Chapter 678: Borrowing Grain
When the village chief's daughter-in-law heard this, she immediately said, "Yes, why not!" Don't rush the money, just pay it back when you have money left!"
The village chief's daughter-in-law immediately put down the wooden basin, wiped her apron with both hands, walked into the stove room, and took out a clean cloth bag from the wooden cupboard nailed to the wall.
"I'm going to pretend to be white for you. Are they my grandmother and uncle here? ”
"No, it's the owner of the pearl farm, and they said they were hungry and wanted to go to my house for a light meal before leaving."
She couldn't figure out how they could go to their house for dinner.
Is it because the eldest sister gave them two pieces of candy?
The village chief's daughter-in-law opened the lid of a clay pot under the cupboard, reached in and scooped a large bowl of white noodles, and when she heard this, she put the bowl of white noodles back into the jar: "Oh, that's a nobleman!" White noodles do not make. I've heard that those nobles are used to eating white rice!
It just so happened that the child's father received a bundle from the student yesterday, including a bag of polished rice, and I will fill you with two catties! You steam a pot of white rice for others to eat! ”
She opened another rice bowl and scooped a few cylinders of rice into the bag.
This kind of rice tube made of bamboo, there are eight taels of rice in one tube.
"Two catties, I'll count you as ten pounds! I'm going to catch an old hen for you! That chicken hasn't eaten lately, and I suspect it's too old to eat, and I'm trying to slaughter it today!"
The village chief's daughter-in-law stuffed the cloth bag containing rice into the hands of the Feng family's aunt.
The aunt of the Feng family took the cloth bag: "Sister-in-law, there are four or five catties of rice here!" ”
She clearly saw the village chief's daughter-in-law scooping five cylinders of rice.
That rice tube is still made by her man, and a tube of rice is just eight taels!
"My rice tube has been replaced, and it's only two catties! Don't believe me, I'll show you? ”
Aunt Feng: "........"
The scale of the village chief's house is different from his own, and he doesn't know what is wrong!
The scales of one's own house are always heavier than those of the village chief's house.
The village chief's daughter-in-law said: There is a problem with your scale!
The village chief's daughter-in-law walked out of the kitchen and went to the chicken coop in the backyard.
She was in a flock of chickens, and at a glance she took a fancy to the fattest and toned one!
She stepped forward with a few arrows, grabbed the big fat hen with her backhand.
The big hen fluttered a few times in her hand and then stopped.
She turned the chicken upside down and brushed the hair off its ass to take a look.
Eggs are going to be laid in the past two days, but no eggs have been laid, and this kind of hen that is about to lay eggs and has not laid eggs is the best!
She walked out of the chicken coop, casually smoked a few straws in the firewood stack, tied a few circles on the chicken feet, twisted it, stuffed the remaining straw head into the middle of the chicken feet, and handed it to the Feng family's aunt: "Here, this chicken is about three catties, and I will charge you fifty yuan!" ”
The aunt of the Feng family took the chicken, the gross weight was definitely more than five catties, and she glanced at the chicken's buttocks: "Sister-in-law, this chicken is about to lay eggs!" You can catch me one that is too old to lay eggs, and the old hen will make up for it! ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law also knew that she couldn't get over it: "Okay, the old hen is a supplement, but if the meat is not stewed for a long time, it can't be bitten!" People come to dinner, and you want them to wait for your meal for an afternoon? My family is not short of such a hen that lays eggs! Chicken is the best at this time. Take it back! Say hello well, and strive to be able to do long-term work in their pearl pond in the future, if you can, why worry about not having money to treat Lin Lin in the future, right? ”
She knows that the really rich and noble people, where to eat chicken is to eat those old hens who can't lay eggs!
Repair? Make up the fart! The nutrients in the body are absorbed by the eggs! What else to make up?
People only eat this kind of chicken that is about to lay eggs, but has never laid eggs.
At this time, the chicken is smooth and tender, chewy, and will not chew without moving, and has a sense of sweetness.
"Then this chicken is more than 50 wen, take it out and sell it for 200 wen......."
The village chief's daughter-in-law picked up a piece of fat and thin pork belly from the vegetable basket, cut a cured duck under the porch, and packed some mushrooms that she had soaked and prepared to stew chicken at night, all of which were packed into a bamboo basket, and then took a bowl and filled a little oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, afraid that her home would not be complete. This thing is expensive, she is worried that it will be spilled too much, and it will be wasted, so she doesn't have much.
She handed her the two-tiered food basket: "Oh, where do you get so much nonsense, I collect this silver, I can take as much as I like!" Hurry back and cook! Don't worry about these things, and then compensate me when you make money in the future, okay? ”
After saying that, the village chief's daughter-in-law drove her out of the house half-pushed and half-hurried!
An aunt who lived diagonally across from the village chief's house saw all this in the courtyard.
Her eyes looked back and forth on the things in the Feng family's aunt's hand a few times and said, "Dachun daughter-in-law, just now I saw your eldest sister bring two sons and young ladies who are dressed better than the gods and look better than the gods into the house. This is the nobleman of the city. It's even more expensive than the young lady of the landlord's house in our village! Isn't that the man from the Pearl Pond? I've heard it's a big deal!
Hey, aren't you afraid to invite people to dinner?! Is this noble man so easy to greet? In case you eat your stuff and have diarrhea, it is possible to cut off your head at that time!
I advise you to send them away quickly! Don't be greedy for that little gift! Otherwise, I don't know how to die! ”
When she came back just now, she saw that the steward of the pearl pond had entered Feng Dachun's house with a lot of things!
And two pieces of cloth! It's worth five or six hundred wen!
Her eyes were red when she saw it.
The village chief's daughter-in-law snorted, "Phew! Don't listen to the daughter-in-law of the big cow, it's just a meal, and it's not poisoned! How can you have diarrhea! If you really drive people out, isn't that offending people? Go back and cook! ”
If she didn't have to cook for her father-in-law, she wanted to help her, for fear that Dachun's daughter-in-law would not be able to do it alone!
Aunt Feng nodded, she was also afraid of making the guests wait for a long time.
So he hurried back with his things.
In the evening, I get paid and pay some of the money.
But with so many things, one hundred and fifty wen must not be enough, and the polished rice is only forty or fifty wen a catty.
But don't be afraid, there is a hundred and fifty salaries a day, and I heard that she can do it for twenty days, she can't calculate how much she can earn, in short, a lot!
The money for medicine is enough for several months.
The child's father can also earn some money by selling things like bamboo baskets.
This work was introduced to her by the village chief's daughter-in-law.
When the time comes, 600 wen will be given to the village chief's daughter-in-law.
"Good intentions are not rewarded, I am telling the truth! How rich and noble people are! Eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, will you get used to eating your coarse tea and light rice? Maybe you'll have diarrhea! ”
"Phew! People who eat your food may have diarrhea, but Dachun's daughter-in-law has clean hands and feet, but she is not like you! "Sloppy and lazy!
The village chief's daughter-in-law turned around and went back to her yard, picked up a wooden basin and continued to wash rice and cook.
The daughter-in-law wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to fight with the village chief's daughter-in-law.
Her son is still learning to read and write from the village chief!
