Chapter 4 Exchange money
Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of irrepressible excitement.
Bending down to hold the two pheasants in his hands, and then casually tied them together with vines and threw them into the bamboo basket behind him, Wang Xiao hummed a little song and went down the mountain.
Tsk tsk, today is a real full load!
When he was about to leave the back mountain, Wang Xiao also deliberately threw some dry branches into the bamboo basket to cover the things inside, so as not to have a shallow person like the woman of the Wang family who came to find him unhappy.
As the sky darkened, the men working in the fields began to move home.
After seeing Wang Xiao, those people cast pity and sympathy eyes, and sighed that the baby without his father and mother would not be able to live, and he would not be able to eat and dress warmly, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to survive this year.
Wang Xiao heard these gossips, rolled his eyes and didn't bother to deal with them.
"Girl, you wait."
Suddenly, a man called out to Wang Xiao from behind, she turned her head to look over, and saw a simple man with thick eyebrows walking briskly towards her.
"Girl, come to your uncle's house for dinner in the evening, your aunt is estimated to have cooked the meal."
Wang Xiao shook his head and smiled at the man: "Thank you, uncle, but don't worry, I still have food at home." ”
The man was stunned, his lips squirmed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say what was in his heart.
He sighed: "That's okay, girl, come to your uncle's house when you don't have anything to eat, don't feel embarrassed, how much food can you eat as a child, you don't have to be polite to your uncle." ”
Wang Xiao nodded vigorously, and then silently remembered the man's appearance in his heart.
This man's surname is Zhao, and he was very good to her before, and from time to time he would send some firewood, rice, oil and salt to their family.
This family is good at everything, but no matter how hard they try, they can't give birth to a daughter.
Wang Xiao turned around and walked towards his house, silently thinking about the future in his heart as he walked.
With so much to harvest today, tomorrow I have to go to the town to see if there are any ways to make money.
If you become a rich man in the future, then you will definitely not be that cold person, you are kind to yourself today, and you will do your best to help tomorrow.
The ancients have made it very clear - everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others.
No matter what era or environment, it is too difficult and too few to be able to lend a helping hand to others and send charcoal in the snow.
There was a dead silence at home, and Xiao Hei, who had been hungry for a long time, hurriedly ran over and rubbed her ankle with his head as soon as he saw Wang Xiao coming home.
Wang Xiao quickly dived into the water to cook, cut the mushrooms he found in the back mountain into small pieces, and then went to his yard to pluck a green onion.
There are still a few drops of canola oil left, and the table salt is still enough to support the meal.
Although there are too few spices for seasoning, Wang Xiao's eyebrows and eyes are squeezed together, because she is going to cook a meat dish today.
The pork sent by Li Baoping can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
Cut the pork into thumb-sized pieces and toss it into the pan, rapeseed oil and pork are mixed together, and the heat gives off an attractive aroma.
The pot crackled, and it didn't take long for the pork to become crystal clear.
The minced green onions and mushrooms that had been prepared long ago were thrown in, and the rest was stir-fried.
After just a few shovels, the food in the pot was dyed with a color as beautiful as the red glow on the horizon.
Add water and salt and wait for the juice to receive.
The pork fat and thinness are evenly matched, and the wild mushrooms in the mountains are also soaked in the fragrance of pork, not to mention that Wang smiled, even Xiao Hei was so hungry that he couldn't make a sound.
Wang Xiao couldn't control his saliva for a long time, put the dishes on the plate, and then filled himself with a bowl of millet porridge and started the meal!
Of course, it is important to eat by yourself, but you must not forget your little friend Xiaohei!
Wang Xiao poured a bowl of millet porridge for Xiao Hei, then gritted his teeth again, took out two pieces of pork from his bowl and put them in.
The little black wolfed down and ate it, and seeing this, Wang Xiao finally showed a relaxed smile.
Probably because all the ingredients come from the mountains, there is no need to add too many spices at all, and just a pinch of salt can make the food lively.
Wang Xiao, who was frantically pulling food into her mouth, suddenly laughed for no reason - she thought of the Wang family woman again, thanks to the fact that her home was far away from her house, otherwise, if she smelled such a fragrant smell wafting from her house today, she would definitely ask for it with a shy face.
One person and one cat silently enjoyed their own beauty, Wang Xiao suddenly felt that this kind of life was not bad, but the pork was not marinated in advance, and the taste was not strong enough.
If you still have some peppercorns or tangerine peel left at home, it is estimated that this meal will be even more delicious.
Needless to say, the mushrooms are soaked in rapeseed oil under the double layer of pork, and the firm texture makes people want to chew it for a lifetime.
After taking a bite of mushrooms and then taking a sip of slightly sweet millet porridge, Wang Xiao could clearly feel a warm current slowly flowing from his throat to his abdomen, and then tumbling in his stomach a few times before spreading to all parts of his body.
It tasted so ......
After eating, the sky had completely darkened, and Wang Xiao's poor family didn't even have a kerosene lamp, so they could only wash the dishes and chopsticks in the dark and then turn around and go to sleep.
Lying on the haystack with some stinging skin, Wang Xiao shook his head helplessly, and complained: "This condition is too difficult, and it was better to go to the countryside than this, right?" ”
That's what he said, but Wang Xiao is now very content.
Being able to be reborn here is a new beginning and opportunity for her.
There's no clean and tidy apartment and no comfortable Simmons, but it's good enough to fill your stomach and not starve to death here.
Wang Xiao thought about those messy things in his head, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning, Wang Xiao packed up her things and went out with a bamboo basket on her back, but this time she did not go to the back mountain, but to the town more than a dozen roads away from the village.
The astragalus can be sold, and the two pheasants have to be kept, Wang Xiao still thinks about supplementing himself with nutrition from time to time in the future.
Zhengyang Town is located in the southeast of Lan Township, with various shops lining both sides of the road.
Although it is a town, but it is not luxurious, the shops and houses are built with strong locust wood, the king who looks at it is amazed, and the heart says that this locust wood and locust wood are tightly bonded together?
Don't look at Wang Xiao is still just a child, but after all, she still retains the memories and experience of her previous life, and after asking passers-by and learning the location of the pharmacy, Wang Xiao went there with a bamboo basket on her back.
She was still thinking about whether she should go to the vegetable market to buy some daily necessities after selling the bamboo basket of astragalus, and suddenly sniffled as she walked—it was the smell of Chinese medicine!
