How can there be no money? Han's words surprised Zhang, and asked, "He still has a donkey cart, how can he have no money?" Can I buy pancakes if I don't have money? ”

"Well, only the donkey is worth a little bit of money. The second uncle is fifty-seven years old, and if he didn't have that donkey cart, he might not be able to come back. In order to come back smoothly, they are afraid that they will use their family savings to buy a donkey cart. Han said disdainfully.

"I was watching them yesterday when they were going down to get something. The cart was full of old things, coarse porcelain bowls, old pots, patched covers, and none of the clothes were decent. ”

Zhang looked at the baked cakes in his daughter's hand and asked, "Then why is his family willing to sell the baked cakes to eat?" ”

Han said with a smile: "Because his family doesn't have anything to cook, I thought that when I came back hungry for most of the day, I would have to drink the wild vegetable mixed batter, so I was probably ruthless, so I bought the baked cake." If you are really rich, you will buy two catties of cooked meat and a few big meat buns. You say, don't you? ”

Zhang thinks about it, it is true, if you are rich, you will definitely buy fragrant sauce meat and meat buns to satisfy your hunger, how can such a delicacy be comparable to baked cakes?

She saw it just now, and in the three coarse porcelain bowls in her second uncle's house, there was indeed a mixture of wild vegetables and batter, and she could recognize that it was purslane. If you can eat well, who will eat wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger?

……

Qi Younian had planned to have lunch, but he took advantage of a little time in the second half of the morning to repair the door of the courtyard first. Ye Xinyan didn't let it, the three of them had eaten, and they took a luxurious nap, and took a nap for nearly half an hour before getting up to clean up the courtyard gate.

Ye Xinyan is not talking big, she can really help Qi Younian, and the two of them repaired the courtyard gate before dark. Not to mention how good the repair is, at least the courtyard door can be closed tightly and the door bolt can be opened.

The two finished work, and Mama Jin also cooked the meal. Heated up their nest that they hadn't finished lunch, boiled mixed batter, and mixed the vegetables sent by my uncle's grandfather's house in the second half of the morning.

Ye Xinyan ate the food made at home, squinting with a satisfied smile.

Since she came to this era, she has only stayed in the Anguo Mansion for one day, although the food and drink are all prepared on that day, but she is bent on how to escape before sending the family temple, where is there a little sense of belonging? I just feel like it's a cannibalistic cage, and I don't feel at home at all.

After that, it was more than half a year of hiding and wandering, always worried that his identity would be discovered, or that he would encounter gangsters and robbers on the road, which was even more unrealistic.

Yesterday she really had her own home, although it was so simple and dilapidated, but here, she had a reasonable and legal identity and a veritable place to live.

No, I ate home-cooked food today, and I finally felt at ease. In the future, she can calm down and think about how to make money, completely change the days without social security, and make life better.

After dinner, the three of them discussed, it is still possible to repair the doors and windows in the same year, but there is no furniture at home. If you make all the furniture used at home, even if you can make it alone, you are afraid that it will take too long and you will be too tired.

Qi Younian repeatedly emphasized that he could make simple furniture, but Ye Xinyan said that he didn't agree with anything. Qi Younian is nearly sixty years old, and he has consumed a lot of physical strength along the way, and now it is time to rest and recover his strength, but he can't rush to do his work.

Ye Xinyan said: "If you are tired and sick, see a doctor, take medicine, and suffer again, it is not worth a few simple pieces of furniture. ”

In the end, it was decided that chairs, stools, and livestock sheds would be built by Qi You, and the boxes, cabinets, and tables at home should be carpented for.

It was late, and it would be a waste of lamp oil to talk again, so the three of them rested early.

After breakfast the next day, Qi Younian went to the big room to say hello to Qi Yougui and told him that the family had settled down and there was no need to worry. I also asked if there was anyone in the village who knew how to do carpenter's work.

Qi Yougui had already had breakfast, so he simply led Qi Younian to find Carpenter Wang in the village and asked Carpenter Wang if he had time to do work these days.

The rest of the people in the courtyard of the big house went down to work in the fields.

Han pursed his lips and complained to his man Qi Dagen: "Dad is true, Carpenter Wang is from our village, just ask someone to know where to live, where can I lead it?" We still have a lot of work in the field, and even if the second uncle doesn't farm all these years, he should know that the solar terms don't wait for anyone. ”

Qi Dagen glared at her, and reprimanded in a rough voice: "The second uncle has been outside for all these years, and he only came back the day before yesterday, he is not familiar with the things in the village, and he doesn't know much about people, what's wrong with my father leading him to find people?" I want you to talk more. ”

Wang didn't blame Han, but only urged them: "Okay, where are so many words, go down to the ground and do the work." ”

Yesterday, I heard the second daughter-in-law say that Qi Younian bought baked cakes and ate them alone, and Wang felt very uncomfortable.

No one is rich, and the old man always wants to help his second brother. The nests that were sent to them yesterday were saved from their own rations. But people don't care about him at all, the eldest brother, who has the money to buy baked cakes, but only cares about eating them alone.

The more Wang thought about it, the more unhappy he became, although he had already declared to his old man that he would not think about taking things from home to Qi Younian, and the old man did not squeak at that time, but the unhappiness in her heart still did not subside.

Qi Younian went to find a carpenter, and Ye Xinyan washed the broken rice at home, and after washing, he soaked it for half an hour, and used the time of this half hour to clean the small stone mill he bought.

While sewing the quilt, Mama Jin was curious about what Ye Xinyan could make with these broken rice, and what kind of thing was rice tofu?

Yes, Ye Xinyan wants to make rice tofu and sell it.

The rice tofu she wants to make is different from the kind of rice tofu that people usually say has a stable shape and pieces of rice tofu. The rice tofu she ate with her grandmother when she was a child was the kind of food that was very tender and smooth, similar to the semi-coagulated state of tofu brain.

Rice tofu is simpler to make than tofu brain, and it can be used to the fullest, all the rice milk can be made into rice tofu, unlike tofu, which also needs to be filtered out of tofu residue, and only soy milk can be used in the end.

Now they are in their infancy, they have less money in their hands, and if they use broken rice to make rice tofu, the cost will be much lower. If the rice tofu sells well and the broken rice is not enough, you can also use rice to make it, in that case, the taste will be better.

The stone mill was cleaned and the broken rice was soaked. That small stone mill, she can operate it alone without the help of others. The rice milk is grinded, and while the rice milk is precipitated, Ye Xinyan makes a fire, boils it and dips it in water, and decoctions the chili peppers.

It is better to solidify rice milk with lime than alkaline water, and Ye Xinyan has already prepared lime water.

Outside, Qi Younian and Carpenter Wang set a few pieces of furniture they needed, but they didn't prepare wood at home, so they bought wood from Carpenter Wang's house by the way.

When he came back with an agreement, he saw his granddaughter busy by the stove in the outhouse.
