【09】The First Pot of Gold (1)
When I got home, I went into the house and saw that my sister was still asleep, Yuqi didn't wake her up, turned around and ran to the well, looked at the river mussel in the basin, and thought about how to turn it into silver.
After meditating and meditating, after a while, he ran to the second uncle's house with the river mussels in the basin.
"Little Kiki, why did you come so early, Xiao Jie, I still want to ask you to come over for dinner later. Jing Na shook the water from her hand, surprised.
"Sister, Xiaojie is still sleeping. With that, the little body rushed into the kitchen.
Jing Na thought she was hungry and went into the kitchen to find food, so she didn't care, and went into the garden with a pot by the well to pick vegetables.
Yu Qi is very skilled in opening the river mussel with a knife, Yu Qi's eyes are shining, and she scoops out the pearls from the inside, there are only five in total, and they are relatively large and very well-proportioned, but they are happy Yuqi.
After cleaning the pearls and putting them away, they began to clean the meat of the mussels, and prepared to show their hands for a while, and relieve everyone's hunger at noon.
Jing Na entered the kitchen with the basin, saw a large plate of soft things, twisted her eyebrows, and reached out to touch the things on the plate: "Yuqi, what is this." ”
"Sister Na, this is called a river mussel, and its meat is delicious. "Although this mussel is very large, it doesn't have much meat, and when it is cleaned up, it is just such a big plate.
"Eat, does Xiaoqi want to eat meat, and when Sister Na's embroidery is sold, she will buy meat and meat for Xiaoqi to eat, and we won't eat this." ”
Yuqi protected the plate and shook her head like a rattle: "Sister Na, don't, this is a good thing, much better than pork, don't believe it, I'll make it for you at noon." ”
Seeing that she insisted on this, Jing Na stopped arguing and went with her.
After the two had breakfast, Jing Na cleaned up, held a basin with green vegetables, and patted Yuqi's head: "Today, the third uncle's house will cut wheat, and I will help the third aunt cook, will you go." ”
"Go, I haven't made my mussel meat yet. ”
"You, go. She smiled and nodded her fair forehead.
Yuqi laughed a few times, followed Sister Na's side, walked out more than 200 meters along the sheep intestine path, and turned a corner, which was the third uncle's house.
"Third aunt. ”
"Third uncle. ”
"Yo, little Kiki is here too. Fan Zhang's standard melon seed face, when he smiled, had a deep dimple, which was very good-looking.
"Well, the third uncle, I'm here to help the third uncle wash the vegetables today. Yuqi smiled and blinked widely, and nodded very seriously.
Yuqi's small appearance provoked Fan Zhang's laughter: "I don't need you now, when you are older, I am helping the third aunt wash the vegetables." ”
Yuqi shrugged helplessly, her little friends have been helping to pick vegetables, wash vegetables, and light the fire at home for the past few days, and even her sister can send a piece of water, but she doesn't let herself do it, isn't it just to cover up the water once, and her body has already recovered, and they are still not at ease, they are really depressed.
Seeing that the aunt was already busy, she had nothing to do with herself, pouted, took the plate in her hand, and washed it vigorously a few times with the water by the well, before taking it to the kitchen.
After looking for a while in the kitchen, the seasoning was complete by then, and I turned around and found a piece of tofu soaked in the wooden basin, like the third aunt was used to make a big pot of dishes at night.
Yuqi took a knife, put a large piece of tofu in the basin, cut it into thick slices, cut the cleaned river mussel meat into thin slices, add water to the pot, put in the tofu, let it start to burn the fire, and wait for a short time after the pot was boiled, put the river mussel meat, pour in the seasoning and put it on a low fire slowly, and after a while, the aroma of the kitchen filled the small courtyard.
Jing Na stretched out her neck, sniffed, and couldn't help but say, "It's so fragrant, what delicious food the third aunt made at noon." ”
Fan Zhang frowned, and looked at the white steam kitchen suspiciously: "I haven't cooked yet, I'll take a look at the fragrance." ”
When Jing Na heard that the third aunt was not cooking, she saw that there was no Yuqi in the yard, and then she remembered that it must be the little girl who was tinkering with the white soft things.
When Fan Zhang entered the kitchen, he saw that Yuqi was stirring the contents of the pot with a spoon.
