Chapter 5 Initial Livelihood

Previous Chapter

When Chen arrived in the kitchen, Wang Qinmu was boiling medicine for Wang Xiaoya. Chen looked at Wang Qinmu, wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Qinmu ignored her and continued to fan the fire and boil the medicine.

Chen knew that the second daughter was still blaming herself for ignoring the life and death of the little girl, being cowardly and incompetent, letting the eldest girl marry the sick seedling, and even blaming herself for selling her as a slave to force her to die, but what could she do After her own man went, she hated to go with him, but the children were still young, how could she rest assured. How can I support five children from a woman's family, but I don't understand myself when I give birth to my own daughter, alas!

When Wang Qingqing came in, he saw such a strange picture:

There was no one fanning the fire next to his second sister, and his mother was standing aside helplessly.

"A-Niang, our rice is gone, I'm afraid my little sister won't be able to eat other ......" Wang Qingqing broke the weird atmosphere.

"Oh, and rice, you wait, I'll get it." As soon as Wang Qingqing said this, Chen remembered the things that Dr. Wang had just stuffed into him, and he was busy going out to get things.

After a while, Chen came over with a small bag. "This is borrowed by Dr. Wang, you take it and cook it, it should be enough for the little girl to eat for two days, Erya, you will eat some steamed buns!"

Wang Qinmu nodded, let's have a steamed bun! I can't grab something to eat with my sick sister.

After Wang Qingqing boiled porridge for Wang Xiaoya, and after Chen fed Wang Xiaoya porridge and drank medicine, Wang Sanjia finally started eating.

Steamed buns, wild vegetables, and pickles, the rest of the Wang family quickly started eating, Wang Qinmu looked at them, and then looked at the food on the table, gritted his teeth and sandwiched a steamed bun, after taking a bite, Wang Qinmu knew that she was thinking too optimistic, and the steamed bun was so painful that her throat hurt, and she couldn't swallow it at all. Wang Qingqing sandwiched two chopsticks and pickles for Wang Qinmu, "It's delicious with pickles, right!" Dog eggs. ”

Wang Goudan nodded very cooperatively, "Second sister, you eat more, our mother's pickled pickles are delicious." ”

really coaxed himself as a child Wang Qin Mu nodded helplessly, swallowed the steamed bun with the pickles, and found that it was not as unpalatable as just now, on the contrary, because the pickles were delicious enough, even the steamed buns became much more delicious. Compared with eating raw directly, Wang Qinmu thinks that fried pickles are more delicious, especially with meat, put oil, and fry them in the pot, add various seasonings, the sour, hot and salty pickles and the freshness of the meat, the taste is simply amazing.

Wang Qinmu swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and said what he thought of with his family just now, and Chen said strangely: "Pickles are only eaten by poor families, who will eat pickles if they have meat, and use meat to fry pickles, no one eats like this!" ”

Wang Qingqing nodded in agreement. And Wang Goudan swallowed saliva when he heard meat, and he had never eaten meat at home since his father was gone, so he could buy three taels to try it during the New Year.

It's easy for people here to be the first to eat if they haven't eaten like this, and they can be the first people! As long as it is made, Wang Qinmu believes that most people will like it. Maybe you can make some money with this.

Thinking of making money, Wang Qinmu quickly finished eating, sat in his yard after washing the dishes with Wang Qingqing, and began to think about how to earn the first pot of gold in his life and lead his family to make a fortune. It is not enough to rely on pickles alone, not to mention that pickles are available in almost every family, and the method of stir-frying is also very simple, as long as you have eaten it, you can do it with a little cooking skills. It won't sell for much money.

Alas!

Otherwise, don't the books say that there are a lot of Chinese herbs on the mountains in ancient times, like Panax notoginseng, angelica, Coptis chinensis, ginseng, Cordyceps sinensis. However, Wang Qinmu felt that it was unlikely to be dug up, he didn't know how to talk about herbs, people had lived here for generations, and if there were really herbs, it was estimated that they would have been dug up.

It seems that you can only make money by coming to something unique, something that this dynasty does not have. After coming for so many days, Wang Qin Mu basically knew that the dynasty he was in now had never existed in history. There are several countries in this dynasty that are not very clear, and only know that the place where they live is ruled by the state of Qi, and the surname of the country is Ji. There are some small countries on the border, but Qi is the most powerful and has the most extensive territory. It's not big, no one knows whether it's wide or not, I only heard the seller mention it before, Wang Qinmu wants to estimate that it is Wang Po who sells melons! Everyone wants to live in the most powerful country, but it is not clear what the truth is, after all, the people in the mountains and villages far from the political center have limited knowledge.

To Wang Qinmu's surprise, the state of Qi here was generally similar to the ancient Ming Dynasty. In this way, you don't have to worry about changing history, and you can live in a more open era, which is also one of the great blessings.

I just don't know if some foreign things have been introduced, such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, I don't know if there are any in the city, and Wang Qinmu knows that no one has planted them in the village. Among these things, Wang Qinmu is most worried about chili peppers. As a native of the south, Wang Qinmu is not spicy or happy, and he also likes to eat sour, the pickles just now are sour enough, but not spicy enough or directly said that they are not spicy. It is definitely very delicious after adding spicy. Wang Qinmu could already imagine that deliciousness.

"Sister, what are you thinking about deliciously" Wang Goudan saw Wang Qinmu smashing his mouth in the sun, and knew that his second sister was thinking about delicious food again.

