Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 13

Li Xin looked at the contract drawn up by shopkeeper Sun one by one. After all, it was the first time to read an ancient contract. Although the words were in simplified characters, the writing was like classical Chinese. It seemed that it was not ordinary difficult!Fortunately, I know all the characters, and I can understand them by reading slowly.

After reading the contract, she and Shopkeeper Sun each signed their names and pressed their fingerprints, and the contract was officially effective.After signing the contract, shopkeeper Sun asked someone to weigh the sour bamboo shoots brought by Li Xin's sister and brother. They weighed 25 catties in total and sold for [-] Wen.Because Li Xin's family is full of children, and there is no bullock cart, it is inconvenient to deliver things, so it was finally agreed that every morning, shopkeeper Sun would let the staff go to her house to pull sour bamboo shoots.

Afterwards, Li Xin wrote down all the recipes of sour bamboo shoots that she knew.Shopkeeper Sun read the recipe and asked the waiter to take 100 taels of silver and hand it to her.There are nine taels and one ingot, and five taels and one ingot, and the remaining five taels are copper coins.Li Xin was a little grateful for Shopkeeper Sun's care.

After carefully telling shopkeeper Sun the address of his home, Li Xin took Wen Hao and left Pinxiang Pavilion.Shopkeeper Sun gave 100 taels of silver so readily, Li Xin was very happy.As long as there is money, the life of the family can be improved.In the days to come, she must eat better. Over the past few days, the food at home alone has made her feel very tormented.And the house at home also needs to be repaired, it is so dilapidated, and I don't know when it will not be able to support it!
Now that he had money, Li Xin took Wen Hao to the street to buy things.First, I went to the clothing store to buy two new clothes for each of the five members of my family. The old ones were indeed too tattered.In the previous life, Li Xin never wore patched clothes, and these days are too miserable.

Then I went to buy some meat and various seasonings. When I bought the meat, I also got some fat and big bones.Walking all the way, I bought delicious food when I saw it, and bought a lot of snacks, candied fruit and the like.By the time they met up with Aunt Zhang, the back baskets of both siblings were already full.

Aunt Zhang's things were also sold out, and she was waiting for them. After the meeting, they went to meet the village head together.The village head had already bought all the things he wanted to buy, and the group drove back in a bullock cart.Back in the village, the group parted ways.Before leaving, Li Xin invited Aunt Zhang's family to have dinner at home in the evening.

When they got home, Wen Hao told Wen Bo and the others about his experience in the town today, and the children were all stunned. The final conclusion was that their family was finally rich, and they no longer had to be hungry. .Li Xin took out some snacks and candied fruit bought in the town, put them on a plate for the children to eat.In the end, she also told the children not to tell about the 100 taels of silver. Their house is too dilapidated, and there are no measures to prevent thieves. 100 taels of silver is a huge sum of money in such a village, and many families have never seen so much silver in their lives.I am afraid that money will attract people's attention and make some people greedy.If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. If you can keep a low profile, try to be as low-key as possible!

In the evening, Aunt Zhang's family came.Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang have only two children. The eldest is his son, who is eight years old this year. His name is Zhang Wang, and he is usually called Xiao Wang.The youngest is my daughter, who is only four years old this year. Her first name is Zhang Jinhua, and her nickname is Niu Niu.Aunt Zhang's family also had a hard time, and the clothes of the two children were also patched up. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang was a clean person, so although the clothes were tattered, they were washed very clean.Perhaps Aunt Zhang was embarrassed to come to eat like this, and brought a big hen, which looked very fat at first glance, and it must be a hen that lays eggs.

People in the village are not very rich, so the general hens are reluctant to kill and eat meat, they are raised to lay eggs, and the eggs are saved to buy, which can also supplement the family.Generally only roosters are killed and eaten, but usually they are not willing to kill them. At most, they are only willing to kill one to eat occasionally during the festivals.

Soon, Li Xin had already prepared the meals.This dinner was very rich, with fish and meat, and Li Xin put some sour bamboo shoots on it to make a few dishes, so this meal not only looked rich, but also tasted very appetizing.As soon as Aunt Zhang came in, she came to the kitchen to help, but Li Xin had already prepared the food, so she helped to arrange the dishes.

"You child! You can just eat whatever you want, and it's not just for the Chinese New Year." Aunt Zhang scolded after the food was arranged.It was obviously a reproachful tone, but it made Li Xin feel unusually warm when he heard it. If he was not very familiar with each other, how could he speak like this.

"It's rare to have a good meal in the past two years. If you have it now, let's have a good meal. Eat quickly! The food will be cold later, and I have something to say to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang after dinner." !"

It was rare for the children to eat such a sumptuous meal even during the holidays, and they were very happy. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang also praised Li Xin's craftsmanship.After a meal, there was always laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was really warm.

After dinner, Li Xin took some snacks and candied fruit and sent the children to play in the yard.In the room, she cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, brought up sugar water, and sat down with Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang to talk.She told Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang about selling sour bamboo shoots today, but she skipped the matter of the 100 taels of silver.She wants to make sour bamboo shoots with Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang. Since Pinxiangge can eat a large amount, it should be no problem for another family to make it.

And the bamboo shoots are a one-season thing, so if you don't make more of them sometimes, they will all grow into bamboo shoots after a while.The area of ​​the bamboo forest on the mountain behind them is very large, and the bamboo shoots are good, some are as big as ten catties!Leave some to grow bamboo, and the others should still be able to make a lot of sour bamboo shoots.

In this village, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang and their family are the best. If there is a good thing to do to make money, it is natural to think about their couple.Hearing her talk about the sour bamboo shoots, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were also very happy. After all, it is not difficult to make sour bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots are all wild, and they don't cost money, that is, the pot needs some money.

But jars are also a big problem, because the jars at home are only used by the family, not to mention the limited number, and the jars are also small, not very big.Fortunately, Uncle Zhang said that there are people who burn jars in the neighboring village, so he can make a trip to order some big jars.

The matter was quickly discussed, and the two families decided to order the jar first, and when the jar was bought back, they could pickle the bamboo shoots.When Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang left, Li Xin took two taels of silver and gave them to them. Although the jars were not expensive, they needed a lot of deposits.

(Please support me a lot! Dear friends who like it, you can occasionally bubbling and discuss the plot with me!)
