After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 49 It's Snowing (Part [-])

Qin Yao felt that Liu Ji's face should be made of the city wall.

As soon as I heard something delicious, I forced myself to come over.

The main thing is one, I am shameless, so you can't condemn me morally.

When six bowls of fragrant wontons were served, the children's eyes widened.

There are [-] wontons in a bowl with enough meat stuffing. The four Dalang brothers and sisters think that this is better than candied haws.

As long as it is related to meat, they all think it is the best.

With such a big bowl of wontons, Saburo and Siniang ate them all.

Qin Yao took a look and realized that she wouldn't be able to sleep when she went home at night, so she must have held on.

Qin Yao didn't allow the two of them to drink the remaining soup, so she finished it in two gulps.

Liu Ji waited to pick up the leftovers, but he didn't pick up a mouthful of extra soup, which made him feel depressed.

After lunch, Liu Ji was asked to take the children back to the car, while Qin Yao went to buy some new year's goods alone.

I need to add more oil and sauce, and buy twenty kilograms of meat. When the time comes, the fat meat will be boiled in lard, and the lean meat will be frozen outside the house, and I will eat it slowly.

Qin Yao saw that there were people who made bean sprouts and sold them, so she decided to try it herself, so that she could eat one more vegetable in winter.

I bought a piece of red paper, incense candles, two red lanterns, and a bag of fodder to feed the cows.

Qin Yao only had nine taels and five cents left in her pocket.

Going to the city and spending six renminbi is a bit painful to think about.

These ancient things are so expensive, if you don't try to make money, Qin Yao feels that the money in his hand will soon be unsustainable.

It is convenient to have an ox cart, which can carry people as well as goods. When Qin Yao returned the ox cart to the village head's house, he touched and touched the ox, greedy and wanting it.

It's a pity that I can only look at it now, and the money in my pocket doesn't allow it.

The family of six returned home with a full load, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, the gloomy sky suddenly lit up.

Snowing.

White snow particles fell, and soon the ground was covered with a light layer of white, making a rustling sound when walking on it.

The family of six huddled in the main room, grilling the newly raised charcoal basin, and thankfully came back at just the right time.

The snow fell very fast.

Overnight, the earth was covered with a layer of white silver light.

The temperature has dropped sharply, and the real winter has arrived. Every household has stayed behind closed doors to resist the severe cold.

In order to save some firewood, Qin Yao's family only cooks two meals a day. They cook together at noon in the morning and heat it up on a charcoal stove at noon.

There is no condition that every house has a charcoal stove, and the whole family gathers in the main room after getting up.

Five people, father and son, learn characters.

After Qin Yao finished two hundred push-ups, she was thinking about how to make money.

Qin Yao began to recall the time-travel novels she read when she was in school.

How do the heroines who travel through time make money?

It is common to cook food.

Among them, the cost of pigs is low, and they can be sold to make a lot of money if they do anything casually, and the appearance rate is extremely high.

Qin Yao was also a little moved.

But reality slapped her hard!

First, she couldn't buy spices for pig offal.

Spices here are extremely expensive. Star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. are not sold in the entire Kaiyang County.

Only officials and wealthy businessmen can afford it, and they still use private transportation and logistics routes.

Secondly, there are not a thousand people in eight villages for ten miles, and the villages and towns are scattered. The nearest Jinshi Town is a three-hour walk, and there is no mature market at all.

In the small mountain village at the beginning, there is a dead end.

the last point.

Laugh to death!

No one in the whole village can afford to raise pigs, and there are no raw materials!

Pig waste is also meat. The diligent and thrifty working people can even fry grasshoppers and leeches and serve them on the table, let alone just pig waste?

"The pig launching route is abandoned!"

Qin Yao ruthlessly crossed off the option of becoming a pig and making a fortune on the small board.

She went on to think about other delicacies.

Tofu seems to be a good choice.

However, as the saying goes, there are three major hardships in life.

Punting, blacksmithing, grinding tofu!

She didn't know if she could survive it.

Wait, she saw people sprouting bean sprouts in the county seat, so they can also make tofu, right?

Thinking of this, Qin Yao decided to test the children at home.

"Does anyone know what food can be made from soybeans?"

Qin Yao lifted Liu Ji up from the teaching position, sat on it, and asked with a smile.

Erlang responded actively: "I know!"

Qin Yao nodded encouragingly and motioned for him to speak.

Erlang said: "Soybeans can grow bean sprouts, and can also be used to make bean curd and tofu. My aunt will make tofu and sell it in winter. People in the village will trade soybeans with her to take home as a New Year's Eve dish."

Dalang added: "It's hot pot. The tofu and meat stewed in the hot pot are very fragrant."

When his mother was still there, he ate it twice, and the aroma has been remembered to this day.

Qin Yao rubbed the center of her twitching brows, it doesn't matter that the tofu road is broken, there is even hot pot here.

Moreover, there is basically a lot of bartering in the village, and it is normal to exchange more soybeans than raw materials for tofu.

After careful calculation, she might as well continue weaving straw sandals.

Da Lang Erlang looked at the stepmother anxiously, didn't they answer correctly?Why does the stepmother look so dissatisfied?
Qin Yao squeezed out a smile, and gave the two thumbs up, "Congratulations, you got the answer right, but there is only a spiritual award."

The two brothers looked forward to asking: "What is the spirit award?"

Qin Yao gave a thumbs up again, "That's it, top guagua."

The two brothers stood awkwardly, not knowing whether they should smile or not, but it was really difficult to do so.

Qin Yao waved to Liu Ji, "You continue."

Liu Ji took a deep breath, so as not to be pissed off to death, she insisted on making trouble because he was doing well in class!
Qin Yao returned to her seat in the corner and continued to cast down her eyes in thought.

But before she could figure it out, the new year was here.

It had snowed for several days. On New Year's Eve, the sky suddenly cleared up. The snow on the eaves melted and turned into water, falling down and forming ice under the eaves.

The snow stopped, and the children who were detained at home finally regained their freedom and ran out one after another, playing snowball fights, smashing ice, and building snowmen.

It's cold in the house, and it's warmer when you go out for a run, and the parents no longer lock them up to prevent them from going out.

The village head took a few strong boys from the clan and went door to door to count the number of people.

One day after walking down, two old people who were already frozen were lifted out of the low hut with air leakage on all sides.

Wrapped in a straw mat, the young men in the village carried him to a barren mountain, where he was buried in the loess and ended his life.

But compared to last year, only two elderly people froze to death this year, and no children or young people froze to death. This is much better.

In Qin Yao's memory, the Spring Festival is a very lively day, with gongs and drums blaring and joyful.

But due to the lack of supplies, the people of Liujia Village celebrated in a very simple way.

Each family tries their best to make a table of the best meals.

Then the family sits together and finishes the meal, which is considered to be the Chinese New Year.

Those watching lanterns, dragon and lion dances did not appear.

It is good to have a full meal and good weather in the coming year.

As a result, when Qin Yao took out two cut-out blessing characters and pasted them on the gate, the children in the family seemed to be watching something rare.

Only then did I know that the Chinese New Year is like this.
