After thinking about it, he still reminded, "Is the Wu family who bought your land here?" How do you sign the deed when you sell land? Will we wait for this autumn harvest to harvest the fields, or will we harvest them now? "There are two kinds of land sales, one is to directly package the land and the products in the field.

There is also a way to harvest the current season's production and then transfer the land.

I just don't know which one Mei Changan signed with the Wu family.

This reminded the Mei family, when they knew that Mei Chang'an had sold the land, everyone knew that the land was gone, but what about the grain grown on it?

In a few days, the fields will have to dig ditches, store water, hoe weeds, and apply fertilizer, and if they don't do anything well, the yield will be reduced.

For the farmer's family, it is absolutely not allowed to watch the fields be abandoned and the yield decreased.

Hearing what the patriarch said, Mei Zhongzhong remembered this stubble, "This Wu family has never been here, we don't know what the charter is." ”

The patriarch only reminded him, after all, it was a private matter of other people's families, and it was not easy to take care of it, so they knew it in their hearts, so they didn't speak.

Just thinking about it, it seems that in the future, I still have to take care of Brother Zhu's family more and have an incense relationship, in case in the future, this Mei family girl really does business, and the benefits are naturally needless to say.

Don't say anything else, this girl has such strength that she can kill wolves with men, whether she really killed wolves, just with this guts, this girl will not be able to make a big difference in the future.

After eating, it was already dark, and the last people who came to help yesterday were very satisfied.

An Huahao walked at the end, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

When he was about to walk out of the door, Mei Xiaotong suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly called out to him.

Under the concerned eyes of Mrs. Li and the Mei family, they dragged An Huahao to the gate, leaned into his ear, and said something.

An Huahao's eyes froze, "Why are you looking for me?" ”

"Saving grace—" Mei Xiaotong said in a slow, long voice.

The muscles in An Huahao's cheeks twitched, and he nodded dryly, "I know!" ”

Mei Xiaotong knew that An Huahao, since he agreed, he should not break his promise, so he turned around and went back to the courtyard with confidence.

Leaving An Huahao alone, he watched Mei Xiaotong turn around neatly, closed the door of the small courtyard, and closed the lively atmosphere of the Mei family.

The liveliness and warmth in the courtyard and the calmness outside the courtyard are like two worlds.

An Huahao stood for a while, and disappeared into the night.

Mei Xiaotong thought that she would pull An Huahao to speak alone, and she would be asked when she entered the room, especially Mrs. Li, who would definitely have to say a few words.

But I never thought that when she lay down on the kang, Mrs. Li didn't ask a word.

From the second day, the people of the Mei family were busy one by one.

The wolf meat was marinated for a day or two nights, scooped up, cooked, and loosened

The cypress branch lit a small fire and slowly dried the water, and in the end it became a strip of jerky.

This kind of jerky not only has a unique taste, but also can remain unchanged for a long time.

Every day, the children went to the mountains to cut pine and cypress branches, and when they came back, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wen were responsible for smoking the meat in the stove house.

Mei Xiaotong began to study the dye recipe in the smoky and meaty smell of the pine and cypress in the yard.

If you want to get the color of indigo, you first have to soak the leaves of indigo in water, and when the weather is hot, one night is fine, and if the weather is cold, it will take two nights.

Mei Xiaotong found a small tank that was not used for the time being, washed it, put in the leaves of the indigo, and then injected water, and when the water was submerged in the leaves of the indigo, she found a few stones and pressed the indigo in a heavy manner, so that they would not float.

Then he cleaned a crockpot jar, ran to the kitchen, rubbed a place of barbecue jerky, and put the crockpot on the rack.

If this is someone else, Mrs. Li will definitely be scolded, what about doing serious things at home, what kind of "mess" is she coming to make trouble?

But his old daughter, there must be a reason, so he made room for Mei Xiaotong and moved a small bench for her to sit down.

I saw Mei Xiaotong keep testing the temperature of the water with her hands, feeling that it was almost over, she threw the chopped madder root into the warm water, and then threw a piece of natural white cloth into it.

"Girl, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Li looked at the old goddess chattering, throwing some grass roots into the crockpot for a while, and throwing a piece of cloth into it for a while, what the hell is this for?

