Chapter 10 The best sister-inw in the 1980s (10)
"Yinyin, after breakfastter, you go to grandma''s house. Thest time you hit a tree, your uncle heard about it and made a special trip. He brought a sack of mountain products, a bag of brown sugar, and thirty eggs. This time you won the prize, give them some to try as a show of respect and filial piety."
Xu''s mother exined one by one, "Come home for lunch. Mom will make braised pork for you. Don''t be greedy if your grandma keeps you alive. Life in your uncle''s family is tight and it''s not easy..."
Xu Yin twitched her mouth, who did she think she was? Is she that greedy?
Mom, let me go now. When the sunes up, will the meat go rancid?
Thats okay, you can bring some steamed buns to eat on the road.
How does she eat while riding a bicycle? Forget it, lets keep it true to my mothers kindness.
Xus mothers natal family is in Daao Vige.
Although it is also part of Shuangxi Township, it is separated by several viges and is in the mountains, making it inconvenient to get in and out.
The road from the vige to the countryside is still muddy in rainy days and dusty in sunny days, and buses are not essible.
The bicycle ride is also bumpy, but it is better than walking for two or three hours.
Xus mother knew that her daughter was delicate and would not let her run this errand normally.
But as she said, after her daughter hit a tree and faintedst time, her parents'' brother came to visit her after carrying a sack for half a day. It was okay if there was nothing at home. There was meat, and there was a lot of it, so she had to return the favor no matter what.
Xu Yin rode for an hour and finally arrived at Da''ao Vige.
Da''ao Vige is in the mountains, and many houses are built on the mountainside.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, so Xu Yin simply locked her bicycle under the big locust tree at the entrance of the vige.
While still searching for her grandmothers house in her memory, a woman from the vige recognized her:
"Ah! Isn''t this the granddaughter of the old Geng family? Come to see your grandma and uncle? Oh! You even brought meat! How filial!"
"Axiang! Axiang! You came just in time. Your niece is here and she brought some meat!"
Li Axiang, who came to wash clothes at Xikan Pier, looked over after hearing this. When she saw that she was indeed her husbands niece, she put the wash basin on the stone and stepped forward enthusiastically:
"Why are you here, Yin Yin? Are you tired? Take a walk and go home with your aunt to have a rest."
It''s no wonder Li Axiang is so enthusiastic. She has been married to the Geng family for so many years, and she rarely sees her niecee to the door.
Besides, he was carrying a knife of meat and two cans of oranges.
Xu Yin followed her aunt, walked up and down the mountain road, and came to her grandmother''s house.
Grandma is old and has bad eyesight, but my granddaughter still recognized her at a nce.
Smiling kindly, he asked Xu Yin to sit down and asked his daughter-inw to boil water to make sugar tea.
"Grandma, don''t be too busy. Auntie, don''t be too busy. I''m just here to give you some meat. This is the prize I got from working on the farm yesterday. It''s not much. It''s just enough for one meal. I just want you to be happy. "
Xu Yin handed the meat, two cans and a pack of brown sugar to her grandmother.
Canned and brown sugar were sold when she passed by the supply and marketing station in the town, and she remembered that the system warehouse had a lot of them.
Didnt she dress up as a peasant girl in herst life? She followed the fleeing team all the way south and finally found a ce to stay after going through all kinds of hardships.
That ce is rich in sugar cane. I gained energy points through farming and exchanged them with the system for a recipe for making brown sugar.
With this, you can start a business, open a workshop, and build a manor.
Other fruits are not grown as much as sugarcane.
But after the disaster years, the weather gradually became smoother, and the harvests became better year by year. There were too many fresh fruits to sell, and there was no preservation technology at that time.
Just bite the bullet and spend a huge amount of energy points to learn how to make ss.
With her left hand, she carefully copied it on an old yellowed parchment scroll. When the imperial envoy who was devoted to the people, honest and fair passed through her jurisdiction, she hired a little beggar to deliver it to him.
After waiting for two years, the imperial court finally established a ss workshop. Since then, the price of colored ze has dropped significantly, and ss has be popr, which greatly provides convenience for her to make a series of canned products such as canned fruits and canned pickles.
Produced by the system, the canned and ancient brown sugar produced are no worse than simr products sold in supply and marketing stores.
In addition to the two kilograms of brown sugar, I also found two cans of canned oranges.
She didnt dare to take out lychees, longans, yellow peaches and other items that were not avable in supply and marketing stores.
"Come here, why are you still buying these? You still have a rtionship with grandma."
Grandma Geng pretended to be unhappy and scolded a few words, and then smiled happily:
Yin Yin earns money for the family while she is still studying! She will definitely be sessful in the future!
Li Axiang is also enthusiastic and smiling:
Yinyin, sit down and chat with grandma for a while, and aunt will make you a bowl of egg noodles.
No need, aunt, I had breakfast before I came.
"Then boil a soft-boiled egg. It''s still early at noon, so let''s cushion your stomach first. Your uncle went into the mountains and hasn''te back yet. It just rained yesterday. I guess he can pick up some mushrooms. You can take some hometer. No. If something is good, just try it."
Xu Yin is quite interested in mountain products.
Authentic wild mushrooms will be sold at a premium inter generations.
Does uncle go into the mountains every day?
"That''s not true. I only went there a few times when I had free time. Didn''t we do the joint production contractst year? Our family has a small poption, and your uncle is alone. The stall is too big and he can''t handle it, so he hired one close to home. I nted some local peaches and green plums on the hilltop. This year they only bloomed but did not bear any fruit. I dont know if there will be any next year. I feel quite unsure. Your uncle is a restless person and goes to the mountains every now and then to pick up some mushrooms and mushrooms. Dig some bamboo shoot tips, dry them in the sun and save them. Someone wille to collect the mountain products before winter, and you can exchange them for some money."
Li Axiang cooked a bowl of soft-boiled eggs quickly and sent it to Grandma Geng''s room. She also chatted with Xu Yin about household matters.
Xu Yin''s heart moved when she heard this.
She remembered that after dressing up as a peasant girl fleeing the famine, a batch of improved fruit saplings appeared in the system mall.
All the products that are purchased can be exchanged for energy pointster.
After clinging to life, she used the energy points she umted to exchange for severalmon fruit saplings, including peaches and plums, and the fruits they produced were delicious.
Thinking this way, I logged into the system mall and took a look.
Well, the system is indeed bloated.
A small peach sapling requires 500 energy points.
The money she earns from riding these days is not enough to pay for a sapling.
Fortunately, after the tractor driving skill was upgraded to S yesterday, there are also rewards for plowing.
For every half acre ofnd plowed, 50 energy points will be awarded.
Its a pity that there is still more than a month before the double robbery, and even if there is a tractor in the vige, they may not be willing to let her drive it.
So, this energy point is a bit like a carrot hanging in front of a donkeyout of reach.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Xu Yin asked her aunt:
We dont raise any chickens or ducks at home? I heard from my ssmates that city people like to eat pheasants raised in the countryside. They say the meat is firm and fragrant. The eggsid by pheasants are also very popr.
How many pheasants are raised behind the house? Are the pheasants you mentioned raised in the mountains? Arent they going to run away and not be found again?
"Didn''t we nt fruit trees? Put up a few fences between the fruit trees and enclose arger chicken farm, so that the chickens can find their own food inside and peck at the insects that fell from the trees. The chicken manure piled up It can also add fat to fruit trees.
Li Axiang''s eyes lit up when she heard this: "This is a good idea. When your unclees back, I will discuss it with him."
