How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 21 Returning Home with Full Gains

Wealth is not revealed in vain.Chen Yixuan didn't want others to see the meat and other things on the street.

Several boys named Chen Xiaoyi helped him carry part of it, but he hesitated and still did not sell the gold-plated ring that his mother left for him.

When the four father and son returned home, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.Several people were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they were panicking.

Chen Feiyan was very happy when she saw that they were finally back, and quickly served them warm porridge for them to eat.

"Come on, come on, are you hungry? Eat your food quickly."

Chen Yixuan ate very quickly and finished the porridge in a few seconds.After eating half full, he wiped his mouth and took out everything from the four backpacks.

In this backpack, he saw a set of old clothes he bought at a pawn shop with his own money today, a pair of new shoes, two kilograms of meat and two kilograms of apples.

The other baskets contained more than 10 kilograms of fat and thin pork belly and two kilograms of pig head meat that his aunt had asked for.A few snacks.There are also a few clothes that are old and not new.

When Chen Feiyan saw so much meat, her eyes widened and she asked, "How did you get so many things? Have you met your aunt?"

Chen Yixuan nodded, "Yes, I saw it."

"Today I sold the honeycomb to Tongdetang. The shopkeeper gave me ten cents per catty. The honeycomb was less than 20 catties, so he calculated it for me based on the weight of 20 catties. I got 200 cents at that time. Money. Later I asked someone in a teahouse and spent six cents. I bought a pair of old clothes in a pawn shop for nearly sixty cents. I also spent another thirty-five cents on a pair of new cloth shoes. Later I thought about us. The first time I went to my aunt's house, I would be looked down upon if I went bare-handed and barefoot, so I spent nearly seventy cents on two catties of pork and two catties of mountain fruits."

When Chen Feiyan heard the man in front of her reporting the bill, she nodded.

"How much money do you have left on hand now?"

Chen Yixuan took out a handful of money from the cloth bag and placed it on the small table on the kang.

"There are still eighteen articles."

When Chen Feiyan saw these dozen shiny copper coins that had been touched, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy for ordinary people to save some money!"

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan smiled helplessly.

Chen Feiyan saw that they were very tired, so she stopped nagging them and told them to wash their faces and feet before going to bed. She then started to process the meat at home.

There is a lot of fat on these pork meats, which can be cut into pieces and pressed for oil.

So, Chen Feiyan began to slowly cook the lard residue in a clay pot late at night.

Although she did it secretly, the smell of fragrant lard residue still made everyone in the room wake up hungry.

The six children were all drooling with greed.

Fortunately, it rained heavily outside in the middle of the night. Otherwise, other people in the village would have known that their family could eat meat.

If they find out about this, they will stay up all night and come to his house to steal things.

After Chen Feiyan fried a large bowl of lard, she used half of the lard residue to continue stewing the radish.

Feeling that the few wooden bowls at home were not enough, Chen Feiyan couldn't help but said to Chen Yixuan, who was eating lard dregs beautifully at the moment: "It would be great if our family could build another room. The children are older Now, from now on they are all people who want to have wives. It’s outrageous for them to sleep with us after they have married wives and have children.”

Chen Yixuan fed his daughter some lard residue. Seeing that she was happy with the meal, he also smiled.

"We really need to hurry up about this. I plan to take the kids for a walk in the mountains in a few days. See if I can dig up any herbs or something."

When Chen Feiyan heard the word herbal medicine, she quickly said it. "Isn't that dandelion a herbal medicine? I took advantage of the sun to dry a large piece of it some time ago, which is estimated to be a pound or two. Next time you go to the county town, you can go to Tongde Hall and ask if they want it? If they are willing to sell it, If you have money to buy it, just sell it! Just treat it as if you got it for free."

Chen Yixuan nodded and continued to feed his daughter the lard residue.

When Chen Feiyan saw that he didn't want to eat, she thought about it and said a few words to him. "You can eat this lard yourself! Why feed them?"

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat." Chen Yixuan saw his wife's sudden expression on her face. Although he didn't quite understand why she was suddenly angry, he still nodded and ate the lard crumbs. .

The lard residue was deep-fried until it was crispy, with only a little salt sprinkled on top, and it tasted particularly fragrant.

Chen Yixuan had not eaten so well for a long time, and he ate everything in the bowl without realizing it.

Seeing that the stewed radish was ripe at this moment, Chen Feiyan quickly scooped up a large bowl of lard dregs stewed radish for him and let him eat.

"Eat quickly, you can sleep well after eating it."

The family had an extra meal in the middle of the night, then lay on the warm kang and fell asleep.

The next morning, Chen Feiyan cooked the food herself.

The multigrain porridge was stewed with two tablespoons of lard, and five taels of pig head meat was also put in it.

I always feel that earthen pots are not as useful as iron pots. When Chen Feiyan was drinking porridge, she even murmured to Chen Yixuan.

"It would be great if we had an iron pot at home!"

Chen Yixuan said with a smile, "Iron pots are very expensive. When my grandfather was here, we used to use iron pots. Later, when my father fell ill, my mother sold the iron pots. At that time, it only cost [-] Wen." In fact, if you go buy that iron pot, it will cost you at least one tael of silver..."

It was the first time that Chen Feiyan felt that ironware was so valuable.

An iron pot costs one or two silver. Isn't this too expensive?

Knowing that she couldn't afford such luxury goods now, Chen Feiyan smiled and said: "It's okay not to buy an iron pot, but I'm worried that our only earthen pot will suddenly break out one day. Can’t get anything hot to eat.”

Chen Yixuan looked at the dark earthen jar and nodded.

"Indeed, you have reason to worry. Then next time I go to the county town, if I make money from selling things, I will buy another earthen jar."

Seeing that he agreed to this, Chen Feiyan smiled happily.

When Chen Yixuan and several children, all wearing raincoats, straw hats and backpacks, went out in the storm, Chen Feiyan quickly closed the door and pulled down seven or eight straw curtains to keep out the strong wind and rain.

Through this period of getting along with each other, Chen Feiyan has discovered that Chen Yixuan is a very stubborn man.Much more stubborn than her.

Once he makes up his mind, not even ten cows can pull him back.

She didn't want him to go out with his children on this rainy day, but he insisted on going out.He also kept saying that if he went out and got something good in this weather, the people in the village wouldn't be able to see it.

As long as the people in the village don't know, they won't go to his house and take advantage of them.

Chen Feiyan sat on the kang and began to take a few sets of old clothes, changing styles and sizes.

The lives of rich families are relatively affluent, and the sleeves they make are half a foot wide.She changed it and stuffed some reedgrass into an adult's clothes, and it turned into a thick cotton coat.