Mei Xiaotong whispered, "I think our family is like this now, and there will be a few months to wait for the mountain goods to be collected, and I am afraid that the family's silver will not be enough to spend by then." Just last time I heard a foreign guest in the cloth village, talking about what kind of Xiaguang cloth is popular in the capital and provincial capital, there are several colors on a piece of cloth, which is the most popular cloth this year, and it can make money. I thought that a few days ago, when I was eating mulberries, I fell on my clothes and dyed all the good clothes, so I thought that I could get some colorful branches, grass and leaves from the mountains, maybe I could do it? Anyway, I'm idle, I'll try to see if I can dye a few colors, if I can dye a color that hasn't appeared yet, our family will have money! When the time comes, I will build a house with blue bricks and tiles for my mother, and I will buy a few girls for my mother to serve my mother, okay? ”

Originally, he was talking about serious things, but later, he coaxed Mrs. Li to be happy.

Although Mrs. Li thinks that her daughter is whimsical, but if she goes to the mountains to pick two leaves, boil the grass roots or something, and you can dye the cloth? She had lived so long, and she had never heard of such a simple way of dyeing cloth.

But if the girl wants to try it, she can try it, anyway, it doesn't cost anything, and there is a lot of firewood, so she can toss it.

Therefore, Mrs. Li didn't take it too seriously, but echoed, "Okay, my mother is waiting to live in the blue brick house built by my daughter in the future!"

The mother and daughter talked and laughed for a while, and Mei Xiaotong remembered in a trance, as if she still needed something important

Mordant.

It's either lime or alum.

I don't know where these two things are sold?

Turning her head and asking Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li paused, "What do you want this for?" ”

just asked casually, and didn't expect Mei Xiaotong to answer, but said, "I don't know what kind of alum you are talking about, but Lime, the one you went to make tofu at the entrance of the village, his family must have it." ”

Mei Xiaotong suddenly realized that now the tofu here is made with lime water.

Hurriedly got up, "Mother, show me the fire, after the water is about to boil, keep the fire low, don't boil out." ”

This little thing, Mrs. Li nodded.

Just looked at his daughter, hurriedly ran outside, I don't know what I thought of again, now I want to play a play.

Shaking his head, he just saw Wen's who went out to get the marinated meat and came back to cook the meat into the stove house, and when he saw Mrs. Li shaking his head, Wen's footsteps stopped all of a sudden, standing at the door, and he didn't know whether it was better to enter or retreat.

Mrs. Li looked at Wen's like that, and somehow remembered her third child, Wang Yonggui.

That terrible son, I have a headache when I think about it, I haven't heard from him for almost a year, and I don't know if he died outside.

Speaking of which, Wen still has no ability and can't look down on men.

The desire to speak was angry when she saw Wen, and Mrs. Li snorted, "What are you doing standing at the door?" Waiting for my wife to come and help you? Crying and mourning every day, did our Mei family not give you food, or didn't give you clothes? Every day I look depressed, and I look bad luck! I can tell you, now that Xiaotong is in charge, if you put on this bad look, is this to touch Xiaotong's bad head, or are you not convinced by Xiaotong? Don't you watch the boss be wasted, the fourth child is not in charge, thinking that you are in charge of the third room, right? ”

Where did Wen have such thoughts? Others say that she was scolded by her mother-in-law at every turn in Mei's house, and she had no face at all, although she didn't go to the ground, but she fed pigs and chickens at home, cleaned, cooked, and washed clothes, and she was so tired that she couldn't straighten up at the end of the day.

But now that the two younger brothers have grown up, they will be married in two years, and she, the eldest sister-in-law, can be half of the Jiang family.

Why are you stupid in the Mei family, the dowry has been deceived by men and stolen and spent, and the mother-in-law still points her nose and scolds every day, what else is there to do these days.

But she never thought like this, she was in the Jiang family, except for when her mother was alive, she lived a good life for a few days, that is, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing.

The three younger brothers in the family said in the words of their grandmother, they were the descendants of the Jiang family, and boys were naturally more expensive than girls.

The mother wants to earn money to support the family, and there are a bunch of things in the family, and the three younger brothers are taken by the grandmother, and they mention their lives every day, saying that it is not easy for their father to be admitted to the show, and it is good for the whole Jiang family to be coaxed to coax the three younger brothers, and everything is important to the father and the Jiang family.

