Chapter 16 Mid-Autumn Festival Preparations
It's dusk, the breeze is blowing, the shades of the trees are swaying, and the flowers and trees are sparse.
On the way home, my brother couldn't bear the depressing atmosphere and spoke first, "Brother, my sister bought me three candied haws for three pennies today!"
Fu Yuanzhi carried his brother on his back and adjusted his posture before speaking, "Then you have to take one pill a day this time, you know?"
Adi chuckled, "Okay, I won't make the same mistake as last time!"
Maybe it was because Adi had never eaten before and he kept having a stomachache after eating it that night. After Song Huan and Fu Yuanzhi took turns rubbing his stomach, he felt better the next day. When they saw that he was indeed fine, he was jumping around.
Don't worry, otherwise Song Huan will have to send him to the town to see a doctor.
Although I still bought it for him this time, I had to limit the quantity and eat an appropriate amount.
The reason why she bought one more was because Fu Yuanzhi felt her head was much better after eating hawthorn last time, so she bought one more and used it as a dietary therapy.
It was getting dark when she got home, so Song Huan went into the kitchen and put away the items she bought one by one.
Since he doesn't go to town often, it depends on the quantity of prey, so Song Huan plans to bring some rice with him every time he goes to town, as a way to stock up on food for the winter.
In fact, she was also worried that the price of food would rise in winter, so she took advantage of the rice harvest season to buy more. Since she didn't have much savings, she could only plan more.
You still have to make a careful calculation.
Song Huan added water to the pot so that Fu Yuanzhi could put the ribs in, and then took out the fat meat, rinsed it, and cut it into slices for refining oil.
Then she can also try to tan the fur herself. When she hunts a hare and uses it for her own food, she can keep the fur. After the tanning is finished, can it be spliced together to make a blanket?
"I'm curious about who I am? Who is at home? Why did you suddenly appear in the trap? Why do you stay here and not leave?" Fu Yuanzhi was very confused. Normally, people would not take in strangers for so long, and there is no elder in the family.
, the premise is that the siblings are not very old either.
In fact, she had a little idea when she passed by a fur stall today.
Song Huan also put the oil residue and green vegetables into his brother's bowl, "Brother, you've worked hard too. Let's go to bed early. Tomorrow, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we'll get up early to take care of our parents' tombs, okay?
ah?"
When it snows, cook the tube bone soup over a fire in the house, add radish or cabbage, and make a bowl of chili dish. Stew the radish with rice in tube bone soup, and blanch the cabbage dipped in chili. It will also be delicious.
This way she doesn't have to cling to the quilt.
There is not much fat in a pound of meat, and it was cut into pieces in a short time. Song Huan directly put it into the pot to make oil.
In her memory, she helped Father Song tan the furs, and she had a few at home, but most of them were taken to town and sold by Father Song.
During the day, he cooked porridge before going down the mountain.
Fu Yuanzhi took the tube bone and went outside to clean it.
"What's for dinner tonight?" Fu Yuanzhi's abrupt question interrupted Song Huan's thoughts.
Song Huan asked knowingly, "What are you curious about?"
Although he thought so in his heart, Adi still ate all the green vegetables in the bowl.
But he really doesn’t like eating vegetables...
The younger brother put meat on the left and right sides of the elder sister and the elder brother, and said in a milky voice, "Sister, elder brother had a hard day today. He needs to eat more meat to grow stronger."
Song Huan combed her still wet hair with her hands and walked over, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Oh, I forgot to mention, the radish here is called radish, and the radish seeds are called radish seeds.
You are so angry!
Song Huan took advantage of the conversation to bring vegetables to her brother, "Eat more to replenish your body."
Dad said that grandma often did this to him, so he always asked grandma to pretend that she didn't know how shy she was. Therefore, brother also had to be considerate of grandma and pretend not to know.
My brother plucked the green vegetables in the bowl and sighed deeply. He was already used to my sister's usual tricks.
Also, she plans to expand the vegetable garden and plant radishes and cabbage.
Adi frowned and thought for a while, then said seriously, "Sister, you are the last one to wake up in the family."
So she also bought a pound of fat meat and two tube bones for twenty cents. The boss was a nice man and gave two more tube bones as a gift.
Fu Yuanzhi hummed, "Yes."
Song Huan pushed the drum bone in front and said, "Stew it and refine the fat into oil. When it's done, put a spoonful into the lamp and use it tomorrow. Just put the rest into the oil tank and eat the oil tonight."
Stir-fried vegetables and porridge, is there any more?"
On the side, Adi carefully pulled out the candied haws that Song Huan gave him one by one and put them into a bowl. The weather is hot and the sugar outside melts easily, so there is no need to worry about putting it in the bowl. You can also pour water when it melts.
Go in and drink sweet water. Another thing is that it is convenient to store. You can use a bowl to cover the mouth of the bowl with the leftovers, so that you are not afraid of cockroaches taking the opportunity to get in.
Calculating it like this, her income today is 214 cash, her expenditure is 140 cash, and she has a balance of 74 cash. Adding the last balance, her savings are 913 cash.
Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she gritted her teeth and bought three three-nut mooncakes for three cents each.
There was also brown sugar. She bought twenty coins. She originally planned to make bread for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but after thinking about it, she decided not to eat it. How could she, a village girl in the mountains, eat such strange food? It would be okay if she only had Adi. She was fooling around.
That would be fine, but with Fu Yuanzhi, who was obviously experienced in the world, she didn't dare, so she should prepare the brown sugar first and use it later.
The moon hung on the branches, round and bright as water, casting soft moonlight through the shade of the trees, leaving broken jade on the ground.
However, it also depends on the quantity. She doesn't want to give up the restaurant business, but then she won't have fur to make blankets.
Song Huan's eating movements froze, and she smiled guiltily, "Why don't you just wake me up early tomorrow? Come on, come on, come on, I won't be able to stop your mouth even if there's meat!"
Fu Yuanzhi shook his head and smiled, "You don't seem to be curious at all."
While Song Huan was still packing things, Fu Yuanzhi put away the books and went to the kitchen to light the fire and wash the pots.
Song Huan was silent for a moment. She didn't expect him to ask such a question. She thought he wanted to tell her his sorrows.
The weather was hot, so Song Huan wanted to save some lamp oil and just put the vegetables in the yard, and the three of them had the evening meal with only Zuo Hui.
The cold moonlight fell on his body, making his figure even more slender. His whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, and a faint halo surrounded him.
The village she currently lives in is in the south, and these two vegetables can be kept in the vegetable field for winter consumption.
Song Huan was not in the mood to meddle in other people's business. When he had already stepped into the main room, the sound from the courtyard came over.
At this time, Fu Yuanzhi had already added more firewood to the stove and went outside to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Song Huan stopped and looked over. The man whose back was turned to him had turned around at some point.
So she thought about it and did it. Today she brought twenty kilograms of rice, which cost her eighty cents, and she bought three bunches of candied haws for three cents.
When I came out of the bath, I saw that thin figure under such beautiful scenery. He was facing the moonlight mountains and rivers, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
So after asking the store for advice, she bought radish seeds and rapeseeds directly, each in a package, wrapped in oil paper.
Well, I thought too much and gossiped.
"First of all, I'm not curious about any of your questions. As for rescuing you, I don't think a person would turn to death in such a situation. As for you just staying here, I don't have a fortune at home to worry about you, and you
I still pay the accommodation fee, which is ten cents a day, and I can still help with the work. Isn’t this great?”
Fu Yuanzhi, "..."
He actually felt that what she said made sense for a moment.