"I'm wondering if my eldest brother will hit a big rabbit or pheasant, and our little gluttonous cat will have meat to eat." Wang Qinmu thinks that Wang Goudan is cute and cares about people, because he likes this younger brother in his heart and always wants to tease him.

Hearing that there might be meat, Wang Goudan's eyes lit up, after all, he was just an eight-year-old child, Wang Qinmu thought, but forgot that she was only two years older than him.

"But A-Niang said that if you beat the meat, you have to sell it for steamed buns to eat, otherwise you will be hungry, so we still don't want to eat meat." Wang Goudan thought of his mother's words, and his eyes darkened again.

"Uh...... Dogs are so good. Then let's eat it later! In the future, the second sister will buy you a lot of meat, what pork, chicken, fish......" Wang Qinmu coaxed his little brother.

"Hmm" Wang Goudan nodded, and then retorted, "However, Sister Ao's fish meat is not delicious, I don't want to eat fish." ”

What the? I don't think the fish is delicious, etc......

"Why is the fish not delicious?" Wang Qinmu asked,

"The fish is bitter and fishy, and the soup is fishy, earthy and heavy. By the way, Ah Mei, what are you asking for, if you want to eat Ming'er, let the eldest brother catch one. As soon as Wang Qingqing came out, she heard Wang Qinmu's question and replied to her. I also wondered why the second sister, who hated eating fish the most, still asked about fish. If you really want to eat, there will still be several fish caught in the river at the head of the village for an hour or two. Usually only the children in the village will catch it, and no one else wants to waste this time.

"Yes! How bad is it in the river? I'm going to see it tomorrow too. Wang Qinmu is very excited, as long as it is an edible fish, there is nothing bad to eat with her. Wang Qinmu seemed to see a lot of copper coins beckoning to her, and the whole person was very excited. Seeing Wang Qingqing carrying a basket to dig wild vegetables, he immediately followed him.

The Wang family was built at the foot of the mountain, and it was only a few minutes away from the halfway point of the mountain where the wild vegetables were dug up. However, the wild vegetables seem to have been dug up recently, and the three of them have only dug half a basket for a long time. Wang Qingqing asked Wang Qinmu to carry wild vegetables, and he went to carry a bundle of firewood before returning home with his younger siblings.

Back at home, the sun was about to set, Chen was cooking, and Wang Qingqing saw that A-Niang was not done yet, so he went to help. Wang Qinmu and Wang Goudan went into the house to see Wang Xiaoya. Wang Xiaoya had already woken up, and when she saw them coming in, she hid under the quilt in fear. Wang Qin Mu's heart twitched, in the memory of the original owner, Wang Xiaoya and Wang Goudan are dragon and phoenix fetuses, but their personalities are opposite, compared to Wang Goudan is shy and shy, Wang Xiaoya is a ghost girl, very clever and sweet, plus she is the youngest child in the family, usually she is the first to eat and use, and she also brings a lot of joy to the family.

But how long has it been, how did the lively and lovely child become like this, and how much has she suffered? Wang Qinmu sat down on the edge of the bed, took Wang Xiaoya's hand, Wang Xiaoya subconsciously went to dodge, and looked at Wang Qinmu in fear, and found that she couldn't let Wang Qinmu pull quietly.

"Don't be afraid, little girl! It's the second sister, isn't it painful......" Wang Qinmu pulled Wang Xiaoya's sleeve, one arm was full of bruises, whipping, pinching, and even the mark of tongs, what I saw in the morning was only a small part of it, Wang Qinmu was angry and distressed after reading it, and pulled Wang Xiaoya over to hug it,

"The second sister will get it back for you, and let her repay it a thousand times."

Wang Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and whispered, second sister. Then the tears fell big drops, Wang Goudan stepped forward and wiped Wang Xiaoya's tears with his sleeve, while comforting: "Sister, don't cry, brother will help you beat the bad guys......" But the tears couldn't be wiped away, and Wang Goudan also cried urgently.

"Okay, don't cry, if you have any grievances, tell the second sister, and the second sister will help you remember." Wang Qinmu comforted Wang Xiaoya, and when she heard that Wang Goudan was still crying, she also hugged him.

"Okay, my sister won't cry, and you'll still cry as an elder brother!"

"But, my sister hurts so much, I feel distressed when I look at it." Wang Goudan heard that his sister was not crying, and he wanted to stop crying but couldn't help it, so he could only sobbed quietly, and it took a long time to stop. Wang Qin Mu put down the two of them.

"Okay, little crying bag, go wash your face, you're all a flower-faced cat."

"Is it true? Haha, my sister is" Wang Goudan heard his second sister say this, and thought that it had really become a flower cat face, and looked at his sister's face again and couldn't help laughing.

"My brother is." Wang Xiaoya couldn't help but reply.

"Okay, I am. I went to fetch water for my sister to wash her face. Wang Goudan saw that Wang Xiaoya stopped crying and ran to fetch water.

"Second sister......" Wang Xiaoya called Wang Qinmu, well, Wang Qinmu looked at her, "Second sister is here." ”

"Second sister, do you still want me to send me back to my uncle's house? I'm not afraid of pain, I only eat one bun, I can still work, I can sweep the floor, cook, feed the chickens, I'm not greedy for fun, I can beat me if I don't do well, but don't drive me away, okay? ”

Wang Qinmu was shocked when she heard this, what kind of life has Wang Xiaoya been living in the past few months! It's only an 8-year-old baby!

"No, our family is together, we won't leave you, don't worry, little girl."

Wang Qingqing came in with a basin of water, "Come, little girl, wash your face, and we'll eat when the eldest brother comes back." ”
