Chapter 54: Coming to Ask (1st Update)
When I met Meng Shi on the street, or when the two of them were happily preparing to go home to see how much they earned on the first day, Xia Xuege shouted in her heart, Meng Shi was also in peace for a few days after Meng Qingtang stole bud rice last time, plus it was her own brother who stole things, Meng Shi didn't go out to gossip for several days, and today finally came out of the limelight, but I heard Sister-in-law Rong say that Xia Ziqiu was selling food in the town, and the business was very good, Meng's heart was unbalanced, and his family was tired and tired, and all of them supported others, This Xia Zixia is doing well but is not close to his own man, and Xia Ziqiu used to be stupid when Xia Xuege was stupid, because Xia Xuege always broke things, and from time to time he had to pay silver to the old house, and their life was more relaxed, and now Xia Xuege is better, Xia Ziqiu didn't give a penny except for the festival.
This is all from the Xia family, why is his family poor! Meng Shi was unwilling, so she came to the town, and found that Xia Ziqiu's business was so simple, so a large cart of cakes was sold, looking at Xia Ziqiu's cashier, she hated in her heart, why is God so biased, her own family is the most tired, and the most bitter.
"Third child, what are you going to do?"
Meng Shipi said with a smile, Xia Xuege sneered, this is naturally going to go home after packing up things, ten people can see it!
"Sister-in-law, who did I think, I just finished selling things, I was about to go home, and there are still a lot of things to do at home!"
Xia Ziqiu said, moving the cart to bypass Meng, but Meng stopped him again.
"Third child, I haven't heard of you making cakes all these years. Where did you learn it? I haven't seen you do it before, this winter is coming, teach the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law will also make some for the children to eat. ”
Meng Shi smiled, Xia Xuege frowned, don't say that this is made by himself, even if it is made by Xia Ziqiu, this craft and this thing are all light and not passed on to others, even if it is a brother, it depends on people, Meng? Excuse me. Don't say that Meng Shi is reluctant to give up the egg sugar. Even if she was willing, she didn't want to shake out the things that chestnuts could be eaten so quickly, and someone would naturally ask them what they were doing picking chestnuts a few days later, and they would still fool Xia Ziqiu when the time came. Said it was in the book. Xia Ziqiu has read books. It's not like Xia Zidong who only reads sage books, so naturally no one will doubt it, everyone will just feel that they haven't seen the world.
Meng asked. Xia Ziqiu also frowned slightly.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to put sugar and eggs in this thing, can you give it up at home?"
"What's so reluctant about this, you have to do carpentry work and do this thing alone, where can you be busy? Why don't you transfer the business to us! You teach us the craft, and this house also fills in the entry field. ”
Seeing that there was hope, Meng Shi began to inch in, and Xia Xuege sneered.
"Auntie, didn't my father give you all the business in his hand back then? As far as I know, there is a grocery store in this town, although it is said that you are not very profitable because of your poor management, but it is still open, and my father went out of the house on the same day, when it is said that it is okay, my father only needs to send three festivals a year, and a few taels of silver a year to do filial piety, what business my father will do in the future has nothing to do with the old house, uncle, I heard that you were the most supportive of these at that time, how can you not believe it? ”
Xia Xuege asked innocently, and Meng Shi pouted.
"It's been a few months since these words, who remembers, besides, your family is rich now, and it's close to the Zhou family, and the leaks in the fingers of the Zhou family are enough for your family to live, you kid, you go to the eyes of money, why don't you know how to divide the benefits of the family?"
"Auntie, what do you say, what kind of relationship does my family have with the Zhou family, it's just that the old lady Zhou raised me to try the medicine, don't think everyone is so snobbish? What family? My father has long been separated, this family is divided into two families, my family is my family, you have to pay attention to words! ”
Xia Xuege said, Xia Ziqiu also nodded, the Zhou family's family is not their casual interaction, he just thinks that Zhou Changyu came just to record the medicinal effect, Zhou Changqing is completely a child who is used to living a rich life, and he is a little curious about the countryside, Old Lady Zhou? It's just that people are old and have seen too many things, and their family is sincerely friendly, and the only thing they do is Xia Xuege's face, and Mrs. Zhou only appreciates her face.
"Sister-in-law, the child is right, I have already separated from the family, even if I think about Zidong, I can't give you this craft, doesn't this make people say that my father has no faith, I should be filial to the silver will not be less, you can rest assured that your father, sister-in-law, there is still something at home, can you let me go, I am going home."
Xia Ziqiu drove people away, and Meng's eyelids were upset.
"Third child, you don't talk about Zidong, if you think about Zidong, you should know how short of money the family is now, and you won't let you do such a business, you are really selfish, hehe, everyone in this village is estimated to have been deceived by you, where are you a good person, you are simply full of copper smell!"
