Chapter 46 - Chicks with bamboo shoots
The price of Luohe Prefecture is more expensive than that of Liutun Town, and it costs two penny for an egg, and a hatchling chicken cub costs eight penny. The two young Jin sisters turned around in the West City two times and found the little chicken cubs. After some bargaining, they bought 14 little chicken cubs at a price of 100 liters. .
Packed the chicks into the empty wooden barrel, the sisters detoured to the pork stall to buy three pounds of oil and the two pig trotters sold to them cheaply by the butcher, the two sisters carried the wooden with the chicks The bucket, carrying a pork wrapped in lotus leaves, happily exited the Nancheng Gate and returned to Wuliqiao.
Wuliqiao is only five miles away from Luohe Prefecture, so it was named Wuliqiao. Although the sisters didn’t walk fast, they went back along the official road and walked home for most of the hour.
At home, I hope that the dolls of the two sisters have seen the figures of the elder sister and the second sister from afar, and the big one ran along with the small one, and saw that there were more than a dozen chickens in the bucket carried by Youjin All cubs cheered and jumped up: “It’s a chicken cub!”
Young Jin paused for a while with a smile, and then a group of six or seven people walked home, chatting and saying, “Sister, can I raise a baby chick?”
“I want to raise too!” The sisters were fighting, happily.
“We all raise together and come home later. Let’s go back to the mountain and cut some bamboos to get a chicken pen, and then you will take care of the young beads. Every day, you and You Bao, You Ling and You Luo will be responsible for the chicks. Looking for food. “You Jin smiled and assigned work to several younger sisters. After listening to it, several of them raised their **** and said seriously that they must resolutely complete the task.
It’s a little unhappy that the little silk is a little unhappy: “Elder sister, and me!”
Before the young Jin spoke, Youzhu smiled first: “Xiaoqi, aren’t you afraid that the chicks will peck you?” Xiaoqi used to be pecked by the big rooster of Yue’s family, so there was still some shadow on the big rooster. Sure enough, as soon as she heard that she would be pecked, Xiao Qi also bowed her head a little sullenly. She also wanted to help, but she was afraid that she would be pecked.
Young Jin smiled and caressed Xiaoqi ’s little head, and said with a smile: “Xiaoqi can help your three sisters work together, do n’t be too close to the chicks.” Hearing the elder sister said, Xiaoqi was happy Nodded.
The Su family in the main room listened to the outer courtyard, and several daughters happily talked about how to raise chickens. They also rejoiced in their hearts. Such a day is almost a human, a purgatory compared to the previous days in the Yue family. Great difference! Thanks to Cangtian, you can still escape that day!

After the Su family moved in, all the items were bought now, and the iron products such as hoe, sickle, and hatchet were also newly bought. When they were bought, they spent nearly two or two silver coins. Looking at bamboo now, it is very easy to use. Young Jin felt that the money was well spent.
There is a whole piece of bamboo forest on the mountain behind the Su family. The young gold brought the young silver and the young pearl to the bamboo mountain. The hand fell and fell, and soon cut three adult bamboos with a height of about 178 meters. Carrying a **** on his back and carrying a hoe, after chopping the bamboo, he wandered around for a while, digging up four plump spring bamboo shoots, and the sisters returned home in full load.
There are no bamboos in Cuifeng Village, so the Su family, including the Su family and others, did not know that the bamboo shoots from the back of Yu Jin could be eaten. Inside the white and tender tenderness, I couldn’t help but feel some novelty, and the young silver who was busy building a chicken pen on the side asked: “Sister, what is this for?”
“It’s called bamboo shoots. Today we eat pork leg stewed bamboo shoots, but they are delicious.” Young Jin answered her questions while working.
Hearing that she ate it, a few little girls who had n’t seen this thing all rounded up: “What is delicious?” Su Shi was also worried. “Jin’er, can this be eaten? Will not eat Is there a problem? “
Young Jin shook her head and said, “I saw some people selling at the market today, there will be no problem.” You Yin just wanted to ask her why she didn’t see it today, and she was stopped by the young Jin’s eyes. Shut up and stop talking.
It ’s just spring now, and the green vegetables that can be eaten have n’t grown yet. Young Jin today saw bamboos all over the mountains and wild fields. He also gave birth to another way to make money. It ’s also possible to dig some spring bamboo shoots and sell them in the city. It’s all done. For dinner that day, Youjin simmered a pot of pork feet and stewed spring bamboo shoots. The Su family gleamed: “This bamboo shoot is too delicious! It’s better than meat!” Chunsun has absorbed pork. The aroma, mixed with the deliciousness of the spring bamboo shoots, isn’t ke better than meat?
The young bead looked like a little hamster, with bright lights in her eyes: “Sister, can this be sold in the city?”
Listening to the remarks of her daughter falling into the eyes of money, Su Shi, who started to go out to eat with the children today, couldn’t help but feel a little sad and a little gratified. The sadness is because he has no ability, which caused a few children to see the money and want to make money; The thing is that several children are very sensible and never need to be distracted too much. Instead, they are thinking about making this home better.
