Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

Chapter 3 Common people don't eat treasures for no reason

Seven secondary medicines, seven taels of silver.It is equivalent to Li Hui's salary for two and a half years.

No wonder people say "don't get sick if you have anything, don't have money if you don't have anything", the old saying does not deceive me.

Leaving the medicine hall, the couple went straight to Mao'er Alley, which is a place in Shushan Town that specializes in selling meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables.Peasant women also come here to exchange eggs for money.

There are many stalls but not many types. From beginning to end, there is one meat stall and two fish stalls.

Shushan Town is close to Songhua River, so the price of fish is very fair.But the price of meat is not good. A catty of pork belly is as high as more than [-] yuan, which is more expensive than when the second senior brother was the most expensive in modern times.

No wonder the ancients had a saying that "common people don't eat precious things for no reason".

At this price, most people really can't afford it.

After asking, I realized that compared with the modern feed pigs that can be slaughtered in a few months, the fastest slaughter here will take three years.

The cost of feeding for three years is not cheap, so the price is naturally expensive.

Many online articles say that pig offal and pig bones are cheap. Compared with pork belly that costs more than a hundred pennies, it is indeed cheap.But dogs with big bones are not willing to chew on it, and they can buy it for ninety yuan a catty, unless there is a hole in their brains.

As for the pigs, they came too late and were sold out early.

After much deliberation, I finally bought fan oil. The meat oil can be used for cooking, and the oil shuttle can be used for stuffing. It kills two birds with one stone.

Thinking of the farming articles she had read, the heroine went to the city to buy, buy, buy.Looking at her now, she can't afford this, and she can't afford that.

Sure enough, if you compare people, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away!
The willow roots at the fish stall are fresh, the fish is not big, ten cents a catty, cheap.Go back to stew or deep-fry, it's all right.

I asked for three catties, and if you see silver carp, the price is thirty yuan.I chose the smallest one, weighing five catties, and Tiedan quit when paying. He grabbed her sleeve and shook his head desperately.

"Mother, willow roots are enough, don't buy silver carp, it's expensive."

The child's sensibility made her feel sad.

The Li family has money, but all the money is used to see a doctor and take medicine. They have really lost three children over the years.

Kneeling down to look at him, coaxing softly:

"Hey, just this time. You, your sister, and your sister are all exhausted recently, and my mother will give you some supplements. Instead of using the money to see a doctor and take medicine, it's better to eat some good food to strengthen your body."

"But mother..."

"Don't worry about it, little baby. Your mother is right. We have money for medical treatment and medicine. How nice it is for us to eat fish." The fishmonger was afraid that the business would be ruined, so he tried to persuade him, "Sister, don't let go of this fish. Just stew it dry, it tastes old. Wait for the second meal before adding tofu, vermicelli, and Chinese cabbage."

Cheng Xue smiled and counted the money to pay the bill, but Tie Dan saw that there was no way to stop her, so she could only take the things.Even though he is only six years old, he has strong hands, and he can carry eight catties easily.

"Mother, let's find a car and go home. Grandpa Langzhong said that mother should not be tired."

Tie Dan always keeps the doctor's advice in mind.Although he is picky, he is very generous to his mother and family.

There are two sugar stalls next to the rental car. After asking the price, only pumpkin candy is cheap.I paid for five taels, and Tie Dan's mouth was pouted very high, and I could hang two taels of oil bottles by visual inspection.

Cheng Xue smiled and poked his forehead lightly.

"You, just pick like that? You can't bear it at all? After breakfast, you went to the ground to collect firewood with your sister, and then walked to town with me, aren't you hungry?"

"Why aren't you hungry!" Tiedan smacked the candy in his mouth, and Buyi said, "Go home and eat when you're hungry, you can get there soon by car, there's no need to buy candy."

"Okay, let's not take this as an example." Cheng Xue finished eating a piece of candy and stopped explaining.

Sugar is not sweet, not worth the price, but better than nothing.

Except for the period of spring plowing and autumn harvest, Wanghe Village eats three meals, and the rest eats two meals.She was also worried about hypoglycemia in this pair, so she bought it.

Two miles away, the car is very fast.But the road conditions are not good, and people who are bumped feel sick to their stomachs.

From a long distance away, she saw a lot of village women gathering under the willow tree at the head of the village. Cheng Xue didn't want to be conspicuous, so she added a copper coin to the coachman and asked to enter the village from the west.

Money is easy to do, the coachman not only happily detoured, but also helped move things into the house before leaving.

When Cheng Xue entered the room and saw Erya and Sidan sleeping on the kang, she put away the remaining money and tiptoed out.

Outside the house, Tie Dan had already told Da Ya in detail what the doctor had ordered.

"...Sister, I will help you with things in the future, so that our mother can rest well. Don't limit it to two months, let my mother raise her until the spring of next year, until she is ready."

Listen, this is her leather jacket, it's so windproof!

"Girl, where's your father?"

"Father went out after waking up, said to go around, and walked away for a while. Mother drank porridge, and Sidan drank the rice soup. It was thick and fragrant."

Cheng Xue took the bowl, and Da Ya started to work aside.

Wash the suet, cut it into pieces, ignite the fire, and put it into the pot.Take advantage of this time to clean up the fish, and don't forget to stare at the cauldron during the period.

In the modern age, nine years old would be in the second or third grade, but the maturity shown at this moment far exceeds this age.

Cheng Xue felt distressed, so she opened the sugar packet she brought back, stuffed one into her mouth, put the rest into the bowl shelf, and continued to drink the porridge.

She didn't stay in the outhouse too long, she was too tired.Go into the house and go to the kang, lie down next to two children, close your eyes and rest.

In a daze, Tie Dan's piercing voice came——

"No, don't move, this is my house."

"Tie Dan, don't look for it. This is the family food that your mother promised to study and teach our Li's children. Get out of the way."

"Uncle Wang Chuan, Uncle Qing Chuan, even if my mother agrees, we have to wait until my mother wakes up." Da Ya also helped stop them.

Li Qingchuan waved his hand and reprimanded impatiently:

"What can I do when I wake up, I have to move if I have to! Get out of the way quickly, don't get in the way."

"Where's the beard? It's reasonable to move people's food?"

Cheng Xue, who was anxious to put on her shoes in the room, stopped when the steady and magnetic voice came.This voice belonged to Li Hui, but the Li Hui in the memory of the original owner would not speak so confidently.

"Huizi, what do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word?"

"Brother Qingchuan, you can't, Huizi is not that kind of person. He is a student, a child, and he promises everything he says."

Li Hui looked at the red-faced and white-faced people who were cooperating, and sneered "hehe".

"Don't put a hat on me, I can't afford it. At the beginning, I paid the family food because I was studying in the family school. Now I don't study it, and my son doesn't study the family school either. Why do my family still have to pay the family food?"

"This..." Li Wangchuan was at a loss for words, not knowing how to continue.

Li Qingchuan didn't care about that, relying on his lineage with the patriarch, he waved his hand——

"Your family has a lot of land, so whoever you don't pay it to! Besides, it was your daughter-in-law who made the appointment with the second uncle, and you want to hang it up? Who doesn't know that your hen, Sichen, don't put it here and pretend to be a wolf with a big tail!"

Cheng Xue, who was listening in the room, scolded the original owner at the moment.If it weren't for her indulgence, the appetite of the clan would not be so big.

The Li family in Wanghe Village is a common surname, and there is a school in the clan.The children of the Li family do not need to study, they only pay the family rations.

Li Huizhong didn't study ethnology after he was born. The patriarch came to the house under the banner of "I can't write two Lis in one stroke". , What a good virgin!
