Reborn farm girl

Chapter 68

The next day, Song Laoer went to the town to sell jelly, and then bought two pairs of pigs and came back.Liuya washed the offal on the spot and sent it to Xiaomei Song.

"Liuya, I really trouble you." Song Xiaomei took the pig from Liuya's hand and said embarrassedly.

"Guy, what's the matter with our family?" Liu Ya waved her hands, expressing her indifference. "This pig is in the water, you have seen my family cook it a few times, so you know how to do it." Song Xiaomei is honest, but she cooks good food.Even though she had never seen her make pork offal, Liuya was confident that the taste of Song Xiaomei's cooking would not be worse than that of He's and the others.

Song Xiaomei nodded in agreement.Seeing this, Liuya said she wanted to go home.Seeing that Liuya was about to leave, Song Xiaomei quickly stopped her, "Liuya, yesterday your uncle brought back two pheasants, you can eat one."

Liuya was not polite, and took the pheasant directly.Because she knew that her little uncle was a good hunter, and she loved her sister-in-law very much.Ever since Song Xiaomei married him, not to mention being able to eat meat every day, she was able to eat meat every other day.

After Liuya left, Song Xiaomei put the pig into the water and went to work.When Li Dazhuang came back from hunting at night, he looked at the two large intestines hanging on the wall and asked, "Second brother, when did they send the large intestines?"

Song Xiaomei took the things from Li Dazhuang's hand and said: "Just after lunch, Liu Ya brought it here. You are hungry, let's eat first."

The young couple ate dinner, and Li Dazhuang helped Song Xiaomei with the housework. The two lay on the bed, chatting for a while. "

"Let's not sell the things I bought today. We keep some at home, and send the rest to the second brother." Li Dazhuang said.

"Well, I'll send it tomorrow." Song Xiaomei nodded.

"The second sister-in-law helped us wash the large intestines. We can't let them do it for nothing. The money we get from selling pigs every day will be given to Liuya and the others." To be honest, Song Lao Er came to him yesterday to talk about this matter. At that time, he disagreed with what was said at that time.But Song Laoer said that he was helping Song Xiaomei, not him, so he had to agree in the end.

Song Xiaomei and he both knew this method of washing pigs into the water, and Song's second family sold them.If word of his family gets out, others will come to make trouble for Song You.Brother Song believed in him, and he was very happy.But he also knew what kind of people the aunts and aunts in his family were like. If he knew that his family knew how to wash the colon, they would definitely make trouble.So, in the end, he asked Song Er Ge's family to wash his colon.In this way, there is no need to worry about the method of washing the large intestine spreading.

"You're right, the second brother and the others are good enough to me, we can't let the second brother and the others work for nothing."

In this way, the couple agreed on Liuya's daily wages.

The next day, Li Dazhuang went to the town with Song Lao Er, selling pig offal, and selling jelly jelly.When he came back that day, Li Dazhuang gave Liuya ten dollars.

"Sister father, what do you mean?" Song Laoer frowned and asked.

"Second brother, my younger sister and I have discussed that we will give Liuya ten dollars a day." Li Dazhuang said honestly. "Second brother, don't shirk it, this is what I discussed with my younger sister. Liuya helps me wash the pigs into the water every day, which is what she deserves." Why did the second son Song give such a lucrative business to him? He, not because he is Li Dazhuang, but because of Song Xiaomei.Song Lao Er wanted to help their young couple, so he did this for them.Li Dazhuang is considered to have received this love.

Since Li Dazhuang said so, Song Lao Er had no choice but to let Liu Ya keep it.Seeing that washing two sets of pig offal every day cost ten cents, Si Ya was very greedy, so she immediately ran to take out the pig offal from Li Dazhuang's back basket to wash.

Seeing Si Ya like this, everyone laughed.

"Siya, you and Liuya are both money lovers." He shook his head and said helplessly.

It didn't take long for Song Xiaomei's family to sell pigs into the water in the town, and the rest of the Song family knew about it.This time, Mrs. Song Zhang didn't say anything, but she didn't appreciate Song Lao Er for helping Song Xiaomei in this way, she just thought it was a matter of course.

Boss Song and the others didn't have much to say, but Mrs. Li found out about Mrs. He, and what they said was all about the water poured out by a married woman. The matter of selling pigs into the water should be left to her. Go sell it with Song Laosan.

