The progress of the cellar was dug quickly, because Xu Jiaojiao was in a hurry, and she was willing to give up the silver, Xu Youde hired a few small workers, ten yuan a day, and two meals of wowotou treatment, and many strong men in the village rushed to do it.

I had money and was easy to do, so I went to the town the next day to buy green sand stones, dry wood and other materials, and bought them all.

At this pace, the cellar will be almost ready by the end of the day.

The children went into the mountains to pick fruits before dawn, and Yuan's and Luo's kept peeling the pulp at home.

Xu Zhang's supervisor is responsible for overall management, and she feels that she needs to personally supervise everything in front of and behind the house.

After breakfast, in the yard, Yuan and Luo were peeling the pulp.

They have been peeling the flesh for two days, and they are already very familiar with it, and they have experience in where to start with the fruit and how much force to use.

Not only are the two of them peeling, but Xiao Liuzi is also seriously peeling the pulp with a snot lake.

The old Xu family is full of people today, most of them are in the backyard, and here in the front yard, Xu Zhang's family does not let people come in to see, so the Yuan family and the Luo family can enter and exit.

Peeling the fruit, Roche chatted with Yuan.

While chatting, Luo asked, "Did Erya go to the mountains to pick fruits today?" This day is really vicious, I think I told my mother that it is better to let Erya stay at home and peel the fruit. ”

Yuanshi smiled, "The fruit is not enough, only it can be picked during the day, and the fruit can be peeled at night, what is the little girl's family afraid of?" She will do whatever her aunt asks her to do, and she can't pick and choose the work. ”

Luo Zhi said continuously, "Yes, Erya's hands and feet are diligent and neat, and she has the trust of her aunt, she is the most important person in our family, her aunt boiled loquat paste with her, by the way, how did her aunt's loquat paste boil, did Erya tell you?" How can a sour fruit have such a sweet and fragrant taste? ”

Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Roche, as if he had taken her thoughts into his eyes.

"I didn't say it, her aunt is a person who has read books, and she doesn't know a single word, what do you know? If you want to know, you can ask the old sister, maybe the old sister will tell you. ”

Roche sneered, "Hehe, I don't know a single word, I guess the old sister doesn't understand what she said, I just said it casually." Hey...... Hey, this basket of fruit is almost finished, so I'll go out and bring some in. ”

With a weak heart, he got up and went outside the courtyard.

Outside, there were baskets of fruit in the pergola under the eaves, which had just been picked today, and there was no time to divide them.

Roche wants to classify them roughly and peel them a little better if they are better cooked.

was picking up fruits, and a few daughters-in-law and old aunts gathered around.

"Yo, Dagui's family, why haven't you seen anyone in the past two days, we are always one person short of Yezipai, and you don't come out to make up for us......" Xu Xuehua said while snorting.

"I'm not free! Working at home every day...... "Roche shamelessly stretched out his hand, went to ask for a few melon seeds, and put them in his mouth. "Why do you have time to come to our house?"

"My man helped build the cellar in your backyard, and your mother-in-law closed the door of the front yard tightly and didn't let us go in to sit." Snowflake Lady took her eyes and looked into the yard while eating melon seeds.

An old neighbor also asked curiously, "What are you doing every day, and you still don't talk about it behind closed doors, there is always a sweet smell wafting from the yard." ”

"You don't know, what kind of loquat paste and loquat dew are sold in the town, they are all home-made, and they are said to make money, Dagui's family, you Dagui went to the county seat for two days in a row, did you make a lot of money?"

Several other aunts and aunts also spoke out one after another.

Roche then understood what they were doing.

I'm here to find out the news.

The day before yesterday, everyone knew about selling fruit, so yesterday they all went to the town to sell fruit.

Then, yesterday, basically no one could sell any fruit out, and I found out what loquat paste and loquat dew the old Xu family made, and today I came to find out how to make this loquat ointment loquat dew.

Roche is not stupid, and she herself is fighting this idea, how could she let outsiders go first.

Not to say that she didn't know, even if she knew something, she couldn't tell anyone.

It's all money!

Money is food!

"Hey, what kind of money to make, it's just that our old sister learned something in books, loquat ointment and loquat dew, there are many people in the county, earn some hard money, our big money is purely errands, my mother said, making more and less is our sister's dowry, it's fun."

As soon as her voice fell, Xu Xuehua and her mother said, "I'm a good girl, yesterday I saw Xu Zhang's selling more than 100 wen in the town, all for your old sister to save a dowry!" The town can sell for more than 100 yuan, so how much should it be sold in the county! That's a big deal! That's a dowry! It's all cheap, Liao Qing's posterity. ”

's words aroused everyone's envy.

A few eldest ladies were amazed, "Tut-tut, I didn't have the girl's family to save so much dowry, your family has so many children, the noble family, I think you should give advice to your father-in-law, you should teach you the method of loquat ointment, you are the daughter-in-law of the old Xu family who gave birth to a son, and you are the foundation of the old Xu family's future, you can also go to the loquat ointment or something to sell, and plan for your son......"

These words fell to Roche's heart.

Not really!

Just as Luo was about to speak, Xu Zhang showed his head on the side of the courtyard wall.

Roche was so frightened that he swallowed all the words in his mouth.

Xu Zhang's voice came, "If you don't go to work, what are you chewing here?" What dowry? What son's? ”

"No, mother, we came out to peel the fruit, and when we met the snowflake lady, she pulled me and asked me about the appearance of shoes. I'm going to work right now......"

Roche held a basket of fruits in his arms and hurried into the yard.

Xue Hua Niang and a few aunts and aunts, when they saw Xu Zhang's, also said hello casually and slipped away.

Before everyone had walked a few steps, they saw a bent over lady not far away, walking over.

This lady is wearing patched coarse cloth clothes, with an old turban wrapped in broken flowers on her head, and a wooden branch crutch that she picked up casually on the road in her hand, and a small burden on her back, I don't know if she is too tired, or she is embarrassed to see Xu Zhang's here, the closer she gets to the old Xu family, the slower her pace, as if she is moving.

"Yo, Mrs. Xu, your in-laws are here!"

The aunt who had that good thing squeezed her eyebrows at Xu Zhang's family, Xu Zhang's family didn't agree, and looked coldly at the approaching piggyback aunt-Yuan Pozi.

This is Yuan's mother-in-law, Yuan's mother-in-law.
