Shen Yingyue took the washed clothes back and hung them on the bamboo pole, and her stomach gurgled.

In ancient times, the peasant family was poor, they ate two meals a day, worked in the fields during the day, and would not go home to eat at noon, which made Shen Yingyue in the 21st century a little unaccustomed, not to mention that she was still so fat. In the morning, in order to lose weight, she ate less, and now it is only about ten o'clock in the morning, and she is hungry.

In normal times, she must have gone to the neighbor's house to steal food at this time, but now she can't do that.

So what to do now, there is no food left in the Liang family's kitchen.

Shen Yingyue decided not to eat it, anyway, she was fat and always had to lose weight, and she had to adapt to the rhythm of two meals a day in the farmhouse, but don't make a fortune yet, so she will raise her body first.

Besides, what she should be thinking about now is not about eating. No matter how little the Liang family's rations are, there are still wild vegetables, and Liang Hanchu will hunt and catch fish, so that she will not starve to death.

The most important thing for her to think about now is the issue of daily necessities.

You need straw paper to go to the thatched house, right? She was on the verge of crumbling yesterday when she saw the shared piece of bamboo that was wiping her butt in the hut. Later, I went to pick some fresh cangium leaves with a texture that was a bit like straw paper and made do with it, which temporarily solved the problem of going to the thatched house.

It's early autumn now, and you can still pick the leaves of Xanthus, what should I do if the Xanthella withers in winter?

Liantang Village is a small village under the jurisdiction of Huairou County, Beiping Prefecture, what is Beiping Prefecture? It will have a well-known name called Beijing in the future, and in winter it will become a world frozen for thousands of miles, not to mention Xanthus leaves, there may not even be a fresh plant leaf, where is she going to plant leaves instead of straw paper.

There is also the issue of menstruation. In this era, there were no sanitary napkins, and the menstrual belt was made of a strip of cloth sewn into a tube, which was filled with something to absorb menstrual blood. Unfortunately, Shen Yingyue is now poor.

After thinking about it, in fact, she is still very resistant to plant ash, she always feels dirty, and the menstrual belt she uses is at least filled with cotton, right?

In addition to straw paper and menstrual bands, there are toothbrushes, mirrors, ear picks...... She had so much to do. The original owner has a rough life, she is diametrically opposed, she is still more particular about these things, and she is still a little clean.

Therefore, she had to quickly solve the problem of daily necessities. In order to buy these daily necessities, you have to use money. The Liang family is so poor that she can't count on it at all, so she can only rely on herself.

Shen Yingyue dried her clothes and went back to the house and opened her dowry box.

The county is an official to the villagers of Liantang Village, but in fact it is not rich. The salary level of officials in the Ming Dynasty was generally not high, and the salary of the county order was only about forty-five yuan a year, and the county was even worse, only less than forty yuan, so Shen Guang did not buy her much dowry.

She looked at it, except for a few cheap cotton and linen fabrics whose value could be ignored, a few cheap clothes, and some jewelry of very poor condition, there were only a few Da Ming treasure banknotes of different denominations, and after counting, they added up to less than ten yuan.

There are so many things she has to buy, such as straw paper, and the cotton used to fill the menstrual belt is all consumables, and she has to buy it for a long time, and the money is too little.

Besides, she can't live on her dowry, so she still has to find a way to make money on her own.
