Chapter 150: A catastrophe is coming
In the afternoon, Jiang Xi transferred a few people from his home, and those who went to pick grapes with the old man at noon, all went to the field to pick fresh corn.
On the other side of the pond, Huzi also called two or three people over. But he didn't dare to leave, and with the lesson of the morning branch, he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
There were a dozen or so people in total, plus Jiangxi's girls and Jiangxi's two cousins, and in a while, they picked a large basket of tender corn. Qin Hao didn't come over to pick vegetables this afternoon, Jiang Xi gave him a tael of silver and asked him to go to the town to buy some books and come back to read.
There are too few books left in their house now, just one or two, and the rest are all pharmacology books. Although they are all books, it is nothing to read, but Qin Hao is a person who will conduct scientific research in the future, so naturally the books he reads cannot be these.
Just like today's test-taking education, you have to learn according to the test center.
Jiang Xi asked the Li family where Jiang Xiucai's books had gone before, and Li only said that books were Jiang Xiucai's lifeblood, except for the three-character scripture at home that was about to break, the rest were taken away by Jiang Xiucai.
Originally, Jiang Xi didn't plan to let the two cousins pick corn, and they were already very tired from transporting the peaches in the morning, and it was time to rest after eating, so it was not good to let them do things.
However, her second uncle directly rejected her remarks with one sentence.
"Just let them go, these two little rabbit cubs should hone and hone their tempering, you are a female doll, a few years younger than them, they are all busy with it, and they have done such amazing things, they should learn from you!"
After picking a total of three boxes of corn, Jiangxi asked them to stop, and then loaded them in an ox cart and let them hurry over.
This time, the person who pressed the goods was Jiang Qian, and it was also the first time that Jiang Changshun's family did such a big thing. In fact, this is also a kind of temptation in Jiangxi, if their family doesn't do it well this time, or if they take any oil and water from it, then it will be useless in the future.
Jiang Qian, this girl, is smart and clever, and she knows more things than lotus seeds, and Jiang Xi plans to put many important things in her hands.
Lianzi is younger than Jiang Qian now, although she doesn't know much, but her learning ability is faster, and there is one thing that Jiang Qian can't compare.
Three boxes of corn, a total of about 200 packs, Jiangxi instructed, these boiled corn to the county town, to sell for 20 yuan a pack, also after cooking, let people cut into small sections and serve to the guests.
As for the method of letting the guests know about this corn, of course, it is also to be sent, as for how to send it and how much to send, it is the scope that Jiang Qian has to master, and it is also Jiang Xi's temptation of her.
After breaking the tender corn, Jiangxi took people to the yard to wash the grapes in the afternoon, and this third batch of grapes was for their family to sell.
Before, Shen Yuanwai ordered this batch, because last time Jiangxi brewed more than 1,000 catties, they were bought by their family, so they kept this batch for themselves.
As for whether the fourth batch will be brewed at that time, it also depends on the quality of the late grapes at that time and the sales of this batch of wines.
When Jiangxi brought people back, the Li family, father and son, were about to leave, waiting for her two cousins here, and they had to continue to go to the mountains to transport goods, striving to transport them back before sunset in the evening.
Before leaving, his eldest cousin, who was the son of the second uncle, suddenly ran up to her and whispered, "Xi'er, can you let me bring some back the thing you gave us to drink at noon?" ”
"Is it sour plum soup, yes, there are a lot of them, cousin, how much do you want, I'll let someone fill it for you."
"Don't worry, I still have ......" Speaking of this, her eldest cousin Li Yujie showed a little embarrassment on his face.
When Jiang Xi saw her spitting, he knew that he must be planning to ask for something, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Cousin, you want to bring some canned food back?"
"Huh? You...... How do you know. Li Yujie was a little dazed, and said in his heart, isn't this cousin who can read minds?
"I saw that you were a little embarrassed, and I guessed that you must have wanted to bring something back to your aunt. You have already opened your mouth, and you know that we have a lot of them in our family, and this thing is not very valuable, so naturally you will not be embarrassed anymore.
In addition to the sour plum soup, there were a few new things left, one was wine, then the tender corn and canned peaches and the steamed cake. As for the steamed cake, my mother has just asked Brother Yuan Xiu to write down the recipe and hand it over to you, so naturally it can't be this.
As for wine, I think that except for the second uncle, who is particularly fond of it, for those of us who are not good at drinking, this thing is not very fascinating, and I have long heard that the second uncle does not like wine.
And if it's tender corn, then you don't have to come and ask me again, I'll let you pick some of it yourself when you're in the field, don't you want it too?
