Farmhouse Small God Bowl

Chapter 87
"Brother Zhuang, I don't have any labor in my family, can I trouble you to help me send this wheat back?" Zhou Xiaobai looked at the pile of wheat and felt worried.With the small bodies of myself and Chen Mo, I don't know when I will move if I move by myself.

Wang Dazhuang slapped his forehead, "Big sister, look at my head, I should have moved it for you. Wherever you say you want to move, we will be responsible for helping you move it." Zhou Xiaobai asked Wang Dazhuang to tidy up his things, and trotted around by himself Then I went to brother Zhuangzi's house.Pulling the pile, the mother asked where to put it, and then ran back again.

The strength of the men's family is different. A few people went all the way, and quickly picked up the harvested wheat neatly.I asked Mrs. Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi was not in his house, so naturally I had to hire someone for the job of threshing wheat.Zhou Xiaobai saw that Wang Dazhuang and the others were doing a good job, so he wanted to keep them to thresh wheat, but he didn't know if they had time.

Zhou Xiaobai pulled Wang Dazhuang aside to discuss, and paid the salary first, "Brother Dazhuang, have you collected your own grain?"

Looking at the piles of wheat in the field, Wang Dazhuang was very envious, "Big sister, your wheat is growing really well, it's hanging ears so early, and mine still has a few days left, so I'll be free these days." Then, we came out to find something to do."

Zhou Xiaobai laughed heartily, but she was also surprised, the wheat in Zhuangzi's house was indeed matured a few days earlier than that in other houses, that's why it was so easy to invite people and have space available.After thinking about it, although Brother Zhuangzi's hard work is one aspect, the biggest possibility is that he planted those corns soaked in Shenshui.But these are my own secrets, so I can't tell them, so I can only smile.

"In this case, Brother Da Zhuang, I would like to ask you to continue to help my family threshing wheat. The wages will still be the same. Calculated according to the number of days, it will be fifteen yuan per person per day." The price Zhou Xiaobai said is actually quite fair. And her family's lunch is much better than other's.

Wang Dazhuang and several other brothers agreed together.Where to do things is not to do, this owner is so generous, they are naturally willing. "Big sister, you are also a real person. We brothers have a lot of strength. If you have anything to do in the future, just go to our village and let me know. It is very nice to have a big locust tree in front of my house. recognize."

Zhou Xiaobai also had this intention. In the future, his family will definitely hire people for a long time. It is better to be familiar with them than to be familiar with them, so as to avoid passing through Wang Yazi again and paying some money.The two hit it off.

Now that the matter has been discussed in this way, Wang Dazhuang is not a bitter and slippery person. Since it is still early, he called his brothers to start laying and threshing wheat.Zhou Xiaobai still wanted to cook some mung bean paste to relieve their fatigue, but this time they resolutely refused, saying that drinking such a good drink would shorten their lifespan, so they gave up, went back to cool some water, and brought it to them.

They didn't stop until it got dark, saying they wanted to go back.Zhou Xiaobai originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but they resolutely refused, saying that there was never such a rule, and they went back after packing up.

Zhou Xiaobai got up early the next day, her vegetable field hadn't grown yet, so she waited for the aunt who delivered the food, and asked her to bring more food, or the food for these people really wasn't enough.After the torment was over, seeing that his grandpa didn't seem to be moving, Zhou Xiaobai felt relieved for the time being, and ordered Chen Mo to look at his grandpa calmly before he went out to do errands.

Seeing Wang Dazhuang and the others working so hard yesterday, Zhou Xiaobai didn't want to treat them badly. He planned to go to the butcher Zhou at the entrance of the village to cut some meat for some meaty meat.When she got to the threshing ground, she saw that Wang Dazhuang and his brothers had already arrived, and they seemed to have been busy for a long time.

"Brother Zhuang, you've come here a long time ago!" Zhou Xiaobai didn't go there, and asked from a distance.

Wang Dazhuang just listened and rubbed his head, "Yeah, it's cool to get up early, so we wanted to come here earlier."

Zhou Xiaobai secretly said yes, this Wang Dazhuang and the others are really serious in their work.Originally speaking, the money is calculated on a daily basis, but they don't know how to steal and play tricks, but they want to finish it as soon as possible.Zhou Xiaobai thought, he really invited the right person.After exchanging a few pleasantries, I went to cut the meat.

