Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

After crossing the bridge, Li Yunshan threw the meat into her basket.

She picked it up and weighed it. This piece of meat alone cost more than a hundred.

He asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that Brother Ding will beat you?"

Li Yunshan also laughed, "He won't be able to sell all of them and will let them go bad."

Mao Xiaosui was speechless, "Can't I just eat it myself?"

"He cheated me a lot in the past. I asked for fifty copper coins and he sold me two hundred and charged me dozens more."

"You won't hit him?"

"got used to."

"I think your relationship is quite interesting. Are you just giving birth to a pig?" She was really confused.

Li Yunshan glanced at her and said, "I lied to you."

"I guess you didn't tell the truth." She was not surprised, let alone angry.

"Didn't you ask before why my sister-in-law's surname is Ding?"

"Bought?" In fact, it's easy to guess. It's either a coincidence or they are siblings. In the end, there is only one possibility left, and that is that the bought one has the man's surname. This is not uncommon here.

"Yes, it's been four or five years."

"Four or five years?" She then thought of something and asked, "Isn't Pingshun the child of Brother Ding?"

"No, my sister-in-law's man is dead. She has a soft temper and was sold by her relatives."

"Brother Ding had a lame leg and was interrupted because he owed money to the gambling house. Later, his life was saved after the family sold the land."

"After years of struggling, Aunt Ding almost hung herself in front of her house with a rope. It was only after that that Brother Ding gave up gambling."

"I just quit, and the reputation will eventually spread. Even if some people want to sell their daughters, they are afraid that he will ask for money in the future, and they are unwilling to jump over the wall to kill someone."

"I sold grain that day, and when I was selling meat, I casually mentioned my sister-in-law to him. At that time, when the man saw that it was him, he didn't want to sell. In the end, we argued for a long time and spent three taels of silver more."

"Aunt Ding and Uncle Ding have always wanted Brother Ding to live a down-to-earth life, so they treat their sister-in-law as their own and treat Pingshun very well."

"So that's what happened, so they treat you well?"

"Yes, it has something to do with the many interactions I had later." Li Yunshan said, "I was thin and small at the time. After harvesting the grain in the fields, I was so greedy that I bought meat every now and then. I could eat all the grain for a year, and it was also the first time I had eaten all the grain. After two years of eating well and feeling better, I started to live frugally."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and asked him, "Why are you buying suet today? I haven't eaten the last time."

"His business is not good today, so I will buy some when I come across it. I just go back to make soap... Even if it is not easy to eat, it will be fine. Add more to the cooking, it will be fragrant..."

"..."

Facts have proved that no matter how frugal Li Yunshan was in the past, it would be difficult to live the same life again if he was used to eating well.

I couldn’t help but feel distressed and sigh, “Two hundred copper coins were wasted again today.”

"No." Li Yunshan patted the money bag on his chest, "There are dozens left."

Mao Xiaosui was completely speechless.

It was past noon when she got home, the village was quiet, and she was very hungry. She washed her hands and went to cook.

Li Yunshan went to the backyard to throw grass to the chickens. The puppy looked at this and that, and finally followed Li Yunshan.

The short legs bumped as they ran, barking as they ran.

Mao Xiaosui listened and thought to himself that the little guy was quite discerning and had begun to recognize his master so quickly.

Stew the millet, cut half a plate of fresh pork into thin slices, wash half a pot of mushrooms, heat oil in a pot, put the cut meat in and stir-fry until the oil comes out, throw in a few peppercorns and continue frying until the color of the meat changes, then add the mushrooms Add in and stir-fry, and finally add a little salt and green onion to taste.

Li Yunshan came back with the eggs, and the puppy kept following him around.

Mao Xiaosui took the basin and walked to the backyard. The dog sniffed the smell of meat in the kitchen and did not move. He lay on the ground eagerly and did not go to the kitchen.

Take out the fried mushrooms and meat from the pot, wash the vegetables and pour them in to stir-fry.

Li Yunshan put the table in the yard and brought out the dishes. The dog immediately came to him and kept barking anxiously.

Mao Xiaosui loaded up the rice and brought it out, and said with a smile, "Today is a luxurious meal." Normally, he would not put in more cooking oil, let alone half a plate of meat.

Li Yunshan didn't say that she didn't know how to make a living, but just asked, "Will I still use mugwort leaves this time?"

