The fifth episode of Jiang's young grandmother
Ruchu is a man of action, since he has made up his mind to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, he took Yae out of the 'door' that afternoon. Fortunately, Mrs. Qi knew that she was used to running outside before she got married, and she didn't stop her from changing into men's clothes.
Luqiao Town is located in the southeast of Jining Prefecture for dozens of miles, although it has not yet reached the sea, but it is also close to the sea, and there are several small fishing villages in between. And only a dozen miles to the west, there is also a hill, and there is a village at the foot of the mountain, which is a very peaceful place.
After studying the terrain, Ruchu was very happy, thinking that God was appreciating food, but when she talked to the most experienced old fishermen in the fishing village and the most prestigious old people in the mountain village, she realized that she was thinking too beautifully, but in fact it didn't work at all. For this, she despised herself afterwards. She grew up in a big city before crossing over, and was raised in a wealthy family after crossing, and she didn't know what the real survival was and the people's suffering.
You must know that sea fishing is not so easy, novice fishing is not easy to say, even if you can catch small fish and shrimp, go home to cook a large pot of fish soup with a slight seafood flavor is reluctant, want to use this as the main ingredient to make fresh dishes is not a dream. Taking a step back, if Yae is a genius at sea fishing and quickly masters the technique, but if you want to catch big fish, you have to set up a boat to go to sea, then the cost will be great.
The policy of the Ming Dynasty forbids the sea, fishermen can not fish in the ocean, only fish in the offshore waters, barely make a living, many fishermen do not even have their own boats, the government does not allow 'private' to build, go to sea to find a boat to rent, and then have to 'pay' fish tax, in the end there is little fish left, life is called a bitter.
So, knowing that this road was impassable, he had to turn to the mountain, and then he learned in despair that the mountain here was not "rich". Because it is a small hill, there are no large wild beasts, at most hares, wild 'chickens', and very lucky to see petite wild boars. Before, she mistook Shandong for the Northeast, and her cognition was biased, but now she knows which so many wild foods are easy to fight.
However, the prospect of scavenging from the mountains is slightly better, at least you can pick some wild mushrooms and fungus, and although there is little game, you can still hunt some of it, and the fish in the creeks and rivers are easier to catch.
Under this blow, Ruchu's conscience became elastic, and he cheated a little, paid the two strongest experts in the village to hunt and catch fish, and ran around the mountains with others while apprentices, and finally brought back the fruits of their labor as his own. Anyway, no matter how 'shrewd' Mrs. Qi is, it is impossible for her to 'show up' her face and go to a small mountain village more than ten miles away to investigate her.
Although the prey is not available every day, fortunately, a rabbit and two mountain 'chickens' are fully utilized under the skillful hands of the original, and they can also eat for two or three days, with more than a dozen different dishes and soups, and Yae is rich in aquatic products. In just such a month, the Qi family's financial income and expenditure are good, and they have not exceeded the budget, but the food is rarely the same, there are 'meat' and vegetables, nutritional matching, and the taste is beautiful.
Looking at Ruchu and Yae again, they were originally a pair of beautiful women, but now they have become dark and thin because of the wind and sun, and the daily commuting to and from mountain villages and towns. It's okay as before, after all, he has kung fu, but poor Yae is like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he can't even stand Jimei, who loves to eat so much, so he decided not to eat 'meat' anymore, and let his sister-in-law and servant rest.
There was nothing to do that afternoon, and the family sat in the shade of the second 'gate' to drink tea and talk, and the old lady suddenly joked, "Such a way of living, the money is saved, but how many pairs of shoes do you have to spend." The day before yesterday, I was in a hurry to give my sister-in-law soles and embroider uppers. ”
She was so witty that everyone laughed.
Mrs. Qi also smiled and nodded, and said gently, "As before, I know that you are for this family, but it is not advisable to work so hard. In my opinion, we are still coarse tea and light rice, you are skillful, and it will be good to improve it every ten days and half a month. You see that your face is also dark, and your hands are thick, and the old lady still told me that day, and she is distressed. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed them.
When I first saw this scene, I felt very relieved and felt that this month's hard work was worth it. It is said that eating people is short-mouthed, and today she understands that this sentence not only shows the interests of things, but also contains the existence of feelings. After all, eating in a pot every day, she is so sincere that everyone has a good life, and others are somewhat moved, and their prejudice against her gradually decreases.
In this way, even if she even did the thing of 'shooting' other people's chickens and ducks with arrows, she will not regret it now. That time, she didn't hunt any prey for five days, and she went to someone's yard to "hunt" in a hurry. Of course, money was given in advance.
But at best, her archery skills have been 'refined' these days, and she can show off with Xiaoguang in the future. Moreover, she can miss Xiaoguang less so much every day, although whenever she dreams back at midnight and reads Xiaoguang's family letter every day, she still cries lovesickly.
Those letters said that he was guarding Haiphong, but his heart was guarding her, and he would never change.
"Yes, my sister-in-law is tired every day. Otherwise, my second brother and I will also help. "Ruyi was originally a very quiet 'sex' and didn't talk much at home, but since Ruyi told her about outside things for three days, she instilled some independent concepts. The child has a strong ability to accept it, and recently he has been a lot more cheerful in his sex, and he is much closer to this sister-in-law.
Qi Jimei agreed when he heard it, saying that he could hunt and fish, Ruyi could learn some good cooking, and if he married someone in the future, he was afraid that his in-laws would like it.
Yixi said a little Ruyi and ran away shyly, but Mrs. Qi said, "Don't mess around, it's good to let Ruyi and Ruyi learn to cook, but you still have to study hard, don't indulge in the 'desire' of the mouth, so how can you achieve a great career in the future?" ”
Qi Jimei heard her mother say this, although she felt regretful, she got up and said that she accepted the teachings. On the other hand, as at first glance, the timing was just right, and he hurriedly said what he thought these days, that is, to change the source of income and reduce expenditure to get rid of poverty and become rich.
"You can't do anything wrong or take advantage of the prestige of the official." Mrs. Qi said first, "You can't use your mother's money to invest." In that way, it can be regarded as the Hu family helping the Qi family, how can Xiaoguang hold his head up in front of his old Taishan in the future? ”
"Don't worry, mother, the way I want to do it requires our Qi family to invest, and I don't need a penny from my mother's family. Besides, you'll have to do me some favors, or I'll be left alone. "As before, the 'chest' is authentic.
When she said this, everyone was curious. But before he could say his thoughts, he heard a knock on the door outside.
Although Yongbo was old, he ran out with his 'legs' and feet, and after a while, he came to report with a little embarrassment, "Jiang's young 'milk' and 'milk' are here." ”
Who is Jiang's little 'milk' and 'milk'?
Ruchu was a little stunned, looked at Qi Jimei, and derived three words from the latter's mouth: white-condensation-if!
