Chapter Twenty-Eight: Into the City to Buy Food
"Second brother, I see that you usually like to cook, so I went into the city to buy you a recipe. The second brother is not literate, so he can study the recipe if he has nothing to do. Cooking skills will also be taken to the next level. Gu Xia stuffed the recipe into Jianghu's hands.
The second brother quickly learned to cook, and she didn't have to go around the stove.
Jianghu happily accepted the recipe given by his sister-in-law and treated him like a baby.
He also loves to cook. My sister-in-law is so good to him.
"Mother, I bought a few pieces of cloth to make new clothes for you and your younger brothers. My mother has the time to find two women who are embroidered in the village to come and measure the size, and I will make the money for the clothes. Gu Xia proposed.
She is a modern soul, she can't do embroidery, she has to make tofu brains or something, and she doesn't have the leisure time.
"What are you doing with all that unjust money? My mother will make ready-to-wear clothes, and my mother is almost idle all day, just looking for something to do to pass the time. Mother Jiang took the initiative to take this job.
Before she left the cabinet, the female celebrity was a well-known talented woman in the capital.
It's just a matter of making a few ready-to-wear suits.
Gu Xia saw her mother-in-law's insistence, and saw that the stomach pain was also cured, and she was very energetic, so she let her.
Jiang's mother asked her second son to move all the things into the house, and she held her daughter-in-law's hand very affectionately, "Xiao Xia, has you had lunch in the city?" ”
"Not yet." Gu Xia said truthfully, her stomach was not bent at all, she was hungry at the point, and she couldn't eat less.
"I'm tired of going to the city, go into the house and lie down for a while, and my mother will cook you two eggs to eat." After Jiang's mother finished speaking, she didn't wait for her daughter-in-law to agree, and turned around to boil boiled eggs.
The main thing is that she can't do anything else, and it's good that eggs can be cooked.
At noon, they ate the porridge of wild vegetables cooked by the second son, and the salt was as if they didn't need money.
A small half bowl of porridge was mixed with a large half bowl of water, and it was barely enough to drink a bowl.
Her mother-in-law is good to her, and her heart is warm. The original owner was weak, and she was indeed tired, so she went back to the house and slept until her mother-in-law boiled eggs and brought them to the house.
"Mother, I overslept." Gu Xia was a little embarrassed, and didn't want to leave an impression on her mother-in-law that she was lazy.
"What's this? Xiao Xia doesn't have to be restrained in our house in the future, you can eat when you want, sleep when you want, and no one will say that you are not. Mother Jiang put the freshly boiled eggs on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Gu Xia's eyes were red when he was moved, most of the people in the village couldn't eat enough, this egg was a good thing. They all kept and sold the money for coarse grains, and the mother-in-law was willing to cook it for her, and it was two of them when she cooked it. I'm afraid that the two little milk babies in the family don't have this treatment.
"Mother, I'm not too hungry, one egg is enough to eat, and you can take one more to the two little ones to eat, they are still young when they grow their bodies, and they need more nutrients." Gu Xia really didn't want to eat alone.
"This is specially cooked for you by my mother, obedient, I ate it all." Jiang's mother was full of sincerity. She didn't stay long after she finished speaking, because she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would stay in the house and be embarrassed to eat.
Gu Xia finished peeling the skin and broke the egg in half.
Hey! It's still soft-hearted eggs, she thinks the egg yolk is too choked, so she eats soft-hearted eggs.
My mother-in-law actually knew her tastes.
That's great, isn't it?
Gu Xia solved two eggs in less than two minutes, she had a lot of food, and for her, these two eggs were only enough to slip through the cracks.
Ay! It is still necessary to make a lot of money, so that a large family can realize the freedom to eat eggs.
Jiang Yi is not idle here, and he has to wait until dark to pull grain home, and it will take three hours.
He couldn't afford to waste such time, so he went around the docks and found a job to fight against sacks. From the dock to a sack to a merchant ship, you can earn three copper plates.
He has a strong body and has been practicing martial arts all year round, so it is not too easy for him to resist a sack. It's a good money.
The sack is full, one has to weigh more than 100 catties, Jiang Yi is one person on top of three, and the anti-sack is like playing. The men who were doing coolies around me were stunned.
In the end, the foreman who settled the wages knew that Jiang Yi had carried a hundred bags by himself, and everyone was stupid.
Jiang Yi got three hundred copper plates, a large string. The condensed complexion became warm, and he could use the money to buy red dates and brown sugar for the lady.
"Little brother, you are a strong man. I guessed right, it's a martial arts practitioner. The anti-sack is succumbing, my eldest brother is a dart game, are you interested in following the dart, I can help you introduce. Earn several times more than carrying a sack. The foreman raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yi.
He is a man who cherishes talents, and is willing to give the young man in front of him a chance.
If this was placed before marrying, Jiang Yi would definitely respond. Now that he is married, he can't call the shots.
"Thank you big brother, I'll go back and discuss with my wife. My lady agreed that I should go dart, and tomorrow I will come to the dock to find my eldest brother. Jiang Yi replied.
To be honest, he was a little tempted and didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to make money.
The house at home is dilapidated, and even if it is renovated before getting married, it won't last long. I have to live for another two years.
He had to earn more money to build a new house as soon as possible.
He is a man, and he has to make a good life for his wife.
All the money Jiang Yi made from the sack was used to buy brown sugar and red dates for Gu Xia.
When it got dark, he went to the grain store, and Gu Xia's pawnshop bought all the ten taels of silver.
I bought more than 20 bags of brown rice, one bag is one stone, and I also bought more than 10 bags of polished rice. I bought more than 10 bags of white noodles and rough noodles each.
I bought two big bags of soybeans and five or six bags of yellow millet.
Jiang Yi is not a lazy person, he helps the guys in the grain shop to fight the grain on the ox cart.
The shopkeeper of the grain store was optimistic about Jiang Yi's strength at once, and one person topped two. People are still diligent, and they don't look like the kind of cheaters and tricks.
He just likes guys like that.
Jiang Yi bought a lot of grain, a whole ox cart, full of it. The man drove the ox cart to help him deliver it to his doorstep.
"Little brother, I fancy your strength, consider staying in my grain store as a buddy. I'm here for food and lodging. The shopkeeper leaned over and asked.
Jiang Yizhi is not here, the guy can't make a lot of money, not to mention the miscellaneous work, the hours are long, from morning to night, I'm afraid I don't want to live in the grain store.
In this way, he can't go home and sleep with his mother, it's too cost-effective.
"Thank you for your kindness. I didn't plan to be a shopkeeper for the grain store. Jiang Yi refused.
"Otherwise, I'll give you a more salary increase, and other guys will have four dollars a month, and I'll give you six dollars, don't tell others." The shopkeeper pulled Jiang Yi to the corner and continued to keep him.
"It's not about wages, I don't really like this job." Jiang Yi simply refused.
The shopkeeper saw that he was not moved at all, and he was not at all inclined to say anything. It's just a pity. It's hard to see one so powerful.
When it got dark, everyone in the village fell asleep, and Jiang Yi's ox cart pulling grain back to the village was not seen by the villagers all the way.
The ox cart pulling grain entered the hospital, and the Jiang family ran out to see the movement when they heard the movement, and they were more and more excited to see such a large cart of grain by moonlight.
With such a large cart of grain, I am afraid that I will not be hungry for most of the year.