"The floral scent is not strong enough, but it can be dried and ground into powder to add color."

There was still busy work in the afternoon. After dinner, the two of them blocked the door and went back to the house. They were afraid that the puppy would be too lonely, so Mao Xiaosui also took him into the house.

The puppy's belly was bulging, and he fell asleep on Li Yunshan's shoes.

Mao Xiaosui thought it was stupid, so he said, "Call it Heizi."

Li Yunshan didn't care. He just said, "My sister-in-law's dog is big. Heizi will be a big dog when he grows up. He can be taken to the mountains to catch rabbits."

"Will he get lost?"

"You need to teach him, as long as he can be obedient. Dogs are also good at catching fish. Take him with you when you go hunting for chicken grass, and let him find food for himself."

Of course, this is a story later. It is still too young and needs to be eaten at home for a while.

_

I was afraid of losing my sunspots when I went to the mountains in the afternoon, and I was afraid of leaving them at home.

Li Yunshan found a rope and tied it to the door of the side room. At first, Heizi just stared at him, but then when they were about to go out, he started to scream "woof, woof, woof, woof..." in a hurry.

When they went up the mountain, the others had already arrived, and everyone was chatting and laughing. Mao Xiaosui didn't follow him up the mountain, and went to find the mother-in-law in the village.

As soon as I got closer, I heard them talking about girls.

"Who?" she asked.

Mao Mingzhu turned her head and said, "I thought you weren't coming. How could I hear a dog barking at your house today..."

"Have you raised one? It's still a puppy."

"What are you doing raising that thing? It's a waste of food..."

Mao Xiaosui didn't say anything more about the dog, and just asked, "What did you just say?"

"You don't know?" Several people were a little surprised. "Wang Huacheng's matter has been settled. The girl from your uncle Qi's village, Shi Qi, originally made an appointment with her husband's family. However, the man went back on his word, so the girl's parents agreed to Wang Huacheng." After all, there is Li Xiaoru in front of us in this matter, so the money will naturally be expensive."

"What does this have to do with Li Xiaoru? Doesn't it cost ten taels of silver for her daughter to marry someone else?"

"That's what you say, but Wang Huacheng has designated a yellow-flowered girl. If someone marries a good girl, she will be squeezed out. Of course, the money will be more."

"You want a yellow girl?" She was a little surprised.

Speaking of this, other people also laughed maliciously.

Mao Xiaosui understood, smiled and went to dig for fungi.

The meat and suet at home had to be processed today. After digging for a while, she returned to the village first.

The sunspot was still barking in the yard, and Mao Xiaosui even suspected that it had not stopped this afternoon.

When she opened the door and entered the yard, Heizi's screams suddenly stopped. She walked over and let the dog go, dried the fungi and went to the kitchen.

Heizi was playing in circles in the yard. Mao Xiaosui was cutting a mugwort leaf when he looked up and saw that it was reaching for fish with its short legs.

The fish drying rack was specially made by Li Yunshan and was very stable. Heizi grabbed the pole and jumped up with his hind legs, but the legs were too short.

She didn't care. After picking and cutting the mugwort leaves, she started cutting the meat.

First, he put the meat in the pan and fried it. Before the smell came out, Heizi ran back to the kitchen door and squatted down. His greedy saliva dropped to the ground and made a piece of it wet. He didn't know if he had been taught this in the Ding family, but he was stunned. Take a step toward the kitchen.

After frying the meat in a pan, she threw a few pieces into the oil and fried them.

It was a coincidence that Li Yunshan came back, and the oil residue just came out of the pot.

Mao Xiaosui poured lard into the basin and invited him to come over for dinner.

Li Yunshan poured the fish in the bucket into the water tank and washed the handle in the water tank.

The fried residue is browned and tastes crispy.

Li Yunshan fed her a mouthful and asked her, "Are you going to town tomorrow?"

"Okay..." After that, she said quickly, "I didn't do any chicken weeding this afternoon."

"I'll be there later." Li Yunshan stretched out his foot to tease Heizi, who kept saying "嘤嘤嘤嘤...".

Mao Xiaosui saw that it was drooling all the time and was really pitiful, so he picked one as big as a fingernail for it.

Li Yunshan didn't say anything. After eating a few mouthfuls, he went out to hunt grass.

She put away the remaining oil residue, wiped the pot with mushrooms, and used the oil pan to make rice stewed with mushrooms.
