Chapter 283: Business
"Mother, what's the matter?" Mu Xiu glanced at Zhou Shuilian very strangely.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's hurry up and work hard to make money, it's not good to owe Lu Yuan money." After Zhou Shuilian replied to the horse's mouth, he walked back to his room quickly, leaving Mu Xiu standing in the courtyard very puzzled.
In a blink of an eye, it was the middle of November, and the weather began to get cold, and Mu Xiu woke up every morning with cold feet and cold bed.
"Mother, I want to live in Xiaohua's room and burn the kang, it's too cold." Mu Xiu got dressed, poured out a basin of hot water from the thermos, and soaked his hands in it, the slightly hot water temperature dispelled the chill on his body.
Mu Xiu is a little depressed now, when she built a house, in order to sleep comfortably, she specially built a wooden bed, now that winter is coming, this wooden bed is still not comfortable to sleep on the kang without a fire.
Now the weather is too cold, shiitake mushrooms and fungus are also planted in the greenhouse behind the kitchen, and the greenhouse has been rebuilt......
The greenhouse is next to the wall of the kitchen stove, and there is a chimney on the stove to exhaust smoke, and when it burns, the inside of the greenhouse is hot, and the plastic sheet is wrapped tightly and covered with a black cloth, so that the sunshine is abundant during the day, and the greenhouse is like spring.
And Mu Xiu's newly built house, there are three rooms that are connected, and the soil pits made in the house are also connected together, whatever pit is heated, the three rooms are hot, if you want to be warmer, you can live in whichever room you can burn, and block the passage of the other two rooms.
"Look at you cold." Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu, who was already wearing a small thin jacket, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua is still young, and when you use the room, it is estimated that you will also get married, you can live casually." ”
"Mother, do you say this about your daughter?" Mu Xiu said dissatisfiedly, after coming to this era for a long time, Mu Xiu's mentality has been adjusted to a little girl......
"Mother, Xiu is thin-skinned, don't talk nonsense." Mu Xiaocao quipped beside him.
"I won't tell you, I'll hurry up and finish eating and go to pick up leaves, and burn the kang tonight." Mu Xiu finished washing up and went into the kitchen to eat.
"Let's go together." Mu Xiaocao shouted behind him.
Although after the autumn harvest, those sesame stalks and corn stalks can be used as firewood after drying, but Mu Xiu's house is large, and if you want to live a warm and comfortable life in winter, you still need to go to the woods to pick up dead branches and leaves.
Every year after the autumn harvest is completed, each family will send laborers to collect the leaves, and use a rake to make the yellow leaves into piles, and then pack them one by one, and carry them home.
Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaocao were picking up leaves in the forest together, and when Mu Xiaocao had picked up a back basket, he turned his head to look at Mu Xiu, and Mu Xiu's back basket was also full of leaves, but 。。。。。 Mu Xiaocao just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"Sister, you take these two baskets back first, and I'll continue to pick them up." Mu Xiu gave Mu Xiaocao the full back basket.
"Xiu, let's pick up leaves in another place, why are there so few leaves here." After Mu Xiaocao finished speaking, he picked up the basket and left first.
"It looks like I really have to change a few more places, and I was almost discovered." Mu Xiu stuck out his tongue.
It turned out that Mu Xiu collected the leaves into the space while picking up the leaves, and the piles of leaves just now were all collected by her into the space, leaving only a thin layer of dead leaves, no wonder Mu Xiaocao felt strange at first glance.
Mu Xiu looked nearby, there were scattered villagers picking up leaves in the woods, she walked inside, and when people were not paying attention, she collected leaves from the space, and when Mu Xiaocao returned to find her, Mu Xiaocao's space had an extra leaf like a hill, which was enough for her to burn the kang this winter, after all, she lived in a room alone, and no one knew how much it was burned.
In the next few days, Mu Xiu dried fungus, mushrooms, and Mu Xiaocao took Li Pandi to pick up leaves, Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui fertilized the land and hoeed grass, and went to the market when they encountered the market, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and this year's winter seemed to come exceptionally early.
"Bang bang." Along with the knock on the door, there was also the sound of Mu Shui, "Xiu, open the door." ”
"Here we are." Mu Xiu put down the work in his hand and walked towards the gate, and after opening it, Mu Shui led the ox cart and walked into the courtyard with Chen Xuhui.
"Dad, you're coming back so soon today?" Mu Xiu looked at Mu Shui, who was happy, and asked strangely.
"Don't you know, now as soon as our ox cart arrives at the market, everyone comes around to buy things, skin care products, soap and egg steamed cake popcorn, that is how much you bring over and how much can be sold, no, the spiced soybeans and the hanging oven peanuts you just made are also sold clean today, no, you will come back early."
"That's because Uncle Mu didn't sell baskets and baskets today, so he came back earlier than usual." Chen Xuhui told the truth that on weekdays, other things can be sold out quickly, but those bamboo baskets and the like will have to wait a long time to be sold out.
"You kid, you won't save some face for your uncle!" Mu Shui glared at Chen Xuhui dissatisfied.
"Alright, come in and wash, if you don't eat, I'll go and heat up the lunch meal." Mu Xiu said funny.
"We've all eaten at noon, Xiu, you hurry up and copy some soybeans and peanuts, a big customer came today, saying that tomorrow each will ask for thirty catties, and twenty catties of popcorn, and there are those to be sold in the market, each fried fifty catties." Mu Shui remembered something serious.
"To be so much? What to do? I don't have many peanuts, and I want to keep them for my own food. "Mu Xiu fried 20 catties of peanuts yesterday, and there are still 80 catties of peanuts left, and there are hundreds of catties of soybeans.
"The other party seems to be holding a banquet, and put some snacks like peanuts and melon seeds on the table, alas, I knew that fried peanuts were so easy to sell, so I didn't sell them to the grain station." Mu Shui is a face of annoyance, sold to the grain station is five cents a catty, the market is seven cents a catty, although it is a little expensive, but everyone is also you two taels and I two taels to buy.
"I have no experience this year, and I will stay all of them next year." Mu Xiu also feels the same way.
"Then fry 50 catties of soybeans and 30 catties of peanuts." Mu Shui thought for a moment and said.
"Dad, you're just thinking about selling for money... I can't make this hype. "Mu Xiu's last twenty catties were fried for a day.
"So what to do!" The wood and water are in a hurry.
"You confiscated other people's deposits, by the way, did you collect them?" Mu Xiu suddenly asked.
"Uncle Mu received a deposit of ten yuan." Chen Xuhui answered for Mu Shui.
"You're going to pit your daughter!" Mu Xiu was speechless for a while, didn't say anything more, and hurriedly stirred.
Chen Xuhui and Mu Shui followed behind Mu Xiu and took out two sacks of soybeans and peanuts from the cellar.
