Shuiqing wanted to say that with over a hundred chickens, they could produce more than a hundred eggs a day. If they needed to switch to mushrooms, they could still "collect" more than two hundred eggs a day.
After all, pork can't be faked, but eggs can.
It's much easier to fake eggs than pork!
"Change it! Shuiqing, where do I register?"
"Just deliver it every day, okay?"
The women who had been surrounding the pork table all turned to Shui Qing and asked her with delight.
A few days ago, there was a major flood. What worried them the most, what frustrated them the most, and what pained them the most was that they couldn't exchange the mushrooms they had picked for rice.
After all, the flood blocked the roads, making it impossible to go out, let alone transport the rice back.
Last year, the weather was favorable, and the Bai family was willing to trade rice with the Shui family for mushrooms. This year, it's uncertain whether there will be a complete crop failure, and grain prices are about to rise. Who would be willing to trade grain for mushrooms?
Only Shuiqing was grateful and even thought of exchanging her own mushrooms for the Bai family to keep!
This allowed them to benefit as well.
Shui Qing naturally welcomes all comers, and the more the better.
She pointed to the courtyard, "Go register with Yan Qiu."
Neither Xinghui nor Dajiang are meticulous people.
Fan He's calligraphy is too ugly, and Fan Hu is too small. Only Yan Qiu is meticulous and steady, making her the most suitable for bookkeeping.
Yan Qiu had already set out writing brushes and ink in the courtyard. Originally, it was for registering people to exchange for pork, but now it was also for registering people to exchange for eggs.
Zhao Di had given prior notice that there would be many people coming and going these days, so she should stay in Yan Qiu's room and not come out. Last time, when her father, Fan Qian, came to transport lime, he thought Zhao Di should still be resting and didn't ask her a single question.
It's obvious they're afraid of the expense of food and care if they bring her back.
But this is good too. Zhao Di is a studious child. In another two or three months, he will learn quite a bit about characters and cooking.
This is also a skill to make a living, so that no matter where I am in the future, I won't starve to death.
The women rushed into the yard with a commotion, afraid that they would miss out if they were late. They thought that if they registered early, they could get the pork sooner and then exchange it for eggs earlier.
Shuiqing instructed Hu Wenhua to move all the pork ribs, pig intestines, pig kidneys, pig head, and congealed pig blood inside, as she was preparing to cook lunch.
Hu Wenhua worked exceptionally hard, not only moving the items in but also cleaning them without being told to.
You have an excellent eye for detail!
Shui Qing: .....The power of love is truly great.
Grandma Xu, who was standing around Yan Qiu, kept exclaiming, "I only knew that boys could read and write, but I never imagined that girls could write, and write so beautifully!"
One of the younger people joked, "Grandma Xu, aren't you illiterate? How do you know she writes well?"
Grandma Xu snorted: "I may not be able to read, but I can still read! Look how steady the little girl's hand is when she holds the pen! Just as steady and skillful as when we hold needles and thread."
But holding a pen looks so much better, much better than holding a needle and thread!
The other women immediately nodded in agreement.
The villagers have a natural reverence for literacy and always think that scholars are powerful and know a lot!
I used to think that only boys could read and write, but now that I see Yan Qiu holding a calligraphy brush and writing so well, I realize that girls can write too?
Having a scholar in the family makes all the difference; the children can also learn to read and write.
Didn't Hu Shuiqing used to forbid Da Ya and Er Ya from learning to read? But it's possible that it wasn't because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't at that time.
Otherwise, after the family split up, not only were Daya and Erya's names changed, but they were also taught to read and write.
With no one to suppress them, it's no wonder their lives are getting better and better.
