A farmer can live for two taels of silver a year, because they don't have to buy anything, as long as there is no natural disaster**, and the grain cannot be harvested in the field, their life will not be sad.

In winter, the farmers are not idle, the farmers are not idle, first of all, they have to pickle vegetables, chestnut Niang pickled radish strips in a jar, pickled a jar for Yuehua, and the remaining three jars are enough to eat for a year, making tofu. Yuehua always thought that the tofu was bought, but when she arrived at the farmer's house, she realized that this thing could be made at home.

The tofu method is a little disgusting, beat the old tofu, make a basket, spread hay in it, put the old tofu cut into mahjong size, put it in the back room, wait for it to grow mold, wait for the tofu to grow yellow and green mold and take it out, put pepper seeds, salt into the jar to pickle, the taste of tofu is special, spicy, salty, especially under the rice, chestnut Niang made a big jar, gave Yuehua a small bottle, and the rest is enough to eat for a year.

Make bean paste...... There are also several jars, of course, there are more than that, there are also pickled cabbage, capers, and pickled cucumber rinds in summer...... There are more than a dozen pickle jars in the dark corner of the chestnut's kitchen, and there are all kinds of pickles in them, which are estimated to be impossible to eat in ten years when they are left here in Yuehua.

Yuehua felt so strange and asked the chestnut.

"Next year, I have to go to the fields to work in the spring, I don't even have time to cook every day, the dishes all point to these pickles, when I was a child, my father and mother went to work in the mountains, and hurried back every day at noon to cook a pot of rice, the rice is almost cooked, so I beat an egg and steam it in it, the rice is cooked, and dig a small bowl of tempeh from the jar.

A steamed egg, a bowl of tempeh, two dishes, the family eats like this.

Later, when I was older, I knew how to cook, so I ate food at home.

I guess I don't cook at home, my mother can't even beat an egg when cooking, only cook a pot of rice and pick a bowl of pickles to deal with. ”

Chestnut also knew that she felt sorry for her father and mother at a young age, and when she spoke, she obviously felt a lot of loss in tone, but she smiled again: "But I still make so many pickles, and after a few days, the weather is not cloudy or rainy, my father picked up the dock and sold it to the wharf to do chores on the wharf, a jar of pickles can earn forty yuan, so let's make it up!" Next year, my eldest brother's money will come out. ”

Yuehua lived in Chestnut's house for a few more days, Chestnut's eldest brother also came back, Yuehua didn't have a good impression of Chestnut's eldest brother before, and the family worked to support a scholar, this scholar grew up with the stars in the family, and he should be very squeamish, and he found that he was not squeamish at all when he met.

Chestnut's younger brother is a little more than a year younger than Chestnut, because the boy smokes late, he is half a head shorter than Chestnut, and his appearance is very gentle, at first glance, he is a child who reads, very thin like a bamboo pole, and he has a pair of big hands and feet, and his hands and feet look like he can work.

The boy was well-behaved, just came back, the schoolbag had just been put down, although his face was tender, he still kowtowed to Yuehua's owner very respectfully, and then as soon as the cloth shoes were taken off, he changed into straw shoes and went to the back of the house to work, and it didn't take long to get a bundle of firewood, leave it in the backyard and wait for it, and then carry the duck food and go to the pond to feed the ducks.

In order to make more money, Father Chestnut fenced off a small lake in the village, stocked ducks in it, drove the ducks into the pond every morning, and drove them back in the evening.

Raising ducks is dirtier than raising chickens, duck feces are everywhere, and it stinks, and the chestnut father also raises a lot, and every day he drives the ducks out, he has to go to the duck pen to sweep the duck feces, otherwise there is a smell of duck feces inside and outside the house.

Needless to say, it is hard work, and only families who lack money will raise a room full of ducks.

The boy went to the pond and came back, and drove the ducks back early.

That night, because the boy came back, Chestnut Niang made halva for the second time, and the last time she made it was for Yuehua's tooth sacrifice.

The halva is also grinding to make, boiling rice sugar is more troublesome than boiling sweet potato sugar, the halva that Yuehua used to eat is five-kernel crisp, put peanuts, melon seeds, almonds and other five kinds of dried fruits, the farmer only has peanuts, fried peanuts, poured hot rice syrup, put it into the grinder, completely frozen, take it out, cut into small long pieces thick fingers, chestnut Niang is rare to do once, one is two buckets, and I left half a bucket to eat.

The next morning, before dawn, Daddy Chestnut picked a bucket and a half, and Daddy Chestnut picked it up and sold it on the street for money.

Chestnut dad is not idle these days, at this time there is nothing to do in the field to go up the mountain to fetch firewood, occasionally pick something out to sell, so that the firewood for half a month, behind the house, there is almost a room so much firewood, the weather is getting colder and colder, can't go out, you have to weave straw shoes, Yuehua looked at the chestnut house piled up into a hill-like straw shoe pile, Chestnut Dad is only afraid that the straw shoes for a year are made up.

Yuehua has lived in Chestnut's house for some days, during which He Heng came to visit, because he was busy, he had a meal and left in a hurry, Yuehua missed home more and more, but she didn't dare to go back, for fear that someone would really come to the door.

Ning Chengsi's case was finally closed, Ning Chengsi's wife took the Ning family's female dependents to give usury, Ning Chengsi did not dissuade him, but embezzled his wife to give usury, but Nian has been meritorious in governing the southwest border for many years, and temporarily dismissed the post of captain, and after three months of thinking behind closed doors, each of his female dependents slapped twenty mouths to show punishment.

Don't look at Ning Chenghe's dismissal, but the dismissal had no effect on him, although he didn't go to the military department in the end, he made a vacancy for himself in Guo Huai'an in the northwest, and three months later, he went to the northwest to take up his post.

It's the female dependents of the family, who are pulled out of the slap, and the woman's family is pulled out to slap in public, and I don't know how embarrassing it is to pass it out, and the female dependents of the family don't want to be a person in the southwest.

But the most bitter thing to say is the moon eyebrows, Ning Chengsi said hello, the bamboo board used for the palm mouth is a thin slice, it is crackling, but it doesn't hurt, her bamboo board has been moved, the middle of the bamboo board was split open, a dozen, a snap down, just sandwiched meat, hit the whole face is a blood hole that is sandwiched out of the bamboo board, it looks shocking, although it is not disfigured, but this face can not go out for at least half a month.

Needless to say, this is He Heng's handwriting.

This time there was also Hong Sheng, who was punished together because his wife was a loan shark, and he was also dismissed, but it was useless for Hong Sheng who had a background in Jingcheng, and it was not like this in Journey to the West, the monsters without a background were all dead, and those with a background were all taken away, he was dismissed, and he took his wife back to Jingcheng, and was idle at home for half a year, and there was a vacancy in the Dragon Guard, and the family had two thousand taels of silver, and he happily went to work.

Hong Sheng's position was vacant, and no one could do it, and this six-rank commander deserved to He Heng.

After a few months of being led by the Jin Liupin Association, he was successfully promoted to the sixth grade, and there is no one else who has this kind of promotion speed.

PS: I went out today for a busy day, and I only had time to code words in the evening, I hope you will give a recommended ticket, a monthly pass or something, tomorrow I want to go out with my classmates, it is estimated that a more 4000, relatively late. (To be continued.) )
