The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 115 Tired of eating

"Xiaohua, sit down and eat too." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile.

Niu Xiaohua responded, filled the rice and came to sit on the kang to eat. She knew that the Zhong family didn't have so many rules, but there was no such thing as a different table for men and women. In the past, she could only hide in the corner of the kitchen to eat at home. , can’t go to the table at all, but now at Zhong’s house, there are no such rules, and Zhong Gensheng eats at the same table, so she is used to it now, and she is not timid. She sat on the side of the kang generously and started For meals, now she doesn't need anyone to pick up the food, she can do it herself, and she is not shy.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Father, this kang is really warm, didn't you sleep cold last night?"

"It's not cold. I feel warm when I wake up in the morning. It's really comfortable. It's warmer than the house..." Niu Gensheng said with a smile.

"But people can't sleep often, Dad, you'd better go back to sleep at night, the kitchen got a little windy last night so it's all right, if it's closed inadvertently in the future, people will die..." Shen Sisi warned.

"I know..." Zhong Gensheng replied, he was actually worried that He Axiu would be cold sleeping alone, it was because he drank too much last night that he couldn't help it, otherwise he would definitely go back to the house.

Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "In the future, there will be not only pig manure in the house, but also cow manure. The vegetable field in the backyard does not need to worry about fertilizer."

"Father, these can be used not only to fertilize the land, but also to fertilize the pond. When the pond is filled with water, let's sprinkle some pig manure or cow manure into it, so that it is good for raising fish..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

Zhong Gensheng has never heard of this method, but said: "Can pig manure be fed to fish?!"

Seeing his eyes widen, he smiled contemplatively, and said, "This is not directly feeding the fish, it's just that pig manure can produce a lot of plankton, which is food for fish..."

Zhong Gensheng shook his head and said, "I don't understand either, I've never raised fish before, Tu girl, did you read about it?!"

"Yeah..." Shen Sisi said with a smile, lying without changing his expression.

As for her literacy, both Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu always thought that Er Bao and Er Bao taught her, and it is not surprising that she occasionally flips through books.

"It's so good to read..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you... I can save some fertilizer at home..."

"Yeah..." Shen Sisi said with a smile: "Fish also eat. I will buy some wheat in the future, cook it and sprinkle some in it. You don't need to sprinkle too much, and it doesn't cost too much. Even if the fish is not sold , it is also very good for us to eat at home..."

Zhong Gensheng thought about it, then smiled relievedly, and said: "It's true, our family is not short of these silver coins now, and it's not bad to keep them for our own food. Besides, fish are not expensive in the market now. After all, this stuff is so common that everyone can grab it and eat it, and it’s cheaper than meat..."

He thought about it and said: "I bought six fish at the market today, I'm afraid they died, Tu girl, you and Xiaohua will deal with them later, and eat them tonight..."

"Success..." Shen Sisi responded, smiled, and said, "I also want to eat pickled fish, I'm so tired of eating meat every day..."

Zhong Gensheng laughed.Niu Xiaohua smiled and said, "Tu Niu, if the people in the village hear what you said, I don't know what to say..."

Only the Zhong family dared to say that when they were tired of eating meat, otherwise, it would be a slap in the face.

Zhong Gensheng and Shen Sisi just laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere of eating was extremely harmonious.

Shen Sisi also lamented that now when he was eating, he didn't change his face when he picked up pig manure, and he could still eat, and the food was delicious.

Sure enough, it has been integrated into life here.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the cheers of Er Gouzi and the others sounded in the yard. Shen Sisi was taken aback and said, "It's really early to come back today..."

After speaking, he put down the bowl and left the kitchen first.

Er Gouzi and the others were all excited when they saw her eyes lit up, as if they were seeing the God of Wealth, and said: "Tu Niu, Tu Niu, today's stewed meat is really good, we sell all six baskets It's all gone, and all dried dried meat is sold out..."

Shen Sisi smiled, and said: "Don't be too happy too early, just after the new year, people in the city lack taste, it's normal to sell fast now, but after the first month, I'm afraid it will be slow, you have to be mentally prepared , when the weather is warmer, you have to bring a meal in the morning, or you have to eat there, it is too expensive to eat in the city..."

After all, the consumption in the city is still too expensive for them.

Er Gouzi and the others listened and nodded, but they still looked happy.

Dabao was also happy, and gave them wages, fifty cents each, and was obviously very excited to see them rushing home with bright eyes.

Sibao still has that expressionless face, so he probably doesn't care no matter how well the sales are, because he... has no wages? ! !

Seeing that Er Gouzi and the others had money every day, he really... had an indescribable feeling, even gouged out his heart for contemplation.

But I only dare to think about it, and dare not do it.

"How much did you earn today?!" Shen Sisi asked in a low voice.

Dabao wrote down the account book, handed it to her happily and said, "Braised meat plus dried stewed meat, the total net profit is [-] to [-] Wen..."

Shen Sisi smiled lightly, and took back the 14 taels of silver that he had received into the space. The seven taels to eight hundred taels was the net profit after removing all costs. He could earn so much by selling just this one day. Dabao was already very satisfied, so Shen Sisi naturally It's not too much money, plus other things, base material, marinade bag... At least 60 taels of net profit a day, this is something that everyone in the Zhong family couldn't even imagine before.