Well, all that's left is canned peaches. This thing is fresh, sweet and sour, and the taste in the mouth is very good, and my aunt who likes the taste of sour plum soup will definitely like this thing too.
Besides, you think that canned food is not easy to make, and it is so expensive, and you want to give it to your aunt to eat, and you are really embarrassed to speak, if you go out to buy it from others, you are afraid that it will give our Jiang family a bad reputation, so you will swallow it. Cousin, are you saying that? ”
Jiang Xi analyzed them one by one, and Li Yujie was dumbfounded when he heard it.
Table ...... Cousin, you're so smart! ”
Li Yujie looked at Jiang Xi blankly, and made up an idea in his heart at this moment - he must also learn to read and become as smart as his cousin.
Taking advantage of Jiang Xi and Li Yujie's conversation, Lianzi had already prepared things. As soon as the two finished speaking, Lianzi handed over the canned food and the packed sour plum soup to Li Yujie.
"Big cousin, when you go back, greet the two aunts for me, now my family is too busy, I can't go away, and I can't go to see them in person. If they have free time, they are welcome to come and play at our house. In a few days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, if it is possible, it is good for our two families to get together. ”
"Okay, I'll help you bring this, my mother and they are busy with peaches, and they can indeed take a rest. I'll come over tomorrow morning and I'll message you back. ”
"Okay, then cousin, you go slowly."
"Hmm."
After sending off Li's mother's family, Jiangxi and the old man took people to start making wine again.
Li was very happy today, not only met his second brother and father, but also chatted with them for so long and learned about the situation of everyone in the family.
Nowadays, the mother's family is doing things at home, and the two families support each other, not only have a better life, but also have more opportunities to meet in the future.
Washing grapes is still done by Li and others, and her speed is faster than others, which shows that she is in a really good mood.
After Jiang Xi ordered the chores of making wine, he went back to his room alone, while Lianzi stayed in the courtyard and washed the grapes with Li and her own mother-in-law.
In the room, there are two little people. Jiang Xi walked to the door and heard them talking softly.
"Of course, in this family, I eat enough every day, as well as my father and mother, my sister and my brother, and I can eat meat every day. If you stay here, we will be able to talk every day, and we will be able to serve Madame and Maiden together." ”
Jiang Xi smiled lightly, this Chun'er really deserves to be a member of their family, look, this is pulling people to their house.
"Ahem!" Coughing lightly and walking in, as soon as Chun'er saw her coming, she immediately covered her mouth, stood up, and saluted respectfully, "Girl." ”
Jiang Xi touched her head, "Don't be so restrained, just sit next to her." ”
His eyes fell on Zhi'er, and although she was still a little embarrassed, her face looked much better than when she was rescued in the morning.
"Is it better? Have you had lunch? ”
Zhi'er looked at her timidly, nodded, and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing this, Chun'er next to her hurriedly said to Jiangxi: "Girl, Zhi'er, she is much better now, she said that she doesn't feel cold anymore, her nose is not blocked, after eating at noon, she is in better spirits, and we talked for a while." Zhi'er also said that the tender corn at noon was really delicious. ”
Chun'er was grinning, if it wasn't for the period of changing her teeth, her smile would only be more beautiful.
Seeing Jiang Xi staring at her, Chun'er immediately reacted and covered her mouth.
"Don't look at it, girl!"
"Hahaha!" Jiang Xi laughed heartily, this girl is really interesting.
"Okay, Chun'er, you stay with Zhi'er here, and when she gets better in the evening, I'll let the two of you live together."
"Good!"
Coming out of the house, Jiang Xi looked at his own rooms, the area was still too small.
She and Li's room is relatively large, divided into a back room and an outhouse, the back room is where they live, and the girl usually sleeps there at night in the outhouse.
The room in the middle is also inhabited by the people who serve in the house.
Outside, there are a total of three rooms, one is where the old man lives, and the other is where Yuan Xiu is living with people, and the remaining one is given to Qin Hao by Jiangxi. As for the dining room, it was converted from the former kitchen.
The rest went to rest in the courtyard next door.
Now, there are more and more people in the family, and there will definitely be more people in the future, and this house must be expanded a little more.
In just a few months, their family has built two new yards, and at this time, further expansion will inevitably cause gossip, Jiang Xi frowned, and an idea gradually arose in her mind.
However, the most important thing now is not these, but to go to Zhi'er's house and ask her parents to sign the contract, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
However, Jiang Xi never thought that her actions this time would bring a catastrophe to their family.
