Chapter 14 Common Prosperity, Xiao'e is Hungry
When the sky was bright, the rooster of the fifth aunt's house next door began to crow, and the hen also clucked and pecked.
There is an old one on the top, and a small one on the bottom.
The biggest entry in the fifth aunt's family is that the chickens lay eggs, and it is the work of the fifth aunt's son Han Xin to release the captive chickens in the morning and come back in the evening.
The fifth aunt's husband's surname is Han, and Han Qiuyun has the same surname, and they also moved from Hanjiawan earlier, and the two families are closer than other families in Yushuwan.
"Oops!" Han Qiuyun is used to getting up early to spin thread, and after the rooster crows, he has to get up and dress, but he almost can't get up.
"Does it still hurt?" Wei Shi heard the movement, his arm tightened, and he pulled Han Qiuyun back into the warm quilt.
This woman is really made of water, let her do whatever she wants, and be obedient.
Unlike the arrogant and strong feminists of later generations, they were touted and spoiled one by one, picking their noses and eyes at their men during the day, and coldly saying that they wanted to sleep in separate beds at night.
"It doesn't hurt." Han Qiuyun obediently shrunk into the quilt, like a warm kitten.
"Sleep a little longer, it's early." Wei Shi hugged Han Qiuyun's thin waist tightly and said softly.
"No, Xiao'e is about to wake up." Han Qiuyun's face turned red again, it was okay to do something embarrassing at night, Wei Shi was still thinking about the day.
It's a shame.
"Xiao'e, let her be hungry for a while, I found out that she has been too fat recently, and she needs to lose weight." Wei Shi wrapped his arms around Han Qiuyun and was reluctant to give up, and he was quite dissatisfied with Wei Xiao'e's ability to eat.
"What nonsense? Children just need to eat more, not go hungry. Han Qiuyun patted Wei Shi's dishonest hand and said angrily.
Although Wei Xiao'e is small, she eats a lot, if she is hungry, Han Qiuyun will not follow.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.
Wei Xiao'e has no parents, and she and Wei Shi are the closest people to her.
After lying in bed for a while, Han Qiuyun gently lifted the quilt and prepared to get up and cook.
She has been bullied by the Han family's brothers and sisters-in-law since she was a child, but she doesn't want to become a bad sister-in-law herself.
Wei Shi reluctantly let go of his hand and helped Han Qiuyun up, he also knew the foodie attributes of his sister.
It's a long time coming.
He still has important things to do today.
The pedal spinning wheel has been sold to Mi's, and now he has promised his neighbors to make it, if Mi Zhen and Mi Zhu know, they will definitely have a gap in their hearts.
When Fu Wei left, Wei Shi had already asked him to bring a message to Mi Zhu and invite him to Yushu Bay to make money, what Wei Shi had in his mind was not just the spinning wheel.
For example, now, if the people in the village have a new spinning wheel, the output of spinning thread will be greatly increased, and now there is no Cai and this thread to sell, so it can only be sold to the Mi family business.
Following the management of one village and one project in later generations and taking the route of large-scale operation is the new idea of Wei Shi, the head of the generation.
In the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, he led a village to achieve common prosperity.
It's as crazy as it gets.
But Wei Shi didn't think it was impossible.
In the Wuhu Rebellion period after the Three Kingdoms, the Han people in the north had to rely on one dock fort after another, and survived the rounds of slaughter by the Hu people.
As far as Wei Shi's life experience is concerned, talking about his humble background is to put gold on his face, more precisely, it should be the lowest Li Shu, Lu Zuo, and Buyi.
If Wei Shi wants to rise, develop, and grow in the Three Kingdoms era, he must have trustworthy people around him, even if he finds the relatives of the Wei family in the future, he will not be able to be loyal to Wei Shi.
In contrast, the five aunts and others who were in the same village and were taken care of by Wei Shi, although they were not related, as long as they realized the binding of interests, they could be trusted.
"Qiuyun, I'll go to Zhang Erni's house and talk to her man about building a spinning wheel and building a wooden shed." Wei Shi filled two mouthfuls of food and hurried out.
Zhang Erni's man's surname is Zhong, his name is very ordinary, the forest of the woods, and Wei Shi are small.
