Chapter 17 The Hare Hunt

Shen Hui didn't know how to answer the conversation, so she could only pretend to be busy and put on pancakes.

Shen Qing didn't want to deal with this, but Wu Juhua obviously said that she was addicted.

"Hey! His father, I suddenly remembered that Wu Laohan in our village is from the same family as me. His mother-in-law died two years ago and has never married. She is only more than ten years older than Hui Yatou. What do you think? "

Cao Dahai didn't want to pay attention to her at all. He was observing the plants in the corner of Shen Qing's farming yard, "Qing'er, what are you doing?"

Shen Qing took a water basin and poured water on it, "This is sweet potato, haven't you seen it?"

Cao Dahai nodded and shook his head again, "I've seen it before, but I haven't seen it done before. I saw someone sell it at the grocery store in the town. It's quite expensive, five yuan a catty!"

Shen Qing smiled and said: "This thing is very easy to grow, it will grow when buried in the ground, and it will form a bunch of sweet potatoes with some fertilizer. When the sweet potato vines come out, pick the tender ones, peel them and fry them to eat. They are crisp and delicious, and they can also be chopped Broken to feed the pigs, I plan to plant two seasons this year, and I will not plant other grains."

Cao Dahai was surprised and said: "You don't plant corn and paddy in these ten acres of land, but you plant it instead. Isn't this nonsense?"

She didn't mess around. "If you don't plant corn, plant some cereals. Just plant them in the fields, in front of and behind the house, and you can harvest a lot. As for sweet potatoes, they are of great use."

"We don't eat many sweet potatoes here. The sweet potatoes in the grocery store can't be sold for more than a few kilograms a month. If you grow so many, do you think they are all used to feed the pigs?" Cao Dahai couldn't figure it out. He just felt that this girl didn't know how to grow. Damn, you still don’t listen to the advice.

Shen Qing knew that he couldn't explain it to him, even the elder sister couldn't understand it, so he just couldn't explain it to her, so he didn't care.

Wu Juhua also scolded her, "Your uncle is right. He has been farming for decades, doesn't he know more than you? You! You are just messing around, Hui Yatou, and you don't talk about her."

Shen Hui was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard her hang herself up, she hurriedly said, "Auntie, Qing'er has a plan in her heart, and I listen to her, it's best if it can be planted, and it's okay if it doesn't, Auntie, come and have a look at this place." How to burn the rabbit."

As soon as Wu Juhua heard about burning rabbits, she went there immediately.

The rabbit skin was skinned by Uncle Huo. He was peeling the rabbit skin in his own yard. The old man's technique was very professional. The skin and flesh were separated with one knife, and the rabbit skin was not damaged at all.

The internal organs were taken out, and as for the intestines, they had to be thrown away.

Shen Qing told Huo Lin to bury all the unwanted internal organs to make fertilizer.

In the kitchen, Shen Hui chopped up two rabbits, cleaned them, and was about to braise them!
Wu Juhua said curiously: "Look at how fat these rabbits are. I'll take two back later and give them to Big Ya and Er Ya to try."

Shen Hui said: "Qing'er has been packed for you. There are three of them in the basket. Go back and pickle them with salt and dry them in the sun. When the farming season is busy, they will be taken out and cut into pieces and steamed in a pot. They are the last meal to eat."

Wu Juhua smiled from ear to ear, "Your mother used to be the best at thinking about food, and you are both like her in this regard."

The smile on Shen Hui's face faded a little. She didn't want to continue this topic, so she said: "Auntie, help me light the fire! I have to cook quickly. I have been busy all morning and everyone is hungry."

After Wu Juhua got into the stove, she added firewood to the stove hole and chatted with her at the same time.

"Hui'er, your mother died unexpectedly. In July and a half of this year, you have to burn some paper for her. Don't let her cause trouble."

"Oh!"

"Hui'er, I heard from your uncle that your father is going to sell you to the Sun family in the town as a concubine. You must not agree to this. I know who Master Sun is best. There is a girl in our village who was sold. I went to the Sun family to be a servant, and I heard that the backyard of the Sun family is a mess, a bunch of messy servants, and one or two corpses are carried out every year. I heard that there are still many miscarriages, tsk tsk... It is estimated that Young Master Sun thought the house was too chaotic and couldn't stay here any longer, so he wanted to buy an outer room in order to make it quiet."

Shen Hui just listened and didn't answer.

Wu Chrysanthemum added two more pieces of firewood to make the fire more vigorous, and continued: "I just told your uncle to find you a nearby house. That old man Wu in our village lives opposite my house. The one you always laugh at, although he is older, older men know both cold and hot, unlike older men who compete with each other..."

Wu Juhua praised Wu Laohan again, and at the end, she also mentioned that he was interested in Shen Hui.

Shen Hui was speechless, she had seen that Wu Laohan when she went to her uncle's house during Chinese New Year.

With a hunched back like a little old man, and a wretched smile, he doesn't look like a good person, how dare my aunt speak.

"I don't want to marry now, and besides, I still have a bet with my father, let's talk about it later!" Shen Hui wanted to interrupt at will.

Wu Juhua said disapprovingly: "What kind of bet is that? I'll go back and tell Wu Laohan to ask him to give away your dowry. It's 200 taels in total. You and Qing'er are 100 taels each. Don't look at him as a bitch." He’s from the land, but he knows how to dig a camp and save a lot of property!”

"Auntie, it's too late!" Shen Hui interrupted her again.

"Oh!" Wu Juhua was so focused on talking that she forgot to add firewood.

In the yard, Cao Dahai and Shen Qing squatted at the gate of the yard talking.

"Qing'er, tell your uncle the truth, what do you plan to earn money on, the ten acres of land, or the dendrobium on the mountain?" He planned to pass this hurdle if he didn't have enough money, and see if he could make up some more. Besides.

Shen Qing looked at the wasteland that had been cut in half, his eyes were clear, "Plant sweet potatoes! I just said that!"

Cao Dahai frowned, "Even if you plant a hundred acres of sweet potatoes, you won't be able to earn 200 taels because you can't sell them!"

Shen Qing chuckled, "Let's plant the first season's sweet potatoes first. Uncle, please catch three piglets from your village."

"Just these chickens and ducks are enough for you to raise. Listen to uncle and don't make the stall too big."

Shen Qing: "Then I'll feed both of them first. I'll finish cutting the grass today, and tomorrow I'll hire someone to build a pig pen, and the day after tomorrow I'll burn the grass to open up wasteland. There aren't many sweet potato seeds in the first season. I heard from Huo Lin that there is a lake downstream of the creek. I guess there must be a lot of fish.”

Cao Dahai thought she wanted to eat fish again, "That's Crescent Lake, with the most silver carp in it, do you want to eat fish?"

"That's not true. I see that there are many merchants coming and going in the town, and there are also many people resting and eating. It's a business opportunity!"

Cao Dahai couldn't understand the meaning of her words, and if he couldn't figure it out, then he didn't think about it, but this rabbit meat was really delicious.

With the addition of vinegar, soy sauce, and wild ginger, the stew tastes delicious, without the smell of earth. When you bite into the sauce, it is wrapped in the smell of meat, soft and rotten.

Cao Dahai sighed that there was no wine, otherwise he would use it to drink, and even a god would not change it.

The Cao couple helped cut grass all day and left in the evening.

Wu Chrysanthemum took away quite a lot of things, and she heard that Dendrobium was a good thing, but seeing that they had a little left, she pretended to take them all away.

If Cao Dahai didn't stop her, she still wanted to steam some steamed buns and take them with her on the way.

In fact, the journey was not far, so she just wanted to take advantage.
