Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 162
These days passed in a mediocre way, and Liao Qing really never came again.

Tian Xiaowu also honestly leaves early and returns late every day, and Tian Xiaoyu's grudge against him is gradually decreasing.

Finally, the walnuts on the back mountain were all gone, and even the walnut forest behind Zhang Dequan's ancestral house was almost gone.

The collected walnuts should be dried in time, otherwise the inside will be broken.

Tian Xiaoyu and Liu Yingchun's family, together with Aunt Ye and Qiaomei, stayed up all night for several nights, and completed this arduous task in the big iron pot in their own kitchen.

When more than a dozen baskets of dried walnuts were neatly piled up, the pride in my heart couldn't stop coming out.

Tian Xiaoyu had already told Xiao Lezi before, to ask him to bring a few more people with him when he comes next time, as a carriage cannot fit in it.

Two days after the walnuts had dried, Xiao Lezi really brought people here, pulling three carriages in total.

Seeing the full bamboo baskets in the yard, he smiled and greeted Tian Xiaoyu, "Miss Gu, what kind of good things did you get? Our shopkeeper was still talking about it a few days ago, saying that it's autumn, and the grocery store A lot of things inside are not very easy to sell.”

"Walnut, you wait, I'll get some for you to taste, Yun Qing, pour water for Brother Xiaolezi and the others." Tian Xiaoyu beckoned a few people to sit down, and then asked Gu Yunqing to pour water, and he really poured the morning water The prepared amber walnuts came out on a plate.

Everyone saw the crystal clear saccharin wrapped in something unknown on the white porcelain plate, but smelled it from a distance, it was indeed a strange fragrance.

Xiao Lezi knew Tian Xiaoyu acquainted, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss Gu has something good again, Xiao Lezi, I am really lucky."

"Taste it quickly. This plate of good food is made of walnuts. I'm going to Zuixianlou in a few days. If you want to eat it later, it will be expensive." Tian Xiaoyu saw Xiao Lezi's expression Greedy, couldn't help laughing.

Gu Yunqing didn't like socializing very much, but he still stayed by Tian Xiaoyu's side, standing there quietly.

Xiao Lezi and the others hurriedly picked up the amber walnut and put it in their mouths. It was sweet and crisp, and there is no better adjective than this word.

Everyone was full of praise, and Xiao Lezi's clever tongue almost made Tian Xiaoyu a flower.

After eating and drinking enough, he started to work. He loaded more than a dozen baskets of walnuts into the carriage. Tian Xiaoyu wrote the price on the paper and gave it to Xiao Lezi, asking him to take it to Xie Shi, and naturally Understand.

These guys are all illiterate. In order to avoid making random quotations, Tian Xiaoyu didn't tell Xiaolezi directly, and Tian Xiaoyu wrote an Arabic numeral indistinctly under the note. Wait two days to go to the town to check this note. , you will know what is going on.

After sending everyone away, Tian Xiaoyu's heart was relieved a lot, and it was a considerable income. Although the night market stalls were closed, the money Yueyue got from the grocery store was also worth it. Enough to live at home.

Not to mention, there is also the high-priced recipe money given by Zuixianlou.

The day gradually settled down, and the weather gradually cooled down.

The clothes on my body are getting thicker every day, and I will shiver from the cold even if I don't cover a few more layers of quilts at night.

But fortunately, Gu Yunqing has a high body temperature, like a big stove. At night, he sleeps next to Tian Xiaoyu's Yuanbao, and he is always warm.

In the end, Gu Yunqing became a bed warmer, and Tian Xiaoyu pushed him to the kang every morning to keep warm.

The family didn't stock up on firewood yet, so they didn't dare to burn the kang lightly. After this burning, they would burn through the winter.

Tian Xiaoyu discussed with Gu Yunqing and asked him to look for firewood sellers, buy some firewood and store it in the miscellaneous room in the backyard. It's almost November now, and it's time to prepare for winter food something happened.

In fact, Tian Xiaoyu didn't know about this, but Liu Yingchun kept it in mind when she talked about stockpiling food and firewood every day.

As soon as the two of them settled on this matter, Aunt Ye mentioned this when they were working the next day.

Qiaomei played with Yuanbao in the yard, and Aunt Ye took Tian Xiaoyu to sew a quilt in the house, and suddenly said while sewing, "Little fish, it's time to stock up on food and firewood these days, the snow is heavy in winter Yes, sometimes the roads are closed.”

Tian Xiaoyu paused for a while with the needlework on his hands, and said with a smile, "I told Yun Qing yesterday that he went out to buy firewood today. This firewood chopping is a laborious job. There are many women in our family. I thought about it." It’s still a good deal to buy some, we are not short of that money.”

Aunt Ye has always been a frugal person, but she didn't object. Hearing what she said, she felt in the pocket of this clothes, took a lot of copper coins and said to Tian Xiaoyu, "What you said is that you can use the money, although not much."

Tian Xiaoyu couldn't pick it up, and quickly refused, "Auntie, what are you doing? Hurry up, hurry up, we have all the money, don't worry."

"I know you have some, but this is my wish. Those who cook and burn kang this winter don't need a lot of money. You can use it." Seeing that she didn't want it, Aunt Ye insisted.

Tian Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Ma'am, you're out of touch now. I gave you the money for selling walnuts a few days ago, and you don't want it. Now you still have to give me the money. I don't know what to say."

"Hey, how can I ask for your money? Meizi and I live here, eat here, how can I ask for your money." Aunt Ye became anxious when she heard this.

After Tian Xiaoyu persuaded her again and again, Aunt Ye took the money back.

This Gu Yunqing just bought more than 100 catties of firewood, five cents a catty, and heaped up the miscellaneous room in the backyard.

In order to avoid rain leakage, when the house was being repaired, a roof was added to the old house and repaired, and it was planned to be used for raising chickens and pigs in the future.

But seeing that there was no food in his field and no pigs at home, Tian Xiaoyu thought about hoarding winter food, so he followed Gu Yunqing to the town several times, bought a lot of rice noodles, oil, and seasonings, and went home. Only then did I feel at ease.

Waiting for the food to be stocked up, it's already November, and the weather is getting colder.

Tian Xiaowu didn't make a fuss at Gu's house. Although he was not very talkative, he didn't do anything wrong.

One day, for some reason, Yuan Bao insisted on wanting to eat fish soup, but Tian Xiaoyu was embarrassed.

"Mom, I don't care, I don't care, I just want to eat fish soup." Yuan Bao's mouth is so pouted at this moment that he could hang an oil bottle.

Tian Xiaoyu patted his little head helplessly, and said, "It's so cold, where can mother find fish for you?"

I can't, I can't let Gu Yunqing go to the river to basket fish, the weather is cold, although the river is not frozen, but the biting cold water is scary to touch.
