Chapter 54 Who died?
"Sister, sister. What's the matter? What's wrong with your house? Why are you putting white cloth on it?"
Because she was a woman and there was a man in Qiao Yi's house, Wang Chun didn't enter the house, but yelled anxiously outside the thatched house.
Joy rubbed his sleepy eyes before getting up and going outside.
Looking at the sky, it was just getting dark.
"Sister Chun, why did you come so early?"
At this moment, Joey was still sleepy.
"Don't say whether I came early or not, what happened to your house. Why did you hang up the white cloth? Who happened? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Wang Chun's face was full of anxiety.
I didn’t see you this day, why did such a big thing happen?
Who is gone?
"Good morning, Sister Chun."
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
At this time, they were already awakened, and the four people dressed neatly came out in a file.
At the same time, do not forget to say hello to Wang Chun.
This is this greeting, how weird it sounds.
Seeing Qiao Yi's family of five, all of whom appeared in front of him, Wang Chun was taken aback.
This person is fine, why is he still covered with white cloth?
It made her think that someone died.
Even if Qiao Yi was not awake at this time, she was sobered up by Wang Chun just now.
Rubbing her dizzy head, Qiao Yi smiled wryly.
"Sister Chun, our house is fine and everything is fine. Take a closer look. This cloth is not white, but light yellow. This is a cheap cloth I bought for bedding. Because it is moldy , we washed it. It didn’t work out and I wanted you to misunderstand it.”
Wang Chun: "..."
Look at her mess.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention, so I came here in a hurry."
At this time, Wang Chun smiled a little awkwardly.
If it was someone else who was cursed by her like this, they would probably have to fight her desperately.
Fortunately, Joey didn't care.
"It's okay, what's the matter with you coming here so early?"
Joy smiled, hanging so many cloths, it looks really scary from a distance.
"Don't tell me I almost forgot about the business. The blue bricks are fixed, and they will be pulled over tomorrow, and we will start working tomorrow. It will take a few days to dig a well. There is a family in Lijia Village over there who is digging a well. Tools Everything is there, and it should be about the same in three days. I was afraid that you would worry, so I came here early, and then I will go to Lijia Village."
"Well, okay, it just so happens that our house is not suitable for work today."
Joy nodded. There are cloths all around here. If you do work, it will be washed in vain.
You must know that there must be dust in this work.
"I came here for this matter, now that you know, I'm leaving."
"Well, walk slowly."
After seeing off Wang Chun, Qiao Yi touched the cotton cloth that was washed yesterday.
It's a little damp, so it should be almost done in the afternoon.
Although the weather is sultry these days, there is still some wind on this hillside.
So the cloth dries quickly.
After breakfast, Mu Qing and the others started to wind the thread.
The quilt can be started in the afternoon, and they need to prepare the needlework in advance.
Qiao Yi flipped the shrimps. There were more than 30 shrimps in the dustpan, and Qiao Yi turned them over for nearly half an hour.
If it wasn't for the large area on the hillside, the space Wang Chun and the others cleared out was huge, otherwise there would be no place to dry these things.
Qiaoyi was afraid that there would not be enough shrimp, so he went to the river to catch shrimp.
At this time, there are a lot less crayfish in the river. If you want to catch shrimps, it is not like before, just use a basket to catch them, and the basket will be full.
Now it takes several times to catch shrimps to fill up the basket.
After grabbing two full baskets, Joey didn't go home, but walked along the river.
After walking a distance of more than a thousand meters, Qiao Yi discovered that there were only crayfish in the distance from their door.
According to the visual inspection, it is about 200 meters. Most of the rivers in this place are covered with mud. This environment is very suitable for the growth of crayfish.
There are also other places, but they are very few and sparse. If you want to grab a basket, it may take some time.
After Joey observed the situation, he went home with the crayfish.
I thought in my heart that she must get more crayfish these days, otherwise, when everyone in the village knows that crayfish can be eaten, it will be difficult to catch shrimp when I want to catch them.
The pot is boiling here, and Qiaoyi is catching shrimps over there.
This time, Joey didn't peel the shrimp, but poured the cooked crayfish directly on a flat and less soiled ground.
Back and forth, Joey tossed all morning, and the crayfish cooked was 500 catties.
The firewood next to it could have been burned for a few days, but Joey burned it continuously all morning, and there was not much left.
"My wife, cook so many crayfish, can they be peeled? Will it go bad?"
After lunch, Mu Chen approached Qiao Yi curiously like a baby.
"It won't be bad. Let it dry in the sun for a day, and then peel it tomorrow. The main reason is that there are fewer and fewer crayfish in the river. I think I can get more of them now, and we will save some for ourselves when the time comes. In order not to want to eat later It's not easy."
Peel the freshly boiled shrimp when it is cooler, so that the peeled shrimp is complete.
However, if the shrimp is dried for a day and peeled, the skin may be attached, which will damage the integrity of the shrimp.
But now there are fewer and fewer crayfish, and there is no room for Joey to take his time a little bit.
"Can I help you?"
Mu Chen likes to cling to Qiao Yi very much now, and wants to follow him in everything.
He doesn't know why he is like this, maybe the hairpin with plum blossom pattern on his head can tell him why.
"No, I'll do it myself. We'll put the cloth away later, and you guys should make bedding first. If it gets cold in a few days, there will be some covers."
"Oh fine."
Mu Chen was a little reluctant, but he also knew what was important.
After putting away the dried cloth, Qiao Yi told the size of the quilt he was going to make, and then the Mu brothers got busy.
Mu Xuan cut it according to the size, Mu Qing spread out the cut cloth, and then Mu Yun and Mu Chen started to pick cotton.
There are 12 catties of cotton for the quilt and 8 catties of cotton for the quilt. They need to use a scale to measure each time.
Qiao Yi saw that several people were busy, and he couldn't do anything, so he turned and left the room.
She chopped some firewood first, and then continued to fish for shrimps.
Don't look at her as a woman, but Qiao Yi really doesn't know how to do needlework.
She couldn't even embroider something as simple as cross-stitch, let alone work that required tight and neat stitches.
You must know that in modern times, almost all of them are mechanized. If the clothes are damaged, they can be directly sewed by machines, and there is no need for this kind of manual threading.
While chopping firewood, Joy rejoiced, fortunately, she came from the dynasty of the empress, otherwise she must be a woman that no one wanted.
Because a woman knows it, she doesn’t know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or female workers.
Firewood was nearby, and Qiaoyi directly obtained materials from the local area, and quickly got two large bundles of firewood.
The firewood is enough, so Joey continues to catch shrimps in the river.
This time, Qiaoyi met someone while catching shrimp.
I saw three men catching crayfish more than a hundred meters upstream from her.
Qiao Yi took a look, and if she guessed correctly, these people should be the husbands of Wang Chun and his party.