"Uncle, what are you talking about, my father worked hard to earn money by himself, it's better than you colluding with your mother's brother to steal things, stealing is still your own brother-in-law, you are helping relatives, it's not good, you really don't take the old Xia family seriously, I think a woman like you should be divorced, and, uncle, what do you say about the lack of silver, didn't the Hua family give five hundred taels, Brother Erlang is also going to marry, this eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, it doesn't matter if you are gone, when the sister-in-law is there, oh, I remember that my grandmother said, If someone does something more, they will kick her out of the Xia family. ”
Xia Xuege fiddled with her little hands, as soon as Meng heard Xia Xuege mention the last time, it was like a cat with its tail between its tails, and she wanted to say something, but her son was going to get married in winter, she really couldn't eat anything at this time, in case she was kicked out, her son and daughter would have been suppressed by the Liang family, and the future would definitely be even more difficult.
Glaring at Xia Xuege's father and daughter, Meng Shi left unwillingly, Xia Ziqiu only thought that nothing had happened, Meng's sister-in-law entered the Xia family when he was eight years old, what kind of person he didn't know? I still hurry home to pick chestnuts for my daughter, by the way, I have to buy cabbage, the business of spicy cabbage is good, it snows in winter, people are reluctant to go out, the county restaurant said that they will come to pick it up by themselves, and the town will still send it, but even so, this spicy cabbage can be sold for thousands of catties in winter, and this spring is not a dish, and the family has to pickle cabbage, which is not to say that you have to buy 20,000 catties of cabbage, although it is only a few taels of silver, but this has to go several more to buy enough.
"Xue Ge, let's go buy cabbage, you say, how much should we buy? Dad's 20,000 catties is about the same. ”
"Hmm...... Buy 30,000 catties, that thing is pickled into spicy cabbage is to be shortaged, buy more, our warehouse is so big, you can put it, but let the store send it separately, 30,000 catties at once, you and Lisheng can't help for a while. ”
"Okay, the big tank at home Dad has bought, but if you buy 30,000 catties, you have to buy some more jars, don't eat next spring, just empty the tank Let's pickle sour bamboo shoots, Dad learned from others when he ran the goods in the south, sour and green, delicious and delicious!"
"Uh-huh, Dad, I adore you so much, you are simply an almighty beauty Daddy."
"Daddy Beauty?"
"Yes, my father is so handsome, of course he is a beauty."
"Hehe, you Nizi, let's go, go back early, Dad will pick chestnuts for you!"
The two of them went to more than a dozen stores to buy 30,000 catties of cabbage, four catties of cabbage for a penny, Xia Xuege sighed that this is really the price of cabbage, Xia Ziqiu at home does not plan to plant anything else, he really can't farm, these ten years, he has only learned to plant corn, the corn at home is the best seed, full of large grains, not bald. There are a lot of them in the village to plant!
When he returned home, Lisheng was cleaning the chicken coop in the backyard, and Xiaopang naturally went to be his chicken wolf.
Because Chubby is a wolf, many people with sheep in the village are not at ease, and they want Xia Ziqiu to beat Chubby to death, but Chubby is always very regular, so he can live until now.
Xia Xuege picked up the toffee, this little kitten is only two months old, but it is well fed, it is already quite big, this autumn harvest is the time when there are the most mice, and the toffee is also very powerful, and he has caught a lot of mice, but this cat probably eats too much, and after he is full, the mice he caught are all slipped by him according to the size, and he also invited the merit to Xia Xuege's house, so that Xia Xuege recently entered the house to see that there were no rat corpses on the ground!
"Third uncle, third uncle, are you there?"
The sound of small stones came, Xia Ziqiu poked his head out of the wood, Xia Xuege thought of an extended gardening scissors, so that she and Lisheng could cut chestnuts short, and he had to work for a while before he could go out.
"Stone, the third uncle is here, what, is there something?"
"Well, third uncle, I see you go to the back mountain to find that tree egg (Xiajia Village's name for chestnuts). I want to ask if that stuff works? ”
In fact, it was Xia Tiezhu and his wife who wanted to ask, and many people in the village wanted to ask.
"That thing, the third uncle saw a miscellaneous book in the study in the town, that thing is called chestnuts in other places, it can be eaten, and it can be fed to chickens and ducks, the third uncle doesn't know how to do farm work, don't you know?"
Xia Ziqiu said, pushing himself a little cleaner, he is indeed a little selfish, thinking about talking about these things in two days, and he won't say it about chestnut cake, he is not a saint, who doesn't have a little secret?
As soon as I heard that chestnuts could be eaten, the little stone came to my senses.
"Third uncle, is that thing really edible?"
"I can eat it, the third uncle's family has tried it, you can stew chicken, you can steam it, and you can also take mushrooms to burn, but it's a pity, my uncle didn't have any money at the time, and he didn't buy the miscellaneous book back, there are a lot of things on it, chestnuts can also be fed to chickens and ducks!"
Xia Ziqiu said, Xiao Shi's eyes were bright, and the chestnuts that Xia Ziqiu said seemed to be delicious.
"Third uncle, are you still going to pick that chestnut? I want to go too. (To be continued......)
PS: Su Qingdai, who was reborn in "The Biography of Su Yi", originally wanted to be a seventh lady who ate and waited for death, and by the way, she took revenge and saved people, but her father thought she had eaten too much, so he married her to a lazy prince, how is this good?
