Chapter 208 Face ointment and hand ointment
Speaking of this, Mrs. Meng also smiled.
They eat potatoes every day these days.
Such a big potato can be used to stir-fry a dish.
And the chicken stewed with potatoes is really delicious, the chicken tastes so good.
In the past, when people in the village ate chicken, they would just stew it like this and add some salt, but it actually had no taste.
But the village was poor, and even so, chicken was extremely precious.
But when you stew chicken with potatoes, the potatoes taste amazing and even better than the meat.
There are many ways to cook potatoes.
You can stew chicken with potatoes, or make fried potato slices or shredded potatoes.
She and Erya both know how to cook this kind of dish.
They also love to eat leeks. They like to stir-fry leeks with eggs or meat.
When Madam Meng was in the Marquis' Mansion, she ate all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but none of them were as delicious as this.
At that time, Mrs. Meng thought that eating was just so-so, but now she looks forward to eating every day.
After breakfast, I look forward to lunch, and after lunch, I look forward to dinner.
Now she feels that her life has purpose.
I feel good when I eat delicious food.
Besides, now I’m helping my daughter-in-law manage the workshop, so it’s not tiring.
She usually just goes to the workshop to take a look, and everyone respects her very much.
Now, not to mention the villagers, even people from other villages are polite and enthusiastic when they see her.
No matter what happens, the villagers are eager to help.
Now that there is water in the river, Mrs. Meng likes to sit on the stone bench by the river to wash clothes.
The weather is warm, and it's fun to bask in the sun and chat and play with the villagers.
If you go too late and there are no stone stools, everyone will rush to help move one over.
If she brought too many clothes and didn't finish washing them, everyone would come over to help wash them.
She was embarrassed to ask everyone for help, but she couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm.
This feeling made Mrs. Meng feel warm in her heart.
I didn’t feel this way when I was in Beijing before.
When you are in the capital, everyone weighs the pros and cons based on your family's status.
A single sentence can have multiple meanings.
In the village, although everyone is more welcoming to her because of the current workshop, the people are still very simple.
Everyone is kind at heart.
And the way he speaks is really simple and easy to listen to.
Besides, when the Su family first moved here, the conditions were difficult and the villagers helped them.
So Mrs. Meng felt that living in Liuhe Village was also good.
It's quite comfortable anyway.
All we have to do is bring Daya back together.
To be honest, Madam Meng was still a little worried about Daya.
Su Daya was stunned when she heard what Madam Meng said.
"Such delicious food, how can one acre of land produce over a thousand kilograms?"
Su Daya's eyes widened.
Su Daya used to help with housework, but she didn't do much work and didn't know much about the per-acre grain yield in the fields.
But after arriving in Nanlin Village, Zhu treated her like a maid and asked her to do all kinds of work.
She worked especially hard at the farm work.
Those who get up early and come back late have to take care of the vegetable and grain fields every day.
The villagers worked in their fields, and many of them discussed the crops while working. She probably knew the yield per mu of land.
The vegetable garden, if it is cultivated and managed carefully, can only produce more than 300 kilograms per acre.
Normally, one acre of land can produce more than 200 kilograms.
The same goes for food.
So Su Daya now understood how astonishing a number over a thousand kilograms was.
Su Daya exclaimed: "Aunt San is so amazing!"
Madam Meng also said proudly: "Of course not, your Third Aunt knows a lot. If you study hard, you will know more in the future. It is always good to learn more. If you have the ability to support yourself, you can have enough food to eat and not go hungry."
If Madam Meng had said this before, Su Daya would not have had the patience to listen.
But now Su Daya knows that her family is doing this for her own good, and she will listen carefully to whatever they say.
And after experiencing these things, she realized that people still have to rely on themselves.
Having the ability yourself is better than anything else.
For example, my little sister Erya used to be soft-spoken and taciturn, but since she started learning things from Aunt San, she now knows a lot of things and is more confident and cheerful.
It’s just a pity that she didn’t see these things and didn’t understand them before.
She is stupid.
But she understands now, and she will change and study hard in the future.
Su Daya nodded seriously and said, "Well, I can also help with farming."
"I can help with any chores that need to be done around the house."
Su Daya urgently wanted to do something to demonstrate her own value.
Otherwise, she would feel guilty eating and drinking for free at home.
When Su Daya said this, she looked at Shen Yueyao with expectant eyes.
Shen Yueyao could understand Su Daya's eyes, "As long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you."
"But your main task now is to take care of your body. Only when you are healthy can you do things."
"I've opened a workshop now, but I'm still worried about having someone else help manage it. Mother and Erya also have things to do on weekdays, so I'm going to treat you well. I plan to let you help out in the lipstick workshop, and you can learn how to make lipstick in the future."
"I'm planning to make facial cream, eyebrow pencil and other things later."
"We need to get all the makeup stuff out so that we can put makeup on you guys. It will look better then."
People in this era also wear makeup, but it is simple makeup, not as detailed as the makeup in the technological age.
Hearing this, Su Daya's heart beat faster and she felt a sense of anticipation.
She also wants to get better soon.
So I tried to eat more.
After eating, Su Daya rushed to help clean up the dishes and wanted to help wash the dishes.
Su Yueyao looked at her and said, "You should take a rest first. You don't need to do these for the time being."
"You still have to protect your hands."
Shen Yueyao also felt a little sad in her heart. Su Daya would never do these jobs before.
I won't rush to do it.
It seems that she had suffered a lot in Nanlin Village before.
Shen Yueyao looked at her hands and couldn't bear to look at them.
"Your hands are all cracked."
Su Daya pulled her hand back and said, "Well, it's okay."
Shen Yueyao thought about it and decided to make some facial cream or hand cream later, which could be used to moisturize hands and prevent cracks and repair cracks on hands.
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Daya, who had become somewhat self-deprecating, and said, "Don't worry, your hand will get better."
"You forgot that I know medicine, so I can mix the medicine. After mixing the medicine, apply it on your hands and it will heal you."
Su Daya was moved again.
She moved her lips as if to say something, but she didn't.
She thought that when she learned something and became capable in the future, she would definitely repay her third aunt.
During the rest period at night, in order to take better care of Su Daya, Su Erya slept in the same room with Su Daya.
The two sisters haven't slept together like this for a long time.
They were silent for a while, then began to talk.
