As soon as Jiang Kexin was born, her parents arranged a childhood engagement for her. However, within five days, the boy choked to death while nursing.
At five years old, another engagement w...
When I returned to the village, there were a lot of people gathered outside my yard, all craning their necks to look into the yard.
Seeing this, Ge Shuzhen's eyelids twitched wildly. She tugged at the old man's sleeve and said, "Dad, could it be that something happened to our eldest son's wife? Otherwise, why are these people surrounding our house?"
Jiang Yongtian panicked when his wife said this, and immediately quickened his pace: "Hurry back and see what's going on."
If someone were to die, there would be two deaths. Although the eldest son's wife was not particular, life was important, so the family of three hurried back as fast as they could.
"Uncle Jiang is back. Come, let me help you push it."
"Brother Li, your legs and feet aren't working well, so I'll do it."
In such a short time, the three of them were surrounded by enthusiastic villagers. Li San, who had poor legs and feet, was unable to grab the position of Ji Tai who came from behind.
A group of people were standing in the Jiang family's yard. The women were talking to Ge Shuzhen, and the men were talking to Jiang Yongtian. Ke Xin, who was standing aside, was treated as an unnecessary person. She was not angry, but took a large bowl and filled it with two servings of food and went to deliver them to her uncle's and second uncle's homes.
Second uncle's house was close by, just around the corner, but she seemed to have come at the wrong time. Second cousin's wife Ye Xia was sitting on the ground crying loudly. Second cousin Jiang Hui's face was not in good condition either, with scratches on both sides of his face.
She handed the bowl to Jiang Hui awkwardly: "Brother Hui, this is the leftover food from lunch, please don't be disgusted."
Seeing that it was Xiaojiu, the cannibal forced a smile on his face, took the bowl and said, "What kind of family is it that still dislikes meat?"
The bowl is full of meat. Although it is cold, there are still oil floating on it. If I add some more cabbage and potatoes in the evening, it can be eaten for several meals. I like it so much that I dare not dislike it.
"Come in and sit down. Don't just stand there like an idiot. I'll pour you some sugar water!"
Xiaojiu waved his hand at him: "No, brother, I still need to deliver this to my uncle. I'm leaving, brother and sister-in-law."
After saying that, Xiaojiu didn't dare to stay any longer. She just said hello to the couple and ran away. After all, it would be inappropriate for her to stay there while they were arguing.
When Xiaojiu arrived at his eldest uncle's house, he found that his second uncle and his aunt were both there. The atmosphere in the room was weird and a bit depressing, and his aunt's eyes were a little red at this time.
Jiang Wuli saw that it was Xiaojiu who came and waved at her: "Jiuer is here to bring food again?"
Ke Xin placed the bowl of food on the table and nodded gently: "The lunch dishes are not finished yet, send some to uncle and uncle, so that the family does not have to cook in the evening."
Jiang nodded helplessly: "Good boy."
Second Aunt wiped the tears from her face and looked at Kexin with red eyes: "Is business bad this afternoon?"
"It's okay. The two food vendors across the street deliberately lowered their prices, so we didn't sell out. But we got our money back, so it's just a matter of how much profit we make."
When Zhuo Qiaohong heard that her capital had been returned, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to be back. As long as we make some money, it's fine. The biggest fear for farmers is losing money."
Second uncle Jiang Yongfa also chimed in, "Then why don't you lower the price? You've already made your money back, so you'll definitely make a profit if you sell it. Even if you make a little less, it's still better than eating the leftovers!"
satisfying:....
"Uncle, we won't lose out if we eat it. Besides, our family hasn't had any oil or water for so long, and our bodies can't handle it. I see that Brother Hui has lost weight again." Ke Xin explained, "It's okay to lower the price today, but if we raise it back someday, the customers won't be so polite."
Jiang Yongfa nodded: "I'm worried that you'll be working hard. If you don't make some money, all your hard work will be in vain."
"Well, next time we will make less and try to sell them all at once." Ke Xin changed the subject.
When discussing nutrition and daily life with the elderly, they all look back and believe that they will feel at ease only when they have money in their hands. They would rather save money than spend it on meat. They would wear a pair of pants during the day, wash them at night, and then wear them again during the day. If they get broken, they will just patch them up.
After the father wore it, the son wore it, after the eldest sister wore it, the younger sister wore it. Anyway, if you don’t wear this piece of clothing for a few years, you will feel sorry for the fabric of the clothes.
After delivering the dishes, Ke Xin left. In the end, she didn't even curiously ask why her second aunt was crying.
When she got home, she realized that the group of people who came today were here to sell vegetables. The price was even cheaper than in the market outside. Xiaojiu smiled when she heard this: "That's great. We just called and the villagers delivered it to our home. It saved us the effort."
Ge Shuzhen nodded: "That's true, but we can't just have cabbage and potatoes as vegetarian dishes, right? At least we can have something else."
Vegetarian dishes do need to be cooked in different ways, but green vegetables are scarce in this era and the varieties are pitifully few. I have never even seen tomatoes. As for peppers, they are still in the space. Otherwise, if you want to eat something spicy, you have to use dogwood instead.
"Mom, pickle the cabbage into sauerkraut. When winter comes, we can make pig-killing dishes, sauerkraut noodles, or kimchi. It's delicious and inexpensive, and it's a great vegetable in winter."
What is sauerkraut and what is kimchi!
The couple's heads were spinning, and they couldn't figure it out after a long time, but they roughly knew that these things were made of cabbage.
Jiang Yongtian pondered for a moment, then pulled his wife aside, hushed Xiaojiu, and whispered, "Her mother, I guess Xiaojiu learned this from the King of Hell during those three days. Why don't we just listen to her? It's just some cabbage, at worst we can just eat pickles in the winter."
This incident reminded Ge Shuzhen: "You're right, I had forgotten about this."
But it is not so pitiful to eat pickles during the winter. Not to mention the eight taels of profit from selling Fuqi Feipian, the family has earned more than three hundred coins in the past two days, which is enough to last until the Chinese New Year next year.
