The tea is wild camellia they picked in the back mountains. It has thick strings and is not very pretty in appearance, but it has a refreshing taste, a strong floral aroma, and a good refreshing effect.
If you drink one cup a day, you will not feel like your breath is blue, but your mouth will not smell bad all day long and it will be very comfortable.
With a pot of tea and two pieces of jujube cake, Baiyunxi squinted and soaked in the sunshine.
Chun Hua, who came back from picking vegetables next door with a basket in hand, saw her boss looking so comfortable and lazy, with envy in her eyes.
Look, this is how people live.
It's not like them, who get up to work before dawn, eat the coarsest grains, wear the shabbiest clothes, do the most tiring farm work, and must always be careful not to offend others.
Once offended, you don't even have the ability to resist.
She had been soaked in bitter water. Looking at her employer's life, she felt not only envy but also infinite emotion in her heart.
If she was allowed to live like this for a day, even if she died, she would still be able to smile and close her eyes.
"Chunhua, bring the vegetables in." Just as she was imagining, Du's voice came from the kitchen, bringing her back to reality from her imagination.
"Hey~, here we come."
People are different. She is a miserable person. How can she be blessed and enjoy happiness?
When Chunhua entered the kitchen with a basket in her arms, Bai Yunxi opened her eyes, raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
It is indeed not easy for people to change their destiny, but as long as they work hard, there is still a chance. Even if it fails in the end, if you try hard, you will regret it.
In the past few years, they traveled through the mountains and forests just for a bite to eat. Their shoulders were bruised and their feet were blistered. They endured the ridicule of the villagers and worked hard with their buttocks stuck out. They drank as much water as they could and sweated.
The opposite of bitter is sweet. They used their hands to move all the way from the shack to the big yard.
People in the world are forgetful. Everyone envies their big yards and says they are lucky, but they forget how hard they work.
For lunch, Du made steamed dumplings with cassava flour skin and two kinds of fillings, one with bacon and shredded radish, and one with tofu, eggs and vegetables.
The transparent cassava skin wraps the filling, which makes it appetizing.
Baiyunxi tasted one stuffed with meat, and the rest had vegetarian stuffing, and it was paired with sour soup. It was so comforting.
This was the first time for Chunhua to eat such exquisite food, and seeing everyone taking it for granted gave her a big shock.
It turned out that the host not only lived well, but also had such exquisite food. She had never eaten such food in her life.
Listening to Chunhua's thoughts, Baiyunxi glanced at her again.
Tapioca flour is just an accessory for making snacks here, and few people use it for cooking. It was she and Du who proposed making the stuffing crust. After trying it twice, she found the trick and made it very attractive.
"Chunhua, you've already been to the back hillside. After dinner, you can go deliver the food later. I've already prepared it. It's on the chopping board in the kitchen."
Du looked at the spring flowers and explained softly.
"Hey~, I'm done eating, I'll go now."
Chunhua stuffed the last mouthful into her mouth, drank the soup in one breath, and got up to go to the kitchen.
"You girl, don't be too hasty, or you may choke."
Du looked at her, shook her head helplessly, went to the kitchen with her, picked up a piece of floral cloth and covered the bamboo basket.
Chunhua looked at a jar of sour soup, five or six white flour steamed buns in a bamboo basket, and seven or eight tapioca steamed dumplings separated by oil paper.
"Are these meals sent to the fields?" This food is so good, even better than what their family eats during the Chinese New Year.
Dad would go back occasionally and said that the food was good, but she and her mother didn't pay attention. They only thought that dad was comforting them and said it deliberately.
When they met today, she realized that her father really didn't lie to them.
Du Shi looked at her surprised eyes and chuckled,
"Your dad and the others are doing heavy work, so they have to eat some pasta to fight hunger. Just steam the dumplings as a side dish."
"You are really a kind boss, my father was right."
Chunhua said gratefully, carrying the jar and basket to the back mountain.
Du sent her out and imitated Chunhua's tone from her mother-in-law.
"This girl Chunhua looks quite down-to-earth and good-looking. It would be nice to stay at our house. Moreover, she is also good at needlework."
"If she hadn't been good at embroidery, she wouldn't have caught Zhao Bazi's eye. She's not young anymore, and she will get married in a year or two. Even if she is kept, she won't be able to work for long."
In order to avoid Zhao Bazi, that girl was willing to come to the house and become a slave. If the difficulty was solved, she might not be willing.
She acquiesced at the time that she just wanted to give her a place to stay.
Now that Zhao Bazi has received his comeuppance, there is no need for her to keep anyone around anymore.
Hearing her many emotions today, Baiyunxi suddenly thought to himself, instead of taking in a girl in distress, it would be better to go to the Renya Market to buy a few maids and serve them back.
Many of the people bought from the human tooth market have been taught the rules by the people at the tooth market.
It doesn't take much teaching to be able to perform the duties of a maid.
Therefore, she will only temporarily take Chunhua in for a few days and will not let her be sold into slavery.
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Du Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled,
"My mother was very considerate. During our chat, Chunhua told me that if Zhao Bazi hadn't caused any trouble, her marriage might have been settled."
"Just because Zhao Bazi made trouble, the other party is afraid of getting into trouble and the marriage will be ruined."
Hearing Du's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned, "I haven't heard of this."
In this way, she is even less likely to leave people behind, and it is easy to develop enemies if she is not careful.
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
The moment he saw Zhao Yalang, Bai Yunxi immediately stood up and welcomed him to the corridor to sit down, drink tea and rest.
"Zhao Yalang has been working hard all the way. Let's drink a cup of tea to cool down the fever."
"It doesn't matter, it's not midsummer yet, so it's not too hot."
Zhao Yalang drank a glass of water and directly explained his purpose.
"I went to Mr. Wang yesterday to convey my sister-in-law's request. At that time, Mr. Wang was not happy and said that the price he wanted was not high and that it was impossible to lower the price."
"I saw that he had a bad attitude, so I didn't force him, so I took the words to him and went back. I wanted him to calm down and go back to talk today. Unexpectedly, during lunch, Squire Wang came to Yahang to find me.
, saying that he agreed to give away the spring wheat."
Baiyunxi listened and smiled slightly,
"Just agree. Four acres per acre is the market price, so it's not too low. I want spring wheat, but I don't want anything to go wrong and cause conflicts."
"Sister-in-law Bai is still thoughtful. When do you think the transfer is appropriate?"
Zhao Yalang echoed, he is a Yalang, and he can only get commission if the business is successful.
"Since both parties have no objections, the sooner the better. I will go with you to the town to go through the formalities and apply for the land deed."
Baiyunxi asked her second son to set up the car, and she went back to the house to prepare, and they went to town together.
"Aunt Bai, I'd better go with you."
Wenyou appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Baiyunxi.
"You didn't have a good rest last night. After a good sleep at home, you can go to the town to deed half of the land without any trouble."
