Chapter 23

Finally, osmanthus or to buy some meat back, but buy is fat. The food I usually eat is too short of oil and water. Winter is coming. I can't survive without oil.

In addition, osmanthus also bought a lot of coarse salt. She planned to pickle some pickles in winter.

In winter, most of the people in the village are idle, and most of the adult men go into the mountains together. They come back every day or two, but they can bring back a lot of wild goods.

Guinan also went with his brothers and uncles once, but most of the adults regarded Guinan as a child. He felt uncomfortable. After going there once, he didn't go any more. Instead, he took Guiqing to catch a lot of fish in the stream in the forest with the method of osmanthus.

The closer it is to the Spring Festival, the colder it will be. The creek in the woods freezes as soon as it gets up in the morning. As long as you dig a hole in the ice and stay there for two hours, you can harvest a kilo or two of fish when you go back at noon.

Sweet scented osmanthus takes advantage of the sun at noon to clean up the fish, marinate it with coarse salt for one day, hang it on the kitchen stove the next day, and often burn it in winter. After a few days, it also has the feeling of smoked fish.

"Sister, I've counted it. There are more than 50 smoked fish here!"

While the osmanthus was cooking, Guiqing looked up and counted for a while, until she felt a little dizzy.

"Did you count it wrong?"

Although there is no money for Guiqing to go to school, Guihua still teaches Guiqing some simple arithmetic. In the past, Guiqing could only count to 20, but now it can count to 100. At the same time, it can add and subtract within 10.

I don't know if it's the reason why I often come into contact with these things in my life. GUI Qing always knows everything at one point, which makes him happy for a long time.

"I've counted them three times, and they're all fifty-one!"

GUI Qing nodded for sure.

"Well, shall we steam a smoked fish today?"

"Good!"

"Go and call my brother-in-law back!"

Said osmanthus stepped on the stool to take a small smoked fish, washed and steamed up. Then put in some of the remaining vegetables in the morning, and wait for Guiqing and Guinan to come back to cook.

"It's getting colder and colder this day!"

Heard the sound from outside the house, osmanthus quickly went out to meet up.

"Brother Tian, please put it here! It's really troublesome for you

"No trouble, just on the way!"

Tian Yuan put down his burden and looked at Osmanthus fragrans with a smile.

Since the roof was repaired last time, Tian Yuan often helped Guiqing, Osmanthus fragrans. Sometimes he put it down and left without saying a word, sometimes he drank water.

Back and forth many times, osmanthus heart is very uneasy, always feel that his family was the benefit of Tian Yuan, at this time see Tian Yuan to go, quickly called him, let him wait for a while.

"Brother Tian, this is the fish from Nannan mountain. You often help me, but I don't have anything to send. Please take this and take it home to taste it!"

Tian Yuan took a look at the sweet scented osmanthus, and then looked at the smoked fish in the hands of sweet scented osmanthus.

"I'm the only one in my family to eat today. I'll just take one!"

Then Tian Yuan picked the smallest of the three and strode out without waiting for osmanthus to speak.

Looking at his back, osmanthus sighed. Since the beginning of winter, Tian Yuan has helped his family a lot, but every time he wants to give him something, he doesn't refuse, that is, he chooses the least, the smallest.

Now every time I go to the market, it's Guinan who borrows the ox cart. Listening to Guinan, Zhang Tianfeng's face is getting better recently.

For Zhang Tianfeng's change, osmanthus always feels that something is wrong, but nothing unusual happens.

Today, it's the last delivery of the year ago, so it's also the most. In order to get the two big box wild vegetables on the cart, the three people spent a lot of effort.

"Osmanthus fragrans, yesterday my wild vegetables were out of stock. I went to see them in the field, but they were thin, small and old! There is no wild vegetable like yours. How did you get so many? "

This day, shopkeeper Li inspected the quality of wild vegetables and looked at Osmanthus fragrans with admiration.

"Those you see are all wild. I fertilize and water them myself. Of course, they are different!"

Osmanthus already knew that shopkeeper Li might have doubts, and she had Countermeasures in her heart.

Shopkeeper Li heard osmanthus say so at this time, and felt that it was also so inside. He nodded. Discuss the delivery date of next year with Osmanthus fragrans, and then let them go.

Today's last business actually made a lot of money. Two kinds of wild vegetables sold for 900 Wen, which is the most money osmanthus has earned in the past year.

Looking at the money in hand, sweet scented osmanthus is in trouble, so much money is too conspicuous, three children take so much money is not appropriate.

After thinking for a while, he finally went back to Guixiang building and discussed with shopkeeper Li. He left 300 Wen in his hands and came back to get it after he bought it.Ten days later, it will be Chinese New Year. The world here is the same as before, so it's very busy to gather people here and there, and there are more jugglers on the street than usual.

Guinan and Guiqing are very busy when they see it. However, osmanthus is like an old lady. They look after the new year's goods on the ox cart, and they have to watch the two children not to get lost.

Three people wait until noon, after all the people in the collection are scattered, they take three hundred Wen money from shopkeeper Li.

In order to buy new year's goods, Osmanthus fragrans spent all the 600 Wen money in hand, but bought a lot of goods.

"Daughter in law, I've never seen these things before Chinese New Year!"

Guinan took a look behind him with the ox cart and asked curiously.

Osmanthus bought a lot of things, so I don't know what my little husband said. There was no memory of Osmanthus before, so she had to introduce it one by one.

In addition to the basic new year products like meat, sugar and melon seeds, osmanthus also bought some rice noodles and white noodles. The reason why we want to buy these is that we need to make dumplings for the Chinese new year, and we also need to make some soft vegetable dumplings.

After listening to the words of Osmanthus fragrans, Guiqing and Guinan both want to leave saliva, and unbearable waiting for the new year.

"Sister, it's new year's day tomorrow. Can we make Yuanzi today?"

GUI Qing is pitifully pulling the clothes of Osmanthus fragrans. These days, he has been living for two days. He thinks it's hard to stay for half a month, but tomorrow is the new year's day.

"Silly Qing'er, tomorrow is Chinese New Year!"

"But tomorrow will be a long time!"

Looking at the rare Guiqing with such a look, the sweet scented osmanthus also has a bitter smile.

"Well, today qinger and her brother-in-law go to the field to pick wild vegetables, as well as soft vegetables. Tomorrow morning, we'll make soft vegetables to eat, OK?"

"Good! Brother in law, let's go quickly! "

As soon as you listen to it, you have to have something good to eat. Guiqing happily pulls Guinan and runs to the fields.
