The newly bought iron pot should be boiled. Wash the iron pot, heat the pot over low heat, use chopsticks to press a piece of fat to scrub in the pot, and then wipe the pot dry with a cloth. Then rub the whole pot with ginger, and then wait for the pot to cool and wash it well.

Xiao Yue opened the two iron pots and began to dispose of the purchased lard. Although I also bought vegetable oil, I bought less because it was expensive. Heat the pan and pour in the lard cut into pieces, add water and slowly the lard will boil out.

Scoop the oil residue into a bowl and sprinkle some sugar while it is hot, it is fragrant and crispy. Xiao Yue only ate a few bites and stopped eating, and she gave the rest to Yang Changfa to eat. Yang Changfa ate the oil residue and looked at his daughter-in-law with a happy smile on his face, in the past, the oil residue in the family did not have his share.

Xiao Yue took out the soybeans and mung beans she bought to make bean sprouts, and soaked the soybeans and mung beans separately. She remembered that she had to go to her mother's house and ask her father to make some wooden boxes for herself, and the bottom of the wooden boxes should have small seams to drain the water out.

Xiao Yue thought about the things that her father had made for herself in the past few days, so she took out 500 yuan for her father. As soon as he told his father at Xiao's house, Daddy Xiao understood what kind of wooden box he wanted to make for her, and when he gave him money, he didn't want to live or die, Xiao Yue and Daddy Xiao stiffened in the yard because of money.

When Zheng came back from outside, he saw the appearance of the father and daughter, and "poof-" immediately laughed.

Xiao Yue turned her head and saw Zheng laughing and felt inexplicable, "Mother, what are you laughing at?" ”

"What are you father and daughter doing? It looks like it's going to be a quarrel. ”

Xiao Yue thought about what she looked like just now and laughed, "Mother, my father has been making things for us these days, so I just want to pay my father something, but my father doesn't want it." ”

Zheng patted Xiao Yue, "Why did you get married and still have a relationship with your father, your father still needs money to cook something for you, isn't this a humble person, hurry up and take the money away." ”

Daddy Xiao also interjected, "That's it, listen to your mother." ”

Xiao Yue had no choice but to put the money away, thinking that it would be a big deal if she would encounter any suitable opportunities in the future to help her family.

Daddy Xiao's craftsmanship is good and the wooden box is simple, so it will be done in almost an hour.

Xiao Yue returned home with the wooden box, she thought about it, her family currently only relies on Yang Changfa to hunt and make money, and she doesn't know when she will be able to save enough money to build another house, or do some small business.

She thought about the matter of selling vegetables, and felt that it was better to forget it, it was not a long-term solution after all. Thinking of the bean sprouts, she thought of a snack called Liangpi in Shaanxi in her previous life, and now the weather is slowly getting hotter, and eating Liangpi is the best time, so Xiao Yue thought about going to the town to sell Liangpi. She planned to wait for the bean sprouts to grow and make cold skins for Yang Changfa to eat, and by the way, she could discuss with him about selling cold skins.

After breakfast the next day, Xiao Yue scrubbed the wooden box made by her father, then spread a layer of soaked white cloth, spread the soaked beans in it, and then covered it with a layer of soaked white cloth, and then watered it once a day in the morning and evening. Because I want the sprouts to grow thicker, I put a weight on top of it. The sprouts grew well for about 6 days, so Xiao Yue put all the sprouts against the wall.

Today's weather is really good, Xiao Yue thought about asking Yang Changfa to take him to the mountains to find out if there were any peppercorns.

Yang Changfa carried his own bow and arrows and carried a basket on his back. Xiao Yue took a few cakes and a cloth bag, and the two went to the mountains together.

There are mountains on three sides of Linshui Village, and the mountains on both sides are relatively small mountains, and the people in the village usually cut firewood and dig wild vegetables on these two mountains. Occasionally, small animals such as pheasants and hares can be found on these two mountains.

And the rest of the mountain, the trees are tall and tight, and there are many vines on the ground, and there are large wild things in it, and under normal circumstances, the people in the village do not go up, only the hunters will go up. Of course, what Xiao Yue and Yang Chang sent was this mountain.

After walking for half an hour, I arrived at the mountain, where the air was humid and the temperature inside was lower than below. Xiao Yue followed behind Yang Changfa, Yang Changfa had a machete in his hand, and he cut off some branches in his way so as not to touch Xiao Yue.

As they were walking, they heard the sound of Xi Suosuo, and both of them stopped, Yang Changfa thought that he could not encounter any more difficult prey, and it was not easy for him to take his daughter-in-law to make a move. Although there are generally no big insects, blind bears, etc. on this mountain, I am afraid of what happens.

He slowly brushed aside the grass in front of him, and it turned out to be a roe deer. The roe deer is an animal that moves quickly, is sensitive, is good at hiding, and is difficult to catch.

Yang Changfa slowly set up his bow and arrows, staring at the roe deer intently. The roe deer was grazing, and was looking around as he chewed.

When Yang Changfa lowered his head, he saw the opportunity to shoot the arrow out with a "whoosh", and hit the hind leg of the roe deer, and it was unable to move so it could not escape.

Yang Changfa walked over and put the roe deer in his back basket, Xiao Yue saw Yang Changfa hunting ** is admired, when shooting arrows, he felt really heroic, although Yang Changfa was wearing the clothes of a country man, Xiao Yue still felt that he was very handsome.

