Chapter 254: Very good (first update)
It would not be possible to hire people from the village, as the villagers would also be busy harvesting their own grain.
But if you hire people outside and help dig potatoes, you will know that the yield is extremely high just by looking at the potatoes.
Once this kind of thing is known to outsiders, you can imagine what kind of sensation it will cause.
So if word spreads, Jiang Zhiluo will be even more worried.
But it was too late for her, Mrs. Cui, Cui Qingci and Cui Hejin to harvest the crops.
She needs to think of a solution.
Zhu trusted Jiang Zhiluo, and the villagers also trusted Jiang Zhiluo.
Zhu said: "Okay, then I will tell the people in the village this when I go back, and we will harvest the wheat in two days."
As Zhu said this, he hurried out.
He seemed to have thought of something and said: "Oh, by the way, Zhiluo, the villagers are still thinking of harvesting in advance so that we can help you get all the food in the fields back."
The villagers remembered the kindness of the Cui family, who helped them last time.
Zhiluo also helped find the valley in the mountains this time. It was a good place and suitable for temporary living. There were caves and water, and there were no wild animals around.
They were all grateful to Zhiluo.
Everyone thought about their kindness, and naturally wanted to do something to help the Cui family.
Otherwise, they would feel bad about it.
Hearing Zhu's words, Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, but her heart felt warm.
The villagers in Donghe are simple and honest, and the people in the village are warm and kind. They also know how to take good care of others and are grateful, which is good.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "It's okay. Let everyone harvest the wheat in two days. It's just right. If there is enough time, I will find a way."
“Just wait until everyone has finished harvesting the food and then come over to help.”
Zhu Shi nodded and said, "That's okay!"
Then Zhu went to tell the people in the village.
Cui Qingci came over and said, "Sister-in-law, I have strength now and can help harvest wheat."
It's summer now. After a month of recuperation, Cui Qingci's health is much better.
And this month not only took care of her body, Cui Qingci followed Jiang Zhiluo to work, not only saw a lot but also learned a lot, and her mind was broadened.
And she found life in the village quite relaxing.
Jiang Zhiluo was wrapping soap in oil paper. Listening to Cui Qingci's words, she said, "No, I have a way."
“Besides, you are still very thin and physical work will tire you out.”
Cui Qingci looked down at her figure. In fact, she had eaten all kinds of delicious food cooked by her sister-in-law this month, and she ate quite a lot at each meal. She didn't understand why she didn't gain weight.
“I actually want to experience the joy of harvesting grain.”
In the past, when the Cui family was in the capital, there was also a special Zhuangzi.
Although she has not visited Zhuangzi, she knows that farmers are very happy when harvesting grain every year.
She heard from her mother that the yield of potatoes was high, and it was a crop specially grown by her sister-in-law. She wanted to take a look when she wanted to harvest them.
Mainly out of curiosity.
With that said, Cui Qingci stepped forward to help wrap the soap.
She knew it was soap, and she also helped her sister-in-law make some more soap, which was already dried.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to work in the fields for a while when we harvest wheat. But let me tell you in advance that it's easy to get heatstroke if you go out to work in this weather."
It's summer. There are no fans or refrigerators here. The sun is so hot that you'll easily sweat if you stay out in the sun for a while.
So in broad daylight, there are no people on the street.
In the past, some old people would like to take their horses and enjoy the shade under the big trees in the village, but now these old people have moved to the valley to stay, and there are a lot fewer people in the village.
No watermelon, no popsicles, it’s really hot.
But even if it’s hot, everyone is happy at this time because they can harvest wheat and grain soon.
This is very important to the villagers, and everyone feels at ease after harvesting the grain. Cui Qingci looked at Jiang Zhiluo with trusting eyes and said, "I know my sister-in-law has a way to relieve the heat. Even if she suffers from heat stroke, she is not afraid."
Jiang Zhiluo was amused, "You believe me, but to be honest, mung bean soup can relieve the heat."
Previously, Cui Qingci didn’t know these crops at all and didn’t know how to distinguish them.
Now with Jiang Zhiluo, I have learned to identify many crops and know how to make many foods.
She now enjoys the process of making delicious food, especially making bread.
While making food, she felt very calm and fulfilled.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "I think the weather is getting hot, and you don't have much appetite. I will go to the town to sell soap in a while. After selling the soap, I will buy some mung beans and make some mung bean jelly."
“Just take out the preserved eggs, cut them into pieces and mix them with some cold vegetables.”
Cui Qingci knew that preserved eggs are commonly known as turned eggs.
She was stunned and asked, "Have the preserved eggs been marinated?"
She had heard her mother talk about it before, saying that her sister-in-law had pickled it.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "I've been busy lately and haven't bothered to make preserved eggs. They must have been marinated for such a long time. They are in the tank in the storage room. You can take them out and peel them and eat them directly. However, it usually tastes better when mixed with vegetables."
Cui Qingci looked expectant, "Sister-in-law, let me go and take a look."
“Well, you go and have a look, take it out and remove the mud outside, put some in and I’ll go to the restaurant to sell it.”
I will move to the mountains soon. I will use this time to earn more money and buy some medicinal materials to take back to the valley, so that I will not be afraid of hiding in the valley for a long time.
Can't stop Cui Qingci's medicine.
Through medicated baths, acupuncture and drinking medicine, most of the fatal poisons in Cui Qingci's body have been eliminated. There is no danger to her life, but there are still chronic poisons that must be eliminated before she can take good care of her body.
Otherwise, if the medicinal materials are cut off, the chronic poison will spread to Cui Qingci's internal organs and kill Cui Qingci.
So she must continue to drink medicine and eliminate it early, and then she will be fine.
There is no need to worry about taking care of your body, because it is not life-threatening, just take care of yourself slowly.
Cui Qingci nodded, took the basket into the house, and found the jar where the preserved eggs were placed.
In order to make it easier to identify things, both jars and jars are labeled with labels indicating what is on them.
It is also easier to find when looking for it this way.
Cui Qingci understood it at a glance. She found the big vat, opened the lid, and saw many duck eggs wrapped in mud inside.
She carefully took it out and put it in a basket. Then she took it to the yard, peeled off the dry mud from the duck eggs, and put them in a basin on one side. She would wash them later.
Cui Qingci worked slowly, making one basket and then another.
But there are still many in the tank.
Jiang Zhiluo wrapped all the soap and put it in her backpack.
She used her time to make a lot of soaps, probably more than 200 soaps.
After finishing it, she went to Cui Qingci and said, "Let's get these first. Go to town to sell them first. If they are good, come back and clean the remaining preserved eggs."
"good."
Cui Qingci has little experience in doing business, so she listens to her sister-in-law.
Jiang Zhiluo packed her things and put them on the bullock cart, preparing to go to the town.
Cui Qingci naturally followed.
“Sister-in-law, let me help you.”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "In such a hot weather, you will get tanned if you go out."
Cui Qingci shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, you are not afraid of the sun, and I am certainly not afraid of the sun either."
In fact, the more they get along with each other, the more Cui Qingci likes Jiang Zhiluo. He likes to be with her and feels sorry for her.
My sister-in-law is busy inside and outside the house. She is the one who supports the family. No wonder when she first woke up, her mother kept saying good things about her sister-in-law.
It’s not just good, it’s very, very good. (End of chapter)
