Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 233 Good Year
Wanwan is also happy, this year one hundred pigs is a lot of money, the contract price for one pig is three taels of silver, and one hundred pigs is 300 taels.Fifty people were invited, each paid 25 coppers, [-] people equaled [-] coppers, which was [-] taels of silver. Later, Wan Wan gave each person an extra [-] coppers, which was regarded as the Chinese New Year. As a reward, for a good job, I gave another [-] copper coins in a down-to-earth manner.

After excluding the condiments and so on, at most it would not cost 50 taels of silver. Calculated, they earned more than 200 taels of silver this time.

Wanwan carefully calculated the accounts with Baishou, his eyes were crooked with a smile, he didn't expect to raise the contract price, and earn so much at once, and he had to lose the business of the restaurant. With more than 200 taels of silver, they can already buy a second-tier house in the town, and there is still more than enough.

And this is just the money earned from making preserved goods, and the barbecue is not counted, and I don't know how much money is earned there.

For more than 200 taels of silver, they can buy other things after buying the yard. If this continues, they will be able to buy a better pavement next year.

But these are the big ones, and the trivial matters in front of me are the new year's goods for the new year.

In the past, Ouyang's family sent a lot of good cloth. You have to wear some good clothes for the New Year. Use that good cloth to make two clothes for the next life, and then use a piece of ordinary coarse cloth that feels better to make two clothes. Wear good clothes when leaving relatives, and he still has old clothes when he is working.

There are high requirements for wearing the middle clothes underneath, and they must be comfortable, so when the time comes, I will get some better fabrics from the fabric shop, and everyone in the family will make two suits. She and Baishou have not bought clothes for two years.Baishou also has to make two good clothes. As for herself, she can go to the fabric store in the town to choose.

Well, a suit is not enough, now that Mai Cao lives in their house, she has to make a suit for this girl anyway.

Speaking of Mai Cao, Wan Wan and Bai Capital didn't know what to do. Since that day when they lived in their house, Mai Cao got up first every day, made breakfast, and cleaned the yard. After breakfast, Wan Wan didn't wash the dishes , Occasionally helped her wash clothes after washing the dishes.

It's a bit embarrassing to let Wanwan be the master.

Facing such a diligent girl, how could they break her heart?How can we drive her away?She and Baishou also really felt that Maicao is working hard and treating everyone in the family with heart. She is so eager to stay, and only in this place can she feel safe and no longer have fear.

As a woman, how could she put such a young girl in danger?
Therefore, after discussing with Baishou, Wanwan and Baishou decided to let Mai Cao live in their house temporarily. They also discussed with the village chief, Mai Cao had reached the age of marriage, and asked Matchmaker Wang to see if there was a suitable husband's house.

Although Mai Cao's matter was a bit difficult, Matchmaker Wang still readily agreed.So, in any case, they must have a more lively and happier life this year than in previous years!
Linlin always listed some things that need to be bought, and the two couples sat on the bed and chatted happily!

At the end of the year, the mine also suspended mining, and only arranged for people to stay behind.From the dust sweeping day on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, everyone began to be busy before the year.

Wheatgrass didn't come home to live, but she still went back and cleaned the house.The next life helped Baishou lift the cabinets and other large furniture that could be moved into the yard, and then used a long stick with some thin bamboo branches and leaves tied to the top to use it as a long broom to clean the roof, corners, and dead corners of each room. The dust and cobwebs are all cleaned up.Mai Cao helped Wan Wan clean some of the furniture, and when the house was cleaned, Bai Shou and Lai Sheng moved the things into the house and put them away.

To go to the market on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family gets up early.After breakfast, he drove the ox cart to the market.

A few people went to the fabric store first, and Wanwan picked out two clothes for himself, and another two for Mai Cao. Mai Cao was very upset and insisted on paying for it herself, how could Wan Wan ask for her money.The owner of the cloth brought last time also helped to make it, and I was very happy with my four clothes in the next life.

After getting the clothes, a few people went to buy some vegetables for dinner, and cut the meat. There was a prepared chicken at home, because they had already discussed that this year, they would have barbecue like last year.After dinner, I had to buy some snacks. Wanwan only bought a few kinds of fruits that he liked, and picked four or five kinds of delicious preserved fruits from the dried fruit list.Wanwan asked Wheatgrass to pick it too, Wheatgrass shyly shook her head.

When you have money, you have to taste what it means to be rich and powerful. On the way to Wanwan, I said that everyone can buy whatever they like.So in the next life, I unceremoniously picked two things for the wheat grass.When paying the bill, they spent more than a dozen taels of silver, and several people were taken aback. Seeing the big package of snacks, Wan Wan suddenly felt that he really behaved like a nouveau riche!

It was rare to have such a fun time. When we went back, everyone was smiling.

Xiang Wu made two random dishes. After lunch, after the child fell asleep, Wan Wan took out the vegetables and meat, told the wheatgrass and the unborn which vegetables should be picked, how to wash them, and started to prepare the barbecue tools and seasonings by himself. And Baishou posted the couplets, went to the vegetable field to pick a few vegetables that Wanwan wanted, and then came back to help.

