There is a lack of supplies here, and Xu Tianxin has been deeply affected by the treasure chest. He has to read the book before reading anything to avoid using it.

Especially after having the four volumes of medicinal encyclopedias lent to her by Huo Yunqian, they were very good and covered many aspects, and she read them habitually, fearing that if she threw something away, it would be in vain.

So I’m going to eat pomegranate tonight. Xu Tianxin checked it out in advance. After drying, the pomegranate peel can stop diarrhea, stop bleeding, and expel roundworms. The pomegranate leaves can also be used to make tea.

As for pomegranate seeds, she knew as early as modern times that eating them was good for the body and had the effect of preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but she still did not eat pomegranate seeds in modern times.

Until she heard that pomegranate seeds can delay aging, she stopped eating pomegranate seeds.

I like the "stone" very much, and the "grape" is in my heart.

"Is it delicious? It's too milky."

"It's delicious, and there's a sweet taste when you take a bite. I've never seen him even in such a long life when I was a maid in Wang's family." The old lady covered her mouth with her hand and smiled: "I didn't expect that I am older than that old man Wang. People are still blessed, sitting cross-legged on the hot bed and eating rare things." It really took advantage of the child.

In the Xu family's big house, there are two rows of tall vegetable racks on both sides of the ground, with green celery and newly sprouted green onions growing inside.

On the six-meter-high fire kang, because there was a lot of cooking today, the head of the kang was extremely hot, and the buttocks were burned and no one could sit on it. The Xu family could only sit on the top and waist position of the kang, using wax on the wooden edge of the kang. Four red candle lights stuck with oil and two lamp oil stands were used to eat "desserts" around two large basins.

It stands to reason that even on New Year's Eve, there is no need to be so extravagant and bright, but the live broadcast room is still broadcasting.

Xu Tianxin wants to record every smiling face of his family: "Big Bird, wave to me."

Big Bird didn't know why, but it didn't affect his cooperation.

At present, Dapeng, Dafei and Big Bird, the Big Bird has the best relationship with Xu Tianxin. Xu Tianxin still doesn't admit that she is naive, which shows that she can only play with ten-year-old children.

Daniao, a ten-year-old boy, was chewing a few red pomegranates while waving to the "camera" Xu Tianxin and smiling innocently.

The old lady glanced at Big Bird, smiled so much that she narrowed her eyes and waved to Xu Tianxin, asking her to wave, even if she waved.

Fresh fruit is so rare here that she can only eat half of it. She can't listen to her great-grandson and eat just one. The old lady finished a quarter and then lied and said her teeth were sore.

Xu Tianxin looked at Xu Zhaozhao again.

Xu Zhaozhao fiddled with his hair awkwardly before looking at the "camera" Xu Tianxin with bright eyes.

Dayue took the pomegranate seeds from her second brother and was sipping them one by one. When she found Tian Xin'er looking at her, she lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Xu Tianxin also recorded her breasts sitting on the edge of the kang while soaking her feet in hot water.

While sharing a pomegranate with her eldest grandson beside her, she said, "Eat some more, come on, I can't get enough milk."

"I can't eat milk either."

Ai? Where are her three uncles?

Xu Tianxin thought for a while, got off the kang, put on his shoes, went to the kitchen to light the torch and went to the backyard.

Mrs. Xu looked at Pomegranate's gold ring, smiled and asked her granddaughter what she was doing.

"Go up to the hut."

In the backyard, the three uncles were indeed under the Xu Youtian tree.

The three of them came here when they were frustrated, when they came here when they were happy, and when they came back from a long trip, they had to squat here and report.

It seems that this big tree was not planted for her, but a beacon for the three uncles.

The three of them were squatting in a circle around the big tree, not afraid of the cold. They were sharing pomegranates in front of the big tree while chatting:

"My eldest brother has been very close to us since we were children many years ago, but the strange thing is that what I remember is all about the few years before he left."

Xu Laoer was very upset. He was really afraid that in a few years, he would forget even how his eldest brother pulled up his younger brothers in the years before he left. Did he suffer from a stupid disease with great forgetfulness?

Xu Youyin said: "Yes, second brother, I don't remember what happened to the eldest brother when he was a child."

Xu Lao Er glanced at Lao Si with disgust: "You two were young to begin with. You were not there at that time. It's strange that you can remember."

Xu Tianxin came over and said, "Uncles, what are you talking about?"

