With money in her pocket and no worries in her hands, Meng Qidi bought a lot of flour and sugar. Of course, there was room for these things. If she didn't have these things at home, it would be too conspicuous if she took them out.
"Why buy a toothbrush for an old woman like me? You three can just have one. An old woman doesn't need to care about beauty."
Holding the brush handed over by Xiaoqi, Wang Po smiled with wrinkles all over her face. She said that she had not chosen the wrong person. After this girl made money, the first thing she would do was to help improve the family.
"Mom, this isn't about beauty, it's about hygiene. Brush your teeth. We don't have to worry about getting sick from what we eat."
Meng Qidi took the things in her hand to the kitchen, thinking that the old lady would scold her for wasting money.
Seeing her daughter-in-law enter the room, Wang Po gently scolded, "Ling Xiao, why are you letting Xiao Qi spend money? It's not easy for her to earn money, you pay!"
Ling Xiao was helpless, "Mom, our family's passbook is with Xiaoqi. I don't have the money. She bought it to show her filial piety to you."
"What about yours?" Grandma Wang snorted. "How dare you, a grown man, spend your wife's money? She manages the money, but you probably squandered all the money in the family."
There is no electricity in the village, so buying so many electrical appliances would be a waste.
"Mom...why do I feel like you dislike me?"
Ling Xiao had a smile in his eyes as he gently crushed the dried kudzu powder in his hands.
He was surprised that this thing could actually be sold for money. Xiao Qi actually sold it for more than twenty yuan today.
You know, there are really a lot of these things in the back mountain. It's a pity that his legs are not good, otherwise he could take her to dig a lot of them.
It will probably take others a year or two to figure out what the kudzu powder that Xiaoqi washes is, but it tastes really good.
"What do you think? I hate it."
"I dislike my uncle too. He can't even braid his hair. He's so stupid." Ling Cheng wrinkled his nose and touched the pigtails his aunt had just tied for him, unable to let go.
"Yes, your aunt is much better than him. Little Orange is now a little fairy, so beautiful!"
The old lady couldn't help laughing. Ever since she married her daughter-in-law, she felt that her face had more wrinkles.
Three people were arguing at the door, and in the kitchen, Meng Qidi quickly took out a small bag of cotton candy from the space and poured it together with the ones she bought today.
The flour is not easy to take, so I will pour some in tomorrow when I use it. Otherwise it will be too conspicuous and Ling Xiao will easily notice something is wrong.
After putting everything in order, Meng Qidi took out the money and counted it. Apart from the money for buying flour and sugar, she still had twenty yuan in her hand. This was today's net profit, which was not bad.
You have to know that those people working in meat processing factories only earn 20 or 30 yuan a year, and those who earn work points can earn less than 100 yuan a year.
However, she still had to go to the mountains in the afternoon to see if she could get some game, stew it in the evening, and make meat buns tomorrow. In addition to making money from selling it, she could also improve the food at home.
Although the Ling family received Ling Xiao's allowance, they still ate rice, but the dishes were not greasy at all. Ling Xiao and Xiao Chengzi needed nutrition to grow, and there was also himself and the old lady, so it was impossible for them not to eat some meat.
After lunch, as soon as Meng Qidi mentioned this, the old lady objected, "It's too dangerous for you to go to the mountains alone."
"Mom, I don't go deep. I won't go where no one goes." Meng Qidi said.
"Well, if Ling Xiao's legs were fine, he could go with you. If my eyes were fine, I could keep you company."
Meng Qidi was helpless. "I'm really not afraid. I'm near the bamboo forest. If anything happens, just shout loudly and you'll be able to hear me."
After persuading the old lady and saying something to Ling Xiao, Meng Qidi went into the mountains with a small hoe and a hatchet, carrying a bamboo basket on her back.
She dug up a lot of kudzu roots first, but was afraid that the backpack would not be able to hold them, so she tied them up and put a lot of them into the space. She would take them out when she was ready to leave the bamboo forest. She only put a few large pieces in the backpack.
There are many wild fruits in the mountains in late spring. Meng Qidi picked a lot of mulberries, wild cherries, wild plums and other wild fruits and wrapped them carefully with oil paper.
He even dug up a lot of wild fruit seedlings and put them into the space, thinking of taking them back and planting them on the shore to give the little girl some snacks.
After walking around for more than half an hour, Meng Qidi didn't encounter any pheasants or rabbits. She was a little discouraged. Thinking that she could sell the buns for a good price tomorrow, she didn't want to go back early.
She thought that she could make some money by selling it these days while no one was paying attention, so that she could buy cement to make a handrail on the cement bridge, otherwise it would be too unsafe.
Thinking about the sweet taste of fish soaked in Yuquan water, if she used fish soaked in Yuquan water to fish rabbits, pheasants, etc., wouldn't she get twice the result with half the effort?
But what kind of fishing method should I use?
Meng Qidi glanced at the basket, and then her eyes lit up. There was still a little cooked kudzu soup in her space. Maybe she could give it a try!
Meng Qidi made a small bowl of kudzu soup. Fearing that it would not attract the rabbits, she added a drop of Yuquan water and stirred it.
He put the bowl beside the weeds, put away the backpack, and squatted in the dark with the hatchet in his hand.
Maybe it really worked. In half an hour, two pheasants came over. She quickly threw the knife away. The pheasants struggled for a few times and died...
As soon as she mentioned the pheasant, she heard some noise nearby, so she quickly put the pheasant into the space and hid quickly.
"Hum, hum..."
The animal's humming sounds were getting closer and closer. Meng Qidi, who was hiding behind a tree, changed her expression slightly. Having lived in the mountains for decades, she was particularly familiar with this sound.
Oh no, instead of attracting the rabbit, we attracted the wild boar!
A wild boar is not a creature she can deal with with just a blade.
Just as she was about to hide in the space, she caught a glimpse of someone running towards her from a distance, and she stopped dead in her tracks...
Damn it!
It’s not convenient to go in now…
"Comrade! Run! There's a wild boar!"
