Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 134

After the beginning of winter, it became colder, and Wanwan's body has improved a lot. He is not as afraid of the cold as he was in the previous three months, and all kinds of reactions have gradually disappeared. His appetite is still not open, but it is not like before. The taste makes you want to vomit.Xiaoxue didn’t snow that day, but the dry wind blew all day, the sleeves whistling, the wind shot straight into the seam of the neck as if it had eyes, making people shiver involuntarily. neck.

Her skin was also a little chapped, but fortunately, Wanwan had bought some moisturizing products earlier, which were very expensive, she bought them at a rouge shop, and it cost a tael of silver.However, I seldom wipe my face at ordinary times. Pregnant women should avoid these things!However, the hands that were blown by the dry wind were cracked, so I touched a little on my hands.

On the day of the heavy snow, it really snowed.Although it is not big, this is the first snow since the beginning of winter this year. I wrapped myself in three layers inside and outside like a pupa, and put a thick cotton jacket on the outside. It was much warmer, but It's stupid to do things.

Baishou didn't plan to buy new clothes this year, the two clothes last year were brand new.Laisheng only had two old cotton-padded jackets, so that day Baishou went to the market to buy two new ones for him. He was so happy that Laishang laughed all the time, he was very happy, thinking of how he and his grandfather used to be. It's hard, I don't know how many years I haven't bought a new padded jacket!As for the two old ones, Wan Wan disassembled them, and the contents inside can still be used. When the sun shines, I will go to the market to pick some cloth and fill them in, and it will be another new dress. .

This year she is pregnant so naturally she can no longer sell cakes. One day Baishou went to the market and met those stalls on the street. They used to know each other when they set up stalls together, and asked him if he sold cakes?
Since they didn't sell them, the pastry sellers at the old stalls learned how to make other flavors of biscuits. The two of them didn't sell them. At this time, their business has improved a lot.

Fortunately, they started to store carbon early. On the day of Daxue, Baishou officially fired the carbon basin, which was full of three large tanks of carbon, and they were used while storing. At night, two houses were burned at the same time. I think this winter will not be a big problem.

Only after they moved down from the mountain, the two of them seldom went to the old house on the mountain, but they would still go up to clean it whenever they had free time. After all, it was the place where Baishou had lived for decades.The house will become more and more old if no one lives in it for a long time, and almost all the things inside have been moved down, leaving two old stools and a square table. The chicken coop outside the house is still quite strong after the wind and rain these days of.The most eye-catching thing is the row of wild flowers and weeds outside the house, the longer the better.

Seeing that it's November, and two more months will be New Year's Eve, Wanwan can't help but lament how quickly the days go by.And shopkeeper Yu of the restaurant specially sent a steward from the village to inform Wanwan that in a few days, someone would be arranged to buy the pork so that the village could prepare it. After selling the pork, the next thing he faced was to make bacon for the restaurant.

The steward knew each other well, and the sauced meat was already cooked in Zhuangzi in the first half of the year.

Wanwan smiled and thanked: "I'm so sorry to thank the steward for making this trip. Please tell Shopkeeper Yu that there are dozens of households in the village that keep their pigs. There must be dozens of pigs. I will arrange it. It's time to come here."

Manager Xie smiled and said, "That's good, that's good, then I'll bring someone to pull the pigs in a few days."

"All right."

After Steward Xie left, he went to the back of the house to look at his two pigs, because they bought them earlier than other people in the village, so now there are more than two hundred pigs apiece.Then closed the door and went to Yuanbao's house, Baishou and Laisheng went to the mountain.She had to notify herself.

"Is it really from Zhuangzi? I just saw that the steward looks familiar, isn't it true?" Yuan Baoniang saw that steward Xie went to Wanwan's house, and she guessed it might be the pig's business.

"That's right, don't we just look forward to this day for the pigs we have raised for a year? However, I have to trouble my sister-in-law to ask for me. Some people in the village have sold their pigs a few days ago. I don't know which ones are still unsold." Yes, if you are willing to sell it, prepare it."

Yuan Baoniang responded without thinking: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, you are inconvenient to move, you should avoid those winding roads."

"Then thank you sister-in-law. Although our village is not big, there are at least dozens of families. I will go to Li Shitou's house later, and ask Shitou's mother to help me to ask. It will be faster." Wanwan smiled. road.

"Okay." After thinking for a while, Yuan Baoniang said again: "But how much is this hairy pork per catty, so I can tell others when the time comes."

"I won't lose everyone, our family sells it ourselves, three copper coins."

"Then the price is not bad. I heard that there were only two copper coins in some places a few days ago."

"Well, it will definitely be higher near the end of the year, but it won't be higher than three copper coins at most."

According to the rules over the years, this is almost the case, unless there are some major events in the celestial dynasty that affect the economy, then prices may fluctuate.After talking to Yuan Baoniang a few more times, Wanwan went to Shitou's house.

After Wan Wan left, Yuan Baoniang greeted Grandma Yuan Bao and went out.

Grandma Yuan Bao sat on the threshold of the main room and sighed leisurely: "What a capable girl! Hey, she is also a kind girl."

When they arrived at Shitou's house, both Yang Kaishi and Lingzi were there.

"Ah, it's such a coincidence that today's miscellaneous is here."

Seeing Wanwan, Reiko immediately put down the things on her hands and made a gesture to help her.

Wanwan smiled and waved to her: "It's all right, it's not so delicate."

Yang Kaishi took a stool and asked to sit down, Shitou Niang sat down next to her, and said at the same time: "That is, you are different now, you better be careful." Then he said: "You haven't come to our house for a long time , do you think about it today?"

