Chapter 50 What kind of straight male consolation is this

Qixun listened at the side, only to realize that Xiao Wu seemed to be fed up, so he answered her: "Who said no? I see that the clothes worn by the little ladies in the city are all embroidered, and the fifth aunt's family does it. In the silk, satin and ready-to-wear business, I heard that some embroiderers are highly skilled. A pair of embroidery products can sell for hundreds of taels, and the most powerful embroidery women can sell for hundreds of taels. Xiao Wu, your Suzhou embroidery skills are here. But no, your poetry is good, and your mother praises you for your spirituality. If your embroidery is large, it should be regarded as literati embroidery, and its value is not comparable to other embroidery. One piece costs hundreds of taels of silver, right?"

Seeing Xiao Wu pursed her lips and smiled, she continued: "The point is, if you make money from embroidery, it's a gentle affair. It's not like the second brother and the third sister and me, one hunting, the other digging for medicinal materials, and the other being the job. artisan."

Lingyu rolled her eyes at her: "How can there be such a comparison? It's all about making money. Who is more noble than the other?"

Qixun laughed: "This is also true, no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, the cat that can catch a mouse is a good cat. This is the words of a great man."

When Brother Monkey heard this, he understood what had happened, scratched his head and said, "You are the youngest in our family, and our mother is the oldest, so we should keep the two of you, shouldn't we? You and your mother just have to be happy every day. It's done. With your thin arms and legs, we don't expect you."

What a straight man he said.

Lingsu and Gongyu Mingxi almost covered their faces, but Qixun agreed and nodded in agreement.

Lingyu: Hmph!

But she was actually very happy, because she suddenly realized that this is not the palace of Rongguo. Here, the mother is the mother, the elder brother is the elder brother, and the elder sister is the elder sister. Now she does not need to support her self-esteem. You don't have to compare yourself with anyone, and you don't have to worry about being worse than anyone else, asking people to compare them, and being stepped on into the mud.

As the second brother said, she just wants to be happy every day, she is a daughter and sister, and is taken care of by her mother and brother, isn't that what it should be?

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Lingsu took her to the kitchen: "Today should be the day to take a medicinal bath, the second brother and the others will come back late, and if it is delayed until midnight, I will go to boil water, Xiao Wu, help me put the medicinal materials."

The whole family has to take a medicated bath every three days. I have taken it several times, and the effect is very good.

Except for Brother Monkey, all of the mothers felt that their physique had improved significantly, especially Lingyu felt the deepest. In her last life, she was sick and tired from birth until she died, and now she has finally realized the benefits of a healthy body. Therefore, even if every time the medicine bath was painful to death, she still persevered.

Those who have died once know how good it is to live in a healthy way.

The two sisters went to the kitchen to boil water. Brother Monkey couldn't watch the younger sisters busy, so he helped himself to the well to fetch water.

Qi Xun was not idle either, helping Gongyu Mingxi to restore the things he bought from the county.

Gongyu Mingxi then quietly asked her about her fifth uncle and five aunts. It's okay to know that the two of them are fine.

All the things planned for this day were completed smoothly. I didn’t have time to buy the pork and pig intestines, especially the little donkey. Qixun is a little regretful.

After all, to go to the town or county, you have to borrow someone’s donkey cart, or you have to take the ox cart from the village to the town, which is always inconvenient.

She told Gongyu Mingxi that she wanted to buy a small donkey, and Gongyu Mingxi agreed: "Your second brother and your uncle Lu often go to the county town, so you have to buy a donkey and get a car out."

As a result, when it comes to pork, when Brother Monkey and his third sister Lingsu went to the mountains to pick chestnuts, they encountered a herd of wild boars. Without Uncle Lu, Brother Monkey was absolutely dead. There was a herd of wild boars, seventeen or eight pigs, all of them. After killing it, it was put into the space, and when I got home, I only took out one end.

Wild boar is smelly and chai, but now domestic pigs don’t actually taste that good, and if it is made into preserved meat, the shortcoming of chai is not very important. The shortcoming of Chai is not obvious.

As for the fishy smell, the aroma of the preserved meat can be neutralized a lot. If the seasoning is appropriate, it will be much more delicious than fresh meat.

Qixun will come down soon.

A whole wild boar, even the liver and lungs, was made into sausage by her. The wild boar had no oil, and she fried the pork suet into scallion oil. At least there is no shortage of oil this winter.

Brother Monkey and Lingsu have been busy going back and forth in the mountains for half a month, not only picking a lot of chestnuts, pine nuts, mushrooms, but also burning all the firewood for the winter.

Dead trees can be seen everywhere in the deep mountains. Brother Monkey simply brought an axe. When encountering a rare fallen tree, the branches were all cut into sizes suitable for burning fire, and they were bundled and stored in his portable space. He picked up two large bundles, filled the house that had not been burnt down before, and built a straw hut behind the current house. He kept half of it for the donkeys, and he also filled the other half with firewood.

And the trunk of the tree was all collected by him, and kept for the family to build the house and make furniture in the next spring.

And because of Shichihiro's request, most of the firewood was filled with pine. Pine wood is not only flammable, but the key pine wood fires for cooking rice, baking pastries, and smoking bacon, she feels more fragrant.

These days, Uncle Lu didn’t go into the mountains to hunt anymore, he was just storing firewood for the winter.

Not just the two of them, but the whole village is preparing for the winter.

The grandfather’s family has more demand for firewood than in previous years because they are making tofu now. The Lingzhou brothers run to the mountains every day after school. They come back with a bundle of firewood every day. enough firewood.

Because the fifth uncle was away, Gongyu Mingxi asked his son to help the second grandfather prepare firewood.

Lingsu recently followed the monkey into the mountains after the morning class. The monkey was looking for wood and caught some prey, while she was looking for medicinal materials. The family has already prepared a lot of medicinal materials, and they are just waiting to go to the county town to sell them. Years ago, the family relied on the medicinal materials and should be able to add a lot of money.

Fortunately, her great-grandfather and Zuo's grandfather's bodies were well conditioned by her. Now that they are supported by medicated food, there is no need for acupuncture. So she can go into the mountains every day.

Qixun also has something to do here. First, she helped the third sister to purify the wine. After the tiger bone wine was soaked, she started to make a spinning wheel and a weaving wheel. Her monkey brother helped her to make the material, and she was only responsible for it. The construction of each component, fortunately, Brother Monkey went to the county town behind him and brought back the iron components customized in the blacksmith shop.

Gongyu Mingxi opened a small stove for Lingzhou every morning and watched his studies. In the afternoon, he would do some needlework with Lingyu, or help Lingsu to look after the dried medicinal herbs, chestnuts, pine nuts and mushrooms, and occasionally read books.

In short, the family is very busy.

So that the mahjong that Qixun polished for her mother has never been used.

After ?? Brother Monkey packed up the firewood, Qixun asked him to build a simple shed about ten square meters with the blue bricks he had collected, and built an oven inside.
