I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

Just after finishing a shirt, Lu Jingyi came back.

"Xiaoxi, I bought peanuts for you. Raw peanuts are 1 yuan per pound. I bought you 20 pounds, which cost you 2 yuan in total. I have 3 yuan left for you."

"Thank you, brother."

Ji Xiaoxi was a little surprised when she took the money. She originally thought that the peanuts in the supply and marketing cooperative were 4 cents per pound, and the raw peanuts were 2 cents per pound. After deducting the money for spices and firewood, she should be able to earn about 1 cents per pound.

Unexpectedly, raw peanuts only cost 1 cent per pound, so she can earn at least 1 cents per pound.

She can also sell the melon seeds and peanuts in the system backpack. The more rewards she gets, the richer she can become by selling melon seeds, peanuts and watermelons.

Now she buys peanuts and fry them at home to tell her family that she really knows how to fry peanuts. Otherwise, it would be a bit too strange to just take them out for nothing. In fact, she prefers to fry melon seeds, but it seems that there are no raw melon seeds to buy in this season. She has to wait until autumn to buy them.

"Are you making a piece of clothing for a child?" After Lu Jingyi put the things away, he walked over and took a look.

Ji Xiaoxi held up the dress and said, "Does it look good? I made it for An An."

Lu Jingyi: "Well, it's worthy of my wife's craftsmanship. The clothes are really beautiful. But the color of the clothes is too light. It will get dirty easily."

Shen Jiao laughed and punched him, "You know nothing, you just talk nonsense."

Ji Xiaoxi followed with a laugh: "You need to wear a pair of dark overalls outside so that you won't get it dirty."

Lu Jingyi: "It looks pretty good, and it's a style I've never seen before. It's just that I can't do business now, otherwise I could make more children's clothes and sell them."

Ji Xiaoxi: "It's harder to get cloth coupons nowadays. Let's wait until later, it will be quick." It has been in the past two years.

Lu Jingyi: “Yeah.”

Ji Xiaoxi checked the raw peanuts and found that the peanuts were quite large.

Seeing that Shen Jiao was still immersed in making clothes, she took the peanuts to the kitchen, planning to make spiced peanuts now.

The pot at home is quite big, so it is no problem to cook 20 kilograms of peanuts at a time.

It just so happened that the spices she prepared in advance were enough.

Seeing her struggling to carry 20 kilograms of peanuts to the kitchen, Lu Jingyi helped her carry them over and asked, "Xiaoxi, do you want to fry peanuts?"

Ji Xiaoxi nodded: "Yes, I want to make five-spice peanuts. Second brother, can you help me boil some water in the pot? I'll go wash these peanuts first."

Lu Jingyi: "Okay, leave it to me."

After the water boiled, Ji Xiaoxi put licorice, cinnamon, star anise, tangerine peel, fennel, salt and other spices in it, then put the washed peanuts in and cook them, covering the pot and cooking for about half an hour.

Lu Jingyi was helping her light the fire, and after half an hour, he helped her fish out the peanuts.

"Xiaoxi, what are we going to do now?"

"Now we have to take the peanuts out to dry."

"Okay, I'll take it out to dry in the sun."

You have to wait until the peanuts are dry before you can fry them, and then the peanuts will be crispy and delicious.

I can’t proceed to the next step today. I’ll continue tomorrow.

She went back to watch Shen Jiao making clothes. At this time, Shen Jiao had already made the overalls.

"Xiaoxi, take a look, does it look like the one in your design?"

Here, Ji Xiaoxi was a little impressed by Shen Jiao's talent for making clothes. The clothes she made were exactly as she had imagined, and some details were even more detailed than she had considered.

She couldn't wait to go to the door and shouted, "An An, come back soon."

After a while, a little head popped out from the door. It seemed to be playing somewhere, with a little sweat on its forehead. "Mom, are you looking for me?"

