Prosperous Pastoral: Sweet Pet Peasant Wife

Chapter 10
The woman with twisted braids has nothing on her head, but on her face, there is a sweet yearning for freedom and a beautiful future life.

At this moment, she, coupled with that leisurely and comfortable smile, inexplicably relaxed the whole body of those who were immersed in the singing.That person, moreover, is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off...

By the riverbank, Xiao Yiwen, who was still kneading the leopard's fur, suddenly heard the song that was singing far and near, and the movements of his hands softened a little.

Xiao's mother was still cutting grass in the field, listening to the singing, raised her head, and looked in the direction of Han Chuxia's residence with some disgust.

"A widow's family hums and sings like this every day when nothing happens. What does it look like?"

Some villagers walking on the path next door also heard this clear and melodious singing.However, the responses vary.

Someone sneered, saying that a widow and woman humming like this is obviously seducing a man.

Others were disdainful, "This is singing the spring. It seems that you will have to hook up with two children before you will be reconciled."

Yes, those who wanted to say that the song was beautiful, swallowed it back.

However, among the crowd, there was a man looking at the direction where Han Chuxia lived with flickering eyes.

Those aggressive eyes, with a lustful light, swept past the figure of a woman singing leisurely in the distance, and then quickly passed by...

Anise, dried after a day.

At this time, the rice jar was also emptied.

"Today, the food is all on you."

Grabbing a handful of star anise, Han Chuxia sniffed it lightly, the unique smell made all the pores of her body stretch out.

"Well, we have chili sauce and star anise, and if we add some other things, hot pot can come out."

Thinking of the delicious hot pot, Han Chuxia was slandered again.

Today, Xiaowa and Grandma Liu will also go to the market together.

The three of them cleaned up neatly and opened the door early in the morning to set off.

"Son said..."

As soon as he went out, he heard the sound of reciting in the distance.

The scholar is really working hard, and he is appointed to get up and study before dawn.

"Lei Chengfeng is actually quite smart. Just relying on the old man Lei's teaching, he was able to pass the Tongsheng exam with his own ability. Although he is not a scholar, as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely pass the exam. successful."

Grandma Liu really cherishes her talent, and when Lei Chengfeng is mentioned, her mouth is full of regret.

Han Chuxia remained silent, stroking Xiaowa's head.

"Xiaowa, do you want to study?"

Xiaowa raised her head and looked at her in surprise, "Mother, do you want Xiaowa to know how to read?"

Han Chuxia frowned, Xiaowa, seemed to be too dependent on her opinion.For such a young child, it is best to guide him to have his own ideas, opinions and so on.Only in this way can the family be erected in the future.

"Boy, do you think it's better to know how to read or not to go out? For example, if you know how to read, you won't be turned into the wrong place by the road monument. If you don't know how to read, you have to walk all the way and ask questions all the way. .”

This time, Xiaowa understood. "Mom, I want to read."

Han Chuxia smiled happily and stroked the little baby's head, "Well, another day, mother will let you learn characters with the scholar."

You don't have to take the exam for fame.

However, literacy is a basic thing.

If you can't read, don't observe etiquette, and don't understand reason, if you live like this, you are just a barbarian.

"Okay, mother, I must know how to read and not get lost."

Hearing Wazi's crisp response, Han Chuxia giggled again.

In the distance, Lei Chengfeng, who was still studying, heard the crisp laughter, put down the book inexplicably, raised his head, looked at the forward figure, and raised his lips.

But in an instant, the young and mature face became tense again.

The second girl Lei wanted to see the expression on the eldest brother's face again, but found that it was still the boy Wan's face.

"My elder brother, did you just smile?"

It is still a little difficult for Xiaowa to walk too far.After all, he didn't take good care of his body earlier, so even if he is three years old now, he still has to work hard.Therefore, along the way, Han Chuxia had to carry Xiaowa on her back.

After a period of recuperation, Han Chuxia's body has improved a lot.I will not take a few steps like before, and I will breathe a lot.

Although Grandma is in her fifties, she is in good spirits.

Along the way, I also helped carry the baby several times.In this way, several people hurriedly rushed, and before the morning market, they could be considered to have arrived at Fangshi.

Grandma is going to sell eggs, and Han Chuxia is going to the pharmacy.

The first pharmacy also had to charge when they arrived, but they said that a catty was only worth three hundred copper coins.

Moreover, seeing the flickering look in that person's eyes, Han Chuxia always felt that he was not too down-to-earth, so he found an excuse and went to the next family.

This time, I found a pharmacy in a slightly remote area.However, business is surprisingly good.Early in the morning, there were several old people waiting at the door, coughing and waiting for the door to open.

"This family, ask again, if it doesn't work, go back and find that family."

