The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #434 - Chapter 434: Mai Tai Kid is back (2 in 1

  Seeing Li Xuemei was puzzled, Mrs. Cui explained: “This is not my father, and he is not obedient to his old age. He insisted on going into the mountains to collect firewood and twisted his waist. The dog father showed it, but it is not a big deal, just keep it up.

   Now that he is almost healed, we still want to go. We just want to find another job for him so that he will stop worrying about firewood.

The big stone bridge is connected to the official road, and people who come and go pass through it. I wondered if I could rent an open space to build a shed, and let Gouzi Daddy go there to collect medicinal materials. There is no need to go inside anymore, it can be regarded as a place for him to sit in the clinic.

As for my father, I will help him and build a stove to heat hot water. If anyone wants to drink hot water or tea, he can earn a penny of tea money. He is free and finds something for him. , not cold yet. “

  Li Xuemei understood what she meant.

   Probably originally wanted to set up a tea stand for the elderly.

  It doesn’t matter if the weather is warm, but the weather is so cold now, the hut needs to be built, the charcoal fire needs to be burned, and the cost will increase.

   I had to count Cui Langzhong, who earned some money by collecting medicinal materials. In that position, it was really convenient for someone to come to see the doctor and get medicine, saving the walk through the forest to Xiao’an Village.

   Really painstaking.

   “The land of our two families is clearly divided in the title deed, but since we are doing business together, it is not easy to divide too clearly.” Li Xuemei knew that Mrs. Cui could understand her meaning. “There’s nothing on my side, you can ask the Qi family.”

  Miss Cui rejoiced.

   What the Yan family said makes sense, and the matter is basically done.

She has been thinking about it for a long time, not only for her father, but also for the sake of the head of the family. It is not a big deal for him to visit ten miles and eight villages in Qishan Prefecture, but it is too cold in Guanzhou, and the snow is so thick that it takes several days to melt. , just opened up, it started to snow again, and they are not familiar with the road, what should they do if something happens on the road one day, it is convenient for both of them to set up a place by the side of the official road.

  Ms. Cui had something to say, couldn’t sit still, hurriedly went to Qi’s house next door, talked with Grandma Qi for a long time, then turned back, just in time for lunch at Yan’s house.

  Li Xuemei asked her to go to the table, but Mrs. Cui didn’t treat herself as an outsider, so she got on the kang with her legs crossed.

  Da Ya brought Qing Er over to her aunt’s house for lunch.

  Nurse Rong made stewed eggs, braised roe deer meat, and a mushroom soup. The staple food was rice.

  Ms. Cui smiled and said: “Oh, look at my blessing, it’s here!”

  Yan’s family doesn’t eat meat all the time, it’s all arranged by Nanny Rong.

  But since Tianleng meat can be released, some people in the village hunted prey, and Madam Rong went to buy it, made a small half, and kept more than half. The Yan family has a lot of meat reserves.

It is impossible to cook for Li Xuemei alone, they are all cooked for the whole family to eat. Not only is the big girl well-raised now, she is getting bigger and more beautiful, and even the sickly Qing’er’s face has turned rosy, and her cheeks are tender. Now that there is meat, the little girl has a good foundation, white and tender, which is rare to look at.

   In addition, Li Xuemei’s appearance is not bad, her complexion has been particularly good after being adjusted in the past few months, big, small, and small, all of them look good.

   Eating with the three of them at the same table, Mrs. Cui can cook two bowls of rice without meat.

  It’s really pleasing to the eye.

  She loves to talk and chatter, and she can’t keep her mouth shut when she eats. This meal was so lively that Li Xuemei accidentally ate half a bowl too much. After the meal, Mrs. Cui accompanied her for a stroll in the yard.

   “Then Qing’er, is this how your family raises it? Will you not send it back to the quarry in the future?” Madam Cui asked.

Li Xuemei held her arm with her, and walked steadily with every step: “What does the mistake made by adults have to do with the child? The child is so young and weak. What kind of work can she do? There is not much more than one of her in the quarry. Mr. Kang Didn’t you say that you can redeem it when the year is up, think of a way to see if you can let her spend some money here…”

  Ms. Cui thought that the Yan family was kind enough to pay the money, and sighed: “She has met a noble person when she met your family.”

  Li Xuemei didn’t explain that the child was not short of money, but asked her how she went to Qi’s house.

  Miss Cui put on a happy face: “The other side of the Qi family also agreed, saying that the rent is up to your family to decide.”

Li Xuemei thought for a while and said: “You go to see the place first, and it’s fine to get up the house first. I don’t know how to charge more or less. Let Xiao Er come back and let her figure it out. You know, my family’s financial accounts are all theirs. Grandpa takes care of…”

   “Okay, with your words, I have a solid heart.” Madam Cui said gratefully, she was most afraid that Li Xuemei would give her less due to affection, and Xiaoer would not, and the child understood it.

