With the sugar sent by Yang Yuanding, Zhang Sijiu certainly got twice the result with half the effort.

The money earned on the first day adds up to more than one hundred and forty in total, which is still a net profit aside from costs.

Zhang Sijiu took a hundred money to the Xu family and asked the Xu family to save it to repair the pigsty.

Then after dinner in the evening, I finished the little pumpkin and went to bed early.

This day was really tired, she could say that as soon as she lay down in bed and closed her eyes, the whole person fell asleep.

But Xu Shi thought about what Zhang Sijiu said, and couldn't fall asleep over and over.

Zhang Xiaoshan snorted beside him so loudly that Xu Shi kicked him: "You know how to sleep!" ”

This kick almost didn't kick Zhang Xiaoshan down.

Zhang Xiaoshan naturally woke up, but he was not awake yet: "What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

Xu Shi bumped into Zhang Xiaoshan again: "Jiuniang said something today, I think it makes sense." ”

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't think about it at all, but echoed half-asleep: "It's not good to make sense?" ”

Xu Shi simply sat up and shook Zhang Xiaoshan up again: "I'll discuss something with you." ”

Zhang Xiaoshan had no choice but to sit up, but he still wanted to continue to fall asleep. It's just that he still doesn't dare to disobey his daughter-in-law's words: "What's the matter? Aren't we all in charge of our family? ”

"You're dead, huh?" Xu was so angry that he pinched Zhang Xiaoshan: "When will I be in charge alone?" What you say makes people think how fierce I am! ”

Zhang Xiaoshan swallowed "Isn't it fierce" back and laughed dryly. took out the usual Dafa of pretending to be confused: "I said it wrong, I said it wrong." ”

Xu Shi was also angry, and talked to Zhang Xiaoshan about repairing the pigsty: "Originally, I wanted to save this money, but Jiuniang was right, if you raise two more pigs, when the time comes, you will return to the capital." And Jiuniang is so young, she can understand this truth, and she is so energetic. We are adults, don't we still understand? ”

Zhang Xiaoshan finally sobered up a little: "Do you want to repair the pigsty?" ”

"Hmm." Xu was a little worried: "But how can you tell your mother?" ”

"Let's just say that I saw someone raising pigs to make money." Although Zhang Xiaoshan is usually silent, if something really happens, he won't pretend to be stupid: "My mother won't ask more." When asked, I said I heard it in the county office. That's right. ”

He rarely said a little more: "It's just the two of us, and the four children in the family are a little difficult." If you don't want to make more money, you will have a hard time in the future. It's just hard for you. ”

Zhang Xiaoshan really felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and he felt a little guilty in his heart: "These days, it's a little pumpkin again, and it's helping Jiuniang again, and there is still so much work at home - go back and kill a chicken, you can make up for it." You don't even want to eat a few bites of fish at night. ”

When Xu heard that her husband cared about her, her heart was sweet, but she didn't feel tired at all: "I encountered this at home, and I couldn't help it." I can't really give up Jiuniang and the little pumpkin. As for tiredness, I think Jiuniang is more desperate than me. I understand her thoughts, but in my heart, it's not a taste. How old is she! ”

"It's good to be sensible." Zhang Xiaoshan's words are simple, but the reason is not rough: "If you suffer now, you can enjoy happiness in the future." ”

The older generation, don't they all say that it is bitter first and then sweet?

Zhang Xiaoshan also has selfish intentions: "And Jiuniang is sensible, you can also worry less." Not so tired. ”

Anyway, at the age of eight or nine, I can do a lot of work.

Xu sighed: "It's because I'm sensible that I feel distressed." ”

Ignorant children, that's because someone is used to it. But which sensible and precocious child is not because no one is used to it?

Zhang Xiaoshan was also silent.

He wiped his head and sighed for a long time: "Even if there is one eldest brother or sister-in-law, it would be fine." ”

Xu was also silent.

Finally, she lay down and said, "Repair the pigsty!" The money you earn, plus the money Jiu Niang earns, will be repaired when you are done! Just after the repair, it is time to harvest the grain. By the way, the yard dam is also leveled. We have also turned over a few houses and made up for them, and now they are all leaking a little bit. ”

Speaking of work, Zhang Xiaoshan was not afraid at all, and immediately relaxed.

He lay down: "Okay, when the time comes, I'll ask Ergou to help me do it for two days." Just take care of the food. It was done in a few days. He will go back to work, and I will help again. ”

The husband and wife both closed their eyes and slept.

The next morning, everyone got up early again in the morning.

Especially Zhang Sijiu, before the Xu family got up, she got up first.

When Xu got up, she had boiled her drinks and was ready to cook porridge.

However, Xu said: "I don't eat porridge today, I still have fish soup left over last night, and I cook fish soup and eat gnocchi today." ”

After speaking, Xu Shi took out the clay pot and scooped out two large bowls of flour from the noodle pocket to prepare the noodles.

In these years, because of the problem of flour grinding technology, it seems that the flour is not white, but a little gray, which looks a little dull, and the degree of fineness is not so high.

Therefore, flour is called gray flour here.

Whoever wants to use gray flour can just exchange wheat with the mill.

Xu kneading the dough, and Zhang Sijiu was lighting the fire next to him to observe.

I have to say that kneading dough is really a decompression process.

Add water little by little and knead the flour into a tough dough.

Then Xu asked Zhang Sijiu to light the fire, and she herself stood on the edge of the stove, holding the noodles in one hand, and quickly pulled down a small piece of noodles with the other hand, holding it in the palm of her hand, and then directly put the gnocchi that turned into a long, a little like a small loach, into the boiling water along the edge of the pot.

One by one, the gnocchi went down to the pot, and when it was cooked, it slowly floated up.

After the dough was finished, Xu poured the whole fish soup left over from yesterday into the pot and waited for the fish soup to mix with the hot water.

Afraid that the taste would not be enough, she also fished out two slices of sour greens, cut them thinly, and put them in the pot together.

In the end, he asked Zhang Sijiu to go out and pinch a handful of herb leaves at the gate - this thing is often used recently. Almost every household has planted it on their doorstep. Some even take a broken pot and plant it next to the kitchen at home, so that it can be used at any time.

Pinched some of the young leaves, Zhang Sijiu scooped a scoop of water, washed it and handed it to Xu.

Xu rolled the herb leaves before he began to cut them, and the slices were very fine, almost a few tenths of a centimeter.

When the gnocchi soup in the pot was ready, she sprinkled the herb leaves into the pot.

In an instant, that ordinary pot of fish-flavored gnocchi soup had a soul.

Zhang Sijiu sniffed and couldn't help but admire: "It's so fragrant, the second aunt really knows how to cook!" ”

When there is no oil and no stir-frying, it is really amazing to be able to make such a fragrant meal!

Xu Shi was overjoyed, but on the surface, he smiled and glanced at Zhang Sijiu: "What's so strange about this?" Growing up and eating less? ”
