A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 82
Zhao Mu's grandfather was a general, but his father was a scholar of reading. It is not surprising that he can read Li Xi, but now he can read a contract so smoothly. Congestion is really very useful, and I think it will recover soon.

"You two are very unexpected." It is rare for a countryman to be able to read a few words. What's more, the two of them have some skills. Among other things, they can cultivate excellent vegetable seeds. It can make people look higher.

"Know a few words, don't want to be the number one scholar, as long as you can be sensible." Li Xi said very politely.

"Humble." Huaisong smiled. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Thinking that his Huai family could firmly grasp the "food" industry with these high-quality vegetables in the future made him feel excited. The title, for business, naturally wants to be closer.

In this way, the contract was negotiated in duplicate. Li Xi and Zhao Mu signed the contract and pressed their fingerprints respectively. Look at the three names on the contract. Compare Zhao Mu with his own and Huai Song's. I can only say that sure enough, the big family is different, the handwriting is beautiful, look at my dog ​​crawling handwriting, and Zhao Mu's dog gnawing handwriting, should I say that they are half a catty?
"In three days, I will ask shopkeeper Bai to send you fifty catties of vegetables. I hope Miss Li will not disappoint me." Huaisong said before leaving.

Fifty catties is an experiment first, Li Ximing nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Huai, you can try it carefully after the first batch of vegetables come out."

"This is the deposit." Zhang Jie took out a money bag and handed it over.

Li Xi unceremoniously took the money bag and looked at it, it turned out to be ten taels of silver. Suddenly, he felt a little unreal. He now has a total of three taels of money, except for Zhao Mu's original few hundred coins, everything else was exhausted. For more than a month, I went to the mountain with Zhao Mu every day to cheat and fall into the trap, and now I have ten taels of money in my account. It really takes no effort to get this money. Worry.

After accepting the money with an unchanged expression, Li Xi and Zhao Mu left after several courtesies with Huai Song and the others.

"Ah Mu." The smirk on the corner of Li Xi's mouth finally couldn't hold back as he walked on the road.

"Xi'er?" Zhao Mu looked at her.

"We have money, let's go, let's buy some vegetables and go back home, and cook delicious food for you." Li Xi felt that he was considered a "big money" now, and it was time to improve his food and life, so he took Zhao Mu there first. The tailor shop chose two pieces of clothes for both of them, but even if they were rich, they still bought coarse cloth clothes, and each of the cotton and brocade clothes cost one or two taels of silver, so she couldn't bear it.

After leaving the clothing store, Li Xi suddenly remembered that the silk thread he brought back from the cloth store last time said he needed to tie it, but because the village head and the third aunt's family had a happy event, it was delayed and he never remembered it. The little brother in the cloth shop said that there is no time limit, otherwise it would be bad.

With the money to eat, Li Xi did not treat badly. He bought a few catties of eggs and white noodles and asked for a few catties of big bone soup at the butcher shop. Luckily, the eggs were more expensive than white noodles. A catty cost [-] Wen to catch up with the price of rice. , is more expensive than ordinary brown rice, and big bones are the cheapest. No one knows the value of bones yet. In fact, Li Xi, the prey caught in the trap, will kill a few from time to time. Look at the relationship between her and Zhao Mu now. His complexion and blood are very good.

In the end, I bought a few catties of red dates, red beans, and brown sugar in the grain store. I am a little embarrassed to talk about Li Xi. Li Xier is 15 years old. She just had her period last year. When she came, she had unbearable abdominal pain. Greedy and tired, and Qian didn't care about the taboos of her daughter's family. When she came to menstruation, she would do all the housework and clothes. It was winter at that time, and all the laundry at home was on the other side of the river. , It is conceivable how cold the river is in winter.

Later, Li Xi'er's menstruation was not normal, either 30 days, 35 days, or more than ten days later, and every time it came, it was accompanied by pain, which tortured her so that she couldn't sleep well. , It’s been almost two months since I came here. Her menstruation has never come, but it’s about the same. Thinking about the pain, she should warm up the palace first. If it doesn’t work, go to the doctor to take medicine. Think about it For the smell of Chinese medicine, let's take a reprieve first.

Li Xi opened a few ridges of vegetable fields behind the house and bought a few packets of vegetable seeds to plant. Now she is a bit free. If there is no accident in the future, she will continue to cooperate with Mr. Huai. When the time comes, her income will be stable and her family life will be stable. The better it is, the better. In this case, there will be no more traps, and it will not be no more than digging a few traps. The prey won are not all packaged and sold, but kept for the family to eat.

Her small body is 15 years old and looks like a bean sprouts. The front is flat and the back is not warped. As a woman, it is unbearable. It must not be poached eggs, it is really important.

And don't look at Zhao Mu's tall and burly man, these two years of unexamined life, suffered a lot and lost a lot of money, Li Xi also wanted to make up for him, the prey pheasant that he eats every day is stewed, and the rabbit Circle it, and sell it when you have time. The hare meat is a bit old, and Li Xi doesn't like it very much.

I picked big red hawthorn and wolfberry from the mountains and came back to stew with black-bone chicken with red dates. The black-bone chicken was bought in the village.

"Sister Xi'er, what delicious food are you doing?" A young woman walked into the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law Dahai, what's the matter with you?" When she stepped out of the kitchen, she turned out to be Wang Shi, the newly married daughter-in-law of the third aunt's family.

There was a basket on Wang's arm: "Mother told me to go to your house to pick some small green vegetables and go back to cook."

"Oh, sister-in-law, do you want me to help you?" Li Xi said.

"No, no, I'll do it myself." Mrs. Wang quickly shook her head, glanced at the kitchen of Li Xi's house, and said, "I can smell the fragrance from a long distance away, my sister is making soup."

Li Xi didn't hide it either: "I'm not sure about my childhood, so I don't want to make some nourishing soup."

"Is that so? I'm not sure. How did you stew it so that the herbs are so fragrant?" Wang asked curiously.

"There are no medicinal materials, just hawthorn, wolfberry, red dates, and half a black-bone chicken stewed together." Wang said that several of them are delicious, and Li Xi is a little uncomfortable. Does she want to order them all, but this is for nourishing the body. Not so good.

Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Sister Xi'er, you are spending too much, the black-bone chicken is so expensive, and what else are good things like goji berries and red dates, it's not so good to eat during confinement. What to do." In fact, what she wanted to say was that Li Xi was too prodigal.

"Our daughter's confinement period is not very comfortable, just boil some brown sugar water." Mrs. Wang herself feels sorry for Li Xi, but it is black-bone chicken and red dates, which is not eaten by ordinary people during confinement.

Li Xi's black line, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she just looked at it because Wang is the third aunt's daughter-in-law, she hasn't said anything yet, she is cooking soup at home, it's none of her business, it is necessary to show her distress It looks like I want to eat her home.