In the past, the Zhong family had worked so hard for a year that they could not have a single penny left. Now... thinking of the days they lived in the past, it seems like a dream.

"Hurry up and eat..." Zhong Gensheng was also very happy, and he smiled and led them into the kitchen.As soon as they entered, they felt a burst of warmth. The two of them were already hungry, so they stuffed their mouths with the rice served by Niu Xiaohua.

Niu Xiaohua blushed and said: "...eat slowly, there is still a lot in the pot."

Dabao also blushed, did not dare to look at her, and continued to eat and eat vegetables.

Seeing the two of them like this, Shen Sisi smiled cheerfully in her heart.

After Niu Xiaohua finished her meal, she blushed and hurried to He Axiu's room to collect the bowls.

Now the rice that Zhong’s family eats is polished rice, the cheapest kind of rice, and black noodles, Shen Sisi will not buy it again even if he is killed, but well, this rice and white noodles are really delicious, no matter what you do They are all delicious, at least there are no impurities in them. There are often unknown objects in the black noodles, and if you eat them, you will hurt your teeth. It is really helpless, and there is no nutrition...

Now that the food is good, everyone in the family is flushed, and even Niu Xiaohua's complexion is much better.

Zhong Gensheng continued to eat, smiling and watching the delicious food of the children, Dabao and Sibao were growing up, at least three bowls of rice for one person, and a lot of dishes were wiped out, but Zhong Gensheng watched is very satisfied.

Now, let's not talk about how good the family is, but at least everyone doesn't have to save a bite for their loved ones, and the children can eat enough. Zhong Gensheng is really happy in his heart.

After dinner, Niu Xiaohua washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, then went to the cowshed to tease the calf. She also brought a robe. They all get along very well. Probably the cow is one of the most docile animals, so I don’t reject this wild robe. The calf has a great time playing with it. The robe has found a playmate, and now it even runs away from time to time. Going to the cowshed, occasionally grabbing fodder with the calf...

It's almost like playing with fun, the calf is still young, not sure, and I can play with it even more.

In the afternoon when Butcher Wang came to kill the pigs, the family got busy again. Shen Sisi put spring water for He Axiu to make medicine. The car is here...

Entering the courtyard of Zhong's house with a flattering smile, Zhong Gensheng didn't have any special reaction, he just poured tea for him and didn't say anything.

Zhong Genhou also knew that he and this brother had already parted ways, and basically had no feelings for him, so he was not polite, but said: "After two days of driving, we finally arrived, and the road is not so easy now, Gensheng, I brought my money here, and I didn’t stay here any longer. I packed the marinade bag and prepared to go back. Now that the Chinese New Year is just over, it’s not cheap to hire a car. Go back earlier and save some money..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded, called the Four Treasures, and said, "You and elder brother will make an account and collect the money."

These are handled by the Four Treasures, and Zhong Gensheng doesn't intervene.

Zhong Genhou just twitched the corners of his mouth, although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything, who made him beg his younger brother now.

Send a kid to deal with him, though.Still very official, Zhong Genhou felt very awkward no matter how he thought about it, but he still paid 60 taels of silver, received [-] packets of marinade, signed his calligraphy and painting, and then left.

Not to mention that he cobbled together the 60 taels of silver, Zhong Gensheng did not allow credit, and he couldn't, not to mention how difficult and expensive it was to hire a donkey cart, and it was not easy to prepare dry food. I can't even eat the hot ones, but I have cold big noodle cakes and cold boiled water every day...

What made him a little depressed was that he only had a sip of hot tea when he came in. Zhong Gensheng didn't even leave him with a meal, and he didn't even prepare dry food for him. Sixty packs were sixty packs, and he didn't give him a single pack... …

All of this made Zhong Genhou feel uncomfortable and angry, thinking that after all, he is a real brother, so why is he not as good as an outsider, even if an outsider buys these things, he has to be polite and leave a meal, and he will also send two extra packets of stewed food ? !
In the end, there was nothing... The calmness and indifference made one's heart chill.

Zhong Genhou carried the marinade bag to the car with a stomach full of anger, and left without saying anything.

Zhong Gensheng was expressionless, and after a long time, he sighed faintly.

People's hearts are not enough, if you get used to it, I'm afraid this big brother will push his nose and face even more in the future, it's better... just be so cold and indifferent.

Anyway, in this lifetime, the relationship between the brothers will never be repaired, and he doesn't want to bother, Zhong Genhou is probably used to looking down on his younger brother, no matter how good he is in the future, if he smiles more politely, it won't change anything, why not ...Fade it down, and less communication in the future.

However, he wants to come once a month... Zhong Gensheng thought for a while, and said: "Sibao, when he comes every month from now on, you will trade with him like this..."

"Success..." Sibao replied.But he murmured in his heart that he didn't blame Zhong Gensheng for what he did. This Zhong Genhou probably didn't see his younger brother at all. He came to the door again without bringing anything. Even if he brought a few worthless candies to the children, it would at least prove that he This uncle has nephews.result……

Thinking about his own destiny, Sibao also felt that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it is not easy for everyone.Thinking about it, his face became much quieter, he handed over the money to Shen Sisi, checked the account book, and resigned himself to grinding the stewed bag... Work and no wages, this is probably his fate, to meet this local girl , I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune...