He's only ignored Li's complaints, going in one ear and out the other.Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li could only go to her house in a smug manner, and did not dare to make trouble at Liuya's house as before.

Liuya sometimes eats jelly in her mouth, but thinks how comfortable it would be to eat cool watermelon at this time.But this can only be thought about, but it can't be realized, because she asked Song Laoer, and according to Song Laoer, this thing is extremely expensive, and those who can afford watermelon are either rich or expensive.According to Song Laoer, poor people like them have never seen what a watermelon looks like.Hearing what he said, Liu Ya had no intention of saying anything else.You can't ask Song Laoer to do things that can't be done just to satisfy her desire for good food.

The days are hot day by day, Liu Ah trusts in electric fans and air conditioners.During the day, Liu Ya didn't like to move anymore, because when this person moved, the sweat would flow.At night, Liuya couldn't stand the heat, so she wanted to go outside to cool off.

In her previous life, she was also born in a farm family. She remembers that when she was young, the village was relatively backward and there were no one-story buildings.There is a large dam in the village, which is shared by the village. It is said that if it is divided, each person can get one meter of land.

At that time, there were no electric fans, and it was hot at night, so every family moved their mats and cots there to enjoy the cool.One person held a fan in his hand to fan the mosquitoes.

Now there are no cool bed sticks at home, only mats.Before dark, Liu Ya sprinkled some water in the yard, and when the water dried up, spread straw on the ground, and then put the mat on it.Sleeping outside at night, listening to the croaking of frogs, and counting the stars in the sky, I feel that such a day is not bad.

"Ah, when did Brother Xuan come back?" Liuya was teasing Baya when she heard Mrs. He say that Zhang Haoxuan was back, and looked up at the moonlight, it was really him.

It seems like she hasn't seen him for a month. It is said that this kid went out with his father for a long time. As for where he went, she didn't know.

"It's not long since we arrived." Zhang Haoxuan said with a smile.

"You must be very tired just after you came back. Why don't you take a good rest at home?" For this kid from the Zhang family, He and Song's second child both like it very much.Seeing that he came to see them just after he came back, he was very distressed and told him to go home and rest.

"This time, Dad and I brought some watermelons back and asked me to send you two." Zhang Haoxuan raised the watermelon in his hand and said.

"Wow, where did you buy it? I wanted to eat it a long time ago, but I didn't have the chance." As soon as Liuya heard the word watermelon, she left Baya and ran over, took a look at the watermelon in Zhang Haoxuan's hand, It really is watermelon.Watermelon, sweet watermelon, cool watermelon.Although the two watermelons in Zhang Haoxuan's hands didn't look very big, to Liu Ah, as long as there were watermelons to eat, it was all right.

"Brother Xuan, this stuff is too expensive, you can eat it yourself, don't give it to us." Second Song said after looking at the watermelon in Liuya's hand and confirming what the watermelon looked like.

Zhang Haoxuan said with a smile: "Second uncle, you and my father are good brothers, so you don't need to be so polite. And I still have a few watermelons at home, these two are for you to eat."

Song Laoer heard what Zhang Haoxuan said, and Liuya asked her about watermelon a few days ago, knowing that Liuya wanted to eat it, he didn't say much. "It's been so long since you left with your father. It's been a long time since you had a drink with him. You go back and tell him to ask him to drink with me tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll tell my father." Zhang Haoxuan was indeed tired after driving for a few days.After chatting with Song Laoer and the others, they went home.

As soon as Zhang Haoxuan left, Liuya hurriedly went to the stove and took out the knife.

"Liuya, do you know how to eat this watermelon?" Seeing Liuya holding a knife, He asked quickly.

"Mom, I've seen this watermelon in a book and I know how to eat it." Although He and the others know a few words now, except for her, everyone else doesn't like to read, so whenever there is something that can't be explained, Liu Ya will justify it. It's written in a book.

Liuya took the knife, broke through the middle, and cut it in half.This watermelon is already ripe.

"Wow, this watermelon looks like this. It's red inside, and it looks delicious." Siya looked at the broken watermelon and said, Liuya could hear the sound of swallowing saliva beside her.

