Chapter 353 Xi Yiang wants
"Okay, we'll still deliver today's batch tomorrow. But if there are any extra ones from the water, just bring them here and I'll get the money for you right away." Gu Qingqing agreed with him to deliver the goods tomorrow.
Even though there were a lot of things delivered, it was only fifty cents in total. Gu Qingqing took out fifty cents from today's money basket in front of Luo Meihua and Lu Xiaocao.
On the other side, Zhao Dong and his friends saw the things being delivered and helped put them on their donkey carts.
The other party took the money and asked with a smile, "Sister Wen, I'll go see what else the store has and buy some to take back."
Gu Qingqing paused after hearing this, then smiled helplessly, "You are late today. I just saw that there are only some braised peanuts and two braised chickens left."
"Ah?" The other party paused after hearing that, then he looked around. Originally seeing that there were not many people here, he thought that business was not good, but he didn't know that their business was too good and they had nothing to sell.
"Business is so good? Fine, then don't do it. I'll go get a braised chicken. We eat pork every day at home, so it's time to improve our diet." The other party said, and walked towards the window with the money he had just received.
Gu Qingqing looked at the people below with a smile on her face, and exclaimed how great it was that she had just earned back half of the fifty cents she had spent.
She smiled and shouted to the window, "Meihua, pack up those peanuts and give them to people."
"Okay, we'll do it right away." Luo Meihua answered loudly.
Oh, I had been thinking of giving Meihua one chicken and one grass chicken with the leftover chicken today so that they could take them home to eat.
Now no one can get half a piece.
Gu Qingqing ignored that and took out a tael of silver from her pocket and walked up to Zhao Dong. "Brother Dong, take a look at what kind of wine you like to drink. Use this tael of silver to buy some wine and we can take it back."
"Buy a tael of silver for wine?"
"Sister-in-law, why did you buy so much wine? Don't we all have to get drunk?" Zhao Bei said that he bought a lot, but his expression showed his happiness of "Ah! There is wine to drink!"
"You're dreaming, and you're planning to drink it all at once. Ask Brother Dong how much you can drink today, and keep the rest at home. In a few days, your brother Wuyan will be back from his farm leave (1), and then you can drink as much as you want together." Gu Qingqing said to Zhao Bei, then glanced at Zhao Dong, and then raised his chin towards the wine shop, "The shopkeeper over there also bought a hundred coins of braised food from us today. We should at least do our part to help him. Let's go."
Gu Qingqing had her own plans. First, she had to take care of the business, and second, the wheat at home would be harvested soon. Although her family had a lot of land but few fields, the atmosphere of spring harvest was essential.
Must drink to celebrate!
"Okay, I'll go! Should we go back?" Zhao Dong asked.
Gu Qingqing nodded and said, "The shop is doing good business today. There is nothing left to sell inside. It is useless for us to stay here. We might as well go back early."
Zhao Dong gave Zhao Bei a look that said 'go and harness the horse', and then he and Zhao Nan went to buy some wine.
Gu Qingqing ignored them and immediately found Shengxi playing with the three Wen sisters in another room.
"Everyone, pack up. We'll be going back soon." Gu Qingqing said.
"Mom, have we sold out our things?" Dahua stopped clapping for Sanhua and looked up at Gu Qingqing.
"Well, they've all been sold. Go back early today so your aunt can rush back to grandma's house to visit cousin Gu Qi."
"Mom... hug me..." When Sanhua saw her mother coming, she staggered like a little penguin and swayed towards Gu Qingqing with her arms stretched out.
"Oh, Sanhua misses her mother again. Come, let mother hold her." Gu Qingqing said with a smile, then bent down and picked her up.
"Xia Niang, Niang!" Sanhua spoke incoherently.
Gu Qingqing understood and subconsciously taught her, "It's "think", not "shrimp". Repeat me and say, "Xi Yiang thinks."
"Shrimp, shrimp..." Sanhua straightened his body to show that he was very happy.
"Think about it!" Gu Qingqing continued to correct.
"S-shrimp!"
"Xi'ion wants to!"
"Xi Yi Shrimp!"
Gu Qingqing was amused by her confused, serious and poor learning style. She tapped her little face with her finger and said lovingly, "Shrimp, so be it!"
......
After the group of people went home, Zhao Dong called Gu Qingqing and took Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei to the backyard. Each of them grabbed a piglet and walked towards the built pigpen.
The newly built pigpen was covered with a layer of dry bamboo leaves, which had a layer of oily wax from the plant itself, which was the most difficult to ferment on normal days. However, pig urine and pig manure would decompose into an acid. No matter whether it was bamboo leaves or straw, if they were trampled by pigs for a few days, they would lose their protective wax.
Let them be used as bedding in the first few days. Then, shovel them out of the pigpen and throw them into the composting pool. After a few months, you can use them to mix with water and irrigate the fields.
Here, Gu Qingqing saw that it was getting late, so she cut the braised chicken she brought back from town into two with a knife, then picked it up with a large grass leaf and gave it to Xiaocao, who was rubbing pig offal with wood ash with Luo Meihua. "Xiaocao, I won't let you stay at home for dinner today. I've brought you half a chicken. You can take it back and eat with mother. Just come over early tomorrow."
Lu Xiaocao looked up at her and said, "Sister, when I came out, I told mom that I would not go back for the first few days. I will go to the backyard to hang out with Xiao and Shengxi in the evening."
She originally wanted to call Xiao Miao, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she swallowed the rest.
Yes, Xiaomiao has changed his name now.
When Gu Qingqing heard her say this, she immediately said, "Nonsense! How old is Gu Qicai? Why don't you go back to breastfeed him? He drinks rice soup every day, which is not as nutritious as your breast milk. I have Meihua and me here. At worst, I can ask Shengxi to come over to help. You are not a problem at all."
Lu Xiaocao was unwilling to leave, because in her opinion, her elder sister had helped her so much, so she wanted to stay here for the first few days and see how the situation would develop later.
"Sister, it will be the same if I go back tomorrow." Lu Xiaocao didn't want to go back.
"Be obedient and go back early to bring something for mom to eat, and then come back early tomorrow." Gu Qingqing insisted.
Wen Shengxi looked at her dear sister, then at Sister Gu. She chose to remain silent, as she really didn't know who to help.
(1) Field holiday, which is now summer vacation. It is also called busy farming holiday. When the wheat is ripe, students need to go back to harvest the wheat.
