The Reborn Wife is Farming

Seeing that her saliva was about to flow out, Mu Yangling shook his hand in front of her eyes and said with a chuckle, "Are you hungry? I can cook very quickly. Do you have sauerkraut at home?"

Ma Xiulan blushed, ashamed of her stupidity, and whispered: "There is sauerkraut at home, grandma pickled a lot."

"That's right, let's stew pheasant with sauerkraut. It would be even better if there were potatoes."

Ma Xiulan hurriedly said: "Our family also has potatoes." But why hasn't she heard that pheasant meat is stewed with sauerkraut and potatoes?

Of course Ma Xiulan has never heard of it, because it was invented by Mu Yangling. Her cooking idea has always been: pheasant is a bit fishy, ​​and I don’t like ginger. Go down and soak up the oil.

Mu Yangling said: "You go and get potatoes and sauerkraut, and I'll boil water to remove the chicken feathers."

Ma Xiulan was anxious and said, "Cousin, let me come, you are a guest."

Mu Yangling waved his hand, and said indifferently: "You are still young, let alone I am not a guest, go quickly, otherwise your grandma will not be able to eat a delicious lunch when she comes back."

Ma Xiulan had no choice but to go to the vegetable garden to pull potatoes, while Mu Yangling went to the kitchen to boil water.

Ma Zhang, who was watching from a distance, twitched the corners of her mouth when she saw that Ma Xiulan had only picked up two potatoes and went back. She is stingy when visiting relatives, and entertaining guests is also stingy. It's better not to waste lunch this time, it's better to have lunch at home. Eat at home.

Ma Zhang turned around and left.

Mu Yangling and Ma Xiulan didn't know that they secretly successfully repelled the person who wanted to have a meal.

Mu Yangling always worked fast, so when Ma Xiulan came back, water was already boiling on the stove, and she even fetched water to clean the kitchen.

Ma Xiulan stared at her blankly. Seeing that she was at a loss, Mu Yangling took out the paper bag containing candy, opened it, picked up one candy and stuffed it into her mouth, and stuffed the others into her hand, saying: "This is for you." With my sister, hide quickly."

Ma Xiulan cowardly said: "This, my cousin should eat."

"I have it at home. My parents told me to bring it to you. Hide it quickly so that no one outside can see it."

Ma Xiulan held onto the paper bag tightly, looked at Mu Yangling with starry eyes and said, "Thank you, cousin." Turning around, she ran back to the room and hid the candy.

Seeing that she was still flushed with excitement when she came out of the house, Mu Yangling turned her gaze away and said, "Where is your rice? Go and measure it out and cook it. The boiling water is almost ready. I'll help you guys." Let's deal with all four wild animals."

Mu Shi was afraid that his aunt would not eat the food, so he specifically told Mu Yangling to clean it up for them, so that they would not sell it and could only eat it by themselves.

What's more, rabbit skins can be sold individually, and a complete rabbit skin can be sold for eight cents. Mu Yangling's skinning skills are learned from Mu Shi, which is no worse than the butcher in the town, so she squeezed two For a dead rabbit, a cut was made in the head with scissors, and then peeled down along the back.

After a while, a complete rabbit skin appeared in his hand.

Mu Yangling smiled slightly, washed it and dried it on the stones in the yard, and said to Ma Xiulan who was squatting on the ground washing sauerkraut, who was dumbfounded at this moment: "This rabbit skin is a good thing. You can dry it and take it later. Go to the town and sell it to the butcher, one piece can sell for eight Wen, and if it is tanned, it can buy twelve Wen.”

Ma Xiulan's eyes were shining brightly, "Then, can my cousin help us make the nitrate?"

Mu Yangling was taken aback, and said: "Your family doesn't have any tanned things, and my tanning skills are not very good..." The most important thing is, if she tanned it, the great aunt would definitely put it in her hands Let her take it back, which is why Mu Shi brought two rabbits to his daughter before telling her to skin them. He knows his aunt too well. She is a woman who is unwilling to owe favors and has a strong nature. Life will be so difficult, and I will not go back and beg my brother and nephew.

Ma Xiulan was only slightly disappointed, and then became very happy.

One egg costs one penny, eight pennies is eight eggs, how much is two rabbit skins? Anyway, I can definitely change a lot of eggs.

Ma Xiulan's men moved faster, not only washed and cut the sauerkraut, but also peeled and cut the potatoes.

And here, Mu Yangling also molted two pheasants, put one in a bucket and chilled it with well water, and chopped the other.

"You keep this one for dinner. Go and light the fire now. It's almost time for lunch. Your grandma and sister should be back soon, right?"

Ma Xiulan looked up at the sun, nodded fiercely, "I'll be back soon."

Ma Liu and his eldest granddaughter are harvesting in the field, and it is the autumn harvest time. Although their family has little land, but because only the grandparents and grandchildren can work, they are old and weak, so they are far behind. .

Ma Liu felt dizzy from the sun, so she raised her head to look at her eldest granddaughter and saw her bowing her head harvesting rice in front of her, she couldn't help pursing her lips.

Her health is getting worse, and she doesn't know how long she will live. The eldest granddaughter is only nine years old, but because of malnutrition, she looks like she is only six or seven years old. If she dies, what will happen to the two children? One can imagine.

It would be great if there was a boy among the two children. In that case, the clan would definitely help her raise the child.

Ma Liu shook her head, her grandson died more than four years ago.

"Okay, let's go back to have lunch first, and come back in the afternoon." Ma Liu called his eldest granddaughter, calculated in his mind, and said: "It should be over after two days of harvesting."

Ma Xiuhong put down the sickle, straightened her waist quietly and walked over, saying: "I still have to recite it and thresh it."

Ma Liushi sighed, "Take it easy, I just hope it doesn't rain." Their grandparents and grandchildren are old and young, and they can only carry half a load at most each time. It is only possible to drag one basket together, and it takes about ten days to harvest each time, but it takes four days to drag it out.

Because she was afraid of being stolen food, Ma Liu slept in the field with a quilt every night. Even she herself did not know how long she would live.

The grandparents and grandchildren tidied up and walked home. When they passed by the valley field, they met Ma Zhang who was going home for dinner.

Mrs. Ma Zhang said with a smile: "Fourth aunt, why did you come back? You have guests at your house today, so you have to go back and have a look."

Ma Liu frowned, "What kind of guests can I have in my house?"

"Oh, I heard that it's your grandniece who brought such a big basket."

Ma Liu opened her mouth slightly, and couldn't help but tighten her hand with her eldest granddaughter. She quickened her pace and said, "Thank you, my niece and daughter-in-law, for telling me."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Mrs. Ma Zhang smiled.

The person next to him couldn't help lowering his voice and asked, "Is it true that the fourth aunt's grandniece came to see her with a big backpack?"

Mrs. Ma Zhang was overjoyed, "Can I still lie to you? But the basket is full of leaves. I heard from her that her mother wants to eat the sauerkraut pickled by my aunt."

Many people around listened with their ears open, and shed tears of sympathy for Mrs. Ma Liu when they heard the words. The relatives of this natal family have not been to the door for many years, but this visit was an autumn wind.

There were also people who frowned and defended Ma Liu, saying, "Fourth Aunt Ma is suffering enough, why is the autumn wind blowing on her head?"

"Maybe it's a relative whose life is more difficult."
