MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 130

Although Lu Gu had told him to come back in time for dinner, but in order to sell more pork out, Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing didn't come back with a scooter until nightfall.

The food was stuffy in the pot and there was still a trace of residual temperature. Now it's summer, and it doesn't even need to be hot. Lu Gu will bring it to the table when they wash their hands.

"I sold it all the way to Wangli Village. I happened to get 580 copper plates and sold nearly 60 catties of meat." Shen Yaoqing was very happy. Share the joy.

Even if the money is in Shen Xuanqing's hands, it will not be halved. Of course, his family is happy to earn money, not to mention that they have eaten a lot of this pork, and they can eat it for a few days later.

When they were selling meat, many people had doubts when they heard that it was so cheap. The two of them talked about the hemp poisonous weed, and cut off a small piece of raw meat and chewed it in front of others, so that others could feel at ease.

This meat has been washed with good grass and water, and there is no problem. Besides, the poisonous weed is not poisonous. Everyone knows that, and the gangsters in the nearby villages did not dare to provoke Shen Xuanqing easily after being beaten. Most of the ordinary people are serious people, how can there be so many tricks to frame them, it is good to have meat to eat, so there is no need to be afraid of blackmail.

An oil lamp was lit in the main room, and Wei Lanxiang, who was sleeping, came out wearing clothes. Most of the villagers were reluctant to light the lamp, and they basically stopped when it got dark.

She heard the words and said with a smile: "I bought the marinade today, and the pot will be marinated in the morning from tomorrow. Didn't you leave a pair of pig ears, then pull out two chives from the yard, cool the pig ears, and then Fry a plate of peanuts for your brothers, buy a jar of good wine and drink two cups to satisfy your cravings."

"It's not that the liver is still there, just cut a few slices." Shen Yaoqing said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll cut them all for you." Wei Lanxiang glared at him with a smile, and added: "Eat less at night to save food accumulation, just eat seven or eight minutes, make a cushion, I'm really hungry, I'll get up early tomorrow to eat ."

Shen Yaoqing was chewing rice when Shen Xuanqing replied, "I know mother."

Wei Lanxiang went back to her room.

Lu Gu came over with a teapot and poured water for both of them. He ate dry rice and was afraid of choking. Now that the day is better, it is not a problem to eat white rice, which is much more filling than thin rice soup.

After being a little full, Shen Xuanqing said: "The rest of the meat is about forty kilograms, let's keep twenty kilograms of dried meat, tomorrow I will go to my uncle's house, eldest brother, why don't you send some to Uncle Century's house. "

Uncle Ji was talking about Ji Qiuyue's natal father, how could Shen Yaoqing not nod, Ji Qiuyue was even more happy next time.

The bowls and chopsticks collided lightly, and the candlelight swayed slightly with the night wind.

After eating, Lu Gu took the candlestick and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Shen Xuanqing scooped up water and washed in the courtyard.

I splashed water on my face and rubbed it for a while. After the summer heat dissipated, I felt comfortable. After a while, the water in the clay pot on the tandoor rolled away.

There were only two tableware and chopsticks, and Lu Gu quickly finished washing them, and also filled Shen Xuanqing with water for washing his feet.

The moonlight was pleasant. Shen Xuanqing was sitting in the courtyard washing his feet. There was no need for lights outside. Lu Gu brought the candlestick and went back to the room first. There was a pile of copper plates on the table.

After Shen Xuanqing came in, he had already prepared the hemp rope for stringing the money, just waiting to count it together.

I sold 863 wen at home. After Shen Xuanqing went out to sell meat in the afternoon, most of the people in the village bought it, and they never came to customers again. Adding the 580 wen, I got a total of 1,440 today. Sanwen, that is, more than one or two or four dollars.

"Good luck, it's sold out in one day today, and we eat the rest ourselves." Shen Xuanqing smiled and threaded the twenty copper plates into a small string, which was convenient for going out to buy things.

As for the large-scale money of one thousand wen, Lu Gu counts and wears it. Because of the money, Lu Gu can't be distracted to answer his words, he smiled and didn't bother much.

This time, selling pork is still profitable, and the wild boars don't have to worry about raising them, which is equivalent to earning one or two or four dollars for nothing.

In the hands of the butcher, a live pig that is slaughtered can be sold for about three taels of silver. The price is not comparable to the sheep and deer he hunted in the mountains, but the victory is stable. If you raise a litter of pigs, you can slaughter it in the next year, and kill it in a month. One head can earn two or three taels, and it is really a wealthy household in the countryside.

Speaking of which, the last time he hunted wild boars was last summer, when he caught a female pig. He was lucky at that time. The female pig he encountered had no piglets, and was not as fierce and aggressive as the female pigs with piglets.

Even so, the pig was blocked and besieged and fell into the trap, and was hacked to death by him when he found an opportunity. It didn't cost too much.

Wild things are never easy to hunt, but every time I go down the mountain and sell for money, I think it's worth counting the coins.

Lu Gu put the usual money on, a thousand words were heavy, and after collecting all the money, he felt greasy on his hands, and went out with Shen Xuanqing to wash his hands.

After the two of them blew out the candles and lay down, the night was already dark.

Lu Gu lay on the bed without closing his eyes immediately, the joy he had just counted was still in his heart and face, whether it was silver or copper, it was all good.

He turned over and lay on his side, and said, "The eggs that I have saved in the past few days have not been sold yet. I will steam them in a big bowl tomorrow. You can also eat some of them. Brother Daqing came back with new sesame oil two days ago."

Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing also turned over, and the two whispered face to face for a while, but Xia Xian didn't hug each other, and while they were talking, they fell into a black and sweet sleep.

—

The days are getting better, and even the breakfast has become abundant. Early in the morning, Lu Gu took a big bowl to steam the egg custard, drizzled it with sesame oil, and it was called a fragrant fragrance.

Before eating breakfast, I would squat and stand in the courtyard, but now I mostly sit at the dining table.

He also warmed up steamed buns with white noodles, took half a piece of pickled vegetables and cut them into small pieces. Everyone in the family held the white steamed buns with crushed pickles in their left hand, and scooped out the egg custard in their bowl with a spoon in their right hand.

After ten days or so to Futian, the hens and ducks will not lay eggs well, but they have a lot of chickens, and they can always collect a few every day.

It's been three months since Lu Gu's little hen laid the first egg in the Spring Hours, and he has saved a little or two just selling eggs and duck eggs, and he has earned 300 wen in less than a month.

Don't look at how much he earns. For a husband who has no money to make a living in the countryside, it is indeed a lot of money. If the men in the village know about it, he will be envious.

After seeing Lang Zhong last time, he remembered Shen Xuanqing's words and would eat an egg every day.

After Ji Qiuyue became pregnant, because she did not raise chickens or ducks, the old hens and ducks in the family belonged to Wei Lanxiang, which had nothing to do with her, so all the eggs she ate were allocated by Wei Lanxiang, and she often ate them without harsh treatment. Pass.

Sometimes when Lu Gu was cooking, he felt that he had a lot of eggs, and it was not a big problem for others to eat them.

Today is Shen Xuanqing's home. I ate boiled eggs for several days, and I changed my teeth when I steamed an egg.

After eating breakfast, Wei Lan was so excited that she rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen. She had to show off her skills and get the braised pork out.

Lu Gu and Shen Yan carried bamboo baskets on their backs to cut grass. Ji Qiuyue was really busy at home, so she followed them to the river behind the house to relax.

Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing were also busy. They went to the new house to collect the eggs laid by the ducks at night. They also had to put the chickens in the chicken pen, drive the ducks into the water, and feed the cattle and sheep.

A lot of vegetables are also planted in the new house, watering and weeding are all work, and the dry land and paddy fields have to be weeded to save the seedlings from being bullied by the weeds.

The busy work only stopped at the hottest time of noon.

Pork ear cold salad with spicy oil, fresh red onion, green onion, fresh, fragrant and crisp, the bite is very unusual. He immediately raised his head and drank it, feeling extremely happy.

Today Lu Gu also got half a glass of wine. He took a sip, the taste of the wine made a "hiss" in his mouth, his face quickly turned red, and he fainted on his cheeks like a good rouge. He took the chopsticks to eat the meat and Vegetables dare not touch wine again.

No matter how busy or tired, the good wine and meat can be eaten comfortably, and all the fatigue has subsided.

Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing are not alcoholics, and most of them drink at home to satisfy their cravings.

After the heat of the noon, there is not much work to do in the new house in the afternoon, just feeding the rabbits, cattle and sheep, and weeding in the fields can be put aside. Because of the hot weather, only the two of them took the meat out to go to my uncle. home.

Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang went to the new house to feed the rabbits, and they had to put the ducks and calves outside, and they were there to watch the house. .

But even if there is a dog with him, sometimes he goes out alone to hunt rabbit grass, and he is used to staying in the mountains, and he is very relieved to have a good boy nearby.

"Oh, why is there blood?" Wei Lanxiang bent over to feed the rabbits, and saw that one had bloodstains on her body, her voice raised a little.

Lu Gu came over with the basket. There were two half-sized male rabbits in the nest. One of the ears was bitten. He quickly put down the bamboo basket and separated the rabbits together with Wei Lanxiang. There were many rabbit nests. Enough for one to occupy a nest.

Rabbits fighting and biting are also very powerful. These are all to make money, and you must not bite to death.

"Mother, why don't I dig some herbs to stop the bleeding and apply it." Lu Gu was very distressed when he saw the injured rabbit.

"Alright." Wei Lanxiang nodded.

The big thistle by the river has everything, he quickly dug it back and smashed the juice, and paste the herbs on the rabbit's ears. Wei Lanxiang cut a piece of cloth and helped to wrap it.

The sun was covered by the clouds, and the squinted eyes could be opened and stretched, but after a while, the sky darkened, the dark clouds swept, and even the wind changed.

The two of them were collecting eggs in the henhouse. Looking up at the situation, they hurriedly led the chickens back to the henhouse, picked up the egg basket and hurried to the front room.

The raindrops quickly cracked on the roof and the ground, and the rain became heavy in an instant, pouring down, flowing and converging on the dry ground.

"Oh, really, if I knew this earlier, they wouldn't have to water the vegetable field in the morning." Wei Lanxiang said looking at the rain screen.

She was talking about Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing. Lu Gu heard the words and said, "I don't know if they have arrived at my uncle's house."

"It's probably not there yet." Wei Lanxiang smiled and said: "Two young men, what are they afraid of in the rain, they will find a place to hide."

She glanced at the black sky and said, "This rain won't last long, it'll be fine after a while."

Summer is like this, and the rain comes and goes quickly.

The smell of earth and rain filled the air, mixed with hot breath, and drilled straight into the nose.

There is no sackcloth or a sewing basket in the new house. Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang can only sit under the main room and watch the rain. Good boy and Da Hui also hide in, either lying or standing, especially good boy, crooked. Looking at the rain curtain with his head, he didn't know what it saw, and he whimpered twice.
