Chapter 14: Ignorant Foolish Woman
Before the big snow in winter.
It is the best time to pickle bacon.
The baby was well fed and lying in her cradle playing with her little bell.
“Ding-dong-dong…”
I looked up again at the clouds floating in the sky and the flocks of birds flying overhead from time to time.
The bird landed in her yard.
It stopped on the bare peach tree, "Chirp, chirp..."
Jiang Miaomiao was surprised to find out.
Now she can not only understand what Jiujiu says.
It can also understand the language of other birds.
Jiujiu is the new name she gave to Danque.
At this moment, the bird is chatting leisurely with its companions, and the branches of the peach tree are full of birds.
I could hear the birds chirping back and forth...
Landlord Liu received a letter from an old lady named Mrs. Jiang...
Chirp, "What did the letter say?"
[The letter that Landlord Liu's foolish son read to him... Old Madam Jiang asked him to collect a debt from Madam Jiang... and also wanted Madam Jiang to sell herself as a concubine...]
"What else does the letter say?" Chirped on the tree branch, flying up and down.
[Let Landlord Liu ruin her reputation...]
[Madam Jiang will not be able to return to the capital.]
Old Madam Jiang?
Could it be the grandmother she had never met...her mother-in-law.
The damn old lady actually set her sights on my mother.
Jiang Miaomiao was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
I shivered and felt a warm sensation on my back.
She peed...
She doesn't like being soaked in urine, it smells so bad.
He opened his mouth and started crying.
Looking for brother...changing urine...
Jiang Ziyan and Jiang Zifeng ran over.
"Brother, have you noticed that Miaomiao is cleaner than other children? She cries before she poops, and she also cries after she wets her pants..."
"That's right. Brother Xuan is already three years old, and he still smells of shit and urine. My sister smells sweet...smells like milk..." Jiang Zifeng picked up Jiang Miaomiao, whose butt was wet.
He also gave her a big kiss on her little face.
Jiang Miaomiao stopped crying.
Take a deep breath...
Ugh...smell of urine...
She could even smell the feces and urine on her body, but her brother actually said she smelled like milk.
It seems that the brothers really like her.
When mom is not at home, my brothers change diapers skillfully, becoming two expert babysitters.
After the villagers left.
My mother took my aunt into the mountains, under the pretext of collecting firewood.
A few hours later.
They are back.
My aunt was smiling so widely that her eyes almost fell out of her flesh.
Put down the backpack.
Remove the firewood from above.
A pig's head and several large pieces of meat were brought out.
Sizzling meat... Fatty pork leg...
My mother actually kept it a secret.
Lu Qingyao didn't know how to pickle meat, so this task naturally fell on Liu Yu Niang.
She hadn't seen so much meat in a long time.
Happy as a child.
After marinating it with salt and seasonings, I took it to a ventilated place in the attic of the ear room and hung it up.
Looking at the strips of bacon hanging under the beams.
Everyone had a happy smile on their face.
Jiang Zifeng smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Jiang Miaomiao clapped her hands happily and babbled something inaudible.
Lu Qingyao left some fresh meat to treat the villagers.
The rest is put into the pot to refine the oil.
The gap between refining.
The two sisters-in-law started chatting.
Jiang Miaomiao lay in her mother's arms, listening with her ears perked up.
This is one of her few interests nowadays.
She is the soul of a modern person trapped in the body of a motionless baby.
It’s so painful.
Every day I either listen to the birds singing or get information about the outside world from my mother and brothers.
The income is really limited......
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with that IOU? Why did Landlord Liu run away after hearing what that person said about the paper?"
Liu Yu Niang was curious at the time, and only now had the time to ask.
Jiang Miaomiao was also curious.
Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "Chengxintang paper is now selling for almost a hundred taels of silver per sheet. Zifeng's father saved some, but he usually doesn't want to use it. Using this paper for the IOU from ten years ago is ridiculous..."
She did not tell Liu Yu Niang that this matter was related to her mother-in-law.
So embarrassing!
But Jiang Miaomiao combined the previous chatter of the birds.
I understood it all at once.
I'm afraid it was that ignorant old lady Jiang who saw that the Chengxintang paper collected by her scumbag father was old.
He thought it was some old paper that he didn't want, so he asked someone to copy his son's handwriting.
This is how such a great show came about.
What an ignorant fool!
No wonder everyone says that we need to gain more knowledge. It’s true.
It's simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Plop..." The spatula in Liu Yu Niang's hand fell to the ground, her mouth wide open.
"One hundred taels of silver for a piece of paper?"
"Is it made of gold? Can it be eaten or drunk like water?"
She found it incredible.
Lu Qingyao smiled without saying anything. She had already learned how to get along with this sister-in-law.
This reaction is kind of cute.
Liu Yu Niang: "Sister-in-law, that IOU is forged, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Lu Qingyao nodded.
"Not to mention Jiang Yunze, even Landlord Liu ten years ago couldn't have bought this paper if he had money."
Liu Yu Niang sighed, "The man who bought the paper must have been kicked in the head by a donkey..."
"That's right... He must have been kicked by a donkey." Lu Qingyao chuckled.
Jiang Miaomiao also grinned.
"Sister-in-law, we only have wild boar meat and chicken at home, which may not be enough. Let's take the children to pick some wild vegetables and then go to the river to catch some fish."
Lu Qingyao looked at the pot of water celery worriedly.
It still seems not enough.
"Sister-in-law, let's stew the meat, prepare the bean rice, and catch some fish. As for the rest, your eldest brother said he has a way." Liu Yu Niang patted her chest and promised.
Seeing that she was confident, Lu Qingyao believed her.
After the two men dried the wild boar meat, they put the pieces into a clay pot, poured oil into it to cover it, and sealed it.
Pickled two jars.
When Liu Yu Niang left, she took away a jar and a big pig's trotter.
This day.
The aroma of meat wafted over the entire small mountain village.
The aroma of fried meat hits your nose directly, with a very rich aroma.
This caused the dogs in the village to bark wildly.
The baby is crying.
Jiang Yunhu limped from house to house to treat guests.
"Aunt Zhang, my sister-in-law is back with her children. We'd like to invite everyone to a feast tomorrow. We'll have both meat and rice. If you have pickled vegetables or special dishes at home, you can bring some."
"Okay, old lady, I just picked some sunflowers. I'll stir-fry them and bring them with me tomorrow."
The old lady smiled happily and gave her grandson a big kiss on the face, "Son, there will be meat to eat tomorrow."
There's nothing better than exchanging wild vegetables for meat.
"Uncle Chen, my sister-in-law is back with her child. We'd like to invite everyone to a feast tomorrow. We've got meat and rice. If you have any wine at home, you can bring some."
"Okay, old man, I made some pear wine. I'll bring some over tomorrow."
These days, in the countryside, when the harvest is bad, people can’t even get enough to eat.
Naturally, people are reluctant to use grain to make wine.
But live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.
Make wild fruit wine, mulberry wine, and mountain pear wine.
Still quite common...
