Chapter 34
Although I was a little impatient, I wanted to know how much money I could earn with the method I thought of yesterday.
But after thinking about it, Xiaomu will come over to transport jam tomorrow, and when he goes into town with him, he can save some legwork.
Furthermore, there are many important things at home, but there are a lot of miscellaneous small things. It is not appropriate to go to the town just for one thing.
Ji Anyi suppressed his eagerness to move, and continued to stay at home with his business.
After breakfast, I went to the village chief's house with the idiot, brought some jam and dried radish that I made yesterday, and came back after a short stay.
The washed clothes were hung behind the house, and the front and back of the house were cleaned with a large-tailed broom. The vegetable field was watered early in the morning, and young grass was cut for the ewes.
The two puppies are probably the reason why they drink the spirit spring water every day. Although the amount is not much, it is more magical and more spiritual. They like to follow him up and down. Suddenly, Ji Anyi Thinking of the idiot, he also liked to cling to himself for a while, but later, the situation improved somewhat.
Then, he found that he was a little more patient with the two puppies.
Even if the two of them circled around his feet, making it difficult for him to walk, he just pushed them away gently, without feeling agitated.
After finishing the housework, I looked at the amount of maltose, and I can make about two catties of apricots.
One catty of apricots can make more than one catty of jam, and the maltose Liu Ama gave him yesterday is barely enough for him to hand over ten catties of jam tomorrow.
Going to the cellar to pick up apricots, the two dogs followed me happily, wagging their little tails happily.
After entering the cellar, he sniffed here and there curiously, and turned his head from time to time to watch Ji Anyi pick up apricots, but he didn't step forward to make trouble, as if he knew the master was busy.
After picking up two catties of apricots, Ji Anyi left the cellar, and the two puppies naturally followed.
I washed the apricots in a bucket of well water, let them sit and drained, and then removed the cores.
Two jars contained two catties of apricot meat, which was more than enough, and the maltose was spread evenly, so the jars were put aside.
Thinking of the second elder brother He I met last night, I guess it's time to come.
Ji Anyi hurriedly went to the front of the house to look at the radishes in the vegetable field. There were only a few radishes planted here, and there were some in the valley. The radishes in front of the house were used for restaurants, so it shouldn't be a big problem. The radishes in the valley were used as dried radish.
After a rough thought, he knew how the second brother He would come over in a while, and how he would answer him.
There's nothing else going on at home, the pulp is still being pickled, so there's nothing to be busy about.
Ji Anyi took a branch, moved a stool and sat under the eaves, thinking about the calligraphy taught by Liu Damo yesterday, writing and scribbling on the ground a little clumsily.
The two puppies lay peacefully beside the stool, looking at Ji Anyi from time to time, pawing the ground with their tender paws.
"Brother Ji." Hearing the voice, Ji Anyi thought it was Brother He, but when he looked up, it was Zhong San, so he was glad that he didn't speak out in a hurry.
Putting down the branch in his hand, he quickly wiped his feet on the ground, and greeted him with a smile on his face. "Ah Zhong San?"
"Brother Ji, this is the chili sauce I chopped. I didn't chop too much, it's only about half a catty. Do you see how it looks?" After approaching, Ah Zhong opened the lid of the jar in a hurry.
Ji Anyi looked at it, and was a little surprised. The chopped ones were even finer than his chopped ones. It can be seen that he really put his heart into doing things seriously, and his affection for Zhong San in his heart increased several times. layer. "This is already very good, Zhong San is really neat in doing things."
"Haha, it's okay if I can do it, I know how to chop the chili sauce later." After finishing speaking, Zhong San didn't stay any longer. "Ji Geer is busy, and I am also busy at home. I will send the chili sauce over in the evening."
"Okay, okay, Zhong San, go slowly." Ji Anyi smiled and took two steps.
Just when he was about to turn around, he saw Brother He rushing over.
"Ji Geer, I'm busy." The second brother He greeted warmly and smiled cheerfully.
Ji Anyi poured him a glass of water, and moved a stool under the eaves. "It's not very busy, Second Brother He drinks water."
"Hey." Brother He took the cup, smiled and laughed, looked at Ji Anyi with bright eyes, and after a pause, he didn't hesitate, and asked directly. "What Ji Geer said last evening..."
Someone came to the house in the morning, he managed to get busy, and rushed over without even taking a breather.
"Give me twenty catties for the time being, and I'll come over and tell you when I need it again in a few days." Ji Anyi replied straightforwardly.
He Erge'er's eyes lit up quite a bit when he heard it, and he stood up after drinking the water in the glass. "Well, I'll go home and pick it for you. There are still guests at home, so what, Brother Ji, I'll go first."
"Okay. Brother He, walk slowly." Ji Anyi took two steps, and returned to the eaves, continuing to ponder over the words he learned yesterday.
Before sitting on the hot stool, I heard Wang Xiaoer's daughter-in-law shouting all the way.
Ouch, before anyone saw it, Ji Anyi already had a smile in his eyes, stood up, and took a few steps outside.
The two puppies, who were lazily lying on the ground just now, are now in good spirits. Trisso, who is small, runs towards Wang Xiaoer like an arrow off the string, with a mouth that smells of milk. The dog barked twice.
"Be careful, don't step on big yellow and little yellow." Ji Anyi reminded with a raised voice.
However, Wang Xiaoer ran over with one hand in each hand, under the bright sunlight, he was grinning foolishly, with sweat dripping down his forehead. "daughter in law."
