After cleaning up, Song Yuehua realized that she had quite a lot of belongings.
There was a lot of food, including 45 kilograms of bacon, 22 kilograms of kudzu root powder, 10 kilograms of dried mushrooms, 2 kilograms of black fungus, 45 kilograms of chestnuts, and 20 kilograms of dried kudzu root.
All these dry goods were moved into the cellar, hung up or wrapped up.
There was still a can of lard, half a jar of salt, about half a pound of brown sugar left, half a can of soy sauce, a lot of five-spice seasonings I bought later, and half a can of vinegar.
These are all placed in the cabinet in the kitchen.
In the original house, except for the bamboo bed and door panels, everything else was moved away.
Taking advantage of the strong sunshine, Song Yuehua took out the old cotton from the bedding and dried it in the sun.
The 25 kilograms of new cotton that Song Yuehua bought originally were intended for making cotton-padded clothes. Some time ago, she took out 16 kilograms and made two large quilts.
The kang was too big, and the mattress would not be good if it was too thin or too small. The cotton from the old mattress had to be pulled out and dried again, and the mattress had to be sewn again.
When sleeping on the kang at night, the mattress has to be made as soon as possible.
The construction period was a bit tight, so Song Yuehua was drying the old cotton outside, Xiaoyu was responsible for taking care of Dabao and Xiaobao, and Xie Wenwu was cooking in the kitchen.
Xiaoyu and Grandma Wang had to sew the mattress before dark.
After the cotton was dried, Xiaoyu wanted to help Xiaoyu, but after getting her hand pricked several times, she gave up in disappointment.
"Xiaoyu, I will teach you how to read, and you can teach me how to sew clothes."
Xiaoyu was so envious when she saw Xiaoyu moving a needle up and down flexibly.
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I have only been learning for a short time, so I dare not teach others casually. We can learn from grandma together."
“No, no!”
Xie Yu waved her hands quickly, "I have such rough hands, I can only ask you for advice. If nothing else, I just want to be able to sew some clothes for myself."
Xiaoyu was curious for a moment, "Why don't you learn from your aunt?"
well……
Xie Yu sighed and said, "My mother is lucky. She can't do needlework. Usually, my father does all the sewing work at home. We also pay people in the village to make clothes for us."
"I don't have any other requirements. I will be satisfied if I can make some clothes and sew some quilts."
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment.
Xiaoyu has also seen Xie Yu's father. He looks big and strong. No one would disbelieve you if you said he could kill pigs.
But if you say he can sew clothes, I can’t imagine what the picture would be like.
Granny Wang and Xiaoyu worked until the evening and finally finished sewing the mattress. Then they had to stuff cotton into it, and after that they had to fix the stitches.
Song Yuehua held Dabao in her left hand and Xiaobao in her right hand. The three of them watched the two of them busying around.
The mattress was finally laid on the kang after dark.
The kang is large, and the four siblings can sleep on one end. Whether they sleep horizontally or vertically, there is plenty of space.
That night, Xiaoyu tossed and turned, a little excited, "Sister, is this house ours?"
"It's ours."
"The bathtub is ours too?"
"It's ours, too."
Xiaoyu still couldn't believe it, "How did I end up living in such a nice house? I must be dreaming!"
Song Yuehua smiled evilly and said, "Then I'll let you see if it's a dream or not."
Then he tickled Xiaoyu's waist twice, and Xiaoyu laughed out loud because of the tickle.
The two sisters played for a while, and then stopped for fear of waking up the twins.
In addition to the 10 taels of silver from Grandma Wang, the family had a total of 61 taels of silver. With the silver in hand, they had to buy the necessary things as soon as possible.
There will be a wedding banquet at home tomorrow, so this morning the sisters packed their backpacks and got on Master Ma’s ox cart.
The villagers on the carriage couldn't help but ask how the house was built.
Song Yuehua replied with a smile, "We will set up a banquet at home tomorrow. When the time comes, please come and have a drink."
No matter how much more you ask, no one dares to ask.
It wasn't just Mrs. Song who was frightened by Song Yuehua's arrow that day.
The meat buns in the county cost two cents each. Song Yuehua bought four, two each for her and Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu was full after eating one bun. Song Yuehua broke the bun in half, stuffed it into her mouth and said, "Eat more. You have a lot to carry today, and you won't be able to get home without strength."
The two of them went to the iron shop first and ordered a large pot for boiling water. Taking a bath requires at least two buckets of hot water, so the capacity of the pot cannot be small.
Then we ordered a small pot for hot pot.
The previous pickaxe was lost in the mountains, so I bought a new pickaxe and an axe.
The total amount is 8 taels of silver.
Song Yuehua was a regular customer of the iron shop, so Blacksmith Zhao asked casually, "Do you want it delivered to your door?"
Door-to-door delivery of course.
Song Yuehua likes shop owners who are considerate, and Zhao the blacksmith also likes customers who are generous with their money.
Blacksmith Zhao was so happy that he chatted a few words.
Only then did Song Yuehua realize that the village bamboo craftsman was actually the father-in-law of blacksmith Zhao.
There are bamboo craftsmen, blacksmiths, and everyone in my family is a craftsman. I really envy them.
After leaving the iron shop, Song Yuehua bought a big door lock and three small door locks at the grocery store.
In the future, when you store food at home, it will be safer to lock it.
You also need to buy bowls and chopsticks. If there are guests at home, you have to go out and borrow bowls and chopsticks, which is very inconvenient.
For now, buy 8 large bowls.
It is inconvenient to go out in winter, so you need to stock up on rice and grains, 100 kilograms of white rice, 120 kilograms of corn, and 50 kilograms of white flour.
Also add some seasonings, 10 pounds of salt, 1 large jar of wine, 5 pounds of soy sauce, 5 pounds of vinegar, 10 pounds of brown sugar, 2 large jars, and 2 small jars.
Finally, I bought a large oilcloth.
I paid 13 taels of silver when I checked out.
If you buy a lot of things, the store will naturally be happy to deliver the goods to your door.
While the shop was still preparing, Song Yuehua took Xiaoyu to a bookstore.
