Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 147

When they arrived in the town, they went to the clinic first. Puhuang was also very familiar with the shopkeeper, and the purchase price for unprocessed velvet antler was not low, but deer blood was not much.After taking the money they just got, a few people drove to the back door of Zhenwei Building. Because of the recipe package for delivering dried fish, the people in this restaurant knew themselves very well, and the shopkeeper quickly invited Lin The young master is here.

The two deer stunned by Puhuang are not dead, but they are dying, so the price will be higher. Lin Shaodong's family feels very sorry that the antlers have been sold, but the price he offered is not low. Sixty Wen per catty, several times higher than the price of that wild boar.

Judging by Liu Orion's expression, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with the price, and Lin Shaodong's family did not cheat him. The buck that Liu Orion caught weighed more than 100 catties, and he took about seven taels of silver.Among the three caught by Puhuang and Hong Haoan, there was only one male deer, and the other two were smaller. It was about two hundred and five catties. She plans to buy some medicinal materials and stew them together, which is said to be very nourishing.

Lin Shaodong's family was very straightforward, saying that he would call someone to kill him immediately, and let Puhuang pick it up after an hour. Although he didn't get the formula, he still earned enough money for every formula package he got. , I don’t feel bad if I give two catties more.

Although Lin Shaodong's family was quite generous, they gave five or six catties of venison, but it was not enough. Therefore, the elders of the Lizheng clan were destined not to be able to eat venison. Originally, Puhuang wanted to take two pheasants and hares , to express her affection, but she didn't expect her ears to be better, and she heard the gossip of a few women, so she simply didn't give anything away.

There is also something particular about delivering things. It’s not good to give something too good, and it’s not good to deliver something bad. If you don’t do a little bit well, it will be said that you can’t be a human being, which is quite annoying.

"My lady, why did you ask me to pick this?" Hong Haoan squatted beside Puhuang, watching her plant the things he picked from Wo Niu Mountain in a pot filled with river mud.

"I don't know," Puhuang shook his head, clapped his hands, and poured the water in the bucket into the basin, "I think this is a bit like water chestnut, so I want to dig it back and plant it." Actually, the real reason is that this plant , a bit like the water chestnut mutated in the previous life, it can be planted in rice fields like a horseshoe, the fruit is slightly larger, and it tastes good, especially when it is dried and ground into powder, it is delicious.

The mutated plants are both good and bad. This kind of water chestnut is often eaten, or used to wash the face with powder, and it has a whitening effect. In the previous life, she accidentally heard a plant-based supernatural person say it, and she also tasted it. So I was very impressed.

"Well, don't tell me, my lady, I really didn't find it. But, doesn't the water chestnut grow in the lake, can it live in such a pot?" Hong Hao'an looked carefully again, and always felt that this wilting plant survived. The odds are too low.

"Anyway, it's just a try, it doesn't matter if you can't live." The big deal is to go to the mountain to pick a few plants and come back, anyway, she remembers the way.

Hong Hao'an somewhat guessed Pu Huang's thoughts, he naturally didn't want her to take risks, and secretly decided in his heart to take good care of this water chestnut tree, and he must seriously remember and keep in his heart everything that can make his wife happy .

After the heavy rain, the weather became hotter and hotter again. Seeing that the water in the fields was about to dry up again, the villagers were so scared that they stayed in the fields every day, or if they didn’t land in the morning and evening to watch the sky, they were afraid of another heavy rain , Everyone was scared before.

At this time, it was already the beginning of July, and it was still as hot as the dog days, but the water level of the river did not drop. The experienced old man said that it would be good in August, and if there was no more rain in August, the harvest would be successful. Will affect what.

Last year, because of too many things to do, Puhuang missed the Qixi Festival, which belongs to her daughter’s family. The closer it is, the more excited the women are. Things like flower hairpins, rouge gouache, and some pastries of specific shapes, and if there is a daughter in the family, they will buy colored clay dolls for them.

Speaking of it, Puhuang was very interested. According to Wang, the better women in the village would go together, worship Qiniang and compete with each other. Afterwards, they would drink, eat snacks, chat and play games, and no men would join in. Completely belong to the women's home field.

The four families on their side have already formed a small circle. The table for worshiping Qiniang is set in the courtyard of Widow Qiu's house. She and Mrs. Wang are the leaders, leading Puhuang and others to worship Qiniang. After making a wish, one person takes a section of lotus root with seven needles inserted in it, and several people compete to see who can pass the thread first. This is the so-called Saiqiao.

Although Pu Huang is not good at needlework, she has good eyesight and quick reactions. She was the first one to finish it, which made the rest of the people tease her. She has only learned how to make clothes not long ago, so how can she be the most skillful?After a while, a few people made a fuss.