Arriving at the gate of Butcher Zhou's house at the entrance of the village, he could smell a bloody smell from a distance, and Zhou Xiaobai wanted to vomit.I have never seen pig slaughter before, and buying meat is almost done, so how can I encounter such a situation?

Butcher Zhou was standing at the gate of the yard tidying up.The pig had already been killed, and he was about to unload it into eight pieces. Zhou Xiaobai was a rare visitor when he saw Zhou Xiaobai, but he was a visitor when he came, so he put down the butcher knife in his hand and greeted him. "Xiaobai, why did you think of cutting the flesh?"

Zhou's family is notoriously poor, and they can't eat pork once every year, so it's really rare to come to him.Zhou Xiaobai didn't care, smiled, and pointed to a piece of pork, "My family is hiring someone to do some work, so I'm here to cut some meat. Uncle, I want this one, and it's about two or two taels."

Butcher Zhou said to himself, this week the girl of the Zhou family still sees the sky, and she has become prosperous. What kind of pork does the worker eat, but the door-to-door business will naturally be done, so she cut off such a piece quickly and hung it up with a rope Handed it to Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't feel bad about spending dozens of Wen and a lot of money like this. For a foodie like her, it's not a waste to eat what's in her stomach.When I got home, I handed the pork to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo gave me a scolding. "Sister, why are you wasting so much?"

Zhou Xiaobai was about to say something, so he listened to Chen Mo's continuation. "If you cut it, cut it off. Why can't you see the slightest bit of meat, oil and water? What kind of meat is this?"

Only then did Zhou Xiaobai suddenly realize that Chen Mo disliked the meat she cut, it was too thin and not oily at all.It turns out that the ancient meat eaters always ate fatty meat, which had to be greasy. The fat meat was used to make lard residue before cooking. No one would only buy lean meat like her. "Anyway, lean meat is still meat. If you buy it, you can't return it."

Chen Mo babbled a few more words before starting to tidy up.Wang Dazhuang and the others still refused to eat at home for lunch, saying it was a waste of time, so Zhou Xiaobai still carried the food to the threshing ground.When she arrived, she saw that Wang Dazhuang and the others had already eaten.

It turned out that Zhuang Ziniang was upset because she knew that Zhou Xiaobai had paid for her wages and meals a few days ago.So I cooked the food early this morning and brought it to the threshing ground.After listening to Zhuangziniang, Wang Dazhuang knew that the real boss was Zhuangziniang, so he took it.

Farmers don't pay much attention, so they found a clean stone and sat down to eat. Zhou Xiaobai took a look at the dishes, and found that there was a big pot full of green vegetables, and the other ones were cornmeal buns and some pickles, which naturally couldn't be compared with his own.But she knew that it must be the best in Zhuangzi's mother's house, and this meal must have eaten up her rations for who knows how many days.

"Brother Zhuang, I invited you here, how can you just eat other people's food. Put it down, I brought all the food, don't you think it's bad for me?" Zhou Xiaobai gave the food to him. put out.

Putting it out, although the oil and water are not very big, but it is stained with meat, and the aroma is immediately rushed out.Zhou Xiaobai only heard a few swallows of saliva, and knew that they were actually too greedy.Pulling them over, "Ms. Zhuangzi, I cook a lot here, let's eat some together, otherwise the food can't stay overnight because of the hot weather."

The food brought by Zhou Xiaobai yesterday was generous enough, but this one even specially made meat dishes, which confused these peasants. It’s not like building a house, why is this owner so generous?Holding chopsticks and refusing to eat, Zhou Xiaobai was in a hurry, and directly put the food into their bowls, leaving the rest in his own and Mrs. Zhuangzi's bowls.

Now that it was all like this, they were not polite and ate it in big mouthfuls.After eating other people's New Year's meals, Wang Dazhuang and the others naturally refused to be lazy, so they continued after a short rest.

After helping Zhou Xiaobai clean up the dishes, Zhuang Ziniang pulled Zhou Xiaobai aside, "Xiaobai, you have spent a lot of money on hiring people and these meals. You do the math, and I will give it to you." Zhuang Zi Mother was very distressed when she saw the meals that Zhou Xiaobai brought, she might not be able to eat so much during the Chinese New Year, this girl Xiaobai has a good heart, but she can't waste money like this.

Zhou Xiaobai naturally refused. In her opinion, money is spent after earning it, and it depends on where it is spent. You, he can't worry about you."