"How dare I come, look at your posture just now, if I want to come often, I won't be able to exhaust you half to death. I will be guilty at that time." Wanwan pursed his lips, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyebrows slightly Raise it up, looking a little tangled.

The other two couldn't help laughing, Shitou Niang stretched out her hand and twisted her arm, of course it was just a gesture, she didn't really exert any force, and Wan Wan also grinned and yelled twice, as if it really hurt of.

Seeing her like that, Shitou Niang gave her a sharp look, and said solemnly: "You who have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, tell me what you have to do!"

Wanwan smiled, and then told about the pig sale.

"It's already agreed to sell it in two days?" Shitou Niang said happily.

"Yeah, that's why I'm here to trouble you, other people have to ask you to ask for me." Wan Wan said.

"Okay, okay, no problem, why don't you just run an errand?" Shitou Niang responded with a smile. Two days ago, she and her husband were still saying that they didn't know when the pig would be sold. Now that the other party has come to agree It's also a big deal.

"However, we all thought that it might be a few more days. Isn't it two months before the Chinese New Year?"

Wanwan smiled: "It's a bit early for us, but there is not much time for the restaurant. Think about it, the pig has been slaughtered, and it takes time to dry it after marinating. When the meat is smoked, the restaurant will still be ready." We have to arrange for people to be transported to various places, and the calculation time is still a bit tight."

That's true, Shitou Niang smiled and said: "Then I will inform the others immediately."

Then the two of them went out together, and after returning from Shitou's house, Wanwan lay on the bed straight away, running around for a while with a full stomach was really tiring.

When Baishou and Laisheng came back, Wanwan was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.When she woke up, it was already dark, and there was a bowl beside the bed, which contained a steamed bun, which was already a bit cold, but she smelled it was quite fragrant.There should be some vegetables in the flour, maybe green onions.

At first she thought it was made by Baishou, but later she found out that the bun was made of wheat grass for the next life.To be precise, this brat has a dog's nose, which is even smarter than a dog's nose. He smelled the fragrance from Mai Cao's house and ran in by himself, and then Mai Cao gave him a few pieces of ready buns.

He is not very smart in the next life, so some people in the village will always laugh at him, but the girl Mai Cao has never looked down on him since the first time she saw him.Maybe giving him things usually means sympathy and pity.She would think this way, and Wanwan felt that it might be related to her own experience since she was a child. She was an unfortunate person, so she was more tolerant to other people.

But anyway, Mai Cao is a girl, and no matter how dull her brain is in the next life, she will be a grown man, and Xiangxiu is often not at home, so if any rumors are spread, it will be bad for both of them.

So during dinner, Wan Wan severely criticized Lai Sheng and told him not to go to Mai Cao's house casually in the future. With this kid's intelligence, no matter how much you explain to him, he may not understand, so Wan Wan had to use force. Lai Sheng was very reluctant. , but finally agreed with pouting.

On the second day, Yuan Baoniang and Shitou Niang came.

"Let's count, there are more than 60 households in the village. Except for the special two or three households that did not raise pigs, all others have raised pigs. Some of them have been sold a few days ago, and some are not yet ready for sale. In this way, the total There are thirty households left, basically each household has two pigs, exactly sixty."

There are sixty pigs, at least one pig weighs more than 200 catties, adding up to more than 1 catties.

"Everyone is satisfied with the price. We have discussed it. If we ask everyone to go out for a few days, we must keep someone at home." Shitou Niang said with a smile.

"Have you settled on who will go to work in Zhuangzi?" Wanwan asked.

"As I said, quite a few people are still willing to go. However, the exact number has not yet been determined, and we will know in the afternoon." Yuan Baoniang said.

"Yeah. But this time is a little different from last time. We have to be responsible from the beginning to the end, and we may have to follow people to Zhuangzi to help later." Wanwan thought for a while.

This time they not only need to wipe the material, but also smoke, including daily drying, until the end, it is more troublesome than last time, and it will be the same in the future.

Yuan Baoniang nodded: "I have told them all this, and there is no objection to those who want to go."

In the afternoon, Yuan Baoniang and her two reported the number of people who were going to Wanwan. Except for those who followed in the first half of the year, some households that sold pigs went, and some households that did not sell pigs also went. There were thirty people in total.Almost all women, some older and some younger.

Two days later, Guanshi Xie came with his men, followed by three ox carts pulling pigs.Wan Wan politely invited Steward Xie to sit in the room.Manager Xie politely declined, and stopped her from making tea: "It's important, let's get the pig thing done first, and the shopkeeper is still waiting for me to go back and have a conversation."

"Okay then!" Wanwan responded quickly, but in fact she was only polite.

　Thanks to the book of indulgence, tochengna hazy distance dear friends' fan tickets...

　　I've been lying in bed for the past two days, and I haven't been on the computer much. I can only type on my mobile phone. Not to mention the speed, I'm a tortoise. .It's really cold at home. After wearing three layers of inner and outer layers, I still feel cold in my arms when lying on the bed.

　　If you want to get out of bed, you have to first pull and weigh the clothes that are piled up under the quilt, then remove the pajamas that are covered on it, and then take off the blanket that is draped behind, and then lift the quilt layer by layer.Halo, three quilts, God knows how cold I am? ? ?It happened that my husband came back at some time and was standing at the door. He looked at me in a strange way, and then he took the clothes and quilts away layer by layer, and finally asked me: "What are you doing?"

　　I said, "Go to the toilet."

　　He froze for a moment, then laughed loudly, and said, "Why are you like a cicada wrapped in a chrysalis?"
