Chapter 614: Gluttony
Early in the morning, the birds on Roaring Spring Mountain were noisy.
Xia He hurriedly entered the house, first checked all the emollient oil that the little lady was going to use, and then tested the water temperature before going to see her little lady get up and wash.
After washing up and having breakfast, Xia He came over and said that the old cow head in the village at the foot of the mountain brought his granddaughter to thank the little lady.
His granddaughter is Niu Xiaolan, the girl who almost died in the Zhuangzi.
Mu Qingyun was very impressed by her, this is a girl who can persevere in a desperate environment and is full of resilience.
Not long after, Mu Qingyun saw the two men in the ear room, the old bull looked very bored, and when he saw Mu Qingyun, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Mu Qingyun: "......"
Xia He hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the person and said in a low voice: "Our little lady is kind-hearted, and she can't see this the most, don't be like this." β
The old bull head thanked him for his kindness, and burst into tears: "After this girl was robbed, my son and daughter-in-law washed their faces with tears all day long, especially the daughter-in-law, her crying eyes were almost blind, and my inner health was getting worse and worse, if it wasn't for the little lady who saved my granddaughter, I'm afraid our family would be ruined in a short time." β
As he spoke, the old bull head burst into tears, wiped his face, wiped his hands on his body, and then took off the back basket and gently rested on the ground by the window, for fear of soiling the felt on the ground, so he lifted the cover on the back basket, took out a leather from it, and said solemnly, "My old man has no other skills, this is a white tiger skin left behind by hunting in my early years, and our village family doesn't need such a good thing, and please ask the little lady to accept itββ"
Mu Qingyun couldn't laugh or cry.
This white tiger skin is really good, there is not a single variegated color, especially the white tiger, it can be auspicious, very rare, and quite precious, but she is really not so shameless, people's families are not rich, and they still accept such things from others.
Mu Qingyun thought about it and asked some details about the Niu family.
There are three villages around Roaring Spring Mountain, Dahe Village, Xiaohe Village, and Baokou Village, in addition to farming, the three villages also rely on Roaring Spring Mountain to live.
Over the years, the mountains have been built palaces, and there are rich and noble people enclosing land to build Zhuangzi, and then it becomes a little difficult to go up the mountain to chop firewood and hunt, the three villages have been somewhat affected, and they have become more and more poor.
Their family used to have seven acres of land, but then they encountered a lot of things, and sold a lot of them one after another, and now there are still four acres left, but now the family is not very many, these lands have paid grain and taxes, and what is left is barely enough for the family to chew.
The old cow head is still a very capable hunter, and he went up to the mountains to hunt game and sell it for some money and grain on weekdays.
In the past two years, since the granddaughter let the unlucky son of Steward Li, Li Pimple, be hired back, the days have become more and more sad, the old cow's wife is seriously ill, just taking medicine, she has eaten up all the family resources, it is the old lady who would rather die than sell the land, that is really a kitchen knife against the neck, so she did not sell a few acres of land.
To this day, the old lady is still next to each other, refusing to close her eyes, but she is just thinking about Niu Xiaolan in her heart and holding on.
On the day when Mu Qingyun asked Niu Xiaolan to be sent back, he specially asked Xia He to invite a doctor.
The doctor is a very famous local doctor, and he doesn't dare to talk about resurrection, but the golden sign of rejuvenation is a golden sign of rejuvenation, which is exchanged for decades of medical practice, and there is no water at all, fortunately he followed to the old man's house, otherwise the family may have to die two.
As soon as Niu Xiaolan went home, the old lady saw her granddaughter, her wish was fulfilled, she didn't come out in one breath, and almost died, Niu Xiaolan and her mother cried even more, and her eyes rolled white.
Mu Qingyun thought about it, and didn't shirk this tiger skin, but said solemnly: "For me, earning merit is a very important thing, if I want this tiger skin for nothing, it will break my merit." β
The old man Niu was stunned.
Mu Qingyun laughed: "That's it, give me a discount according to the market price, such a tiger skin is in the capital, one hundred and fifty taels is always wanted, after all, it is a scarce white tiger skin, and the scarcity is expensive, so I will take one hundred and twenty taels to buy it." β
The old man suddenly turned red, and he didn't say anything.
He felt in his heart that he should not ask for money, but when the noble man talked about merit, he could not understand it, and he did not dare to say anything more, so he took one hundred and twenty taels of silver in a daze, and by the way, sent his son, daughter-in-law and little granddaughter to the noble man's village to work.
Mu Qingyun has been idle in Zhuangzi for a few days, but he has a clear understanding of the situation of the entire Zhuangzi.
Because of the hot springs, Zhuangzi planted a lot of flowers, peony is the main variety, can bloom all year round, make a lot of money.
In addition to the dealer, Zhuangzi also grows all kinds of vegetables, don't look at Steward Li every year to say that the harvest is poor, that there is a disaster, that the grain and vegetables are not grown, but in fact, he is very keen on money, and the means of digging money are also diverse, these years, they can be described as making a lot of money.
Mu Qingyun read the account book and decided to be a little lazy, these things that were originally planted in Zhuangzi still continued to be planted, and she bought rice, wheat, corn and sweet potato seeds from the system mall.
She experienced a copy of this time, and she was able to directly pick up the wool of the system, Mu Qingyun definitely couldn't give up, she was a college student in the new era who was good in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, and when she came to such an era, could she not seize the opportunity to help the poor?
Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, food is the first, if the people can eat their stomachs, she will have immeasurable merit.
The good seeds bought in the mall are all improved, all of them are not ordinary, like the rice she bought, a large part of it is super rice, and the yield per mu is about 1,600 catties, of course, it has to be carefully served.
As for the yield of sweet potatoes, it is even higher, and the yield per mu is at least more than 3,000 catties.
In addition to these, Mu Qingyun also took out a part of the rice with a very low yield, and said in the mall that this is called pearl rice, with a maximum yield of more than 150 catties per mu, and a piece of land must be planted for a year and raised for a year, although the yield is low, but the nutritional value of this crystal rice is surprisingly high, and the taste is also amazingly good.
Mu Qingyun was very curious when he saw the introduction, in addition to the seeds, he also bought two catties from the mall and directly let the kitchen steam them.
She didn't think at all that while she was doing good deeds for the people, she couldn't also satisfy her appetite?
As soon as the rice was bought, it was sent directly to the kitchen, when the pearl rice was not steamed, it looked a little unsightly, the rice was not big, the ash was fluttering, and it could not be lined with its name at all, and the cook in the Zhuangzi did not take it seriously at all, and went directly to the pot.
After about a quarter of an hour, a rich aroma quietly seeped out of the tightly closed wooden lid and flew outward.
There are people in the kitchen, even the cook, who has never missed a mouth, can't help but glance in the direction of the steamed rice frequently, saliva gurgling and secreting, and the stomach is also like turning over the river and the sea, which is called scratching the heart and scratching the liver.
