Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

An Yue sat in the recliner, tapping her forehead with her index finger out of boredom as she thought.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she seemed to have thought of another way.

That is to make - preserved eggs.

An Yue remembers that in the 21st century, when she was a child, she saw an old country grandmother making preserved eggs at home, and she helped her at that time.

Because preserved eggs are so delicious, I paid special attention to the method of making them.

The materials needed to make preserved eggs include lime, straw ash, fine mud, cypress leaves, pepper, tea leaves, and rice husks.

First of all, there is no lime at home. Although not much is needed, it is necessary to have some.

An Yue took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. If she went to the town to buy lime now, she would probably find that the shop would be closed.

So she thought she should go to the village chief's house to ask, if he had it, she would borrow or buy some from him. If he didn't have it, she would have to go to the county town to buy it.

As long as we can find lime, the other materials will be easy.

As soon as she thought of it, she took action. An Yue stood up, put on her bamboo hat, carried a small basket and walked to the west wing. She said to Meng Xiuer, "Sister-in-law, I have to go to the village chief's house. You can take your time to choose."

"Okay, okay, then drive slowly!" Meng Xiu'er raised her hand and responded to An Yue with a faint smile.

Afterwards, An Yue came out of the house and walked along the path towards the west end of the village.

She looked at the fields that had been badly damaged by locusts. When she ran to the west end of the village to find the village chief yesterday, there were still leaves in the fields.

After just one night, the grass was completely eaten by locusts.

An Yue sighed all the way to the west end of the village and walked to the gate of the village chief's house.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Coming, coming." It was a man's voice.

When the door was opened, it was the village chief's son, Li Jing.

He was surprised and asked, "Yueyue?"

An Yue smiled and greeted politely: "Hello, Uncle Jing, is Auntie at home?"

"Yes, yes, she is threshing wheat grains in the east room! Yueyue, come in quickly!"

After An Yue entered the courtyard gate, she walked towards the east room.

After Li Jing closed the door, he followed An Yue to the east room.

An Yue was at the door of the east room, shouting, "Aunt, you're busy!"

Qin was threshing wheat grains in the east room when she turned around and saw An Yue.

He quickly put down the wheat straw in his hand and brushed off the wheat residue on his body.

He stood up, walked towards An Yue with a smile and said, "Yue Yue is here!"

An Yue smiled obediently and nodded.

"Come, come, come with your aunt to sit in the main room." Qin said, and led An Yue to the main room.

As she walked, she asked An Yue, "With this locust swarm attacking, how is Yue Yue's family doing?"

An Yue took off the bamboo hat on her head and said, "All the crops in the fields have been eaten up. Fortunately, we noticed something was wrong, so we quickly asked Chunzhi, Daniu and the others to bring all the vegetables back home in advance.

"Although the loss is heavy, it is not a big deal for the time being."

Arriving at the main room, Qin handed An Yue a bowl of water and nodded, "Well, that's good, that's good."

An Yue took the bowl with both hands and asked, "Have you harvested all the vegetables from my aunt's field?"

"I've taken it back. Luckily your uncle Jing is home, otherwise it would have been eaten by locusts."

"Uncle Jing came back just in time!"

Qin smiled and took An Yue's hand, patting it gently and sighing, "Oh! Speaking of this, I have to thank you very much."

When An Yue heard what Qin said, she raised her eyes slightly and asked in surprise, "What does Auntie mean?"

"Girl! Not only should Auntie thank you, but everyone in Baili Village should thank you."

"Girl, we are blessed to have you in Baili Village!"

When An Yue heard Qin praising her, she raised her hand and touched her neck a little embarrassedly.

"When Yueyue first came to your uncle, she said she wanted to dig a deep well, but your aunt didn't think much of it at the time."

"But so many days have passed, and who knew it would be so dry and last so long."

Qin patted her thigh and continued, "Oh! Fortunately, your uncle insisted on digging a deep well just like you. If he had listened to your aunt, I'm afraid many people in Baili Village would have died of thirst long ago!"

An Yue smiled and said, "Even if Yue Yue didn't say it, Uncle would do it."

Qin shook her head in shame and said, "That's hard to say. How could he fight against so many people? Even I didn't support him at that time, let alone other people in the village."

"It was only with you standing on the same line with him, pushing him a little, like what you said, that made him more confident in his own judgment, that this could be accomplished."

"Also, Yueyue came over a few days ago and suggested that the villagers harvest the wheat in advance."

"Oh, girl! Fortunately, you came over and persuaded the villagers earnestly. The villagers harvested the wheat in advance, otherwise we would have starved after this locust swarm!"

Qin held Anyue's hand, sighing with deep emotion.

An Yue smiled and said, "You are too polite, Auntie. The old saying is true: 'People cannot live without food for a day, and officials cannot live without books for a day.' We who make a living in the soil must always be vigilant!"

"Although we all depend on the weather for our livelihood, humans can see through everything, so we must also be flexible and adapt to changes in the environment."

Qin brushed the hair by An Yue's ear and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, our little lucky star is right!"

If we talk about Qin's kindness to An Yue in the past, she could have been regarded as a benefactor to a certain extent, but that kind of kindness was only because An Yue was indebted to her.

At present, her feelings towards An Yue are more than just a personal gratitude.

Now, she felt that as long as An Yue said it, it must make sense, and it was right anyway, and she was full of praise and love.

The two of them chatted back and forth, and soon they both started laughing.

After a long while, Qin finally remembered to ask An Yue why she came to see her.

"Oh, by the way, Yueyue came to see my aunt today, but what's the important matter?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this. Yueyue came here this time to ask if there is something called lime in my aunt's house?"

Qin scratched her head thoughtfully and said, "Oh, my aunt really doesn't know this!"

"How about Yueyue, just wait here for a while, and I'll go ask for you to see if your uncle Jing knows about it?"

An Yue nodded with a "hmm".

Afterwards, Qin walked out of the main house and headed towards the east house.

An Yue picked up the bowl, drank a few sips of water, raised her hand to support her chin, and thought about other things.

After a few breaths, Qin returned to the main house from the east room.

Qin walked into the main room and said with a smile:
