Qian Xiancheng finally had another vacation and returned home. This time, he was still fortunate to get the monthly money, and he was very happy.

"Mother Han, look what I bring back."

Wen Jin's probe is two pieces of lotus vegetables.

"Second uncle, where did you buy it?"

"The owner gave it, and the owner raised a big pool of lotus, red flowers and white flowers in summer, but it was beautiful, and now, it also harvests lotus seeds and lotus roots."

"Do you want to harvest the lotus root now?"

"No, the young master of the owner wanted to eat it, so his wife ordered someone to dig up some and rewarded me with two pieces."

"Dad, that is, you are very respected in the owner's house?" Wen Han asked.

"Hmm!" Qian Xiancheng's face was full of confidence and satisfaction.

Webster heard it on the side, and couldn't help but smile, although the work in her hands never stopped.

When the family's economy improved, Webster stopped spinning and weaving, but put the mouseskin that Wen Jin took back, one by one, and prepared to make a few leather horse coats for his family.

When the conditions are good, who doesn't want a man's son to dress decently?

Wen Jin didn't know how the mechanization and automation in the previous life accomplished such a job, the mountain rat skin was very small, piece by piece, and he had to pay attention to the direction of the fluff, as well as not to cut it as much as possible, and sew out a leather coat, which was really too laborious.

Webster's skillful hands, it didn't take long for her to do it on the front, almost no traces of the seams, ingenious, that's what describes her skillful hands.

Wei finished sewing a thread in his hand, then stood up and took out a burden from the house: "Dad, you see, Wen Jin caught a lot of mountain mice last winter, cooked the skin, and I made you a gown." ”

Qian Xiancheng received it in his hand, rubbed it, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes: "When I was a child, my family had a good life, and my mother was in good health at that time, making leather robes for our brothers." Seeing things and thinking about things, he thought of his mother, who had died young, and the courtyard was silent for a while.

"Second uncle, didn't your uncle and grandmother make you a leather robe?" Wen Jin asked knowingly.

"No, your uncle and grandmother don't know how to make clothes, and when your grandmother passed away, our clothes were all made by tailors in Liang."

"Then she said that she worked hard to raise you, why did it work? The clothes were not made by her, and it was Granny Ji who used to cook at home, what did she work for? ”

Qian Xiancheng was speechless, Wei glanced at Wen Jin, his eyes were complicated, as if he was afraid that the man would be angry, there was a reminder in that look, and he was a little wary and helpless.

Wen Jin had no choice but to change the subject: "Second uncle, this time you go to the owner's place, I want to follow too." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"We also have a pond, can the owner sell us some lotus root seeds, next year, we can eat our own lotus roots."

"You don't have to go, I'll ask clearly, just buy it back."

"That's good, second uncle, but how do you buy it and bring it back? It's best for you to tell the owner, let's pay the freight, he will send someone to deliver the goods, it's best to send someone who can plant it, help us plant the lotus root well, how much money we pay him. ”

"How much does that cost?" Qian Xiancheng was taken aback.

"Dad, we're rich now." Wei Shi said a little shyly, "The two children learned the method of pickling duck eggs from books, which was so delicious that the shopkeeper Wang gave a high price and sold it for twenty taels of silver in two months." ”

Qian Xiancheng was taken aback: "What is more expensive than meat?" ”

"Second uncle, scarcity is expensive, we are only allowed to make 200 a month, and we don't charge more, they just want to raise the price."

"Also, sold two big pigs, more than 100 males? Ducks, it should be enough money to grow lotus roots. ”

"Okay, okay." Qian Xiancheng was relieved and emotional, and his expression was very complicated, "The booklet I bought back, there are so many things?" ”

"Hmmm! Dad, it's just a method of pickling duck eggs, which is very vaguely written, Wen Jin and I took a lot of effort to try it out, otherwise, it wouldn't have been sold at a high price. ”

"Good boy, you and Wen Jin are both good boys." He's been looking through that book, a nerd, where can he find the opportunity? What's more, the person who writes the book blindly sells his writing, and it is very difficult to understand, and Qian Xiancheng cannot gain anything at all. Therefore, he was particularly pleased to see that the two children were promising.

The fish in the pond were already big, Wen Jin used a homemade net to catch three, Uncle Shi helped kill them, Wen Jin washed them, left one for the two of them, brought back two, put salt, and put them in the pot to steam them. Webster washed the lotus vegetables, cut them into thin slices, blanched them in water, mixed them cold, fried a plate of duck eggs, cut a few pine eggs, steamed a pot of white rice, and made lunch.

Qian Xiancheng was stunned when he saw such a sumptuous meal: "This, this, this is all in time for our host's food." ”

"Dad, we don't eat like this on weekdays, and this is what you only do when you come back. Besides, you can also taste it, the rice is grown in our field, the eggs are pickled by the children, and the fish is also caught in the pond of our own family. ”

"Oh, good!" Qian Xiancheng didn't expect that in more than half a year, his family would have undergone such a big change, and he was full of emotion in the face of a table of sumptuous dishes.

