Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 169 The Idea of ​​Changing the Way

Chunqiu's original intention was to digest food, so she fell asleep in a daze until the night without realizing it. When she woke up, she was surprised to find that her stomach hadn't collapsed, but was still bulging. How much she could eat!
Chunqiu originally wanted to roll around on the kang, but gave up in time, after all, it would be bad if it crushed his stomach.

"Qiu'er, Qiu'er, are you at home?"

Ok?Chunqiu was startled, and then raised his head to look at the wall beside him, as if he could stare at the wall, Chunqiu blinked, she heard it right, it seemed to be her uncle's voice?

"I'm at home" Chunqiu replied, even if it was really her uncle, she still had to talk.

Hearing a creaking sound from the door, it should be that the door was pushed open.

Taking advantage of her uncle's mother not coming in, Chunqiu leaned on the edge of the kang and sat up.

"Hey, what is Qiu'er doing?" As expected, it was her uncle, Chunqiu looked at the smiling woman in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

After listening to Mrs. Gu's words, Chunqiu first smiled shyly, and then asked, "Auntie, what are you doing here? My mother is out and not at home."

Chunqiu thought that her uncle was here to find her mother, Yuan Shi, and she just got up, and her mother was not in the house, so she went out.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu waved her hands again and again, "No, my aunt is here to look for you, that..." Mrs. Gu said this, rubbing her hands in embarrassment, Chunqiu looked at Mrs. Gu, tilting her head curiously, "That... Qiu'er, my aunt just wanted to ask, today is your recipe for making crabs...can you tell my aunt about it?" Mrs. Gu took two deep breaths, and said directly the words she had prepared in her stomach out.

Today, the crab sent by Mrs. Yuan is really delicious, and everyone in their family likes it very much, so Mrs. Gu came up with the idea of ​​crabs again. She dared to come here because Mrs. Yuan was away, otherwise...she really didn't like it. Good to speak.

"Auntie wants the recipe for crabs." Chunqiu heard Gu's words, and said without saying a word, "It's easy, uncle, you just... like this..." Chunqiu told Gu's all the crab recipes, No secrets at all.

In the end, Chunqiu was afraid that Mrs. Gu would not believe it, and suggested that she would do it again at noon tomorrow, so Mrs. Gu could come over.

Gu did not expect that Chunqiu would tell her all the recipes so easily, and she was a little silly for a while. According to her thinking, she might have to coax her.

Chunqiu looked at the aunt with a smile, and then sent her out of the door under the vainly excited face of the other party.

When Yuan came back at night, Chunqiu told her mother about it.

Yuan Shi was taken aback, and then asked, "Niu Niu, don't you feel bad? This may be sold for money." Why is her family's money-obsessed daughter willing to give it to Fang Zi?Don't doubt it, Yuan's is just pure suspicion, after all, their family is not short of such money now.

"Hehe" Chunqiu laughed silly, and then continued, "There are not many crabs by the river in our village, only that one. Even if my aunt wants to sell them, she can't make much money. It's not easy to transport crabs on the road. Save... The most important thing is that it's too troublesome, and being a crab is tiring." Chunqiu directly listed many reasons with her mother, and the last excuse made Yuan Shi a little dumbfounded. This little girl, her feelings are too troublesome for her.

"Then what if your uncle sells the recipe directly to those big restaurants in the town? This is a good deal," Yuan continued to tease.

"No." Chunqiu shook his head affirmatively, "Auntie will definitely sell it by herself, because she doesn't trust others." That's right, as far as Chunqiu knows, Mrs. Gu is a person with a lot of eyes, especially when it comes to money. If she sells the prescription, the first thing she considers is that the other party has no tigers to lower the price, so... her uncle will definitely not sell it.

Seeing the swearing expression on her daughter's face, Yuan Shi rarely refuted. She had to admit that what her daughter said was quite right.

It's like eating a novelty and becoming addicted. Because of the deliciousness of crabs, since Chunqiu made a crab meal, the Yang family has fallen in love with the taste of crabs.

From the second day onwards, not only Dafang was catching crabs from the river every day, but even their second bedroom began to live a life of eating crabs, crab and cabbage soup, crab mixed with mashed potatoes, crispy salted crab, crab meat bun... Wait, wait, as long as Chunqiu thinks of it, it will be made into food and put into the stomach of the family.

At noon the next day, Mrs. Gu ran over to learn a hand with Chunqiu. After feeling that her skills were similar, she left satisfied.

Chunqiu didn't care too much, after all, she really didn't want to sell crabs, especially this kind of crabs would die and stink if they left the water, well, anyway, her aunt is very honest these days, so let's take it as a gift for her.

Chunqiu didn't know how her uncle's mother was selling, but looking at the other party's smiling face these days, it seemed that she had gained a lot.

Her mother, Yuan Shi, even deliberately teased her, asking her if she didn't regret it, Chunqiu raised her head proudly, is that the kind of person who regrets it?Really, her mother underestimated her too much, besides crabs, she has other ways to make money.

The spring and autumn days are the same as usual. I went to the mountain before noon, dug some Chinese herbs and returned, and dried the dug herbs.

Today I went to the mountain to dig a lot of medicine, Chunqiu was a bit tired, when I got home, Chunqiu found a shady place in the yard, and was going to sit down and rest for a while.

Some of the vegetables planted in the yard are already ripe, some are already old, Chunqiu sees those old ones as an eyesore, remembering her mother’s previous request, Chunqiu gets up, and pulls off the leaves of the vegetables that are too old to eat, Throw it into the chicken rack to feed the grown chicks. The chicks raised this spring are already able to lay eggs. There are quite a few of them in their family. Not only does her mother, Yuan Shi, not only don’t need to spend money to buy eggs from other people’s homes, Eggs are also available for takeaway.

After Chunqiu came back, he dug some quicklime powder up the mountain and made two jars of preserved eggs and preserved eggs. When Chunqiu opened it to check it a few days ago, he found that it was ready. Chunqiu boiled a few and tasted it. It tastes good with homemade cold dishes.

No, Spring and Autumn made a few new jars yesterday. Anyway, they have a lot of eggs, and if they make more eggs, they can be sold in the town for money!
Chunqiu swayed to the left and ran around in the yard, feeding the chickens for a while, and teasing the dogs for a while. By the way, his father bought a big wolfdog from Zhuzi’s house at the entrance of the village this year, and tied it directly to the gate of the yard. It has been Chunqiu now. It's so big, Chunqiu named it Xiaohei, since Xiaohei came here, Chunqiu's leftover food at home has a place to go, her mother Yuan also joked that the dog is good, at least the food at home Don't waste it!
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei..."

"Wow... woof... woof..."
