Chapter 16 Trivia
The 20 kilograms of millet noodles that the Yao family has saved enough for a month. The old man has his own considerations and did not get the wild boar meat to exchange for rice and grain.
The wild boar finally let the family eat a meal of meat. The third sister-in-law of Li Niang boiled the pine oil in the pig's internal organs into lard and put it on. This can be eaten for several months, and the oil residue is not wasted. Next time you cook, you can add some oil.
The heart, liver, lungs, large intestine, etc. were also made with meat and vegetables, but the large intestine was fried and it tasted good. It should be that the cleaning method was wrong. Ning Yue couldn't say, what did you know when you were three years old?
Everything was settled, and Yao Jiati took out the goblin. If there were no goblins, he would not have given up two big wild boars.
I looked at the things on the table, I had never seen them in my life, and I couldn't see anything when I looked at them for more than a dozen eyes. I was so happy to hear Yao Jiati say that he could exchange money. Now I really don't have to worry.
The goblins that Yao Jiati took out were actually modern ginseng, and they gave Ning Yue two red fruits that looked like flowers, saying that they discovered the goblins because they wanted to pick flowers for Ning Yue.
Ning Yue looked at the two red flowers and fruits, but she didn't know that this was a ginseng fruit. The ginseng we saw were all processed in the pharmacy and had seen them raw, but she really had never seen the fruits.
I took the ginseng fruit and looked carefully. The flower fruit is spherical, red, with two seeds in one piece. Ning Yue would have to plant it as a "Qiankun Mansion". I would try it tonight.
Yao Jiati told Grandpa Yao that he wanted to go to the county town for two days to find Li Niang’s cousin Zhou Yan to see how goblins sell their way.
Now it is the end of October, and the weather is getting colder and the people in the village are quickly going up the mountain to pull firewood to prepare for winter. Now there is something to eat at home and it is impossible to spend the winter. Yao Jiati decided to go and have a look the next day.
It takes 60 miles to get to Xinghua Village. Under normal circumstances, it takes two hours. Because Yao Jiati’s feet are not good, he went to the town and took a carriage that delivered the goods and returned to the county town.
When I arrived in the county town in the first year, I just stopped and met Zhou Yan who was patrolling the streets. It turned out that Zhou Yan was a patrol captain. When it came to Zhou Yan, I had to tell another story.
8 years ago, 17-year-old Yao Jiati went to serve in the military on behalf of his brother and saved Zhou Yan's life on the battlefield in the north. The two were injured and returned to their hometown. Zhou Yan had a relative who worked as a minor official in the yamen and found a way to go in as a police officer. Zhou Yan was not stupid, and finally became a captain in the past few years.
Zhou Yan is a loyal and smart person, and a group of yamen runners are still very impressed. Zhou Yan was attracted by Yao Jiati's bloody nature and rubbed Li Niang with her. Li Niang's parents also thought the Yao family was a good one, so they agreed, and the facts proved that it was not wrong.
After hearing Yao Jiati’s intention, the two came to the largest pharmacy in the county, "Jishantang". There were not many people in the pharmacy, and there were two people in front of the doctor in the hall to see the doctor.
The boy who was running the hall saw that he was the captain, so he hurriedly went to find the shopkeeper and came out. Zhou Yan reported the purpose of the visit. The shopkeeper invited them to the inner room and asked the boy to call the doctor in the hall. The doctor looked at the goblin carefully and nodded to the shopkeeper.
No matter at any time or in any dynasty, there are many rich people and many people who are afraid of death. Yao Jiati's goblin has only been like this for thirty years, and the shopkeeper has compared one finger.
Here, some goods cannot be said, and they are expressed in sign language. Different things are different with different fingers. One finger represents ten taels. This price is a fair price given by Zhou Yan.
Yao Jiati took out the smallest one, and he left the largest one for the family, such as Ning Yue. So he also understood that the shopkeeper gave it to the real price and agreed to sell it.
After coming out of the medicine hall and going to the noodle restaurant with Zhou Yan, they spent twenty-men to eat a bowl of noodles. Zhou Yan originally asked him to go to his house to sit, but Zhou Yan is in office today and the county town is not peaceful now. The two of them talked about some recent situations, one went to work and the other returned to Xinghua Village.
It was already dark when I got home, and my family was worried about waiting in the main hall. After dinner, Yao Jiati took out ten taels of silver for selling goblins, which was a huge sum of money for families who saved less than 2 taels of silver a year.