Xu Youyin quickly stood up with a smile and said: "Talk about why this pomegranate is so delicious. I guess that the general gave you and your milk, and his subordinates may not be able to share it. We don't know how to thank you. What do you think we should do? Is it possible to plant the seeds in the ground? Our family will be able to eat them in a few years, and it will also save the general’s steward from having to travel thousands of miles to deliver this to our family.”

Xu Tianxin thought to himself: We can grow pineapples in flower pots at home and eat them in three years. It is not a hassle to plant this. The tree is too tall. What kind of fruit and vegetable greenhouse would be needed to support the pomegranate tree?

"Uncle, you'd better eat the seeds. I heard that this stuff is good for the skin. Your face looks like it's thirty years old. Did I forget to apply facial oil on you and my third uncle's face again? You It seems that we girls only have one bottle every two to three months, so you guys should pour it in. I saw you two using a small bottle yesterday and still have more than half of it left."

The three brothers of the Xu family never take washing their faces and applying facial oil seriously.

Xu Laoer said with a smile: "Tian Xin'er will give you one can every month, so you can spoil your aunt. This year your aunt is really..." Hurry up and catch up with the landlord's mother-in-law.

There were several bottles and cans on the window sill next to the small qinqing bed. He just scrubbed and washed them and tortured him.

Take the soapy water for washing his face as an example. When his wife used up the soapy water, he would continue to wash his face. After washing, he would soak a cloth handkerchief in the water and wipe his armpits. Unless he sweated while working and had a sour smell, he would finish wiping it off. Then he washed his feet and socks with soapy water until there was no foam at all. He was so tired when he saw the soapy water.

Not to mention that Xiaoqin had to wash his face and apply facial oil again the next day, and then she woke up early and acted like crazy. She hugged his neck and started rubbing him. They didn’t care whether he wanted to touch his face or not, but she had to ask for facial oil later. If you wash it off, it will be in vain. If you sleep overnight, rub it on him.

"Let's go inside and eat frozen persimmons."

This time the hot kang was full of people.

A large pot of frozen persimmon soaked in cold water is placed in the middle. It must be mostly soaked, otherwise it won't be sweet when you bite it.

After slowing down, the frozen persimmon will become trembling. The outside of the persimmon skin is crystal clear and can be broken by a blow, but the golden persimmon flesh becomes tight after thawing.

Everyone followed Xu Tianxin's example and sipped the frozen persimmon soup with their mouths first. The frozen persimmon soup was cool and sweet. After sucking up the sweet water, they then bit into the persimmon meat. The meat was bouncy and not astringent at all.

Mrs. Xu praised her three sons, "This time it's better than the ones the third son bought last time. It's clear that the store didn't mind it and put the frozen persimmons, apples and pears in the cellar for a while to taste them. That’s why it’s not bitter.”

She didn't understand the specific principle. Anyway, as long as a few kinds of fruits were kept together for a while, they would become less astringent.

Xu Tianxin only ate half of it, then put it aside with little care, and used his little hands to grab a handful of melon seeds and eat them.

One of her legs was crossed and one leg was straight. On the straight leg was a small basket of melon seeds. There were not only melon seeds but also pine nuts. She was like a little mouse, planning to eat a mouthful of melon seeds and pine nuts. , eat until your throat becomes dry and then take a bite of frozen persimmon. It's like the coldness and sweetness slide down your throat, and your soul seems to be singing Xintianyou.

People in the live broadcast room are asking whether they sell pine nuts and why your pine nuts are so big.

Whether we sell frozen persimmons or not, why are your family so greedy for everything they eat?

When will it go on sale?

Xu Tianxin quickly took the time to answer, "The pine nuts will be sold after new ones come out this year. As for the rest, you can wait for grandma to get it together. She wants to find ginseng and deer antler slices for you." Even a ginseng seed is good here.

If you don't buy anything else, you must buy it.

At that time, several items will be on sale together with Dazai porridge and salted duck eggs. And the duck eggs haven't been pickled or salted yet. Grandma said that if the family picks which one, they can write their names on the eggs. If they don't sell the salted duck eggs with big ballast porridge, they won't let them sell them.

On this night, Xu's family stayed up until four in the morning. After all, folk traditions include keeping vigil.

And the topic is even more complicated.

Talking about the new house: "You can't build everything at once, and you can't build a house that's more luxurious than a big landlord's house in one go. So the land is occupied first. This year, we still have to use that land as a garden to grow vegetables, and dry them after they are planted." Keep it in the winter and sell it to make money, and then use the money earned to build houses. Look, it’s just enough money to build houses one by one.”