Hearing what Zhou Xiaobai said, Zhuang Ziniang didn't believe it at all.These days, Zhuangzi's mother has long thought clearly, Zhuangzi stays at home all day long, how can she make some money.It was said before that Zhou Xiaobai was entrusted with the money to bring him, but Zhou Xiaobai probably gave it to him in private.I still don't know what the Zhou family is like, this Xiaobai girl is so sincere, I'm afraid she gave her all her family property to herself.But the money has already been spent, and it is impossible to return it to her.As an old woman, I can't eat that much, so I can no longer take advantage of others.

After explaining this to Zhou Xiaobai, Zhou Xiaobai just smiled and refused to admit it. Instead, he told Zhuangziniang to rest assured that she should worry about everything.Zhuang Ziniang also refused to do nothing at home by herself, so Zhou Xiaobai gave her the matter of delivering water and planned to go to town.

There are a lot of people eating at home these days, so the rations are not enough, it's time to go to the town to buy some.There is only one or two taels of silver left in his bosom. Although the money for selling fish is quite a lot, it has been spent in miscellaneous things these days.Fortunately, there is still money to sell mung beans, but this money is kept by Chen Mo.It will be cold soon, and there are too many things to buy at home, so I still need to save some money.Zhou Xiaobai hoped that the fish pond could be really raised, so that the family would not have to worry about it.

Now that he came to the town, Zhou Xiaobai naturally wanted to check the situation of the fish pond.When I saw it, I sighed in admiration. Sure enough, the water was almost fat, and it was time to lay the fry.Seeing that Shang Luoran had specially left a guard behind by the pond, Zhou Xiaobai ordered him to release the water, and then went to the merchant to inform Shang Luoran that he would lay fish fry tomorrow.

Since the fry will be released tomorrow, Zhou Xiaobai will go home and prepare.A few days ago, Zhou Xiaobai was not idle at home. He couldn't do it by himself, so he asked his aunt to help him make some bags and wanted to catch fish.

My aunt didn't bring it all the time, presumably because the family was very busy, so Zhou Xiaobai made a detour to my aunt's house after buying white noodles.To be honest, Zhou Xiaobai was still a little afraid to see his aunt, for fear that she would talk about his marriage again.

Hurrying home, Zhou Xiaobai didn't enter the door, and called her aunt at the door, waiting for her to take out the finished cloth bag, "Xiaobai, this is the cloth bag you asked me to make, I don't know what you are doing. What a waste of cloth. And the cloth you bought last time, I have already made the winter clothes for the three of you, and you will take them back together later.”

Zhou Xiaobai thanked the aunt, and said in her heart that she didn't mention any more marriage matters, and was about to run away, but was pulled aside by Zhou Xifeng, mysteriously, "Xiaobai, I heard that a person from your village recently came The fairy girl who opened the eyes of the sky. Is there such a thing?"

Uh, why has this matter spread here, it seems that this sorceress is quite serious.Zhou Xiaobai nodded, "It's a blind witch."

"Crack" Zhou Xifeng slapped Zhou Xiaobai on the back, "You girl, you don't know how to speak properly. You call the witch, and she is called Xiangu. Listen, this fairy can open the eyes of the sky. She can see 500 years in the past and the present. In the past and present lives, you can even invite gods to possess you, Xiaobai, please tell me if it is true."

God, this is really three people becoming tigers, and the blind-eyed lady has already become a fairy here, Zhou Xiaobai just wanted to refute, but think about it, some things are really uncertain, such as his time travel, grandpa's fortune-telling , and the little god bowl, so I'm not sure.There are so many weird things in this world, and there are many unexplainable things, "I don't know, Chen Mo and Grandpa have been there, but it is said that Xiangu is very effective."

Oh.Even his own father said that the Fairy Goddess is effective, so he must be right, Zhou Xifeng still has some understanding of his father.Seeing the aunt's eagerness to try, Zhou Xiaobai wondered if she was thinking about it. "Auntie, don't you also plan to go and have a look?"

Zhou Xifeng nodded. She has been married for several years. Although her mother-in-law is good, she has never given birth to a son. It has always been her heart disease, so when she heard that there is a fairy girl, she naturally wanted to pay her respects, "I want to ask the fairy girl to ask me what Time to conceive a child."

Uh, if you don’t have a son in the countryside, people will gossip about it. Although Zhou Xiaobai felt that it was unreliable to ask for a fairy girl, he finally said nothing, "Then aunt, you should go early, this fairy girl only sees about ten people every day." .”
