There is no need to put a lot of salt in these pickled vegetables. Some people don't even put a spoonful of salt.

As long as the pickled vegetables are kept for a long time, they will naturally produce a salty taste.

Chen Xuanxuan has studied chemistry, so she knows very well that the reason why those vegetables that have been kept for a long time will produce a salty taste is because they are nitrites!

Think about it carefully, these poor families in ancient times couldn't even eat proper salt, and could only consume nitrites every day.

As for calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and other things, these people don't even need to think about it.

Eggs are rare and precious things.

As for fats and oils, families with not much at home can't even eat a bite during festivals.

All of these people were as thin as ribs, with protruding ribs, high cheekbones, pale faces and thin bodies, and they were severely malnourished.

And the girl in front of them, Ma Daya, was a typical example of this.

She looked extremely thin.

When the breeze blew over her, the clothes she wore swayed.

Ma Daya looked really pitiful, and Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but have a side-eye on her at this time.

"Second son's wife, your teeth are not good, so you have to eat something soft in the future. I made small bread, but it was still a little too hard. From now on, we will stew a pot of porridge for every meal every day. Let those of us with bad teeth eat it."

Yu heard it and responded happily.

Ma Daya blushed and nodded gently.

She was not good at speaking. She wanted to say something nice. But when the words came to her lips, she just couldn't say them.

Seeing this, Jiang Huigu couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

...

Chen Xuanxuan said that she wanted to have a chat, but in fact she just wanted to sit with them and talk, to close the distance between each other.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Chen Xuanxuan packed up the things on the plate and stood up slowly.

"You are all tired, go back and rest."

"Mother-in-law, just listen to me and go to my daughter's place to sleep first! After all, you are all older people, you still need to rest more."

Yu listened and accepted her kindness.

She had just eaten some snacks on the plate and drank the hot tea with the bowl of hawthorn cake. Now, her stomach is bulging. She wanted to move, but it was impossible.

After Chen Xuanxuan led her mother-in-law out of the main hall, Jiang Huigu glanced at Ma Daya, and then she went to the east wing.

She and her husband now sleep in the east wing.

Before she got married, she heard from the matchmaker Yuan that the Gu family would build a new house for them. She thought it was a lie from the Gu family.

After all, how much money can a countryman have?

Many countrymen have to spend all their money to marry a daughter-in-law, not to mention building a few new houses for their sons and daughters-in-law.

Jiang Huigu never expected that when she got married, there would be such a bright new house waiting for her.

After crossing the threshold and entering the east wing, Jiang Huigu quickly closed the door.

It was pitch black last night, so she didn't look carefully. This morning, she didn't take a good look because she was in a hurry.

Now, she has served tea to her parents-in-law, met her uncle and aunt, and returned to her own place. She can finally take a good look.

In her opinion, this east room is more spacious and brighter than her grandfather's place.

The roof is all covered with big tiles.

The earthen walls of this house are all bricks fired in the Jiang family brick kiln.

Even such a good house can be divided into two or three rooms if it is separated by wooden boards.

Thinking that she will not have to worry about where the child will live after she has a child, Jiang Huigu sat down on the new bed, thinking about the future with a smile on her face.

Soon, she rummaged around in her pocket again and carefully took out the gift her mother-in-law had given her.

She loved the large purse embroidered with lotus flowers.

The material of the purse was silky and smooth, with a glossy sheen, as if it were made of silk. The lotus embroidered on it was pink in color, with emerald green branches, and looked just like the real thing.

After carefully opening the purse, she saw the red headband at a glance.

"What is this?"

After receiving such a bright red thing, Jiang Huigu's face was full of questions.

Jiang Huigu always knew that the brighter the color of the fabric, the more ordinary people could not afford it.

Because the dye was too expensive.

Dyes sold in many places are not sold by kilogram or barrel. Most of them are sold by ounce.

Unable to figure out what this red thing is used for, Jiang Huigu had to put it aside. She began to play with the round fan with exquisite workmanship and beautiful colors carefully.

Jiang Huigu dared to guarantee that if she took this thing back to her parents' home, her sisters-in-law would be jealous to death.

The Jiang family is not a particularly wealthy family.

As early as a few decades ago, they could still live lavishly. However, Jiang Huigu's father and generation were not motivated and could not even pass the examination to become a scholar. Her grandfather had to put all his hopes on his grandchildren.

In order to support his grandchildren's studies, he racked his brains every day and calculated carefully, wishing that one penny would be used as a hundred pennies.

But the men in the Jiang family are a group of people who are particularly concerned about their reputation.

So, ... this led to many things in the Jiang family having to be solved by the women.

For example, buying rice and vegetables in Tongzhen.

In order to save more money, Jiang Huigu's mother and sisters-in-law would ask around about the prices of various things.

What kind of fabric to buy, what kind of clothes to cut, how to mend old clothes so that people can't tell the pudding... These are all the knowledge they have studied.

Jiang Huigu dared to guarantee that if she took the meeting gift given to her by her mother-in-law back and showed it to her parents and sisters-in-law, they would definitely estimate the price of these things in their hearts.

Take this small and exquisite round fan for example, it must be worth hundreds of coins...

and this purse..., how can ordinary people afford it?

Even if they can afford it, they are reluctant to use it.

These things are unexpectedly good, so Jiang Huigu coveted them for a long time.

Just when she was thinking about what her parents-in-law would ask her to bring back when she returned to her parents' home in three days, Chen Xuanxuan, who had already returned to her bedroom, hurriedly went shopping on the Qiongheihei app.

She has three shopping opportunities today.

If she doesn't use the last opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste?

After buying a bottle of "Black President Toothpaste" from the store, Chen Xuanxuan hurriedly brought water into the house and started brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush.

While Chen Xuanxuan was brushing her teeth, she was thinking that she must brush her teeth every day!

Otherwise, she might end up like the girl surnamed Ma, who would lose her teeth after eating something hard.

Thinking of the second daughter-in-law who had lost one of her front teeth, yellow teeth, black gaps between teeth, and particularly uneven teeth... Chen Xuanxuan felt that if the second daughter-in-law went back to her previous society, it would cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan just to fill her teeth.
