Chapter 89 Plan
Uncle Liang and Zhang's main point was that they could criticize others but others couldn't criticize them. Xu Zhichun's words almost stung Zhang, who glared at her and shouted, "Xu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zeng Xiaoyan patted her chest lightly, "Ouch!" as if frightened. "Aunt Liang, we should always be reasonable when we talk, right?"
Zhang was furious: "Didn't you hear her cursing my Mingxiang? How could she be so vicious? She just can't stand to see our family doing well, right?"
Xu Zhichun's dark eyes were ablaze with fire. "It was my uncle who said it first. Aunt, if you want to curse, curse my uncle first."
"you!"
Uncle Liang sneered, "I was just trying to comfort you. You really don't know how to appreciate kindness. Forget it! You don't know what's going on in your own mind and you blame others. You'll know when the time comes, humph."
When the results come out, you'll be caught off guard and hit hard, you deserve it.
Liang Mingxuan was so touched that he looked at his sister-in-law eagerly and wanted to hug her.
He gently tugged at his sister-in-law's sleeve. When she looked over, she whispered, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Xu Zhichun smiled with relief and patted his shoulder gently: "Let's go home."
"Um."
It’s finally quiet, what a shame.
Xu Zhichun couldn't stand other people talking nonsense.
She humbly accepts suggestions and advice that are sincere and well-intentioned, but she will not tolerate those that are made with malicious intent.
When we returned to the village, it was still some time before the sun set.
Uncle Liang and his family of three hurried home, and Liang Mingliang and his wife sent Xu Zhichun and his wife to their doorstep.
Xu Zhichun smiled at Liang Mingliang and said, "I'll get up early tomorrow morning to make ice jelly. Brother Liang, please help me deliver it to the Lotus Restaurant early tomorrow morning."
It’s too late to make konjac tofu and konjac noodles. I’ll make them tomorrow and sell them the day after tomorrow. But I can still make ice jelly tomorrow morning.
Liang Mingliang nodded: "Okay, I'll come over as usual?"
"OK!"
The tea in the teapot was cold, but drinkable. Xu Zhichun added a bowl of brown sugar water and said, "Take a couple of sips to calm yourself down. Go back to your room and rest. I'll make dinner."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Liang Mingxuan was indeed exhausted. Once he returned to his warm and cozy home, the tension he had been holding on to subconsciously relaxed, and he felt even more exhausted. He took the brown sugar water and drank it obediently. After feeling a little more energetic, he returned to his room.
Xu Zhichun cooked rice and boiled water, coaxed the chickens back, and quickly caught a sturdy little hen with catkins when they were not paying attention. He nodded with satisfaction and went to his aunt Zhuer's house to ask her to help kill the chicken.
There were more eggs in her warehouse than she could eat in several lifetimes, so there was no need to keep the hens to lay eggs.
Whichever rooster or hen is caught is the one and can be killed and eaten without any discrimination.
Aunt Zhuer smiled when she heard this and said, "Are you going to give Mingxuan some nourishment?"
"Yes, it is."
"You are such a great sister-in-law. When Mingxuan grows up, he will be filial to you like a real mother."
"My Mingxuan is a filial son."
"That's true, haha. How did Mingxuan do in the exam? He should have done very well."
"I think it's good. Let's wait anyway."
On the one hand, I have confidence in my own children, but on the other hand, I feel that I should be more humble. It is very difficult.
"Well, just wait for the results to come out. Mingxuan will definitely do well!"
"Haha, thanks to my aunt for her good words!"
Xu Zhichun smiled. When she was modest, Aunt Zhuer started to praise her decisively.
Aunt Zhu'er was chatting and laughing with her, but she didn't delay at all. She killed the chicken quickly and skillfully. She collected the chicken blood in a small bowl and put the killed chicken into the wooden barrel.
Pour boiling water into it to scald it, making it easier to pluck the hair.
Aunt Zhu'er couldn't help but admire: "You raise these chickens very well. They are so strong and fat."
"I specifically picked the big ones!" Xu Zhichun smiled.
How could it not be strong and fat? Every day, they feed themselves corn kernels, chicken feed, chopped vegetable leaves mixed with fish bone meal, and wheat bran and rice bran. Not only are they strong and fat, they're also very willing to lay eggs.
"I'll bring a bowl to you when it's ready. Don't be too busy eating dinner yet."
Aunt Zhu'er said hurriedly, "No, no, save it for Mingxuan and the others to eat. It won't go bad if you cook it and keep it until tomorrow."
"We can keep it for tomorrow. It's such a big chicken, don't worry. Why don't you let my aunt kill a chicken and give it to us?"
Aunt Zhuer laughed and could only thank him and say okay.
There are only her and her husband in their family. There are no elders or sisters-in-law. Whether it is killing chickens, buying meat, or having other delicious food, as long as they want to send it out, they don't have to worry about anything.
That's why Xu Zhichun said this.
If you have a big family, it would not be appropriate to say this.
Aunt Zhu'er went back home, and Xu Zhichun blanched the chicken and chopped it into pieces. He then took out half a freshly slaughtered chicken from the warehouse, leaving out the head, neck, wings, and claws. They could easily pass it off as a real chicken.
Thinking of the child's pale face after taking an exam the day before, Xu Zhichun not only soaked the small shiitake mushrooms, took out some wolfberries and lily slices, but also found some Gastrodia elata.
Let’s stew them together later.
I left a small half to make braised chicken with white radish.
After the food was stewed in the pot, Xu Zhichun went to feed the chickens and pigs. He also took the rice washing water and vegetable washing water that he had specially left to the yard and watered the hydrangeas, roses, hibiscus, chrysanthemum seedlings that were growing wildly.
She specially used wooden sticks and bamboo branches to enclose a small area at the foot of the east wall of the backyard, where her precious tomato seedlings and the strawberry sprouts that had just sprouted were thriving.
She couldn't help but look at it at least twice every day, and she remembered every extra leaf clearly.
In a few months, you will have delicious tomatoes and strawberries to eat.
After preparing the meal and bringing back a large bowl for Aunt Zhu'er and the others, Xu Zhichun went to call Liang Mingxuan to get up for dinner.
Liang Mingxuan was still a little dazed, but when he opened his eyes and saw her, he called out "Sister-in-law!" He was so obedient that it made people's maternal instincts surge.
"Hurry up and eat, then take a shower and go to sleep."
"Um."
The next morning, Liang Mingliang went into the city alone to deliver ice jelly. Xu Zhichun planned to dig more konjac with Aunt Zhuer and Zeng Xiaoyan, and make konjac tofu and konjac noodles early that morning.
The first excavated area has been completely dug up. The new location is a little further away and not as large. It will take at most eleven or twelve days before we have to move to another location.
Fortunately, there is really a lot of this stuff in the mountains, and about 100 kilograms of konjac tofu and konjac noodles are made in a day, so the raw materials needed are not too much. Xu Zhichun also takes out the ready-made konjac flour from the warehouse every day to tamper with it.
But it doesn’t matter. Xu Zhichun had already made up his mind that when the day comes that the crops can no longer be found in the wild, he should be able to continue the harvest from his own fields.
Even if it is not possible yet, the time is almost right. At worst, we can talk to a few villagers and ask them to go into the mountains to look for it, and then buy it from them.
There is strength in numbers, someone will always be able to find it.