"I'm coming back a bit late today." Ji Anyi went into the kitchen, poured him a glass of water, and fetched another basin of water, asking him to wash his face and hands first.
Wang Xiaoer smiled cheerfully, washed his face and hands, and drank water. He took his wife's hand and walked to the back of the house. He was very excited and played with him the tricks he had learned in the past two days. fist.
Not to mention, he's quite handsome, this kid, he doesn't have good bones, does he?
Ji Anyi was very embarrassed to think of Jin Yong's novels that he had read in modern times.
Well, he must be thinking too much.
"Daughter-in-law." After punching, Wang Xiaoer looked at Ji Anyi with bright eyes.
"That's great, our idiot is getting better and better." Ji Anyi rubbed his head and smiled happily.
The idiot of his family, the better he looks, the better.
This thought flashed through his mind, Ji Anyi thought of something again, took Wang Xiaoer's hand and walked under the eaves in front of the house, and when he passed the kitchen, he did not forget to pick up a twig.
Then, as a beginner, he had just learned two characters of dog lying, and began to teach him quite like a teacher, another illiterate who had not yet started.
You can imagine how funny this scene is.
But one of them was teaching hard, and the other was very serious about studying. The two puppies next to him were nestled on the ground, watching with relish, flicking their little tails.
The sun is gradually rising, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. Looking at the time, it is almost noon.
It's time to prepare lunch.
Only then did Ji Anyi stand up, and took Wang Xiaoer to wash his hands, one lit the fire and the other cooked rice and vegetables.
Not long after lunch, the second elder brother He came over, carrying a beetle on his back, with white and fat radishes in it, which had been washed very clean.
When he approached, he smelled the fragrance of vegetables left in the air and was stunned. "Ji Geer, have you two eaten?"
At this time, it was only half past noon, and the workers were about to go home, and my brother was just about to start working on lunch. He came to deliver the radishes, and he had to go home to work on lunch.
"Hey..." Ji Anyi smiled, his eyes fell on Brother He's back, and the smile on his face increased by two points. "Second brother He is really quick to do things, and this radish is really clean."
"That's right." Brother He happily acknowledged the compliment, and happily put down his back. "There are 22 catties of radishes here, they are big, and they are all picked from the ground. Don't worry, Brother Ji. I, Yuan Xiaochun, have always been reliable in my work."
Ji Anyi answered with a smile. "Looking at these radishes, my heart is always happy."
Afterwards, they chatted casually for a few more words, and the second brother He took the money, and left happily, saying that if he wanted radishes later, remember to come and tell him, and he would pick them, wash them, and send them over on the same day.
Ji Anyi naturally agreed happily.
He picked people to do these jobs. The matter of well water has many benefits. It allowed him to see clearly the temperament of most people in the village. Unexpected harvest, he did not expect at that time, it is quite convenient to do things now.
He vaguely felt that there would be more ways to earn money in the future, and he would definitely be too busy, so he had to ask his brother in the village to help him.
Because of the well water incident, he refreshed the villagers' impression of him with a new attitude, and gained relative respect and closeness.Now, he picks out some people with good temperaments, and further contacts, these are all help.Their interests are closely related to his interests. There are some people in the village who are not right-minded, even if they want to play tricks, he has nothing to worry about.
He felt that the road ahead was like the weather outside, so sunny.
Lunch was early, there was still some time before the nap, so Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer cut the radishes into strips and put them outside to dry.
After finishing this matter, it will be the end of noon.
The two went into the house hand in hand and got ready to take a nap.
After waking up, he turned over the radish strips and walked to the village chief's house.
After learning the word time, when it was not too late, I went home and started making jam. Just after two pots of jam were made, there was still a tantalizing smell in the kitchen. Grandma Zhong San came over with a big jar.
As soon as he entered the room, he froze for a moment, then said. "Ji Geer, is that what the fruit is? It's so fragrant."
"Hehe." Ji Anyi laughed, laughed twice, and poured water for Zhong San. "Ah Zhong San, sit down, this jam has just been made, and it will cool down later, you should try it too."
When Grandma Zhong San heard this, she hurriedly waved her hands. "No need, this thing is very expensive. You can eat it as soon as you say it, so it's better to keep it and sell it for money." After a pause, he said again. "Ji Geer, this is three catties of chili sauce, and I will deliver the remaining two catties tomorrow morning."
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, Mrs. Zhong San, don't be tired. It's hot today, and it's easy to get tired doing things, especially chopping chili sauce, which takes a lot of effort and energy." As he said, Ji Anyi counted the copper coins, Did you hand it to Ah Zhong San?
Ah Zhong San was very happy, took the money with a smile on his face, and continued the conversation. "I know it in my heart. When I'm tired, I just sit and rest. I've been busy in the fields all year round, but I'm not that delicate."
After sitting for a while, and talking about other gossips, Zhong San got up and went home.
Ji Anyi asked him to try the jam, but he waved his hand and refused.
He has heard that this jam is very expensive, like fine sugar, the price is about the same. If you say that you have to taste it, the mouth is worth a few copper coins. How can you just taste it.
Sure enough, he is a blessed person, blessed and protected. He is different from them. He has a brighter head. I don’t know how he came up with it. He eats the apricots at home every year. Knowing that I picked it up and sold it in the town.
This person is better than others, but I really can't compare, some things really can't be thought about, it's enough to follow along with the blessings, at least I can earn some money, and my life is better than in previous years.
