So Song Xi admired children of this era very much. Looking at the two children in front of her, she felt a little distressed, and then her eyes lit up, "Xiaoshu, do you know snails?"
It's summer now, the season for drinking beer and eating crayfish and snails. Thinking of this, Song Xi can't help but drool. She really wants to eat it!
The aquatic products section of her supermarket also has snails, scallops, crayfish and other seafood. It's just that she can't eat such strong flavors now, but this doesn't stop her from helping these two children within her own ability!
"Little aunt, that one is not delicious." Zhou Xiaoshu thought Song Xi wanted to eat snails, so he said hurriedly.
"Xiaoshu, I spend money to collect snails. It costs five pounds per penny. How about I collect whatever you pick? But I have to wash the mud clean and control the moisture. Is that okay?" She can't eat it now.
You can wait until you feel better before eating!
Although she has it in the supermarket, the things in the supermarket are not inexhaustible. She will finish them all one day, and she has no way to buy them from modern times, but if she can find a supplier in this era
'It's pretty good too!
Thinking of this, Song Xi couldn't help but laugh wildly in her heart. She was so smart. In doing so, she could not only help Xiaoshu Xiaohua improve her life, but also buy what she wanted at the lowest price.
It's simply perfect.
Hearing the words "one penny and five pounds", Zhou Xiaoshu stood up in shock and looked at Song Xi in disbelief. Although the children in the village had no chance to touch money, everyone was extremely sensitive to money because
They know that only money can buy food, clothing and clothing.
"Little aunt, there are so many snails in the paddy fields that no one eats them. If you want to eat them, I can pick up a basket for you. It costs five kilograms per penny. This is too expensive. Coarse grains outside only cost a few cents.
It’s a pound of money!” Grain is such a precious thing, it only costs a few cents outside, but there are so many snails that no one eats, and the little aunt actually pays a penny for five pounds?
Is the little aunt a little stupid or really doesn’t understand?
Song Xi stretched out her hand to hold Zhou Xiaoshu, who was a little excited, "Xiaoshu, if you are not willing to help me with such a small favor, then don't visit me again, and I won't pay attention to you when you come."
When Zhou Xiaohua heard this, her eyes were red with fear. She had no friends and no one liked her. This new aunt from the village did not dislike her. She gave her sugar and sugar water to drink, which made her feel sorry for this little aunt.
Full of good feelings, she was really afraid that her little aunt would really ignore her.
"Little aunt, I am willing to help, but I am afraid that little aunt will suffer a loss." Seeing that Song Xi misunderstood what he meant, Zhou Xiaoshu hurriedly explained that although he did not have money to study, a ten-year-old child was somewhat sensible.
"Auntie doesn't feel like she's at a disadvantage. Not only can she eat snails, but she can also make friends with you two children. Instead, she feels that she has made a profit!" Song Xi reached out and rubbed Zhou Xiaohua's hair, then said, "Then we will
We have agreed that from now on you will help me pick up the snails when you are free, wash them and dry them, and then bring them over when it gets dark. Don’t tell anyone else, you know? Little Hua, can you also keep it a secret?"
"Yes." Both children agreed readily.
If you have money, you can buy food and fill your stomach. They are young but not stupid. How could they tell others? What if they tell others and harm their little aunt?
The snails were in the paddy field, and the water in the paddy field could cover up to the ankles, so she felt free to let her two children pick them up. As for things like crayfish and snails, most of them were in the river, and she didn't dare to let her children go there, otherwise something would happen.
She will die of guilt, so she will put the crayfish and snails aside for now! When she is well, she will use a lobster net to net the river.
Anyway, crayfish can be eaten until October, and crabs can be eaten after October, while snails are available all year round. Field snails are different. In winter, field snails hide in the mud and are difficult to find.
"Then little aunt will thank you here first!" Song Xi gave each of the two children two White Rabbit toffees.
The average family values boys over girls. Boys are raised to be domineering and domineering. Everything goes into the boy's mouth. Girls can't eat any good food. But these two children don't fight or grab. It can be seen that the two children
Very deep feelings.
The two children sat with Song Xi under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree for a while and then left. They had a lot of things to do when they got home, otherwise their beating father would be rude to them.
Even if their father likes to beat people, they have nowhere to go and can only stay here. They don’t know where their mother is and whether she will come back to take them away, but it probably won’t be the case. Even if a woman remarries,
Life must have been difficult, so how could her husband's family agree to pick up her first child?
Now the little aunt has given them a way out, and they all want to take advantage of it.
Zhou Yi came back with a basket of mushrooms on his back. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Song Xi lying under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. He was so flustered that he hurried over and shook her shoulders worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, wife, wife..."
"Yi Ge, are you back?" Song Xi opened his eyes in a daze, saw the worried handsome face in front of him, covered his mouth with his hand, and yawned heavily, "I'm sorry, I'm a little
Sleepy."
"Why don't you go back to your room to rest when you're sleepy?" Zhou Yi picked up Song Xi from the bamboo chair and sent her back to her room to rest. He was scared to death just now, and he thought his little wife had fainted there.
After sending Song Xi into the room, Zhou Yi came out to sort out the mushrooms, prepare the food for the evening, and put the rest in a dustpan, intending to dry the mushrooms and save them for later consumption.
The sun is very strong this season, so as long as it is exposed to the sun for a few hours, it will not be a problem to store it for several months.
"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? Come and eat if you are." Song Xi just woke up and sat on the bed to wake up when she heard Zhou Yi's voice. She turned to look at the door and met his sincere and caring eyes.
, I feel very warm.
"Okay, I'll be here in a minute." Song Xi simply smoothed out his two braids, tidied up his clothes, and then went out to have dinner. Zhou Yi had already brought the dinner to the table under the osmanthus tree. Not only did he give it to Song Xisheng
After the meal was ready, I also made a cup of malted milk for her. I knew she didn’t like drinks that were too sweet, so I added half a spoonful of malted milk, which should be nutritious!
There were two dishes for dinner, one was mushroom and egg soup, and the other was fried sweet potato sticks with bacon. Under Song Xi’s guidance that day, Zhou Yi found that the sweet potato sticks were very tender and delicious, so he fried some more tonight.
It's delicious, but it's too troublesome to handle, because you have to tear off the skin one by one. In fact, no one in the village eats this. They wait until the sweet potatoes are harvested. The sweet potato vines and stalks are all rations for the cattle.
