Xianggong farming

Chapter 431
In previous years, it only snowed at the end of November and the beginning of December, but this year it has already started to snow at the end of October.Chaozhong has restored stability, but it seems that God is not stable again.

In order to be afraid of heavy snowfall, the Jiang family took all the fruits away when the weather was good.Ji Xinmiao devoted herself to building her shiitake mushroom shed. Winter came early, and her shiitake mushrooms became delicious.The roads in Shangping Village are wide and flat. Many restaurants in the town and county have gone to Shangping Village to buy shiitake mushrooms. The original price of mushrooms of various colors has risen from four cents per catty to eight cents per catty, and even fungus costs five cents. It's a catty.

Other villages did not have a harvest because of the winter crops, but most of the families in Shangping Village had a good year because they followed the mushrooms.

But it was so cold, possibly the coldest year in decades.Like many old people, Grandpa Ji went to Yan Wang's as New Year's guest not long after the New Year's Eve, which made Ji Xinmiao sad for a few days.

It has been snowing in the first month of the lunar year, and the snowy day is beautiful, but it is too cold.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with waking up so early, Ji Xinmiao asked Qi to tell everyone that at night, they would make porridge and make noodles in an earthen pot, and everyone would sleep until the early morning of the morning. Let everyone sleep late.

It's high time after breakfast, and now I get up late and go to bed early, everyone in the village eats two meals, and the Qi family has followed suit.But Ji Xinmiao's breakfast is always real, unlike some people who just deal with it in the morning.Now that she has the conditions, she doesn't want her living standard to fail and her body to suffer.The short life expectancy of ancient people is related to eating too much bitterness and lack of exercise.

When I was full, I naturally thought about exercising. People in a large courtyard played a game of making snowmen. Among them, it was not Qi Xiaohan and Qi Xiaojun brothers who played the craziest and most fun, but Xixi, a half-grown girl.

A sudden barking of dogs woke everyone up, Xixi pouted and asked, "Who is here in such a snowy day? Eldest sister."

Huanhuan and Sister Mao were making a snowman and making eyes for the snowman, but they didn’t turn their heads when they heard her sister ask her, “Who cares, they’re not looking for you anyway.”

Xixi rolled her eyes and said, "Who said it wasn't for me? What if Uncle Li's sister Qing'er came to play with me? If she really came after a while, we won't play with you."

She doesn't want to play with them, they are two little kids who haven't grown up, playing with such childish things, who will play with them?
Huanhuan glanced at her: Has this younger sister become an idiot as mother said?Sister Qing'er of the Li family came home to play at least twice in three days, and she would scream so fiercely when she came?Obviously no strangers know!Let you read and you only know how to play, see you getting more and more stupid!
The elder sister's eyes are clearly full of contempt, Xixi feels that she has been wronged, how could she be wrong?She didn't see anyone, so how did she know it wasn't Sister Qing'er?She said yesterday that she came to play at home today.

The two dogs outside the door barked very fiercely. Qi Dalang asked Da Chen to open the door, but when the door opened, Da Chen spoke in a strange voice: "Master...Master, this..."

Qi Dalang dropped the snow ball in his hand and walked out: "What happened?"

He also froze when he saw the dark crowd at the door...

"Master, please give me a mouthful of hot soup? I beg you to be kind enough to give the children a mouthful of hot soup. I will be grateful!" An old man in his fifties hugged a woman who was so thin that only two big eyes remained. The child stood at the door and immediately fell to his knees when he saw Qi Dalang coming out.

"I beg the master to give the children a mouthful of hot soup, I will remember it in my heart!" A large group of people knelt down, and the crowd, mainly children, fell to the ground.The tattered clothes, the livid face, and the feeble voice.

Qi Dalang glanced, there were at least a hundred people in this group, half adults and half children.Judging by this expression, I am afraid that they have eaten for more than two days, especially those children, who have almost lost their anger.

Huanhuanxixi, Hanhan Junjun all ran out when they heard the voice outside the door. When they saw such a group of beggars, their four small mouths were open enough to swallow eggs.

Qi Dalang waved his hands: "Da Chen opened the door, let everyone go to the guest room on the left to avoid the wind and snow. Sister-in-law Xiu, set up a big pot, cook a few pots of porridge first, and then make some steamed corn bread. There are not enough people, call Eldest sister went to the nursing home and called a few people over to help."

Xiugu brought a few wives and daughters to get busy, and when Da Chen opened the door, Qi Dalang entered the inner courtyard: "Daughter-in-law, a group of beggars came outside, I asked Da Chen to open the door to let them in. "

Ji Xinmiao, who was settling accounts on the kang, was stunned: "You called all the beggars in? You..."

Qi Dalang said a little guilty: "Daughter-in-law, I counted 81 people. There are a lot of people, but most of them are old people and children, and there are only a few young women. I am afraid that this snowy day will last two years. God, this group of people will starve to death if they are not cold. There is no shortage of food at home, I wonder if I can let them hide for a few days, and let them go when the weather clears up."

This man is a kind and honest person in the end, otherwise he wouldn't be so devoted to himself.He was right, with a hundred or so people, it is not a problem for Ji's family to eat for a few days.Human life is always more important than food.

Ji Xinmiao sighed from the bottom of her heart, she never wanted people to think that she was a virgin, but when this happened, she really couldn't throw people out.But why are there only old, weak, women and young in this group of people?What about the men?

There are kangs in the eight guest rooms, and a dozen people are arranged in each room, and women and children, men and children are divided into eight piles.Seeing this group of people huddled together and shivering from the cold, Ji Xinmiao frowned tightly: "Old He, bring someone to burn the kang. It's so cold, adults can bear it, but children can't stand it."

Lao He, who was delivering quilts to the group of people, immediately responded: "Yes, ma'am, this old slave will go right away. The master asked Da Chen to go over there, saying that there are not enough quilts at home, so he asked Mr. Zhang to smoke some quilts." come out."

At this moment, Qi Dalang came over, and when everyone saw the benefactor entered the door and knelt down on the ground, he quickly waved his hands: "Get up. Don't kneel over such a trivial matter. I don't think you people are like real beggars. Is there anyone who can avoid encountering some difficulties when going out? It is not a great kindness for everyone to help each other. However, I have to explain first that although my Qi family has a big family fortune, we can only hide for a few days. When the wind and snow stop, everyone, don't say that my Qi family is stingy."

Qi Dalang knew the reason why people's hearts were not satisfied, and the buns he ordered Xiugu to make were all black noodles, and the porridge was coarse grains.He can't let everyone eat so much that they are reluctant to leave. At that time, he will not do a good deed, but will be taken advantage of.
