Yi came back from Wang Butcher, he hurried over to greet him and helped Li Yi get the meat.

"Brother-in-law, I'll get this." After saying that, Jing Er took the meat from Li Yi's hand, took the two big pig's trotters, and happily went home.

He is still young, but he has good eyesight.

Li Yi smiled behind him, "Don't walk so fast, be careful not to fall."

Jing'er replied with a heartless smile, "It's okay, my feet are flexible, and I can't fall. Anyway, I can eat a lot of meat in a while, even if I really fall because of these meat, I don't feel any pain."

After the two of them brought the meat home, Shen Yunjin quickly cut up the meat and began to prepare the stew.

She plans to make braised pork in brown sauce, and then stewed kidney beans. As for the bones, let's make soup.

"My lord, take an ax and cut this big pig bone in half. I'll make soup with them later." Shen Yunjin said to Li Yi, "And the pig's trotters, you cleaned up the pig hair on them , and then wash it again, I will also stew the pig's trotters later."

"Okay!" Li Yi listened to the order, of course he didn't say anything else, and immediately went to do it.

He worked quickly, and quickly cut the pig's bone in half, then put the pig's trotters on the fire and roasted them in a circle, and roasted all the remaining pig hairs on the two big pig's trotters. Wash carefully with water.

At this time, Shen Yunjin also finished the two meat dishes, and the next step was to boil the bone soup. Seeing that there was not much firewood left by the stove, she asked Li Yi to go outside to get some firewood.

Li Yi went to the firewood by the outside door, picked up some dry firewood, and was about to enter the house to take it to Shen Yunjin, but at this moment, when he looked up, he happened to see Wei Changqing standing in the backyard of Wei's house. looked at him.

He had never seen Wei Changqing before, and he hadn't heard Shen Yunjin mention it after he came back. He still doesn't know who lives opposite his house.

Li Yi nodded slightly towards Wei Changqing, counting it as a greeting, Wei Changqing smiled back when he saw him like this, and then turned and went home.

Although Wei Changqing smiled at him, Li Yi felt that something was wrong. He felt that Wei Changqing looked at him coldly like a knife, not only unfriendly, but also hostile, but he had He didn't offend Wei Changqing, so what's going on.

Li Yi couldn't figure it out, and was about to go home.

"Third, what are you doing? Are you taking so much firewood to make a fire for cooking?"

Sister-in-law Zhang came over at some point, holding a basin of laundry in her hand, and greeted Li Yi loudly.

Li Yi turned around and saw her, and said casually, "It's sister-in-law, we are cooking, are the clothes in sister-in-law's hand just washed by the river? It's so cold, why are you still here?" Wash clothes by the river."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "I have to change the water to wash clothes at home. It's troublesome. It's better to wash by the river. It's just that my hands are a little cold, but it doesn't matter. I'm not as delicate as Yunjin. In summer, I have to wash clothes at home. I’m afraid that after two days the river will freeze and I won’t be able to wash clothes, alas.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang suddenly sniffed and smelled the aroma of Shen Yunjin's stewed meat at home.Shen Yunjin's craftsmanship is very good, the stewed meat is full of fragrance, and Zhang's nose is so good that he can smell it even standing outside.

She looked up and saw that the chimney of the house was smoking upwards, and coupled with the tempting smell of meat, she concluded that it was Shen Yunjin who was eating stewed meat at home.Dafang’s family’s conditions are not good, except for the holidays, it is difficult to eat meat at ordinary times, Zhang’s is so greedy for meat, and now the smell is almost drooling.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Li Yi and asked, "Third son, you have visited dad once since you came back. Don't you care about dad? You don't want to know what kind of food dad usually eats, but you still To his liking?"

Li Yi frowned slightly, "What did sister-in-law say? Of course I care about dad, but doesn't dad live with his elder brother and sister-in-law? Of course I can rest assured that my elder brother and sister-in-law will take care of my father. How can a younger brother bother with his wife?" many."

"Hmph, you can speak pretty words, if you don't ask, then I'll tell you." Mrs. Zhang muttered unhappily, "I cook the usual meals for my parents, and your elder brother and I have nothing to do, so we just Let parents follow us to eat bran-swallowed vegetables. It’s just that we didn’t expect that we and our parents are eating bran-swallowed vegetables, but your third room is eating big fish and meat every day, and you don’t think about your parents at all. If you know how to eat by yourself, you won't be afraid of getting a reputation of being unfilial if you do so!"

Hearing this, Li Yi understood that the elder sister-in-law must have smelled the fragrance of the house before she said that.

Although he doesn't like the domineering and troublesome Xu family, Li Fugui is still his own father no matter what the relationship between their father and son is, it is necessary to put on a show on the surface, and they can't be gossips.

Li Yi replied, "We don't eat big fish and meat every day, it's just that today I suddenly get hungry, so Jin'er just feels sorry for me and wants to cook me a delicious meal. Sister-in-law, you should go back first, and wait for the food to be cooked later." Well, I will send some to you, although our conditions are not good, but those who should honor father will still be honored."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard this, she knew that she had meat to eat. She was overjoyed, and immediately smiled, "Okay, then I won't cook tonight, and I'll wait for you to come and deliver the meat!"
