Chapter 345 Who is this for?
Shuiqing's family is also discussing what new year's goods to bring back.
This time she went to Fucheng Herbal Medicine Shop, which took five carts. She had to buy real things and come back, and she bought all kinds of things - as long as she had them, she could add more and take them out.
Otherwise, if you don't have food, you can't get it by magic.
"Soybeans can be used to make soy milk, tofu, and brains. You can buy more of this." The fields are mostly used to grow medicinal potatoes and fine grains. Even if more wasteland can be reclaimed next year, the harvest will not be until the end of the year.
If you stock up on more before then, you can take out some soybeans and grind them from time to time, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to eat soy products.
"Mung beans can grow bean sprouts and relieve the heat in summer. Red beans are also used to make red bean paste buns."
"You can go ahead and buy peanuts, buds, cereals, millet, etc. The more the merrier anyway." Shui Qing looked at Fan Jin and winked.
Half a scoop of millet can make a big pot of millet porridge. The whole grains are healthy and delicious. Pair it with egg and scallion pancakes, and it's a complete breakfast. Such a good cheat food is of course indispensable.
Fan Jin immediately nodded obediently.
This was the first New Year for Hu's mother to spend at her daughter's house. She didn't need them to buy food. Shuiqing and Fan Jin wouldn't agree even if they bought it, so she told her son: "Buy two pieces of cloth and six pounds of five colors." Sugar balls.”
She made new clothes and shoes for her daughter's family. Although her craftsmanship was not good, she was still very considerate.
As for the candy balls, this is what Wenhua buys every time. The kids rush to get them, so they might as well eat them by the pound each.
"Okay!" Hu Wenhua responded readily.
Fan Jin realized that this was for his family and hurriedly looked up at Shui Qing.
Shui Qing quietly waved his hand.
In this dynasty, living in a son's home is completely different from living in a daughter's home. In the former, even if the son becomes successful and takes his parents to live with him and enjoy the blessings, it is still their own home;
Living in a daughter's house is similar to living in a foreigner's house. It's like a guest, so parents are always thinking about subsidizing her.
It would be impossible not to let my mother give them to me, but it's okay. She also prepared clothes for everyone in the family. Taking this opportunity, everyone has new warm winter clothes.
No matter how bad the world is, you still have to live your life, and you have to live your best life under limited conditions.
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin are also thinking about what new year's goods they want to buy this year.
Their family of three has already stored enough food, so there is no need to worry for the time being. Now that they are living here in Shuiqing, Shuiqing doesn't want to accept the food they have given out, and they can't calculate it clearly, but they must prepare extra gifts.
After the two agreed, they wrote a list for fear of forgetting, and then just buy according to the list.
They didn't stop until the discussion about what they wanted to buy almost filled four carts.
There is still one car left for Feng Dahong and Mancang's four families.
In the first year of my life, during the Chinese New Year, there will be some New Year’s goods that need to be bought.
Feng Da and the others do have some New Year's goods to buy. In addition to the needles and thread needed by women, the most popular ones are various fishing nets.
They were familiar with the water when they were on Zhuangzi, and they could catch fish from time to time to improve their food. However, they did not have money to buy fishing nets at that time. Most of them were homemade cages and the like, so fishing was very difficult every time.
When I came here and used the fishing net, it was really a world of difference! Incredibly useful.
Not only can I eat fish every three days, but also with the various recipes taught by my wife, it’s so delicious that I don’t even have to trade the meat!
So after discussion, the four of them decided to buy more fishing nets to prevent them from being broken or washed away by the river.
Previously, Mr. Bai gave them money to settle down. The owner built a house and had land to live in. He also gave them food, vegetable fields, chickens, ducks and geese. They didn't have to spend money on food. The women in the family all worked in the medicine shop, earning 600 yuan a month. They are willing to spend their monthly money to buy fishing nets!
The most important thing is that they found that the host family loves to eat fish. Originally they didn’t eat it just because no one knew how to catch it. They came to fill this gap. Anyway, catching fish is very easy. They can throw a few nets in the morning and evening. It won't take long.
Hong Daniu also has a selfish motive.
He looked at his two sons and said, "You guys buy some candies."
Hong Mancang's eyes were really big and he asked in disbelief: "Dad, what are the big men in our family doing buying candy?"
Sugar is so expensive.
Master Bai gave them more than a hundred taels of silver, but they couldn't waste it like this!
They used to save on salt, but now why do they need to eat sugar? Not even during the Chinese New Year!
"Dad, you're not going to eat sweetened arrowroot powder and want to keep eating sweetened arrowroot powder, right? Let me tell you, it's good if we have some, but we can't be picky." Hong Manku immediately reminded.
He was afraid that his father would drift away after a period of good times and forget the hard days before.
Hong Daniu took a deep breath, looked at his two sons and rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "As long as you two don't quarrel in the future! I won't do it, your father."
Hong Mancang didn't believe it: "Dad, why are you buying candy? It's not cheap."
"I'm going to give it away." Hong Daniu muttered and had no choice but to answer.
"Who are you giving it to? It won't be to my employer, but Dad, don't forget that my employer has a lot of candies. Didn't my wife say it before? I'm afraid that the summer will melt. If you ask me, let's not give the candies to you. Let's say goodbye instead. Useful."
"The fabric is good, durable and practical."
Hong Mancang and Hong Mancang said fiercely.
Hong Daniu was reminded, yes, there is also cloth!
When I was in Zhuangzi, the poor came to be poor. It was still necessary to propose marriage after sugar and cloth had agreed to marry. Without it, the marriage often could not be accomplished.
It's too late to have a full warehouse, and it's even nineteen years after the year is over, so there can be no further delay.
If you delay getting older, it will be even more difficult for a man to arrange a marriage. Once he falls behind, he will have to become a widower!
He prepared his things in advance, and when a suitable girl came home, he would ask his wife to help him propose marriage, so that he would not be able to go out and delay things later.
Thinking of this, he decided: "Okay, then buy both sugar and cloth.
For sugar, you need two pounds of brown sugar. For cloth, buy coarse cloth. No matter what color it is, buy it first.
I saw many girls in the village wearing flowers on their heads. If you see one that suits you, buy two. "
My son himself understands that he is not very good-looking and his tongue is very stupid, so other girls may not like him.
If you have a flower in your head, you may be more likely to succeed.
Hong Mancang and Hong Manku opened their eyes wide in horror.
Their father, why do you let them buy hair flowers?
They can't use it either.
Who is this for?
After Hong Daniu finished instructing his two sons, he felt a lot more relaxed and turned back to the house. Thinking of the time of the flood, it felt like a lifetime ago.
He originally thought he couldn't survive, but he didn't expect that God was kind enough to let him meet Mr. Bai, and then he followed Mr. Bai here and met his boss. His life was getting better day by day.
Now, I can also worry about the marriage of my two sons.
Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it is something I never dared to think about before.
