Abandoned Wife Pastoral General Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 35 Don't Eat

After a few minutes, pour it into another large wooden basin and fill it with clean water.Repeating the current action, a layer of oil and dirty water floated on the water surface of the big basin.

The clear water in the other basin bottomed out. Aunt Zhang looked back and forth between the two basins of water in amazement, unable to turn her eyes away: "Girl Xi, you are so smart to think of such a good idea."

"Auntie, I still need to use scissors to cut off the tail. By the way, what about the second brother?" She turned her head to look at the inner courtyard.

"They can't stop fishing." Aunt Zhang laughed as she spoke.

"How to do it, teach me."

Lin Xi cut off the tail of the snail with great hatred.

Fortunately, when the hands were sore and painful, the savior returned.

"Mother, sister, let's do the hard work." Zhang Qixuan put down his back basket, took a sip of water, turned around and walked out.

Lin Xi stood aside and shook her hands desperately.

"Sister, can this snail meat be taken out?" Zhang Qixuan asked after cutting a few pieces.

"It's ok. Add water and boil it half-cooked, and its membrane will fall off. Then use a toothpick to pick out the meat. I will tell you how to do it with a toothpick later. The reason why the tail is cut off is that it has too many parasites. At night You can make a simple version of spicy snail, or stir-fry snail meat."

Zhang Qixuan nodded receptively.Silent.

Before dinner, Zhang Qiyun staggered back.Smelling of alcohol all over her body, she happily sat at the dining table, hiccupped and said, "Xi'er, I bought the land, and it's near the riverside. The wasteland has a total of [-] mu, and each mu is seven taels of silver. Return twenty barren fields, ten taels of silver per mu, what do you think."

"Is it true, Uncle? I'll buy them all." At this moment, Lin Xi felt that she was hit by a huge easter egg and ignored other information.

"Xi'er, it's by the river, it's a bit far away from here. I'm worried about your mother and son, the younger one and the weaker one." Aunt Zhang opened her mouth and said.

"Auntie can't, I still have a workshop over there. I can buy some people, don't worry." Lin Xi said after thinking about it.

"You've thought it all over." Aunt Zhang's expression was visibly downcast.

"Auntie, we want to raise fish over there, let the eldest brother and the second brother be the shopkeepers in the town, and then let the shopkeeper Zhang take them to study." Lin Xi simply said all the current plans in one breath.This is also good, sincerely meet each other, and work hard to one place.

"Okay, bring our Zhangjia Village together." Zhang Qiyun suddenly stood up with a "snap", and fell asleep on the table, snoring loudly.

"Both of you, help your father to sleep on the cloud bed, and I'll make a cup of strong tea to sober him up." As she said that, Aunt Zhang went into the kitchen.

During the meal, Lin Xi never put snail meat, Zhang Qijie smiled: "Why don't you eat it, it's delicious, and you made it yourself."

"No." Lin Xi shook her head.

Like Lin Xi, the little guy doesn't like snails.He drank two bowls of pork bone soup, ate a few mouthfuls of scrambled eggs with shrimps and braised winter melon, and took a few mouthfuls of rice soup before leaving the table.Lin Xi saw him looking sleepy, turned around and chased him out.

"Bao, what's the matter?"

"Mother, I just want to sleep, so sleepy."

"Okay, let's take a shower and sleep." Lin Xi said simply, "I'll wash the dishes later."

After helping him take a bath and put him to sleep, Lin Xi came out quietly again.The kitchen has been tidied up.

"Go and wash." Aunt Zhang came out of the bathroom with the dirty clothes in her arms.

Lin Xi nodded.

She lay on the bed thinking about her next plan.Build fish farms, open workshops, train your own people, and find shops.These all cost manpower and money.The house was built by the river, so we had to find two guard yards. In case someone was not dead-hearted and sneaked in, the loss would be minor. Everyone in the village could drown themselves by spitting.Alas, how hard can we not let others bully us?
I fell asleep thinking about it.

After a full sleep and feeling refreshed, Lin Xi picked up a few thin charcoal strips from the charcoal stove next to the stove early in the morning, squatted down on a clean stone slab, and began to grind them. , her thin yellow hands were covered with black charcoal ash.The thin charcoal sticks gradually became like pens, one stick, two sticks and five sticks. She picked up the charcoal pens, put them in an empty box, and she cleaned the floor with a broom.

She concentrated on writing and drawing on the table, drawing one after another, and when the last stroke was completed, she picked it up and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sister, what are you drawing like this? It looks like a drawer but doesn't look like it. The drawer is not as tall as that." Zhang Qixuan was very surprised.

"Hey, you don't care, as long as it's useful. It's my secret weapon." Lin Xi smiled and drew two of them: "Second brother, you have to drive me out of these things. I need them to enter the new house." use."

"Brother, are you going to the town today? I'll go too. You need to go to the iron shop to make these." Lin Xi sorted them into categories and put them away in his sleeves.

At the dinner table, Lin Xi stared at Zhang Qiyun with bright eyes: "Uncle, this is 500 taels in total, take a look." He took out five paper tickets from his sleeve and handed them over.

"The master hired by the house needs the help of my uncle. As for the small workers, I already have five people." Lin Xi said, looking at Aunt Zhang who was eating.
