Chapter 126: Stealing Eggs
The next day, Xia and July got up early in the morning, bought steamed buns directly from the space, and did not cook porridge, poured out a basin of milk.
She didn't let the porridge be cooked in a pot in order to boil the syrup, and when the six people came, the syrup was all boiled, and there was a large basin of white and chubby steamed buns, a large basin of milk, eggs and small pickles on the table.
Everyone ate and drank together along the way, and they were used to it for a long time, so they didn't need to be said, they took the dishes and chopsticks and sat down.
"Is this cow's milk, fourth sister-in-law?" An Youde asked, But there was already an answer, he was just curious about how he could have so much milk.
Because of the scarcity of cattle, there are few cattle raisers in the village, and there is no one to raise them after the drought, so I haven't drunk cow's milk for a long time.
"Well, I bought it from outside! Hurry up and eat, you two are going to make candy! Xia Qiyue filled herself with a bowl of milk and soaked the steamed buns in milk to eat.
Hot steamed buns meet cold milk, and the temperature is just right to eat.
The milk bought in the space is not raw milk, so Xia Qiyue didn't cook it, and it was just right to eat it with hot steamed buns.
However, An Zihao would rather only eat pickles than drink milk, saying that it smells fishy, and he is unwilling.
Xia Jiu saw it and hurriedly persuaded, "How much to drink!" This is very nourishing for the body! ”
Xia Qiyue looked up at her sister in shock, usually my sister doesn't communicate much with the six guys, and after finishing her own work, she will quietly go back to the house to see the children, but today is a bit abnormal.
"September girl, can this milk really replenish the body?" An Youde chatted with Xia Jiujiu a lot.
"Hmm!" Xia Jiujiu only nodded in response to eat his own on the spot, and stopped talking.
An Zihao picked up the bowl and filled himself with a bowl of milk to drink.
Xia Qiyue couldn't understand why these people were so strange, but she didn't have time to care so much, after eating a steamed bun and a bowl of milk, and eating a boiled egg, she wiped her mouth and got up and went back to the room.
The others are also fast eaters, but looking at the appearance of several young men each making two steamed buns and dividing two eggs each, Xia Jiu waited to close the table, and looked panicked for them.
found that Ryoko secretly put two eggs into his sleeve pocket and did not eat them.
Xia Jiujiu didn't poke it, firstly, she was embarrassed, and secondly, everyone was divided into two, and she didn't have to care if he didn't eat his own share.
Everyone else has eaten it, and An Sijin is even more profitable, he doesn't want to cause so much trouble anymore, so it is better to eat it in his stomach.
Although An Youde has a big-bellied sister-in-law at home, he didn't stay, his uncle and sister-in-law should have paid attention to proportion, and his sister-in-law is not someone he should care about.
He pays his family every month, and that's enough. After returning to the room in the summer and July, he planted another crop of rice. Soon out of the space, came out with two hens in their hands, but alive.
The matter of live chickens was brought up from her space, and no one saw it anyway, so she went out for a spin and came back saying that she had bought it from the market.
After everyone finished breakfast, Xia Qiyue took An Youde and An Zihao into the kitchen and started making halva.
Fortunately, there are still fifty catties of peanuts left from the last crush, this time it is enough, Xia Qiyue let Anton and An Liang continue to peel peanuts, let An Sijin and An Cheng crush the peeled peanuts, and let his younger brother Xia Xinghe kill chickens.
Eat chicken stewed potatoes at night, and eat some stewed vegetables and drink some hot soup in the winter to warm your body.
In fact, it is more profitable for women to do such a job as peeling peanuts, but Xia Qiyue doesn't need so many people, and I also appreciate the character of these people, so I use it like this.
The three of them were just about to start pulling sugar, and Xia Jiujiu hurriedly sent the gloves he had made.
"I just wanted to ask if you're done! That's great! Xia Qiyue took the gloves, and then took care of himself, "You also follow my example to wear them to prevent your hands from burning!" ”
Let An Youde, An Zihao and the others also hurry up and put on gloves.
Xia Jiujiu handed over the gloves made for the two of them, and then said to Xia Qiyue, "Sister, then I'll go back to the house." ”
Kerr was still waiting to play with her.
After the three of them got the gloves, they didn't need to blow their hands for a while, and the movements were faster.
Make 100 catties of halva every time, this amount is their current speed, because peeling peanuts is only about 50 catties a day, and more can't be peeled, and pulling sugar is very tiring, Xia Qiyue doesn't want to embarrass himself too much.
After all, one hundred catties of halva and four hundred taels of silver are enough for her not to be greedy.
When the three of them came out after making 100 catties of halva, their arms were a little sore, and An Cheng and An Sijin also happened to crush the peanuts.
Xia Qiyue took out the milk bottle that she had dried, and everyone sat around and began to fill the sugar.
Xia Qiyue handed over the task of loading sugar to them, went back to the house to dress up and put on makeup, and quietly went out.
She wants to see how the halva is selling and how Li Ji's business is today.
But she had to dress up in disguise, so that the fat shopkeeper couldn't recognize her, and she had to go over quietly to take a look.
At this time, it was the warmest time of the day, Li Ji was like a city, and the guests were like clouds, and Xia Qiyue followed the flow of people into the shop.
Seeing that everyone had a halva in their hands, she was a little curious and walked to the halva counter.
But there are people guarding next to him, and a customer can only buy one copy, and it is sold in bundles, and he has to buy other products for two taels of silver to buy a bottle of halva.
Many of them came with companions, but they could only buy one copy for each person.
The fat shopkeeper has been walking around the shop, but Xia Qiyue has made a change, and he doesn't recognize it.
Xia Qiyue looked at the smiling face on the fat shopkeeper's face, and knew that the business of halva was easy to do.
She didn't go to buy halva, but bought a pound of candied peaches and went home.
Xia Xinghe is killing chickens and cleaning up, only a ten-year-old child, but he can do anything, Xia Qiyue knows that his younger brothers and sisters do all kinds of work when they are at home, and they have practiced their skills.
"Sister, are you back?" Xia Xinghe looked at Xia Qiyue, who didn't look like usual at all, but he recognized it at a glance and said hello.
"Well, I'll help you!" Xia Qiyue stepped forward to help, but was avoided by Xia Xinghe.
"Don't be the eldest sister, this is buried, you better go and help the second sister!"
Xia Qiyue was not reluctant, she suddenly remembered that there was something else, the grain was piled up on the ground, and she had to buy a sack to hold it.
I ran back to my room to change my clothes, took off the makeup on my face and went out to buy a sack and came back.
The grocery store was not very far from their house, and it was soon there, and Xia Qiyue bought a hundred hundred-pound sacks in one go, and it only cost a hundred silver.
The sack is very cheap, the quality is also very good, there is a lot of work done on this day, all the halva is packed, and the remaining more than 50 catties of peanuts are almost peeled.
The dinner is still sumptuous, with white rice accompanied by chicken stewed potatoes and a small stir-fried cabbage, which is particularly refreshing and delicious.
Xia Jiujiu glanced at the two eggs in Liangzi's sleeve pocket, she thought that this kid would be hungry for lunch, didn't it?
