Jiancheng nodded excitedly, "Sister-in-law, just wait, we'll go right away."
Seeing that he was carrying several baskets on his back and carrying several more in his hands, it should be one basket for each of ten people.
Chen Miao didn't refuse. It was just that she was going back a little late. It was not a big deal.
Unload the cart so that the horses can rest for a while. The wild grass here is good and the horses can eat well.
Suddenly I remembered about buying a sheep. I turned around behind the house and saw a large sheepfold. There was no sheep in it. They must have been let out.
It is no longer realistic to raise pigs at this time. Let's go back and buy some in the countryside.
I happened to be helping them cook at this time. To be honest, even without seeing the other nine people, I knew that they must not be able-bodied people.
There is only one pot. I have no choice but to prepare some food first.
I just beat four eggs and scrambled two large bowls of egg sauce.
They don't have enough tableware here. I'll buy them some more next time. She felt like an old woman with endless worries.
I am also willing to worry about them and go back to find a matchmaker to see if there is a suitable girl.
I sighed in my heart. To be honest, even if I have a daughter, I don't want to marry a man with a physical disability.
But I still want these heroes to have a happy future.
After frying the egg sauce, I didn't clean the pot, but boiled water to scald the noodles.
Two pots of pancakes were attached, and dinner was ready.
It's getting late now that the pancakes are cooked. Let's go get the car.
When we arrived at the vegetable field, a lot of cabbage had been poured outside.
The corner of Chen Miao's mouth twitched, thinking how could he finish eating so much? But it was growing well. After careful inspection, there were some bugs but not many.
I went back and asked Xizi to come over to deliver insecticides and sprayers, and I also looked forward to a good harvest of vegetables.
She didn't have time to sort out the cabbage, so she let them sort it out by themselves and receive it directly in the car. She sat aside to pick the rest and eat it herself.
It’s really good, why don’t you just keep some more yourself, and since it’s fine anyway, you can make some vegetables and pancakes for them at home?
It's a good idea. They must all like to eat it. It's a fool's errand to be busy grinding flour to eat.
After about another quarter of an hour, ten of them came out carrying baskets on their backs.
"It's already a lot. Too much is a waste. By the way, I saw a lot of bugs on the cabbage. I'm going to bring back some pesticides this time so that Xizi can have time to deliver them."
"Sister-in-law, we can't even catch the insects."
"Of course. There are several acres of cabbage and radish fields here. How can we catch them? Okay, it's getting late and I have to go back."
"Sister-in-law, I'll see you off."
Chen Miao shook his head, "No need. I can do it myself. The rice has been prepared for you. Just stir-fry some cabbage and you can eat."
"Sister-in-law, it's too late." It would take more than two hours to drive all the way.
"It doesn't matter. I have a gun in my hand, and besides us, not many people come here except us."
Jiancheng and the other ten watched his sister-in-law drive away. The two of them once again pulled some cabbage, which was really good for frying. The main reason was that Jiancheng said that his sister-in-law had sent oil. The remaining eight people went to kill the sheep and came back.
But you need to be more careful, because the meat will be sent to the troops in the future.
After seeing the dinner, several people exclaimed that my sister-in-law's cooking was the most delicious.
"Daqing, please learn a little better."
"I don't have the skills of my sister-in-law."
There were too many mosquitoes at night, so Chen Miao put away her two children and drove the car by herself.
Although the carriage is fast, the road is too long.
Even if you go directly to the bus, they will be sent there, and a basket of cabbage on your back is enough.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you ask Jiancheng to send you back?"
"It's okay. These cabbages are very good. By the way, tomorrow you can send some pesticides to the vegetable fields and tell them how to use them. There should be no need to increase the dosage. You can't eat vegetables that have been treated with pesticides within a month.
It cannot be given to livestock."
"Okay, I understand. I will go there tomorrow to study where the warehouse will be built."
"Okay, I won't go tomorrow."
Xizi sent his mother home with a basket on her back. "Sister-in-law, the electric grinder is really easy to use. The grain can come out right after you put it in it, and there's no skin on it."
"How could there be no skin? It's just beaten into pieces."
When I was a child, the cornmeal grinded by this kind of electric mill was used to feed the livestock raised at home.
Life is hard now. People still feel good eating noodles like this. This is all because of poverty. Chen Miao comforted herself that things will get better in the future.
"Sister-in-law, this way there won't be so many people here. When Sanyuan comes back, I will take people to the mountain to clean up. It is not appropriate for others to go to that place."
Chen Miao nodded, "Yes. The fewer people who know for sure, the better."
When I get home, I put the cabbage away directly.
They can't eat a cart of cabbage for two or three days anyway, so I'd better wait until a few days later to make them a meal of vegetable pancakes or steamed buns, adding more oil and meat to satisfy their cravings.
When I got up the next day, I went to the cloth shop to have a look. It belonged to Xiao Tongran. If there was a lot of cotton, I would get some here. I still have some in my own space, so I could make it together with the quilt.
I wonder if anyone else is coming? It’s better to prepare some more cotton-padded clothes.
I walked around the cloth shop and fell in love with a kind of cloth. "Shopkeeper, do you have a large supply of this kind of cloth?"
"Sister-in-law, how much do you want?"
"I want to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts."
Just as he was talking, Qiangzi came in, "Sister-in-law, are you here?"
"Qiangzi, I'm attracted to this cloth and want to make cotton-padded clothes for Luo Bingyuan and the others."
"Sister-in-law, there are many cloth warehouses like this, and there is a lot of cotton."
"That's okay. If you're busy, I'll ask Guoqiang to find you."
"Okay. Sister-in-law, don't worry."
Chen Miao pushed the two children out, and the shopkeeper came over curiously, "Qiangzi, are these the boss's woman and child?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Just these three words, nothing else was said, and it couldn't be explained.
Now that the matter of cotton and cloth has been settled, let's find someone to make cotton clothes. I don't know many people here, so after thinking about it, I might as well wait and ask Qiangzi.
Go to the market and buy some ready-made cotton shoes. It won't cost much more, as long as they are warm and suitable for the climate here.
"Sister, do you still need bones today?"
Chen Miao took a look at the meat. Today's meat is quite thin. It seems that it hasn't been sold yet.
"Brother, let me ask you something."
"Sister, tell me."
"That's right, if I want to have dozens of pigs after freezing, can I do it?"
"Dozens? I can get you even a hundred. I'm not bragging. I know how many pigs each family has here."
"Okay, I'll see you then. I want to buy some."
"No problem, don't worry, sister, I will definitely find it for you, and the price is guaranteed not to be high."
