Zhang and other three sisters went back and asked about their study carefully. After breakfast, she happily took a bullock cart to the town.

Because they had to have a meal for the plumbers every day, Zhang and Hu Yang thought that it was better to make steamed bread with miscellaneous noodles. Rice soup was not enough for hunger. Rice... They didn't have such a thick family.

After buying 50 catties of noodles, Hu Xiaocao bought another 10 catties of brown rice. "Niang, you're buying some big bones and salt, eh... Let's buy some more spicy?"

The shopkeeper's happy eyes are almost invisible. The miscellaneous noodles are 15 Wen / kg, the brown rice is 10 Wen / kg, and the small items such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and hot pepper add up to one or two silver. I can't see that the mother and daughter are willing to spend money.

After shopping, the little flower takes the walnut to the embroidery building to get some embroidered cloth. When they start to build the house, they will start to embroider things when they do not reclaim land.

Osmanthus is not in the store. The bartender has been instructed by osmanthus. As long as Hu Xiaocao comes, he can satisfy her as much as possible, listen to them to ask for cloth, and let them choose at will with a big hand.

Hu Xiaocao asked them to choose silk. "Sister, have you forgotten what sister osmanthus said last time when she went to our house? To make money, we have to go high-end. We still have to choose the expensive one. When the embroidery house sells more money, we can also earn more. "

The bartender remembers Hu Xiaocao's words so that the shopkeeper doesn't know when he asks.

When they went back, the ox cart was covered up by their family, so Zhang paid two more money for it.

"Niang, when our conditions are good, we still want to buy a carriage. Just like manager Wang, we can get to and from the town much faster by driving a horse

Zhang smiles and doesn't speak. Her daughter's ideas are all good, but they all need money. If they just spend money and don't make money, they'll just sit on the mountain?

Hu Xiaocao is also aware of Zhang's concerns and does not speak out.

On the first day, there were only a few people when the house was under the foundation. After Li Zheng explained everyone, he left with his hands behind. Hu Xiaocao was curious about everything when he saw the scene of building the house for the first time. He could not see anything from left to right. He simply went back to the kitchen to help.

Aunt Wu San and Jin'e brought some vegetables and cabbages.

"Mother, why don't we marinate some cabbage? It's better than boiled. " Hu Xiaocao looks at these vegetables. If they are fried, they can't eat two meals at all. The most important thing is that they are troublesome and tiring.

"Pickled cabbage?" For the first time, Zhang heard that Chinese cabbage could be pickled.

"Yes, it's delicious. Last time I saw the cook there in Renhetang, I had the cheek to ask her for the recipe. It was very simple."

A listen is from the benevolence hall to ask for a prescription, Zhang Shi does not doubt have him, Zhang Luo washed a cabbage.

Hu Xiaocao took up a big knife and divided the cabbage into two. Each layer of cabbage leaves was coated with some salt. Then he put it in a wooden basin and pressed it with bricks all morning. When the cabbage became soft, he took it out and washed it with water several times. Zhang was distressed. What a waste of salt.

Hu Xiaocao washed and drained the cabbage, chopped the peeled ginger and garlic into foam, and saw that there were leeks at home, but also chopped a handful of leeks.

"Mother, give me the chili powder." Without ready-made chili powder, it is not realistic to sun beat noodles first. Hu Xiaocao simply roasted a few grinds in the pot.

Hu Xiaocao mixed all the materials together, stirred well, and stood for a while. Seeing that all kinds of ingredients were mixed together, he began to daub cabbage.

"Grass, why do you use so many things?" Pepper, sugar and salt are all so expensive. How much waste of this time and again?

Hu Xiaocao said with a smile, "mother, it's because of the many things you add that makes it delicious! Besides, it's much more cost-effective than cooking. Cooking costs oil, firewood and vegetables. Looking at a large basket of dishes, you can't help but eat it. Although it's rare, it's very durable. "

She asked Zhang to roll the cabbage from the root to the end and put it into the pickle jar.

"In a day or two." Unfortunately, there are no apples or pears, or the taste will not be bad.

Zhang can only wait for the result to see if it is as delicious as Hu Xiaocao said.

The next day, Hu Xiaocao's house became lively.

Most of the workers were in place. My grandfather and the whole family came to help. Three uncles and aunts also came. Only grandma was left to watch the children. To Hu Xiaocao's surprise, the second grandfather also came.

She was grateful to her second grandfather. Hu Xiaocao could kowtow and thank him for helping him weave mats all night. Her family just helped him collect rice for two days, but he came with his two sons. At the same time, she also made it clear that if he was paid, he would never contact again.

"Mother, second foreign husband and their..."

"your second foreign husband has a stubborn temper. He says that you don't want to do it. If you go on, it will hurt your feelings. Your second grandmother went early. I told your father that we could help him if they had any problems

Zhang touched Hu Xiaocao's head and said: "grass, you must remember that you can be a man without wealth, but you must have a conscience. What you do should be conscientious. When my mother thought you were dead, the Hu family didn't even want to give you a straw mat. My mother didn't want you to go to the ground and you couldn't live. Your grandfather couldn't, but he still took pity on us. ""Mother, don't worry. I'll hurt my grandfather." Hu Xiaocao's head is like a chicken pecking rice. "Niang, there are so many people in my family today, and my aunt is helping me. I'll go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables."

"Yes, but you must not go far yourself, you know?" Zhang's advice.

For Zhang's advice before going out, Hu Xiaocao would promise that her two sisters would go to Wu San's aunt's home to do embroidery with hongxiahongmei. She was not interested in this thing, and she had not gone to the mountain for a walk, which was exciting.

After entering the mountain so many times, Hu Xiaocao gradually got to know the terrain in the mountain. Today, as soon as I went out, I saw that little dog and big black were waiting for her not far away. Her mouth grinned suddenly.

"What's so happy about?"

Aunt Wu San came from home. She had already agreed to start work to help Zhang's family. Unexpectedly, her aunts came here, and the kitchen was so big that there were so many people standing there. She simply went back. She would come back with a few wooden piers.

"There will be a new house in the future. Happy." Hu Xiaocao sweet back to Wu San aunt, "third grandmother, why do you come here again?"

"It doesn't depend on so many people in your family. I'll bring a few benches so that they don't have to stand all the time."

"Thank you, third grandmother."

"Thank you for everything. You are neighbors. Pay more attention when you go up the mountain alone."

Hu Xiaocao has been walking to xiaohuagou, and her heart is still filled with emotion. They all say that distant relatives are not as good as their neighbors. Aunt Wu takes this to the extreme. In the future, she will make aunt Wu's family live a good life.
