Chapter 108 Buying Land to Plant Sweet Potatoes
Mrs. Meng ate the preserved egg and tofu and sighed, "I feel that dishes made with preserved eggs are really delicious, especially when you eat more meat. Eating a dish like this is refreshing and delicious, and very comfortable."
Su Erya said happily: "Grandma, I like to eat this dish too. Salted duck eggs are really delicious when eaten with steamed buns. The yellow ones are delicious and juicy, but the green ones are a bit salty."
Shen Yueyao listened to this and smiled and said, "The yolk of salted duck eggs is what you eat. The yolk is a good thing. It can be used to make egg yolk snacks."
Shen Yueyao had walked around the town and seen many dim sum, but there was no dim sum sold with egg yolk.
She also walked around the streets of the military camp and visited the most famous dim sum shops, but none of them had egg yolk dim sum.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can also make egg yolk mooncakes, which are also delicious.
Dabao and Erbao listened to Shen Yueyao's words and looked at her with blinking eyes, looking like they wanted to eat.
Looking at their expressions, Shen Yueyao's expression softened, "When I have time later, Mom will make you some egg yolk snacks for the whole family to eat."
Hearing these words, Dabao and Erbao smiled sweetly and well-behavedly.
It melted Shen Yueyao's heart.
She feels happy no matter what she does for them.
…
The other side
When Shen Shaojing returned home, his father Shen Chengzhou and his mother Cui were busy making corn vermicelli in the yard.
My little nephew Xuanxuan sat obediently next to me, playing with his small toys.
Seeing Shen Shaojing coming back, Cui smiled gently and said, "Shaojing is back."
Seeing that her son was fine, Cui was relieved. She asked, "By the way, is your sister okay on the way home? Did your sister return home safely?"
Even Shen Chengzhou looked up at him.
Shen Shaojing knew that his parents were worried about his sister, so he smiled and said, "Dad and Mom, don't worry, my sister is fine. She has already gone home and asked me to go over tomorrow."
"Well, if your sister has any problems, go over and help her."
"And your third sister-in-law wants you to give the money to your sister."
Shen Shaojing was a little confused, "What silver?"
Cui explained, "Ever since your sister helped provide ideas and taught your third brother and his wife a new noodle recipe and a hot and sour rice noodle recipe, their shop has not only been revitalized, but business is also booming. On a good day, they can make four or five taels of silver, which was something we never dared to imagine before."
"Your third brother and his wife, thank you for your sister and plan to give her a share every month."
Now that life at home is getting better, Cui smiles more often and is more motivated to work every day.
As for the resentment that the eldest and second sons had been holding on to when they asked to divide the family property, it was gone too.
Who dares to gossip behind people's backs now?
Shen Shaojing smiled and said, "Third brother and sister-in-law are still the best."
"That's not the case. The key point is that your third sister-in-law is very kind. She made money but she couldn't bear to buy clothes for herself. Instead, she bought cloth for all of us. I will take some time these days to make a set of clothes for each of you."
Cui now understands that it is not enough for her son to be filial, she also needs a good daughter-in-law.
Since the daughter-in-law doesn't care, the son naturally won't care about it either.
The eldest and second sons used to be obedient, but after they got wives and had children, they started to have other thoughts.
As a mother, she hopes that her sons all live well.
But don't treat them like fools.
They talk bad about them behind their backs, but when there is delicious food at home, they want to come over to eat it.
And they are biased.
It was clearly their request to divide the family property, and they also wanted a lot of the family land.
Seeing Shaochen and Ye getting along well behind their backs, she was full of sour words.
She was very unhappy with his behavior of always thinking about taking advantage of others.
So she hoped even more for the well-being of her third son, fourth son and daughter.
I'll fight for it no matter what.
Shen Shaojing was also happy when he saw his mother talking and laughing.
"Mom, look, these are the spare ribs, chicken wings, and pork my sister bought for you to cook."
"And these snacks are for Xuanxuan, and this packet of tea, my sister said it's for you to drink tea."
When Cui saw these things, she was happy but also distressed. "You told your sister that now that our family is well off, she doesn't need to worry about it. If she has good things, she can take them home to eat and not just think about her parents' home, lest her mother-in-law be unhappy."
Cui didn't care how much her daughter gave her, she just wanted her daughter to live a good life.
She felt that life was always different for a woman after she got married than when she was in her parents' home.
You have to take care of your husband and children and be filial to your parents-in-law. If you don't do any of these well, you will be criticized.
Fortunately, the daughter gave birth to two sons for her son-in-law, so the daughter always has a status.
Shen Shaojing said: "Mom, I think Aunt Meng is a very good person. She treats my sister well. She supports whatever my sister wants to do. Even my brother-in-law treats my sister well. Don't worry so much."
Hearing this, Cui felt relieved.
"My sister told you to eat it."
Cui smiled and said, "My daughter is so considerate."
"I just know my daughter is good and can live a good life."
"Look at your third brother and his wife. Thanks to your sister, their store is so prosperous now. When they are too busy, your father and I will go to help."
Shen Shaojing seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Dad and Mom, have we planted the land yet?"
Cui said, "You've been away for more than ten days. These days, we've hired people to plant wheat, corn, peanuts, and other crops."
If the family earns money, they can also hire people to plant crops.
In fact, if they were not busy making corn vermicelli and helping to prepare the sauce, they would have time to work in the fields.
But the store is too busy and I have to take care of the business.
Shen Shaojing scratched his head and said, "But my sister gave us potatoes, sweet potatoes, enoki mushrooms and leeks, and asked us to try growing some. She said the yield is very good. Do we have land to grow them at home?"
Previously, Shen Yueyao went to the space and found that there were more potatoes, sweet potatoes and leek seeds in the wooden house in the space.
There were quite a lot, so Shen Yueyao kept some to plant and the other part to plant for her parents.
On the way, she also told her fourth brother the planting method.
"My sister also said that sweet potato flour can also be used to make vermicelli noodles."
Cui said excitedly: "In that case, this is a good thing, we must plant it."
Shen Chengzhou said: “But our land is all used to grow things, there is no land left.”
The family originally had a total of eight acres of land. When the family was divided, the eldest wife took two acres of the best land, the second wife took two acres of the best land, and the remaining four acres were medium-quality land.
They also need to eat, so they grow more corn, peanuts and wheat.
I’m afraid that if I plant too late, there won’t be enough food for the family.
Cui's expression changed and she said, "Dad, how about we talk to the third son and his wife about buying two more acres of land?"
"You see, they definitely need a lot of noodles and vermicelli when they open a shop. Now that more people know about hot and sour noodles, the business is getting better and better. They will definitely need more ingredients in the future. Let's grow more so that we don't have to buy more when the time comes."
Shen Chengzhou nodded and said, “Well, in our Xinghua Village, an acre of ordinary land is three taels of silver, and the best land requires five or six taels of silver. Even if you are a little frugal, you can still buy two acres of the most ordinary land.”
Because Xinghua Village is very close to the town, has convenient transportation and is relatively prosperous, and the village is relatively large, the land is more expensive than in other villages.
Shen Shaojing was also a little tempted. He also wanted to help his parents buy a few more acres of land.
But he had no money now. All the money in the family was earned by his third brother, his wife, and his parents. He was too embarrassed to speak up even if he had some ideas.
