The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 42
As far as she is concerned, she is still a princess, although she is a cold palace.

That kid, looking at his downcast appearance, I don't know whether it's bragging or the truth. Even if it's true, if it's like this, the famous family probably won't be too good.

Shen Sisi didn't care, went into the kitchen, ordered Dabao to wash the pots and bowls, Dabao was honest, he cleaned the pots and bowls like an old cow, and saw that the time was about, Shen Sisi took Dabao to I went to the house of Butcher Zheng at the head of the village.

Butcher Zheng laughed as soon as he saw them. Now, no one in the village knows that the Zhong family has money in their hands. They got 18 taels yesterday, plus the chestnuts sold during this period, and the fields that are being sold today, 20 taels , His family has at least 40 taels now, and he is happy when he thinks that their family eats meat every day during this period of time. He was rich, but he couldn't buy meat if he wanted to eat it, so he laughed even more happily.

"Dabao, Tu Niu, are you here to buy meat?" Butcher Zheng fiddled with the meat on the chopping board, and said with a smile, "There is still good fat meat, look, this one is worth eighteen cents a catty, why not?" Sample?!"

It's already noon now, and it's not the time of the New Year's Eve. Meat is not easy to sell. After all, there are few people who eat meat every day. When he kills a pig, he often has to pick it up and sell it in other villages to sell it. The villages are far apart, and they are heavy, and they are afraid of damage if they don't sell them, so they are very tiring.At this time, it is even more hard to sell, only hoping to sell a catty for a catty.

Tu Niu smiled and said, "Uncle Zheng, how much meat can you sell in a day?!"

Butcher Zheng frowned and sighed: "It's not easy to sell now, it's not the New Year's Eve, and it's hot. I'm exhausted from running, so I can barely sell the meat. What can I do if I don't run? The meat is spoiled..."

Shen Sisi smiled and said, "Uncle Zheng, I buy at least twenty catties a day, can you give me a decent price?!"

Butcher Zheng's eyes lit up, and then he said suspiciously: "Your family buys it every day? Twenty catties of meat, what are you doing?! How many people can't eat it..."

"We are in business..." Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Uncle Zheng, don't worry about it, just say you give a price. If it is a real price, we will buy it at your house. If it is expensive, we will buy it at your house." Don’t be afraid to run far, it’s the same to go to the county to buy…”

Butcher Zheng smiled and said, "What kind of business are you doing?! Does your father agree?!" After all, seeing her as a child is still uneasy.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, of course my father agrees, I didn't sell chestnuts a while ago..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

Butcher Zheng smiled and said: "You are also a caring girl. You know that you have made money for the family. Your parents are really lucky. They are both from the same village. I don't call false prices. You can do it right away. Don't bargain. Well, I really can’t take it anymore, if you have at least twenty catties a day, and at least fifteen cash, what do you think..."

Butcher Zheng was also apprehensive, so he anxiously looked at Shen Sisi.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Uncle Zheng is really sincere, I won't bargain, but it would be great if he could give us a few bones and cheaper pig offal every day..."

Butcher Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's no problem, anyway, no one is willing to buy and eat these, no matter how cheap they are, they are not easy to sell. Alas, it's okay if I post them to you, but you must buy them from me." Ah, I can't run away..."

In fact, the bones and internal organs are not worth a lot of money. Butcher Zheng doesn't care. In the past, people bought bones and internal organs that cost half a catty. It's [-] catties, even if I give it all to their family, it's nothing, so he readily agreed, just afraid that their family won't buy it from him.

"Of course, people in a village don't look up and look down. Uncle Zheng won't break his promise, and I certainly won't break his promise..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "Uncle Zheng, look at the one you picked here, give me two Ten catties..."

Butcher Zheng's eyes lit up, and he picked out the best meat with vigor, and said, "This is the best streaky pork, girl, Uncle Zheng won't cheat you, you can rest assured..."

Shen Sisi watched as he weighed twenty catties, and added some bones and viscera before letting Dabao carry it away. She paid the money and said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, leave us good meat every day... I will ask Dabao to come and get it every day."

"Success..." Butcher Zheng held the money, squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's a matter of one sentence, don't worry, it's definitely the best meat..."

Seeing Shen Sisi and Dabao walk away, he counted the money in his hand and muttered, "What is the Zhong family doing?! Business?!"

Monk Erzhang couldn't figure it out, and he didn't worry about it any more. Anyway, he would know what business the Zhong family was doing in the future.Thinking about it, he happily put away the whole three hundred wen. In this way, he can save some walking every day to sell meat, and only walk to a few nearby villages.

After returning home, He Axiu had baked the pancakes, cooked some porridge, fried a few side dishes in the backyard, and steamed an eggplant. Shen Sisi boiled the bones, and then began to eat, so There are a lot of pig offal, but she is not in a hurry, she can marinate it with pork in the afternoon and eat it at night.

After the whole family gathered around the table and finished eating, and the bone soup was ready, Shen Sisi asked Er Bao and San Bao to bring soup and porridge for Si Bao to eat.

Sibao was itching in deep contemplation, but he was relieved when he saw that the second treasure and the third treasure came in. Anyway, he gritted his teeth when he saw that girl, and ate the bone soup in the bowl bitterly, thinking depressingly, anyway. Everything has to be counted into the account, so it is better to eat more, not to eat for nothing.

After washing the dishes, Dabao started to help Shen Sisi to marinate the meat.

Seeing that he couldn't help much, Zhong Gensheng said, "I'll go up the mountain and see if I'm lucky enough to catch a rabbit and game..."

