The cool cold water on the face drove away the heat and fatigue after the early morning labor, and it was very comfortable.

Beckoning, Zhang Lei'er also washed her face, rested slightly at the table in the lower hall, and had to be busy making breakfast again.

Li Xiaoshuang, who didn't want to move anymore when she sat down, regretted that she didn't explain the preparation of breakfast in the morning to Zhang Lin'er yesterday, but when she thought of carrying water, it was not a light job, if she added making breakfast, it was estimated that Zhang Lin'er would not be busy for a while.

At this time, I could only hold on to my body that wanted to be lazy, drank some water briefly, and after resting for a while, I got up and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

Because now is not the time to be busy with farming, so for breakfast, Li Xiaoshuang is ready to boil some rice porridge with pickles.

There is a big cabinet in the kitchen, and the commonly used rice, noodles, ginger, vinegar and tea are placed in this cabinet, and there is a chopstick-thick pin on the double sliding door of the cabinet, which is used to lock the double sliding door and prevent rats from getting in at night to steal food.

Don't sign is a finger long small signature, as thick as chopsticks, tied with hemp rope on the head, as soon as the double sliding door is closed, put the donkey into the closed loop in the middle of the sliding door, so that you can't open the door without pulling out the don't sign.

Li Xiaoshuang opened the double sliding door of the cabinet, scooped some rice from the rice cloth bag and put it into a crockpot, which is used to cook porridge on weekdays.

It's just that Li Xiaoshuang thinks that the pot stove is more convenient, so she used the big pot stove to cook porridge yesterday.

Only scoop half a bowl of millet rice and wash it slightly, put a large scoop of water, and put it on a small stove to make a fire.

Stuff it with thick firewood, and you don't even need to look at the fire.

After cooking the porridge, Li Xiaoshuang was busy taking out a small ball of pickles from the pickle jar, washing them slightly, cutting them finely, and preparing to fry them later.

When cutting pickles, Li Xiaoshuang looked at the pickles and remembered the white meat stewed pickles, and the sweetness made Li Xiaoshuang suck her saliva and suddenly became greedy.

In Li Xiaoshuang's memory, it seems that she hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and the last time she ate meat was when she killed pigs for the New Year!

There wasn't much pork left, most of it was used for money, only some leftovers were left with some pig blood offal, even so, Li Xiaoshuang and the three of them were satisfied.

As soon as the vegetables were cut, Zhang Lin'er came back with a load of water, this time picking up more water than before, and each wooden barrel had more than half a bucket of water.

Zhang Lin'er only walked back and forth for two years, poured the water she had just picked up into the water tank, and was so tired that she was out of breath, and she sat on the table in the lower hall for a long time and was unwilling to move.

Li Xiaoshuang didn't say anything when she saw it, anyway, she wasn't in a hurry to fill up the water for a while, and it was okay to pick it up after breakfast, as long as it was guaranteed to have water all the time.

Li Xiaoshuang cut the pickles, then took another crockpot and began to boil water, thinking that it would be safer to drink boiled water in the future.

After all, the water was brought back directly from the stream, and I don't know if there is anything unclean in the water that cannot be seen. If she gets sick and has a stomach problem, the two taels of silver in her hand can't do anything.

The most feared thing about having no money is getting sick, and the poor can't afford to get sick!

What's more, this era is not as advanced as medicine in the previous life, and there is no way to find out the cause of many diseases.

After breakfast, Zhang Leier went up the mountain to collect firewood, and Li Xiaoshuang thought about going out for a walk while she had time to see if there was any money-making work suitable for her family.

The area of Zhangjia Village is empty, Li Xiaoshuang walked out of the gate of her house, and what she saw was a patch of fields, most of which were empty and filled with water, and you could see the scene of the harvest that had just been completed.

The Qin family not far away, the door is closed, and Li Xiaoshuang doesn't know what reason to see the benefactor, not to mention that the two families are still so unhappy now, and because of Zhang Lin'er's matter, Li Xiaoshuang uncontrollably complained a little about the benefactor, so she simply put this matter down first.

If you walk along the main road, you will see the only shop in the village that sells daily necessities, and in addition to daily necessities, there are also occasional pork, tofu and other things.

Li Xiaoshuang kicked a dozen dollars in her pocket when she went out, thinking that she could buy a little salt when she went back later.

"Aunt Li, what do you want to buy!"

The second daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, who was sitting in the shop and watching the shop, greeted Li Xiaoshuang warmly.

"Noble daughter-in-law, business is good!" Li Xiaoshuang nodded with a smile, standing in front of the counter and looking around.

There are very few things in the shop, and on the large cabinet against the wall, there are many crockpots and cloth bags neatly placed, and the crockpots are generally filled with salt, soy sauce and other things.

The cloth bag contains many pastries, and there are not many types of pastries, but they are some red and white treasure cakes, peanut candy and other things, if someone wants to buy some, they will wrap them with straw paper, and paste a square piece of big red paper on the seal, which is a good product for relatives.

In addition to these, a few strips of pork on the half-large table near the door have passed a plate of tofu.

However, pork and tofu are some rare items, people in these years do not have much spare money, they are not worried about eating enough, but it is difficult to live well, to say that every day there are people to buy some meat and a piece of tofu to improve their lives, it is very rare.

I'm afraid that only the rich Wang family in the village will have such financial resources!

After all, the weather is hot and dry at this time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sell it and lose money, so I only enter a few pieces of meat and a plate of tofu at the two ends in three days.

The second noble daughter-in-law sighed leisurely and said: "What's good or not, auntie, you also know, there are only about twenty or thirty households in this village, and no one will lack this little and that needs to buy things every day, and what they need to buy is just some necessities such as salt, and business will be better when they go to relatives during the holidays!" ”

Li Xiaoshuang stood in the shop that could be seen at a glance for a while, heard the words of the second noble daughter-in-law, and said: "After all, we have more inputs than our ordinary people, we can count on the pigs raised all year round to exchange some change, I can't wait to break one penny into two pennies to spend, and fill me with ten pennies of salt!" ”

"Who says it isn't! It's not been easy for everyone these days. ”

Li Xiaoshuang's words were very beautiful for the second noble daughter-in-law, and she wrapped Li Xiaoshuang with a smile of ten yuan of salt, and pretended to add a little bit of weight to it, as if Li Xiaoshuang had taken a big advantage.

Li Xiaoshuang shook her head funny, but didn't say anything more, carrying a small bag of salt wrapped in straw paper, Li Xiaoshuang continued to walk around the village, and found that it was not far from the entrance of the village, so she walked back, returned home and put the salt in the kitchen, and walked in the opposite direction to the mountain where the pigweed was cut in the morning.
