The lucky little girl of the Shoufu family

Chapter 53 Get food in exchange!
"Brother Tian, ​​I'm going, I'm going too!"

Tie Dan had just finished helping his father with the field work, and was about to wash his face when he came back, when he heard the conversation between Mrs. Tian and his wife in the yard, and jumped three feet high with excitement.

He originally studied in the school with Ning Yi, but after the famine, the family had no surplus food, so he couldn't afford Shuxiu, so he dropped out of school and went home.

Although he returned home, Tie Dan still misses the colorful world in the town. There is nothing in the village, and the days are too boring.

"Qianniu Town is very far away from here. It takes an hour to walk. Can you make it on your feet?"

Tian Da is an enthusiastic person, and he will share the prey he hunts with the people around him, so he got acquainted with the villagers of Wangjia Village within two days.

It just so happened that he hunted a lot of game today, so he went over to untie a wild pheasant from the rope and handed it to Tie Dan, laughing and teasing him.

Tie Dan didn't show any politeness to him, he took the pheasant and said: "I can do it, just a little mountain road, can you still stump me?"

While talking, he changed the subject and said with a smirk, "I'll let my mother stew the pheasant soup, and I will make up for my elder brother and sister-in-law later, and have a baby!"

"Hey, little thing, your mouth is quite sweet!"

Tian Da laughed and cursed, but he didn't forget to give him a false kick.

Tie Dan quickly dodges, holding the pheasant on top of his head and shaking his head, "Come and kick me, come and kick me! Hee hee hee!"

"Little thing, don't run!"

Xiao Lian looked at the chasing one big and one young, covering her mouth and secretly laughing. Obviously, the villagers in Wangjia Village have known them for a long time, but they get along much better than those in Baili Village.

She used to pick up the fattest hare, turned around and went into the kitchen to tidy up.

Xiao Lian's craftsmanship is good, because she follows Tian Da, a hunter, and she has to help with the game every time she brings back.

After a long period of time, she became proficient. After entering the stove, she slaughtered and cleaned the hare, removed the internal organs and congestion, put hot water on it, sprinkled the dug wild onions, small mushrooms and a little salt, and steamed it in the pot. .

The sweet and meaty aroma immediately diffuses, and there is also a faint fragrance of mushrooms in it, which smells refreshing.

Since the drought, she hadn't dug mushrooms, but this time when she went around the mountain, it was strange that she actually dug them.

"Father, my son, the meat is cooked, I'll send it over right away."

Xiao Lian came out with a bowl of sweet rabbit meat, put a plate upside down on it, put it in a basket, and covered it with a thick linen cloth to prevent it from getting cold.

Carrying the basket, Xiao Lian went to Ning Yi's house.

In the yard, He Xuanji stared at the prey brought back by the little tiger, puzzled.

It is said that there have been years of severe drought, crops withered, vegetation sparse, and it is reasonable to say that there is less game, but every time Xiaohu goes out to eat a meal, he can still hunt a lot, which means that the prey resources here are rich?
Since there are abundant resources here, they should not be wasted. She went over and touched the little tiger's ears, and told it seriously: "Next time, don't kill the prey! I will catch it alive!"

"Meow woo woo~"

Xiaohu shook his head, which was bigger than a washbasin, with a confused look on his face, why should he live?It is easy to bring back the dead ones, but only a few live ones.

But the master had already spoken, so it could only meow and nod.

"Knock knock, Fairy." Xiao Lian knocked on the door, but the door was not closed, she came in with a basket after knocking, "This is steamed rabbit meat, although it is a bit bland, it tastes good!"

How could He Xuanji be unhappy seeing her bring food?A smile appeared on a delicate and delicate face: "Okay, it smells good, it should taste good! Ning Yi!"

"Ok!"

Ning Yi happened to be chopping firewood, turned around and went to the wooden barrel next to him to clean his hands, took Xiaolian's basket, and thanked him.

Ning Yi took the bamboo basket to the firewood room and poured the meat on the plate, cleaned the dishes, and returned the basket to Xiaolian.

Xiao Lian looked at the dishes that had been washed, and smiled lightly: "Brother Ning is really a gentle and considerate person!"

When she said this, her tone rose slightly, and she looked at He Xuanji with a hint of envy.

When she came over, she heard someone say that this fairy girl is Ning Yi's daughter-in-law, and she was raised by her side in the early years. Ning Yi took good care of her, making many women in the village envious.

You must know that this fairy girl was not wise at the beginning, she was stupid, but Ning Yi treated her so well, now that she has opened her mind and has the name of "Xiangu", Ning Yi must treat her better.

In this era, men are superior to women, and it is what all women desire to have a man who is good to them wholeheartedly.

But Xiao Lian also knows how to measure, just say a few nice words, but talking too much will make people upset.

She was about to leave with a basket on her shoulders, but He Xuanji suddenly thought of something and stopped her.

"Xiao Lian, I heard you say that you can make clothes, right?"

Xiao Lian nodded, "Yes, is Xiangu making clothes?"

"That's right! I'm going to Qianniu Town to buy some fabrics tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. How about you help me make two clothes?"

Although this coarse cloth was newly made by Aunt Zhang, it was too rough. He Xuanji's skin was delicate, and wearing this coarse cloth was a bit fleshy.

I didn't pay attention to these before because I couldn't even eat enough before, how could I have the heart to pay attention to it?
But now that she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, she can't be too shabby for herself.

"Of course, it is Xiaolian's honor to be able to make clothes for Xiangu! Speaking of which, my man said that he will go to the town tomorrow to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!"

When a woman talks about "buy, buy, buy", it's like opening a conversation. She went over and sized up He Xuanji, and said with a coquettish smile, "Xiangu is good-looking, and wearing these coarse clothes really spoils her good looks, but Xiangu, That cotton cloth is expensive, I’m afraid it’s not easy to buy!”

He Xuanji was stunned for a moment, she almost forgot about the copper coins, but fortunately Xiaolian mentioned it, otherwise she would go to the town empty-handed to make up the money and laugh out loud?

"That cotton cloth is expensive? How much does it cost?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on what kind of fabric it is, but ordinary cotton cloth is also tens of pennies a foot. If it is better, it can cost hundreds of pennies. In recent years, there have been famines, and basically all the land that can grow grain has been used to grow grain. How many people will grow these cottons, so the price of cotton cloth has skyrocketed."

Seeing He Xuanji's thoughtful expression, Xiaolian explained.

"Cotton cloth is very expensive, but is there any food that is expensive?"

Xiao Lian shook her head, "It must be that food is expensive! Clothes are foreign objects. As long as you can have something to eat these days, it will be the best to get through this time!"

"Yes!" He Xuanji smiled, and pointed to a basket of cassava piled up in the corner of the yard, "So you can exchange these things. I think the owner of the cloth shop will be willing to exchange cloth for food. Of course, if you can It would be even better if these cassava were processed and exchanged!"
