My whole family is dancing

Chapter 119 The whole family is making progress

There are several big sour jujube trees on the mountain. It is said that this thing can relieve cough, and because it is very sour, so except for children who pick it up to mess with their mouths, only the elderly will pick up a few and put it on their bodies.

"So many are ours."

Thinking of being able to sell it for money, Bai Guoer wished she could get all the jujubes on the mountain home today.

"Second sister, let's try first."

The talk is so lively, she has never tried maltose to make jujube cake, I don't know if it can be successful, it should be no problem, right?

Three people and one dog squatted on the ground and kept picking up jujubes. Before they knew it, there were two shivering pheasants squatting in the grass not far away. The evil stars in colorful clothes picked up their eggs, but they couldn't afford to provoke them. The pig boss and his family were all taken away, not to mention their chickens that weigh no more than two catties?
The third chicken wanted to run away, but his wife wanted to protect a few eggs this time, and if he couldn't keep them, he didn't want to live anymore.

Fortunately, Baifuer's mind is full of sour jujube cakes now, and he didn't expect to go to the place of wild eggs. It was not until he picked up a full basket and half a basket, that Baifuer said that it was almost done. After all, tomorrow's candy should be prepared and delivered. Those who went to Taoist temples did not give them much.

"gone."

Zhang Xiaobao was carrying grass, Baiguoer was carrying wild jujubes, Baifuer was carrying a basket, and just as he was about to leave, Xiaohuagou sensed movement behind the grass. He ran over with his tail wagging and saw two pheasants, and started barking on the spot.

Bai Guoer suddenly remembered, "Fu'er, do you think those pheasants are laying eggs again, let's go and have a look?"

Baifuer greeted the sweet potatoes and left, "Grandpa said we can't kill them all. We picked them twice, so let's not pick them up."

Hearing her words, Ji Lao San and his wife burst into tears of gratitude, and felt that the evil star was not so bad, and was somewhat moral.

Sweet Potato turned around and watched several people go down the mountain. The third chicken's daughter-in-law cried heartbreakingly, thinking that its eggs would be lost again.

Seeing so many wild jujubes, Po Li felt troubled, "Why did you two sisters bring back so many sour jujubes? If you can't finish them, it will be ruined."

Bai Fu'er hurriedly told her plan, stepped forward and hugged Granny Li's waist, "Good grandma, can I get some more sugar tomorrow, please, give us some."

"Grandma." Bai Guoer also ran over, hugged Li Po's arm and began to shake, "You can give us a little more, when we make money, I can buy rice and millet to do it myself. How is grandma?"

Li Po had no choice but to say, "Just once, I can't sell it cheaply. Making maltose really costs a lot of wheat and rice."

She has done the calculations, about ten catties of wheat can produce one catty of sugar. Fortunately, the pulled maltose lumps are not weighed down, so they are sold one by one, otherwise, Fang'er will lose money in this business.

Bai Guoer opened her mouth happily, "Grandma, have you seen my ducks? They've gotten better recently. They just ate the leftovers that are no longer needed for making candy. Shall we feed a few more ducks?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Don't think about those residues. Your grandma is talking about moving the mule to a new house and then catching two piglets. Your aunt has a lot of sugar residues." , It’s very good for feeding pigs.”

Baiguoer started fighting for her ducks again, her voice was heard all over the yard, and finally Baifuer said, "There are wine brewers in the county town, and the food that has been brewed is also unnecessary. I heard that it is very cheap. Just buy some and feed the ducks when the time comes.”

That night, after dinner, Bai Lihui talked about doing white things, and they received another job, this time it was a big job, the owner had money, and asked to be as decent as possible, and the stage should be big, Bai Lihui turned out all his yellowed old books.

Bai Changqing cheerfully came over with a book, "Father, I found a book for you to read. It's rare to see a book about funerals."

Bailihui was a little curious, "The funeral rules are passed down from generation to generation. It's not easy for our family to come here. You can do it naturally?"

Bai Changqing sat down with a smile, "It's not easy for me. I have greeted all the book shops in the city early in the morning. If there are similar books, come to me first."

"Look in this book, it says that funeral rites are divided into ten categories. It talks about mortuary, mourning, summoning the soul, sending the soul, and performing the seventh day. There are also condolences, encoffining, mourning clothes, mourning, burial, etc. It is very detailed and can be I don’t know who wrote it, it’s much more complicated than the rules we have now.”

"Look at this page. We have never done the bathing ceremony and meal ceremony mentioned here. Many things are different from ours. Last time the mother-in-law of Wang Dahu in the city went, it is said that she came from the provincial capital. I ordered a royal blue brocade dress with blessings embroidered on it, and I bragged about it for a while, you see, I also said here that 'satin' is also 'broken', it's not good."

Bailihui took a closer look, "This theory has always been said, but country people never wear satin clothes when they are alive, and it is even more impossible to die. They are all dressed in sackcloth. Wang Dahu is an upstart and wants to show off."

The father and son sat and studied carefully. Bailihui already knew a lot about these things. In addition to the rules passed down by the older generation, he also summed up the rules of other people's funerals over the years. This book feels like a treasure, and it's not stupid. The things in it make sense at first glance.

Bai Lihui sighed while reading, "I'm afraid it was written by a wealthy family, and ordinary people can't afford to pay attention to it. How much money will it cost to complete the whole set?"

"If our father and I meet, we may not be able to do it."

Bai Changqing smiled and said: "We have met now, let's add up the sum to see how much money it will cost, and if the owner agrees, we will do it."

"But you have to study hard first, how to do it, I don't think it's too difficult, it's just that there are more rules."

The two of them immediately began to study, and Bai Lihui also found a pen and paper, and even wrote down important things.

Bai Fuer sat and listened for a while before leaving. It can be said that her grandfather and third uncle have been improving all the time. The elders are like this. Why do they have to be lazy?
She also needs to make progress, thinking about how to make the jujube cake well.

On the second day, Zhang's new house was officially announced to be completed, and all that was left was to let the furniture dry out before moving all the furniture in.

Today's new houses are full of people, and they all say that the new house is well-built and spacious, and many people are envious. After all, not everyone can get 50 taels out of thin air.

After finally finding time to spare, those who didn’t need to help with the cooking sat together and chatted. Mr. Zhang’s family prepared fried peas and chickpeas, which just kept their mouths busy and hands free.

When these women sat together, the exchange of various news took off, and when Baifuer went to catch peas, someone stopped her, "Fuer, did the mother and daughter of the Xie family come to see your grandma? It's her!" The one that my child doesn’t want to live anymore?”

Bai Fuer tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head, "I don't remember, my grandma usually doesn't ask people's last name?"

As she spoke, she picked up a small stool and sat down with those women, "Fifth Aunt, what happened to the little Xie family you mentioned, is he dead?"