  Her family didn’t intend to take advantage of Yan’s and Qi’s, but really thought the place was good.

Li Xuemei likes Mrs. Cui’s temperament, generous and straightforward, so she gave her an idea: “Our village is a bit in the back, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the outside villages. When your house is up, hang a big sign outside, and your family wants to collect medicinal materials. In the above, Luo San wanted to collect pigs and sheep and also wrote it. My family can write wood and firewood… The same is true for the things we want to sell, so that passers-by can remember it after reading it. Someone will find it.”

   To put it bluntly, it is a supply and demand card.

   “This is a good idea, but what if they can’t read?” Mrs. Cui, who can’t read, naturally thought of this first.

   “Brother-in-law is not there. If someone is curious about what he wrote, let him tell others.”

  …

  Yan Yu can already see the river beside the village.

   “Uncle Qi, we’re almost home!” she shouted excitedly.

  Qi Si was also happy, hummed, and kept wiping the two sheep with snow.

  Both of them want to take the sheep back whole.

   If you eat on the way, it will inevitably waste some.

  Yan Yu took advantage of Fourth Uncle Qi’s inattention and mixed the three treasures and the donkey’s feces with the forage for the cows.

  The cows don’t care about their shape at all, and they eat deliciously.

  Yan Yu tried his best to make him eat as much as possible. He was almost at home, so he didn’t want to stop any longer. He walked back to the village in one breath, and he should be able to catch up with the dinner at home.

  …

  In the evening, Yan Yu and Qi Si entered the village!

  When they walked through the village with two cows, one big and one small, the whole Xiao’an Village became a sensation.

   It was time to eat, and the big guys couldn’t take care of their stomachs anymore, so they all ran out, chasing the two of them and asking questions.

   “Xiao Er, where have you been? Are you going to buy a cow?”

   “Why did you come from the other side of the mountain? There are still cows on this mountain?!”

   “Qi Si, where have you and Xiao Er been these days?”

  …

  Yan Yu pretended to be closed, and talked to everyone with a smile, but she didn’t get to the point.

  The people in the village are feeling uncomfortable.

   Pairs of eyes fell on the mother cow and her child, and the calf was so frightened that it clung to the cow, wishing to hide itself.

  Actually, the reason why the big guys are so curious is because this cow, this cow, looks like a cow outside the customs that they have heard of…

   Standing with Yan’s cattle, you can tell the difference at a glance.

  Finally, someone couldn’t help asking what the big guy was thinking.

   “Xiao Er, this cow, isn’t it, is it… from the other side of the mountain?”

Yan Yu stood still, and introduced with great enthusiasm: “That’s right, Fourth Uncle Qi and I went over the mountain. Look at the place where those Bei Rong lived. They raised a lot of cattle and sheep, so many that they can’t be counted… Let’s How can you come back empty-handed, you must bring back both ends!

   These are their cows. There are many red ones, black and white ones, and some mixed flowers. The bulls are taller and stronger, and the cows are much shorter.

   The bull might be a bit more irritable, but the cow has a good temper, so she put it on her head and walked along. I don’t know if the cow can plow the land. “

  She took another two steps to Sanbao, and patted the two sheep hanging on his body.

  The two sheep were covered with snow, and the cow mother and calf were so eye-catching that the villagers could only see what it was at this time.

   Whoo!

   Two sheep!

“This is the sheep they raise, more than cows. It’s the same as Fengming’s. They raise sheep, but they are stupid. They kill the ones next to them, and they don’t know how to run away… Fourth Uncle Qi and I are just two people, and we really can’t take them with us.” There are so many, just two ends, whoever wants to eat mutton, come back to my house to cut the meat…”

   Village Chief Luo tentatively touched the cow. The cow took small steps on the spot and shook him with its tail.

The old man was very happy: “This cow can’t be killed, teach it well, and it will be able to plow the land. Besides, it’s a cow, Xiao Er, try to match it with your cow. Your three treasures are rare good cows. If you If they can be matched, the calf born will be unmistakable.”

  Yan Yu: …

  Sambo:…

  Yan Yu secretly wiped his sweat: “Grandpa Luo, my three treasures seem to despise it.”

Village Chief Luo said seriously: “Maybe it’s not the right time.” He couldn’t explain to Xiao Er about the noise of the livestock, so he said vaguely: “Wait and see, maybe it’s because of the cold weather. Put them together, put them together…”

“The calves are male and female?” Old man Song was wearing thick clothes, and it was quite difficult to bend down. When he saw it clearly, he laughed and said, “This is a bull. According to what you said, the bull is tall and strong. Then this calf will definitely be able to go to the ground when he grows up.”

