Chapter 23 23. Boiled vegetables with rice and salt
When the village chief and others came back with the wooden cart, the villagers who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the village were excited when they saw the things loaded on the cart.
The village chief really came back from shopping! Does this mean those medicinal materials were really sold?
The villagers were walking behind the wooden cart. A large group of people entered the village in a mighty manner. There were also a group of children jumping, running and making trouble. Everyone's face was no longer sad, but with bright smiles.
Their most real feelings about coming back from selling medicinal materials this time.
At least there is a way to survive.
When they arrived at the village, the village chief didn't hesitate and just divided the things that each household had agreed to buy. At the end of the day, he didn't forget to remind the villagers to remember Yue Jiuyue's kindness.
"This time, every household in our village can get so much money, thanks to the third sister-in-law. Xie Ke has to remember that the idea of making money was the third sister-in-law who came up with it. If the third sister-in-law hadn't been dedicated to our village,
For the sake of our Lin family, she can definitely earn these two or three dollars by herself."
"Remember, remember! We all remember how good her third aunt is!"
"Yes, we will all remember the good things about her third cousin-in-law. She gave us this way of life!"
"Her third aunt has had a hard time these past few years. Even though she still cares about our village, we need to help their family more in the future!"
"Yes! I need to help her three eldest parents more in the future!"
…
The villagers spoke passionately. Yue Jiuyue, who was walking around in the mountains to get grass for rabbits, didn't know that the things he asked the village chief to buy couldn't escape, so there was no point in picking up money.
(︶.︶)
In the evening, Lin Chaonan ran all the way back.
"Mom! Doctor Li taught us how to prepare Polygala today, and I learned it!"
Lin Chaonan was sweating profusely as he ran, and he wiped it with his sleeve casually, and then urged Yue Jiuyue to go with him to the patriarch's house to talk about this matter.
"Mom, let's go to the patriarch's house quickly, otherwise he and the others will go to bed later."
I was so anxious that I didn't even have time to eat, and I didn't even notice that there was food on the table.
"Let Brother Xen go together."
She still needs to eat.
Lin Chaonan didn't even ask his elder brother if he wanted to, so he pulled Lin Chaodong and ran out. Lin Chaobei didn't know what he was thinking, so he ran after him.
"Oh! I haven't eaten yet!"
Ms. Liu shouted at the backs of her three brothers, but they had already run away and could not be heard.
"Okay, leave the food for his three brothers, let's eat first."
It's rare to see rice porridge. Even if the rice is old rice, even if there are still chopped wild vegetables in the porridge and there are only a few grains of rice, Yue Jiuyue is still swallowed by the faint smell of rice.
It's not just her, I don't know if her family is like this, it's the whole village.
Today, some medicinal materials were sold for money. Because the village chief and the others went there with a wooden cart, they were sure to get money, so they all asked the village chief to help buy grain and salt. In the past two years, they only had seven or eight old rice.
Wen per kilogram has now risen to twenty wen per kilogram, and the price of salt has also increased, from one hundred and twenty wen to two hundred wen.
It's okay if people don't eat grain, because there are still wild vegetables to satisfy hunger. But if people don't eat salt, they will feel weak all over, and that's a waste.
Therefore, most families chose to buy salt. Only Yue Jiuyue's family also bought a pound of old rice and eleven cents to buy three taels of salt.
Don't ask her where she got the copper coins, she just took them out of a mouse hole!