"Xiaoqi, what are you doing? ”
Yuqi covered the pot, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I made a lot of mussel rolled tofu, and when the time comes, my aunt will sprinkle some vegetables inside, and you can send vegetables to grandpa, uncle, and eldest brother." ”
"Okay, little Kiki, you can cook, it's amazing. Jing Na winked at Yuqi and praised.
"Hee-hee, that's just a little bit, I'll cook more. Yuqi is not shy at all, and the face that has been praised these days can be stuffed over the city wall.
Fan Zhang waved his hand: "Today's lunch meal, you don't need to taste it, you will know the fragrance as soon as you smell it, and I feel my stomach rumbling now." ”
"Hahaha, auntie, I think so too. ”
The two laughed and came out of the kitchen, cleaned the picked vegetables, and waited to put them in the pot later.
Yuqi looked at the live burning in the stove, brought two large pots of green vegetables, all of them went to the pot, added a little salt, and finally ordered a few drops of sesame oil, and a pot of fragrant vegetables was born.
The third aunt carried the flat burden, and Sister Jingna carried a bucket of water, and led Yuqi to the field to deliver food.
When I arrived at the third uncle's field, I saw that a large piece of golden wheat had been harvested, tied up and placed on the bottom edge, and the rest of the people were still nervously cutting wheat in the field.
"Let's all rest and eat. As soon as the third aunt shouted, the wheat cutters in the field all looked back, and when they saw that it was the one who delivered the food, they put down the sickle in their hands and came over one by one.
Yue Lan put down the sickle in her hand, rushed over to Yuqi in a few steps, dragged her aside, her eyes squinted around, and her mouth did not stop: "Sister Qi, I have been waiting for a long time, just like Sanqiu for so long." ”
"Sanqiu, Brother Lan, what are you talking about, it's too exaggerated. ”
"Quick, good sister, tell my brother, what the hell is that thing. ”
Yuqi turned her head to look around, the villagers were eating, and no one paid attention to this, so she carefully took out the five pearls from her arms.
"Brother Lan, look, this is a pearl, but it's a good thing. ”
Yue Lan stretched out her hand and smeared the beads, each bead was as big as an adult's thumb cover, white, nothing else, put the beads on Xiaoyu's hand again, puzzled for a while, and then asked: "This thing is a good thing?
"This thing can be used for medicine and jewelry, do you say can it be exchanged for silver!"
"Really, great, Sister Qi, when Jiuyi and I go to the big river to fish, we will send it to you when the time comes, and when the wheat is finished, I will lead you to the town to exchange for silver." When Yue Lan heard that this thing could be exchanged for silver, her happy mouth was listed behind her ears.
Seeing that he was obsessed with money, Yuqi twitched his eyelids fiercely, who said that ancient men were like money and dung, come out, my sister will not beat you.
"Yes, by the way, bring me your kitchen knife. ”
"Kitchen knives? Okay, no problem, I'll send them to you when the time comes." ”
Yuqi smiled lightly, look, no need to spend money, someone sent the kitchen knife.
The two discussed, Brother Yue Lan provided things, and he got it out, and sold it by the way, and when the time came, the silver was shared, and the three of them shared it equally. After everything was assigned, Yue Lan went to eat happily, and even worked in the afternoon with endless strength.
For several days in a row, in the middle of the night, Brother Yuelan and Brother Jiuyi were like thieves, and the birds quietly sent to Yuqi, and when it was dawn, Dad and his mother went out to help a few uncles dry wheat in the space, Yuqi took a large pot of river mussels to the space, carefully opened the river mussels, picked out the pearls inside, and threw the river mussels back into the big river in the space, thinking about taking them out after a while, and seeing if they could grow pearls again. By the way, it can be regarded as a test of what functions this space has, and whether it is as magical as written in the 'treasure book'.
On August 3, the wheat of the three uncles' families was taken care of, and the fields were planted with the farmers, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, when my father came home, he was still carrying a bag of wheat on his back, Fan Zhu saw this, wept, and blamed himself: "If I hadn't hemorrhaged heavily when I gave birth to two children, our family would not have bought the land for me to see the disease. ”
"Lady, why are you still turning over the old yellow calendar, let's not talk about it, wait for us to earn more silver. Yuqi's outstretched hand slowly retracted, and before her father and mother finished speaking, Yuqi ran back to the hut, and secretly swore in her heart that she must put this crumbling home up again and let it shine in the eyes of the world
