Xiaojiaxiu

Chapter 16
I don't know if it was really hot this day, or the hot scene of harvesting wheat infected Si Ya.Siya was walking on the small path among the wheat fields, and the hot wind blew in gusts.

Large tracts of wheat fields have lost their original order, and pits and hollows appear.Some of the wheat harvesters talked and laughed while harvesting the wheat, showing no sign of hard work at all; , so that people who see it can't help but get nervous, as if the good weather is going to rain in the next second.

Sanya and Siya looked at the people working in full swing, and their hearts were also infected. They felt that they were full of energy, and they unconsciously quickened their pace.

In the field, Mr. Wang's family is hard at work harvesting wheat.Mr. Wang's fifteen acres of land are not in the same piece, and the land in his hand now is the largest five acres of land.

Mr. Wang divided the personnel as in previous years, and harvested the wheat from four directions.Mr. Wang took Tuwen and his eldest grandson Yaozong from the north; Wang Tuwang, Mrs. Hu and his youngest son Yaomen from the south; Wang Tuxi, Mrs. Zhou and Yaozu from the east; Yao Sheng.

There is a reason for Mr. Wang's division in this way. First, this division can make up for one's strengths and make up for one's weakness. Second, this division can clearly see who is lazy at a glance.

This is what Sanya and Siya saw when they arrived: a piece of wheat field, the north side of Mr. Wang and the three of them obviously harvested more than Wang Tuwang; the speed of wheat harvesting in the east and west directions was about the same.

This didn't make Si Ya take it to heart, the most hateful thing was Yao Sheng.The place where Yaosheng harvested was just a small spot in front of him, and Wang Tugen and Mrs. Zhao were responsible for harvesting the other large pieces. The two who hadn't eaten breakfast were sweating from exhaustion, but their hands still kept brandishing his sickle.Look at that Yaosheng again, slowly harvesting the wheat, and stopping to rest from time to time.

Si Ya was very angry in her heart, she knew how to steal, rape and play tricks at such a young age, and she will be able to do it when she grows up!But looking at the aunt Hu, I know who I learned this from.The mother and son are really 100% similar!
Sanya and Siya waited by the side for a long time before Mr. Wang announced that everyone would take a break.Wang Tugen and Mrs. Zhao thought that there was nothing to eat at home, and they were worried that the children would not have breakfast at home!Unexpectedly, it was delivered to them.But both of them were starving, so they started to eat after asking them if they had eaten.

Wang Tugen and Mrs. Zhao felt that today's breakfast was very delicious, but they didn't know if it was because they were too hungry or what.

After the parents finished eating, Sanya and Siya hurried back.

After resting for a while, Mr. Wang and his family started harvesting wheat again.

When Sanya and Siya returned home, Da Ya had already finished eating with a few younger sisters.

Si Ya and San Ya discussed it with Da Ya after breakfast.At noon, Da Ya took the sweet and sour potato cakes that Si Ya made in the morning for lunch, and the lunch she gave to parents at noon was also the same.Siya and Sanya went to the town to buy things, there were too many things missing at home, and it was really impossible to live a small life for a while, Yang's place had no hope at all, if he didn't make up for it secretly, he would burn the incense up!
After discussing with Sanya and Daya, Siya and Daya started to set off.The money seized by Mrs. Yang yesterday was not taken away, and Siya and Sanya's money was also taken back.Zhao's several hundred dollars of money, Wang Tugen, except the money for Si Ya's medical treatment and medicine, bought ribs and pastries, and now there is not much left.Fortunately, Siya still has 68 Wen coins left here, plus the money in Sanya's hand, the total is 120 Liu Wen coins!Although not too much, you can still buy some rations.

Si Ya still doesn't know much about how food is sold in this era, so she doesn't have a plan yet, but she wants to solve the problem of eating during the busy farming period first, and then think about how to go next.After the money was used up, only He Sanya and Juan'er's [-] Wen Venture Fund was left in his hands, and this money was absolutely unusable unless it was absolutely necessary.

Siya thought a lot along the way, and also thought about many ways to make money for the heroines in the time-travel novels she read in her previous life. She felt that each method was feasible, but there were still many conditions that could not be met in reality. Which one is the best? What is a good way to combine the current conditions with little cost?Si Ya spent a lot of thought along the way but didn't come up with an idea.

