Chapter 34 Abundance
"Xiaoshu, if you don't agree, then I won't want your snails anymore."
Song Xi handed a stack of pennies to Zhou Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, count it, if there is no problem, then you can pick up snails for me later."
Zhou Xiaoshu hesitated for a moment, and then slowly reached out to take a stack of money, but he didn't count it.
No matter how much the little aunt gave him, he would accept it.
Because he knew that he had taken advantage of it, and the snails were not worth much at all.
"Thank you, little aunt, if you need help in the future, just ask, we will not refuse."
"Xiaoshu, share this money with your sister, and then give some to the family, and save the rest by yourself. When the time comes, go to school to study and learn knowledge. Knowledge can change your destiny, and knowledge can make you live a better life."
Since their father can beat their mother away, it means that their father is not very good.
If all the money is handed over, it is very likely that it will be used by their father, or used to marry their stepmother.
Song Xi just wanted to help these two children, not those insignificant people.
"Auntie, we understand, thank you, Auntie."
Both children were very excited and bowed to Song Xi to express their thanks. f(r)eewebnovel
This is the first time they have gotten so much money!
Even if they have to give some to their father, they can still have a lot left.
Song Xi quickly reached out to stop their movements, and said, "Xiaoshu, Xiaohua, don't tell anyone about this, you understand? Otherwise, the three of us will die. When I say that I can tell others later, I won't tell anyone." Tell someone, you know?"
Children have no gatekeepers, so it is easy to tell the story, and it will spread when the time comes.
No matter how sensible they are, she must beat them.
Seeing the two children nodding repeatedly, Song Xi continued, "And this snail, as long as it's not too small, I want it."
After drinking the water and eating the biscuits, the two children left contentedly with their empty backpacks.
As for how to divide the money, that is the matter of the two brothers and sisters, and she, an outsider, will not interfere.
Song Xi came to the well, threw the wooden barrel tied with a hemp rope into the well, and brought up half a barrel of water.
Carried well water into the supermarket, poured it into a storage box full of large snails.
Although time is static in the supermarket, the things put in will not change in any way, and the snails will not die.
But she still felt that the snails nourished by well water would be cleaner.
Song Xi moved two large white plastic buckets that could hold two thousand catties of water, and put them in the most convenient place.
I plan to dig well water slowly when I have time, and fill up the big plastic bucket, so that it will be more convenient to use water in the future.
Although there are a lot of mineral water and bottled water in the supermarket, they can be drunk directly, so she won't waste that water!
In the evening, Zhou Yi returned with a full load.
With a basket full of wild berries, a pheasant, a big grass carp and a snake.
When Song Xi saw the snake, Song Xi was taken aback, his whole face was pale with fright, Zhou Yi hurriedly took the snake away, "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry."
There were a lot of people coming to dinner at night, and he was thinking of having an extra meal for the evening, but unexpectedly, he frightened his wife.
"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy!"
Song Xi adjusted her emotions, carried the mountain berries and went back to the room.
It's just that the thumping heart is still showing her fear.
Song Xi did not dare to put all the raspberries into the supermarket, fearing that Zhou Yi would not be able to answer his questions.
So I collected two-thirds and left one-third outside.
Presumably Zhou Yi would think that she ate it, so naturally he wouldn't ask so much.
But if you want to make wine with raspberries, don’t worry for now, after all, it won’t go bad in the supermarket.
Song Xi had just come out of the supermarket and returned to her room. Before she had time to rest, she heard a knock on the door and Zhou Yi's worried voice, "Daughter-in-law, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine." Song Xi patted his chest lightly, then went to open the door, "Brother Yi, let me help you, otherwise how long will you do it alone!"
In the evening, he has to eat for five or six people, with so many dishes, he doesn't know how long he will be busy alone, so she wants to do some small things within her ability.
"Okay!" Zhou Yi was very happy, with a bright smile on his face.
He is of course very happy that the little daughter-in-law can participate in his life.
Zhou Yi knew that Song Xi was afraid of snakes, so he made snake soup early and put it in the cupboard.
So that Song Xi would not see it, Zhou Yi fried sweet potato stalks with bacon, braised fish tail, steamed egg custard, stewed fish head soup, and pheasant soup.
Rice is the whole grain rice that everyone eats. There are only a few catties of rice in their house, even if it is all cooked, it is not enough for everyone to eat.
So I added two handfuls of rice to the coarse grain rice, and let everyone taste the taste of rice.
"Brother Yi, let me make this potato!" Seeing that Zhou Yi was about to cut potatoes and throw them into the pheasant soup, Song Xi couldn't help suggesting, "Brother Yi, please help me light the fire, I'll make a new potato today." How to eat."
There is no fertilizer in this era, and farming depends entirely on farmyard manure.
But farmyard manure is not even enough for paddy fields, let alone dry land.
It can only be watered manually, so the yield of coarse grains is extremely low, and one mu can produce up to two to three hundred catties.
So when you eat potatoes, you don’t peel them.
Because potato skins are also edible.
Afterwards, Zhou Yi was in charge of controlling the heat, while Song Xi used potatoes to show off.
She made a dish of vinegared potato shreds and a dish of spicy diced potatoes.
Because Song Xi was willing to put in seasonings, the colors of both shredded and diced potatoes were very bright and very attractive.
Zhou Yi sat behind the stove and lit the fire, and the rich aroma came to his nostrils, which made him swallow his saliva, "Smelling this smell, I suddenly feel very hungry, daughter-in-law, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good."
The ones he made before were simply pig food, and it really hurt her stomach to let his wife eat them for such a long time.
Seeing Zhou Yi's expectant look, Song Xi picked up chopsticks and vinegared potato shreds, and fed them into his mouth, "Brother Yi, as long as you are willing to put oil and salt in the future, you can also make delicious meals Come."
Want to push the task of cooking to her, don't even think about it, she cooks occasionally.
Zhou Yi ate the shredded potatoes fed by his little daughter-in-law, and his heart was as sweet as honey.
The potato shreds are crisp and refreshing with a little sour taste, especially delicious.
He opened his mouth and waited for the little daughter-in-law to feed him again, but Song Xi had already ignored him.
What a man, he still pushes his limits, naive!
At 7:30 in the evening, Zhou Yi's three good brothers Zhou Ping, Sheng Jiahe, and Mo Jiaxiang came to have dinner with rations.
Zhou Ping brought potatoes, which weighed about five catties.
Shengjia and sweet potato sticks with a basket.
Mo Jiaxiang brought wild honey collected on the mountain, which was packed in canned bottles and weighed about one catty.
