Co-wife

Chapter 86

"Go to Peach Blossom Spring?" Qiu Ju asked, her eyes lit up after hearing Chen Chunhua's words. "Sister-in-law, I also want to visit Peach Blossom Spring. I heard that the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Spring are really beautiful!"

Seeing Qiu Ju thinking like this, Chen Chunhua couldn't help but patted her on the forehead and said. "Why, if you don't go, can the third brother and I be busy?"

"Why, I can go too?" Qiu Ju said, her happy hands and feet not knowing where to put them. "I'm going...what do I want to do when I go to Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Of course I have to do something, I didn't see me busy here!" Chen Chunhua cast a funny look at Qiu Ju, poured the wet glutinous rice flour from the cloth bag into the wooden basin, and said. "I didn't go back to Taohuayuan because I wanted to play. I heard from my aunt who was burning the fire in the restaurant that I took advantage of those few days to earn some money. There are so many people!"

"Hey, sister-in-law needs to do something else, I will do it!" Chen Chunhua was not polite, wiped her hands, took out a purse and handed it to her, said. "Go to the grain and oil store now and tell Niuzi that you will send twenty catties of rice and glutinous rice!"

After hearing this, Qiu Ju quickly took the purse and went out.The wet glutinous rice flour was hung overnight last night, and today it is very soft. After thinking about it, I went to the kitchen to get a dustpan, and then went to the kitchen to clean the soaked goji berries. There are a lot of raisins, if there are raisins, she searched several shops but couldn't find raisins, so she had no choice but to use these candied dates instead.

I took out the candied dates and chopped them up, and got some sweet potato powder to thicken it later.

Chen Chunhua originally wanted to make sesame glutinous rice balls, but the sesame seeds are very expensive.If you put sesame seeds, the cost will be high, so it's not worth it.She also told the shopkeeper that she would borrow a stove and a cauldron from him, as well as the dishes and chopsticks, and start making them when she arrived at Taohuayuan.

She not only sells glutinous rice balls, but also sweet potato balls, and there are still sweet potatoes in the house, although the season is over.But it can still be eaten and used. Thinking of this, Chen Chunhua stood up and went to the yard to have a look. The vines of the sweet potatoes had grown and could be cut off and planted in the ground.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!" The third child entered the yard.Seeing Chen Chunhua's anxious face, he said. "What's wrong?"

Chen Chunhua pointed to the sweet potato seedlings and said. "Third brother, it's time to plant the potatoes and melons, but I said I'm going to Taohuayuan, and I have to go in six days. How can I make it through?"

After hearing this, the third child said. "Why don't you wait until you come back from the Peach Blossom Spring?"

"That won't work. After waiting for so long, the time has passed long ago. If it is too late, I will not get a good harvest!" Chen Chunhua thought for a while and said. "Or, just take advantage of the time now. I planted the potatoes and melons, and the shop didn't sell tofu for two days. I made a lot of dried tofu yesterday, and I only sold dried tofu and bean sprouts!"

The third child listened, nodded, and said. "become!"

"Oh, third brother, it's past the noon now, you go and get an ox cart, I'll cut off the potato, melon and vine right now, and when Qiu Ju comes back, we'll go back to the village!"

After the two agreed, they got to work without further ado. The youngest hired an ox cart to come back, and Chen Chunhua also cut a small half of the sweet potato vines, said. "Hurry up and find Xiaozi to pretend!"

The third child found two baskets to put all the potatoes, melons and vines, which was not enough. After Chen Chunhua finished cutting and put them in a big pile, Chen Chunhua looked at these, rubbed the seeds on his head, and said. "Isn't there an old cloth in the utility room, go find it!"

After all this was done, the drivers waited outside the shop for a long time. Qiu Ju led Niu Zi to the shop, and twenty catties of rice and twenty catties of glutinous rice were also delivered.Qiu Ju told Chen Chunhua how much money, then returned the rest to her, said. "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Qiu Ju, my third brother and I will go back to the village to plant potatoes and melons. If it's getting late, you can rest first and don't wait for the door!"

"Oh, it's done!"

After explaining a few words to Qiu Ju, Chen Chunhua and Lao San went back to the village in an ox cart. The driver knew they were in a hurry, so the driver was unambiguous, and they arrived at the entrance of the village in half an hour.

"Uncle, can you wait?"

The uncle driving the car said. "Can you wait, I don't have much work to do when I go back, if you are too busy, can I help you?"

After hearing this, Chen Chunhua said hastily. "Succeed, count uncle, and I will count the wages with you when I go back later!"

Chen Chunhua came back, looked at the group of busy people in front of the yard, walked over quickly, and said. "Brother!"

The boss stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat, turned to look at Chen Chunhua, and said. "Daughter-in-law, why are you back, third child?"

Chen Chunhua put down the bag on her shoulders and said. "The potato, melon and vines have also been cut. It's time to plant them in the ground. In a few days, my third brother and I will go to Taohuayuan to make a profit when there are many people!"

The boss didn't react much after hearing this, but seemed to have understood Chen Chunhua's thoughts, said. "Are you going to spend the night in the house tonight?"

"Not overnight, go back to town after work!"

Seeing so many potato and melon vines, the boss stood up and said. "I'm busy working together, the house can't be delayed!"

