"Then I'll buy you a piece of maltose." Lianlian said with a smile, "I sold all the chickens and eggs just now to get some money. I can still save some by buying oil and salt."
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "I still want to eat beef." There is no way, she is a carnivore and she cannot change her meat-eating habit.
Lianlian stamped her foot: "You are so greedy! Our family will be poor by you sooner or later, we are already poor enough! That's all, then just buy half a catty."
Chen Jinchu snickered, Lianlian was a smart-mouthed person, she was obviously one year younger than her body, but the child of a poor man had already taken charge of the family, and behaved like a big sister in every aspect, capable and honest, she liked it very much, looking at her
That angry and helpless look, clearly helpless but unable to help pampering her, made her feel warm in her heart.
Lianlian bought her braised beef and a few pieces of maltose, but she found that Chen Jinchu was a little absent-minded.
"Are you worried?" Because in her opinion, Chen Jinchu only had a bad appetite when he was worried.
It's no wonder she thinks so. Since she came to their house, Chen Jinchu has developed a huge appetite. She has eaten several of the old hens raised at home. She was injured before, so it was understandable that she should be replenished. Later, she was bouncing around.
Yes, her eyes still light up when she sees the old hen, which makes Lianlian very contemptuous:
It will be difficult for such a greedy woman to find a husband in the future.
Chen Jinchu shook his head. Although he lacked food and clothing, his life was simple and warm. Zhao Qinglian's family was simple and kind and treated her very well. She was eating well and sleeping well now. It was impossible to worry about anything.
She just thought of Gu Qingtan.
He is like a male god! - Chen Jin liked this character very much when he first read the book. The first thing he did after reading the book was to run to Wuling County to find Gu Qingtan.
I just saw him, why didn’t he take the opportunity to get to know me better?
Chen Jin scratched his head in fear, and sure enough, he had sequelae after falling off the cliff, and his brain was not functioning properly.
"What if, I mean what if, we go to work in Shengdao Sect?" Chen Jinchu asked.
Lianlian said: "We don't have that kind of fate for such a good job. I heard that the wages are very high, and there are rewards for good work. However, this kind of lucrative job has been controlled for a long time, and you have to spend money to get in.
, and it’s a lot of money.”
Chen Jinchu said "oh".
"Let's go, it will get dark if we wait any longer, and we still have to walk a mountainous road." Lianlian said. As she said this, she took the bamboo basket from Chen Jinchu and said, "You, you can't carry it with your shoulders or with your hands. You can't carry it with your hands."
If you are being served, how can you serve others? If you are expected to serve others, you must make mistakes, and I won’t beat you to death again.”
This... sounds unpleasant, but it seems to be the truth. She is indeed not a waiter.
Lianlian added: "Don't tell my mother that you lost a basket of vegetables. She will definitely not let you out next time."
The two of them walked back, Lianlian chattering all the way, but it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
"Your brother is here." Chen Jinchu reminded her.
Lianlian said: "Humph, you are definitely not here to pick me up."
Zhao Qinghui is the second eldest son of the Zhao family. He is tall and powerful, a good farmer, and can hunt and collect herbs. He is very kind to Chen Jinchu and is reluctant to let her do heavy work. This is one of the reasons why Chen Jinchu retains his good-natured and lazy nature.
According to Chen Jinchu's love experience in her previous life, this young man likes her.
Zhao Qinghui met Chen Jinchu and Zhao Qinglian, took the bamboo basket from Zhao Qinglian, and said: "The rice is ready, a pheasant and fish are cooked."
Zhao Qinglian said: "These are what Xingzhu likes to eat."
Zhao Qinghui glanced at Chen Jinchu and said, "I don't see you eating less every time."
"Second brother! Are you my second brother or her second brother?" Lianlian stamped her feet.
Chen Jinchu said hurriedly: "It's our second brother!"
Back in the village, Chen Jinchu took out the gold earrings he bought for his sister-in-law Sun and Zhao Qinglian's mother Liu.
Mrs. Liu said: "I am too old to need this, but since you bought it, I will keep it for you as a dowry when you get married in the future."
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "I gave it to my aunt, and she wears it. As long as my aunt loves me, I won't be in a hurry to get married."
Mrs. Sun was overjoyed and said, "This is too expensive. I don't have anything nice to give you in return. I only have a pair of twisted silver bracelets, which I will give to you later."
"Sister-in-law, please don't be polite. Me and Stinky Bao ate so many of my sister-in-law's chickens. My sister-in-law treats me like a sister. Not to mention a pair of earrings. If I were rich, I would give her more things."
Lao Zhao is a simple old farmer. Because he is pragmatic and diligent, he has educated his children well. Although his life is tight, he has no problem with being full and is relatively respected in the village.
"Daughter, if you have money, you should spend it sparingly. If you do this again next time, I will be angry!" Lao Zhao said.
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "Okay, listen to me and don't spend money randomly next time. I want to learn from Lianlian. She sold all the chickens and eggs today, and she also sold the vegetables for me."
.There is a small amount of money here, I got it from selling vegetables, please keep it."
"Beef and maltose are what I want to eat. After deducting these from the money you paid for me, you won't have a few coppers left from selling vegetables today." Lianlian said hurriedly, "Take this money back."
Chen Jinchu thought that he must find a way to make some money so that his family could live a good life.
In the evening, Zhao Qinghui came to find her and gave her a bowl of peanuts with sugar added.
"I heard from Lianlian that you want to work in the Shengdao Sect?"
Chen Jinchu said: "Just thinking about it, when I first came here, I was still thinking about going to Shengdao Sect to study."
"If you want to go, we should think of a way to get in. I heard that there are some precious medicinal materials in the mountains. I will bring some dry food tomorrow and go for a walk. If I dig out the medicinal materials, I can sell them for money. Then I can find someone to accommodate me.
"
Chen Jinchu smiled. She was really not interested in spending money to be a slave. Although she wanted to meet Gu Qingtan, she was really touched that the Zhao family, who were not related to her, could care about her like this.
, she must not selfishly consume their goodwill.
"That's so dangerous. I have a way to make money that I want to try. You can help me chop down some big bamboos tomorrow and cut them into tubes. I used to learn pastries from the master at home. Let's make some rice cakes and sell the pastries.
." Chen Jinchu said with a smile that she planned to make some bamboo tube cakes, and the idea came from cupcakes. However, there are no paper cups here, and it would be expensive to buy paper. Bamboo is readily available, and there is an endless supply as long as you go into the mountains.
Zhao Qinghui smiled and said: "Okay. I will go to the mountain early tomorrow morning. If you need help with anything, just call me."
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "I need some sugar, eggs, flour, etc."
"I told Lianlian to buy it."
Zhao Qinglian came out at some point and said: "Use me again! Last time I asked her to cook, the pot was burned. How dare you let her into the kitchen? Xingzhu is not smart. She was injured by a fall. Second brother