"Be careful, don't go into the deep mountains..." He Axiu said.

Zhong Gensheng nodded and entered the mountain with a bow and arrow.

He Axiu couldn't help much, so she went to hunt pigweed. The family was busy now, and the four treasures needed someone to take care of them, but there was no one to feed the chickens and pigs at home.

The second treasure and the third treasure are almost holding the book and refuse to put it away, and they don't know the taste of food.He Axiu was both happy and worried when she saw it. She heard that some people read the book and read it to their brains, but she didn't know if it was true or not.However, it is a good thing for the second treasure and the third treasure, which shows that they can read it well, but Dabao is not interested in the book. He Axiu thought about it and was worried. To be honest, just like Zhong Gensheng, he was also bullied in the village.

At this time, Shen Sisi looked at Dabao and was also thinking about this question. This Dabao basically never had any objections to his work, but he was not good at practicing calligraphy or endorsement.

Shen Sisi was melancholy for a while, no matter what, let him learn to do the accounting, but even if it is to do the accounting, he must be able to do the accounting, and he must read, she gritted her teeth, even if it is pressing him, she must let him If you have learned it, you don't believe that he is a pig brain and really can't learn it. If he can't learn it for a while, it will only be a hundred times.

The marinade is ready-made, and Shen Sisi put some seasonings into the marinade, added water, and started to simmer on a low heat. Slowly, a strong fragrance wafted from the courtyard of Zhong's house. , the smell is stronger, and the whole village of Yin can smell it.

Shen Sisi began to adjust the dipping sauce again, while thinking about how to let customers take it away. The lotus leaves have been lost in this season. It seems that I have to buy some oil paper when I go to the city tomorrow. After thinking about it, I asked Dabao to weave some long and thin Straw rope, good for packing tomorrow.

Tian Guihua smelled the scent wafting from Zhong's house, feeling jealous and hated, and a little bit envious, she pouted and said: "I only got a few dozen taels of silver and I eat meat every day, hum, if I continue to eat like this, I have to eat it." poverty……"

Niu Laogen frowned and looked at her and said, "Eat your meal, you talk a lot..."

Tian Guihua glared at him, feeling more and more unpalatable for this tasteless and oily dish, and her heart ached when she thought of the 18 taels of silver. The key point is to wait until next year to sell chestnuts, and she was so sad that she couldn't eat for a while.

She sighed and thought about how to make more money, always wanted to make that money back, but she had no idea for a while, it would be great if there were chestnuts all the time, but unfortunately this thing is a seasonal food.

As soon as she turned her eyes, she turned her gaze to Niu Xiaohua. Niu Xiaohua's scalp became numb from her gaze, and her hand holding the soup bowl was a little unsteady.

For this little daughter, Tian Guihua has always disliked her. She is an old woman, and it is reasonable to say that she should be in pain, but because giving birth to her hurts her body, Tian Guihua has always been dissatisfied with her. Much more disliked, but because of Niu Laogen, he didn't dare to scold her.

She looked and looked, and said: "Lao Gen, Xiaohua is not young anymore, she is 12 years old, I think it should be her family, I have to choose a family with better conditions, and I can ask for more gift money... "

Niu Laogen nodded and said: "That's right, if the conditions are good, Xiaohua won't suffer when she gets married."

Niu Laogen was careless, he didn't know how to do it, so he just nodded his head, besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with marrying from a high family.

But Niu Xiaohua's mouth was bitter.What kind of people are in better condition! ?If someone who is too rich is married, then they will be looked down upon for nothing, and since my mother is such a person, she will have a hard time living in the future...

Niu Xiaohua burst into tears in a moment of urgency, mother is trying to sell her rhythm, just spent 18 taels, and she actually got her idea...

At this moment, she didn't even have anyone to complain about, her hands trembled for a moment, she just felt that the future was bleak, and even the light in her eyes was extinguished. If there was no hope, what should she do? !

Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi got a lot of pennies because they followed the local girls. They didn't have much money, so they didn't underestimate the money. They didn't expect to pick up so many chestnuts. Quite a lot, now I feel very happy every time I touch the money on the bedside, but unfortunately, my parents found out soon, and finally most of them were confiscated, and everyone only had a few pennies left. As for Sapo, the parents didn't return them, and even provoked a whip for nothing.

After two days of quarrel, I didn’t dare to quarrel anymore. My heart aches for money, and my body hurts. I don’t even have the mind to fish for fish and shrimp like before. After suffering, I have no chestnuts to pick up again. I made money a while ago with all my strength , Now I feel distressed as soon as I rest, and all the money has been confiscated. I feel really miserable.

So, they came to look for Tu Niu again. Although they were exploited, at least there was a way to make money. Now they really believed that Tu Niu had a way to make them money.It's better than being idle and panicking in the village.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the yard, they smelled a strong smell of meat. For a while, they were all shocked, and for a while, they remembered the pork blood cooked by a local girl at Zhong's house some time ago, and their mouths watered Just straight up, one by one quickly rushed into the yard, shouting: "...Tunnie? What are you cooking?!"

When Shen Sisi saw them, his head was covered with black lines, and seeing them all drooling, he was speechless, especially the eyes, which were completely no different from the dogs at the door.

Those dogs are also very shrewd now. They stayed outside the yard for a long time, and they are so smart that they know that the meat stewed by a local girl. Whenever they see her, they shake their heads and wag their tails to please her. They are much more enthusiastic than the three brothers. Now Seeing that Er Gouzi and the others seem to be similar, their expressions are really indescribably subtle.
