Farmers always have endless farm work to do.

All day today, Gu Yanzhang has been sitting by the stove with his children, warming himself by the fire while slowly weaving straw sandals with straw.

Straw sandals are cheap things.

Every farmer in their area knows how to make them.

Including some poor people in the town, they also like to make a pair of straw sandals for themselves every two or three days.

Therefore, people in this place have never heard of anyone spending so much money to buy themselves a pair of straw sandals.

They are not the prodigal sons of rich families. Those poor people who can't make money are eager to take a penny and spend it as if it were ten pennies!

Gu Yanzhang has already woven a pair of straw sandals in the morning.

Gu Yanzhang put a lot of effort into it.

He made this pair of straw sandals very carefully. Especially the soles of the sandals, he even used some straw to make them higher and thicker.

After having a very full meal this time, Gu Yanzhang worked even harder.

"Wife, try this shoe first. See if it fits you?"

Seeing the sandals that were probably only size 36, Chen Xuanxuan thought for a moment and went to wash her face and feet first. After drying her feet, she started to try on the shoes.

Feeling that the shoes fit her well, Chen Xuanxuan smiled and said, "Not bad."

"I think your craftsmanship is pretty good."

Gu Yanzhang was very happy to hear Chen Xuanxuan's praise.

He said with a red face, "Wife, as long as you like it."

Then, he immediately lowered his head and began to do his work seriously.

Seeing that the adults and children in the family all had their own things to do, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and could only sit aside quietly and began to peel the taro to be eaten tomorrow and then put it into the earthenware pot.

After adding half a basin of water, Chen Xuanxuan put a pound of soybeans.

The soybeans have been exposed to the sun and must be boiled carefully. Otherwise, the soybeans are too hard and difficult to digest, which is not good for the intestines and stomachs of the two elderly people and can easily cause inflammation.

The earthenware pot has been placed on the stove. Next to the stove, there is a medicine jar. This thing was picked up by Qiao from the river when she went to the town before.

It used to be broken.

Later, it was Chen Xuanxuan's father-in-law Gu Yu'an who came up with a solution. He used loess mud to repair it, and then placed it by the fire every day to slowly repair it.

If you really go to the county town to buy such a medicine jar, it will cost a full eight cents!

With such a repaired medicine jar at home, it is much more convenient for the family to drink hot water in winter.

...

Chen Xuanxuan felt that she had done a lot of things today, but she also felt that she seemed to have done nothing today. She

was really too tired. After Chen Xuanxuan relaxed, she leaned against the mud wall and fell asleep in a daze.

After she fell asleep, Gu Yanzhang, who was sitting by the stove, quietly walked over and gently carried her to his side.

After letting her sleep in his arms, he held her waist while carefully making shoes.

When Chen Xuanxuan woke up early the next morning, she found that she had slept in the main room. Lying next to her was her cheap husband of this life.

Chen Xuanxuan stared at this man who was not very familiar with her for a long time.

After she felt that she had adjusted her mentality, Chen Xuanxuan suddenly remembered that she still had a golden finger - the Qiongheihei app.

She had not used it for three shopping opportunities!

By the way, she also had to click on "Earn gold coins every day" and "Receive cash red envelopes every day".

After receiving 20 gold coins, Chen Xuanxuan received another 0.85 yuan red envelope.

Feeling that this cash red envelope was pretty good, Chen Xuanxuan started searching for food in a good mood.

Yesterday she bought 100g of soy milk powder, 250g of expired flour, and 200g of pearl rice. It cost her 30 cents in total.

Today, she wants to buy something more cost-effective.

Seeing that the fourth-best-selling product on the all-green page in front of her was a salted fish with black beans called "Licorice Bamboo Brand", Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but frown.

"Huh? Why does this brand give people a strong sense of familiarity?"

Just when she was wondering, her hands still paid unconsciously.

This thing is sold in bags of 3 jin.

A bag of 3 jin is 25 yuan.

A bag of 5 jin is 40 yuan.

A 10-jin bag is 75.

No matter which specification it is, Chen Xuanxuan knows that she can't afford it.

So, she still ordered a 3-jin bag, which is 25 yuan in total.

After she ordered it, the Qiongheihei app started to tell her, "Your balance is insufficient, please choose a trial package."

Then, she started to pop up a page for trial packages.

Chen Xuanxuan studied it carefully.

Seeing the "Licorice Bamboo Brand" black bean salted fish trial package here, it is a 200-gram bag. Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and spent another dime to buy this thing.

The life of farmers in ancient times was hard.

Throughout the year, they only ate meat once during the Chinese New Year.

It is a good deal to buy some salted fish with fermented black beans at this time.

Fish is a must-eat.

Besides, there is a lot of salt in salted fish.

After eating this, the family is at least stronger than before.

In ancient times, official salt was sold exclusively. The price was very high. Farmers in many places could not afford it, so they either bought private salt secretly or boiled it. If

they don’t eat salt for a long time, no matter how much they eat, their bodies will not be able to exert strength.

Thinking of her family, who didn’t know how long it had been since they had eaten salt, Chen Xuanxuan felt particularly sad in her heart.

Especially when she thought of her two parents-in-law, who were as thin as skeletons.

Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but sigh silently and shook her head gently.

After buying 200 grams of salted fish with fermented black beans, Chen Xuanxuan began to look for it seriously again.

She found that on the Qiongheihei app, the fifth place in the food category was a little brother of a famous brand, "Kang Shuaifu", and Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but be excited.

"Okay, this is good!"

"I must buy this!"

Chen Xuanxuan swore secretly in her heart whenever she thought of the familiar taste of instant noodles.

The Kang Shuaifu here is a box of 24 packs. The selling price is 36 yuan.

Chen Xuanxuan carefully calculated and found that on average, each pack is just over one yuan.

It's still worth it.

But Chen Xuanxuan knew in her heart that she didn't have that much money.

So, now she could only buy the trial package as before.

So, Chen Xuanxuan began to pay tentatively with trepidation.

After hearing the voice broadcast of the Qiongheihei app, "Your balance is insufficient, please choose a trial package", a new page popped up.

Seeing that the trial package of Kang Shuaifu was 128 grams per bag. It also included two bags of seasoning. One bag of salt and one bag of sauce.

Chen Xuanxuan was even happier.

Very good.
