Chapter 829 Back to the Emperor's Youth 10
The men do the carrying work, and they earn a dozen or twenty cents a day after working hard. Li can earn one hundred and twenty cents in three days, no wonder she is so happy.
"By the way, Xi Niang, I'm leaving after I'm done cooking. Ye'er and the two little ones need to take care of you."
"Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of them."
Yunxi nodded solemnly, she actually wanted Li to stop working, earning 120 cents in three days, thinking that it was not worth it to work day and night.
But Naihe Li had already told them that if they didn't let them go, they would lose their trust in others, which was not good, so Yun Xi didn't persuade her.
Waiting for her to come back from her work this time, it's not too late to persuade her.
Hearing her words, Mrs. Li was even more delighted, "Okay, good boy, my mother really doesn't know how to thank you. When my mother gets the salary, I will come back and bring you something."
These words made Yun Xi laugh or cry, "Mother, you don't have to bring me anything, and you don't have to thank me. Xianggong is inconvenient, and taking care of him and his younger siblings is what I should do."
After the words were finished, she took out a small silver ingot of fifty taels from her clothes and stuffed it into Li's hands.
"Mother, you can't be without money when you go out. This is for you."
Li Shi was taken aback. Although she knew yesterday that her eldest daughter-in-law had changed her sex, she suddenly became so sensible that she was very at a loss.
Early in the morning, he promised to help her take care of the three brothers and sisters, and he said it so nicely, and he gave her money.
It’s okay to give her money, and if you take it back, it’s five taels. Looking at the daughter-in-law of the entire village, I am afraid that only her father-in-law is the most generous.
Li shoved the silver back into Yun Xi's hands again and again, and said eagerly, "Why give me the silver, take it back quickly, with so much silver, I'm not worried about being stolen or robbed, so I don't dare to go out. already."
Yunxi: …
Mrs. Li refused to accept the money, and kept saying that she did not dare to go out with the money. Yun Xi had no choice but to take the money back and gave her a hundred coins, but Mrs. Li only took fifteen coins. , and the rest will not be accepted.
Yunxi saw that she would not accept it, so she gave up.
Mr. Li carefully placed the fifteen copper plates, and then went to put a bowl of thick noodles, ready to cook.
"Mother, let me cook. There's a lot of sparerib soup left over last night. I'm baking a few pancakes, enough for the morning."
Yun Xi came back with a handful of firewood and asked Mrs. Li to start the fire. Mrs. Li thought of Yunxi's cooking skills, swallowed her saliva silently, and gave up the cooking errand.
After half an hour, a few golden green onion pancakes were ready. After Mr. Li had eaten, he explained a few words to Yun Xi and left in a hurry.
Yunxi glanced at the time. It was still early at 5:10 in the morning, so she could still go out.
She went to the house and wrote a note and put it next to Ji Jiuye's pillow, then went to the firewood room to get a small **** and carried an old backpack, in order to prevent Erbao and Yaya from being confused when they woke up Run, she locked the door tightly.
Hougou Village is located in a remote location. The back mountain is connected to a deep mountain and old forest. She wants to go for a walk in the mountain to see if she can get anything.
The older generation in the village woke up very early. After seeing Yunxi, many people pointed at her, but she seemed to have not heard of it, didn't care at all, and walked straight towards the back mountain.
As soon as stepped out of the sight of the villagers, her footsteps became extremely fast.
The steep and rugged mountain road is very difficult for ordinary people to walk, but she is walking on the ground.
It takes more than an hour for an ordinary person to climb a mountain, but she can climb it in a few minutes, which greatly saves time and cost.
This season happens to be the season when crops are ripe.
Yunxi encountered many wild crops in the forest, such as wild wheat ears, wild millet, wild corn, wild bean pods, etc., but all of them were malnourished and could not be eaten.
And among the weeds, there are also many edible wild vegetables, such as bitter lettuce, lettuce, purslane, shepherd's purse, day lily and other dozens of species.
In addition to wild vegetables, there are also some nutrient-poor wild herbs growing sparsely.
Yunxi did not rush to dig up these wild vegetables and wild herbs, but continued to walk deep into the forest, and then came across a dead tree, which was covered with fat and tender fungus.
Then, she encountered several edible fungi.
Yunxi finally gave up and dug up all the fungus in one go, and then dug up some wild vegetables and herbs with relatively high medicinal value.
After she filled her backpack, she was ready to go home.
However, a huge wild boar attacked her. This is an adult wild boar, weighing at least six or seven hundred pounds, with two sharp fangs on its long mouth, ugly and terrifying.
If an ordinary person encounters this wild boar, with the attack speed and strength of the wild boar, coupled with the lethality of its sharp fangs, it is impossible to survive.
But Yunxi, that's another story.
When the tusks of the wild boar stabbed at her, she calmly crossed the small **** in her hand, left the side of the stick outside, and then stabbed it towards the neck of the wild boar.
Just like that, the rough-skinned and thick-skinned wild boar, under her hands, was like a soft tofu block, and she effortlessly pierced the neck.
The wild boar wailed, and its huge body fell heavily to the ground, losing all its vitality.
Yunxi looked at the wild boar on the ground without emotion, and pulled out the little hoe.
She just wanted to come to the mountains for a walk, and she would have an unexpected surprise. Such a big wild boar should be worth a lot of money, right?
Yunxi bent down and carried the wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms effortlessly. In order to prevent the villagers from seeing, she landed directly outside Ji's house by flying with her sword.
It took more than 20 minutes when we went, and only one minute when we came back.
The door was opened wide, and when Yun Xi went in with the wild boar, he saw that Ji Jiuye's house door was open, and there were voices of conversation coming from inside. It was thought that Ji Jiuye and his brother and sister were both awake.
She put the wild boar and the rest in the firewood room, and went out to wash her hands. Maybe she heard a movement. Yaya and Erbao ran out, two pairs of dark eyes were looking at her.
"Er Treasure, Yaya..."
Yunxi raised the corners of her lips and called out softly.
"Sister-in-law."
The two brothers and sisters also called her obediently, and her small appearance was extraordinarily lovable.
"You're hungry, let's go, sister-in-law will take you to dinner."
Yunxi walked over and held the other in one hand. The two children seemed unaccustomed to it, but they let her hold it, and no one resisted.
Yunxi took them to the kitchen, took them to wash their hands together, and then took out the pancakes from the pan. The golden scallion pancakes exuded a tempting aroma, and the two children suddenly swallowed saliva.
