After getting the money and food coupons, Ling Xiao was pushed away by Ling Jinming. Meng Qidi wiped the kudzu vines and soaked them in water.
Ling Xiao had turned the mosquito net into a filter, which saved her a lot of trouble. She washed it twice in a row, just like washing sweet potato starch, before stopping.
After placing the two basins of rice water in a cool place, Meng Qidi said something to Wang Po and went to the back mountain.
Knowing the place, she rushed back before lunch.
After lunch, she planted the vines in a small piece of wasteland in the west, and watered them with well water diluted with Yuquan water.
When Ling Xiao came back, Meng Qidi was taking Ling Cheng to play around by the pond at the door.
"How much did you sell?" Meng Qidi washed her hands and pulled the little girl up.
"Guess." Ling Xiao said mysteriously.
Meng Qidi rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you can't guess, just tell the truth."
Ling Xiao hooked his finger at her and said, "Come closer."
Meng Qidi bent down speechlessly, "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on?"
"Stretch out your hand."
Meng Qidi stretched out her hand suspiciously, "Don't give me a purse."
That was how he had dismissed her last time.
"bawl."
Ling Xiao put the things in Meng Qidi's hand.
When she saw what was in her palm, Meng Qidi almost threw it away, "Why did you buy this?"
"On the way back, I saw someone selling it on the road, so I bought it. It's alive. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Meng Qidi put it on her hand with disdain, "It's old, hehe."
This thing will have to be returned to him when they divorce. She doesn't want it. There is so much gold in the space.
"They are not old ones. They were sold in the gold shop before. After the chaos, the owner and his family were demoted. So, they secretly took some out to exchange for money."
"How much? You're not going to exchange it for a pheasant, are you?" Meng Qidi shook her hand. The gold bracelet was not big, but looked very beautiful.
She suddenly stopped and looked at him in surprise, "Three pieces of game in exchange?"
Gold is extremely valuable in later generations.
"Don't worry, you won't lose anything. There are more. They are all for you. I'm sorry that I didn't give you a dowry when you got married."
Ling Xiao took out two silver bracelets and a gold necklace and handed them to her.
Meng Qidi took it and twitched her lips. She wanted to sue him for taking advantage of the situation, but she didn’t know if it was possible…
"Have you bought the mosquito net?" Meng Qidi remembered something important and asked hurriedly.
"My uncle definitely didn't buy it. He came back empty-handed."
Ling Cheng stared at Ling Xiao, not even thinking of buying her something delicious. She was just waiting to see where her uncle would get the mosquito net from. Humph, bad guy!
"It's at your uncle Jin Ming's place. He'll deliver it to you right away, along with your favorite snacks."
Ling Xiao patted his niece helplessly, afraid that Meng Qidi would think he was taking advantage of others, so he hurried to explain.
"He only asked for a rabbit, a gold bracelet and a gold necklace, which I bought with the money I earned from selling the pheasants."
"Then I'll go to Uncle Jin Ming's house to get it." Upon hearing that he had bought her some delicious food, the little girl excitedly ran towards the village.
After watching the little girl run across the stone bridge, Meng Qidi retracted her gaze and squeezed the jewelry in her hand, "What a waste to buy this for me. Don't you have food or drink at home?"
She finally discovered that this man was very generous and compassionate.
The price of gold and silver was very low at that time, especially for the gold and silver in the hands of some people. They dared not take it out, otherwise it would be capitalism, unless they had no other choice.
He must have been reluctant to buy it...
"I went to the town's newspaper office today to find a copywriting job. Don't worry, I won't let the family go hungry."
Since he wants to keep Meng Qidi, he can't just live on that subsidy. He must have the confidence to keep her.
"Your leg isn't healed yet, you're not allowed to go!"
Meng Qidi looked at him with the jewelry in her hand. The town was so far away, and he had a bad leg, so it would be inconvenient for him to go back and forth. How would she treat his leg then? !
"If I don't go, will you support me?"
Ling Xiao was helpless, but he also knew that she was being mean to him for his own good.
"You're talking as if I can't afford to support you. Then you should just stay at home. I brought a lot of textbooks with me. You can read when you have nothing to do."
When the college entrance examination is resumed in the future, he can also take part in it. What if he is admitted to a military academy? In the future, he can also study in a military academy and become a general or commander.
Ignoring Ling Xiao, Meng Qidi put the gold and silver into her pocket and stored them in her space. It would be bad if she lost them...
The mosquito net was quickly brought back by the little girl. Meng Qidi hung it in the old lady's room first, and then in her own room.
After all the trouble, Ling Xiao had already poured water under the tree and dug out the white lumps in the basin.
Seeing Meng Qidi coming out, he quickly asked, "How do we deal with this?"
"I'll take some away, and you can grind it all up, then put it in a dustpan to dry, just like making sweet potato flour and lily flour."
Seeing Ling Xiao was a little confused, Meng Qidi sighed, "Crush it first, but don't make it too fine."
Ling Xiao just had a bad leg, so Meng Qidi naturally didn't hesitate to order him around. After giving him the task, she went back to the house to cook.
Realizing there was something delicious, the little girl jumped in.
Ling Xiao chuckled and lowered his head to work.
Wang Po was relieved that her son and daughter-in-law got along well. Fortunately, she was a talkative person and did not listen to Meng Yuzhen's nonsense.
Xiaoqi is such a good girl, she doesn't look down on the elderly, the weak and the disabled in her family, and she is hardworking and capable...
Meng Qidi didn't cook in the evening. She cooked four bowls of transparent porridge with kudzu powder and added a spoonful of white sugar to each bowl.
Ling Cheng excitedly took out two bowls.
After finishing the porridge in her hand and filling her stomach, Meng Qidi poured the remaining powder into the pot, added water and stirred it. The stove was burning, and the water in the pot slowly boiled and soon became thick...
I added a few spoonfuls of sugar and tried the taste. It wasn't very sweet. The well water had been purified by Yuquan water and had a sweet taste.
Meng Qidi scooped up the kudzu soup with satisfaction and put it into a clean iron bucket.
"Why do you cook so much?" Ling Xiao brought in the bowl and asked curiously.
"Let it cool down. It will be useful in the morning. Are you guys full? This stuff won't fill you up. There are some roasted sweet potatoes in the oven."
As for the things, she planned to take them to the town at dawn tomorrow and sell them for breakfast. If she remembered correctly, the meat processing plant and the textile factory were in the same place in the town, and she should be able to make some money by selling them there.
"I'm full. We don't eat much at night either." Ling Xiao smiled and put the washed dishes into the cupboard.
"What are you going to do tomorrow morning? As long as it's not up the mountain, I'll accompany you."
Meng Qidi twitched her lips and said, "Let's not do it... It won't be good to embarrass you later..."
Embarrassed? Ling Xiao looked at her suspiciously, "Why do you think I'm embarrassed? So what are you going to do?"
Ling Xiao looked down at the pot of Kudzu soup and asked, "Are you planning to sell it?"
Meng Qidi smiled and said, "It's hard for you to speculate with me, so you'd better not do it. Just sleep well at home and wait for me to come back."
How can a public servant of the people break the law? Well, actually this is not speculation, it is just that I am oppressed by life and I am looking for a way out...