In three or two years, our family will be able to build a castle.

"No? Xin'er."    "Fine." Rome was not built in a day.

As for the old house they live in now, the three of them are trying their best to keep this big room.

Because they wanted to worship their eldest brother who couldn't enter the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall didn't give him a place, they built a better and spacious one.

And facing the back yard of this house, they had to dig out the toilet and plant all the trees. Various fruit trees kept their eldest brother from feeling lonely. The eldest brother originally planted one and gave him more than a dozen.

The front yard also needs to be remodeled. A mountain grape trellis, which is loved by my niece and elder brother, will be put up against the wall of the west yard next door. The walls including the backyard will be built with blue bricks, and small wild flowers will be planted under the walls. The two side rooms will be made of wood in winter. Grow vegetables on a shelf.

As for the hut where Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin currently live, they need to dig a cellar under the kang that leads directly to the new house to store food. He did it so unnoticed that others thought he was laying a kang, which happened to be guarded by his elder brother in the opposite room.

Although I don’t know if it can be used, can our family be rich enough to hide tens of thousands of kilograms of food? But what if.

The topic was also about what the amber that shopkeeper Lu bought was.

"What's the point of wearing beauty?"

Mrs. Xu knew what amber was and didn't dare to say anything. She only used her hand with a gold ring to pretend to look for shriveled melon seeds in the dustpan and said, "Nothing is as beautiful as gold."

Xu Laoer continued: "Mom, what shopkeeper Guo and the stock exchange department want to book, I'm even more confused when I hear it. It sounds like a tree burr to me. It's the old red pines on the mountain here. The sun is too bright. It is poisonous. It can make people and trees emit oil when exposed to the sun. It drips tree oil all the year round, and the outside of the bark is hard to the touch, and the golden hard oil inside is cut open. I hear it seems like This is what you want to buy.”

The old lady first asked doubtfully: "Those are tree burls. Some of them have thorns on the outside. When we country people find them, they cut them down and keep them for tinder. They make fire and are easy to burn. What does he want with that thing?"

"Milk, I want to buy it, not for nothing. It's a sacred item for Buddhist rituals. It's sold to temples. It's also used for worshiping heaven and ancestors. We have to wait for the second day of the mutual market to confirm whether we will accept the order."

"Emma, ​​then people here didn't take it as a good thing, so I picked it up." The old lady said a little regretfully.

Xu Laoer shook his head: "It's useless to be young."

Dapeng suddenly said: "Second uncle, I know where there are big ones, but the three of us have no road guide. I have seen a few big ones in the large forest that we passed when we ran out of Xishan Town."

Xu Tianxin felt as if he had guessed what he was going to buy it for: "When this big one is polished, it can be used to make a golden table top that exudes oil and amber wood fragrance, or a maroon table top, which is very bright. Even if it is not for making a tabletop, It’s also beautiful as a decoration.”

In modern times, it seems to be called Northern Agarwood.

"San You" and "San Niao" looked at each other silently under the light of red candles. When Xu Laoer came back from his father-in-law's house, and the shop would be less busy at that time, they went to Xishan Town to explore and move home. Several large tree knobs.

It turns out that the news is money. Is this true? If the stock exchange company doesn't accept the order, or if they save more money during the move, they can sell it for money if shopkeeper Guo comes back next year and finds the right one.

"mother."

Mrs. Xu had long seen these boys winking at each other: "Is that possible, deep in the mountains and old forests? The big ones here are like tigers who know martial arts, and the small ones are like foxes who know magic. The middle ones are protected by the court. This It’s true, I don’t dare to eat anything but chicken, duck and goose. I’m also afraid of what you might encounter in the woods. Mom, there are just a few of you. If something happens, where can I buy regret medicine? It’s not like I’m short of food and drink.”

Another point is that this seems to be the Northern Army's business in Jiehu Town.

"What can we encounter? If there are a lot of knots on the big tree, let's go with a large group of people. It happens that no village is as convenient as ours, so Uncle Li Zheng just made a note to go out for fun. Anyway, our brothers will go explore the road first. If he can find the big roc, he can go straight to those trees and don’t mess around. No matter how bad it is, we can just stay at home and make the tabletop."

Don't always stop us.

There is something that "Sanyou" has never dared to say, and their mother is now squeamish about them: "Tian Xin'er, what do you think?" It's always right to ask someone who can read.