The two of them walked Yang Changfa and told her about their hunting, "At most, there are wild boars on our mountain, and other big prey have to go two more mountains inside." Most of the prey in the mountains are fierce, and I only go to the mountains once a year before it snows, and the rest of the time I spend the rest of my time in the nearby mountains. There are several wolves in the deep mountains, as well as big insects, bears and blind people, the python in it is as thick as my thigh, and there are medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, but generally these medicinal materials are guarded by poisonous substances and it is difficult to get them. ”

Xiao Yue listened to Yang Changfa talk about things in the mountains, and felt that it was really dangerous, she said to Yang Changfa: "Changfa, in the future, you will hunt in the nearby mountains, the danger on these mountains is small, don't go to the mountains, we have already married, what if you have a case, what can I do?" ”

Yang Changfa smiled disapprerovingly, "It's okay, my skills are good." ”

Xiao Yue glared at him, "You are really, it's not for your own good that you don't let you go, it's so dangerous in the mountains, it's just that there is one who shouldn't call the earth and the earth bad every day." ”

Yang Changfa smirked innocently, he didn't tell his daughter-in-law that he was actually planning to go to the mountains recently, and the family didn't have much money, so he wanted to see if he could hunt a big game, so that he could build a new house as soon as possible. Since the daughter-in-law doesn't want to go by herself, forget it, it's a big deal to come to the mountain a few more times by being diligent.

But the daughter-in-law just glared at her like a fried kitten, which made her heart itch. If it was in the house, I would have bullied her well, but now I can only touch my nose and continue to walk forward.

Xiao Yue saw that Yang Changfa finally agreed not to go to the mountains again, so she continued to walk forward, and suddenly her arm was scratched, and she covered her hand in pain.

Yang Changfa hurriedly walked over when he heard the voice, and saw a few red marks on her arm, "You, don't look at it when you walk, it's scratched!" ”

"You..... I scratched all of you, and you still say that I blame this tree....." Xiao Yue turned to look at the tree that injured her, only to realize that it was a pepper tree. By the way, the whole body of the pepper tree is not full of thorns.

I don't know what's going on with the growth of crops in this time and space, some are the same as in the previous life, and some are different, just like the crops, but I clearly remember that the pepper is ripe in July and August, and this time and space is now the end of April but the pepper tree in front of me is ripe, Xiao Yue didn't care about it so much, and was already very excited to circle around the pepper tree.

This pepper tree is quite big, Xiao Yue estimated that he could pick about 20 catties of peppercorns, and took out the cloth bag he brought and began to pick this peppercorn.

Yang Changfa was a little curious when he saw it, "Daughter-in-law, what are you picking this thing for, this thing is so numb." ”

Xiao Yue smiled at Yang Changfa and said, "This is a seasoning for cooking, and you can't eat it directly." ”

When Yang Changfa heard it, he knew that his daughter-in-law was useful, so he also helped his daughter-in-law pick it together.

In half an hour, the pepper tree was finished and a bag was filled. Xiao Yue pricked her mouth, and then put it into the back basket on Yang Changfa's back.

After the two of them were busy, they found a flat place to sit down and rest. Xiao Yue took out the cakes she brought, and the two of them chatted while eating.

Xiao Yue asked Yang Changfa, "Changfa, have you seen peppercorns in other places?" ”

"Sichuan pepper? The one we just picked? ”

"yes, yes!"

"Yes, I've seen them on other hills, but only two or three."

"Okay, next time you go, bring a cloth bag and pick them up."

Yang Changfa nodded in agreement.

The two rested on the spot for a while and then continued walking. Xiao Yue found that the plant in front of her looked like a grapevine, walked a few steps quickly, and took a closer look at it, it turned out to be a grapevine. At this time, it is not ripe, and the flowers have already bloomed, and they have produced soybean-sized fruits on them, and it seems that it will take more than two months to ripen.

Xiao Yue pulled Yang Changfa and asked, "Changfa, have you ever seen a tree like this in other places?" ”

Yang Changfa looked at it carefully, "Is it a purple fruit?" ”

Xiao Yue nodded again and again, "Yes, are there any other places?" ”

Yang Changfa said: "Yes, walking inside, there is a large area, where no one goes near the deep mountains. ”

Xiao Yue immediately laughed when she heard it, there is a large area, this is really good, grapes can make wine, so that his family will have the money to build a house, "Changfa, when this fruit is ripe, you will pick them all back, so that the money for our family to build a house is enough." ”

Yang Changfa looked at Xiao Yue suspiciously, "Daughter-in-law, this wild fruit can't be sold for a few dollars." ”

Xiao Yue glanced at him with disgust, "Fool, who said that he was going to sell wild fruits, this kind of fruit can be made into wine, you will know when the time comes." ”

Yang Changfa smiled, "Daughter-in-law, how do you know so much?" ”

Xiao Yue was secretly shocked, yes! The original body is a village girl in the mountains, and if she knows too much, she will inevitably be exposed! I still have to think about how I can fool the past, "I love to think blindly since I was a child, and I originally wanted to make a lot of things, but my mother was afraid of waste so I was not allowed to do it." Now I'm just messing around on my own, and I don't know when I'll be able to make something good. Anyway, don't ask so much, listen to me. ”

Yang Changfa said: "Okay, if your daughter-in-law wants to do it, I'm not afraid of your waste." ”

Xiao Yue's heart was sweet when she heard this, this person is really a good man who loves his daughter-in-law.

After turning around the mountain again, Yang Changfa shot two pheasants, and the two went home together when it was not early.
