Aunt Huo said as she picked up the things she had prepared earlier, including Xiao Nian'an's clean clothes, rattles and other items.
Yan Shiqing was speechless when she saw her carrying a small bundle.
With Grandma's attitude, people who didn't know better thought she was going on a long trip, even carrying her baggage.
"Mom, are you exaggerating?"
Yan Shiqing said, using her free hand, she pointed at the bundle in Grandma Huo's hand.
Aunt Huo thought for a while and simply said: "Girl, why don't we go to Zhuangzi? Didn't we say before that we didn't have enough cows and we still wanted to buy them? It's the end of October now, and it will be winter in a few days.
, also go to Zhuangzi to see how the big trees are doing. Then when you come back, you can go to the seaside to see them."
Yan Shiqing thought the same thing. It just so happened that she hadn't seen the big tree for a long time. She brought him out, so he was still there no matter what, no matter what.
"That's fine, then, mama, bring more things with you."
What Yan Shiqing is talking about here refers to Xiao Nian'an's clean change of clothes.
The children here don't have diapers, they all have handmade diapers.
Yan Shiqing couldn't stand it, so she and others bought cotton from other places at a high price to make simplified sanitary napkins for testing.
Apart from anything else, she would have to spend a lot of money just for this amount of money every month.
She, Xiao Nian'an, Grandma Huo, Xiaoyun Xiaowa and others all use this kind of method.
Although it is easy to use, the cost is too high.
The capital city of Hongwu Kingdom is really warm, and there is no such thing as cotton for sale.
There are no cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded jackets or quilts.
Even if it gets a little cooler between March and April to June and July, it's only when it's cool, and you just sleep with a thin quilt at night.
I didn’t see thick quilts like Da Chu’s at all.
However, it is precisely because there is nothing to sell that the price is high.
This is not to say that no one grew cotton in Hongwu Kingdom. On the contrary, there were still many people growing cotton.
It's just that most of the cotton is made into cotton cloth and other items and is sold directly, and very few of them are sold directly.
It was precisely because of this that Yan Shiqing came up with the idea of letting Dashu and the others plant some cotton.
When Yan Shiqing, Nanny Huo and Lian'er arrived at Zhuangzi with Xiao Nian'an, a quarter of noon had passed.
The gatekeeper had seen Yan Shiqing before. When he saw her carriage coming, he hurriedly saluted her, and then hurried in to inform her.
When Yan Shiqing, Nanny Huo and others got off the bus, Dashu was already waiting.
"Shiqing, why are you here? What do you want from me?"
In Dashu's eyes, Yan Shiqing is a person who does great things, so there is no time to waste on this manor.
Giving this to him now is just to reassure him and help him learn some skills.
"It's nothing, I just came over to see, Brother Dashu, how are you doing these days?" xdw8
"Thanks to you, I'm doing well here. By the way, Shi Qing, I asked someone to ask, someone in the village behind has a cow, but the price is higher, it's fifty taels."
"Fifty taels? Then let him keep it. We are poor people, and we don't have that much money to be ripped off for nothing."
She would leave it to her brother to prepare the cow matter, because she didn't want to worry about such trivial matters.
"An ordinary ox only costs about ten taels, so there's usually not much difference. His price is fifty taels, which is as big as a lion's."
In the past, when Ruan Dashu was in Ruanjiakeng, the money Ruan Dashu earned when he went out to work was calculated at a few cents a day.
One tael of silver is a huge fortune to him.
Now that I came to the Hongwu Kingdom with Yan Shiqing, my horizons were broadened. After I became the steward of two Zhuangzi, I realized how narrow my horizons were before.
Now one tael seems to be a lot, but it is not so much that he feels that it is a huge sum of money.
Therefore, when he heard someone say fifty taels before, he was surprised, but he came back without saying anything.
However, he couldn't make up his mind about this matter. It was Yan Shiqing who paid the money, so he knew that he would discuss it with her first.
Xiao Nian'an stared at the tanned Ruan Dashu, her eyes rolling.
While Ruan Dashu was talking, he also cooed in response.
After Ruan Dashu finished speaking, he added: "Look, miss, even the young master is right."
"Let's go and have a look in the fields."
Yan Shiqing said, patting Xiao Nian'an's back lightly to make the little guy calm down.
Although others are small, they are very curious and want to take a look at everything.
Seeing this, Aunt Huo stretched out her hand to stop her: "You can just go and see what happened to the girl in the field. Xiao Nian'an won't go, and the old slave will watch.
Seeing Nanny Huo's nervous expression, Yan Shiqing knew that she would never agree.
"Okay then, I'll thank you for the hard work, mama."
As she spoke, she handed Xiao Nian'an to Nanny Huo and asked Lian'er to stay and help take care of her. Then she walked towards the fields under the leadership of Ruan Dashu.
Her eyes fell on the trees beside the ground from a distance.
Those oval particles, if she read correctly, are green olives, right?
Thinking of this, she paused in her steps, turned around and walked towards the green olive tree.
It wasn't until I walked in that I confirmed it was correct.
"Dashu, go back and get some big bamboo baskets first, and bring some dry straw along the way."
As Yan Shiqing spoke, she reached out and picked a green olive, took out her embroidered handkerchief, wiped it, and put it in her mouth.
The sour taste in her mouth made her smile.
Olives are a treasure. In addition to making olive oil and olive vegetables, they can also cure many diseases.
Although she is not picky about food in modern times, her favorite dish is minced pork, olives, vegetables and green beans.
In the past, as long as she had this plate of food, she would have a delicious meal.
Speaking of which, she really missed that home-cooked dish, and it was the only dish she could cook.
For this purpose, she also specially studied how to make olive vegetables.
Although it is always not as good as the ones bought in the supermarket, it does not prevent her from enjoying herself.
Now that there are so many olives, she can finally have someone make some olive vegetables and store them properly.
When she returns to Dachu or goes to other places in the future, she can satisfy her craving.
Ruan Dashu didn't understand why Yan Shiqing liked this green fruit. It was something that no one would eat.
Only when I am busy in the fields and am thirsty and have no water to drink, I will pick a few and put them in my mouth to chew.
Although it was a little sour at first, it felt sweet in the mouth afterwards.
It's just that these green fruits are available everywhere, they're not valuable, and no one specially grows them to sell them.
Why is it that she seems to have found a treasure?
Hadn't she been to this village before? Didn't she see it then?
Yan Shiqing didn't care what Ruan Dashu thought. After eating two green olives in a row, she picked a few and put them in her purse.
After walking around the area, she wanted to see how many olive trees there were.
If there is not much, just make it all into olive vegetables.
If there are more, she can make people think about how the olive oil is pressed, and is it the same as sesame and soybean oil?
And she had to stock up on some medicinal materials for later use.
