Chapter 254 Very good (Part 1)
It is not possible to hire villagers at this time because they are busy collecting their own crops.
But if you hire people outside to help dig potatoes, you can tell the yield is extremely high just by looking at the potatoes.
One can imagine what kind of sensation this would cause once it became known to outsiders.
So if the news got out, Jiang Zhiluo would be even more worried.
But it would be too late for her, Old Madam Cui, Cui Qingci and Cui Hejin to harvest the crops alone.
She needs to think of a solution carefully.
Zhu trusted Jiang Zhiluo, and the villagers also trusted Jiang Zhiluo.
Zhu said, "Okay, then I'll tell the villagers this when I get back, and they'll harvest the wheat in a couple of days."
As Zhu said this, she hurried out.
Ke seemed to think of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Zhiluo, the villagers are thinking of harvesting in advance so that they can help you collect all the crops in the fields."
The villagers remembered the Cui family's kindness in helping them last time.
Then there is the valley deep in the mountains, which was also found with the help of Zhiluo. It is a good place, suitable for temporary residence. There are caves and water, and there are no wild animals around.
They were all grateful to Zhiluo in their hearts.
Everyone remembered the kindness and naturally wanted to do something to help the Cui family.
Otherwise they would feel guilty.
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment after hearing what Zhu said, but her heart felt warm.
The people of Donghe Village are simple and honest. The villagers are warm and kind. They know what is good and what is bad and know how to be grateful, which is pretty good.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's okay. Let's harvest the wheat in two days. It's just right. There's still time. I'll find a way."
"Just wait until everyone has finished harvesting the food and then come over to help."
Zhu nodded and said, "Okay!"
Then Zhu went to tell the villagers.
Cui Qingci came over and said, "Sister-in-law, I have the strength now and can help harvest the wheat."
Now it is summer, and after a month of recuperation, Cui Qingci is feeling much better.
Moreover, during this month, Cui Qingci not only took care of her health, but also worked with Jiang Zhiluo. Not only did she see and learn a lot, her mind also broadened.
And she found life in the village quite relaxing.
Jiang Zhiluo was wrapping soap in oil paper. Listening to Cui Qingci's words, she said, "No need. I have a way."
"Besides, you're still very thin now, and doing physical work will tire you out."
Cui Qingci looked down at her figure. In fact, she had been eating all kinds of delicious food made by her sister-in-law for the past month, and she ate a lot at every meal. She didn't understand why she didn't gain weight.
"I actually really want to experience the joy of harvesting grain."
When the Cui family lived in the capital, they also had their own farm.
Although she had never been to the village, she knew that the farmers were very happy when they harvested their crops every year.
She heard from her mother that potatoes had a high yield and were a crop specially planted by her sister-in-law. She also wanted to come and see them when the harvest was about to begin.
Mainly out of curiosity.
As she spoke, Cui Qingci stepped forward to help wrap the soap.
She knew it was soap, and she helped her sister-in-law make some more soap, which was all dried in the sun.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to the fields to work for a while while we harvest the wheat. But I have to tell you in advance that working outside in this weather can easily cause heatstroke."
It's summer now, and there are no fans or refrigerators here. The sun is very hot and it's easy to sweat if you stay outside for a while.
So there are few people on the streets during the day.
In the past, some elderly people would like to take their stools and sit under the big trees in the village to enjoy the cool air, but now these elderly people have moved to the valley, and there are fewer people in the village.
There's no watermelon or popsicles, but it's still really hot.
But even though it is hot, everyone is happy at this time because they can harvest wheat and grain soon.
This is very important to the villagers. Everyone feels at ease after harvesting the grain.
Cui Qingci looked at Jiang Zhiluo with trust and said, "I know my sister-in-law has a way to relieve the heat. Even if you have heatstroke, there is no need to worry."
Jiang Zhiluo was amused. "You believe me, but seriously, mung bean soup can relieve summer heat."
In the past, Cui Qingci had no idea about these crops and didn’t know how to distinguish them.
Now, following Jiang Zhiluo, I have learned to identify many crops and know how to cook many foods.
She now loves the process of cooking, especially making bread.
While making food, she feels peaceful and fulfilled.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "I see the weather is getting hot, and you don't have much of an appetite. I'm going to the town to sell soap later. After I sell the soap, I'll buy some mung beans and make some mung bean jelly."
"It's a good time to take out the preserved eggs, chop them up and mix them with some cold dishes."
Cui Qingci knew that preserved eggs were commonly known as changed eggs.
She was stunned, "Is the preserved egg pickled?"
She had heard her mother talk about it before, saying that her sister-in-law pickled it.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "I've been busy lately and haven't had time to make preserved eggs. They must have been pickled for so long. They're in the vat in the storage room. You can take them out, peel them, and eat them directly. But they usually taste better when mixed with vegetables and seasonings."
Cui Qingci showed an expectant look, "Sister-in-law, I'll go take a look then."
"Well, go take a look. By the way, take it out and clean the mud outside. I'll pack some and sell it at the restaurant."
I'm about to move to the mountains. I'll take advantage of this time to earn some extra money and buy some medicinal herbs to bring back to the valley. That way, I won't have to worry about hiding in the valley for a long time.
But we can’t stop Cui Qingci from taking medicine.
Through medicinal baths, acupuncture and drinking medicine, most of the deadly poison in Cui Qingci's body has been expelled, and her life is no longer in danger. However, there are still chronic poisons that must be expelled before she can recover.
Otherwise, if the medicinal materials were cut off, the chronic poison would spread to Cui Qingci's internal organs and would take her life.
So she must take the medicine continuously and get rid of it early, and everything will be fine.
There is no need to rush to take care of your body, because this is not life-threatening, you can just take your time to recuperate.
Cui Qingci nodded, took the basket into the house, and found the jar where the preserved eggs were kept.
In order to make it easier to identify things, labels are affixed to both the jars and the vats, indicating what they contain.
This makes it easier to find.
Cui Qingci understood what was going on at a glance. She found the big jar, opened the lid, and saw many duck eggs covered in mud inside.
She took them out carefully, filled a basket, and then took them to the yard. She peeled off the dry mud on the duck eggs and put them in a basin on the side. She would wash them later.
Cui Qingci worked slowly, filling one basket after another.
But there are still a lot of them in the tank.
Jiang Zhiluo wrapped up the soaps and put them in the backpack.
She used her time to make a lot of soaps, probably more than 200 soaps.
After finishing, she went to Cui Qingci and said, "Let's do these first and go to the town to sell them. If they are good, come back and clean the rest of the preserved eggs."
"good."
Cui Qingci has little experience in doing business, so she listens to her sister-in-law.
Jiang Zhiluo packed her things onto the ox cart and prepared to go to town.
Cui Qingci naturally followed along.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's so hot, you'll get a tan if you go out with me."
Cui Qingci shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, you are not afraid of the sun, and I am definitely not afraid of it either."
In fact, the more they got along, the more Cui Qingci liked Jiang Zhiluo. She enjoyed being with her and felt sorry for her.
My sister-in-law is busy with everything in and out of the house. She is the one who supports the family. No wonder my mother kept praising my sister-in-law when she woke up.
Isn’t it good, and very, very good?
