Time passed day by day, the hot weather seemed to be gone after a rain, although the weather was still warm, but it was no longer stuffy like the feeling in the steamer, Cui'er sensitively felt that autumn was coming.

Cui'er walked in her old yard with a basket, preparing to find a way to store the eggplant, beans and the like that she couldn't finish but had grown a lot, and save them for when there were no vegetables in winter.

"Girl, in previous winters, was it cold at home?" Cui'er was picking the big eggplant while chatting with the big girl.

"Well, it's cold, and it will snow a lot, and sometimes, the door of the house can't be opened, so my father climbs on the roof to sweep the snow, saying that he is afraid that the house will collapse." The girl shrank her neck slightly and said, as if she could still remember the cold weather.

"Oh my God, is it going to be so cold? Then we have to save some vegetables for something, or there will be nothing to eat in the winter, it will be miserable. Cui'er heard the words of the big girl, and thought that Lian Qingshan had told her to reserve food and vegetables for the winter a few days ago, and the movements under her hands became faster and faster.

"Girl, when you get home, help my mother dry these vegetables into dried vegetables, and then put them in a cloth bag and store them, and when we are winter, we can use dried eggplants to fry meat and eat, okay?" Cui'er guided the big girl step by step, hoping to arouse her interest in doing housework, so that she could learn a lot of things, and it would be more convenient to marry in the future.

"Okay!" The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and in the impression of the girl, there was nothing bad about the dishes made by her mother, and when she thought of the delicious dishes, the girl's movements were also faster.

Giggle...... Giggle...... When Cui'er and Da Niu were busy in the vegetable garden, they suddenly heard a strange rooster cry from the chicken pen, and the two threw down the vegetable basket and walked in the direction of the chicken pen, just in time to see an old hen clucking, and then burrowing into the chicken coop.

"What is this for?" The big girl asked curiously.

"I don't know, it's been less than half a month since this old hen was delivered to our house, and I don't know if it can still lay eggs." Cui'er said as she watched the old hen move. I have raised so many chickens at home, and I see that the ones I have raised are the same size as adult chickens, why don't I lay eggs?

"Mother, look!" When Cui'er was thinking about something. The big girl had already seen the old hen who had just called into the circle, and she staggered to her feet again, and where she was lying on the grass, there was a red-skinned egg.

"Ah, it's an egg!" As soon as Cui'er was thinking about the eggs, the old hen began to lay eggs, which was really unexpected!

"I'm going to get the eggs out." The big girl volunteered to rush into the chicken pen, carefully holding out the still hot eggs with her little hands, and her big round eyes smiled like a crescent.

"It's good that our chickens are laying eggs." Cui'er smiled and took the egg. looked left and right at his own long chicken coop, and said to the big girl, "Go and see if there are other chickens that have laid eggs, if there are." Let's get it back together. ”

"Great!" The big girl was very happy with this order, and she ran back to the chicken pen in a hurry, squatting in front of the chicken pen to observe the situation in the chicken coop, not to mention, she really let the big girl find two eggs, when she walked to Cui'er with two slightly smaller red eggs, her eyes smiled into a small slit.

"Oops. There are eggs! Cui'er was also pleasantly surprised that there were really eggs, "Let's go, let's show the eggs to my father and let him know that the chickens raised by our eldest girl have also laid eggs!" Cui'er smiled and hugged the big girl and went to the new yard.

At this time, Lian Qingshan. The five wolf skins have been dried and the wolf skins and the rabbit skins are being rolled up and bundled.

"Daddy, Daddy...... Come and see, my chickens are laying eggs! The girl's hand was raised high, and she handed the first two small eggs in her hand to Lian Qingshan.

"Yo. Eggs! "Even Qingshan smiled and looked at the eggs in the big girl's little hands, although they are smaller, they are also real eggs, aren't they?" It's really good, the big girl asked her mother to steam this egg into egg custard, you and Xiaohu have a bowl of each, okay? ”

"Good!" When the big girl heard that there was egg custard, she grinned heartily, and then pointed to Cui'er, "There is a big egg in my mother's house, my father and mother also eat it, adults eat big eggs, and children eat small eggs." ”

"Okay, the big girl is still thinking about her father and mother, what a good boy!" Lian Qingshan took the big girl in his arms and kissed her head, saw the skin on the ground, thought about it, and decided to sell the wolf skin, and the remaining rabbit skin was kept for his family to make clothes.

"Giggle......" The big girl was tickled by Lian Qingshan's slightly prickly stubble, giggling and hiding in Lian Qingshan's arms, and she was afraid that she would accidentally break the egg, so she was very entangled. Or Cui'er watched the big girl being helpless by her father and rescued her.

