Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 204 Limited Edition Style

Shen Yuanshan took the basket, lifted the cloth and saw that there were spare ribs and pork shanks inside. His eyes immediately lit up.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going back."

I happily carried the basket up the mountain and had pork ribs to eat in the evening.

Li Chunhong smiled as he walked over and said, "What did you buy, kid? You're so happy."

"Sister-in-law bought some meat, right?"

Shen Suya put the woven net into the basket, stood up and turned her neck.

"Aunt Li, Aunt Miao, I'm going home first. I'll come and talk to you in the afternoon."

The two nodded.

Miao Zhaodi looked in the direction of her home: "Xiaoya is fourteen this year, right?"

"Well, she's fourteen now. If her brother hadn't failed to find a husband for her, he would have found a husband for her by now."

The younger one cannot get married first if the eldest one is not married yet.

Li Chunhong knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "Sister Miao, relax. This matter cannot be rushed."

Her eldest daughter is fourteen years old this year, but she doesn't want her to get married so early.

I was thinking of waiting until she’s fifteen and then finding a marriage partner for her next year.

Miao Zhaodi sighed in her heart. How could she not be anxious? Her son was almost twenty years old.

But she was right, there was no point in being anxious.

Shen Rongshan and Shen Wenshan carried the goods into the house.

"Wenshan, take the cloth home. I'll go and deliver the donkey cart."

"I know bro."

The fabric must be cut into patterns before it can be sent to Li Chunhong's home.

Ji Wenhe came to the door holding corn and said, "Brother Shen, go and tell Uncle Danian to come to our house for dinner tonight and bring the two big black dogs with him."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "Okay, you go home first, I'll come back and make lunch later."

"Yeah." Make some wild vegetable soup and bake some pancakes at noon, and have a good meal in the evening.

He came to the shed with corn in his arms: "The corn is infested with worms. We can still get rid of them if we catch them."

She was heartbroken to see the good corn being eaten by bugs.

Li Chunhong looked at the corn in her arms and said regretfully, "Which crop doesn't have insects? Green vegetables are more likely to attract insects."

It is difficult to catch the little caterpillars, so people in the village don’t like to grow vegetables.

"By the way, are your cabbages infested with worms?"

Ji Wenhe nodded vigorously: "Yes, I sprinkled it with wood ash water a few days ago. I just checked and it's much less, but it's still there."

"Don't pour water, just sprinkle the ash on the vegetables."

"Okay, let's go in the afternoon when it's cooler."

Go back for lunch, take a break, and put the big bones in the pot to slow cook.

"Aunt Li, Aunt Miao, I'm going back."

"Hey, go ahead." The two responded.

She went home to cut the pattern first, as she was afraid that she would not have enough time.

Shen Wenshan went to the fence to get the dried loofah and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to cook for lunch?"

"Are there enough vegetables to make pancakes and soup?"

"It's not enough. How about chopping up the wild vegetables and making pancakes or cooking beans for soup?"

"Okay, you can do it as you see fit."

Ji Wenhe moved the table out, drew a pattern with a charcoal pencil, and then cut it with scissors.

Red long-eared rabbit.

Make it smaller, 15 cm.

It would look better if there was velvet fabric.

"sister in law."

Turning around, it was Shen Wanqing.

"Wanqing is here. It's just right. Let me tell you. This time it's urgent. We need to finish everything on the 8th."

"You're in such a hurry. How many do you want to make?" She stood by the table, looking at the cut pattern. "Is this... a rabbit?"

"Yes, Jackrabbit, make one hundred and fifty. Can the four of you finish them by the eighth?"

"can."

The three sisters did the embroidery, and her mother helped with the sewing of the dolls.

The more you do, the more you earn. They are eager to work more so that they can earn more money.

Shen Wanqing looked at the fabric in the basket and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take this basket back. Give me a pattern and I'll cut it accordingly."

Ji Wenhe spread the cut pattern on the fabric: "Okay, embroider the eyes all in black."

She took out the first cut pattern, which had eyes, a mouth and a nose drawn on it: "Embroider it like this."

"The back of the rabbit is the same as before, all in black thread, and the three words Jinxiufang are in other colors. Use whichever color you think stands out."

"I understand, sister-in-law. I'll go back first."

"Okay, I'll send this basket to you right after it's cut."

The limited edition is a long-eared rabbit, and this month she came up with the idea of ​​making a five-pointed star, still in different colors.

I was excited and thought that I should be able to get a lot of dividends by the end of the month.

After doing the math, I made more than six points last month.

I spent almost three taels of silver on purchasing goods, and after deducting the purchases and adding the dividends, I had a little over three taels of silver in my hand, which was short of a hundred or so wen to four taels.

It would probably cost more than ten or two taels to buy cotton and cloth, and oh, shoes.

Tsk, I just made some money and I have to spend it again.

However, as I see more and more things at home and the food getting better and better, I feel a very comfortable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Shen Rongshan came up from the bottom of the mountain: "Wen He, Master said to come over in the evening. He will go into the mountain later to see if he can catch wild rabbits and pheasants."

"Okay, I want to put the pork ribs and the shanks in the same pot and cook them. I'll cook half a pot and send some to Aunt Lan's house."

"A lot of the corn in our field was eaten by insects, and the corn grew small, so we couldn't harvest much."

There are not many corns planted. If you eat one today and want to eat it again in two days, you can only break them and cook them, and you won’t be able to harvest many.

"Next year, we will plant corn on the wasteland. This year, we will cook the corn at home and use the land to plant cabbage."

After dinner, I chopped the corn stalks, dried them and used them for firewood.

Ji Wenhe agreed, "The plot of land near the road should be used to grow corn. How about planting corn on the two plots next to it?"

"The plot of land where we drove them for the experiment is not small, enough for them to live."

"Okay, but we need to put up a fence in the middle to separate the geese and keep the ducks and chickens together."

The goose is bossy and will bully the ducks and chickens.

"Okay, let's talk about it next year."

The geese have been separated now. I went for a walk in the wasteland a few days ago and saw the geese chasing the chickens. They had to be separated.

After lunch, I continued to cut the styles. After all the styles were cut, I sent them to Li Chunhong's home.

Shen Rongshan and Shen Yuanshan went up the mountain to chop firewood, as all the firewood at home had been burned out.

Ji Wenhe drove the ducks and geese out for a stroll, and when he came back he met Jiang Hongxi by the creek.

Ever since the last incident with her son, the two hadn't had any private contact. They only saw each other from a distance and wouldn't go out of their way to talk to each other.

"Aunt Jiang, I'm doing the laundry."

She turned around with a smile on her face: "Yes, it's not hot to go out at noon."

"Fortunately, it's cool under the shade of the tree and there's wind."

"I see your chickens are well-raised and look better than ours. What do you feed them?"

Ji Wenhe did not hide anything and told her the method he heard from the lady selling eggs. It was up to her whether to do it or not.

Jiang Hongxi looked at her own land and said, "My family can't do that. We don't have any vacant land, and sorghum is too expensive."

Her mother-in-law and father-in-law would not agree either.

"You have so many fields in your family, you can just vacate a piece, but it's up to you."
