Xia Daohua covered her face, hurt by Lihua's blow, with a look of confusion, and had to comfort the crying little sister:
"Sister, your hands are really heavy! Why are you so excited? I'm fine."
"You fainted and you still say you're fine? I just saw it all!"
"I'm just hungry! The steamed bread I had this morning was too hard. I couldn't chew it, so I wasn't full..."
Xia Daohua made up an excuse and spoke in a lower and lower voice.
At this moment, Xia Daohua's stomach happened to "gurgle" twice in response.
Lihua immediately believed it and burst into laughter:
"You silly girl, you almost scared me to death!"
She smiled very happily, her eyes were curved, and there were several crystal tears hanging on her fair face.
Xia Daohua felt that the pear blossoms at this time were extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairies.
Lihua quickly wiped away her tears, took out an oil-paper bag from her bosom, carefully opened it, and spread it on her palm:
"Last time, Aunt Wu brought me some sesame cakes. They were so fragrant and soft. You should eat them quickly!"
Three days ago, Cheng brought back a basket of sesame cakes from her parents' home and distributed a few to each of the heads of the family. The largest number was given to the fourth room.
Xia Daohua ate one at that time and found it tasted really good.
Lihua only tore off a small piece at that time and shared it with Wulang. At most, they could just taste it.
Has the remaining half been preserved from that time until now?
Xia Daohua was touched and found it a little funny.
She did not refuse Lihua's kindness. She picked up the pancake, put it to her mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it slowly. Her movements were very gentle and graceful.
Lihua swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but stare at the pancake for a few seconds. Then she turned around quickly and started digging wild vegetables silently again.
Xia Daohua only took one bite and couldn't eat anymore.
Although this pancake was quite delicious, after being left out for three days and kept close to Lihua, the taste had actually deteriorated significantly. However, Lihua herself couldn't bear to eat it and left it for her...
Xia Daohua hesitated for a moment and finally made up her mind.
…
When we came down the mountain that day, the backpack of summer rice flowers was filled to the brim.
Three plump marmots huddled beneath the backpack, and on top of them lay two plump rabbits and a plump pheasant with its wings tied tight. The top layer was covered with some dead branches and some lush green vegetables.
Lihua happily followed Xia Daohua. She felt that her sister Daohua was definitely a lucky star. Ever since she brought this girl out, she had never returned empty-handed!
Lihua's backpack was now full. In addition to two pheasants and three rabbits, there were also some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables.
The two little girls were beaming with joy, their faces flushed with sweat from exhaustion. Even though they were carrying heavy baskets, their steps were brisk.
The two little girls are still children after all. Although they are one year older, Lihua is only thirteen and Xia Daohua is only nine years old.
When they got home, they were both exhausted and sweating.
When Jiang saw the two women's appearance, she was afraid that they would catch a cold due to the wind, so she quickly boiled some hot water and prepared to give them a bath and then change into clean clothes.
Lihua and Xia Daohua put down their backpacks and chased after Jiang to tell her the secret hidden in the backpacks. Jiang was suddenly filled with mixed feelings, feeling amused and a little distressed.
The children are so sensible that as a mother, I can’t help but feel both happy and sad.
Jiang asked Lihua and Xia Daohua to rest first, and she personally packed up the things in the two backpacks.
Marmots, hares, and pheasants are all alive, but they look listless and lack energy.
Jiang was overjoyed. If she kept these for her family to eat, she could satisfy her children's cravings; if she sold them in town, she could get a lot of money in return!
A few days ago, drunkard Old Lu got drunk and went for a walk in the deep mountains. He picked up half a roe deer that had been eaten by a black bear. He asked Lu's wife to clean it up carefully, and sold the roe deer meat for a full one tael and two cents of silver!
Although pheasants, hares, and marmots are not as rare as roe deer, they are also wild game that wealthy families love to eat.
It should be worth wasting a day to let Xia Youtian make a trip to town.
While Jiang was thinking, she took a large wooden basin, scooped out hot water from the pot, tested the temperature with her hand, added some cold water, tested it again, and then called Wulang to close the door.
Jiang asked Wulang to take Linghua to the inner room to play, and she personally took off the sweat-soaked underwear of Lihua and Daohua. Ignoring Lihua's shyness and Xia Daohua's protests, she directly picked up the two children and stuffed them into the basin.
Taking an old cotton towel, he started to bathe the two children.
The summer rice flowers and pear blossoms crowded together, just like two white lambs. Jiang's skillful movements washed them clean from head to toe with "swish, swish, swish".
After washing and drying herself, and changing into dry clothes, Xia Daohua felt that during this process, she was like a pet pig being forced by its owner to wash white, which was a terrible feeling, but she also unexpectedly experienced a long-lost comfort.
She hasn't had a good bath since she traveled through time.
Not to mention scrubbing!
In terms of personal hygiene alone, it is almost like survival mode in the wild!
Although you can wash your hands and feet, wash your face, and simply wipe it on a daily basis, there are still many inconveniences.
She would only occasionally sneak into the Space Supermarket and simply turn on the water heater in the staff dormitory behind the supermarket to take a shower. She usually chose this time late at night because she had to wait until the Xia family members were asleep.
She didn't dare to wash for too long, and even didn't dare to use some shampoos or shower gels that would leave a fragrance, for fear that her family would find out.
This time, although she shared a big bathtub with Lihua, and although Jiang only gave her simple things like wood ash and pig pancreas, she still took a bath and scrubbed her body. After washing, she felt as if she was refreshed.
It's really amazing to say.
Taking a comfortable hot bath and changing into warm, dry clothes can surprisingly bring a sense of inexplicable happiness. Even the patches on the clothes can't affect this sweet mood.
Xia Daohua allowed herself to indulge in pleasure for a while. However, before she could enjoy it for long, her divergent thinking suddenly came into play again - she suddenly discovered a way to make money.
That is a way to make money that many predecessors who have traveled through time have taken.
Selling soap.
Pure white and fragrant moisturizing soap, laundry soap with strong detergency, colorful handmade soap, crystal clear essential oil soap... compared to bath beans, wood ash, and pig pancreas, they should still be very competitive!
Her space supermarket would refresh the merchandise on the shelves every 24 hours. This meant that as long as she had enough "supermarket coins" points, her supply would always be inexhaustible.