Picking vegetables, chopping meat, washing dishes, and stringing vegetables, Baishou set up a long wooden board in the yard, and several people were very busy on it.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened it, it turned out that shopkeeper Yu sent someone to give a New Year gift.

After cooperating with Fusheng Restaurant, it was the first time that Wanwan saw shopkeeper Yu being so generous. The carriage pulled by the servant was loaded with a bunch of gifts, all kinds of food, clothing, and things for use.Exquisite pastries, snacks, candies, and fresh fruits; two cloths that feel very good to the touch, that is, not the luxurious and luxurious cloths used by rich people, but better and more comfortable than those worn by country people. One for the woman; two beautiful little clothes for the child.

The table in the main room was covered with things, and everyone in the village was envious when they saw it. After the boy left, everyone came over with a smile and asked Wanwan: "Is this from 'Fusheng Restaurant'?"

Wan Wan said with a smile: "It was sent by shopkeeper Yu, saying that it was a New Year's gift for our family when the second young master prepared gifts for the powerful families last time." What is Xie Yi's identity?No matter how much I stopped by, there was no reason to stop by this corner of the countryside. It was obviously sent by someone on purpose.

Everyone was amazed one by one.

"Wow, look at how much this thing has been given away, this second young master is really generous."

"I don't care what the young master of the Xie family cares about, but the second young master really values ​​the Baishou family."

"Oh, that's right, why aren't we so lucky?"

While talking, someone looked straight into the yard, and then saw something in the yard, and said in surprise: "Ah, from the Baishou family, what are you doing?"

"Oh, for the New Year's Eve dinner, I don't want to eat dumplings this year in my next life, so I'm going to order something for the whole evening. No, it's better to carry it to the yard to see it more clearly!"

"Hey, what are those long bamboo sticks in my hands in the next life? Are they still strung together?"

"When this brat is not doing serious work, see if I don't peel his skin." Wanwan glanced at the next life, pretended to be angry, and then said to the crowd impatiently: "It's not long before the New Year's Eve dinner. It’s not far away, I have to rush to cook, I’ll talk to you guys at another time!”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Then everyone withdrew their gazes and dispersed.

Wan Wan closed the door, curled his lips, how could he not let outsiders know about barbecue.Then he said to Wheatgrass and Laisheng cautiously: "You guys remember that we can't mention this barbecue to anyone, you know?"

Wheatgrass is sensible and doesn't talk much, so she nods.

In the next life, he tilted his head and looked at her: "Why can't you say it? Look at how delicious we made it. No one in the village has eaten it. Why can't we say something so majestic?"

Wanwan secretly rejoiced that he reminded him first, otherwise he would be told about it in the next life, and when it reached Xie Xian's ears, he would have to make some bad news.She stared at the next life, and scolded with a straight face: "Why don't you listen to sister-in-law? Since sister-in-law must have a reason for saying this, if you want to eat better food in the future, you have to be obedient."

The next life straightened up immediately, and answered seriously: "Okay! I know, I will never say it." Turning his head to look at the straw, he said with a straight face, "You can't say it either."

Mai Cao was startled and nodded.

Ben was speechless.She trained him, and he ran to train the wheatgrass.

After skewering the dishes, setting up the charcoal pot, it was almost dark, sitting in the yard, the cold wind pierced into the neck like eyes, put the things in the main room, and closed the door of the main room, and then started to barbecue, The New Year's Eve dinner has begun.

On New Year's Eve, of course, one has to worship the ancestors. When Wanwan was busy preparing for the barbecue, Baishou took the next life to his grandfather's grave and burned paper money.Xiangxiu's is considered a new grave. Mai Cao went to build a new grave alone. When she came back, she was still in a low mood. Later, she was attracted by the barbecue, and the next life kept enlivening the atmosphere. Gradually, she also put aside Sad and sad in my heart, I happily ate barbecue with a few people.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, a few people sat for a while, and Wanwan was missing modern TV and the Internet. Later, Mai Cao suddenly remembered that he forgot to paste the paper-cuts he had prepared, and several people helped to paste the window grilles, let alone this wheat grass. Hands are really skillful, not only good at making things, but also very beautiful cut window grilles.

After talking and joking for a while, it was getting late, and everyone was getting ready to go to bed, but Maicao insisted on watching the New Year tonight. In the past, she and Xiangxiu were used to keeping the New Year's Eve every year. she.

When Wanwan woke up the next morning, Mai Cao had already made breakfast, but he was sleeping soundly in the room in the next life, and he didn't know when he went to bed last night.

This year's New Year's Day seems to be more festive, not only because there is one more person in the family, but also because of the New Year's goods prepared by Wanwan this year, snacks are also bought a lot.Everyone bought new clothes, and the restaurant also sent gifts.

　I have a cold and my head hurts.
