Chapter 2: Refined salt refining, locust skewers

Xu Zhengming put down the cruel words and left.

In the courtyard, the two husbands and wives stood opposite each other.

"Poetry. You listen to me. ”

Mu Shaoyou wanted to reach out and pull Li Shishi, but Li Shishi took a step back to dodge.

Li Shishi wiped her tears and said softly: "Husband, you should be hungry after sleeping for a day, right?" I'll go cook for you first. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mu Shaoyou to answer, Li Shishi walked towards the kitchen.

"Mu Shaoyou, Mu Shaoyou, you don't favor such a good daughter-in-law, you really deserve to die."

Mu Shaoyou scolded the original body a hundred times in his heart, but now he can only accept the reality.

One hundred taels of silver, now his identity is just a child of a poor family, Li Shishi's family is now powerful, but because the original body was too loser, now the people of the Li family can be said to fight once they see themselves, counting on letting Li Shishi go back to borrow money, if you know that you bet to lose the daughter-in-law to borrow money, then this marriage will definitely be yellow, maybe you will be beaten half-dead.

Mujia Village is just an ordinary mountain village, it can be said that the surrounding neighbors basically rely on farming for a living, occasionally a few hard-working people may be able to go into the mountains to dig some herbs and mushrooms to go to the county town to catch up and sell for money, but it is just a subsidy for life, one hundred taels of silver, which is a large number that can force people to death.

In his previous life, he was a doctor of mechanical engineering automation, and with his knowledge, as long as he was given time, it might be a bit nonsense to say that he rubbed the aircraft carrier by hand, but it was definitely no problem to make a fortune by this.

A loud "clang" sound came from the kitchen, interrupting Mu Shaoyou's thoughts, and when he rushed to the kitchen, Mu Shaoyou was stunned.

Li Shishi kicked down the stool and hanged herself in the kitchen!

Mu Shaoyou hurriedly rushed forward and hugged Li Shishi, Li Shishi leaned on Mu Shaoyou's arms, coughing and crying.

Mu Shaoyou understood that this was a heartbreak for his daughter-in-law.

"Shishi, I drank too much yesterday, that's why I did such a bastard thing, but you believe me, I'll find a way to make this one hundred taels of silver, and I will definitely make you happy in the future."

"What can you do, that's a hundred taels of silver, not a hundred copper plates."

Li Shishi sobbed and said: "Forget it, since God won't let me die, then I can only help you solve this trouble, there is a small cloth bag on the beam of our bedroom, which is a relic left to me by my mother, it can be sold for forty taels, I will go home and beg my father and my brother later, how can I make up this hundred taels." ”

Mu Shaoyou didn't expect that at this time, Li Shishi would choose to be in the same boat with him, her mother's relics had to be used twice before, Li Shishi was beaten to the point that her head was broken and she didn't hand it over, and she couldn't imagine that she would take it out like this in order to pay off his debts.

"That's the last thing your mother left you, and you just took it out?"

"What can I do?"

Li Shishi choked up and said: "Not to mention that if you don't give it, Xu Zhengming will ruin your reputation outside, what should you do if you have been studying hard all these years?" And if he goes to the yamen to sue you, either he will take me away or let you sell yourself into slavery, what choice will I have? ”

"Don't worry, you don't need to borrow money, and you don't need to sell your mother's relics, I'll figure out a way for this hundred taels."

Mu Shaoyou hugged Li Shishi hard.

"Husband, what can you do?"

I have the impression that my husband has never spoken to her in this tone, Li Shishi looked up at her husband, and felt as if he was a different person.

"Let's fill our stomachs first, and then we can figure out a way when we are full."

Mu Shaoyou helped Li Shishi up, this girl has a standard melon seed face, but her hair color is a little yellow, and her cheeks are also thin and a little sunken, which is obviously long-term malnutrition.

"But husband, there is only these brown rice at home now, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go see if there are pickles in the fourth aunt's house."

Li Shishi pointed to the small crockpot in the corner, which contained only a thin jar of brown rice at the bottom.

"It's okay, I'll let you eat a good meal of meat today."

Mu Shaoyou helped Li Shishi to sit down, according to the memory of the original body, Mujia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a stream under the mountain around the west side.

In the open space of Xishan, Mu Shaoyou used a little brown rice and a bamboo basket to make a simple bird catching device, and at the same time laid a net in the downstream of the stream, because he had no fishing experience in his previous life, so Mu Shaoyou could only use the stupidest way to fish, and now the first task is to look at the bird cage, and after catching the bird, come back to see how many fish can enter the net.

Passing by the crop field, Mu Shaoyou found that the grasshoppers in the crop field were infested, and it was densely packed with grasshoppers, and after a short period of stunned, Mu Shaoyou's eyes lit up, didn't this fucking delicious food come?

Mu Shaoyou didn't care about looking at the birdcage, so he immediately took off his coat as a pocket and filled it with a full of grasshoppers.

"Hey, isn't that Mu Tongsheng? How to catch grasshoppers there. ”

"It must be that the family is running out of food again, it can't be that you are hungry and crazy to eat this thing, right? Yesterday, I heard that in order to go to the Yuanwai Mansion for a banquet, he took all the money from his family to buy a worship post, this loser, didn't the one named Xu Zhengming go to his house today? said that he bet that he would export all his wives and create evil. ”

Some of the women who were driving grasshoppers in the field saw Mu Shaoyou catching grasshoppers, and they all whispered about them.

Mu Shaoyou didn't argue with them, after all, this thing can only be made by the craftsmanship of later generations, and with the current knowledge of these people, this thing is just a pest that spoils the crops.

Loaded a bag of grasshoppers, looked back at the birdcage, sure enough, there was no bird, fortunately there were three small fish caught in the fishing net, Mu Shaoyou carried the grasshopper and the small fish home, sitting on the kitchen stool panting.

There's no way, the original body is a nerd who admits death to read, and he can't breathe after two movements.

"Husband, are you back? Yes! It's a grasshopper, how did you bring this thing home? ”

Li Shishi looked at the bag of grasshoppers, and suddenly covered her mouth in fright.

"Shishi, watch me cook you something delicious."

Mu Shaoyou took out a stone slab, ignited the stove pit on the side, put the slate on it and heated it, and then took out four seasoning jars at home, which were lard, dogwood powder, coarse salt and soy sauce.

The coarse salt is not purified, it is the kind of coarse large particles, because it contains minerals, so it feels a little strange to eat.

And Mu Shaoyou searched the memory of the original body and found that there seemed to be no such product as chili pepper here, but dogwood powder could have a similar effect.

While Mu Shaoyou was heating the slate, he poured water into the pot on the side, and then poured all the coarse salt into it, Li Shishi on the side was dumbfounded, not knowing what Mu Shaoyou was going to do.

In about half an hour, the slate burned red, and Mu Shaoyou had already successfully purified the coarse salt, and then, he scooped out a spoonful of lard with a spoon and put it on the red-hot slate, and at first touch, it crackled.

Then Mu Shaoyou put the grasshopper on it, and then sprinkled it with fine salt and dogwood powder, and a rich fragrance suddenly diffused.

After a few minutes, the grasshopper had been roasted to golden brown and crispy, Mu Shaoyou picked up a string with a smile and handed it to Li Shishi.

"Come, Shishi, try this grasshopper skewer, I'm sure you've eaten one skewer, and you want to eat ten."
