Chapter 12: Fu Bi Ye

Liu Mingyuan had made up his mind and Liu Yinyin couldn't persuade him at all.

Sighing softly, she said to him, "Third brother, I'm going to cook. You can have dinner here later."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Mingyuan to refuse, Liu Yinyin went straight into the house.

Liu Mingyuan: “…”

There was some braised small fish left over from lunch, so Liu Yinyin fried another dish of leeks and eggs and another dish of Chinese cabbage with garlic.

Six wild vegetable steamed buns were steamed. The buns were bigger than those steamed at Liu's house. Liu Mingyuan should be full after eating four.

Liu Mingyuan came in and was shocked when he saw the dishes on the table: "Sister, are you not going to live anymore?"

What kind of family is this? How can they eat like this? How can they live like this?

Liu Yinyin glanced at him and said as she put the dishes in order, "I exchanged the small mixed fish from Xiaoman, and the other dishes were brought by my mother this morning. It didn't cost much."

"You can't eat it like that. Look at all these dishes, they are so greasy. How much oil did you use?" Liu Mingyuan grumbled, "And this bowl of fried leeks and eggs, there must be three or four eggs in it. There's no need for the two of us to eat so much."

The Liu family only put three eggs in the scrambled eggs when they had dinner.

Liu Yinyin was so upset that she picked up an egg with her chopsticks and put it in his bowl, and asked, "Are the eggs delicious?"

"That's nonsense! How can eggs not taste good?" Country people rarely eat meat throughout the year.

Eggs are the only vegetable they can eat on a regular basis, and no one doesn't like eggs.

Liu Yinyin said without hesitation: "That's it, if it tastes good, just eat more."

"But..." Liu Mingyuan frowned, "This is not how life should be. We need to save money and save the eggs to exchange for money. Otherwise, what will we do in the future?"

"Don't worry, brother. I know what I'm doing. Money is earned, not saved." Liu Yinyin is not worried about not making money.

Liu Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "We country folks spend our days working in the fields. How can we ever earn money?"

Jobs in the city are very scarce, and those country folks can't even get a temporary job.

Liu Yinyin hesitated for a while and asked, "Brother, do you want to make money?"

"Who doesn't want to make money? But where is the chance..." Liu Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his voice and asked, "You're not thinking about that, are you? That's not okay."

Now people are not allowed to trade privately.

Liu Yinyin blushed and said, "Brother, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about the big fair the day after tomorrow!"

If she really wanted to go to the city to do business, she would go there secretly alone and would not dare to drag Liu Mingyuan into it.

Country people also have needs. When farmers are free, there are big markets on the first and fifteenth days of every month. At the markets, they can exchange what they need.

This is not considered speculation.

"It's a big market." Liu Mingyuan said disappointedly, "What can we sell? We can only exchange some eggs for money."

Grain cannot be sold, and the villagers already have all other food and daily necessities at home. Apart from eggs, there is nothing else that can be sold.

Liu Yinyin didn't know what she was thinking, so she said to him, "Brother, come with me to the market the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow...you and my brother come to my house after work. I need your help with something. Oh, and bring me two basins for washing vegetables."

She doesn't have enough basins at home.

"What are you doing?" The girl was mysterious and Liu Mingyuan was confused for a moment.

"You'll know tomorrow." Liu Yinyin didn't say much now.

Although Liu Mingyuan didn't know what she was up to, he still promised her that he would ask Brother Liu to come over to help tomorrow.

The next morning, Liu Yinyin got up early, had breakfast and went up the mountain.

This time they were not going to pick wild vegetables. When they got to the mountain, Liu Yinyin started picking leaves!

What are you doing?

These are not ordinary leaves, but rotten leaf, which she discovered recently when she went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

When Liu Yinyin was a child, she ate the magical tofu made by her grandmother using fubi leaves.

But in the original owner's memory, she had never eaten this kind of tofu.

So, she didn't know about other places, but in Liujia Village and the surrounding villages, no one knew how to make the magical tofu.

This hot summer is the best time to eat the delicious tofu, so Liu Yinyin came up with the idea of ​​selling the delicious tofu.

The day after tomorrow there will be a big market. She will make a batch of magical tofu and sell it at the market. It will cost two cents a bowl, which is not expensive. I think some people will spend money to try its flavor.

Even if business is not good, it doesn’t matter, because it doesn’t cost much to make the magical tofu anyway.

Moreover...Liu Yinyin's main purpose is not to make money, but to promote the magic tofu.

There will be a famine next year, and she has no influence and is powerless to change anything.

But, after all, the magical tofu is edible, and I hope it can be of some help and allow everyone to save some food.

In order to pick the rotten leaves, Liu Yinyin brought a large backpack.

Only after she had filled the backpack with rotten maidenhair leaves, did she go down the mountain carrying the backpack.

Fu Bi Ye washed the leaves clean and waited for Brother Liu and others to come and help in the evening, as Liu Yinyin was unable to handle it alone.

Moreover, the weather was so hot that if she made the magical tofu during the day, she was afraid that it would go bad by tomorrow.

After packing up, Liu Yinyin didn't go out. She made a cup of red date water, moved a chair and sat in the yard to enjoy the breeze.

Although life is a bit hard, there is no pressure to make a living or make money, and I just think about what to eat and drink every day.

Liu Yinyin, who came from the future, is quite satisfied with this kind of life.

At around ten o'clock, Liu Xiaoman came to the door with a bucket full of things.

"Aunt, come and take a look. Do you want some of these fish and shrimps?" Liu Xiaoman was sweating profusely, but she was very happy in her heart.

He ate a piece of White Rabbit Toffees last night. It was so fragrant and sweet! He couldn't bear to eat more. Such delicious food should be saved and eaten slowly.

Liu Yinyin glanced down and nodded with satisfaction: "Of course I want it."

After saying that, Liu Yinyin went to get a scale to weigh it.

Today's fish and shrimp weighed three pounds and four ounces. Liu Yinyin calculated it to be three and a half pounds. Together with yesterday's half a pound, it was exactly four candies.

Then he said, "I have to go to the big market in the village tomorrow. If you have anything else to bring, please bring it in the evening. If not... forget it."

The little guy is so energetic, I wonder how long those small fish and shrimps in the river can sustain him.

"Then I'll come over later tomorrow." Liu Xiaoman said interestedly.

He is very busy now. He sells the fish and shrimps he caught in the morning to Liu Yinyin. He is also busy in the afternoon as he has to feed the chickens at home.

If Liu Xiaoman does nothing, his father will beat him again!

Okay, as long as he doesn't feel tired, Liu Yinyin will not refuse anything that comes.

I sold two kilograms of small fish and shrimp to the system, and the remaining one kilogram and four ounces...
