"You're talking about corn, right? I've seen it, and it's delicious, but there aren't many people who plant it, because many people don't know how to grow it, and they're afraid of spoiling it. "This uncle has traveled north and south, and he still has some knowledge.

Jiang Yi hurriedly asked; "Is this thing expensive?"

"Because it's scarce, it also costs seven or eight copper pounds." The uncle replied casually.

In fact, many things appear at the beginning, and many people always reject them because they are not familiar.

It is said that when potatoes first came to Europe, it was difficult to promote them, and many farmers were reluctant to plant them.

Now that there is not much food, it is impossible for a peasant with little knowledge to waste half a year and risk his life to grow crops that are unknown and uncertain whether he can grow them alive.

Because they can't afford to fail.

Jiang Yi heard that it was not expensive, and said happily; "Great, can you bring some back for me? Ten pounds, raw. ”

"That's fine." As she spoke, the sweet potato was praised, and the uncle took it and followed her back to the camphor pavilion in the west of the town, and it happened that Jiang Zhen also came back.

Jiang Yi gave the money and said to the uncle; "When you find something, bring it here to my brother, who picks up the goods here every day."

The uncle accepted the money and happily agreed.

"Sister, what did you buy?"

Jiang Yi found a relatively small, broken sweet potato and handed it to him, this is the sweet potato I told you last time, it is very refreshing to eat raw, slightly sweet, and delicious when cooked.

The younger brother took it in surprise, wiped it clean on his clothes, and took a bite.

"Well, that's how it tastes, so-so."

Jiang Yi smiled slightly.

Eating a raw sweet potato is certainly not as good as a variety of sweet and juicy fruits, but this sweet potato can be used as a life-saving food.

Although the nutrition is monotonous and incomplete, in a disaster year, it is no problem to hang one's life, and it is better than grass root bark Guanyin soil.

When she got home, she found a large vat, packed the sweet potatoes and pressed them, and placed them in a dry and ventilated position.

After you get it done, go to the grocery store.

Before I arrived at the door of the store, I saw a woman leaving in a hurry, and I knew it was Deng Erdi by looking at the back.

Jiang Yi entered the store and saw that a few people were shopping, and Bu Ru, a slow and unresponsive guy, was in a hurry.

She used to help this aunt get two catties of oil, and another uncle made eight taels of wine, and I don't know whose little broken child took a copper coin of caramel candy.

Treating people as they go, Jiang Yi asked; "Is this caramel selling well today? It's almost sold out in two days? ”

"Just now, my sister-in-law came over and said that she would take some back for her little nephew to eat, so she packed two catties and left."

"Oh," Jiang Yi didn't say anything, after all, it's just a pound or two of sugar, and now she earns twenty or thirty copper a day in the grocery store alone, and it's nothing at all, after all, it's for children.

She's not a scheming person, and no matter how bad she is with her sister-in-law who can't figure it out, it's not about children, right?

"Big brother came back today and told us to go back for dinner in the evening."

The three Bu Confucian brothers, the eldest Bu Xiu will go to the county town to find some work every year during the winter farming, he went to the city this year before Jiang Yi fell ill last time, and now he arrived home for six or seven days before the New Year, and he went for forty or fifty days.

"I've been going for so long this time, so I've brought a lot of money back." Jiang Yi asked casually.

"Hey, don't say it, come back and ask me for 500 money......" Speaking of which, there are some branches.

"You gave it to him?"

"Yes, he said that he didn't find any work in the city this year, and the money he earned was only enough to chew in the city, and he was afraid that he wouldn't have money to go home for the New Year, so he ......"

Jiang Yi gave him a blank look and said with a slight disappointment; "You idiot."

"It's me who is not good, I didn't say a word to you before I took the money, I just think that my brother, if I don't give it, ......"

Jiang Yi knew that he had been sick since he was a child, and he didn't understand all aspects of human affairs, and he had soft ears and a kind heart, so if he lent out the money, he would definitely not get it back.

Although the family is better now than before, there are two or three thousand copper in cash alone, but it is not rich, and he took 500 casually, I really don't know what to say about him.

There is a way that mercy is not in charge of soldiers and righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and it seems that this money has to be grabbed by himself, so he said; "In the future, if you study hard, if anyone wants to ask you to borrow money, you will ask him to ask me, okay?"

"Oh, okay." As he spoke, he obediently read the book.

Although his emotional intelligence in life is almost poor, his IQ in reading is not low, and he has read a book of "University" to him, and he is willing to study or ask the old master if he doesn't understand.

Coupled with his interest, he was willing to read it seriously, and the old master praised him for his rapid progress.

Jiang Yi looked at this father-in-law who was slightly older than herself, but her mind was just a little brother, and her heart was filled with infinite warmth.

In the evening, Buyou, who was about the same age as Jiang Zhen, came over with his little nephew who was three or four years old and asked them to come over for dinner.

They took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went to make two catties of wine, a bag of tea and a bag of pastries.

It's been so long since we've been separated, and it's the first time I've gone home for dinner, so it's necessary to bring something with you.

After walking for four or five minutes, when I got home, my eldest brother was chopping chicken in the yard, and my mother-in-law, Xie Shi, was washing some vegetables in the well next to it.

After saying hello, the three of them entered the room, and Bu Shuigui sandwiched pieces of burning carbon into a carbon stove on the table in the hall.

It seems that the reason is that the weather is cold, ready to play the side stove, and there are white radishes, shiitake mushrooms, fried tofu, and water tofu on the table, just waiting for the chicken to be cooked.

Bu Ru put down the things he was carrying, and went to help Bu Shui Gui pick carbon.

Deng Erdi, who was sitting on the chair next to him, crossed Erlang's legs, and chewed candy in his mouth, glanced at Jiang Yi and didn't say anything.

Jiang Yi went in and called out to her father, and came out to help her mother-in-law wash the vegetables.

At this time, Deng Erdi stood up, walked to the table, and directly tore open the things that Bu Ru brought, and saw that the first package was tea, and pushed it aside, and then tore open the second package, and saw that it was a delicious pastry, so he took two pieces and stuffed it in his mouth.

Bu Shuigui frowned and said; "I'm going to eat right away, what pastries are you going to eat?"

"Can't I just taste what it tastes like? It's just stinky mung bean cake, what's so rare, it's a big deal to return it to you. Deng Erdi put back the rest of her hand and spit it back out after chewing a few bites in her mouth.

"I'm afraid you're going to go crazy and vomit back what you've eaten." Step water is expensive to drink.

Deng Erdi immediately quit, pushed the child who had just arrived home into her arms to the ground and sat down on the stool; "Ouch, I can't live this day, Buxiu, my mother married you dog mongrel, and you will be scolded for eating a piece of pastry, you unproductive thing, I have never been so angry at home, married to your family as a slave and maidservant, gave birth to a child for your family, and suffered from this bird anger. It's a fart. ”

After saying that, he left his son crying and ran back to the room to close the door.

scolding the old husband and dog mongrel in front of his in-laws, this is also enough, it is really strange in the world.
