Chapter 15: This girl is smarter than I thought
Jiang Erhu heard the movement outside clearly, and when he saw Shu Xiaobai walking in with a smile on his face, he said, "Congratulations." ”
"Hear it all? I didn't expect it, let me tell you, I will earn more silver in the future, and then we will eat and drink spicy food every day. Shu Xiaobai patted his chest and said.
If it weren't for the events of the afternoon, Jiang Erhu would have felt that Shu Xiaobai was bragging, and this would have happened, he thought that he didn't believe Shu Xiaobai's words at first, but he had nothing to say.
"Brother Erhu, tell me what you can buy with this tael of silver?" Shu Xiaobai sat down at the wooden table, ready to study.
Jiang Erhu was surprised: "You don't know? ”
"Hehe, I've never seen silver." Accidentally, Shu Xiaobai told the truth, and just as she was thinking about how to remedy it, she heard Jiang Erhu's tone of pity: "It's hard for you." ”
He must have treated her as the original owner of poverty and whiteness, so it was just right, she explained.
"Then tell me about it."
"One or two pieces of silver can buy a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, ten catties of meat, and you can also go to the restaurant to eat a table of wine and food."
Hearing this, Shu Xiaobai smiled: "Did you often go to the restaurant to drink when you were in the border city?" Tell me your story in the border city. ”
By the way, I haven't heard Jiang Erhu tell him about his story in the border city, it's not enough to just watch costume dramas, what people filmed in the previous life may not be real.
I didn't think to ask him before, and I wasn't embarrassed to mention his sadness, so I took this opportunity to ask quickly.
The border city is an eternal pain in Jiang Erhu's heart, especially the battle of Shiguan, his father died, the entire army was gone, he didn't die under the desperate protection of the real Jiang Erhu, just thinking of this, his heart was like a knife, not to mention it.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he raised his eyes and saw Shu Xiaobai's expectant expression, he couldn't bear to refuse.
After a long time, he said lightly: "There is nothing to talk about, the weather in the border city is not good, it is very cold, there are only a few restaurants, and the army is strictly controlled, how can I go often." ”
Seeing that Jiang Erhu's tone was a little low, Shu Xiaobai knew that he didn't want to talk about the border city, but she was embarrassed for him, so she deliberately pretended to be boring and said, "When I hear you say this, I don't think it's fun at all, and I don't want to listen to it." Then she lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Do you want to go to the stove room to see my results today?" ”
"Okay." Jiang Erhu replied quickly, and Shu Xiaobai no longer asked about the situation in the border city, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Shu Xiaobai proudly followed Jiang Erhu into the stove room.
A bag full of rice and a bag full of noodles appeared in front of Jiang Erhu.
He was stunned: "So much. ”
"yes, that's enough for us to eat for two or three months." Shu Xiaobai said excitedly, and after looking around, she was worried again: "There is no place to hide things in this house, what if my sister-in-law sees that we have so much food and is upset again?" ”
Hearing Shu Xiaobai say this, Jiang Erhu wanted to laugh, thinking that she was too cute, and actually wanted to hide the grain, but thinking of Jiang's person, it was really possible to pretend to be poor to ask for food, and immediately put it away.
He thought for a while and said, "It's better to put it in that room, with me guarding it, I guess even the rats don't dare to approach." ”
Shu Xiaobai burst out laughing, he couldn't speak for a long time, Jiang Erhu was so right, with him guarding the rice noodles, no one dared to make up his mind.
I didn't expect Jiang Erhu to look fat, but carrying a bag of rice was as easy as carrying a chicken, Shu Xiaobai suddenly realized why she didn't feel it when he carried her to bed in the past two nights, the weight of the original owner may not be much heavier than a bag of rice.
The worries were solved, and I couldn't sleep as soon as I was happy.
Outside the window, the moon rose, and the bright moonlight poured in, illuminating the room white.
Shu Xiaobai slept on the floor against the wall, staring at the boss with both eyes, thinking about his thoughts.
Tomorrow go up the mountain to play more game and come back, Steward Zhang will definitely be able to buy some others, she took the silver to the county to go shopping, one is to buy daily necessities, the other is to see what the county looks like, maybe there will be a chance to go to the county seat to develop in the future, and prepare for the time to be ripe in the future.
Hey, what else can I do right now besides planting sweet potatoes and hunting in the mountains?
The private school has to be put on hold for the time being, she wants to say that she knows astronomy and geography, and she will definitely be tied up as a monster, and she, a little nurse, is good at bandaging people's wounds, and she really doesn't have the confidence to teach children to read.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Shu Xiaobai's mind, how could she forget about this, not to mention the West Village, even the original owner's East Village does not have a doctor, everyone can only find some herbs to eat by themselves when they are sick, or they will hold on, she can open a clinic to save the life.
No, no, don't be kidding, she can't even be literate, how to open a clinic.
Think again, think again.
Jiang Erhu didn't fall asleep either, he soon heard Shu Xiaobai snoring a few nights ago, and he still listened to Shu Xiaobai tossing and turning tonight and didn't know what he was thinking.
I couldn't sleep with excitement because I earned a silver tael or two.
What a kid.
