23. Boiled dishes with rice and salt
When the village chief and the others came back with the wooden cart, looking at the things loaded on the cart, the villagers who had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time were excited.
The village chief really came back from shopping! Does this mean that those herbs were really sold?
The villagers followed behind the wooden cart, a large group of people entered the village in a mighty way, and a group of children were jumping and running and making trouble, everyone's faces were no longer sad, and the bright smiles were the most real feelings they had about coming back from selling medicinal herbs this time.
It's a bit of a way to live.
When I arrived in the village, the village chief didn't grind, and directly divided the things that each family had said to buy before, and at the end of the day, he didn't forget to tell the villagers to remember Yue Jiujiu's kindness.
"This time, every household in our village can get so much money, but thanks to the third sister-in-law, you have to remember that this idea of making money was thought up by the third sister-in-law, if it weren't for the third sister-in-law dedicated to our village and our Lin family, she could have earned these two or three dollars of silver by herself."
"Remember, remember! We all remember her three aunts well! ”
"Yes, we will all remember the good of her third cousin-in-law, she gave us this way to live!"
"It's not easy for her third aunt these years, just like that, she is still worried about our village, and we will help their family more in the future!"
"Yes! In the future, I will have to help her three mothers! ”
……
The villagers spoke passionately, and Yue Jiujiu, who was wandering around the mountains to get grass for rabbits to eat, didn't know that the things that the village chief bought couldn't run, so how could it be important to come out and pick up money.
(︶.̮︶✽)
At night, Lin Chaonan flew all the way back.
"Mother! Today, Dr. Li taught us to concoct a vision, and I have learned! ”
Lin Chaonan was sweating profusely, wiped it with his sleeve casually, and then urged Yue Jiujiu to go with him to the patriarch's house to talk about it.
"Mother, let's hurry up and go to the patriarch's grandfather's house, otherwise the grandfather and they should sleep in a while."
I was so anxious that I didn't even have time to eat, and I didn't notice that there was a rare meal on the table.
"Let's go with Brother Kai."
She's going to eat.
Lin Chaonan didn't ask his eldest brother if he wanted to, he pulled Lin Chaodong and ran out, Lin Chaobei didn't know what to think, and ran with him.
"Alas! I haven't eaten yet! ”
Liu shouted at the back of the brothers, who had already run away and couldn't hear them.
"Okay, I'll leave the food for his brothers, let's eat first."
It's rare to see rice porridge once, even if this rice is old rice, even if there are still crushed wild vegetables in the porridge, and there are not a few grains of rice, Yue Jiujiu is still faintly fragrant with rice, and swallows saliva greedily.
Not only her, but I don't know that their family is like this, but the whole village is like this.
Today, the medicinal herbs were sold for money, because the village chief was pushing a wooden cart, and they were sure that they could sell it for money, so they all asked the village chief to help buy grain and salt, and the first two years of old rice was only seven or eight wen a catty, but now it has risen to twenty wen a catty, and the price of salt has also risen, from one hundred and twenty wen to two hundred.
It is okay for people not to eat food, because there are wild herbs to satisfy their hunger. But if you don't eat salt, you will be tired, and then it will be wasted.
Therefore, most families chose to buy salt, only Yue Jiujiu's family asked for a pound of old rice, and added eleven yuan to buy three taels of salt.
Don't ask her where she got the copper plate, it's the rat hole that she asked!