Generally speaking, those who can find a doctor in a remote alley, either have good medical skills, or the medicines are very real.

After waiting patiently, a guy came.

Han Chuxia took advantage of the time when the waiters were queuing up, and squeezed forward, telling her about the sale of star anise.

"This kind of star anise, our shop can only bid 38 copper coins per catty. After all, not every ingredient in the medicine is used. If you are Du Zhong or something, you can pick more. These medicines are commonly used. Yes, the price is also slightly more expensive, it can be made for forty or fifty copper coins a catty."

Han Chuxia frowned slightly.It sounds like 38 copper coins per catty is not too small.However, these star anises are dried.It takes a lot of weight to weigh out a catty.The octagonal basket on her back looks like a lot, but in fact, it only weighs about ten catties.

In other words, she can only get three or four hundred copper coins this time, three or four hundred copper coins, so what can she do!

"The shopkeeper, this star anise can obviously be used as a seasoning for a lot of cooking, why is the price so low?"

Han Chuxia didn't give up, and started asking again.

The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard that, "You said, this thing can be used as seasoning?"

Han Chuxiayuan opened his eyes, that's right, there are a lot of food and supplies here that haven't been developed yet.She can totally guide.

"That's right, shopkeeper, let me tell you, if you follow this recipe and prepare these medicinal materials in a certain proportion, and let some chefs in the restaurant cook, the taste will definitely be more than doubled. Here, I I'll give you a prescription."

When Han Chuxia opened the prescription, the shopkeeper looked at the words she wrote in doubt, "I said, little lady, what is your prescription?"

Han Chuxia smiled cheerfully, "You're welcome, it's a gift from me. Just take it, just take it away."

The shopkeeper looked at her dumbfounded, "I mean girl, you... I don't know you?"

"what?"

Han Chuxia slapped herself hard.

Your sister, she is written in modern vernacular.

People's ancient times are cumbersome ancient prose.

She rolled up the ball of paper awkwardly.

"Shopkeeper, I'll read it, you write it, hey, I, my words are scribbled, don't mind."

The shopkeeper looked at her suspiciously, the words looked fair, how could they be scribbled?But still patiently picked up the pen and listened to her reading, and he wrote.

After a while, a prescription that the shopkeeper didn't understand at all was born.

"I said, little lady, are you here to tease me? I've never heard of your bean paste and these Sannai."

Han Chuxia wanted to cry.

She seems to have been ignoring a problem: some modern drug names are different from the ancient ones.

Smiling, Han Chuxia hurriedly proposed. "Well, shopkeeper, how about if I look at your medicines, maybe I can make a pack of seasonings that can be cooked. As for the chili sauce, I have it here, and I can give you some for free today, so that you can mix it These seasonings are burnt out. Don’t worry, it’s not delicious, I don’t want money. If you are still worried, you can first detain me a hundred copper coins. After you try the recipe and it tastes good, you will return my deposit Copper coins. However, when the time comes, you will have to help sell this prescription. When the time comes, give it to the little woman..."

The shopkeeper understood, "You've already said that, then if the recipe can be promoted, I will naturally give you some bonuses. After all, you made this recipe, and there is such a thing as chili sauce. , Did you make it too? Okay, you go in and make it."

Not to mention, the shopkeeper's here is indeed the seasoning recipe that Han Chuxia needs.

But after a while, after checking the medicine cabinet, Han Chuxia prepared a modern cooking recipe.She also scooped up some chili sauce and put it in the pot, and borrowed the shopkeeper's backyard stove to teach the shop assistants to cook on the spot.

The guy learned it from beginning to end, and even recorded the method with pen and paper.

It wasn't until the water was put in, Han Chuxia put the lid on the pot, and then rubbed his hands, "Brother, I'll go for a walk, I guess it's almost time, so I'll come back to see how this dish is. I believe you will be satisfied." of."

She said this with all her heart, but only God knows how disturbed she is.

The shopkeeper only deducted 340 copper coins, and settled another [-] coins.

This time, it is impossible to want to eat meat again.So let's think about it in Han Chuxia, and hurry up to buy food and finish the job.

I went to the store where rice was sold last time, and spent all my money on brown rice, but only got 45 catties.

"Hey, I just beg, those seasoning recipes are really feasible. Otherwise, my chili sauce can't be sold, and I have to find a way to go to the mountains to take risks."

Walking all the way, thinking all the way, thinking too fascinated, I never thought that I would bump into someone all of a sudden.

"Hey, I said why don't you have eyes, you can still look at me in broad daylight... Ah, it's you?"

Han Chuxia rubbed her forehead and was about to raise her head to apologize.

But he could clearly see the handsome little man's face in front of him. Isn't this the guy who bought his own fungus vegetables last time?
