Zhang Zhaohua took out the willow branch that had been soaked in the jar last night, and bit the branch with his teeth, revealing the willow fibers inside, like tiny wooden comb teeth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhang Zhaohua broke off the sharp spot on it, and then dipped it in water and put it in his mouth and brushed it.

There are no extravagant things such as toothpaste and tooth powder, and there is no green salt to wipe teeth, and the price of salt here is beyond Zhang Zhaohua's imagination. Every pound of salt sells for three pounds of silver, and from the perspective of counting salt, a person probably eats 20 pounds of salt every year. Their family of five eats 100 catties of white salt a year, which is converted into 0.3 taels of silver, one tael of silver can buy rice and two stones, one stone of rice is about 94.4 kilograms, and one tael of silver can buy 188.8 kilograms of rice, which is 377.6 catties. Just the silver from eating salt can buy more than 120 catties of rice to eat, which is the rice money for a family of five for two months.

The price of rice here is set very deadly, but the price of salt has some twists and turns, but it has always been only higher than three points, not lower than three points. It is said that the price of salt in places where salt is produced like Susong is about one and a half cents, but the price of salt in Henan is relatively high.

Brush your teeth without salt, and the thing that can clean your mouth is vinegar. Wang is a native of Shanxi, Zhang Qi has also stayed in Shanxi for a long time, both of them love sour when eating, and they can't do it without vinegar, so Wang has a hand in making vinegar, and other families also have vinegar making, but they don't have her fragrance, sometimes they knock on the door and exchange things with Wang.

Zhang Zhaohua took a big sip of the small jar filled with vinegar, his little face suddenly shrunk, and he felt that the roots of his teeth were about to be sore. quickly rinsed a few mouthfuls and spit it out, soaked it with water several times, wiped his face twice, and rushed out of the house.

She had a lot of work to do before breakfast, so she went to the yard to clean out the silkworm manure under the dustpan, and put the rice bran she had picked up last night in the food bowl, and went to the chicken coop in the backyard to feed the chickens first.

Seeing that a few days ago were still fluffy chickens have grown, and there are thick and hard feathers on their backs, she can't help but sigh twice - this looks boring and not fun, or the previous chicks are cute, she drove the rooster hen to the nest, and squatted on the ground to play with the chicks, there is a small red mole on her ankle, the chicks come around every time to peck at the legs, and the pecking on the legs does not hurt, but is a little itchy, one pecks the other and jumps on the foot to follow the peck, it is really fun.

After feeding the chickens, she was going to pick a little lettuce leaves in the vegetable garden, she just looked at the dustpan and found that the leaves were gone, it should be that Dad forgot to pick mulberry leaves when he came back yesterday, this is a clear and clear thing that Wang explained, Dad didn't do it, and he must ask for a scolding.

I'm a good girl, Zhang Zhaohua hummed a song, while tearing up the lettuce leaves and rolling them, and when he returned to the courtyard, he saw that Wang was busy serving porridge and didn't notice himself, so he sprinkled the leaves into the dustpan and covered them.

Silkworm seeds are distributed by the government, because every household has to plant mulberry trees, and the government advocates a small-scale farming model of self-production, but it is very interesting that everyone only gets to the extent that the silk is taken out. It is said that they have a weaving workshop or bureau, which requires a large amount of raw silk, and the general price is also okay, and the peasant women in the village can raise silkworms.

The staple food of the silkworm is mulberry leaves, but you can also feed it lettuce leaves, elm leaves, artemisia willow leaves, and oak leaves, but you can't eat too much. Zhang Zhaohua occasionally feeds once or twice, it is not a problem, and seeing the appearance of the silkworm baby squirming and gnawing on the leaves, it should be possible to fool the past.

She was busy with everything, looked up at the sky, felt that today was a good weather, and went to her house to take out the quilt and mattress to set up and dry, before walking to the main house, Wang just finished cutting the cake and served it on the table, Zhang Qi and Zhang Chang were still on the ground to see the kang hole, saying that there was a place last night that was cold, not hot at all, and the father and son squatted on the ground early in the morning.

"Dad, haven't you done it yet?" Zhang Zhaohua leaned in and asked.

