Xiang Xi touched his chin, "It's very likely, you have to try it to know, if you fail, the most you can do is waste a few eggs and some firewood, but if you succeed, you can bring some income to the family." ”

"Yes, but I don't know how to do it, Xiaoxi, you are bold and dare to try."

"Xiaoxi, tell me when you try it out, I'll come and see the chicks then." said to Xiang Xi's little daughter-in-law, who was about the same age.

Xiang Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Most of the villagers found it impossible.

However, based on Xiang Xi's kindness to tell everyone how to make fish balls, which has benefited every household and brought a lot of income, everyone is full of kindness to her.

Even if I thought it was impossible, I didn't say anything disgusting.

Children, in particular, think this is a rarity.

Uncle Gao's five-year-old Chunliu, the third uncle's seven-year-old Hanyu, and the three-year-old sprouts of Aunt Wu's little granddaughter next door, several little girls were very curious, seeing that Xiang Xi did not rush people, they all took the initiative to come over to help, build a nest with cotton cloth, and then guard the firewood next to them, much more diligent than Xiang Xi.

Xiang Xi went to the kitchen and came back, and the three children were obediently and skillfully.

"Aren't you hungry? Let's have some cakes. ”

Han Yu felt the greatest, and took on the responsibility of being a sister, seeing that it was a pastry made of white flour, her mouth was full of greed, her head shook faster than anything else, and she took two steps back, "Aunt Xiaoxi, we can't ask for it, this cake is too valuable." ”

"It's good that you don't dislike us watching chicks be born here."

The eight-year-old girl is already very sensible.

Xiang Xi only thought it was cute.

Her eyes were crooked, and she had her own set of crooked reasoning, "I didn't invite you to eat for nothing." ”

"This is a steamed cake to be sold in my shop, no customers have tasted it, and I don't know if it can be sold, you can try it, it is delicious and give me feedback, it is to help me, this pastry is to return to you."

Hanyu was a little entangled, "Is this really the case?" ”

"Of course."

"Then, then I'll try it with my sisters, just eat a little, and definitely not waste it."

Hanyu said that it was a little bit, the size of a fingernail, and it was enough to taste it, and he also fed the spring willows and sprouts first.

Three children finish tasting pastries.

I don't want to be greedy.

On the contrary, I was embarrassed to get up, so I insisted on doing things for her to see the nest of the hatching chickens, and I stayed there and didn't leave all day.

When it was time to eat, they went back to their respective homes, and they didn't forget to say to Xiang Xi before leaving.

Xiang Xi felt that those children were really a model of children from poor families who were in charge early.

I told my mother about it in the evening.

"Mother, I'll prepare some sugar water for the children tomorrow, and I can't let them work in vain."

"Okay." Gao's mother didn't understand why she was telling herself such a trivial matter, after all, many things in the house were bought back from Xiang Xi, and she didn't spend any money at all, and the business in the shop, as well as whether Father Gao could blow the cold wind outside, were all brought by Xiaoxi.

But I have to say that this kind of trivial matter is to be told to her, which makes Gao's mother feel that she is valued by Xiang Xi, and the relationship is visibly more intimate with the naked eye.

Gao Sachs looked at it from the side, his heart gradually warmed, and he habitually reached out and touched Xiang Xi's head, and said, "Mother, tomorrow I will go to the village to collect piglets, and there are a few small piglets to sell, can you go to the county to help me take a look at the store, I'm afraid that Gao Quan can't be busy alone." ”

"It's time for me to go, Gao Quan is a half-sized boy, it's almost the same to greet guests, and the fried croquettes are handed over to him, I'm afraid I'm not going to be tired, he's your cousin, don't bully people." Gao's mother babbled.

Early the next morning, I packed up and followed Daddy Gao to the town.

Daddy Gao left the ox cart and asked Goldman Sachs to use it on the way to pull the piglets, the pig cages were borrowed from Uncle Gao's house, and it was most convenient to load the piglets.

Xiang Xi knew that Goldman Sachs was leaving, so he went back to the house and took out a thick cotton jacket, as well as a mask, ear hats, fur scarves, and gloves with rabbit fur as a base.

There were four or five baked cakes in the pot, a water bag filled with bone broth, and another water bag filled with piping hot water.

Xiang Xi took these things, Goldman Sachs dared to install the shed of the ox cart, it was cold in winter, and it was not so cold to block it with a straw mat shed.

"Come back early, when the meal arrives, you will spend the night in the farmer's house to eat, and then come back, don't go hungry." Xiang Xi told while putting his luggage.

Goldman Sachs' eyes were warm, and he hugged her gently before leaving.

After Goldman Sachs left.

Xiang Xi was busy turning over the eggs and maintaining enough humidity.

She doesn't have a thermometer either, so she doesn't plan to get it, so she has to rely on her own intuition.

Hanyu's children went to touch the dirt box from time to time, asked if the temperature was right, and taught Xi all.

"Yes, it's this temperature, it can't be high, it can't be low."

"You have to keep it up."

"That's so hard, add charcoal to it, too much and it will be hot." Hanyu was extremely worried, and her little face was full of sorrow.

Chunliu raised her immature little face, and her voice was soft and glutinous, "Sister Hanyu, we can increase it little by little, and when it is a little hot, we will take out the charcoal." ”

"Okay, that's it, stupid methods are also methods."

The three children cared more than Xiang Xi.

You must know that the eggs will take about 20 days.

Impatient people really can't do this job, plus they have to keep an eye on it, and they have to turn it every four hours.

Xiang Xi was not idle, taking advantage of this time to read in the room with a book.

Da Chu's books are all in traditional Chinese, Xiang Xi realized that it was understanding, and it was difficult for her to write, in order to avoid being illiterate, she gritted her teeth and learned.

"Aunt Xiaoxi, what are you doing?" Hanyu asked curiously.

"Literacy." Xiang Xi asked casually, "Do you want to learn?" ”

Han Yu's eyes widened, "Can girls be literate?" ”

"Why not?"

"There is only Uncle Gao Yun who studies in the village, and everyone says that only men can go to the school." Hanyu was also a little confused.

I have always known that way.

Xiang Xi didn't tell the child anything about society, she said with a smile, "We don't go to the school, you can read and write in your own home, and the yamen didn't say no." ”

Hanyu scratched her hair, unable to find a word to refute her, "It seems to be." ”

"Yes, wow, I don't know how to read, I don't even know the silver ticket in the future, isn't it too miserable, I was deceived and I don't even know if the deed is true or false, anyway, if I have time now, I will learn first, but I can't be a stupid person."

Han Yu shuddered when he heard the word stupid, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't be stupid, don't be stupid." ”

"In the future, Hanyu will make money for his grandparents, fathers, brothers and sisters to eat meat."

Good girl, ambitious.

Xiang Xi pouted a few girls to be literate, and it was not a weak heart at all to use child labor, but it was really a child at this time, even if she was precocious, she would marry early, and she couldn't use modern calculation methods at all, but in her heart she was still a few children, and learning words was also easy, and she had some sugar water from time to time.
