Chapter 53 Buying Soybeans

Qiao Changshun felt distressed when he saw the two pieces of silk, "Why did you buy these?"

"Of course it is for wearing." Qiao Xiaomai put the food in the kitchen, and she returned to the room with two pieces of silk cloth, "The linen cloth is tied, this silk cloth is worn inside. Dad, don't feel bad about money, our family is now They can earn copper coins."

"It's noon, it's time to make lunch. If you have nothing to do, just light the fire."

Qiao Changshun sighed and stopped trying to persuade Qiao Maimai.

Recently, Qiao Mai has changed a lot, she has different principles, and she earns all the money.

"Let the rice light the fire. I'll cut some grass and come back to feed the donkey." His house is in the west, very close to Rooster Mountain. It's spring and weeds are everywhere.

"Go, go." Qiao Mai waved his hand.

Just now I was worried that the donkey was sick, but now I am worried about it. Farmers really care about their animals.

Qiao Mai put away his things and went into the kitchen to make lunch.

She cooked a big bone soup, fried tofu, and reheated the steamed buns in the morning, and lunch was ready.

Simple and delicious.

After lunch, Qiao Changshun fed the donkey, and then cleaned out the shed where the groceries were stored at home. The millstone was too heavy, so he went next door and called Aunt Guilan's family to help.

Aunt Guilan's surname is Yang, and her husband's name is Lin Dacheng, a simple and honest man. His eyes lit up when he saw the donkey and the millstone, and he hurriedly asked what happened.

After listening to Qiao Changshun's explanation, he raised his hand and patted Qiao Changshun's shoulder, "Changshun, work hard, your family's good days are coming."

Yang Guilan said from the side, "That's right, with Mai Mai's diligence, it won't take long for your family to become one of the richest households in the village."

There are more than 5000 people in Anping Village, but only Tong's family sells vinegar and Jiang's family sells pork. Now Qiao Mai's family is the third to start a business, and they still sell fresh food such as tofu.

The family fortune will gradually become richer!

Qiao Xiaomai smiled and nodded, instead of answering Aunt Guilan, she asked, "Auntie, you need soybeans to make tofu. How many soybeans do you have left? I want to buy them."

"There are still thirty or forty catties left." Yang Guilan replied.

To pay taxes, you only need to pay millet and wheat, and you don’t need soybeans, so the villagers don’t grow too much. Each family grows dozens of catties to make soybean rice or miso.

"Since you want to buy it, I'll sell it all to you. After harvesting the wheat, you can continue to grow soybeans. My family won't be able to use them for the time being." Yang Guilan said.

"Okay!" Qiao Mai nodded with a smile.

Buying all 38 catties of soybeans from Yang Guilan's family at a price of three Wen per catty, Qiao Xiaomai asked Qiao Changshun to clean up the shed, and tried to use a donkey to pull the millstone.

She went up the mountain to collect firewood.

This time she deliberately took a hemp rope and planned to pick up more. There was no gas, gas and electricity, and she had to rely on dry wood for cooking and boiling water. Her family also made tofu, so she picked up more.

Rooster Mountain is not high, only more than 300 meters. Qiao Mai walked up the path, looking around, searching for dead branches.

She is still carrying a pannier, and picks off fungus mushrooms whenever she sees them.

Of course, she also saw pheasants and rabbits. Although Rooster Mountain is not high, there are many wild animals.

But these small animals are very clever, and Qiao Xiaomai will startle them even if he makes a slight movement, and Qiao Xiaomai only has time to see their backs.

This made Qiao Mai quite regretful.

After wandering around the mountain for nearly two hours, the sun was about to set, so she carefully tied up the firewood she had picked up with hemp rope, then dragged it with one hand, and walked slowly down the mountain.
