The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms
Chapter 126 This is Paper
Feng brought two baskets of purslane, which were neither heavy nor light. When Mrs. Zhou saw them, she put down the loofah basket and quickly took the basket from her daughter-in-law.
"Hongyu, look at yourself. If you feel heavy, just carry less."
But Old Mrs. Zhou was scared to death. These two baskets of purslane were not light. Although pregnant women would go to the fields to do some work, that was only when they were in good health. Her daughter-in-law had even taken pregnancy-preserving medicine some time ago.
"I know, mother. I thought it wasn't heavy, so I brought it back with me."
Feng brought a stool over and planned to pick the dishes.
Old Mrs. Zhou took a knife, sat next to her daughter-in-law, and started peeling the loofah.
"Mom, I have to say, this loofah grows really fast, and the fruits are plentiful and good. It grows much better than cucumbers, and tastes pretty good."
"Yes, I just applied fertilizer to the cucumbers, why don't they grow well?" Old Mrs. Zhou was also puzzled.
"It's the same with purslane. You can pick it everywhere. It grows very fast and is still tender when you pinch it. Although I didn't grow it myself, I still feel very happy."
"That's true, but we just found out that this thing is edible. If we had known it a few years earlier, we wouldn't have been starving."
"Yeah, mom, don't think about the past. I think we won't be hungry anymore in the future."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
As Feng was speaking, Zhou Mingqin and her two sisters came out of the house carrying a basin filled with bottles and jars.
After working for a whole morning, I finally finished packing the mugwort paste.
I counted and found that there were more than 800 bottles this time, which is a good amount.
Zhou Mingqi, on the other hand, looked regretful and said, "If the weather hadn't been so hot and damaged so many leaves, we would have been able to fill a thousand bottles."
"It's okay, these are just small things, they won't be a big deal." Zhou Mingshu washed the things in the basin and comforted his second sister beside him.
"Grandma, the fish in the bucket are turning over, come and take a look." Zhou Mingqi shouted after taking a look into the bucket.
When she shouted, people in the yard stopped what they were doing and ran over to see.
It is true that the big fish turned upside down, but it is also true that it is not dead.
"It's okay, it's still blowing bubbles from its mouth." Old Mrs. Zhou pinched the fish's back and straightened its body, as if the fish would not die this way.
The fish flicked its tail twice and flipped over sideways. Mrs. Zhou was not discouraged and flipped over again. The fish was also very persistent and flipped over again.
If such a big fish dies at night, it will stink before the next morning. Old Mrs. Zhou will never allow this to happen!
"Let's leave it like this for now and see if he can hold out until night. If not, we'll kill him."
After she said this, the children in the family prayed silently in their hearts that the fish would turn over quickly so that they could enter their stomachs.
In addition to a dish of cold purslane at noon, there were four hot dishes, namely fried loofah with lard, baked pumpkin pancakes, scrambled eggs with mint, stir-fried beans and a pot of mung bean soup.
"Grandma, do we still have green beans at home?"
"Yes, but not much. I sprouted some mung bean sprouts last time, and I made mung bean soup today, so there's a little left."
"Yeah, grandma, I'll use it. I plan to make something to eat."
"Okay, it's in the bag on the cabinet. Just don't waste it. You can do whatever you want with it."
After Zhou Mingshu was full, he went to get some mung beans. After pouring out all the mung beans in the bag, there was only about half a bowl. This was too little.
She bought some through the system and added it in. It was almost enough for a bowl, so a dish should be made.
Wash the mung beans and soak them in clean water. Then cover the bowl with a basket and wait until the afternoon to work on it.
There are so many things she needs to do. She wanted to make the 'little fan' last night, but she hasn't done it yet.
She secretly made some paste and brought it into the house, then took out the medicine paper package she had prepared in advance and started to fold it. The color of the paper was the same as the medicine paper package used in Uncle Chen's Pharmacy, and one could not tell the difference unless one looked carefully.
She folded them into cone shapes one by one, then glued them together, and placed them upside down on the bed, waiting for them to dry.
"Sister, what are you?" Zhou Mingyuan came over to play after dinner and saw this horrifying scene.
He stretched out his little hand and touched the pointy object and found it quite prickly.
"Sister, you'd better not squat anymore..." Zhou Mingyuan swallowed his saliva. His sister was busy running back and forth, moving around on the bed. He was really afraid of pricking her butt.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Zhou Mingshu didn't know what his brother was talking about.
"Ahaha, it's nothing, sister, why did you make this?" Zhou Mingyuan took the wet rag on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling much cooler.
Just as he put it back, two things fell out of the rag.
"Hey? What is this? It's sprouting." Zhou Mingyuan was shocked when he saw the broken yellow bud in his hand. 'He broke my sister's things?!'
"That's what I planted..." Zhou Mingshu looked up and saw the sprouts and seeds had already separated.
"Zhou Mingyuan~"
Zhou Mingshu roared, and the house shook three times.
Zhou Mingyuan dropped the lotus seeds and ran away, fearing that he would be caught by his sister.
Zhou Mingshu picked up the seeds and took a look. She had managed to get the seeds to germinate with great difficulty. This naughty child didn't often come into her room, and whenever he did he would cause trouble.
Fortunately, the table didn't hit her. If she had overturned it, she would have been severely beaten.
The table was filled with porcelain bottles of mugwort paste, which had not yet solidified.
Fortunately, the other seed was intact. I don't know if this seed with a broken bud can survive! I have to try it out first.
Zhou Mingshu put the seeds in a flowerpot, tried to grow them first, and then continued with the things at hand. She didn't have the leisure to beat the child.
"Hurry up and take a shower and go back to take a nap. Don't go into your sister's room and cause trouble for her. There are precious things everywhere in that room."
The voice of educating Zhou Mingyuan was heard in the yard. Zhou Mingshu pursed his lips and smiled. The good boy couldn't escape the scolding after all.
"Saya, what are you doing?" Zhou Mingqi came in and saw that the bed was almost piled up like a small mountain.
"It's good stuff."
"Of course I know this is a good thing. It's paper. You can fold it just by saying so. Can't you use it to write?" Zhou Mingqi looked at the bundle of paper that was all used to fold toys, and his mouth opened wide in disbelief.
"Come and help me fold it. You'll see how useful it is in a moment."
Zhou Mingshu pulled Zhou Mingqi over, and Zhou Mingqi was forced to join the origami project.
After estimating that the number was about the same, Zhou Mingshu put away the remaining paper.
"Okay, no need to fold it, these are almost enough, the next step is to remove the window paper!"