Mother and self

self, these two people who are not considered the Jiang family are naturally not put in their eyes.

When the stepmother entered the door, her life was difficult, the three younger brothers were protected by their grandmothers, and they had not suffered much, she was the only one who suffered, and she did not see the three younger brothers feel sorry for her once.

She married into the Mei family, was scolded by her mother-in-law, the dowry was spent by the man, her mother's house was not far from the town, and she had a little expectation for her family at first, and she once asked people to secretly bring letters back to her parents' house.

If the three younger brothers are worried about their sister in their hearts, not to mention coming to the Mei family to make a fuss, they will come to the door once and support themselves, which is to "show" their faces, which also proves that there are people in the Jiang family, don't go too far, she will be content, let people know that she is also a person with a mother's family.

It's a pity that a month after sending the letter back, not only did the Jiang family not come, but later it was their own man who was messing around outside, and he met his three younger brothers, and the three younger brothers were in front of the people on the street, saying that the married girl spilled the water, born to be a member of the Mei family, and died to be a ghost of the Mei family, even if she was killed by the Mei family, it was to blame her for her bad life.

Since then, Wen has been dead to his mother's family, and after returning to his home for three dynasties, he has never returned to his parents' house once.

No matter how bad the Mei family is, she didn't drive her out, and she also helped her feed her three children, just for this, she never resented her mother-in-law.

Not to mention the sister-in-law, although she used to be domineering, she didn't have any bad intentions, but she had to pinch the tip of everything and be strong.

But the sister-in-law later became sensible, and gave Sanfang a lot of help openly and secretly.

She is not a person who has no conscience, she just wants to use her life to repay her sister-in-law's kindness, how can she touch her sister-in-law's moldy head and be unconvinced by her sister-in-law?

There is also what the mother-in-law said, looking at the big house is no longer good, the second room is broken with the family, and I want to be in charge of the third room.

I don't have the idea of killing her! What kind of virtue is her own man, doesn't she know in her heart? If he lets Sanfang be in charge, I'm afraid that the whole family will be sold by him.

Hurriedly defended "Mother! I didn't! My little sister can be in charge, it's too late for me to be happy! I only hope that the whole family will be good with my little sister, if I have two hearts, I will let me die of thunder and thunder! ”

Of course, Mrs. Li knows that Wen's doesn't have the courage, but she can't stand the fact that her daughter is making the Mei family's life better, in case this Wen is pinched by two sentences, and she wants to fight with her daughter, or she wants to make her daughter a little bad, so she knocks Wen first, so that she has no mind to do the best, if there is, it is best to get rid of this thought.

Hearing that Wen was so frightened that he swore an oath, he snorted and believed it.

Where did Mei Xiaotong know that she was gone, there was still such a scene between Mrs. Li and the Wen family at home.

went directly to the Song family, who sold tofu at the entrance of the village.

The Song family sells tofu is also his family's luck, married a girl from a few villages, this girl's family ancestral tofu craftsmanship, every day in her mother's house to help, see in the eyes and remember in the heart.

After getting married, he said that he moved the man and the in-law's family, let her "grope" and explore, and she learned to do it

Bean curd.

Her family's tofu is tender and old, the tender entrance is polarized, and the old stew is the most delicious, so the business has always been good.

When they arrived at the Song family, who sold tofu, their tofu was generally sold out every day, but the weather was hot in summer, and the tofu was not released, and it was almost noon at the moment, and the remaining tofu was broken in the cold well water.

Mei Xiaotong naturally didn't ask people about lime when she opened her mouth, and bought the remaining pieces of tofu first.

The daughter-in-law of the Song family originally looked at the hot weather, and there were still a few pieces of tofu left that no one bought, which affected the taste after being broken with well water for a long time, and she was wondering whether to eat it at home.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong coming to buy, she naturally smiled.

Because it was fished out of the water, the daughter-in-law of the Song family happily subtracted a little scale, and finally wiped the odds.

After taking the tofu, Mei Xiaotong inquired about the lime.

The daughter-in-law of the Song family immediately became vigilant, this lime water and tofu are the secret of her mother's family, and she got married, and she also "groped" for a long time before finding the trick.

