I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 506 The Cannon Fodder Who Died in Exile (24)

Shi Jiang was very satisfied with the wild grapes that were tidied up, it was just a little cleaning, and they could be used.

Especially after taking a sip, maybe because of the sunshine here, it is very sweet.

After she took out all the wild grapes, she weighed them directly.

Then he took out 78 copper coins and handed them to the older boy.

"Your wild grapes have a total of 26 catties, and a catty costs three Wen. Here is 78 Wen. You count."

Hearing what Shi Jiang said, the other party's face turned red all of a sudden, his mouth squirmed a few times, and then he lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"We haven't read books, we can't count."

Hearing what the boy said, Shi Jiang froze for a moment, but turned around and entered the room without showing any contempt on his face.

When the boy saw Jiang directly entering the house, he felt inexplicably sad.

For people like them, it is good enough not to be beaten or scolded in the customs. Today, this lady, just because she smiled at them just now, he actually has a little more expectation in his heart. What he was expecting, he himself didn't know!
Just when he was very depressed, Shi Jiang came out of the house, holding a ball of thread and a pair of scissors in his hand.

Then I took a bunch of scattered copper coins and counted one, two, three in front of the boy, threading them into the thread as I counted, until I counted to ten, I cut the thread with scissors. Then put the ten copper coins aside in a bunch.

After all the copper coins were put on, he put the stringed copper coins in the boy's palm one by two and three by three.

A string of ten pieces, a total of seven strings, and eight characters were placed separately in the palm of his other hand.

Shi Jiang pointed to the seven strings in his left hand and the eight copper coins in his right hand, and said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seventy... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Add up, 78, it's clear." Is it?"

The boy stared blankly at the copper coin in his hand, then raised his head to look at Shi Jiang in a daze.

The big blue eyes were full of astonishment.

"If you want to learn how to read, I will teach you when I send wild grapes over here in the future. Not for anything else, at least no one will be cheated out of money."

Shi Jiang smiled at him, then said.

Hearing this, the boy's eyes suddenly burst into surprise, he nodded vigorously, then pointed to the eyes of himself and the boy who was with him and said.

"Thank you, miss. My name is Dalan and his name is Xiaolan. If you need anything in the future, you can come to us."

Shi Jiang thought about it, and said to them: "If it's convenient for you, you only need to deliver wild grapes every two days. If it's dangerous, it's okay to pick them every few days."

After all, she also wants to continue this business for a long time.

If it's too dangerous, these two are still half-grown children!
However, Big Blue and Little Blue don't think so.

Hearing Shi Jiang's request, he repeatedly bowed down and thanked him.

"Thank you miss, thank you miss, the little ones will definitely bring you the wild grapes on time."

Compared with the danger of being hungry, how can it be more important to fill the stomach?
Besides, here at the border, danger is commonplace.

Maybe one day those barbarians from outside the pass will come to knock on the pass and fight Caogu. That's how he and Xiaolan's mother were snatched away by the barbarians.

After giving birth to Xiaolan, the barbarian relaxed his vigilance, and Mother led them back to the customs secretly.

However, after arriving in the pass, my mother thought of her relatives, but refused to recognize her.

No, it should be more precise, he refused to recognize him and Xiaolan.

So, in the end, my mother could only take him and Xiaolan to Zahu Village.

But because of starvation and cold, he went there after a few years.

Since then, they have often starved of hunger, and when they were the hungriest, they ate turf and bark.

Now this young lady can give them so much money at a time, and also teach them how to read, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, they are willing to break through.

After they left, Shi Mu sighed that life is not easy.

Shi Jiang was afraid that Shi's mother would be depressed and unwell, so she quickly used the fresh wild grapes, peeled and dug out the seeds, and made a glass of smoothie grapes for her to drink.

It's only been May, and the weather is already warming up.

There had been no wind and snow for a long time, and when my mother drank the smoothie, she froze on the spot.

They are not now when they were the wives and young ladies of officials in the capital. At that time, there was an ice cellar in the mansion, and every year in the hot summer, they could take out the ice cubes hidden during the New Year from the ice cellar to cool off.

Here, where did my daughter get the ice cubes and grind them into such fine pieces?
In the evening, when Shi's father came back, Shi Jiang performed in front of the two of them how to make ice with saltpeter.

"This saltpeter can be used repeatedly. In the summer, we won't be afraid to use it without ice cubes."

When Shi Mu heard this, she gave her a look, and then said.

"No, you are a girl, you can't be so greedy for coolness. Be careful if you get cold, it will hinder your future heirs."

Hearing Shi Mu's words, Shi Jiang choked.

Suddenly her head hurts, she never thought about getting married and having children!

With this new drink, although the original pearl milk tea is still drunk, it is not as attractive as real smoothie grapes.

After all, the ice cubes in this smoothie are only available to wealthy families in this season.

In an ordinary home, where is the ice cellar to store ice?

Time passed by, and Shi Jiang was like a queen, patrolling the fields in the backyard.

All the sweet potatoes in this field can be dug.

This time, in order to dig these sweet potatoes, Shi's father rushed back early after selling the goods, and then worked in the field all afternoon.

Every time he dug up a sweet potato vine, a large bunch of sweet potatoes growing underneath would make him grin from ear to ear.

This is all real food. If they had this food, they would never have to go hungry again.

The most important thing is that this soil bump is full of treasures.

The pole that grew on the vine, my daughter picked it off and tore the skin, and then asked Mrs. Shen to fry it for the whole family to eat. It was very refreshing.

After the uneaten vines were cut off, they were chopped up and fed to the pigs.

That's right, after buying Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen felt that the work she did at the master's house was too leisurely.

She is not like Shi Mu, who knows delicate work like embroidery.

So, I directly raised my opinion with Father Shi, and bought two pigs and a dozen chickens and ducks, and she took care of that cow together.

And these sweet potato vines have all become the food of these livestock.

The biggest reason why animals are not fattened or grown is that people have no food to eat, so where can they get food for animals?
Now that the animals are full, they will naturally grow fat and fat.

Especially the cow, which looks exactly like two cows now and when it was brought from the village chief's house.
