Upon hearing this, the village chief's wife immediately said: "Yes, why not! Don't worry about the money, just wait until you have more money to pay back!"
The village chief's wife immediately put down the wooden basin, wiped her hands on her apron, walked into the kitchen, and took out a clean cloth bag from the wooden cupboard nailed to the wall.
"I'm going to show off for you right now. Are my grandma and uncle here?"
"No, it's the owner of the pearl farm. They said they were hungry and wanted to have a quick meal at my house before leaving."
She also couldn't understand how they could go to her house for dinner.
Is it because the eldest sister gave them two candies
The village chief's wife opened the lid of an earthen jar under the cupboard, reached in and scooped out a large bowl of white noodles. After hearing this, she put the bowl of white noodles back into the jar and said, "Oh, that's a noble person! You can't make white noodles." I heard that those noble people are used to eating white rice!
It just so happens that the child's father received a gift from a student yesterday. There was a bag of polished rice in it. I will give you two kilograms! You steam a pot of white rice for others! "
She opened another rice vat and scooped several tubes of rice into the bag.
This kind of rice tube made of bamboo contains eight taels of rice per tube.
"Two kilograms, I'll give you ten cents per kilogram! I'll catch an old hen for you! That chicken hasn't eaten recently. I suspect it's too old to eat. I'm planning to kill it today! "
The village chief's wife thrust the bag of rice into Aunt Feng's hands.
Aunt Feng took the bag and said, "Sister-in-law, this is four or five kilograms of rice!"
She clearly saw the village chief's wife scooping five tubes of rice.
That rice tube was made by her man. One tube of rice is exactly eight taels!
"My rice tube has been replaced. It only weighs two kilograms! If you don't believe me, let me weigh it for you to see?"
Aunt Feng: "......"
The scale at the village chief's house is different from his own, and I don't know what's wrong!
Things weighed on the scale at my own home are always heavier than those at the village chief's home.
The village chief’s wife said: There is something wrong with your scale!
The village chief's wife walked out of the kitchen and went to the chicken coop in the backyard.
Among a group of chickens, she immediately spotted the fattest and most muscular one!
She stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed the big plump hen with her backhand.
The big hen fluttered in her hand a few times and then stopped moving.
She turned the chicken upside down and brushed the hair off its butt to take a look.
They are going to lay eggs in the past two days, but they have not laid any eggs before. The hens that have been raised until they are about to lay eggs but have not yet laid eggs are the most delicious!
She walked out of the chicken coop, randomly picked a few straws from the firewood pile, tied a few circles around the chicken's feet, twisted, stuffed the remaining straw ends into the middle of the chicken's feet, and handed it to Aunt Feng: "Here, this The chicken is about three kilograms, so I’ll charge you fifty cents!”
Aunt Feng took the chicken. The gross weight must have been more than five kilograms. She glanced at the chicken's butt hole and said, "Sister-in-law, this chicken is going to lay eggs soon! Just catch me one that's too old to lay eggs." Old hen makes up for it!”
The village chief's wife also knew that she couldn't get away with this: "Okay, the old hen is good, but the meat won't be able to bite unless it is stewed for a longer time! When people come to eat, do you want them to wait for your meal all afternoon? My family doesn't What a lack of a hen that lays eggs! The chickens at this time are the most delicious. Take them back! Say hello to them, and try to work as a long-term worker in their pearl pond in the future. If you can, why worry about not having money to treat Lin Lin in the future? right?"
She knew that a truly wealthy family wouldn't eat chicken but those old hens that couldn't lay eggs!
repair? Make up for it! All the nutrients in the body are absorbed by the eggs! What else should I supplement
People only eat chickens that are about to lay eggs but have never laid eggs.
The chicken at this time is smooth, tender, chewy, not chewy, and has a sweet taste.
"Then this chicken is more than fifty cents. Let's sell it for two hundred cents each..."
The village chief's wife picked up a piece of fat and thin pork belly from the vegetable basket, cut off a wax duck on the porch, and put some mushrooms that she had soaked for the chicken stew in the evening, and put them all into a bamboo basket. , and then took a bowl and filled it with a little oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, in case she didn’t have enough at home. This thing was expensive, and she was worried that it would be wasted if it contained too much, and she didn't contain much.
She handed the two-layered food basket to her: "Oh, why did you come up with so much nonsense? I collected the money, and I can collect as much as I like! Go back and cook! Don't worry about these things. You can compensate me later when you make money, okay?"
After saying that, the village chief's wife half pushed and half drove her out of the house!
An aunt who lived diagonally across from the village chief's house saw all this in the yard.
She glanced back and forth at the things in Aunt Feng's hands and said, "Daughter-in-law, I just saw that your eldest sister brought two young men and young ladies who were dressed better than gods and looked better than gods. Entering the house, you can see that she is a noble person in the city. She looks more noble than the lady from the landlord’s family in our village! Is she the person from Pearl Pond? I heard she has a great background!
Hey, aren't you afraid of inviting people to dinner? ! Is this noble person so easy to greet? If he eats your food and develops diarrhea, he may be beheaded!
I advise you to send the person away quickly! Don't be greedy for the little gifts others give you! Otherwise, I don’t know how I will die! "
When she came back just now, she saw the steward from Pearl Pond entering Feng Dachun's house with many things!
There are still two pieces of cloth! No matter what, it’s worth five or six hundred coins!
It made her eyes turn red.
The village chief's wife sighed, "Bah! Don't listen to the big cow wife. It's just a meal, and it's not poisoned! How could you have diarrhea! If you really drive people out, isn't that offending them? Go back and cook!"
If she didn't have to cook for her father-in-law, she would want to help him, because she was afraid that Dachun's daughter-in-law wouldn't be able to do it alone!
Aunt Feng nodded, she was also afraid of keeping her guests waiting.
Then he hurried back with his things.
I get my wages in the evening, and then I pay some money.
But with so many things, one hundred and fifty fen is definitely not enough, and the polished rice costs 40 or 50 fen per pound.
But she was not afraid. She had one hundred and fifty wages per day. She heard that she could work for twenty days. She couldn't figure out how much she could earn, but it was a lot!
The money for medicine is enough for several months.
The child's father can also make some money by selling things like bamboo baskets.
This job was introduced to her by the village chief's wife.
Then give 600 Wen to the village chief’s wife.
"Good intentions are not rewarded. I am telling the truth! How rich and noble I am! I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. How can I get used to your humble meals? I might get diarrhea!"
"Bah! People might get diarrhea if they eat your food. My wife has clean hands and feet, but she's not like you!" She's sloppy, delicious and lazy!
The village chief's wife turned back to her yard, picked up the wooden basin and continued washing rice for cooking.
Danniu's wife wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to argue with the village chief's wife.
Her son is even learning to read from the village chief!
