Chapter 59: Shooting Animals
Under Ye Yuran's "prompt", Zhu Bamei intermittently memorized the first part of the first volume of "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment".
Before going to bed, she asked Zhu Bamei to recite it a few more times, until she saw that she was familiar with it later.
Zhu Bamei, who was let go, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly turned over and closed her eyes.
She muttered silently in her heart: It's terrible, my mother actually started to let me carry things! Fortunately, I memorized it, otherwise like Dabao and Erbao, I can't eat enough if I can't memorize it, and it will be miserable.
It's a pity that Zhu Bamei didn't know that she was soon included in the "recitation army" of Zhu Qi, Dabao, and Erbao.
There's no way, who made her not the main labor force of the Zhu family, even if it is a busy farming season, it belongs to the type of mixed life.
Before the autumn harvest, there was a fair.
This is a very important time for many farmers to make purchases in preparation for the autumn harvest in a few days.
Ye Yuran naturally needed it, she counted the basket of eggs she had saved, and then looked at the pounded sweet potato flour and the remaining rice bran and sweet potatoes, and thought in her heart how to arrange the food for the next few days of the autumn harvest.
She called Lee over and asked her how much jam she had in her hand.
"Mother, why are you asking this?" Since I have a business in my hand, don't look at Li's big belly, and he walks with the wind.
People say that when you have money in your hand, you have enough confidence.
Li is also not exempt from vulgarity, since her mother-in-law opened her mouth and let her have "private money", she has saved a basket of food for a few days, except for leaving 20% to the public middle school, the rest is shared with her and a few other people.
Counting the back, although there is not much, she is also very happy to be able to get half a basket or something.
Because of that, she asked someone to send it back to her parents' house, and she was able to let her mother's family save food and eat for a few days.
"In a few days, I wondered, should I bring some to the market to buy?"
As soon as Ye Yuran finished speaking, Li's eyes lit up, and he sat down and said, "Mother, you really want to go with me." This morning, I also discussed with my sister-in-law that when she was making pigweed, she would come back with a little red fruit picking, so that we could help with a little more jam and sell it while we were in the market. Even if it's not much, it's okay to be able to buy some meat and bones for the family. ”
This is to say that the Li family will be a man, depending on what people don't say about their own mother's family or what they buy, they say "home", so that those who listen will feel comfortable.
"Also," Li continued, "my little sister has made a lot of bracelets these days, and I plan to save them and buy them at the market when the time comes." ”
Safflower dyeing is not so easy to dye, after being soaked in water that day, the yellow juice (i.e. yellow pigment) is wrenched out with a cloth bag, and most of the rest is red pigment.
But this was not enough, Ye Yuran asked Zhu Bamei to rinse it with the already sour rice washing water to further remove the residual yellow juice inside, and finally got the residual flower cake containing red pigment.
This method, known as the "flower killing method" in ancient times, is one of the oldest methods.
When it is used, it is also simple, that is, it is clarified a few times with straw ash, and it can be used for dyeing.
However, it can't directly dye the bracelet that has been made, for fear of soaking and spoiling, it is dyed with sun-dried palm leaves, hemp rope and the like as raw materials, and then dried and braided.
In fact, after dyeing, it is treated with black plum acidic water, which has the effect of fixing the color. It's too much because the conditions at home are too simple, this step is saved, but when you sell it, tell the other party that this thing can't be watery and sweaty, otherwise it is easy to "light color".
Not to mention, although it's not particularly red, it's already very beautiful, and the effect of making it up is quite amazing.
At least in the eyes of Zhu Bamei and Li, don't be too pretty.
When Ye Yuran heard her say this, she naturally remembered it, but she also thought of something. She said, "Wait a minute. ”
Then from the windowsill, he took a sealed ceramic jar.
Li Shi looked at the jar and remembered: "Ah, yes, you used that crab to make a sauce last time, and I almost forgot it after so many days." Mother, is this pickled?"
"Just take a look. Ye Yuran is still quite confident in his own skills.
She hadn't made these things by herself in her previous life, and she felt that as long as there were no accidents, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Sure enough, when she opened the lid, a strong fragrance wafted out of it.
Li swallowed his saliva: "Mother, it's so fragrant!"
"This is cold, you are pregnant, you can't eat it. Ye Yuran understood the meaning of her words as soon as she heard it, she wanted to taste it.
Sure enough, as soon as her voice fell, Li said: "Mother, I'll taste it, taste a little bit." ”
She pointed to her little finger and added, "Just a little bit." The last time I made crabs, I also tasted it, and it was fine at all. ”
Ye Yuran couldn't help her, so she asked her to get chopsticks.
Li was very active and hurriedly went to get it.
Ye Yuran took a little taste of it himself and tasted it: Well, how do you say it?
The taste is in, it's this crab, because the materials are insufficient, the fishy smell is very strong, and there is no way to compare it with what she remembers.
"Mother, what's going on, is it delicious?" asked Li impatiently.
Ye Yuran looked at her big belly, she was really not at ease, if she didn't know that the Li family had always been in good health, she would definitely not "condone" the Li family like this.
"Let's talk about it first, we can only taste a little bit, if you eat secretly behind my back, the child in the stomach will have a problem eating, don't say I didn't remind you. ”
Li's child in the womb struggled with the food in front of him for a while, and chosen: "Just taste a little bit, taste it." ”
"When you are born in the future, it's not that you won't do it. ”
"I know, my mother is the best for me, but if I don't taste it, how can I describe it to them when the time comes, how delicious is this thing?" Li Shi looked at it with a blank eye, "Mother, only if you have tasted it, can you have the right to speak." ”
"Alright, just a little. Ye Yuran really dipped a little with chopsticks and sent it to Li's mouth.
Li smashed his mouth and smacked his mouth, so beautiful: "It's delicious, it's just too little, if only I could eat more." ”
Although she is a little greedy, she still attaches great importance to the child in her belly, she knows that there will be no problem with eating only a little bit, so she can eat boldly and boldly, otherwise she will not taste it at all.
Ye Yuran couldn't stop laughing.
"Mother, it's so delicious, I can't bear to sell it, otherwise, let's keep it for ourselves, right? ”
"Sell them all, you can buy something else with money, and you can't fill your stomach just by eating this. ”
Ye Yuran's words made Li no longer squeak. Anyway, she can't eat it, she also fought for everyone, but her mother didn't agree, and when everyone knew, she couldn't be blamed.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed, and soon decided on what they were going to "sell" at the market, and at the same time discussed what the family needed to purchase.
Li didn't expect her mother-in-law to discuss this with her, and she was very happy. When she went back to bed at night, she still looked smiling, so much so that Zhu Si thought she had picked up a treasure.
"It's just a treasure!" Li said with a smile.
"What treasure did you find?"
"I'm not telling you. Li lay down and didn't tell him.