It was almost time for lunch, and Siya and Sanya arrived at the market in the town.Although it is the busy season of farming, the market is still very lively.After all, it is only farmers like those in Wang Village who rely on crops.And this world is like this, often when the farmers are working with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, there are so many people still shuttling through the bustling streets of Shijin.But of course these did not include Siya and Sanya. They came here for food and clothing, and enjoyment was still a luxury for their family.

Si Ya and San Ya didn't come to hang out, so they went straight to the grain store as soon as they reached the street.Siya and Sanya ran through the big shops on the street, and Siya found that the food in these grain and rice shops was roughly divided into three grades: polished rice, sub-rice, and brown rice. Speaking of Siya who bought the rice, of course, he first asked about the rice. The guy at the grain shop saw that they were two poorly dressed little girls, and didn't think about how much they could buy, so he casually said the price.Sure enough, after hearing the price, the older girl looked dejected, while the younger girl stuck out her tongue in surprise.

After this question, Si Ya completely lost the idea of ​​eating rice. The worst brown rice costs five cents a catty, and this polished rice is even more unacceptable.In the end, Si Ya decided to buy some flour. After asking, even the most common flour costs two cents a catty. It is a little expensive, but it is always cheaper than rice.

Si Ya gritted her teeth and bought ten catties of flour!The little guy saw that he only bought ten catties. Although he was still not enthusiastic, he still helped Siya pack the noodles!Cloth straps.Ten catties is also quite heavy, and it is a bit tiring to carry it to buy other things. At first, I only thought about buying the most important things first, but forgot about this.Seeing Siya dawdling there, Sanya picked up the flour and prepared to move forward.Siya looked at the back of Sanya who was carrying the flour, and suddenly felt very sad. The ten catties of flour made the little girl in front of her look thinner and vulnerable!
Seeing that Sanya was about to leave after picking up the flour bag, Siya walked over quickly and signaled Sanya to put down the flour.Sanya thought Siya had something to tell her!As a result, Si Ya asked herself to wait for her here, and she would be back in a while.After finishing speaking, he walked towards the store guy, Sanya saw Siya walking to the clerk and didn't know what to say, the little guy looked reluctant, but finally nodded, Siya looked happy, facing The guy came back with a smile after saying a few words.

After returning, Si Ya handed the flour to the boy behind him, and the boy mentioned the flour and said unhappily, "I wouldn't have helped you if I didn't see that you belong to a family of children!" Humming and walking away with the flour, Siya smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the clerk is really a good guy!" Waiting until the clerk walked towards the inner courtyard behind the grain store, Siya finally talked with him. Sanya went out.

Sanya looked puzzled, why don't you use good flour!Only when Siya told her did Sanya understand that Siya wanted to store things in the grain store first, and it would be much easier to get the flour when the things were almost bought.

In Siya's previous life, the heroines who read time-travel novels would buy pigs into the water. It is said that ancient people would not do it, so most people don't want such things.Si Ya thought, she can learn from it.

So Siya and Sanya deliberately wandered around the butcher shop for a long time.Si Ya inspected several butcher shops, and sure enough, none of them sold pigs into the water.Si Ya felt a little excited in her heart.Pigs into the water are treasures, and if they are used well, they can make a good living!
"Boss, your pork is very good!" Si Ya asked in front of a butcher shop.

"The little girl has good eyesight. This pig has been raised for a whole year! The fat is so thick! The little girl is gluttonous." The butcher shop owner didn't care about the two poorly dressed little girls, and continued Cheerful answer.Siya saw that although the boss was a man with a fierce face, he was indeed not a shallow-sighted person, so she asked without hesitation: "I'm a glutton, but our family is poor and can't afford meat! But my mother Having said that, the contents of the pig’s stomach can be eaten, and it’s cheap! I just thought that the pig’s body must be full of meat! I just wanted to take a look!”

When the butcher shop owner heard what the girl said, he thought of how poor he was when he was a child, and he couldn’t walk every time he saw a butcher. At that time, he secretly made up his mind that when he grew up, he must do that Those who sell meat, even if they don’t eat it, just look at it and feel rare!At that time, the mother of the butcher shop owner wept silently when she heard what the child said. Now that she is really a butcher seller, her mother has already gone, and she can no longer eat the meat she sells with her own hands.