Young Jin showed a smile, and she really had the temperament that most resembled herself and understood her thoughts best, giving her an appreciative look: “You think, it’s only spring now, we also saw it in the city a few days ago Now, the city is selling cabbage and potatoes. It is not easy to eat fresh vegetables now, let alone spring bamboo shoots, even if we are picking some locust flowers, we can exchange money for selling it in the city. ? “
When I heard the young Jin said this, the eyes of several sisters all gleamed brightly: “Really? Can wild vegetables be exchanged for money?” “Will we pick wild vegetables tomorrow?”
“Although you can’t get much silver, is it fine to be mosquito legs? Isn’t it meat?” You Jin tapped her fingers slightly on the wooden table and said, “Even if it’s a penny, it’s money!”
The sisters nodded their heads, feeling that the elder sister said very reasonable, and said in unison: “I will pick wild vegetables tomorrow!” “I will pick locust flowers!” “I will go too!” “I will go too!” The appearance of scrambling, fearing that the young gold will fall behind at home.
“Okay, okay, let’s finish the meal first, will the food be cold for a while?” Su’s chopsticks for each child, and he smiled very softly: “If you want to pick wild vegetables, you must have a full stomach Not? “
Hearing Su’s saying this, Young Jin also nodded in agreement, a few children hurriedly held the coarse porcelain bowls and ate their meals in a big mouth, and soon a large pot of pork feet stewed with spring bamboo shoots was all eaten up.

Early the next morning, the sun in the east hadn’t climbed up to the sky yet, the door of the east room opened quietly, and a thin figure walked out with a light step and closed the door again. Although it ’s March in Yangchun now, the early morning that was covered with mist was still a little cold. Young Jin let out a breath, rubbed her hands, and went to the kitchen. She wanted to make breakfast before everyone got up. After all, apart from the Su family, the whole family must go out to work today.
Some villagers who got up early in Wuliqiao already carried a **** to work, and looked at the cooking smoke rising from the west of the river. They were not as scared as before. The former Qin family was a haunted house, but the Su family lived in. Although they were all old and weak women and children, no strange things were reported. Now people in the village say that the Su family is related to the Qin girl, and the Qin girl is willing to let them settle down!
Of course, the villagers said this in private, and no one ran to the door of the Su family. Moreover, it was not long before the Su family moved in, and they were not familiar with the villagers. The Ge Ge people have only been here once. Therefore, the Su family didn’t know what to say outside, all of them only felt that it is more comfortable to live now than when they were at Yue’s.
Youjin boiled a large pot of coarse grain porridge today, and then fried cabbage with oil residue, then put Su’s crucian carp soup on the stove and simmered over low heat. After being busy for a while, the dishes hadn’t been served, and everyone in the Su family who smelled the smell of the food woke up. After taking the small one, with the help of Youyinyouzhuyoubao, rinse your face with water and wash your face obediently. The well water in the early spring is slightly warm and comfortable.
After everyone in the Su family had washed it, the young gold side had already prepared their breakfast. After a group of people gathered around for breakfast, they were divided into three groups of picking locust flowers, picking wild vegetables and digging bamboo shoots. You Yin took You Ling You Luo to find traces of wild vegetables on the ridges by the river, You Zhu You Bao went to the foot of the mountain with a basket to pick locust blossoms, and You Jin carried the **** and carried the basket to the bamboo forest on her own By now, the rest of the young silk and Su’s were at home.
In fact, the villagers of Wuliqiao also dig bamboo shoots and pick wild vegetables to eat, but since the Qin family accident, many people can not come to the west of the river, so whether it is leaf picking vegetables or picking locust flowers A lot has been gained in the past morning. The young gold digging up bamboo shoots in the mountains, not only harvested a lot of spring bamboo shoots, but also harvested two small bamboo rats!
Carrying a basket full of spring bamboo shoots, on one end of the **** on his shoulders were hanging two bamboo rats tightly bound by rattan. Young Jin hummed Xiaoquer and went home. Before returning home, she met a young pearl carrying a basket full of locust flowers. When they saw Young Jin, they also waved to her with joy: “Sister!”
Young Jin also waved at the two, and then speeded up to catch the two. When she walked into the two people and saw the two big bamboo rats tied at one end of her hoe, she could not help but startled: “Sister, what is this ?!”
“It’s called a bamboo rat, and the meat is delicious!” You Jin explained with a smile: “You can get some silver when you get it in the city tomorrow, too.”
“Bamboo rat, is it a rat? Why would anyone want to eat a rat?” Some young daring daringly grasped the corner of the young pearl tightly, hiding behind her, and asked cautiously.
Young Jin saw that she was afraid, so she took the bamboo rat off and put it in her hand, so as not to scare her: “It’s not a mouse, but the name is a bit like it.” Although you are a little curious, Youzhu is also a little scared. Young Jin was separated by six or seven steps, and the sisters went home together.
After returning home, the two bamboo rats really attracted the curiosity and slight anxiety of others in the Su family. I put it in the warehouse of the Su family. In the early morning of the next day, I carried a young pearl who was going to enter the city with me. I was carrying a bamboo basket in one person. Bamboo rat, the sisters are selling things.