"Second uncle, come and taste this fish." Wen Jin likes the fish to be steamed, sprinkle a layer of chili noodles on it, then heat the oil, and splash it evenly on it with a small spoonful, the oil is spicy and the fish fragrance is mixed together, the deliciousness is simply indescribable, the living conditions in the previous life were so good, the fish she made, colleagues and family members all praised it, let alone this life.

Qian Xiancheng eats very elegantly, he pays great attention to etiquette, after a long time, he naturally forms such a demeanor, and he can't see that he used to lack clothes and wear less clothes at home, and he was so down-and-out.

"Delicious!" Qian Xiancheng ate one and praised one, Wei's face was overflowing with joy, and Wen Han was also happy.

Qian Xiancheng couldn't come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he brought some duck eggs and rice, and went to Lao Jiao's place for a turn, in order to fulfill the etiquette of the younger generation, Wen Jin couldn't stop it, and complained in front of Wen Han: "That kind of relative, it's better not to have it, maybe I can't remember to come over and search for it, the second uncle is simply seducing people." ”

"Alas!" Wen Han smiled bitterly, he thought that his father was right, he wanted to complain, and he also complained that Dafang was too greedy.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, Qian Xiancheng went this time, and he didn't know when he would be back, so Wei Shi prepared the finished cotton clothes and shoes to pack the baggage, and brought them to him.

"Daddy, this is shoe polish, you start wearing it, you have to use a brush to oil the shoes every day, and then polish them with a cloth to make them shiny, not only decent, but also not easy to break."

"Oh!" Qian Xiancheng touched the fur inside his leather boots, "This must be very warm." ”

"Of course, Wang Shanren paid the price of five taels of silver for a pair of boots." Wen Han said casually.

"What? Five taels of silver? No, no, then, these boots are still sold, I don't wear them anymore, last year's pair was fine, I just wear that. ”

Qian Xiancheng took the boots out of his baggage.

People are different, if you change to Lao Jiao's, you won't be able to follow her if you don't give it to her.

"Second uncle, this is what Uncle Tieshan and Uncle Lai just learned to do, it's not beautiful enough, if it's cheap for Wang Shanren, the good ones in the back can't be sold at a high price, so just wear them for everyone. Look at this skin, the color dyed is dark, the shade is shallow. ”

Qian Xiancheng will be skeptical.

Wen Jin ran into the house and took out his own: "Look, my brother and I have it too, and it's taller than your shoe waist." ”

"How much does this cost-" Qian Xiancheng was very distressed.

Wen Jin couldn't help it: "Second uncle, the furry skin inside is the mouseskin caught by me and Uncle Dashan, and the outside is pigskin, which is not very valuable, I helped Uncle Tieshan a lot, he will give it to me cheaper, don't worry about it, it won't be cheap." ”

"His father, this is the child's mind, your feet have always been frozen in the past two years, so wear thicker this year." Webster was also anxious to help.

"Okay." Qian Xiancheng was very moved, and glanced at Wen Jin and Wen Han deeply.

On this day, Wang Jishan just took away all the duck eggs at home, and met Jiao's and Qian Chuankean at the gate.

"See? Sell all of these, this is because you don't want us to eat a bite, and you are in the eyes of money. Jiao Shi muttered to the money strings, but the voice was clearly heard by the few people standing at the door to see off the guests.

Webster opened his mouth and screamed like a mosquito: "Big sister! Sister-in-law! ”

Jiao Shi and Qian String were flat-faced, and entered the courtyard with their heads held high, Wei Shi followed behind, hurriedly walked to the front, and put away the teacup and teapot under the plane tree: "Sister, sister-in-law, sit down, I'll make tea for you." ”

"Uh-huh, they've all drunk tea, and last year, when such a distinguished person as the king came, he still grinded some sesame foam and boiled it. The liar said it was called 'sesame paste'. ”

As soon as Jiao's came, it was such a face, and Wei immediately bowed his head, a little daughter-in-law, and Wen Jin was very angry.

Webster is this, she is used to being oppressed, doesn't she know that she should straighten her waist even more if she is an upright person?

Wen Jin was certainly angry at Wei's silence, but Jiao was also very anxious on the side, she didn't expect Qian Chuanchuan to be so mentally retarded, and she really sent a man to turn over the ground, and she didn't want to think about it, if it was easy, could Qian Wenjin say it so happily? After a year of collisions, Jiao already knew that this little guy was very difficult to mess with, and he had hardly touched her hands.

Wen Jin also admired Wei's forbearance, she just didn't say anything, and let Jiao's constant provocation there.

"The second one, your tea, is it the leftover tea just now?"

"No, I soaked it again."

"Fool whom? How stingy are you when I don't know? ”

"Really, Wen Jin wanted to buy it with pickled tea eggs."

When Qian Chuanchuan heard this, he immediately smiled: "What about the pickled eggs?" ”

"The ducks only lay at night, and just now Wang Shanren transported all the duck eggs, and there was no one left."

"I don't believe it." Qian Kuanchuan stood up, this turned out to be her home, and she quickly walked through several houses, even the backyard. I didn't find the duck eggs, but I was in a bad mood. She now lives in a thatched hut, and when she looks at the big brick house here, her heart is as sad as a fire.