Chen Chunhua is naturally happy, the house is only in its infancy and nothing can be seen.

The pits in this field were dug early in the morning, just waiting for the sweet potato vines. "Brother, this piece belongs to our house?"

"No, the three acres of land belong to our house, the big one next door belongs to the second aunt's house, and the land in front of it belongs to the big pillar house!"

Chen Chunhua nodded, took out a handful of sweet potato vines, and said. "Put the potato and melon vines in the pit like I did, and put them away first. The third brother and the eldest brother go to the back mountain to pick up the grass ash. I don't know if it is enough!"

"That's enough. There's not enough on the back mountain. There's still a bunch of them here. I burned a pile of grass ash when I was building that land!"

"That's it, let's get busy!"

Chen Chunhua and the uncle who drove the car put the sweet potato seedlings together, and the eldest and third child went to pick the ashes. This man is so good at doing things, and the speed is beyond Chen Chunhua's expectation.

Putting sweet potato seedlings is the fastest. The uncle who drove the car saw how Chen Chunhua put them, and then followed them. The speed of putting raw and cooked ones is much faster.

When the eldest and third child picked up the ashes, Chen Chunhua put a few handfuls of ashes and asked them to put them as she did.

Originally, I thought that I would have to work until dark, but I might not be able to finish the work. It was not yet dark, and the sweet potato vines were all planted, and then several people went to fetch water to water it again.

"Brother, water the potatoes and melons again tomorrow morning. Don't use too much water. Water them again in the afternoon. If the gray is light, then bury some more soil. I guess it will be done in two or three days!" When she saw her grandfather planting sweet potatoes like this, she woke up the next day and saw, my good fellow, those sweet potato vines were all withered. She thought she would not survive, but she didn't expect that it would grow well after a few days.

"Chunhua, you're back!" Chen Chunhua had just walked to the gate of the yard with the scorpion, when the second aunt came out, saw Chen Chunhua hurried over, took her hand and said. "I haven't seen you for a long time. I was very happy with the things you brought back on the big pillar last time. Why are you still thinking about it so much?" Indeed, after the flooding, her house was also short of food It's very expensive, I have to go to the town to buy it, but the white flour was very expensive at that time, who in their village would be willing to buy it!

Chen Chunhua shook his head and smiled. "Second Aunt, don't say that, I don't have much free time here, otherwise I can chat with you, I have to hire someone to repair the house, and I have to rely on you to help here!"

"Hey, what am I helping you with, let's make a good lunch and fill myself up!"

"Hey, I won't say much. When I have free time, I will come back and talk to you. This busy work is over, and we have to go to town!"

After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she left with the third child and the others. The second aunt hadn't chatted with Chen Chunhua for a few days, so she felt strange.

When I got back to the town, it was already dark. Chen Chunhua calculated the wages and the two round trips to the uncle and gave it to the uncle. It was a total of [-] cash, which was more profitable than going to work outside for a day.

The uncle was also polite, and directly took it over, saying. "Boss, I wish you a prosperous business. It's getting dark, so I'll go first!"

Chen Chunhua nodded, turned around, walked to the shop, and knocked on the door. Qiu Ju was just preparing dinner in the kitchen, when she heard the voice, she asked at the top of her voice. "Who is it?"

"Qiu Ju, it's me!"

After hearing this voice, Qiu Ju hurried to open the door and said. "Eldest sister-in-law, third brother, you are very fast!"

"It's pretty fast, and I even hired someone to help, otherwise I won't be able to finish the work tomorrow!" Chen Chunhua said before entering the room, and said. "But have you had dinner?"

"No, I just planned to knead the noodles and make a bowl of noodles for Erzhu to eat. He has no taste for anything he eats these days."

"Stop kneading noodles. Let's eat glutinous rice balls tonight. Go and boil a pot of water for me. Half a pot will be enough!" Chen Chunhua fetched water and washed his hands. on the table.

"Daughter-in-law, didn't you say that these glutinous rice balls were sold in Taohuayuan? Why did we eat them by ourselves?" The third child watched Chen Chunhua round the glutinous rice flour into a small ball and put it on the dustpan, washed his hands, and helped work together.

Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "This is going to be sold in Peach Blossom Garden, but we have to try it ourselves to see if it tastes good. If it doesn't taste good, we will go there. Who will buy it?" Have a taste, so that you can feel at ease.

When Qiuju boiled the water, she put the glutinous rice balls into the pot and boiled them for a while. Seeing many glutinous rice balls floating on the water, she put the pickled and chopped candied dates into the pot and stirred them for a while. I took a small sip of sweet potato flour, melted it in a bowl filled with water and poured it into the pot, said. "Qiu Ju, you don't need to burn the fire, just leave a few flames." After finishing speaking, he looked at the third child again. "Third brother, help me take out the powdered sugar in the cabinet!"

After putting the powdered sugar, the glutinous rice balls were also ready, and I took a sea bowl and put a bowl in each, and then served it on the table.

Looking at the three-color glutinous rice balls makes people feel sweet, and they look very good. "Sister-in-law, where did you learn it from? Why don't I have this ability!"

After hearing this, Chen Chunhua tapped the bowl with chopsticks and said. "You can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
