Chapter 52 It turns out it’s out of concern

Shen Qing thought that the books sold in shopping malls were spiritual food. When he saw the tool books, only one thought flashed through his mind: There is a golden house in books!

This is not spiritual food, this is definitely the way to get rich!

She found a book on traditional soap making and quickly glanced through it. She had made handmade soap before and was experienced, but after she came here, she began to worry about the ratio of alkali to water, and almost failed because she had no straw!

But it's different with this book. It not only says that rice straw and soybean stalks can be used to extract alkaline water, but also the common yellow broom tree, and in the south, the branches and leaves of the lily of the valley. In addition, oil tea shells and yellow gardenia branches and leaves can also be used. The steps and proportions are recorded in detail one by one.

The same is true for brushes.

Shen Qing: ...It would be great if you could open book categories in the mall sooner!

Then I thought that food and medicine are more important, and neither can be replaced.

Well, she was looking forward to the next category to be opened.

After taking a brief look at the methods of making tofu, wine, and malt sugar, Shen Qing put away the books with satisfaction, and counted out the valuables and put them in the locker.

Needless to say, there is a total of more than eight taels of silver in the house, which is carefully stored in the locker.

A pass is also very important. Without it, you will be unable to move forward unless you stay in the mountains and forests for your entire life.

She carefully wrapped it in layers of oil paper and put it in there - she would put Jiang Yu's pass in there after she came back, and it was very convenient to carry with her anyway.

After packing up his belongings, Shen Qing began to think about what he would do when he got up early the next morning and went into the city.

A kitchen knife is a must-buy item. Also, check if the iron products are expensive. If they are not expensive, buy a few more knives for self-defense. If they are expensive, buy them when you earn more money.

Buy more brown sugar and give some to Huo Bing, Jiang Yu, and Jiang Shui, the three girls, to boil eggs for them to eat to nourish their bodies.

The other part is stored in the storage cabinet. There is a lot of rain in summer, and it is inevitable to get wet when going out. When the time comes, boil a pot of brown sugar ginger water, which is very effective in dispelling cold and warming the stomach.

Then go to the livestock market to find out about the market prices of horses, cows, and donkeys, and compare which ones have the best cost-effectiveness and are most suitable for your family. Buy them by May at the latest - with the book, you don't have to worry about how to feed them.

The most important thing is to find out about Captain Sun's character... The Liu family is really mean. If they offended me today, they will definitely think of revenge.

However, even if they begged on their knees, the Liu family would not let Jiang Yu come back, and their nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong would make them retaliate twice as hard.

It would be best if Captain Sun didn't want to take the lead, but if they were the same kind of people as the Liu family, she would have to be prepared first and not fight an unprepared battle!

"Mom! Are you free? Second Master and Aunt Ying want to talk to you about something." There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Xiangnan's cheerful voice came.

Jiang Xiangnan has been eating well recently and is happy every day. Shen Qing found that it is easy to raise this son. As long as he has delicious food, it is fine. He does not have high requirements. If he can eat rice and white flour, it is very good. If he has meat, it is simply great.

"I'm free, come on."

Everyone else in the village had gone home. Jiang Shui and Guan Li were washing the dishes and sorting them according to each household so that they could be returned one by one later.

Jiang Yu was in Huo Bing's room. Huo Bing was taking measurements for her and making new clothes. The original clothes and quilt fabrics were not wasted. They were all torn into long strips and used to polish the pen holders.

The yard, which was originally packed with people, was now very empty, with only Mr. Jiang and his daughter Jiang Ying left.

"Sister-in-law, let's find a quiet place to talk for a while." Jiang Ying saw Shen Qing coming out and hurriedly said first.

Shen Qing understood that he had something important to say, but he didn't want others to hear it. What important thing could it be?

Could it be Jiang Yu’s business?

Shen Qing was puzzled but followed without asking any questions. What happened today made her understand the importance of family and unity in this dynasty!

If it weren't for the help of the second master of the Jiang family, the village chief, how many people could she have called for help with the bowl of crispy pork she temporarily gave to two or three neighbors?

If Zhou Yan hadn't stood in front of Jiang Yu as his sister-in-law, the injuries Jiang Yu suffered would have been many times more severe than they are now.

If Third Aunt Zhao Mingyue had not used her connections to call those strong women, how could Mrs. Liu have been subdued so easily?

Today in the Liu family, most of the people who rushed to the front and stood in front and put in the most effort were from the Liu family. Only when they rushed to the front did the villagers become motivated.

Having a large number of people is important, but unity and mutual assistance are even more important.

Whether it was today's incident, the uncertain future of Captain Sun, or the future journey of escape, she and her family alone couldn't handle it; everyone had to be strong to truly recover...

The three of them walked along the main road of the village. When they reached the fields, Jiang Yang looked at the lush green wheat and suddenly asked, "You were very generous with your lunch. It was well prepared. I'm afraid it must have used up a lot of food. Do you have enough food at home?"

The wheat can't be harvested until early May at the earliest. Yingzi said that for lunch, since so many people were eating as much as they wanted, even if they had egg drop soup to fill their stomachs, at least 20 to 30 kilograms of flour would be used.

Twenty to thirty kilograms of fine white flour, not to mention the actual egg drop soup.

"Enough to eat! Don't worry, there's plenty of food at home." Hearing that he was concerned about whether she had enough food, Shen Qing responded happily.

Jiang Yang frowned slightly and asked, "I remember that your family sold less than 50 kilograms of wheat. How can you still have more than half left after nearly a year?"

And most of this was eaten at lunch today?

Shen Qing knew in her heart that this was a test for her.

Thinking that she couldn't be exposed, she said the excuse she had prepared long ago: "How could it be possible? There are only a few left. I bought these later.

I mentioned it before when I delivered the fried meat. I stumbled upon a business that earned me some money, and I used it to buy food and cloth for my family."

Jiang Ying interrupted anxiously, "Sister-in-law, we can't do bad things. We'll go to jail for that!

Even if our family can barely eat or wear anything, it's better than life in prison. If we really can't make ends meet, we still have my father and my family. We can help each other and we can always get by."

Shen Qing was dumbfounded. She thought it was concern, but later found out it was a test. When she thought it was a test, it turned out to be concern after all.

Were they worried that her money wasn't legitimate? That she'd commit crimes for the sake of it? That's why they stayed alone to persuade her!

Mr. Jiang also said, "My third and fifth brothers and I don't have much food left at home. If we save some of it, we can scrape together 70 or 80 kilograms. That should be enough for your family to eat until they have enough wheat. You don't have to be polite, we're family."

Shen Qing knew the value of these seventy or eighty kilograms of grain!

In the lean months, every household did not have enough food to eat, and they were already frugal as much as they could be. Now the three families could only pool together 70 or 80 kilograms, which was really scraped out from their teeth.

She looked at the still green wheat, took a deep breath, and made a decision.