The Zhong family has a bit of mountainous terrain, can grow beans and millet, the Zhong family's parents are also alive, and the life is a little stronger than the Wei family.
Hearing Wei Shi's arrival, the Zhong family's parents and Zhong Lin hurriedly greeted them at the door.
When the Cai family gained power, they did not dare to come forward to persuade them, for fear of provoking Cai Guang and other scoundrels, and now that the Cai family has lost power, Wei Shi has become the acting mayor, and the second elder of the Zhong family is also very happy.
"Uncle Zhong, next, I will gather people to build a spinning shed, you know a lot of people, and your prestige is high, help me drink a few times in the village."
"Aunt Zhong, I'll leave it to you when you do food, what do you need, you ask Qiuyun for it."
"Linzi, Erni, you two have the heaviest task, Linzi, you take the carpenters of the village to the elm forest to cut down trees and make the skeleton of the spinning wheel, Erni, you go and gather some powerful women, let them learn it first, so that the spinning wheel will not be stepped on when it is ready."
Wei Shi ordered one thing after another, and sent the four members of the Zhong family to turn around.
However, judging from the excited expressions of Zhong Lin and the others, they didn't mind at all, Wei Shi was able to think of the Zhong family for the first time, because he could afford them.
With the role model of the Zhong family and the five aunts, almost all the people in the village of Yushuwan were mobilized, except for a few diehards of the Cai family.
The men cut down trees and built tents, and the women rubbed ropes and spinned threads, and they were busy.
Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun have a master outside and a master inside, and they cooperate seamlessly, and the five aunts, who have always been sharp-eyed, saw that Han Qiuyun was a little inconvenient to walk, so they hurriedly grabbed their work and got busy.
When others came to help, Wei Shi was not stingy.
A few days ago, I had hunted a few hares, pheasants, and half a bag of wheat, and they all took them out.
Considering the large number of people, it may not be enough to eat.
Wei Shi also asked the village woman to buy some bitter vegetables, camellia and amaranth, these wild vegetables were not rare in this era, and the villagers were almost vomiting after eating, but in later generations, after careful cooking, wild vegetables were a rare healthy delicacy with high prices.
Blanch it with water and serve it to the table.
Such wild vegetables are bitter and astringent, and difficult to swallow.
Wei Shi put salt in the wild vegetables, accompanied by enough oil, and then beat the wheat into flour, and the two stumbled together to make a ball of vegetable cakes.
When the vegetable cake is pasted on the hot pan, the fragrant smell wafts away, which makes people's appetite move.
"Brother, brother, I want to eat ......, Xiao'e is going to starve to death." Wei Xiao'e sniffed, smelled the fragrance and rushed into the kitchen, and threw herself at the hot pot, so startled that Wei Shi hurriedly hugged her.
"Here, you eat slowly, don't get hot."
Wei Shi had no resistance to his own sister-in-law, and the first vegetable cake out of the pot fell into Wei Xiao'e's mouth.
"Sister Xiao'e, can you give me a bite." Behind Wei Xiao'e, there were a few village children who came along, and after seeing them, their eyes lit up, and their saliva kept flowing.
"Well, give it, take a bite, just take a small bite!" Wei Xiao'e carefully held the cake and sent it to Han Xin, the fifth aunt behind her.
Wei Shi looked at Wei Xiao'e, who was reluctant, and his heart was warm.
Although this girl is greedy, she is kind-hearted and knows how to share good things with her friends.
The child tasted the first bite, and when he was full, he ran out.
The villagers, who had been busy for most of the day, gathered in front of the bamboo basket containing vegetable cakes, pheasant and hare soup under the greeting of Han Qiuyun.
"Brother Shi, sister-in-law, I dig wild vegetables, eat wild vegetables all my life, I have never eaten such delicious food, what is the secret recipe for your cake, tell my sister-in-law."
The fifth aunt was angry and ate with a mouth full of oil.
"Fifth aunt, let me tell you, if you are willing to put oil, salt, and fragrant essences, you can ensure that the wild vegetables you make are also delicious."
"Forget it, my family can't afford to eat such wild vegetables." The fifth aunt regretted that the man in her family never returned, leaving only two old and one young, and the family relied on her alone, and life was difficult.