  Yan Yu thought to herself, these two are thinking about farming, so there is no one like her who is thinking about how to get into the belly?

   Really not!

  People in Xiao’an Village saw cattle, and their minds were all about farming.

  When opening up wasteland, Yan’s family had cattle, and how much effort they saved, they saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

  Who doesn’t care about the cattle of the Yan family, they are strong, sensible, and understand human nature.

   Apart from being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.

  They didn’t dare to think about it before, but now, Xiao Er and Qi Si both went over the mountain to pull the cows back, and even pulled the older ones with the younger ones, how could they not think about it.

   My heart is like long grass, very thorny!

  Village Chief Luo was still able to hold on, and said in a deep voice: “Don’t surround yourself, let Xiao Er and Qi Si go home first, you will think that the mountain is easy to turn, and the child will suffer a great crime.”

  He ignored Qi Si next to him, and looked at Yan Yu with concern: “Little Er, go home quickly and have a good rest. When you have a rest, tell us about the things over there.”

  Yan Yu happily complied, took the cow and galloped home.

   Waiting to see Xiaoer enter his yard.

  The people in the village seemed to be boiling.

   “My God, have you heard what Xiao Er said, there are so many cattle and sheep over there, Xiao Er is so good at counting, they can’t count, how much is that!”

“Sheep are still stupid, they don’t know how to run. It’s not easy to catch one when they see it. It’s not easy to take it alive, but it’s okay to die. It’s just a snowy day, so I don’t worry about the meat being spoiled. It’s a shame to slaughter it and smear it with snow.” Good idea!”

“Fengming, who I went with Xiaoer, is full of sheep with long wool and curls. Let me tell you, clothes made of sheepskin are warm. Fengming is much colder than Huju here. Everyone around here wears it like this, I am not willing, but Xiao Er is willing to buy several pieces, saying that she will wear them for her uncle, her father and her elder brother, think about it, if it is not good, can Xiao Er buy it…”

   “What a smart little girl, when did you spend a lot of money? Sheep are good, cattle are good. You say, the people on the other side of the mountain have these old cattle and sheep, why are they here to rob us?”

   “Bad! Besides, it can’t always be meat, you have to eat rice and noodles. If they don’t grow food, why don’t they come to grab ours?”

   “They rob us, we can also rob them!”

   I don’t know who it is, but shouted this sentence angrily.

   No one spoke for a while, but the big guys looked at each other, and they could see the sparks in each other’s eyes.

Village head Luo put on a grimace, and glared at each person one by one: “I don’t know what’s going on, you don’t have to think about it, wait for Xiaoer to rest, let’s listen to what she has to say, let’s go home, go home! “

  He repelled people with his mouth, but he himself was reluctant to leave.

   Just wandering back and forth at the gate of his own courtyard, looking at Yan’s courtyard from time to time.

  I thought this Qi Si, why didn’t he come out yet.

  Xiao Er is young and needs to rest. For a person of your age, even walking on a mountain road can tire you?

  …

   Village head Luo is afraid that he doesn’t know, not only Qi Si is in Yan’s house, but his third child is also in Yan’s house.

  Luo Sanyi heard that they had brought back two sheep, so he called his master to help them.

  It was the first time for Guan Tuhu to enter Yan’s house. After all, he had been dealing with people all year round, and he was not stage-frightened.

  Cooperated with Luo San, first skinned the sheep.

  Qi Si also followed to help.

  The two sheep died for a few days, the blood was frozen and needed a lot of warm water to wash.

  The water in the water tank in Yan’s courtyard is afraid that there is not enough water.

  Qi Si went out with two buckets, and ran from the back door to fetch water from the river.

  Nurse Rong and Da Ya started to boil water.

  The two stoves burn together.

  The sheep have to be washed, and so is Yan Yu.

  Yan Yu, a little girl, didn’t even go into her mother’s room, and the two of them talked through the window.

  Li Xuemei was very happy at first, her daughter came back safely, everything was fine, and she was not injured or anything.

   It didn’t take long before it turned into disgust.

   “Hurry up and wash it well.”

   This is what Li Xuemei said twice to her daughter.

  Yan Yu had to wait for the water to boil.

  Qing’er ran back and forth, brought her washing things, and tremblingly brought a basin of water, asking her to wipe her hands and face first.

  Yan Yu thinks she should go to the yard to help first, and do more work while she is dirty.

   After a while, it will be clean, and you will not be able to reach out.

  Yan Yu greeted Butcher Guan and called Uncle Guan.

  Guan Tuhu did not live in the village for a day or two, and heard a lot about the Yan family.

  Seeing her coming, he said: “Xiao Er, if this sheep is killed in the future, it is best to bled first and then freeze it, not only the sheep, but also the other meat, otherwise the meat will not be very fresh and it will not taste good.”