"It's done, it's done, I'm going to eat it first, and I'll be fine right away. Zhang Qi agreed again and again and asked Zhang Zhaohua to eat first. At the beginning of September, you have to try to burn the kang first, the kang in the countryside is built by yourself, there are actually a lot of problems, sometimes there will be a hot and a cold, you can't be busy repairing in winter, try to burn it in advance, and find that the problem should be repaired early.

He straightened up, put his hand under the mattress and touched it, "Isn't it a little hot?" Zhang Chang also touched it, and said, "It seems to be hot, just cover it for a while." ”

The two washed their hands and sat down at the table, and the family's breakfast began. Wang's baked cakes are always a little hard, which is right to the appetite of Zhang Qi's father and son, but Zhang Zhaohua's spleen and stomach are a little uncomfortable, so she always chews slowly when she eats, trying to chew it in her mouth to make it easier to lower her stomach.

Zhang Qi likes to see the way his family eats, saying that it is delicate, he has also seen women who eat delicately when he was begging for life, all of them are wives, and they live a life of fine clothes and jade food, he saw Zhang Zhaohua eat finely, so he praised her for learning well from the grain chief, but he didn't know that it had nothing to do with the grain chief, Zhang Zhaohua just had a thin throat and couldn't chew.

After breakfast, Wang sent Zhang Qi and his son out, turned around and saw that Zhang Zhaohua was also packing up his things, patted his forehead and said: "I almost forgot, I picked up some fresh dates, you bring them when you go, don't always eat other people's unkindness." ”

Zhang Zhaohua agreed, and jumped away with a small half bag of dates on his back.

She is going to the food chief's house, why is she going, saying it actually makes her a little unconvinced, because she has this qualification in the whole village, and let the grain chief give her enlightenment and teaching.

In fact, she also asked the grain chief a few times, and the grain chief only said that her qualifications were the best in the village, which was a pretext that could be identified at a glance, Zhang Zhaohua was literate, which did not mean that she knew all the traditional characters, did not mean that she was born to read the four books, and did not mean that a girl with a runny nose could beat all the children in the village.

She was born to remember, and remembers that she was about a year and a half old, and then she was carried to the grain chief's house, and then she grew up almost from the grain chief's knee. The grain chief should be better to her than his own granddaughter, although he has a grandson, but not under his knees. This made the whole village a little in an uproar, and when they heard that the grain chief's own grandson was enlightened in the county, they all wondered whether to tell this female child to be a child daughter-in-law to his grandson. After all, Zhang Zhaohua looks so cute that everyone he sees wants to hug and kiss.

Zhang Zhaohua didn't think so, she had been with the grain for a long time, and she gradually knew a lot of things.

For example, the grain chief has two sons, the eldest son is in the Nanjing Guozi prison, the younger son lives in a house in the county seat of Yongcheng County, and the old grain chief has four or five houses in the county seat, but he chooses to live in the countryside for some reason. During the Chinese New Year, his second son would come to see him and bring a lot of things, pastries and other stuffed into Zhang Zhaohua's stomach.

There is not much meat to eat in the grain chief's place, not because the life is also stressful, but because the grain chief and his wife are old, they can't chew anymore, and the porridge and vegetables are cleared every day, especially the porridge, the porridge of the grain chief's wife is boiled very well, and she is deeply liked by the grain chief and Zhang Zhaohua, she has been with the grain for a long time, and she gradually understands what he most often says, "Mo Yan is weak and has little taste, and the taste is long in the light" What he means.

"Ah Hua is here, there is your favorite walnut crisp today, come and eat it." The grain chief's old wife saw Zhang Zhaohua struggling to cross the threshold of his house, and immediately smiled and squinted.

"Grandma, did your uncle come to see you?" Zhang Zhaohua threw himself into her arms and was incensed, the men, women and children in the village all like Yuxue's lovely Zhang Zhaohua, and the way to express their love is to pinch her soft cheeks, and then kiss the fragrance.

"No, it's a gift from a distant visitor. "The grain chief's wife is also literate and speaks differently from other village women.

"Far away?" Zhang Zhaohua held the hand of the grain chief's wife, in fact, to stabilize her center of gravity, and said, "Friends from afar, are you happy?"

"The guest has already left," the grain chief's slow voice sounded: "It seems that you have memorized the book well, come and let me take the test." ”

The sun had just risen, and a long shadow had fallen from the window, and in the middle of the half-dark room sat an old man, with blazing eyes, a wide and plump mouth, and three slender beards neatly trimmed, smiling at her.
