Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 45 He Comes Every Day
Chapter 45 He Comes Everyday
When He Lanshan and He Jinyi went to the bottom of the broken bridge to dig the money back, Zhao Shuangxi had already prepared lunch. Although it was lunch, it was actually already afternoon.

The family hadn't bought a table and stools yet, so He Jinyi didn't have the time to find someone to help them to buy them in the county town.

They ate around the stove.

For a small bowl of braised beef, everyone didn't put down their chopsticks at first, because in the past when they were poor, they felt it was a luxury when they saw meat. It was Zhao Shuangxi who took the bowls one by one. He Jinyi tasted a small half of Chang's taste alone.

"Mother, the beef is so delicious!" He Qinmao came alive after he recovered. The rice in his bowl was covered with sauce, and the braised beef was soft and sticky without clogging the teeth.

"It's delicious, eat more, beef is not easy to buy."

Even Zhao Shuangxi only ate beef for the second time in his life. How could ordinary farmers be willing to kill their cattle? The beef sold on the street either died of old age, disease, or falling to death.

Like the beef in a restaurant, maybe some high-ranking official wanted to eat it, so he killed a healthy cow.

"Mom, the fish intestines are also delicious. We used to make fish intestines and we couldn't eat a few chopsticks!"

He Lanshan narrowed her happy eyes. There used to be more than a dozen people, and they would disappear if they didn't grab it. Now that they moved to the wooden house, the food of the brothers became more refined.

The family of six enjoyed this lunch, and there was also a cold shepherd's purse, which made everyone full.

Zhao Shuangxi looked at the bareness of the house, and asked He Jinyi to find an old carpenter in the village to buy a table and chairs first, and then go to buy two bags of sweet potatoes, otherwise he would eat rice all at once, and the family would be empty.

Before He Jinyi left, he handed the basket to Zhao Shuangxi, "Shuangxi, we'll have to build a house on the foundation tomorrow, I bought a big stick to add food to the big guy, and asked the villagers to help me with food. "

"I see, you go now." Zhao Shuangxi waved him away.

He Lanshan stared straight at the big stick bone, stewed the big stick bone, and took a sip of the bone marrow, it felt like heaven, and the grilled bone marrow was also delicious.

"Mother, what are you going to do with this big bone?" She pulled Zhao Shuangxi and asked.

"When my mother goes to my aunt's house to exchange rice for a piece of cabbage, tomorrow I will fry the cabbage with the stewed big stick bone soup, so that the dish will also have a meaty taste, otherwise there will be too many people, and a big stick bone will not be evenly distributed." Zhao Double Happiness is a good housekeeper, calculating how to use the simplest ingredients to feed the people who come to help, "Let's make some cold shepherd's purse, and make some black-faced steamed buns."

"Hey." He Lanshan hung her head, she lost her soul after cooking such a big stick bone, thinking that now is also an extraordinary period, when their new house is built, they will not worry about not having a big stick bone to eat.

She also learned a lot about the prices of this era from Zhao Shuangxi.

For example, pig offal, pig bones, and pig's trotters are all things that people don't like to eat, because they cost firewood and there is no good meat, so they usually give them away as a gift when they go shopping.

"Lanshan, come and help mother kill chickens." Zhao Shuangxi greeted.

kill chicken?He Lanshan had a bitter face, she originally wanted Zhao Shuangxi to hand over this job to her brothers, but found that they had long since disappeared.

Only then did I remember that my elder brother seemed to have said that it would save money for the family to hunt pigweed and exchange sweet potatoes with others. It seemed that the three elder brothers had all gone out.

When He Lanshan bit the bullet, she realized that Zhao Shuangxi just asked her to make a move and take the chicken for a while.

The four roosters that Mrs. He gave were young roosters who could not crow yet, and their feathers and combs were not bright.Because he didn't have the fighting power of a rooster weighing seven or eight pounds, He Lanshan hugged it easily.

Zhao Shuangxi filled a bowl of clean water in the basin, added some salt, and told He Lanshan to turn her head away when killing the chicken.

When the little rooster crowed miserably, He Lanshan had already seen the bright red blood flow from the rooster's throat into the basin. She was not afraid, and asked curiously, "Mom, can chicken blood be eaten?"

"Of course I can eat it. The chicken blood that has been added with water and salt is tender and not fishy. Stir-fry it and stew it with Chinese cabbage. It tastes better than tofu!"

Zhao Shuangxi shook the chicken wings a few times to drain the blood, "Everyone says what to eat to make up for it. Your father bleeds so much, so of course we need to make up for him."

In the blink of an eye, the three chickens were dealt with by Zhao Shuangxi, receiving a large pot of chicken blood.

According to Zhao Shuangxi's words, these chickens are still wasting food while they are alive, and there is no food to feed the chickens when people can't eat enough.In addition, a rooster with the largest physique and the most edible rooster was left, which was used to worship the ancestors at that time.

Zhao Shuangxi boiled boiling water, let it cool for a while, then threw the three chickens into it, soaked the three roosters with a mallet, and then shaved the chickens, just like giving them a bath .

"Mom, do we keep one?" He Lanshan looked at Zhao Shuangxi who had prepared brine in the pot.

Naturally, there were no such things as family separation, but Zhao Shuangxi was an enthusiastic person. After going out for a while, he asked his neighbors to borrow them. The three chickens were soaked in brine.

Zhao Shuangxi added a bundle of firewood to the stove before looking up at this stingy girl.

"I won't keep it anymore. Look at Brother Gu who doesn't even charge eight taels of silver. How much are these three little roosters worth? Give them away. There's also beef!"

As Zhao Shuangxi said, he took down a basket from the wooden hook on the beam, and there was a bowl of braised beef in braised sauce. He Lanshan looked at it enviously, but Zhao Shuangxi was right.

When the three chickens came out of the pot, they had been stewed into sauce red. Zhao Shuangxi put four boiled and peeled eggs into the pot, and simmered them with the residual temperature of the charcoal fire. Once stewed, it was the children's night food. dish.

In order to express her sincerity, Zhao Shuangxi did not ask He Lanshan to deliver it this time, but went to deliver it herself.

When Zhao Shuangxi came back, she brought back a big pannier, and as soon as she entered the room, she greeted He Lanshan, her eyebrows almost flying into the sky with joy, "Come and see, what is this?"

"Is it rabbit fur?" He Lanshan watched as the rabbit fur that Zhao Shuangxi poured out covered the entire bed.

"It's great, we don't have to suffer from the cold this winter, and each of us has a woolen vest." Zhao Shuang happily talked to He Lanshan about meeting Gu Liuyun.

Subconsciously, she no longer regards her as an ignorant child, but as an adult who can negotiate things.

It turned out that Gu Liuyun accepted the stewed chicken and beef, and gave so many gray rabbit furs, Zhao Shuangxi refused to give the money.He didn't take any money, he just said that his mother had gone out and would not be back for a month, so Zhao Shuangxi suggested that her family should pay for this month's meals.

"Mom, what are you talking about, he comes to our house for this meal every night?"

"Yes, from tomorrow."

He Lanshan felt that Gu Liuyun came here on purpose to eat and drink.