Yao Jiati was handed over to his grandmother to put it away. In ancient times, people paid attention to the fact that the high court was not divided. Except for the dowry of his daughter-in-law, all the money he received had to be handed over to the family as all the expenses of a family.
The next day, as usual, they were busy, and they had breakfast around 10 o'clock in the morning every day. After dinner, grandma called on the aunt who was about to clean up the table and did something that Ning Yue was surprised.
Grandma took out three silver corners and put them on the table, gave them to the three sisters-in-law, and said to them: "Boss, second, third family, I have discussed it with your father. Everyone takes this tael of silver and brings a piece of meat home to check it out."
Not to mention Ning Yue, everyone was confused. The eldest uncle was a woman who didn't speak much, but she said, "Mom, did the wife do what she did?"
Grandma: "You haven't done anything. You can't take care of yourself in the past two years of natural disasters and man-made disasters. You haven't returned to your parents' home to see you. We can survive now, but where are your parents' home?"
Second uncle: "Mom, thank you, mom, you treat us well. It is my blessing to be able to marry into the Yao family, but I can't pay my in-laws' home to my parents!"
Li Niang: "I can't. Yue'er spent all the money at home a while ago, so I can't take it."
Grandma waved her hand: "If you don't say these days, I know that you are worried, it's not about you, it's human nature. It's snowing now, it's not winter, and it's not too much, and I can last for a few days."
Grandpa: "Boss, now the family is in the vegetable fields and the mountains. You will take your wife back tomorrow, and then don't go there with the second and third children, and it will cause trouble for others."
Grandpa: "This is what my mother and I think about. We have helped in the village. We can't say that our in-laws don't make any moves. It's not like this, so it's decided."
One tael of silver is not much, one thousand copper plates, and you can only buy 100 kilograms of millet noodles, but it may save the life of the family.
The three sisters-in-law looked at their own men, but they didn't reach out, but the three brothers took them over and put them in their hands.
It was all lies to say that I was not worried about my family. I haven’t been back for two years, so I still want to go back and take a look.
I agreed to take action. My uncle's home was far away. Before dawn, I accompanied him and brought a piece of meat weighing about five kilograms. Here, this is a great gift.
Until the next evening, the uncle and uncle came back. As soon as the uncle came back, he knelt in front of his grandmother, hugged his grandmother's legs and cried.
It turned out that the eldest uncle's mother was sick and her family was empty. The only ounce of silver was just enough to save her. They gave all the money to the eldest uncle's family and left for a day before they came back.
So, the second uncle and his parents decided to go and see it early. The second uncle's house and Li Niang were in the same direction, and there was another village between them, so they were on the same road.
It was dark in the evening before the two families came back. It was obvious that the second uncle and Li Niang were in good mood and cried. It looked like grandma told the situation and the family was safe.
In November, it started to snow, and Ning Yue has lived here for more than two months. Although her family still has wild vegetables and mixed noodles, she can at least eat half a full meal. Occasionally, there are meat and oily food.
There is no kang here like in the Northeast. There is a fire in the lobby when warming up, and everyone gathers together to cook the fire, washing and going to bed early every evening.
After sleeping in her room for a month, Ning Yue ran to sleep with her younger sister Yao Jiayu, and she refused to sleep there. She said that she liked her younger sister and asked her to sleep with her. Her younger sister liked her, and everyone decided without any objection.
The real reason was that one day her spiritual sense happened to come out of the "Qiankun Mansion" and heard that Yao Jiati and Li Niang were doing something between husband and wife. She was embarrassed at that moment and wanted to faint. She was an adult, an adult, and she didn't understand, so she didn't sleep there anyway.
Another advantage of sleeping with my sister-in-law is that she can stay in the "Qiankun Mansion" for a night, but no one noticed it, because my sister-in-law is an eleven-year-old girl and she slept harder.
There is Qiankun in Ning Yue’s “Qiankun Mansion”. She took the ginseng fruit flower inside, and a piece of land appeared not far from Lingquan Pool, with the text showing: Medicine Field.
The medicine field is not big, about 100 square meters in size. Two ginseng fruits have been broken out and 110 of them were planted. She used her spiritual consciousness to plant them one by one like beans, because she didn't know how to plant them.
Half a month has passed, and the seedlings are one foot high, which is a rhythm that is going to go against the will of heaven.