"Hoo, ho..." Xu Tianxin was patted by Xu Zhaozhao, and he slept soundly.

On the first day of the new year, early in the morning, the Xu family left the house mostly empty.

Except for Xu Tianxin, whose face was flushed from sleep, and Xiao Nannan, who was lazing beside her, there were children sitting on the kang, laughing steadily. We don't know what she is laughing about.

Yu Qinniang is cooking, so she just takes a moment to look at Xiao Nannan before she falls to the ground.

As for the others, the head of the village.

The old lady and Xu Zhaozhao supported each other, followed by Dayue who was lining up to fetch water.

"Hey, old lady, happy New Year. Why don't you just sit at home and wait for us to go and say New Year greetings?"

"Ah? Have you seen my gold earrings? Hahaha, it was Liangzi and his three brothers who insisted on buying them for me."

"Hey, Zhaodi, no, Zhaozhao can go out too?"

The old lady continued to greet another group of people who came to fetch water: "I just feel sorry for money. Why do you think my daughter-in-law asked my grandsons to buy me gold earrings? We are a farmer, how can we be more beautiful if we wear them or not?" ."

"Old lady, how can you move the water? Put it there quickly. The three of you are no match for one. Let my man deliver it."

"No, the gold earrings were bought from Fucheng, not the Silver House in Xishan Town or the county."

On the Cunjiang River, Xu Youcang and Xu Youyin watched the merchants playing with ice sledges and smoking. Whenever they saw someone taking a break, they asked: "Do you want to drink hot water?"

The copper pot that Xu Youcang was carrying was the kettle with beams that Xu Tianxin bought at a high price and gave to his three uncles as a New Year gift.

It’s quite big and can keep the water warm for most of the day when I’m on the go making deliveries.

Xu Tianxin gave it in a very casual way, just put it in his uncle's room and write a note. If you know the word, you will recognize it. If you don't know it, you will definitely learn it because it was written by her. Sure enough, the three of them spent the whole morning studying the pot excitedly. Where is the hot water? This is the warm-heartedness of my niece.

However, Xu Laoer is not here.

After Xu Laoer finished chopping firewood, he went into the house and said to Yu Qiniang who was cooking: "Xiao Qin, my sleeve has a thread, please help me pull the thread off."

As a result, Yu Qiniang pulled and pulled, and the threads kept coming. Oh my god, my clothes were torn?

Just when she was confused, she pulled out two small black pills.

Yu Qiniang was stunned, why did she look so much like Long Yiwan?

Xu Laoer hurriedly opened the curtain to see if Nannan had fallen off the kang, and if his niece was awake and would hear it. I was ashamed to hear that.

He found that everything was fine, so he hurriedly confessed: "Thank you, wife, for the Dragon Yi Pill. Thank you, wife, for seeing Nai and Niang wearing gold earrings. You still smiled like a little fool. Your husband, I will give you a silver earring sooner or later." But now we have an old man and a young man, so we have to take care of the old and the young first. You wait for me. This year I made two black sesame pills first."

Yu Qiniang blushed with emotion and took a bite of the sesame ball in excitement. She was even more moved when she saw that the inside was yellow: "It looks so similar, husband, why are you so talented."

"That's a must, hehehe, it's made of honey."

At the entrance of the village committee.

Mrs. Xu didn't mind the cold hands. She was using her gold-ringed hands to accept the New Year's Day couplets and twenty taels of silver from shopkeepers Lu and Guo together with Mr. Liu Laozhu.

Twenty taels.

The couplet reads: Outstanding people and spiritual places bring hundreds of blessings, and materials and natural treasures gather thousands of auspicious things.

Mrs. Xu smiled happily and said: "I never expected this, and I was not prepared for it. So on the first day of the new year, on behalf of our village, I wish the two big shopkeepers good luck in spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Of course, the next sentence should be reserved for Li Zheng.

The two big shopkeepers looked at Liu Laozhu. Liu Laozhu was dumbfounded. What's going on? He will not.

Liu Laozhu's younger brother who sells donkeys is probably used to making up jingles for his nephew and saying, "...Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."

Liu Laozhu was so angry, brother, stop talking, you are worse than me. It seems that the ancestral grave of the old Liu family did not have the ability to read.

Someone in the distance suddenly answered: "I meet noble people in the east, west, south and north."

Bai Muyan appeared with a smile and clasped his fists to wish everyone a happy New Year.

Pretty girls, if you have a monthly vote, can you vote? I would like to express my gratitude to everyone with a fist in my hand.
