Chapter 279 Yamen
“I heard that Sister Taozhi’s grandfather passed away a few years ago, and my grandmother raised several children by herself. Both uncles are quite capable. It is said that they have moved to Fucheng now. I don’t know what they do for a living.”
No matter what you do, good conduct and good family should be the same.
Even if you are not very rich, you should still have a well-to-do family.
Su Mulan pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, let's quickly do a better job in our business. Wash this basket of persimmons and put them over there to dry."
"Okay." Bai Shuiliu smiled and started working.
Sumulan dried the persimmons one by one.
The peeled persimmons become more and more beautiful in color, like little red lanterns, very beautiful.
These persimmons sold well at Wu Ji's shop.
Sumulan’s family is getting busier and busier.
Firstly, because I want to eat, and secondly, because I want to start picking cabbage, radish and mustard greens.
Cabbage and radish are afraid of freezing, so they need to be kept warm in the cellar. Mustard greens are shredded with a grater and dried in the sun. Then they are put in a pickle jar, pickled with salt and other seasonings, and put in after more than 20 days. If you taste it, you can take it out and eat it.
Dried mustard shreds have a long shelf life and can be eaten throughout the winter. The mustard shreds have a crisp texture and are very delicious to eat during dry winters. They can be eaten cold or stir-fried with eggs. good.
When Su Mulan was in the modern society in her previous life, she liked to eat this kind of traditional pickled mustard shreds. Now that she had the opportunity, she pickled a lot and prepared to eat it slowly.
The days are passing by in a busy way, and it is getting colder day by day. Shortly after the winter wheat is planted, the first frost of the year will fall, and winter is about to begin.
After winter, there is no farm work in the fields.
Every household began to pick up the various grains that had been dried at home. They peeled the dried sticks, peeled the peanuts, and filtered the soybean residue... Those who should sell it sold it for money, and those who pressed it pressed the oil. It is considered as preparation for winter and New Year.
After finishing all this work, it’s time to get new clothes for the New Year and prepare for the New Year’s food and other things.
This is the peak season for cloth shops, clothing stores and food stores.
Wu Ji’s business is also very good.
Because the weather is cold and dry, it is easier to store many foods, so these foods can also be made in batches and in large quantities.
For example, if you make more cat ears today instead of milk-flavored crispy twists, tomorrow you will make more milk-flavored crispy twists, and you don’t have to make cat ears anymore. If you do it together in this way, it will save more time and effort.
Because of this, Su Mulan had most of the day free today and took four carrot heads to the county seat.
First of all, winter is approaching, so I can go out for a walk while it’s still not cold, take the children to the county town, and buy some food and other things that the children like.
Secondly, I also went to the county town to buy some cloth and make new clothes for the children for the New Year.
The third and most important thing is to go to the Yamen.
Now that I have money in hand, I have to take a trip to get the title deed for the three acres of newly opened land, so that I can feel more at ease in the future.
Land is the most reliable thing after all. If something unexpected happens and business cannot be done, having land can always guarantee the most basic food and clothing and ensure survival.
