Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 87 We used to be really too much
Mu Tianze recalled that when Shen Jiayan first married into the Mu family, although she was slender, she had fair skin, black hair, gentleness, and a soft voice, she was really a delicate beauty, otherwise the brothers and sisters would not He would have so much hostility towards Shen Jiayan, the stepmother.

Since when did Shen Jiayan's face turn sallow?Looks skinny?

Mu Tianze suddenly realized that he couldn't remember anymore.

He didn't dare to look any more, he just felt his heart was so dull and uncomfortable, and he looked back almost in a bit of embarrassment.

Shen Jiayan didn't know what the Mu brothers and sisters were thinking, so after the medicine was boiled, he put the medicine jar aside to cool down, looked at the sun, it was time to cook again.

Walking into the kitchen, I saw that half of the bag of flour that was brought out yesterday had been removed, the jar of pickles had almost bottomed out, and there was not much oil left. This was the result of Quan's and Bai's saving and saving.

I couldn't help but sighed, this country life with three oil bottles is really not easy!
Because she arranged a lot of things for Mu Yue, Shen Jiayan didn't ask Mu Yue to cook anymore, but did it herself, making noodles for lunch.

Hand-rolled noodles, cut into finger thickness with a knife, boil a pot of water, sprinkle the noodles in, cook and remove.

Put a little salt, a little lard, a little scallion, and a little soy sauce in the bowl, put the noodles in, pour two spoonfuls of boiling noodle soup, and you're ready to eat.

Mu Yue was nagged by Quan who was sleeping with her for a long time yesterday, and now she finally winks.

Just after removing the quilt and bedding, he took it out and soaked it. Seeing that Shen Jiayan's rice was ready, he helped move the tables and benches, set the bowls and take the chopsticks without shouting.

Shen Jiayan scooped up a bowl of noodles by himself, threw in a few soaked tender bamboo shoots, and finished eating on his own, leaving the bowl and chopsticks behind, went into the house to work for a while, and the boiled medicine came out just at the right temperature.

I closed my eyes and pinched my nose, and gulped it down in one go. The taste was really ecstasy.

Spicy, with a bit of sourness, after the sourness, there is a strange sweetness, and after the sweetness, there is a pungent smell like star anise, which almost made Shen Jiayan spit it out.

This is really the worst medicine Shen Jiayan has ever drunk!It took a while for my stomach to churn, and then I barely calmed down.

Shen Jiayan rinsed her mouth, and went out with a disheveled face.

When Mu Tianze saw Shen Jiayan's painful expression after drinking the medicine, and then watched Mu Yue take out his share of medicine, his expression suddenly became tangled.

Mu Yue didn't think too much about it, so she lit the fire and let Mu Tianze look at the medicine jar by herself, first washed the dishes and cleaned up the stove.

He came out again to wash the bedding that had been removed.

The bedding is made of cotton, and it is very heavy after absorbing water. With Mu Yue's current strength, she really can't lift it or rub it.

Mu Yue dragged the heavy bedding out of the basin, put it on the stone by the well, took out two soap horns that had been burnt in the embers of the stove, threw them on the bedding, and beat them with a mallet. Flip the bedding aside.

After beating the bedding, water must be fetched from the well to rinse the bedding.

Generally speaking, household clothes are washed at home, and women in the village will go to the river to wash such large bedding, so that they can be washed clean.

But Mu Yue is weak, so if she throws the bedding into the river, she might not only be unable to pull it up, but if she is not careful, the current will be faster, and it is not impossible for her to be dragged directly into the river by the bedding.

Therefore, Mu Yue dare not go to the river to wash clothes.

Mu Tianze wanted to help, but unfortunately he only had one good arm and couldn't use his strength, so he had to watch Mu Yue pour half a bucket of water up at once, and was so tired that his hair was soaked before he managed to rinse the bedding clean.

Without the strength to wring out the bedding and quilt, Mu Yue could only wash her feet, stepped on the water hard, and panting on the stool, she put the washed bedding on the bamboo pole, dripping water still dripping. Can't care less.

After washing all this, Mu Yue was almost exhausted. She sat down on the steps and gasped for breath, while beating her waist and arms, which were sore and painful, especially her waist, which was almost impossible to straighten.

She never knew that unpacking and washing bedding and bedding was so tiring!
The three brothers and sisters all love cleanliness. They have developed a habit over the years. If the bedding is not washed for more than ten days and half a month, they will feel uncomfortable. Before, there were servants in the family who washed the wife. They would change and wash them whenever they felt a little uncomfortable. There was never much. thought about it.

It was the same when they arrived in Dongguang Village. After more than half a month, they yelled at their stepmother to remove and wash the quilt. Shen Jiayan never said anything before, and silently removed and washed it, and then sewed it back for them. They were also used to it.

Now it's my turn to realize how painful this is.

It was late spring and early summer, and she was so tired that she couldn't stand up straight. She didn't know how her stepmother survived the cold winter.

Mu Yue was a little lost in thought, biting her lip, feeling ashamed at the way their siblings treated their stepmother for granted.

Mu Tianze sat down with the boiled medicine and waited for the medicine to cool down. The siblings looked at the dripping bedding in the courtyard together, lost their thoughts. After a while, the two siblings said in unison: "Brother——"

"Ah Yue—"

Looking at each other, Mu Yue first said: "Brother, I suddenly discovered that we were really too much before! Let's treat our stepmother better in the future—"

Mu Tianze nodded silently, and downed the hot medicine in the bowl in one gulp. The medicine was bitter and unbearable, just like his mood at the moment.

Shen Jiayan didn't know that she just let Mu Yue wash the bedding by herself, but it still had such an effect. If she knew, she would definitely laugh, it's all a habitual fault of the original owner.

It doesn't matter to them, let them do their own things, won't they understand quickly?

It's because of the lack of suffering!

At this moment, Shen Jiayan was strolling around the vegetable gardens of various families in the village. Last time she found beets, that is, thick-skinned vegetables, in the vegetable garden of Li Goudan's house.

Today, I wandered around Dongguang Village, and found that many people also planted this.

Sugar beets are usually planted in February and March, and can be harvested in June and July, and can be planted for another season in September, and can be harvested again in the winter months, and can be planted twice a year.

The beets are doing pretty well now.

It just doesn't look like there are many.

Because Shen Jiayan was thinking about buying and planting a large number of beets to boil sugar.

In this time and space, sugar is a rare and precious thing, and most importantly, no one has been able to refine white sugar.

The best is nothing but brown sugar.

But she remembered that when she saw a food blogger made a video, the video recorded how to refine white sugar with the ancient method.

Because one of the steps is so unimaginable that people can hardly think of it, so let her remember it very clearly.

There are not many tools needed, and the method is actually not complicated. As long as the steps are good, you will not miss it.

If white sugar can be refined, getting rich overnight is not a dream!

It's just that there are not many people growing beets, which makes her a little worried. Without raw materials, no matter how good she thinks, it's useless.

However, the land that had just been dug out to grow corn and sorghum had a new use.

Plant beets, and they will be harvested in June and July, and then buy some from the village, and try it out first, which is enough.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiayan went straight to Li Goudan's house, and had to ask Mrs. Quan, who had extra beet seedlings?

　Thanks to my dear chubby girl Yuwei and Man Diliu for their monthly pass!
