Chapter 4 Mung bean sprouts
Just thinking about it, the broken house was in front of her, Xia Yingying took out five sweet potatoes and said, "Let's eat this tonight......"
"What's this?" Xia Mu looked at Xia Yingying in confusion.
"Isn't this a sweet potato? We don't have anyone to eat here? ”
Xia Mu shook her head and said, "No one eats this, why don't we eat it?" I'm afraid this thing is poisonous......"
Xia Yingying had seen sweet potatoes in books, saying that it was a kind of food in Fanbangguo, but she didn't expect that no one planted them here, she thought for a while and said, "Mother, let's plant sweet potatoes in the yard!" It's a good thing, and the yield is very high, so I managed to get it. ”
"This ...... Mother listens to you, Yingying, you also know that the people in our family are not educated, what are you talking about......" Xia Mu took Xia Yingying's hand and said.
To tell the truth, Xia Yingying doesn't know how to farm, she is a pampered daughter, where do you know this, but isn't there a mall?
She buried her mind in the mall, looked at Xiaoyin and asked, "Do you know how to grow sweet potatoes?" ”
Xiaoyin Machinery replied: "The method of planting sweet potatoes is very simple, cut the mature sweet potatoes in half, and then plant the cut sweet potatoes into the sandy soil to maintain the moisture of the sandy soil, and the sweet potatoes will grow seedlings in the sandy soil in 15~30 days." ”
"It's that simple?"
Xiaoyin stopped talking, and Xia Yingying didn't care about him anymore, and directly planted it in the yard according to the method he said, and didn't know if he could grow sweet potatoes.
Soon, the younger brothers came back in frustration, and they didn't sell a bundle of firewood all day, and they were strangled with bruises and purple on their backs.
Lao Wu aggrievedly tears and snot came out: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death in winter, what can we do!" It's all Xia Youyou's harmful ...... Woowoo woo ......"
Xia Yingying looked at the 9-year-old Lao Wu and sighed, when she saw this family in her previous life, she thought of fleeing, and then these people never appeared again, and she didn't know what their ending was in her previous life.
But since she is here, she wants to change the fate of this family, and her fate is closely related to the fate of this family.
In this world, only if the brothers in the family live well, women will have status, and studying is the only way out.
Xia Yingying suddenly said: "I have read the Four Books and the Five Classics, are you willing to read with me?" ”
When the fourth brother heard Xia Yingying's words, his eyes were shining, but he seemed to think of something again: "It is difficult for our family to survive now, studying...... I'm afraid we don't have time, and our books are all sold out. ”
The fourth brother's eyes were slightly red, and he turned his head to wipe his tears.
Xia Yingying patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, let's take our time, but from tomorrow onwards, you have to listen to me, I ask you to help me dig something, you have to help me, how about it?" ”
The fourth brother nodded heavily and said, "Yes." ”
Xia Yingying smiled: "Then I'll do the embroidery first......
After saying that, she turned around and went into the back room, she took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, and planned to embroider a handkerchief, to see how much it could be sold for in the mall?
She embroiders very fast, her embroidery work is notoriously good, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her title of the first talented woman in the capital is not for nothing.
When it was completely dark, her embroidery work was also good, and she put the embroidery work into the mall and said, "Xiaoyin, can you help me take a look at this?" ”
Xiaoyin Machinery replied: "A handkerchief, this embroidery is good, the recovery price is ten yuan, unlock the secondary mall, and you can exchange for mung beans." ”
Xia Yingying was stunned, mung bean soup, mung bean sprouts, mung bean soup ......
Her mind is full of these things, her cooking skills are also very good, she can do them, she once sent mung bean sprouts, this is a good way to make money.
Her eyes lit up, ten yuan can buy two catties of mung beans, and the price of two catties of mung beans is twelve yuan, which is about the same as the current price.
But if you make mung bean sprouts, one pound can send more than ten catties of mung bean sprouts, and two catties of mung beans can send more than 20 catties of mung bean sprouts.
A pound of mung bean sprouts costs 3 yuan, and you can also earn more than 60 yuan.
When I woke up the next day, the family was gone, the two elder brothers went to the town to do odd jobs, the younger brothers went to collect firewood, and the summer mother went to farm the family's only two acres of land.
Xia Yingying put the mung bean sprouts in the bamboo basket, and put a wooden basin below, these mung bean sprouts are not broken, it seems that this mall has also carefully selected them for her, and it has saved her a lot of trouble.
Mung bean sprouts need to be soaked for 4 hours, and after soaking, the lower layer of gauze is cushioned, and it is OK, but unfortunately there is no gauze at home, and in the end only a handkerchief can be used.
After doing this, she took the sickle and went to the back mountain, where her younger brothers usually collected firewood.
There are many medicinal materials here in addition to dandelions, but unfortunately Xia Yingying doesn't know it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know it, she has Xiaoyin!
She picked a piece of grass and said, "Xiaoyin, do you collect this kind of grass?" ”
Xiaoyin replied mechanically: "Wormwood, naturally, it is harvested." ”
"Is this grass harvested?" Xia Yingying couldn't help but be a little excited.
"It's plantain, and it's harvested."
Xia Yingying's eyes widened, this mall shouldn't be stupid, right? She picked up wild grasses, which could be identified as medicinal herbs.
And every kind of Xiaoyin can be named and used, the corners of Xia Yingying's mouth are slightly upturned, if Xiaoyin is correct, then isn't she really studying Chinese medicine?
In fact, the status of a doctor is not high, but it is not high, it is also useful, and it just so happens that Xia Yingying is interested in studying medicine.
Her memory is really good, so she can remember most of the things she learns once.
And when she asked Xiaoyin, Xiaoyin would answer mechanically, and now she wasn't sure what Xiaoyin was, but it was really useful to her.
In the morning, she picked out more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs, exchanged them for four yuan of sweet potatoes, and went home slowly.
As soon as I got home, I saw that several younger brothers had also come back, and picked three baskets of dandelions, Xia Yingying said: "It's hard work, let's eat sweet potato soup at noon, and then mix dandelions cold!" ”
After Xia Yingying blanched the dandelion, she mixed it cold, only to find that there was no salt at home, ouch! How can this family be so poor?
At noon, one person ate a big bowl of sweet potato soup, and each person divided a few pieces of sweet potatoes, and the broken porcelain bowl was licked cleanly.
The sixth brother smashed his mouth, and suddenly smiled at Xia Yingying: "Sister, the soup you cooked is really delicious, I really like you, since you went back home, I can eat enough every day, and I don't have to go hungry anymore." ”
The seven-year-old sixth brother patted his stomach and looked at Xia Yingying with a flattering face.
Thin as a monkey, Xia Yingying touched his head and said, "Sister won't let you starve, can I teach you to write?" ”
The fourth brother picked up the bowl, rinsed it with water, and hurriedly ran over, Xia Yingying took a willow branch and said: "I will teach you the first sentence of the three-character scripture today, at the beginning of people, nature is good and ......."
