Chapter 168 No one likes to take advantage
It wasn't that Ye Yuran didn't want to make meat sauce from the "ugly monsters", but it was mainly because the food was very particular. She was really afraid that Mr. Li might be too big-hearted and sell it to a pregnant woman, which would cause trouble.
It’s okay to eat at home, but save it for others.
A spoonful of spicy meat sauce costs 3 cents, and a lot of things are added. A pound of pig meat worth 8 cents can make a big jar.
The only thing that was not cost-effective was probably the chili peppers. Ye Yuran only had one pot in hand, so he just made a can of spicy ones.
When Ye Yuran asked Li to sell it, he let it slip, saying that there wasn't much spicy meat sauce, just one can, and it wouldn't be spicy anymore. If he wanted to buy it next time, he would have to buy the non-spicy one. If anyone wanted it,
, let me know in advance, she will do it here.
After all, Ye Yuran still couldn't bear to part with chili peppers.
She kept half of that pot for seeding, fearing that it would be eaten too much now and that she would not be able to eat it next year.
Occasionally, people come to buy the bracelets made by Zhu Bamei, but the business is obviously not as good as the food.
Those who like this thing these days are usually young girls. If your family does not have the conditions, you may not even be able to afford this thing.
For Zhu Bamei's business, Ye Yuran taught Zhu Bamei some new things, such as how to use some beautiful cloth to make beaded flowers. She also started this way, which was because Zhu Bamei had saved more than a dozen coins in her hand and was able to buy cloth heads by herself.
, just suggested.
Zhu Bamei was much more extravagant than Ye Yuran imagined. When she saw that the pearl flowers made by Ye Yuran with cloth were very beautiful, she spent all the money without saying a word.
"Mom, look, do these rags I picked out look good?" Zhu Bamei took a small pack of rags and turned them out for Ye Yuran to see.
She smiled happily, her little face full of joy.
"Well, it looks pretty good. You can do it when you're fine." Ye Yuran saw that she was happy with what she did, so he didn't dampen her enthusiasm.
Nowadays, there are really not many fancy things in the countryside. The various kinds of headbands that Ye Yuran remembers children wearing are not here.
Of course, taking them out like this is definitely not suitable for this era. She needs to change them to make these little flowers more delicate, just like the few little flowers on the top of her head, which are more pleasing to the eye.
There is also a simpler way, which is to braid a few hair ropes in the same way as a bracelet.
It's okay if you don't have a rubber band. It's just like stringing beads. Leave a rope in the middle that can be tied. When the time comes, just tighten it and tie it.
Zhu Bamei's side is not yet completely on track. The autumn harvest has finally begun, and the entire Zhujia Village is busy.
Ye Yuran could not find many impressions about the autumn harvest in the memory of the original owner. It seemed that when she married into the Zhu family, she escaped because she was pregnant with a child.
Later, when she takes Old Man Zhu to separate the family, she will not go to the fields at this time. She has always been responsible for the family.
Ye Yuran was quite curious about the autumn harvest in this era, so she went there wearing a hat to protect from the sun.
When she stood in the so-called "rice field", she looked shocked: This is their family's land?!
When she went to Taidang Mountain before, she saw such a large area and really thought they were "weeds".
The rice fields in her impression should be planted neatly, horizontally and vertically, right?
But in the area in front of us, they are like weeds. If you drop a handful of seeds, they will grow as long as you like. How much you can harvest depends on who spreads the seeds more densely.
"Old man Zhu, your family is doing well this year. Look, how densely you planted it, it will definitely be a good harvest!"
When Ye Yuran heard someone praising Old Man Zhu and Old Man Zhu looked proud, the corner of her mouth twitched.
Covering her face, even if she doesn't farm, she still knows that plants need space to grow, and when planting rice, they need row spacing.
The farm tools at this time were not easy to use. They were not the curved sickles she had in mind (yes, the curved ones held by the God of Death, just small ones held in one hand), but looked like kitchen knives.
A relatively straight knife, but it is narrower and thicker than a kitchen knife.
Ye Yuran: "..."
Shouldn't the curved sickle used to cut rice have a crescent shape?
Not only that, its blade is not as flat as a kitchen knife. It should be like a scale-scraping knife with some small gear-shaped teeth.
This kind of pulling when cutting rice is a bit like "sawing a tree". After sawing it for a while, with a little force, it will break after pulling it.
Forget it, there is no Fangdou yet, how can we fight this grain?
Old Man Zhu and others did not thresh the millet on the spot. Instead, after cutting it, they tied it into bundles and sent them home.
"What are you doing?" Ye Yuran was still a little confused when he saw Zhu Da picking him up.
"Mom, you rest here, I'll take it back first." Zhu Da said hello, picked it up and left.
An incident flashed through Lin Yu's mind - during the autumn harvest, the original owner and his sons were beating the rice on the ground in the yard.
Wait, don't tell her, that's "threshing millet". She thought it was the farmer's frugality before, and she was afraid that Fang Dou didn't beat it clean enough, so she "checked" it again.
But now it seems that this is not the case. Ye Yuran, who felt that he had "the truth", went to the next door house to check it out and found that almost every household was doing "autumn harvest" at this time.
She also saw that some people would pick out some "weeds" and throw them away when mowing.
Ye Yuran glanced at the bundled rice, then at the picked out weeds, and was speechless: "..."
The amount of weeds has almost reached one-third of that of rice. Is it sure it can fill our stomachs?
After hurriedly going home and looking at the crops in his own field, Ye Yuran noticed that Old Man Zhu and Zhu Er and the others actually picked when they were cutting, but the young people were not as careful as their elders and the picking was not so clean.
There are already a bunch of weeds around old man Zhu, and only some at Zhu Er's feet.
"Why are you standing there? Go back if you have nothing to do." Old man Zhu stood up and saw Ye Yuran still standing on the field, so he said, "You can't help here, the sun is so big, standing there
Can’t you bask in the sun there?”
"Damn it." Ye Yuran responded.
Hadn't she never seen it before, so she came to see "something strange"?
At this time, Mrs. Liu came back with Zhu Da. She came here specially to deliver water. When she saw Ye Yuran, she called "Mother".
"You can go back, it's okay to stand here." Old Man Zhu's tone was full of disgust.
Why don't you dislike it? He has been cultivating the land for so many years. Women in other families can work in the fields, but this one in his family can't.
But who asked her to give him so many sons? He could only "endure it".
"Well, I'll go back with the boss's family." Ye Yuran said.
She had seen everything she needed to see, and she didn't want to stay any longer.
On the way back, Mrs. Liu followed her silently.
This is the difference between her and Mrs. Li. If she were Mrs. Li, she would definitely chatter non-stop. Ye Yuran felt that it was actually quite embarrassing for two people to walk together. She might as well have walked alone just now.
"Ahem! Dabao, are the second treasures going out to play?" Ye Yuran was speechless and looking for something to say.