I don't know how many people tricked her, and some people secretly went back to try it with lime, but they all failed, after so many years, this tofu earned hard money, and those who had a heart died up.

This Mei family, not all over the village shouting these days, they are all on the big boss, and they are about to collect mountain goods, how do you like her tofu?

Mei Xiaotong saw the suspicious eyes of the Song family's daughter-in-law, and hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, isn't my family going to collect mountain goods, I'm afraid that the house will be 'damp' and unclean, so buy some lime and go back to the 'tide', because I don't know which one in the town to buy, so I want to ask you to buy a little, and I also ask my sister-in-law to tell me, who sells this." ”

Stretch out her hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that Mei Xiaotong didn't say a word, she wrapped the rest of her tofu round, and she didn't bargain, which was really refreshing.

Besides, what she said is not much, lime goes to "tide", everyone knows that there is no "problem" to prepare for mountain goods.

The daughter-in-law of the Song family thought that she couldn't sell mountain goods in the future and asked for this Mei family, so she immediately squeezed out a smile on her face, "Where does the Mei family's sister say, a little lime, what's it!" Sister-in-law will bring it to you! There is only one shop in this lime town that can be sold, next to the largest restaurant, there is a shop, his family's goods are many and complete, the girl wants to buy it in the future, just go to his house, the price is also fair! ”

As he spoke, he entered the house and wrapped a small bag of lime and handed it to Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong wanted to give money, but the daughter-in-law of the Song family pretended to give in.

How could she take advantage of her, Mei Xiaotong dropped more than a dozen big bucks, thanked her, picked up the tofu and left.

Leaving the daughter-in-law of the Song family, holding a lot of money, she couldn't help but talk to her man when she returned to the house, "This Mei family is really going to be sent?" It's different to catch up with the big boss, and I gave more than a dozen big bucks to buy the idea of lime, and I have a lot of money! ”

The men of the Song family heard about the girl of the Mei family in the past few days, and they partnered with An Huahao from his family to kill him on the mountain

The glorious deeds of more than a dozen wolves, and some people have gone to Mei's house to see them.

There are more than a dozen wolf skins hanging in the shade of the yard, not to mention the dried wolf meat in the yard, and the smell of meat wafting outside the yard.

It's all jealous, this Mei family's ancestral grave is buried in a good location, and the family is prosperous!

So he muttered, "What's that, that girl and that wild seed fought more than a dozen wolves on the mountain, and that wild seed was really not from our Song family, so I gave the wolf meat and wolf skin to the girl of the Mei family." Just that wolf skin is a dozen taels of silver, such a good thing doesn't want to be in the family, such a white-eyed wolf, not our Song family, he and his shameless mother can live to this day? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Song family pouted, she was an outsider who married into the Song family, and when she heard about it, she felt that An Huahao's future life was pitiful, but she was afraid that people would have a choice, and she would not want to live in the Song family.

It took eight lifetimes of blood mold to be born in the belly of Song's mother, and to this day, I haven't seen any help from the Song family, but I have taken advantage of other orphans and widows.

Now that I see that other people have some good things, I want to go up and share a piece, do you want to be ashamed?

Thinking about it this way, the daughter-in-law of the Song family locked the big money in her box and went out.

When I got home, I saw Mei Xiaotong coming back with tofu, and Mrs. Li fried the pot, "Xiaotong, why did you come back with tofu?" It can't be that the daughter-in-law of the Song family bullied you with a thin face and stuffed the unsellable sour tofu to you, right? Look at the old lady who doesn't smoke her tofu stall! ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out.

was hurriedly stopped by Mei Xiaotong, "Mother, it's nothing, I just want to eat tofu, I brought back two pieces, let's eat this at noon!" ”

Mrs. Li took the tofu at this time, "Why don't you say it earlier if you want to eat it, otherwise I will buy it back for you as soon as possible." Okay, my mother will stew tofu for you at noon! ”

looked at the sky, scolded Wen again, didn't cook quickly, and hurriedly cleaned up the dishes.

Mei Xiaotong looked at the crockpot, the piece of cloth that was put in it was floating in the crimson "color" water, and it looked like it had been dyed "color".
