Chapter 13

Qin Yao divided a pot of soup into five bowls as usual, ensuring that each person had three or four pieces of egg drop in their bowl.

The taro has been roasted, and it is buried in the fire in advance when cooking. The dish is ready and the taro is cooked.

Qin Yao fried the remaining half handful of green vegetables with a little oil from yesterday. It was a small bowl, but it looked green and very appetizing.

This food with oil and salt is different. Qin Yao said: "Let's eat." Apart from the sound of eating, there was no other sound in the room.

After dinner, Da Lang consciously packed up the dishes and took them to wash.

Qin Yao moved the straw rope to the door, and continued to weave the straw sandals by the light of the torch at the door.

The children in the family are licking the oily foam at the corners of their mouths, actively doing what they can do, and looking forward to having such a good meal tomorrow.

With the encouragement brought by food, everyone is full of energy.

In the morning, Qin Yao took Dalang Erlang up the mountain to chop firewood and store up firewood.

At noon, I knitted straw sandals at home. In the afternoon, when people in the village returned home from their busy work, they took the straw sandals to the village well and set up a stall to sell them.

I went to Nanshan alone every two days, dug enough taro for three days and came back. The rest of the time was either weaving straw sandals or selling straw sandals.

The first batch of people to buy straw sandals found that the straw sandals made by Qin Yao were easy to wear and strong. They also wanted to buy a pair for their families. Because the shoe size was not suitable, they placed several orders.

Thanks to Qin Yao's strength, the straw ropes she weaves are tighter and more controllable than ordinary people's, and the straw sandals she weaves use more materials and are more solid than others.

Shopkeeper Liu took the four pairs of straw sandals that Qin Yao entrusted him to sell to the town to sell, and the sharp-eyed farmer bought two pairs at once and took them home.

A pair cost five cents, and the salesman Liu earned half of it. He actively promoted the remaining two pairs and sold them quickly.

Those who haven't bought it ask him when he will come again, and they want it too.

As a result, Qin Yao got another order for five pairs of straw sandals for both men and women from Liu Merchant, and settled the payment for the previous four pairs of straw sandals, which was a total of ten coins.

In the past two days, the sales in the village were not bad. A total of 36 pairs were sold and [-] cash were earned.

Including the ten coins this time and the five coins left before, Qin Yao now has a total of 51 copper coins in his hand.

51 articles, it seems like a lot, but you can't even buy a thin quilt.

Qin Yao should have been happy that Shopkeeper Liu had opened up the market, but the fact is that the raw materials left in her hands are only enough for the ten pairs of orders.

Give the goods first and then settle the money, and you have to wait for Shopkeeper Liu to sell it first before paying her.

From Liujia Village to the nearest Jinshi Town, the footsteps are fast, and it takes three hours to go back and forth. If she takes it to the town to sell it by herself, it will be a waste of a day's work.

The balance of the two phases can only allow people to make more money.

After sending Merchant Liu away, Qin Yao ordered six Wen coins and handed it to Erlang, "Buddler Liu is back, you go to his house to buy two catties of brown rice and come back."

Can the food be improved again? !

The eyes of the four brothers and sisters looked over in unison, full of anticipation.

Erlang took the money excitedly, and was about to run towards Liu's house.

"Stop!" Qin Yao shouted.

You didn't even take the clay pot, so you want to take the rice back with your hands?

After giving Da Lang a wink, Da Lang quickly picked out one of the clay pots filled with water and handed it to his younger brother.

In the end, she was still a little worried. She looked back at Qin Yao and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, can I go with Erlang?"

Qin Yao waved her hand, "Go and come back quickly."

Sanlang and Siniang sat on the small wooden pier used by Qin Yao to chop firewood. They held their chins in their hands and looked at the backs of their brothers as they left, licking the corners of their mouths in anticipation.

The two of them are young and look even younger. Qin Yao doesn't let them work because she wants to take good care of the two little ones.

If conditions permit, both Dalang and Erlang should take good care of them, but there is no way, the conditions are completely unacceptable now.

Thanks to these two little helpers in the past few days, her eyes were not dimmed, and she didn't have anyone to ask if she wanted to do something.

Da Lang and Er Lang quickly bought the brown rice, and the two brothers rushed home excitedly. They had eaten their fill with Qin Yao for the past few days, and their complexions improved a lot.

When Liu Bai led his son Jinbao back from the fields, he saw the two brothers running towards each other, and he was a little afraid to recognize them.

He tentatively called out: "Dalang, Erlang?"

The two boys stopped walking and turned to look over. Erlang even tightened the clay pot in his arms, looking vigilant.

Seeing that it was the uncle, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bai came over, and Fox asked, "What are you two doing? It's going to rain in two days, have you finished planting the wheat at home?"

The two boys said nothing, looked at him, then looked at Liu Jinbao, turned around, and ran away.

Liu Bai sighed helplessly, and wanted to take care of these two poor nephews, but seeing the two brothers' silent expressions, he felt that his hot face was against his cold buttocks, and he was very unhappy.

Forget it, let them go, their own parents don't care!

Liu Jinbao asked: "Dad, we don't have to go to the fields tomorrow, right?"

Liu Bai hummed: "I'm not going, I've finished planting. I've been busy for a while, so I can take a breather."

Liu Jinbao was overjoyed, finally he didn't have to go to the ground!
The father and son worked in the field for a day. Although Liu Jinbao only helped and his father was the main laborer, for an eight-year-old child, this day's physical exertion was also very serious.

The two returned home hungry. The women were just preparing the food. Old man Liu, Liu Zhong and Liu Fei, who had gone to another field, came in later. Without any words, the whole family picked up their rice bowls and started eating.

While eating, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Seeing this person, everyone in the Liu family was surprised.

Standing at the door, Qin Yao pushed Dalang and Erlang who were hiding behind them out, patted the two brothers on the back, "Call someone."

The two brothers were forced to call people, grandma, grandma, uncle, uncle, second uncle, second uncle, brother-in-law, brother Jinbao, sister Jinhua, all at once.

All the members of the Liu family who were eating in the courtyard came to their senses and stood up in unison.

Mrs. Zhang tentatively asked: "The old three's, have you eaten?"

Qin Yao replied: "Eat."

As soon as the words fell, a burst of relief was heard immediately.

Not just for dinner.

Qin Yao also matched the names of all the unfamiliar faces in the courtyard.

The short one with the round face is the eldest sister-in-law He Shi, and the tall one with the pointed face is the second sister-in-law Qiu Shi.

The middle-aged woman who asked the question just now should be her mother-in-law Zhang.

Qin Yao led the two children in, and smiled at the people at the dinner table, "Everyone continue to eat, don't worry about me, I'll talk to my parents, and then leave."

The second elder was excited, and the third elder finally remembered to borrow money to redeem him?

The second elder pretended to be confused, motioned the family to continue eating, and asked Qin Yao, mother and son, to enter the main room.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao's first words were: "I want to buy two acres of wheat seeds from you."

The second elder Qi Qi was stunned: the third is not saved?