"Let's put the eggs in the basket first, and then go get some vegetables, our chickens have laid eggs, and in the future, the big girl and the little tiger will eat eggs, and they can eat enough!" Cui'er took the girl's hand and said as she walked, this is what she wanted to achieve when she raised chickens, and now it is finally going to be realized.

After putting the eggs in place, Cui'er went to the vegetable garden in the old yard again, and the big eggplants that grew fat, the fresh and tender green beans, and the long strings of cowpeas, all of which should be able to be dried into vegetables in Cui'er's memory. There are also Chinese cabbage, potatoes, turnips, and sweet potatoes, which can be stored all winter if they are stored properly.

Cui'er was thinking in her heart to get more vegetables to survive the winter, so she couldn't help but count the problem of meat, the weather is still too hot to store meat, and when the meat can be stored in the winter, I'm afraid there won't be so much meat.

Even after Qingshan's body is healed, it is really like what he said before, he can come back from the mountains with some game from time to time, one chicken today, two rabbits tomorrow, it really enriches the dining table at home, it doesn't take long to work, and the rabbit skins at home have been saved more than a dozen.

Pheasant...... Rabbit...... Cui'er's mind suddenly popped up an idea, in her previous life, she often saw what kind of game in the mountains was smoked chicken and rabbit, although her own family also smoked some meat, but it was often smoked and put for two or three days.

After making up her mind, Cui'er's face became even more smiling, and she took the big girl to pick a basket full of large eggplants and carried them back to the new yard.

When she arrived at the backyard of the new yard, Cui'er put the big eggplant on the edge of the sink and washed the big eggplant one by one.

This trough is even when Qingshan is fine, when the whole piece is chiseled, it is a bit similar to the trough for feeding horses, except that one side is connected to a bamboo pipe to receive water from the waterwheel, and the other side is a hole for water, usually wash clothes, wash vegetables or something, it is very convenient in this sink, comparable to tap water.

Cui'er neatly cut the big eggplant into finger-thick eggplant strips on the cutting board, and then asked the big girl to stack the eggplant strips in the basket and put them in the backyard to dry. The mother two cut one by one and dried one by one, but the division of labor and cooperation is excellent, less than half an hour of effort, a large basket of eggplants only two or three left.

The two mothers were busy drying the eggplant, and when Cui'er was thinking about whether she was going to pick another basket later, she saw Xiaohu rubbing his eyes and walking out of the house.

"Xiaohu, are you awake?" Xiaohu's sleep is heavier, especially when the day is not so hot, and it is comfortable to sleep, Xiaohu will sleep again after lunch every day, and now it is time to wake up.

"Mother~" Xiaohu called softly, came to Cui'er, hugged Cui'er's legs in a daze, Cui'er looked at Xiaohu so sticky to herself, and her heart was soft.

"Did you sleep well?" Cui'er hugged Xiaohu in her arms, probed the temperature of his pink little face, and felt that there was nothing abnormal, so she was relieved.

"Well...... Xiaohu was still a little lazy and didn't want to move, but he felt that something was pulling his trouser legs, and when he looked down, it was Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan, two little milk wolves.

"Hehe, Tuan Tuan, Yuanyuan, you guys are awake too!" Xiaohu saw the little milk wolf, said with a smile, instantly got up, he rubbed on Cui'er's leg again, and then reluctantly ran away with the two little milk wolves.

"Girl, you can rest for a while, I'll take care of the rest." Cui'er saw the big girl looking at the little milk wolf with a coveted face, and said with a smile.

"Good!" The big girl got the pardon, and Sahuan'er ran over to play with the little milk wolf.

Cui'er quickly cut the eggplant, remembering the situation after the two little milk wolves arrived at home, these two little things don't know if they are as human as their mothers, and the little things that are a little big before their eyes are opened, they actually know that they have no milk at home, and they can eat anything, and they can eat the bud rice batter or something, and they come to themselves when they have nothing to do, wagging their tails to please or something.

If she hadn't delivered the black she-wolf herself, Cui'er would have thought that these two little milk wolves were just pretty-looking puppies raised by ordinary people. Look at the little fluffy body, look at the swaying and cheerful little tail, look at the fart following the children...... What does it look like a wolf?

When it was time for dinner, Cui'er made three bowls of egg custard from the three eggs she picked up today, which was naturally one bowl big and two bowls small, which happened to be eaten by a family of four.

The oily golden egg custard, a little sesame oil, sprinkled with a little coriander, fragrant so that the mouth watered, scoop a spoonful into the mouth, fragrant and smooth, it is really delicious.

"Cui'er, I'm going to the town tomorrow to sell wolf skins, why do you want to buy some?" After eating, Lian Qingshan said to Cui'er.

"Well, the bedding at home is no longer warm, let's buy some cloth and cotton by the way." Cui'er nodded when she heard this, and wondered if she wanted to buy other things.

Have a nice weekend~