"The stuff in the pig's stomach smells so bad that no one wants to eat it! My shop throws it away every day after slaughtering pigs! Look, it's the ones in the ground. I haven't had time to throw them away today!" The butcher shop owner kindly reminded.

"Let's see, my mother said that the taste is quite good, but it's still edible." Siya didn't want to say that she could handle these pigs. On the one hand, since she was such a young child, she said that she could do it, but obviously no one would believe it. On the other hand, there is no need to say this.

Si Ya walked to the cutting board where the pig was slaughtered. It was obvious that the pig had just been slaughtered today, and there was still a lot of uncoagulated blood around the cutting board.Si Ya endured the discomfort in her heart, and walked over to look at the contents of the pile of pig stomachs.Although looking at the messy pile, Si Ya could still clearly see that the pork liver, large intestine, and lungs inside were all good, and many people liked to eat them in the previous life.Si Ya suppressed the excitement in her heart, while looking at it, she said thoughtfully:

"This taste is a bit strong, but it can still be regarded as meat." After speaking, he frowned and thought silently, as if trying to convince himself.

The owner of the butcher shop was amused by Si Ya's small appearance. This little baby seemed to be really greedy for meat, or he even wanted to eat the contents of the pig's stomach!
Seeing Siya's appearance, Sanya felt very ashamed.

"What's the matter with Siya? My mother never said that the contents of this pig's stomach can be eaten. How can this Siya be a lie!" I will buy a big meat bun for her to eat.

Before Sanya could take action, Siya walked up to the butcher shop owner and smiled sweetly at the butcher shop owner: "Boss, I might give those things to me! It's a pity to throw them away. I asked my mother to go back and burn them." Eat it for me!"

"Little girl, this thing is really inedible, why don't uncle give you a small piece of fat meat and take it home, and ask your mother to cook it for you!"

"I don't want it! The boss is not easy, I can't want it!"

The butcher shop owner thought that this way the girl would stop thinking about eating those things, but unexpectedly, the little girl seriously refused.

The boss thought that maybe the little girl's mother would really do these things, and thought that this thing would have to be thrown away, and at worst he would send a small piece of pork to the little girl later.

"Okay, anyway, it's still going to be thrown away. If you want it, I'll wrap it up for you and take it home!"

Sanya originally thought that Siya was greedy for meat, so she made such a mess, but she didn't expect the butcher to agree, and even helped Siya put the thing up.

With the help of the butcher shop owner, Si Ya picked out all the edible things from the pile and put them in bags. Before leaving, the butcher shop owner also gave a small piece of fat meat. Looking at this pair of pigs going into the water, my mood immediately improved, and I was very happy to think of any girl in this world who took advantage of it.Besides, this is not a small bargain. Although the butcher shop owner didn't know, Si Ya still felt a little guilty, but after a while, the joy of getting a treasure replaced this little emotion.

Sanya had never seen Siya so happy, even when the strawberry jam was selling well, she had never seen Siya so happy, how could she think of the little Jiujiu in Siya's heart.

Sanya saw that Siya was so happy, so she didn't say anything.The two of them took the pig into the water and walked around for a while before they bought all the things they needed.Si Ya even bought some spices for cooking.Although the spices in ancient times are not as complete as they are now, they are pure and natural. Many spices in modern times are grown in greenhouses, and there are always so few things to eat.

Seeing that Siya bought some of these things, Sanya was still very upset.Some time ago, I felt that Si Ya was much more sensible, but now it seems that a child is a child, and no matter what she does, she can't change her playful nature.Sanya originally wanted to say a few words to Siya, but when she thought that Siya had used her own money until now, she stopped talking.A child's world is simple, as long as she thinks that the money belongs to Siya, then she thinks in her heart that she should not say Siya's.

Because Siya was too happy, she ignored Sanya's emotions. This third sister usually doesn't like to laugh, and always likes to put on a straight face, so except for Siya, the younger ones are not very close to her. close.

Siya and Sanya went back to the grain store to get the flour after they bought something. Siya was so happy that she smiled crookedly at everyone, and said thank you to the boy several times!Even Sanya was almost amused by Siya's silly appearance, Sanya thought to herself, forget it, Siya is rarely so happy, just follow her.
