Where can people like them afford to eat rice?

There is a mouthful of corn and wild vegetable porridge, which is already excellent.

Even during the New Year's holidays, I am reluctant to spoil the white rice and rice.

And the bowls of rice in front of them were all high, and the portion was quite large at first glance.

At this time, Yuan Baozhu brought up a heavy pot of cured rabbit meat, which was even more shocking to them.

The youngest Yuan Zhizhi swallowed a few times in his throat and asked softly, "Dad, is this eating bran vegetables?" ”

If this is eating bran vegetables, is it okay for him to eat bran vegetables for the rest of his life?

Yuan Jin'an had expected him to ask this question, and snorted: "What does it mean to not forget your worries, and what does it mean to take precautions?" ”

Yuan Zhizhi shrunk his neck: "I haven't been to the clan study either, how do you know those crepes?" ”

"You don't know these words, you don't even understand the truth?"

After Yuan Jinan finished speaking, he also sighed in his heart.

When he was young, although he was not rich, he was still able to go, and the bundle of ten pieces of meat per year, not to mention that every family could afford it, at least most of the clansmen would send their children to the clan to learn a few words and understand some truths.

Some of them are more confident, and they will send their children to learn some superficial scriptures and widely circulated classics for several years in a row.

He was lucky at that time, he was the only child in the family, and there were two acres of thin fields, and he went to school for three years.

Until he grew up, the harsh taxes gradually increased, the family was overwhelmed, and the clan never went to the school again.

Then he married a wife and had children, and his life became more and more difficult, five sons and one daughter, except for the youngest son who had passed out since he was a child, the rest of them were not able to go to the clan school for a day.

Now that I think about it, I owe them too.

Yuan Jinan picked up the chopsticks and took the chopsticks rabbit meat first, but he felt that it was not as delicious as before, like chewing wax.

When the others saw this, they also fell silent.

It was still Chen who started a round.

"Eat it quickly, it's not fresh when it's cold."

Only then did someone move the chopsticks, and this movement couldn't stop.

He sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat in her mouth, and the fresh fragrance even made her feel sour from the tip of her nose, straight to her eyes.

She hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and her three sons in the family have a lot of food, and there is no land at home, and she has to get up early and raise silkworms every year.

But they are overwhelmed by the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they can't make a living just by farming.

Barely enough to let the child eat half full, and she tightened her belt and gritted her teeth to carry it.

Now that she has an acre of land, she really sees a glimmer of hope.

Although the land is only one acre, it can save fifty percent of the rent, and if the year is good, at least the children can eat more.

Thinking of the child, He silently sandwiched a few pieces of meat, put it at the bottom of the bowl, and didn't eat it himself, just thinking about taking it home for the children to eat after the meal.

In front of her in-laws, she didn't dare to make it too obvious, sandwiched three pieces of meat, and buried her head in her heart to eat.

The tip of her nose smelled the salty aroma of rabbit meat, and she only thought that this was the best meal she had ever eaten in her life.

At this moment, there was another piece of meat in her bowl, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Chen's retracted chopsticks, only to see that the pair of chopsticks stayed in the rabbit meat basin for a while, and gave her two more concubines, one of whom clamped a piece.

After doing this, she spoke: "Eat quickly, everything for the children has been left in the pot, enough for them to eat." ”

He only then discovered that her two concubines were also acting like her, thinking about leaving delicious meat for the children at home.

At this time, as soon as Chen spoke, the other two had already sandwiched the meat into their mouths.

He suppressed the heat in his eyes and put the rabbit meat he had bitten into his mouth.

Many years later, He recalled this meal, looked at the children and grandchildren in front of him, and still couldn't help but sigh, that meal was a meal that she would never forget for the rest of her life, because that meal changed the fate of their family.

At this time, He didn't know the future life, and he was only full of excitement about this bowl of fragrant rabbit meat.

When he was satisfied, Chan packed up three more baskets and put all the food together for them to take back while it was hot.

Before leaving, Yuan Jin'an stopped Yuan Lizhi: "I heard that you cut down another batch of trees in the winter of last year?" ”

Yuan Lizhi didn't know Yuan Jin'an's intentions, so he only nodded yes.

"If you have no other use, sell us some of this wood."

At this time, the other two families had left, leaving only Yuan Lizhi and He.

Yuan Lizhi did not shy away from it, and only asked the question in his heart: "Dad, do you want to plant mushrooms again?" ”

Yuan Jin'an saw that he already had a number in his heart, and he didn't want to hide it from him, lest he know the real purpose of that batch of wood in the future, thinking that they were deceiving him, and there was a gap in his heart.

"Since you have guessed, I will not hide it from you, that batch of wood is indeed used to grow mushrooms, if you are willing to sell it to us, you will be given fifty yuan for one piece."

Yuan Lizhi had already been mentally prepared, and he didn't think it was strange that since his father's house reported that a large number of mushrooms had been produced in rotten wood, someone told him that this mushroom should have his share, but he couldn't stupidly eat this dumb loss.

Only he knew in his heart that it was impossible for those rotten trees to produce mushrooms, and someone must have done something to give birth to those mushrooms.

He didn't know that method, so he didn't think that his father and mother were taking advantage of him, even if he knew that his father and mother had made a lot of money, he never thought about getting any benefits from it.

Just because he knows that in his hands, rotten wood can only be rotten wood, and only in the hands of people who really have the ability can rotten wood become a treasure pot for gathering wealth.

The skills are not as good as others, and he has no other ideas except admiration in his heart.

"You can just take those trees if you want, and I've got the fields, and that's enough."

When Yuan Jinan heard this, he didn't insist, but only exchanged looks with Chen and Yuan Lingchen, and then said: "I won't force you if you don't want money, but I have to ask you about another matter." ”

"Daddy has something to say."

"Ling Yu is already nineteen, I heard that there is a good strength, after a while we will plant mushrooms, if he is free, just call him to help, if he is not free, forget it."

Yuan Lizhi was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he couldn't help but reply when he heard He Shixian: "If he is empty, he will be empty at any time." ”

He Shi was excited, what her father meant, she understood as soon as she heard it, this was to pass on the method of planting mushrooms to their children.

The situation of her own family, no one knows better than herself, although she gave birth to three sons, but the family is not rich, her eldest son is about to be twenty, and it is not easy to talk about the family affairs, because he can't get the bride price, and he is yellow.

Nowadays, the poorer the family, the more reluctant they are to marry their daughters, and they want to sell their daughters at a good price to make the family have a better life, otherwise they would rather stay at home to raise silkworms and reel, which is also a labor.

It's just that they are in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law, and the money they save for a lifetime will be spent on starting a family for their children.

Although there are some who love their daughters and are reluctant to let their daughters be wronged, it is not their turn.

The family is too poor, and no one is willing to marry their daughter to their family to suffer.

Now it's good, if her child really learns the method of growing mushrooms, even if it's just a little fur, it is enough for him to be useful, with only one pair of hands, why worry about not finding a good daughter-in-law?
