The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 50

"Hmm..." Zhong Gensheng responded, but picked up Shen Sisi and sent him to the back of the room. Shen Sisi was thin and small, hugged in Zhong Gensheng's broad arms, and looked like a five or six-year-old baby. You are pitifully thin, and Zhong Gensheng felt distressed when he saw it, "Tu Niu earns money and keeps it for herself in the future, eat more meat to make up for it, seeing how thin you are..."

"Well, Dad, our family will eat together..." Shen Sisi smiled sweetly, and Zhong Gensheng stroked her yellow hair before going out.

Shen Sisi sat down on the stool depressed, thinking about eating and eating meat all the time, but now he found that he was really too thin, severe malnutrition made him thin, small and shriveled, and his hair was dry and yellow...

Shen Sisi was so entangled, her mother was a master of the harem, and her genes were not bad, but she didn't keep up with the nutrition the day after tomorrow, so she couldn't grow taller, right? !no... no...

Shen Sisi shook her head, and hastily swallowed her unrealistic thoughts. No matter what, she must strengthen her nutrition and resolutely not be a dwarf.

She clenched her fists, but her heart felt weak. She wondered if she could make up for her eight-year-old body? !Thinking of not growing taller in the future, she felt like crying.

Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu were discussing, He Axiu shook his head and said, "I'd rather not have their dowry than this reputation, so what if I want it!? In the end, what the village says is even worse..."

"That's what I mean too..." Zhong Gensheng said helplessly: "It's just that we don't want to marry, otherwise how can our family stay in the village? With Tian Guihua's temperament... Even if she doesn't make trouble, Niu Xiaohua's life, we can't marry her." You can't ignore it..."

He Axiu burst into tears and said: "If I knew it earlier, I would have made Dabao get engaged early. Now it's good...I'd rather he marry one with a bride price. Anyway, the reputation will be better. That Tian osmanthus flower is too much..."

Not to mention that the Zhong family and his wife were very worried, Tian Guihua was also very worried. She was thinking about it at home, and she was so depressed that the old man didn't bring her with her at night. When she saw Niu Laogen coming back, she rushed He stepped forward and said, "What did the Zhong family say?!"

When Niu Laogen saw her, he was furious, "What can I say?! You think you made such a fuss, and people can happily bear this reputation, what else do you want to say?!"

"What?! They mean they don't want to marry?!" Although Tian Guihua was afraid that he would get angry, she still yelled angrily. ..."

"Don't worry about it..." Niu Laogen gritted his teeth and dragged her to the chair, and said angrily: "I even said that I don't want a bride price and a dowry, but she didn't let go. Do you think you will make trouble again, my daughter?" Can you still survive?! Forced marriage, only you can do it, you think no one will watch the fun at night..."

When he heard that Niu Laogen really decided not to give a bride price, but to dowry, Tian Guihua was anxious like a cat scratching his heart, but he didn't jump up because he was worried that Niu Laogen would get angry.

The sky was still dark, Zhong's family members got up, and they didn't bother to light the lamps, so they started cooking breakfast in the dim light.

Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi ran over early in the morning, carrying a few lively fish in their hands, and smiled and said flatteringly: "Tu Niu, we caught this yesterday afternoon, we know you like to eat it, It has been raised until now, I wanted to send it over last night, but it didn't come long ago, hehe, do you like it?!"

Shen Sisi looked at the two of them with a feeling of wagging her tail, she smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm not going to be polite..."

Anyway, she is short of nutrition now, so it is good to eat some fish, besides eating theirs, Shen Sisi has no psychological burden at all, and it is not that she has never eaten before. She used to take food from their mouths, and now they are asking for more from themselves , what is she afraid of? !

Immediately let Dabao go to the stew and she has to wait for the soup.

Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi caught so few fish, and they were not willing to eat any of them. They were all brought here. Now they are drooling, but they swallowed and held back. Although they haven’t eaten fish for a long time, but last time The [-] catties of wild boar meat I shared was a bit addictive, and the family finally had some meat to eat. Although my mother always cut a small piece of meat for each meal and dipped it in the pot, there was oil from deep-fried fat meat. , the taste of the dishes is different, so they are very grateful to Shensi, thinking that they can eat wild boar without her. If there is no Zhong family, even if the wild boar is brought back, it will be divided by the people in the village...

Fish is common, and the villagers occasionally go to the river to catch a few fishes to make tooth sacrifices. The most precious thing is pork. Wild boars are fierce and difficult to hunt. Let alone domestic pigs, which are also raised artificially. It is easy to raise a pig, but you are reluctant to kill it. You have to sell it to Butcher Zheng. Besides, that pig is really not easy to raise, it takes time and effort, and it doesn’t gain much fat. It is truly rare.

At this moment, they watched the Zhong family cooking fish soup with stewed pork on one side. Both of them were drooling, and it was very difficult to move their eyes away, but their noses were no longer under control, and they kept smelling non-stop. .

It costs a penny a catty, if you buy a lot, you will definitely earn a lot. Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi are very greedy and excited, so they came here before dawn and waited.

Seeing their expressions, Shen Sisi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and after cooking the fish soup, he shared some with them, and said with a smile: "Eat more, it's a long way to the city, and you still have to drink and do business. Strength is not enough..."

