Chapter 6 A Good Account for Raising Chickens
Now that Diancui has said this, he can't take it back.
Anyway, there is no one to dig the grass left and right, and Yueying, who has strong bones and is active, is the candidate.
"I'll go!" Yue Yingxing rushed to the root of the wall, picked up the head and the willow basket and was about to leave.
"Wait, it's late tonight, don't go, let's prepare the meal first, the provincial mother should be angry when she comes back," Diancui shouted.
Yueying patted her head and said that it was so dangerous, she forgot to cook and had to eat a flat meal.
It was a cold autumn night, Yueying thought about moving Diancui into the west room, Diancui smiled at her gratefully, she was embarrassed to scratch her head and cook.
At the right moment, the fourth family of Qian Lao came back from the house of the rich man Liu as usual, and as soon as he entered the door, he went to the inner room and took out the silver tag. Today, she got a penny and a half cents of silver, and weighed it on the basket, less than a penny and a half. Qian Laosi's family was so angry that she scolded her mother, but she asked her to go to the rich man's housekeeper to settle the account, but she would never dare. I had to put the less than one and a half cents of silver together with the seven coins of silver given by Lao Tzu Niang, and returned to the hall with a blue face.
At this time, Qian Laosi came in from outside, shouting that he was starving to death, and frowned unhappily when he saw the clear soup and noodle soup in the pot, and secretly thought about eating, and went to the widow's house to ask for a pot of wine and a plate of fried peanuts in soybean oil.
It's a tasteless noodle soup, Qian Laosi slipped out and drank three bowls, and after eating a bowl of Diancui, Yueying was about to add another bowl, and was slapped on the back of her hand by Qian Laosi's family.
"If you don't work and eat so much, you're not afraid of being damned! The leg is broken, the arm is not broken, you can cook the food tomorrow, Yueying will go with me to Rich Liu's house to help cook. Qian Laosi's family snorted.
Yueying was unhappy and looked at Dian Cui, who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Yueying felt aggrieved, gasped, and muttered, "I don't want to go to ......"
The two eyes of the Qian Lao Si family were stunned, and they saw that a big slap was about to fall on Yueying's head.
"Mother, I heard that when you help cook in a big family, you will pick up some leftovers and give them to your subordinates, is this true?" Diancui suddenly asked weakly.
When Qian Laosi heard this, he came to his senses: "Yes, yes, I have also heard about it, I heard that the rich man Liu's family has a lot of money, wouldn't it be easy to enjoy some delicious dishes!" At the end, he looked at her thick and round body, frowned, and said, "Isn't it the Hun family, you are ...... in the middle of the road."
Qian Laosi's old face turned red when he heard this, and he stepped forward to grab Qian Laosi's ears and scolded: "You, who kills a thousand knives, dare to suspect that the old lady is stealing food, you are a thief and go to the widow's house to buy wine and drink, and dare to frame someone else!" Rich Liu's family is rich, and it is also the most searchable, I worked hard for a month to get a penny and a half silver salary, and when I go home, I am still angry with you for killing a thousand knives, I don't live me! ”
Rich Liu is well-known for his searching, but people don't search for themselves, and if they can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, there will naturally be leftovers. None of them are not hungry, and when the main family finishes eating, it is not impossible to pick up some leftovers, but there are too many people, and the ideas in the hands of Qian Laosi's family are only enough for her to fight tooth sacrifices.
"Mother's monthly salary is a penny and a half of silver, and if my sister goes, it will be a penny of silver at most," Diancui looked at the fierce appearance of Qian Laosi's family, and couldn't help but feel a familiar fear in his heart, but when he thought of his "big plan", Diancui swallowed hard, and said softly:
"If my mother goes to buy ten chicks, my sister and I will be able to raise them at home, and we will be able to lay eggs in the spring of next year, not to mention that a chicken can lay an egg in two days, it will be one hundred and fifty eggs a month, and an egg can be sold for one penny, and it will be one hundred and fifty wen a month, except for the twenty wen to buy chicken cubs, and I will be able to earn fifty more wen miles than my sister going to Liu Caizhu's house every month in the future."
"Don't worry about the chicken's eating mother, Sister Yueying can go to the mountains to dig some juicy roots, and the insects in the autumn mountains can't move, and you can also pick up some more insects and raise them with rotten leaves. If it comes to next spring, you can feed any wild vegetables and grass seeds. In addition to this, if the father and mother want to eat meat, when it comes to the New Year's Day, one is killed and cooked, and it is also fat, tender and fresh. ”
