Chapter 145 Never waste a single resource

Author: Lian Xiaoai

I didn't cook any staple food at night, so I steamed two chickens and fried all the crickets, which was enough for four large pots.

Two pots are spicy, two pots are garlicky.

Before serving, I poured some out and asked Li Heng and Yan Yixin to send it to the school. The rest was put into pots, and the two tables today were filled with pots.

When the two brothers came back, they started eating directly. Yu Zhao led them to eat with Xiao Qinglin and Wen Tian.

Cheng Xue was originally looking forward to the spicy crickets, but due to today's unexpected events, she lost her appetite and ate a few hastily.

There were guests here, so she couldn't leave the table early, so she washed her hands and helped the children peel it so that they could eat to their satisfaction.

Except for the three little ones, everyone else ate spicy food. Especially Li Heng. The spicy food made him hiss and he couldn't stop eating it. He could only take a few sips of cold water to relieve the pain.

Xiao Qinglin was originally using chopsticks gracefully, but when he saw Wen Tian peeling off one piece after another, he couldn't take it anymore, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and started peeling off the pieces like Yu Zhao and Li Heng.

It's so fragrant, even though it's very spicy, it makes you want to eat it.

"Why don't you call me before and I'll help you," Xiao Qinglin said while eating.

I didn't go up the tree when I was trying to catch pine nuts last time, so I went down to the river to catch crickets this time, and it was no problem at all.

The weather is hot, the water is not cold, and Wen Tian is still there, so there will be no danger.

Yu Zhao glanced at Wen Tian. Although the latter didn't raise his head, he seemed to be sensing something and said "hmm":

"As long as the school is not in session, you can do it at any time."

Yu Zhao thought it was reliable, so he put the peeled pieces in his nephew's bowl and said:

"Then let's go there again tomorrow. After the monuments are erected and the construction of the forest farm starts, we won't have time."

When Li Heng heard that he was able to go out again, he hurriedly made plans. There were a lot of game in the mountains in summer, and the master's martial arts was so good, so he had to make the best use of it.

Speaking of which, he is really similar to Li Hui and will never waste any resources.

After dinner, Li Hui hadn't come back yet. Cheng Xue looked at the table full of cricket shells and was thankful that he had saved Li Hui's portion in advance. Otherwise, he would have been stuck scratching the shells when he came back.

When the seasonings are not complete, the base is not as fried as modern times, but it is pretty good here. There is not much base left, so I have to buy butter early tomorrow.

Seeing that several children were paralyzed one by one, they hurriedly urged them -

"You three, don't lie down. Take your brother and sister for a walk in the courtyard to eat."

The carriage was borrowed by Li Hui, and Xiao Qinglin could not leave for the time being. Cheng Xue looked at him and asked:

"Staying here tonight? I'll boil water for you. After washing, you can sleep directly in Tiedan's room."

"Okay, sorry, sister-in-law." Xiao Qinglin was not polite, "You still want to eat this spicy one tomorrow, do you have it?"

"Don't worry, it's inevitable."

After speaking, Cheng Xue went out to get firewood, closed the doors and windows of the west room, lit a fire, and boiled water.

After cleaning up the house, she went back to the house and took out the things she had prepared earlier.

Last time Li Hui passed the exam, Si Zhu's wife took the eggs. This time she returned three feet of woolen green cloth, plus two small belly pockets made of cotton damask cloth, which was just right. Guo Dake gave the money directly, as he had many places to use the money.

.

"Sister-in-law, please wait for me. I'll go home and get some eggs and we can go there together. Brother Dake is always helping his father at the forest farm."

"Whatever you want to take, just leave it at my house and give it to me someday." Cheng Xue said and counted ten for her.

For the first wedding ceremony, ten eggs are just right, no more and no less.

When Wang saw it, he smiled and asked: "Let's add five more. Brother Dake even helped us when we went to the wasteland."

After installing five more, Cheng Xue thought about it and said:

"Does your family buy eggs in the village or in the town?"

"In the village, two cents a piece."

The chickens raised at home haven't opened yet, so now I'm eating one and buying one.

Cheng Xue's family had too many chickens and couldn't finish all the eggs, so she packed all the leftovers.

Count them, no more, no less, exactly fifty.

"It's a penny, bring me the money when you have time. It's hot and I can't hold it any longer, so I just buy and sell by force."

Wang said "ouch" and nodded hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, I am not a ungrateful person. I know my sister-in-law's hard work."

"It's not that hard, I'm just too busy to go to town, and my family really can't afford it."

Mrs. Wang thanked her again and again, sent the eggs home, and then came back to Cheng Xue with a basket in hand.

The two sisters chatted quietly and strolled along the village road. The night breeze was quite comfortable and drove away the heat of the day.

When they were about to turn the corner, they heard some movement at the end of the village. The two of them stopped silently and waited for them to approach.

"Uncle Jiang, what you said just now was so relieving. Look at what you said about the old Wu family in Woluo Village, you didn't even say shit." Wei Guangyang kept praising him all the way.

Jiang Jianye really couldn't bear it and hurriedly explained:

"I didn't come up with those words, they were taught by Hui Zi. Don't praise me anymore. I can't even praise you so much."

This guy is worthy of being the successor of Tofu Factory. He has such a loud mouth.

"Mian Ni, your father will allocate three acres of land. Tomorrow, grandpa will go to the town to transfer it to your name. The red deed does not require you. The village will provide it."

The village has sold a lot of wasteland these days, and the village has some money in its books. Thanks to Li Hui's righteousness, the cattle he bought have caught up with the village's public cattle, so anyone can borrow them and use them.

"Grandpa Jiang, is there any wasteland in the village?" Mian Ni asked softly.

"Yes, but you don't need it, you still have to get married in the future." Jiang Jianye said casually.

After all, she is a girl. When she gets married and has children, as long as the dowry is enough, she really doesn’t need the land.

Mian Ni had her own ideas and smiled and insisted.

"Grandpa, I want to buy seven acres of wasteland, which I will add to my family's three acres, and my sister and I will each have five acres. We will pay for the red deed by ourselves, please grandpa."

After the little girl said this, everyone gasped.

Li Hui, who didn't pay much attention to it at first, couldn't help but take another look at the little girl.

Is he so courageous? Could it be that this child was also reborn and traveled through time?

Thinking back to the Wu family just now, if she hadn't spoken so boldly and hysterically at the top of her lungs, I don't know how long the wrangling would have ended today.

Mian Ni knew what effect her words would have, so she stopped and nodded heavily at Jiang Jianye.

"Grandpa Jiang heard it right, it's seven acres of wasteland."

"Mian Ni, do you know if you can stop talking?" Jiang Jianye was confused.

Why is this girl different from the girls he knows? She won't be snatched away by some goblin, right?

Mian Ni let out a long sigh and said with a somewhat plaintive "hmm":

"Grandpa Jiang, in the future, we sisters will have to bear the burden of having a hard life. It will be difficult to get married. Rather than being picked around by others, it is better for us to have our own land and live a righteous life. When my father left home, he disliked me and him.

My sister is a girl, and my mother is indifferent to us. If we don’t take ourselves seriously, there will be no way to survive.”

The words of the ten-year-old girl shocked Cheng Xue and Wang who were listening in the distance.

"Sister-in-law, aren't Guo Erliang and his wife treating their two children badly?"
