During this time, the conditions at home were getting better, so Bai Ling would buy meat or bones for cooking every now and then, or cook a fish.
In short, Sanfang can see meat dishes at least once a day, but the staple food of the three meals a day is different, which is already very luxurious in a farmhouse.
However, every time Bai Ling cooks, he only makes enough to feed the whole family. He is afraid of spoiling it if he cooks too much. He is also afraid that Bai Xiaoshan will be greedy and eat too much, which will be bad for the stomach.
As for the storage space, Bai Ling wanted to do that, but he didn't want his family to get suspicious, so he had to restrain himself on some things and follow the seasons.
"Mom, don't do it now. The oil lamp is not bright enough and it won't hurt your eyes." Bai Ling took the needle and thread from Bai Liu's hand, pinned it to the unfinished clothes, folded them and put them in the cabinet.
This kang cabinet was the dowry of the Bailiu family. It has been used for almost twenty years and has lost its original brightness.
It was precisely because of this that Mrs. Bai allowed Sanfang to bring out the remaining dowry of the Bai Liu family.
However, everyone in the third room only had a shabby change of clothes. One of the two cabinets was empty, and the other one was only empty.
"Mom, just listen to the second sister. The second sister brought back a few sets of clothes last time, which are enough for us to change." Bai Wei brought a plate of wild fruits into the house and gave it to the family as snacks, which happened to be just this.
Opportunity to talk conversation.
Because of yesterday's unpleasantness, Bai Sanshu knew that he was not welcome. After dinner, he went to the foot of the mountain to chop firewood, and he has not returned yet.
"Okay, I will listen to you. I haven't seen you sisters get married, nor have I seen Xiaoshan get a wife, so you have to keep your eyes peeled." Mrs. Bai Liu looked at her children with longing and tenderness.
It looks like the children are all married.
Bai Wei blushed for a rare moment. Seeing that Bai Ling seemed alright, she had no choice but to keep silent to avoid being teased by the whole family.
Sanfang's foundation is now weak. Even though the arrival of Mrs. Bai last night made the whole family unhappy, they still got up early to go to work the next day.
It's just that compared to the past, everyone was silent a lot, and everyone's eyes were a little swollen.
Bai Ling still got up early in the morning and went for a walk in the mountains, and then went to the town to sell fish, but he didn't know that Mrs. Bai had changed her routine and was still thinking about Sanfang's money.
Mrs. Bai thought that Sanfang had money now, so she went to wait for Bai Sanshu near Sanfang to go out.
However, Mrs. Bai came a little late, and what she waited for was Bai Sanshu carrying firewood home. But Bai Sanshu was alone, which suited Mrs. Bai's wishes.
"Third brother, please wait a moment." Old Mrs. Bai shouted, walking on the unstable road with her little feet without fear of falling.
Bai Sanshu looked at Old Mrs. Bai with a complicated expression, but finally walked forward and helped Old Mrs. Bai stand on the stable ground.
"Mom, do you have a problem with me?" Bai Sanshu lowered his head and did not look at Mrs. Bai's face, fearing that he would feel even worse.
"Your eldest brother really wants the money. Mom didn't ask you for it. Just pretend that she is here and you borrow it. When your eldest brother gets some errands in the county, she will return the money to you."
Mrs. Bai did not give Bai Sanshu a chance to refuse, and continued:
"Mom and your eldest brother really don't want to work together, otherwise they wouldn't come to you. Third child, you haven't forgotten what your eldest brother did behind your back when you were young, right? You have to be conscientious.
!”
Bai Sanshu's head hung lower. He certainly remembered this, but he also remembered his eldest brother's subsequent change and the look of contempt towards him.
"Mom, I have no money." Bai Sanshu told the truth.
"You don't have one. Doesn't your Bai Ling have one? Talk to her carefully. If she doesn't agree, just take some out secretly. Mom has never begged anyone in her life, so I'll just treat it as my mother begging you.
Do you want me to kneel down for you?" Old Mrs. Bai grabbed Bai Sanshu's collar, no longer her usual aggressive tone, but with a hint of request.
If Mrs. Bai beats and scolds her, Bai Sanshu can still care about her family.
But seeing that Old Mrs. Bai was really about to kneel down, Bai Sanshu could only hold Old Mrs. Bai's arm, nodded in embarrassment and said: "Mom, can't I think of a way? Don't do this!"
"That's what you said." Mrs. Bai smiled triumphantly, her face changed instantly, and she asked impatiently: "When will you give me the money?"
"Mom, wait for me for two days. I will go to town to sell some things, and I will give the money to my mother." Bai Sanshu said weakly.
"Okay, I'll go to town with you then." Mrs. Bai accepted the promise and immediately turned around and left, regardless of whether Bai Sanshu would be in trouble.
Recently, there have been more opportunities to go into the mountains alone, and Bai Ling's space has become much richer.
In addition to medicinal herbs, there are also many kinds of trees, as well as some pheasants, hares, or small animals such as birds.
"When I have time, I need to buy some materials and see if I can make some preserved eggs. I can't finish all the eggs at home!" Bai Ling said with a headache while standing next to the chicken coop.
The food in the space is about to be harvested, and a batch of poultry has been put on the market. Bai Ling can harvest hundreds of chicken, duck and goose eggs every day when he goes into the space to check.
Although the family eats more than a dozen eggs every day, within a few days, there are already a lot of eggs stored in the space.
Occasionally he would meet an acquaintance in the market, and Bai Ling would have a reason for selling fish, but selling eggs would be suspected by others.
After washing his hands by the stream, Bai Ling left the room and prepared to go to Hongtai Silver Building.
When the waiter saw her, he immediately led Bai Ling to the backyard.
Shopkeeper Shen was checking the accounts when he heard from the waiter that Bai Ling was coming. He quickly put down what he was doing, took a brocade box and went to the living room to see Bai Ling.
"Miss Bai, take a look, are you satisfied with this set of jewelry?" Shopkeeper Shen handed the brocade box to Bai Ling and watched Bai Ling's expression.
"Yes, the masters from Hongtai Silver House are really good at their craftsmanship." Bai Ling said calmly, not too happy. After taking a look, he put the jewelry box into his backpack.
To be honest, the ancient craftsmanship of making jewelry is not perfect unless it is at the master level.
Hongtai Silver Building has a good reputation in Wufu Town, but it is not enough to see in larger places, and naturally it cannot hire master craftsmen.
As for Shopkeeper Shen knowing his last name, he obviously did some research, so Bai Ling didn't mind. After all, they still had to cooperate for a long time.
"Shen went to ask his boss for instructions. The boss was very optimistic about Miss Bai's design and wanted to cooperate with Miss Bai for a long time. I wonder what Miss Bai's price requirements are?" Shopkeeper Shen asked tentatively.
"This set of lightweight jewelry cannot be sold at a high price, so a set of drawings will cost fifty taels of silver. For high-grade jewelry, the price will also increase. I will discuss the drawings with Shopkeeper Shen at that time." Bai Ling did not insist on speaking.
.
To be precise, Bai Ling does not plan to cooperate with Hongtai Yinlou forever, but he is short of money now, so it doesn't take much time to draw simple paintings.
Seeing that Bai Ling's words were calm and calm, but he opened his mouth with fifty taels of silver, shopkeeper Shen couldn't help but feel a little headache.