Liuya smiled, and cut the two halves into several smaller pieces.The whole family handed over a piece, and even Yaya and Liuya cut a thin piece for her. "The book says that the seeds inside the skin are not edible, so we have to be careful when eating." I remember eating watermelon when I was a child, and every time my mother would remind me not to eat the watermelon seeds in my stomach, and said watermelon If the seeds are eaten into the stomach, they will germinate, and then a tree will grow out of the stomach.When I was young, I took this seriously. Every time I ate watermelon, I didn't dare to be careless. It wasn't until I was a little older that I realized that it was my mother who lied to her.

According to what Liuya said, they ate the watermelon cautiously.

"Father, since this watermelon is so expensive, let's just grow watermelons. If our family grows watermelons, it will definitely make a lot of money." Qiya said suddenly.Maybe Qiya stayed with Liuya for a long time, and now she thinks about how to make money in everything she does.

"That's right, if our family grows watermelons, then we can eat as much as we want." Siya's consciousness is not as high as Qiya's. She wanted to grow watermelons and only wanted to eat them.

"Father, can this work? We have never planted it before." He was uncertain.This watermelon is delicious and expensive, but they have never seen others grow it.That means that if you want to grow watermelons, you have to figure it out on your own.

"Why not? Our family grows pumpkins, loofahs, winter melons and bitter gourds every year. They are also melons, so it will definitely work." Si Ya thought very simply.I think they can grow pumpkins, and it is definitely not a problem to grow watermelons.

"Siya, don't talk nonsense. If growing watermelons was as easy as growing pumpkins, this watermelon wouldn't be so expensive." Song Laoer had never read a book, but he still knew that rare things are expensive.The reason why watermelons are so expensive must be because there are so few of them.This is the same reason as he sells pig offal and jelly.If everyone knew how to wash the large intestines and bought the large intestines and made them at home, there would be people who would come to buy his pig offal.

Liuya has eaten countless watermelons, but has never grown them.However, they are very much in favor of Si Ya and the others talking about planting watermelons. "Father, this watermelon is definitely not easy to grow. However, other people can grow it, and I believe that you can also grow it."

"Since you want to plant, then don't keep these watermelon seeds, keep them, and let's try planting some next year." Liu Ya gave Song Lao Er a hat, and Song Lao Er immediately agreed.Just like what Liuya and the others said, this watermelon is planted in the soil anyway, which is similar to growing crops. If he can grow crops, this kind of watermelon must be fine.

"Liuya, break this again." After a while, Siya shouted.In a few strokes, a watermelon was solved.

Knowing that everyone loves to eat, Liuya broke the last one too.The two watermelons were quickly wiped out by the family.

The next day, Song Laoer and Li Dazhuang went to the town to sell things early.After the jelly was sold out, I went to the pork stall to buy two catties of meat and two sets of large intestines, and finally bought a catty of wine before going home.

When he got home, Song Lao Er brought the meat to Mrs. He and asked Mrs. He to clean it up.

"Da Zhuang, don't go back today, just eat at our house. Liu Ya has already gone to tell his aunt just now." Seeing that Li Dazhuang was about to leave, Mrs. He quickly stopped him.

"Understood the second sister-in-law, I'll go back and come later." Li Dazhuang nodded.

Seeing that Li Dazhuang agreed, Mrs. He went to work.Song Lao Er took a short rest and went to the Zhang family to find Zhang Tiezhu.When I went to Zhang's house and saw Liuya and Baya were there, I smiled and said, "I didn't see you girl when I came back, so you two came here."

"Second brother, hurry up and sit down. Liuya came here early today. She said Brother Xuan hasn't taught her to read for a month, and Brother Xuan will make up for it today." Zhang Tiezhu laughed.

"It's the same with you girl. Your elder brother Zhang just came back. He must be very tired. You don't let him have a good rest, and you still pester him to do something. You are just ignorant." Although the second son of Song blamed him, the smile on his face Not at all.

"Second boy, come on, stop praising your girl in front of me. I don't know your virtues, even though you say so, I don't know how proud you are. So I still think that my two daughters are better than you. In the past, the ladies of the master's house were not bad, but when they came back to compare with the six maids of Song Laoer, they felt that their own maids were far behind. Apart from sewing and cooking skills, my daughters have nothing to show for them. .” Zhang Tiezhu complained.

"You got it too. What do you mean there is nothing you can do except needlework and cooking skills? What else do you want to do? I think you are proud of it. You know that my daughter's needlework is not in your family. Well done to the two daughters, you are still here to look down on me."

