Splendid little maid

Chapter 38
As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, there was a sudden crackling sound outside, crackling endlessly.

"Mother-in-law, it's been ringing outside this early in the morning, what are you doing?"

Chen Xi asked with doubts.

Mrs. Zhang looked up to that side, sighed and said: "I heard that the good news that the Second Young Master was elected has come back, and he will return soon. The whole house is preparing to celebrate, and they also said that they want to rejoice along the way. Go to the bad luck in the mansion."

They are all the young masters of the Huang family. Now the eldest son of the big house has made a successful start and has entered the business circle, and the second son has won the imperial examination.

Compared with them, think about the third young master who is now helpless.

It's also really sad.

How can we survive the fight?

Mrs. Zhang thought anxiously, feeling that there was really no way out.

celebrate?

tips?

Big portion? !

Chen Xi felt a pain in his heart when he heard the words, thinking that if he was still outside, he might be able to fish in troubled waters and get a few more rewards. Now that he is trapped here, he doesn't know if he can live or how. The future is bleak.

Sighing too much is useless.

When Chen Xi saw that the sky was bright, he said: "Okay, I get it, it's getting late, mother-in-law, you should go back first, lest people find out that you often come and go here, the news outside depends entirely on you to inquire, the third young master is still there." I'm taking care of the east courtyard."

She herself must live, and in this case, nothing will happen to the third young master.

Mrs. Zhang kept nodding her head when she saw her steady and down-to-earth appearance, and said: "Hey, old lady, the only one I can trust is Miss Magpie, please take care of the third young master, my old lady will really pray for you day and night. "

Seeing this, Chen Xi sighed inwardly, and said, "Mother-in-law, take care of yourself."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, wiped her tears, and then limped towards the opposite alley.

Seeing her leave, Chen Xi bent down to pick up the small bundle, untied the bundle and saw that there were snacks, boiled eggs and a few taels of brown sugar inside.

This is already the best thing Mrs. Zhang can get, and it's all her heart.

Chen Xi put it away carefully.

It's late.

Chen Xi turned here today, and he had to go back depending on the weather, otherwise those little kids in the courtyard should be worried about her, lest there will be another mess later.

Chilling wind.

Chen Xi walked back against the corner of the wall with a trace of passing coldness, thinking in his heart.

But because of Mrs. Zhang's conversation, her mind became more and more froze.

Chen Xi shook his head to clear out the messy thoughts, ready to take it step by step.

Now they are going to be banned for a month, so they have to solve their own food and clothing expenses during this month, and they don't know how long those supplies can support them.

Chen Xi thought that when he went back, he needed to take stock of everything so that he could arrange follow-up.

When she went around the corner and returned to the yard, before she stepped into the door, she heard Fuzhu wailing there: "What to do, what to do, there is still no one outside the gate, why are they not here? We are really going to die here?"

really.

After all nothing.

It was also expected.

Hearing this, Chen Xi lifted his feet and walked inside, and replied calmly: "Fuzhu is right, at least no one will open the door for us within this month, and I just met Mrs. Zhang."

The small hall of the main house.

Fuzhu and Yu'er saw that Chen Xirui seemed to have found a backbone, and hurried over to him.

Chen Xi briefly explained the situation.

Blocked for a month.

They have lost their minds.

Yu'er couldn't help worrying when he heard this: "I went through the food just now, how can it be enough for a month, it's enough to eat for half a month, how can I survive for half a month?"

Fuzhu looked sad, and said anxiously, "It's over, it's over, sister Magpie, look, how can such a little food be enough for the five of us?"

The two of them just took advantage of the time to move everything here.

Yu'er didn't wait for Chen Xi to ask, and explained: "Sister, the two wing rooms over there are uninhabitable, and there is a rain leak in the house, and it is wet everywhere. Fortunately, everything that is afraid of water is covered with tarpaulin, otherwise the Maybe it's all soaked."

It's really a house leak that happens to rain all night.

Everything is piled up,
Chen Xi raised his forehead and said: "You are right, move everything to the main room first, let's squeeze in for a few days, and when the weather clears, I will find some things to mend."

Hearing this, Fuzhu happily embraced Chen Xi's arm, and praised sweetly: "Sister Magpie, can you still repair the roof? You are too capable! What can you not do? You are too reliable." , Great, then we don’t have to be afraid!”

Yu'er also happily said: "Then I will help you, Sister Magpie!"

Chen Xi nodded when he heard the words, looked at the things in the room, and said, "Have you brought all the things here? If not, I'll follow you two more times?"

Yu'er hurriedly said: "They're all here, they're all here, sister, don't worry."

Chen Xi bent down and began to search for things to tidy up, then smiled and said: "How can we not worry? There are still many things to do, let's sort them out and see how long we can last."

Seeing this, Yu'er and Fuzhu said hello to each other, and then began to work hard to classify.

Chen Xi directly asked Fuzhu to sort out the fabrics, Yu'er sorted out the odds and ends, and she sorted out the food herself, and finally everyone worked together.

Finally sorted out.

There were nine bolts of cloth, one for the four of them, and the remaining five belonged to the third young master, a set of new tailoring tools, five baskets of high-quality charcoal, and a silver fox cloak.

The staple food is [-] catties of polished rice, [-] catties of white flour, and [-] catties of coarse grain noodles.

Seasonings include one catty of coarse salt, one catty of fine salt, three catties of brown sugar, half catty of balsamic vinegar, two catties of rapeseed oil, one catty of sauce, two catties of rice wine, and two catties of ginger and garlic.

The meat includes three catties of pork belly, two killed reed chickens, one big black fish, ten catties of bacon, sausages and pork ribs, and one cured rabbit.

Vegetables include a big pumpkin weighing five or six catties, seven or eight large white radishes, six Chinese cabbages, two lotus roots, and the rest are some green leafy vegetables.

Chen Xi did some calculations and found that if they wanted to eat enough, they would only be able to feed them for half a month, but if they saved a little, they could barely last for a month.

But then he would become malnourished and exhausted like the third young master.

If others bully again, they can only let others bully.

After all, I have no strength.

Chen Xi feels that it is very insecure to have no fighting power, so he must eat enough food, and only when he is full can he have the strength to deal with other things.

So she made up her mind and said: "It's not too much or too little, let's do it! Let's not be too frugal, we should eat enough, where does the strength come from if people don't eat enough? As long as you don't waste it, the rest Think about things slowly when you have physical strength!"

Both Yu'er and Fuzhu listened to Chen Xi's words, and they felt very reasonable when they heard what she said.
