I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Sure enough, the fat aunt is obviously not stupid, she knows too well what the poor people need most?

"How about I return your polished rice with brown rice?"

"Twice the amount for one serving of polished rice..."

Seeing that Zhu Qiuqi was about to leave, the fat aunt hurriedly said, "Three times! Do you believe in three times?"

Seeing that the fat lady was really anxious, Zhu Qiuqi stopped again.

The fat aunt was relieved to see this, as long as Zhu Qiuqi can be moved, it proves that there is still something to talk about.

"Big sister, it's not a problem to give you three times as much brown rice, but I can't give it to you now, you have to go home with me."

Zhu Qiuqi looked at the clothes on the fat lady, then at the vegetable basket in her hand, and finally nodded.

Even if the fat aunt really has other thoughts, she is sure to escape.

Half a quarter of an hour ago, Zhu Qiuqi woke up the system just in case.

"Help me to see, is there any cheap self-defense weapon?"

The money in her hand is limited, if she can buy more food, she will naturally save money to buy food.

But now she is carrying the food alone, in order not to be robbed, she must find a weapon for self-defense.

Fortunately, the system is also powerful. Hearing that Zhu Qiuqi wanted to buy a weapon, she immediately displayed the weapon page.

"Look, host, this is the self-defense weapon selected according to your request."

Seeing the dagger that only cost a few pennies, Zhu Qiuqi bought one and put it in her backpack without hesitation.

Although the quality couldn't compare to those dozens of taels, it was enough for her to use it for self-defense in this day and age.

Hearing that the fat aunt asked her to go to their house to get food, although Zhu Qiuqi felt a little apprehensive, she was not timid enough to let go of such a good opportunity

Moreover, the polished rice comes from the system, so she does not lack polished rice.As long as she has money, she can buy as much polished rice as she wants from the system.

Compared with polished rice, she now lacks brown rice that can provide her with cover.

In this era, xx rice is an alternative, and eating brown rice will not attract everyone's attention. i

"Then I will trouble you to lead the way."

Hearing Zhu Qiuqi's tone, the fat lady knew that she agreed, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Oh, okay, big girl, come with me."

The aunt thought that her young master had something good to eat, so she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

Although she hadn't tasted the taste of the polished rice yet, she couldn't put it down because of the crystal clear rice grains.

Although she was given half of Zhu Qiuqi's share, the fat aunt was quite content.

After all, Zhu Qiuqi also said before that the polished rice is for the children at home.

It is reasonable for a mother to feel sorry for her child, and the fat lady also expressed her understanding.

Zhu Qiuqi followed the fat lady to a quiet and quaint house, and then stopped.

Zhu Qiuqi looked up and saw a carved plaque above the house, with two large characters 'Li's Mansion' written on it.

Zhu Qiuqi raised her eyebrows. She had seen such an antique courtyard a lot in scenic spots in her previous life, but this was the first time she had seen it.

Among other things, the hollowed-out carvings on the wall alone made Zhu Qiuqi feel more charming than the so-called combination of Chinese and Western styles in later generations.

The bluestone slabs under her feet immediately let Zhu Qiuqi stick back to the financial resources of the Li family.

Although she didn't know much about the wealthy families in this county, it would be a good thing to have a relationship with them.

"Ma'am, you...are you working in Li's residence?"

Only then did Zhu Qiuqi realize that the clothes on the fat lady were probably specially made by the Li family for the servants.And the styles are basically the same, it can be seen that the owner is a person who attaches great importance to rules.

The fat lady turned her head and saw the surprise in Zhu Qiuqi's eyes, but she didn't hide it anymore.

"The elder sister is right. I work in Li's mansion. I am the cook of Li's mansion. Thanks to my wife's attention, I can have a place to live in."

Looking at the look in the eyes of the fat aunt, Zhu Qiuqi could see the gratitude and loyalty of this person to the master.

"That's because you are capable, ma'am. If this person has no ability, even if he can get Madam's attention, he may not be able to gain a firm foothold in Li's residence."

Although the fat lady knew that Zhu Qiuqi's words were flattering her, she was indeed comfortable listening, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"Big sister's mouth is really good at coaxing people."

"Okay, come in quickly, if it's late, I'm afraid the young master won't be able to eat this delicious polished rice today."

Zhu Qiuqi heard the words and quickly followed in the fat lady's footsteps.

As soon as he entered the gate of Li's Mansion, there were a few people who looked like Xiaosi coming towards him.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiuqi unconsciously clenched the dagger in her sleeve.

She didn't know the details of the other party, but the sudden approach of several men made Zhu Qiuqi feel vigilant.

But when several Xiaosi walked in front of them and saw the fat lady, they suddenly became enthusiastic.

"Aunt Sun, are you back? I wonder what fresh food you have prepared for the young master today?"

"Oh, sometimes I really envy the young master. It's not that I envy the young master's family affairs, but I envy that he has someone like Aunt Sun to take care of him."

Aunt Sun obviously likes to hear people praise the young master, which makes her happier than praising herself.

Seeing the eyes of the two Xiaosi kept looking into the basket she was leading, she couldn't help glancing at the two of them.

"I know you are greedy, take it, don't wait here. Go to the kitchen to help, don't keep the young master waiting for dinner."

The two looked at the oil-paper package that Aunt Sun handed them, and their faces couldn't help showing joy.

These are the pastries from the famous pastry shop 'Yujinlou' in the county, and Aunt Sun is willing to give them these good things.

"Thank you, Aunt Sun, we will go to the back kitchen to help."

Seeing the two and a half children running so fast, Aunt Sun shook her head helplessly.

"They're all children who haven't grown up. A little food can make them happy for a long time."

Only then did Zhu Qiuqi understand that those boys were originally coming towards her.It was just seeing that the person carrying her was Aunt Sun, so she didn't ask any more questions.

From this, it can be seen that Aunt Sun's status in the minds of these people is quite high, otherwise, those Xiaosi would not have asked Auntie Sun a single word of the people brought back by Aunt Sun.

"That's why you treat them well, ma'am."

What Zhu Qiuqi said is correct, half-grown kids are actually the most difficult to discipline.

Can make those boys so obedient, it shows that those people have admiration for Aunt Sun from the bottom of their hearts.

Aunt Sun smiled and said, "I just couldn't bear to see them being sold into slavery since they were young."

Zhu Qiuqi and Aunt Sun arrived at the back kitchen, and before they even lifted their feet to enter, a fat doll in a fiery red jacket rushed out of the kitchen.