I didn't hear any movement for a long time, Jiang Erhu came back to his senses, and heard Shu Xiaobai's slight snoring, it turned out that he was asleep, he got out of bed gently, carried Shu Xiaobai to the plank bed and then returned to the table to sit, although Shu Xiaobai and he emphasized that he wanted to sleep on the floor, but how could he bear to let her sleep on the ground, so he waited for her to fall asleep and carried her to the plank bed, and the next day while she was not awake, he changed her back to the ground.
I didn't sleep well at night, and when Shu Xiaobai opened his eyes, he found that it was already sunny outside the window.
I got up and looked up, there was no one on the wooden bed, hey, where did Jiang Erhu go, and saw that the door was empty, she quickly pushed the door and walked out.
In the distance, a man was walking on the wasteland with a bucket.
Isn't that Jiang Erhu? What is he doing?
Shu Xiaobai looked at it, it turned out that Jiang Erhu was carrying water to water the seedlings, he wouldn't think that she would be tired from working until she slept until she slept here.
Shu Xiaobai was a little embarrassed, wanted to call him, and thought about it again, it was a good thing that he could take the initiative to go out to work, or don't disturb him and go cook first.
I was finally able to eat rice.
Shu Xiaobai first picked a large handful of wild vegetables, washed them with boiling water, then chopped them and mixed them with salt to make vegetables, and then began to boil water and steam rice with excitement.
The rice steamed for the first time looked like thick porridge because of too much water, but Shu Xiaobai was still very happy.
Extinguishing the firewood in the stove and letting the rice steam for a while, Shu Xiaobai went out and prepared to call Jiang Erhu to eat.
Jiang Erhu had already walked over here, looking at him a little struggling, Shu Xiaobai couldn't help it, and stepped forward: "Why are you going to work, didn't I say that all the work at home will be handed over to me?" ”
"That's not good, just eat and don't work, I'm afraid that the wooden bed will soon be crushed by me." Jiang Erhu said seriously.
I didn't expect him to joke, Shu Xiaobai smiled, it was great that he could think like this, she thought that she needed to do some ideological work before he could figure it out.
"Alright then, I'll allow you to do what you can for our family's wooden bed." Shu Xiaobai said as he followed Jiang Erhu back to the house.
"You sit down, I'll serve the rice, but this is the first time I've made rice and I can't do it well, don't laugh at me."
Shu Xiaobai went to the stove room to serve food, Jiang Erhu looked at the door of the room and was distracted, how could he laugh at her, not only would he not laugh at her, no matter how unpalatable the rice she cooked, he would eat it all.
A smell of rice rushed to her nose, Shu Xiaobai came in with rice and vegetables, she first filled a full bowl and handed it to him: "Here, eat more, I have worked hard today." ”
Seeing that she only served half a bowl of rice, Jiang Erhu couldn't help but ask, "Why do you eat so little?" ”
"I have a small amount of food, hurry up and eat it, the rice is not delicious when it is cold." Shu Xiaobai said with a smile.
Seeing Jiang Erhu working in the wasteland, she thought about it, once he started working, the amount of food would increase, and they only had a bag of rice and a bag of noodles now, and they had to save food if there was no follow-up, she didn't work today, so she could eat less.
Wait until you cook two sweet potatoes and take them up the mountain to make lunch.
After eating, Jiang Erhu rested, she washed and scrubbed, boiled sweet potatoes when washing, and when the sweet potatoes were cooked, she left two on the table in the house to make lunch for Jiang Erhu, and Shu Xiaobai carried the sweet potatoes up the mountain.
This time she said that she was going up the mountain, Jiang Erhu did not stop her, he should have heard her talk to the housekeeper last night, and knew that she promised to send wild meat to Zhang's house again.
Shu Xiaobai hummed a song while climbing the mountain.
This time, she was familiar with the road, and soon came to the mountain, still going to the woods first, there are hares and pheasants in the woods, and if you are lucky, you can also pick up wild mountain eggs.
As he walked, he gently tested with a wooden stick, and sure enough, after walking for a while, a pheasant flew out.
Great, Shu Xiaobai threw the wooden stick, pressed the defense button, and only heard a sound, and the pheasant fell.
What a beautiful pheasant, as cute as the hare that day, but now I have to sacrifice you, I hope you don't blame me, Shu Xiaobai stood in front of the pheasant, muttering quietly.
Jiang Erhu, who followed her from afar, didn't see her firing a laser under the strong light, only saw the wooden stick in her hand raised, and then put it down, there was an extra pheasant in her hand, which was too surprising.
Tie the pheasant around her waist, and then carefully pull the pheasant where it just flew out, and sure enough, Shu Xiaobai pulled out a bunch of wild eggs, and she shouted excitedly: "Sure enough, there are still eggs, great." ”
She squatted down, found a bunch of branches and began to weave them, and in a short time a small cage was made, and then each egg was carefully wrapped with grass, and the eggs were wrapped in the grass and placed in the cage, so that they would not break.
After getting the eggs, Shu Xiaobai picked up the small cage and smiled with satisfaction.
I don't know why, it's so rewarding to do everything in this life.
"This girl is smarter than I thought, and she can't seem to get too close." Jiang Erhu muttered to himself, and his body gradually slowed down.
Shu Xiaobai had no idea that someone she considered an injured person was following her from afar, and her attention was all focused on finding her prey.