Er Gouzi and the others are not too polite, just a bowl of fish soup, half a piece of black flour bread, and a little bit of pork offal, the mouth is full of oil, and the eyes are shining, "Tu Niu, what, what is this?" Meat?! Pig offal?! Braised with meat?! It’s delicious and fragrant..."

Shen Sisi only smiled and said: "The smell is made by adding so many spices, can it not be fragrant?!"

The whole family devoured their food, and after dinner, Shen Sisi was ready to set off, but she didn't bring the second and third treasures. She quietly told her: "You are almost ten years old, and it is too late to start at this age, so in the future, apart from family You don’t need to worry about other things except doing some of your own work. Practice the words I teach at home, and then recite them. I will come back to check, and when you have recognised, I will send you to a private school..."

Erbao was a little uneasy, and said: "There are so many jobs at home, can you and Dabao be busy?!"

"Don't worry, there will be Er Gouzi and the others in the future, you just need to concentrate on your studies..." Shen Sisi urged, she now more than doubled the amount she set for them every day, and they had to recognize twenty or so characters a day, which was better than Dabao's. There are a lot more ten words, different expectations, and naturally different tasks.

Both of them were used to being poor, so they couldn't bear to live up to this expectation, they both nodded silently and said, "We must study hard..."

"Good boy, we will bring you delicious food when we come back..." Shen Sisi patted their heads and said: "The foundation of the family will depend on you in the future. If you are admitted to a scholar, the status of the family will be different. At least what is there in the family?" Okay, no one dares to come and snatch it at will..."

They also knew about Mrs. Zheng, and they all nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

Only then did Shen Sisi set off with Dabao Ergouzi Xiaofuzi and Zhong Gensheng.Although there are fifty catties today, Shen Sisi originally planned to set up two stalls, but today is Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi's first time to set up a stall. After thinking about it, twenty catties was very easy to sell yesterday, so we only set up one stall. It's just a matter of spending a little more time thinking about it, besides, it only took an hour to sell the twenty catties yesterday...

Shen Sisi asked Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi to set up the table, and then began to sell. Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi were also very clever, and they barked harder when they heard the doorway.

Shen Sisi's face is familiar here, I ate stewed pork yesterday, the condition of the family is a bit better, I ran over to buy a half a catty when I saw them coming, and even joked that I was addicted to eating, thinking about it Si only secretly smiled.

Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi are quick-witted, both of them are clever, they talk nonsense when they see people, and they see that the condition is better and the clothes are good, so they spare no effort to push a catty two catty for sale, the condition is average Yes, they just push every catty and have a smile on their faces, so the business is really good.

Shen Sisi watched from the sidelines and was only relieved, at least they could still get on the stage.

The fifty catties were sold out in less than two hours. Today's business is better than yesterday. Their braised pork gradually spread in the market. Some people who come out to sell things smell the smell and buy some. Half a catty went back to try the taste, so before noon, it was all sold out, and the faces of the two boys were full of smiles, smiling so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, "Tu Niu, you are really good, this braised pork It’s so easy to sell, I was still nervous when I came here, afraid that it might not be sold..."

"Crow's mouth..." Shen Sisi glared at him, and said, "Let's go, why don't you close the stall soon?!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The two of them had money to earn, so one was motivated, and hurriedly closed the stall, and followed behind Shen Sisi. Even Zhong Gensheng wanted to come over to carry the empty gong frame, but they refused, with a look on their faces. They were all filled with smiles, Shen Sisi didn't bother to talk to them, took two candied haws and went home.

It happened to be lunch time when I arrived home, and He Axiu had already cooked the meal, she was relieved to see them come back, and said, "Are they all sold out?!"

"Auntie, it's all sold out..." Er Gouzi said excitedly, "It's a whole fifty catties, it will be sold out in a while..."

He Axiu smiled and said, "It's good business."

The other boys had been waiting for them to come back at the entrance of the village, and when they saw them coming back, they rushed over immediately, and when they heard that they were sold out, their eyes were shining, and they said, "Take us there tomorrow, Tu Niu? !"

Shen Sisi nodded, and said: "Tomorrow Er Gouzi will set up a stall, and Xiao Fuzi will set up another stall, each selling fifty catties, whoever sells more will get more money, and you two will also have to share the money tomorrow." Bring out a few boys... I will arrange for you to go to the town and other markets in the city in the future..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, seeing that the stewed meat was so easy to sell, and the local girl arranged it like this, and everyone worked hard.

"Okay, today is considered to be an observation. I didn't plan to give you wages, but you work so hard, you can't separate them. It's just that they are sold together today. I don't know who sells more and who sells less. Today, Er Gouzi and Xiao Fuzi will be divided into ten cents each, and in the future, everyone will set up separate stalls to sell, and it will be considered money..."

The boys nodded fiercely, watching Er Gouzi and the others get ten pennies for every trip, they were very greedy. This is ten pennies, and there are three hundred pennies a month, even if the minimum is ten pennies a day, Three months is almost one or two taels of silver, and the landlord's family doesn't have such a lot of wages, not to mention that the local girls plan to expand their business. They will sell more every day in the future.

Doing the math, they might earn more than the adults, which is so exciting. At that time, the boys were so happy that they jumped up and said excitedly: "Tu Niu, Tu Niu, we must do a good job... ..."

Shen Sisi chuckled when he heard the words. Selling meat together may cause inertia like eating a big pot of rice, but each of them will show their own special skills. These children are not simple.
