Afterwards, Aunt Li came over to bring water celery and small snails to Song Xi, but Song Xi didn't serve them to her.
Because Aunt Li has a large family, there simply isn’t enough room for her.
Besides, Aunt Li has made a lot of money following her during this period, and it can be said that her life is better than that of most families in the village.
She is too generous, what should I do if others take her for granted?
"Aunt Li, this morning I gave water celery and small snails to my classmate. She took them to share with her relatives. This is the money they gave you." Song Xi handed the three yuan cents to Aunt Li.
.
This further proves that the money was pooled together by several people.
"Xiao Xi, thank you."
Aunt Li took the money with a smile and simply counted it.
Confirmed, the smile on his face became even brighter.
But after a while, he frowned again and said with some worry, "Xiao Xi, the water celery is gradually decreasing. Is there anything else in our mountains that your classmates want to eat?"
Aunt Li was reluctant to lose this good and profitable business.
Because they are in the mountains and can't even provide food and clothing, so where can they have money?
Now Song Xi's classmates want these specialties from the mountains, which gives her an income and improves their family's living standards.
Although you have money and no tickets, you can't buy anything good, but you can buy some whole grains to fill your stomach.
"My classmate did mention it before. She said she wanted to eat mushrooms and wild vegetables. When the water celery is gone, Aunt Li can go pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables. I will bring it over and let her have a look. If her relatives want it,
We can then go all out to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables, but we have to put them in separate categories and not mix them together."
Song Xi is not very good at identifying mushrooms.
If Aunt Li is willing to pick it, she won't have to worry about it in the future.
There is no need to waste time on this, just take the money and 'buy' it from Aunt Li.
"Okay, I get it. I will definitely tidy it up and put it into categories so that your classmates won't find any faults." Aunt Li said seriously.
Mushrooms and wild vegetables can be found everywhere in the countryside.
The reason why they chose to take it from her was because of Song Xi's face.
If she doesn't take it seriously, people will definitely find someone else to buy it.
So she has to do her best.
This way, I can make money and it won't affect Song Xi's relationship with her classmates.
"Then I'll trouble Aunt Li." Song Xi said.
"No trouble, no trouble. Xiao Xi's classmates are nice people. Not only do they give us money but also old clothes, which relieves a lot of pressure on our family." Aunt Li said gratefully.
She was wearing old clothes given by classmate Song Xi!
There are no patches at all, just like new clothes.
The clothes of all the people in the mountains are all patched up.
She went out wearing unpatched clothes, and I don’t know how many people looked at her with envy!
When someone asked, she said they were old clothes given by her relatives.
But I don’t dare to confess Song Xi, otherwise what will happen if Song Xi is implicated?
After getting the confirmation from Song Xi, Aunt Li went home full of energy and full of hope.
Song Xi closed the courtyard door and put her things into the supermarket.
I went to the kitchen and poured the trotters, lotus root and lotus root soup into a large enamel basin.
Then fry the rattan vegetables directly in the oil pan of the stew pot soup.
Song Xi is now familiar with rural earth stoves and can cook very efficiently.
In a short while, two dishes and one soup were ready.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, come and see, my husband has brought you something good."
As soon as Zhou Yi entered the door, he shouted excitedly.
He didn't smell the aroma wafting from the stove at all.
Hearing Zhou Yi's slightly anxious voice, Song Xi came out of the toilet, washed her hands at the well, and then walked towards him, "What good stuff? Look how anxious you are."
"Come in quickly."
Zhou Yi reached out and grabbed Song Xi's arm, pulled her into the house, and not only closed the door but also locked it.
Then he took out the sack from the backpack and untied the hemp rope tied to the mouth of the sack.
He took out a beautiful duck from it like a treasure.
The feathers all over the body are brown with small black spots, like sparrow feathers. It looks like a modern-bred shelduck.
Song Xi couldn't help but reach out and touch the smooth feathers on the shelduck's head.
Looking at its big round eyes, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the little thing is so cute and its coat color is also very beautiful.
"Daughter-in-law, I still have duck eggs here!"
Zhou Yi took out ten duck eggs from his pocket and carefully placed them on the table.
"Brother Yi, is this duck the mother duck that is incubating eggs?" Song Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly, "Brother Yi, you are too bad, you served them all in one pot? Mother Duck
He and the baby duck egg are gone, how anxious must the father duck be?"
"What should we do?"
Zhou Yi only focused on finding delicious food for his little wife, but didn't think much about it.
Song Xi raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up instantly, "Brother Yi, why don't we raise them? These duck eggs can hatch at least five ducklings, right? As long as there is a female duck inside, then we can raise them every year
More than a hundred duck eggs can be collected! If there are male ducks and female ducks, then at least more than twenty ducklings can be hatched in a year, and so on... What a huge and spectacular number!"
As Song Xi spoke, she couldn't help laughing, as if something great had happened.
If the shelducks can continue to reproduce, there will be no need to worry about running out of ducks to eat in the future.
Sauced salted duck, air-dried duck, cured duck...etc. are all made from shelduck.
In addition, shelducks are easy to feed, and you can feed them small fish, shrimps or small snails.
"Okay, listen to your wife and raise her up."
Then Zhou Yi found a round rice basket, filled it with straw and leaves, put the duck eggs in it, and also put the shelduck in it.
However, he trimmed the shelduck's wings because he was afraid that the shelduck would fly.
Afraid of being known by outsiders, he placed the shelduck's nest in the utility room.
A lock was used to lock the door of the utility room, just in case some unsighted person came to the house one day and discovered that they had secretly raised shelducks.
Looking at his wife's expectant look, he didn't want to see her disappointed look.
Song Xi placed a bowl of water in the corner with a drop of spiritual spring water in it, and also placed a small bowl of smashed snails.
In this way, the mother duck can eat at any time.
Song Xi couldn't help but be happy when she thought that it wouldn't be long before she would have several cute little ducks.
The Song family must have never imagined that her life now would be a hundred times better than when she was in the Song family!
If the Song family knew about it, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood, right?
I hope the Song family won't approach her without being polite, otherwise she will make them miserable and carry her around.
Locking the door of the utility room again, Song Xi raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi, with a hint of cunning flashing in his bright eyes, "Brother Yi, shelducks usually live in lakes, weed piles along rivers, or dry land on pampas grass beaches.
On the ground, or in caves near the embankment, or in the forks of big trees or in the depressions under fallen trees, the eggs are laid and hatched, so where did you catch this shelduck?"