Ji Xiaoxi waved her hand, "Come quickly, your second aunt made you a new set of clothes, come and try them on."

Lu Qianan ran over happily, "Come and make trouble~"

Ji Xiaoxi helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead, took off his dirty clothes, and changed into new clothes.

Shen Jiao propped her chin up with her hand. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. She felt a great sense of accomplishment. "It's really beautiful. I'll make a pair of dungarees for our two boys."

Ji Xiaoxi patiently arranged his clothes, held his son's arm and looked him up and down, feeling very satisfied, "My son is so handsome, he looks so handsome after a little dressing up."

When Lu Qian saw his mother praising him, his eyes curved into crescents and he smiled with his little teeth showing.

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and scratched his little nose, teasing him, "Does An An like the new clothes?"

Lu Qi'an replied in a baby voice: "Xi Huan~"

Ji Xiaoxi: "This dress was designed by my mother and made by your second aunt. It is a one-of-a-kind dress. An An must take good care of it, okay?"

Lu Qian'an touched his clothes with his little hands and nodded his head, "An'an knows how to deal with it."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Okay, the size is just right, take it off."

Lu Qian'an was reluctant to take it off, so he lowered his head and put his little hands in the front pocket of his overalls without moving.

Lu Jingyi smiled and said, "Our An An is reluctant to take it off."

Ji Xiaoxi touched his little face and comforted him, "Wait for mom to wash your new clothes before we wear them, okay?"

Lu Qian raised his little head and asked, "Wash it before wearing it?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "Yes, these fabrics are not very clean. An An will easily get acne if she wears them."

"Okay." Lu Qian'an obediently stretched out his hand and let her take off her clothes.

After helping him put his clothes back on, Ji Xiaoxi ruffled his son's hair and said, "An An, go play again. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

It was getting late, and it was time to prepare dinner. Shen Jiao packed up the sewing machine and Ji Xiaoxi packed up the remaining fabrics.

Early the next morning, Ji Xiaoxi went to the yard to fry the peanuts that had been dried the night before.

I poured a bag of salt into the pot first. Fortunately, Du Yumei didn't see it, otherwise she would have scolded her. However, this salt can be reused. I can use it next time when frying melon seeds, so it's not too wasteful.

When she was frying peanuts, Lu Jingguo happened to come to the kitchen to get water. Seeing him frying peanuts, he asked, "Xiaoxi, what are you doing?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "Brother, I'm making spiced peanuts."

Lu Jingguo came over and said, "Come, let me help you stir-fry. You are so weak that you can't stir-fry."

Ji Xiaoxi made way for him and said, "Brother, aren't you busy at work?"

Lu Jingguo: "Oh, by the way, go and fill the kettle with water for me first, and I'll take it to the field later."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Okay, I've already fried the peanuts for a while, just a few more minutes, and you can take some with you on the way."

Lu Jingguo: "Well, you know what, your peanuts are quite fragrant."

Ji Xiaoxi handed him the pot filled with water and said, "Brother, why don't you try it? See if it tastes better than the peanuts you've eaten before."

Lu Jingguo reached into the pot and took a few peanuts. He cracked them open and tasted them before saying, "They are indeed better than any other peanuts I've ever eaten. They are very crispy and fragrant."

At this time, Lu Jingyi also came to the kitchen to get some water. Seeing the peanuts in the pot, he said, "Xiaoxi, are your peanuts ready?"

Ji Xiaoxi scooped some peanuts with a spatula and handed them to him, "Second brother, you can try it too."

After cracking a peanut, Lu Jingyi smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, no wonder you used so many spices to cook peanuts yesterday. These peanuts are really fragrant."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Is it delicious? I plan to use these peanuts to make some money."

Lu Jingyi smiled and said, "Should we sell it on the black market?"

Lu Jingguo immediately stopped her: "No, it's not safe for Xiaoxi, a female comrade, to go to the black market alone."