The two complained to each other right here, and Liuya rolled her eyes while listening.Although the two spoke modestly, Liu Ya still knew a common saying that this child was always her own good.Not wanting to listen to the two people's nonsense anymore, I went to Zhang Haoxuan and asked him what he saw after a month outside.

"Second brother, have you eaten the watermelon I asked Brother Xuan to send yesterday, and what do you think?" Zhang Tiezhu complained for a while before getting down to business.

"I came here to talk to you about this. Last night our family discussed it and thought about planting some watermelons. What do you think?" Song Laoer asked.

Zhang Tiezhu laughed straight: "Second brother, can't you tell? After several months of business, I know how to seize business opportunities. Do you know where Brother Xuan and I have been this month?"

Second Song shook his head.

"Originally when I went out this time, I thought Brother Xuan was getting old, so I wanted to take him out for a walk, to meet people outside, so as not to be less knowledgeable. I accidentally found a farmer. This farmer is not an ordinary farmer. His family planted a piece of watermelon. I know this thing. When I was a servant in the mansion, the master gave me one. Naturally, I also know that this thing is expensive. At that time, I thought, if I can grow it Watermelons must make a lot of money. With this idea, I will not leave. I pretend to be the housekeeper of a big family and contact that family. I say I want to buy watermelons from their family. But this family grows watermelons No matter what I say, I can’t figure out how to grow watermelons, so in the end I had to spend some money and buy some watermelons.” At the end, Zhang Tiezhu was still a little discouraged, thinking that he would make it from a small servant, and finally It has never been difficult for him to be a housekeeper, but this time he encountered a soft nail.

"Hehe, Tie Zhu is not a fool. He is a guy who eats. How could you learn it for nothing. If it were me, I wouldn't tell you." Song Lao Er laughed.

Zhang Tiezhu sighed and said: "I also understand this truth, but if I don't know how to grow watermelons, then what should I grow watermelons with?"

"Uncle Zhang, don't be discouraged. I think planting watermelon is the same as crops. I think no matter what you do, this experience is based on exploration. If we don't succeed in planting in the first year, we will continue planting in the second year. , I will succeed one day." Liuya came out holding Baya, just in time to hear Zhang Tiezhu's words.This human being didn't know anything at the beginning, but it didn't develop in a day.So Liu Ah still has confidence in growing watermelons.

Hearing Liuya's smile, Zhang Tiezhu smiled and said, "It seems that I am really old, it's better for Liuya to think clearly."

"This watermelon will only be planted next year anyway, and we can think about it in one year's time," Song Lao Er said. "Don't talk too much, let's go, let's go drink."

When Song Laoer and the others went back, Mrs. He and Erya had just prepared the food and were about to ask Siya to call them, but they came back in a hurry.This dish is quite rich at noon today.Stir-fried large intestine with sauerkraut, braised pork, and stewed chicken with mushrooms.

"Second, is this the jelly that your family sells?" As soon as Zhang Tiezhu came back, Mrs. Wang had already told him about the Song family's sale of jelly again.Now that he saw a dish he hadn't seen before, he knew that this bowl of food was the jelly that Mrs. Wang was talking about.

"Yes, this is jelly. It tastes cool, and it's perfect for summer." Song Laoer laughed.

"On such a hot day, I often don't have much appetite. Looking at this cold thing, I feel an appetite." Zhang Tiezhu was not polite, and tasted a small slice first, and thought it was really good. "Second brother, how can your family make these things?"

Song Lao Er laughed and said: "Her mother and the children messed up this. If you want to eat Tie Zhu in the future, you can just come to my house to get it. We have nothing else. This is enough. "

"You don't need to talk about it, I'm sure I won't be polite to you." Zhang Tiezhu said not at all politely.

Li Dazhuang accompanied the two of them to drink, and Zhang Tiezhu knew that Li Dazhuang was easy to talk about hunting, so he thought that he would go up the mountain to hunt with him when he had time.

"Tie Zhu, forget it, you didn't hunt when you left, and you certainly haven't hunted much in these years, and you still want to go hunting with Da Zhuang, you just can't figure it out." Song Lao Er directly threw Zhang Tiezhu of cold water.

"I don't know, don't you know how to learn? Second child, I have been smarter than you since I was a child. You can hunt. I don't believe that I can't catch up with you."

"Even if you're smarter than me, hunting doesn't just depend on intelligence, it also depends on skill."

The two were arguing about unimportant things, making a lot of noise.
