The two of them weighed their things, and they didn't take cash, but changed to the way of bookkeeping, and Mu Xiang promised them that they would settle the bill every five days, so that it would be easier to calculate.

Before leaving, Mu Xiang picked a wild duck and gave it to Jin Ju. The peasant family is very sincere, although they are poor, but they are very generous in giving.

Jin Ju was not polite, only said that one day he got something good, and he also gave it to Mu Xiang, anyway, they all looked up and didn't look down to see each other, and they exchanged contacts, so they were more cordial.

When they were both gone, Mu Xiang went back to the kitchen to light the fire and prepare the noodles, the noodles she rolled out two days ago were not finished, so they were left to dry, and after they were dried, they were thrown directly into the pot. She thought it was a good idea, and when she was free, she would make more noodles.

Before the water boiled, she went to the field again to take a look, and she was afraid that the animals that did not have long eyes would trample on the vegetable seedlings.

Heibao didn't seem to like the pheasant very much, and one squatted in the kitchen door, occasionally raising his little eyes to look at the pheasant.

On the contrary, Mu Lang liked it very much, twitched his chin, and looked curious, "Second sister, why is its hair golden, its tail is so long, and the cockscomb is so big, you see, this handful of hair is so beautiful!" As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but the hair on the cockscomb was so beautiful, standing high and standing upright, as if he were wearing a high hat.

Caiyun pulled his hand back and admonished, "Didn't you listen to Jin Ju and them? The pheasant is so nagging, you look at its mouth, so sharp, if you bite it, it will definitely bleed, remember, don't touch it, do you hear? Wait for the eldest sister to come back, and ask her again to see if she wants to sell it, Sister Da Mei also said just now, this chicken can be sold for a lot of money, and then you can buy slow meat for Mu Lang to eat. ”

Hearing that there was meat to eat, Mu Langle was broken, "Well, it's sold, it's sold, there is meat to eat." ”

A listless golden chicken, somehow, suddenly turned his head to stare at Caiyun, whether he was looking, or very focused, his black bean-like eyes narrowed slightly, as if he could understand human words.

Mu Xiang happened to come in at this time, and when he heard their discussion, he didn't say anything, he just said that he would raise it first and talk about it later.

After a day in the mountains, Mu Xiang was also tired, so before eating, they burned the kang and began to bake chrysanthemums. Mu Xiang pondered, the chrysanthemums will not wither in about ten days, they only need to hold on for another ten days, and when the season is over, they will be able to pick them all if they want to.

After eating, she and Caiyun boiled hot water again, and the game they brought back was dead, an arrow pierced the heart, the weather was sultry, and it definitely couldn't be cleaned up until tomorrow, so they had to be disemboweled and skinned overnight, and then salted.

This work is a bit bloody, Caiyun doesn't dare to do it, Mu Xiang doesn't matter, she was a killer in her previous life, killing people is nothing, peel a few game, can you still be hard to stop her?

Just as she was about to do something, someone knocked on the door, and before she could ask, Wang Xi's voice came from outside the door.

It turned out that after Wang Xi went home, those prey were cleaned up by Grandma Wang, and his mother said while doing it, these things should be made overnight, otherwise they will change their flavor until tomorrow, he was worried that Mu Xiang would not dare to get this, so he didn't care about it, and ran to take a look, anyway, no one at the door of her house, as long as no one came to look for it, there would be no see.

Caiyun opened the door and let him in. The first time Wang Xi entered the courtyard, he saw Mu Xiang holding a kitchen knife, as if he was about to start, but he didn't know where to start.

He walked over with a smile, "I know you won't clean up, so I'll come, wait for you to boil more boiling water, and the pheasant feathers will take a while to fade." "He went up to the mountains to hunt when he was a teenager, and it was natural to pack these things.

Where to cut the knife, how to peel the skin, and not hurt the fur, this is very knowledgeable.

Mu Xiang originally wanted to learn a thing or two from him, but when he saw him open his stomach and clean up those intestines, he couldn't help but stop going.

This is the difference between murder and dissection, killing only needs to make people breathless, and make up for a few knives before they die, but this caesarean section is not horror, it is disgusting.

Half an hour later, the game was packed up and packed in a large wooden basin. Wang Xi wiped his sweat, stood up and supported his waist, "Okay, these are all done, I can't help you with the rest of the work." ”

Mu Xiang saw that he was tired and sweaty, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him, "No, no, I can come by myself for the rest, thank you so much, if you didn't come over to help, we don't know how long it would take to finish!" Otherwise, when the game is marinated that day, I will invite you to come over for dinner. She didn't think that Wang Xi would come over to help, and they must have been very tired after climbing the mountain road for a day. said that if she wanted to invite him to dinner, it was also out of sincerity, she was like this, if others were good to her, she would also repay him well. As for whether Wang Xi has other thoughts about her, she really didn't think about it in that way, there are so many things at home, one stubble after another, how can she have extra time to think about those who don't. Moreover, although Wang Xiren is very good, it will never be the type she likes.

Wang Xi heard that Mu Xiang wanted to invite him to dinner, and wanted to refuse, but the words rolled to his mouth and retracted, and finally just nodded slightly. It was getting late, so he drank the water from his cup and went home.

Mu Xiang still has work to finish next, and now is not the season to marinate salted meat, and these wild meats must be pickled to be preserved.

She brought a jar of vinegar from the stove and sprinkled some vinegar in a wooden basin. Vinegar can remove the fishy smell, and then take a salt shaker, and spread the salt on the skin of the game, because it is coarse salt, so when pickling, you have to rub it vigorously, otherwise the meat will not be able to enter the salt. You have to knead it inside and out, and finally cut some shredded ginger to get rid of the fishy smell. If you leave it for two days, you can hang it outside to dry.

On this day, Mu Xiang and Caiyun were very tired, although Mu Lang didn't do any heavy work, he was drowsy and could fall asleep with his head next to the pillow.

When undressing, the oil lamp had not been extinguished, Mu Xiang saw the marks on her sister's face that was sunburned, and said distressedly: "Don't go picking chrysanthemums tomorrow, maybe Tang Mo doesn't need so many chrysanthemums, you don't have to worry about it for a day at home." ”

Caiyun had already gotten into the quilt, and only grinned when he heard the words, "Sister, I'm not tired, go to pick chrysanthemums, and don't work in the field, it's much easier than that, I'll pick it, we can earn more money, and it's going to be winter soon, we still have a lot of things to add, and we have to have a lot of things at that time!" ”

Mu Xiang sighed in her heart, saying that the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, and Caiyun's age, if she is still in school in modern times, she will be coquettish in the arms of her parents!

After another two days, the weather was a little gloomy, Da Mei and Jin Ju discussed a day off, these days are not at home, the vegetable garden home, have accumulated a lot of things. In the afternoon, Da Mei sent a basket of winter cabbage seedlings, "I have a lot of rapeseeds, I can't plant them all, you can plant these, and when they grow, you can pickle and eat them." ”

Mu Xiang took the basket, "I forgot about it, it just so happens that there is a lot of empty space on the edge of my vegetable garden where you can plant winter cabbage." She did forget that in fact, there are many vegetables that can be grown in a modern vegetable garden, and she walked through it and started from scratch, which inevitably made mistakes.