After that, a few people sat around together, eating melons and fruits, looking at the crooked moon, and dancing candles, telling stories they knew, or gossip.Widow Qiu even talked about the customs in other places. She said that in some places, women on Qixi Festival will catch spiders, and then compete to see who can catch the spiders. And so on, causing the rest of the people to shout in surprise.

After a while, a little girl came to ask Qin Zhilian to go out to play. Widow Qiu explained to her a few words, and then the rest were married women, so there was no need to avoid talking about little girls.

Jiao's belly is more than eight months old now, the belly is not small, and the belly is pointed. Both Wang and Widow Qiu said with experience that this child must be a son.Then, the two of them teased Puhuang, did they ask for an early birth when they prayed just now, which made Puhuang extremely depressed.

Because of the presence of a pregnant woman named Jiao, the party didn't last long, and soon, several people dispersed, making an appointment to get together and chat when they had time.For Puhuang, who has personally experienced the Qixi Festival, this is a day for the ancient working women to relax outside of work and chat with sisters and friends.

When Puhuang came home, it suddenly started to rain, and the others were very surprised. They all said that it was the tears shed by the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl when they met, which meant that they met successfully.Sometimes, Puhuang sneered at some folk sayings, but unfortunately, there were many phenomena that she could not explain, but after accepting them, she felt that the meaning of them was very beautiful.

The rain continued to fall at night. When I woke up the next day, the ground was soaked, and the plants looked refreshed. Puhuang went to the corner to look at the pot of mutated water chestnut, and saw that it was growing well, so he went to wash it.

Hong Haoan gave Puhuang a jade bracelet yesterday, when he was burning the fire, his eyes kept looking at her hand, and seeing that she was still wearing it today, he couldn't help grinning, a little silly, He knew that Puhuang didn't like to wear jewelry, and the ring on her finger was only worn by her after he emphasized it.

So, he's happy now.

On rainy days, there is nothing else to do. In the valley, we can go to sow seeds in two days and plant some radishes and cabbages.Pu Huang intends to read books. As for needlework, unless necessary, she will not work very hard.

Hong Haoan went to see the situation of those duck eggs. He had been working on them for more than ten days. He was a little worried about failure, so he had to take a look at them every few days and smell them outside the tank, which made Puhuang very speechless.

"Ma'am, let's count how much money we have earned these days?" Hong Hao'an said, taking out all the money in the closet, and then talking about it one by one. They didn't say who is in charge of their family's money, anyway, put it away. In that position, whoever needs it can get it by himself.

"From the Chinese New Year to the present, there are only 52 taels of silver for selling dried fish and dried fish recipe packages, and then the lo mei shop is divided into four taels. We haven't got the silver after we split up. It is roughly 150 taels. Now only I got ten taels, and then three deer plus velvet, roughly 18 taels. And we have 190 taels of silver on us now, hey, where did the lady get the 100 taels of silver ticket?" Hong Haoan said these things in his mouth Counting the income of the day, he found that the money in his hand was much more than what he had counted, and he couldn't help saying in surprise.

"Well, let me think about it, oh, when I went to Liu's mansion to find my mother and younger sister, I picked it up from them, didn't I tell you?" Pu Huang turned his head, saw the bank note in Hong Hao'an's hand, and thought Liao thought about it, remembering that she took more than 100 taels at that time, but all the rest was used to pay back the compensation requested by the villagers.

Hong Haoan scratched his head: "I may have forgotten that, but I forgot to count the wild boar's money."

"My lady, I found out that we spent a lot of money." Hong Hao'an put the money in a small box and said seriously.

"It's okay, we paid a lot for Dad's funeral, and when we built the house, it was easy to find someone to borrow money, so we paid it back. Later, when my aunt came back, we also spent a lot of money for my cousins. Shopping, it’s okay, it’s not wasted.” Puhuang thought for a while, and felt that she had no idea about money, and she didn’t like keeping accounts.

However, selling dried fish for so much money is really wrong. At that time, she just deliberately raised the price, and she kept selling it at this price without thinking about it. The one with the most income was also continuous.

"Ma'am, do we want to buy a shop in the city?" More than 100 taels is enough to buy a shop with a good location and a large area. Whether it is doing business by yourself or renting it out, it is good.

"Buy a shop?" Pu Huang put down the book in his hand, "Master, have you ever thought about leaving the village?" Pu Huang found that the village was not as good as she imagined. There is land in the lake, and there is no suitable place for raising pigs and fish to grow lotus roots.

"My lady wants to live in the city? That's fine too, but if you want to buy it, you have to buy a bigger house, so you can have fun when you have children." Hong Hao'an thought for a while. It's cheap, no matter how you say it costs more than 200 taels. Of course, if it's the kind of house in the alley, you don't need that much at all, but it's too messy, so it's not good.
