Yoyo Farming

Chapter 43

"You'll know in a while." Fu Niu just smiled, listening to the boiling of the pot, she opened the lid and used a spoon to keep the pot from sinking to the bottom. Today, she made cornmeal batter with raisins in it.

When the first bowl was ready, I gave Youshuan first, and when I filled the second bowl, I heard Youshuan's voice: "Ah, it's hot." And then said: "But it's really delicious. I haven't drank it for a long time. It's still mushy. There are raisins." You Shuan took another sip carefully as he said, and then laughed: "Sister, Youcai also stuck out his tongue to lick it, and almost got licked by it."

In the morning, there is nutritious raisin cornmeal paste, and a little bit of bacon left over from yesterday, and rice balls made from yesterday’s leftover rice. There are only three slices of bacon, and each of the three members of the family has one slice, and no one gets more points.

The oil steamed from the bacon was too greasy, and only Xiao Youcai enjoyed it alone. He soaked rice for Youcai to eat at his feet, and used another old bowl to cool Youcai with a little cornmeal batter. It came out hot, so Fu Niu put the bowl on the window sill to keep it cold, and said to Youshuan, "I don't know if You Caixi likes to drink it. If you have to eat meat every day, you really can't afford it."

Youshuan looked at Youcai eating rice soaked in bacon soup with a smile on his face, and said, "If you eat fish, you can feed yourself better." After a few "uh, huh", Fu Niu and Youshuan laughed together.

There are more and more people going to and from the field outside. When I passed by the door, I saw the siblings eating in the yard and said hello. Fu Niu replied with a smile. There were no seedlings, but the rustling bamboos and surviving young trees after the breeze made Fu Niu feel happy to death.

There is nothing better than having a good life, and old uncle Qin still has a lot of money.After Fu Niu had breakfast, she put a lot of raisins in a smaller bamboo basket and went to Old Qin's house to collect money.

You Shuan cleaned the dishes at home alone, because Fu Niu said that the raisins should be dried again, so You Shuan poured the raisins on the old cloth on the ground and spread them out. Walking around in the yard making "dang, dang" sounds.

Youshuan guessed how much it was in his mind: "At least 50 taels should be divided. Well, 30 taels is enough. Isn't 20 taels too little? No matter what, if you have money, you can divide it."

Such a person guessed for a while and spread out the raisins, only to see Fu Niu come back with uncontrollable joy on her face, and praised Youshuan as soon as she entered the yard: "Dry the raisins, and I'll give some to Si in a while." Auntie, I found her vegetable seeds, and asked my fourth aunt to take care of you."

"Sister, how much is it?" Youshuan just wanted to ask this, and Fu Niu showed Youshuan the small bamboo basket on her arm. Inside was another piece of bacon wrapped in lotus leaves, and the smell made her greedy. Cai also dragged a small bench over.

In the bamboo basket there were several packages of silver wrapped in mulberry paper, Fu Niu whispered to Youshuan: "Go inside and check, it's 150 taels of silver in total."

Upon hearing that it was 150 taels of silver, Youshuan also seemed to be struck by happiness, first opened his small mouth, paused, and then went into the room first: "Sister, come in and tell me."

All three members of the family entered the house. Fu Niu put the bamboo basket on the table, looked outside, closed the door, and handed the money to Youshuan: "Where are you keeping the money? Leave a letter for the money." Come down and I will use it."

Youshuan put Youcai down, took the silver and said to Fu Niu, "Put it in the kang hole. There is a mouse hole underneath. It is the strongest there." Fu Niu wanted to laugh but didn't. Put it away."

Leaving behind a letter of ten taels of silver, Fu Niu watched Youshuan put the other silver away, and heard Youshuan still caring about it: "This is so much money, why is there so much money?"

"Old Qin uncle sold a whole bear to a traditional Chinese medicine shop, saying that the bear's paws are worth a lot of money, and then this bear has a lot of bear bile. I bought a piece of bacon for me, originally I said that there is no delicious food at home, so I will take you and Youcai to the market at noon."

Fu Niu explained behind Youshuan that she still wanted to go to the market for a meal: "Youshuan, otherwise let's go to the market, there are still things to buy."

"Tomorrow." Youshuan asked Fu Niu to be able to keep the money, and put the money one by one away, then stood up and patted the ashes on his body, and said to Fu Niu, "Sister, just steam a piece of this bacon at noon." That's it."

Youshuan is the one who can live the hardest life, Youcai is the one who wants to eat meat the most, and Fu Niu is the one who can endure it most.With a large amount of money in hand, Fu Niu wanted to go out and spend it once, and bought all the daily necessities that needed to be purchased.

But since Youshuan said it, Fu Niu could only agree.It was only mid-morning, and Fu Niu came out to see the fourth aunt's house next door. Usually, at this time, the fourth aunt's family would go to the ground, and there was a son and a daughter at home. The daughter was young, and she also went down to the ground to help pull Grass, pick up some wild vegetables around.

"I'll wait for the fourth aunt to come back in the evening before sending the raisins." Fu Niu sat in the yard and broke off the branches brought back yesterday into firewood one by one, and put them beside the raisins to dry.

Youshuan started to divide the bacon into pieces, washed and tidied up, and planned to steam it for lunch.Looking at the kitchen knife in his hand, Youshuan said to Fu Niu, "This knife is quite fast."

According to Fu Niu's own description, the knife cut both vines and branches.I was worried that the suppository would not work well after washing it before.Fu Niu who was in the yard replied, "I've only used it a few times, and the new knife should be coming soon."

Youshuan, who was slowly cutting bacon in the house, said to Fu Niu: "Actually, you can also go to the market today and buy a hatchet for sister, so that you can go into the mountains later. If you have a hunting fork, I will give it to you too." buy one."

"How much will it cost?" Fu Niu didn't want to go now, the urge to spend money was only temporary, she squatted in the yard and slowly picked up firewood, and chatted with You Shuan slowly.

Youshuan thought for a while and said, "I heard someone say that when Brother Dazhuang and the others entered the mountain, it was like a hunting fork asking for four liang of silver."

"It's not cheap." Fu Niu didn't know whether it was cheap or expensive, so she answered casually, and said to Youshuan, "I want to send the money to the village chief's house tonight, and plant the land behind it first."
