Good luck every time

Li Ruyi couldn't help either. She just looked at them from a distance and then ran back home quickly.

It's not easy for people to work in such hot weather under the scorching sun.

After all, she was working for her, so no matter what her purpose was, she had to express her opinion.

After returning home, she gave money to the third child and asked her to go to the village to buy a few pounds of mung beans.

The third brother took the money and ran to his third aunt's house. His third aunt didn't have mung beans at home, but she knew who had them. She took the third brother to buy two hundred coins of mung beans.

Two hundred wen of mung beans are not much, but mung beans are food after all. This period is the lean period between the harvests, and is the time when food is most expensive.

Li Ruyi brought out the big pot from home, washed the mung beans, and soaked half of them in water, preparing for use tomorrow.

Fill the pot with the remaining water, cover it and cook over high heat.

There was no sugar at home, so Li Ruyi added a little less salt when cooking.

The big pot was burning brightly, and the mung beans were cooked into pieces in half an hour. Li Ruyi poured the boiling mung bean soup into a wooden barrel.

She found a large spoon and stirred it to cool it down. When it was warm, she asked the third child to bring the bowl, and she carried the wooden bucket to the river.

When people saw the two sisters on the road, they greeted them with a smile.

"Ruyi is going to the river?"

Li Ruyi agreed with a smile.

"Hey! Uncles and aunts have worked so hard, and we sisters don't know how to thank them, so we cooked some mung bean soup and sent it to them!"

When they heard about the mung bean soup, everyone passing by took a look inside, and Li Ruyi was also very open about it.

"Oh! You put so many green beans in there. You kid..."

Li Ruyi just smiled.

The third brother joined in.

"My second sister said this is what we deserve! We may be poor, but we have great ambitions!"

Li Ruyi had no choice but to kick the third brother, but everyone who heard this would praise him.

"Your second sister is right!"

"Ruyi is a kind and righteous child..."

Sanjia Village suddenly changed from the noisy and chaotic situation of the previous few days to a harmonious and beautiful place with harmonious neighbors and everyone working together.

Everyone was happy for a moment.

The people working by the river were all shirtless and shouting slogans.

Several people worked together to mix the mud, and several people worked together to drag the bricks.

When Li Ruyi came over, a large area of ​​adobe had already been laid along the river.

The people around who were watching the fun were also busy, pointing and talking at those who were working.

"Oh my! I can't tell! Li Gangzi's body is as thin as a praying mantis, and he has a lot of tendon meat!"

"That's right. Li Gangzi is just a little short. He can still be a bit fatter at 25! You're still young, it's not the right time yet."

"Wow, wow, wow...you're already seventeen or eighteen years old but still look young!"

"That's all! This time their family was given another two mu of land. I think this kid is hardworking and a decent person, and he won't be a burden to the family..."

Li Ruyi took a quick glance and didn't expect that the man who was looking for the girl at home had come here to do the fortune-telling!

But then again, the Li family members have all obtained land this time, and it has become easier to arrange marriages for many families.

Li Ruyi stepped forward carrying a bucket of water.

"Hey, everyone, make way, make way!"

Someone heard her voice, turned around, and saw her carrying a wooden bucket that was almost taller than her.

"Ruyi? What is this?"

Li Ruyi agreed with a smile.

“Mung bean soup!”

At this, the crowd watching the fun burst into laughter again, and some people even made fun of it.

"Ruyi, you are too shameless!"

"That's right. We are all villagers who work hard on the farm. How can it be worth it to drink this just to drag a brick?"

Li Ruyi seized the opportunity and quickly increased his fame.

"I don't like what you said, sir. We villagers earn our livings and have a good life! It's just that I don't have it. If I had it, I would also bring the Jade Emperor's nectar to my uncles!"

This advantage of being young should not be wasted. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the people around him burst into laughter again.

"I never noticed before, this kid has such a sweet mouth and drinks sweet wine!"

"Hahahaha... or so I say, this name is a good change, it will bring you good luck, all the blessings are ahead!"

"Hey, is this mung bean soup delicious? Give me a bowl too."

Someone shamelessly came up to ask for it, and Li Ruyi's face turned stern.

"No, I have to drink it first. If you want to drink it, go to work! When you are done, I will bring it to you myself."

People are much more tolerant of her.

They also followed her words to tease those shameless people.

Li Ruyi arrived at the river bank, called everyone over, and gave each of them a bowl of mung bean soup.

Everyone was so thirsty that some of them didn't even taste the mung beans, and just swallowed them all, dry and watery.

The empty bowl can be given to the next person.

This is the condition at the moment, no one should look down on anyone else.

After Li Ruyi had given everyone a bowl, there was still a little left, which she gave to the elders who were working.

He went upstream and fetched a bucket of water, then shook off the mung beans stuck to the wall of the bucket.

Who would want to drink ordinary water when we have mung bean water? Everyone gulped down the whole bucket of water.

After sweating all over, I feel much more energetic.

Only then did Li Ruyi carry the bucket home.

After returning home, she washed the bowls and separated them from her own bowls.

The men spent the entire day paving the river bank with adobe bricks.

The next day, the adobe bricks were exposed to the sun by the river, and the Li family went to Li Ruyi's yard to reclaim land.

Li Ruyi asked her elder sister to cook mung beans at home today. She went to the county early in the morning and bought a lot of mung beans and two kilograms of salt.

Salt is not cheap. The production of salt wells, salt mines and salt lakes is to supply the people of the entire Da Qi. Not only is the output low, but transportation is also difficult.

Here, a pound of coarse salt can be sold for fifty cents.

This is the result of the court's regulation, otherwise it would only be more expensive.

Li Ruyi carried the things back home, and when she got home she took out the fish maw and steamed it again.

After steaming it until soft, she took out the stone mortar for pounding garlic, put the fish maw in it, and started pounding it.

It is said that a good man can't play one or two rubbers in a day. Li Ruyi is not a good man, but she can't play one or two rubbers in a day either.

She felt that the stone pestle had been knocked into pieces by her, but the fish bladder didn't seem to react much.

Li Ruyi pounded hard from morning till dark.

Today's mung bean soup was sent by my eldest sister.

By dark, the fish bladder had not turned into the shape she wanted.

Li Ruyi could only cover the lid and wait until the next day to continue working.

When Li Ruyi woke up the next morning, he started to feel pain from the back of his neck, and both arms felt like they were filled with lead.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't even get up, but Granny Ding usually didn't care about anything else, but she became terribly strict when it came to things related to practicing martial arts.

Li Ruyi was hit twice by the willow branches. He climbed up from the kang groaning and went running with his arms raised.
