But in fact, Wen Wen and the other two elder brothers also have a little secret, that is, the hidden silver of 175 taels that she and Wen Yu know about. Two, after the silver has risen to 175 taels, she will not move this hidden money, otherwise it will be all odds and she will not be able to keep accounts, but the hair ropes are not less, she has them all in the space, need to use Sometimes selling one or two can solve their family's urgent needs.

Aside from the odds earned from setting up stalls intermittently, their family now has a total of 450 taels of silver, which is really a lot for rural people.

Even if Wen Xin didn't understand, she also knew that this silver was quite valuable in ancient times. In terms of purely living, there must be nothing to worry about in this life, but when it comes to other things, it must not be enough, so she called Wen Xin. As far as the books Yu wants to read, all the books he uses now are brought over by Jing Chen for the time being without spending any money, but such books are not cheap, ranging from 1 tael to above, and the more involved the content Deeper, the price must be more expensive, but the cheapest one also needs 1 tael of silver, that is, one tael of silver is just a stepping stone, the starting price, not to mention that it is impossible for scholars to only read this book.

And you can't just read books, right? Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are a big expense. She took Wen Yu to buy a set of primary equipment two days ago, and only the cheapest set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones cost They are 25 taels of silver, which shows that the children of poor families these days do not want to study, but simply cannot afford to read.

In this way, they finally ushered in the end of the new year in the intermittent reading and busyness, and in the days without gentleness.

This is Wenxin's first New Year here, and she is in charge of the family's money. They have both money and time, so naturally they have no reason to wrong themselves.

Wenxin is influenced by her parents, the food during the Chinese New Year has always been very rich, her mother is from Hanshi in the south, and there are three dishes that must appear on the Hanshi people's New Year's meal, braised fish, croquettes and pork ribs and lotus root soup, she Dad is an authentic northerner. Northerners cannot live without dumplings during the Chinese New Year. All kinds of fillings are wrapped with a little bit, and a large table can be filled with just one casually made.

It’s definitely not necessary to cook all these dishes, but it’s okay to cook some of your own favorites, such as bone lotus root soup, which they usually drink a lot. It’s not difficult to make one for the New Year, and the other is deep-fried Meatballs are ready, these meatballs are delicious, but they are not very good for eating when they are fried. Wenxin learns from her mother and adds some side dishes to fry. It is also a dish. The other family members sit together to make dumplings. That's it.

Of course, she didn't only care about what she wanted to eat, mainly because none of the Wen family was picky eaters and liked to eat everything, so naturally it was up to her to decide.

Fragrant meatballs were fried in the oil pan. After trying one, Wenxin couldn't stop tasting one after another. I have to say that the pork these days is really fragrant. "It's so delicious, these meatballs are so fragrant."

While picking up the meatballs in the pot, Wen Yu said: "Xin'er, do you think these are enough? We don't have many to give away, so it should be enough."

Wen Xin stood on tiptoe and took a look, seeing that there were quite a lot of meatballs in that small pot, but there was really not much left, so she said, "Let's fry the pot again." , Now the cold meat can be put, and we can eat it for a few more days if it is fried too much."

Wen Jin was the first one who had no objection when he heard that he could eat more for a few days, "I think it's okay, second brother, then you can fry a little more."

Wen Hou smiled and joked: "You can look at anything."

Wen Yu saw that there was still some meat in the pot, so he said, "That's ok, let's fry it in another pot, or there may not be enough meat stuffing in the dumplings later."

"Okay, okay." Wen Xin repeatedly agreed.

After the last pot of meatballs came out, the kitchen was handed over to Wen Hou and others to clean up, and Wen Yu also started to pack the meatballs, sending some to the families they had a good relationship with.

The closest one is Aunt Wang, and it is precisely because of the proximity that the smell of Wen's croquettes has long since drifted to their home. Aunt Wang has been hungry for a long time at home, so she wants to come and ask. How to do it, but I was too embarrassed to come to the door to ask, because I was afraid that the Wen family would teach them and they didn’t want money. Unexpectedly, the two people came to the door after a while. Aunt Wang took the meatballs and said with emotion: "These meatballs are delicious. I am at home. I smelled it all, I originally planned to eat this ball again when my boss was having a wedding, but I didn't expect to eat it, so I ate it first now."

Aunt Wang's eldest son originally got married a week after Wen Wan, but who knew that four days after Wen Wan got married, that is, three days before Brother Wang's wedding, there was a heavy rain. The first heavy rain was even heavier, and several houses collapsed in one night. Fortunately, although the amount of rain was heavy, it did not last as long as last time. The rain stopped after three days, but even though the rain stopped, the village But it was flooded again, and after the rain, the temperature dropped again and again, and the water that flooded the village was all frozen into ice balls.

In this situation, you don't even know whether the other party is dead or alive, and you are still married?into a p.

Therefore, Brother Wang's marriage was naturally delayed. A week later, the icy water gradually faded, and Uncle Wang also drove a donkey cart to the woman's side. Fortunately, everyone in the woman's family was intact, but The date of marriage needs to be discussed again.

This year, getting married pays attention to a day, not a good day for marriage. It’s not a good day, so the time is changed to the third day of the new year. Counting the time, it will be seven days before the third day of the new year. Aunt Wang sighs with emotion Said: "I hope it goes well this time, otherwise it will be hard to change this day."

It is a big taboo to change the date of marriage. It has already been changed once. If it fails, these two people are really not allowed to be together. Naturally, there is no need to get married. Aunt Wang said politely again: "I will trouble you at that time."

Wen Yu said: "Why are you saying such polite words, my aunt? We don't have any relatives in our family, and we are free when we are free. We will definitely come to help when the time comes. Just leave the kitchen to us. Take it in quickly. It's still hot right now." If you can eat a few, save some to eat with green vegetables during the Chinese New Year, it’s also delicious, but it’s a meat dish.”

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up when she heard that, yes, such a big plate of meat must be delicious to eat with roasted vegetables.

"So, you young people are still smart, you still have to give it to others, hurry up, it will be cold in a while."

"Okay, let's go then."

After Wen Yu and Wenxin left, they went to the village head's house. As the same family, the village head's family took special care of their uncle, so they naturally wouldn't be stingy with a bowl of meatballs.

After leaving the village chief's house, it will naturally be the Qian's family. To be honest, Wen Xin really doesn't really want to go, taking advantage of no one around, she joked: "Do you think the eldest sister will get excited when she sees me?" Angry."
