Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently
Chapter 61 Renovating the House
The dark sky gradually turned blue.
Various bird calls came from all directions.
Yan Xia's family had already gotten up and had breakfast.
"Mom is going to renovate the house. The main house will remain unchanged, and two side rooms will be built for your future children to live in. Then the yard will be built with blue bricks to a height of three meters. It's just that there are men coming and going in the house. It's inconvenient. When the time comes, Osmanthus, Wintersweet, Xiaohe and you three will go live with your mother in the shop. When the house is built, you will come back. Jinfu, Jinlu and you two will be responsible for looking after the house. Later, mother will go and say hello to you Aunt Zhao. "
This is what Yan Xia came up with last night. All the pickled rose sauce happened to be locked in her room.
The two sons can also watch.
"Okay, mother, I will listen to you."
Jin Fu doesn't care.
Whatever his mother asked him to do, he would do it obediently.
It doesn't matter whether you go to a shop to sell goods or look after a house.
After notifying her children, Yan Xia went to Zhao Xinrong's house.
Brother Qian is still responsible for renovating the house this time.
It was agreed that the construction would start in two days, and Yan Xia gave them 25 taels and left. Because all the materials this time were made of blue bricks, the cost was higher, and the backyard and front yard had to be expanded, and Yan Xia also wanted to use the front yard. Make a well.
Calculated together, it is more expensive than building a house before.
Soon it was time to start construction. Yan Xia left with her daughter and daughter-in-law after giving instructions to her sons early in the morning.
The utility room in the backyard of the shop has been cleared out.
Two beds were placed.
Then the two of them will sleep in one bed.
Barely squeezed in.
Brother Qian said it would be completed in 10 days.
"Xiaohemeiguihua, the three of you put all your clothes in the house and then go out to work. You are leaving late today. Don't let the guests wait too long."
After saying that, Yan Xia took the lead in making peach cakes.
The flower cake has been discontinued because the fresh roses are gone and the pickled roses are only available for three days.
If you open the jar ahead of time, it won't taste as good.
As for the small jars, she brought them all to the shop yesterday. She has been living in the shop during this period and is not afraid of being stolen. So she left the big jar and locked it in her room for her sons to watch.
There is a big difference in taste between pickled rose sauce and fresh roses. When you bite into it, the former is moist and sweet, while the latter tastes drier and fresher.
Both are delicious, but Yan Xia still thinks the rose sauce is slightly better.
In the morning, she was in charge of the front of the shop, while Guihua was in charge of the backyard and taught her sister-in-law and sister how to make peach cakes.
In the past two days, only peach cakes were sold, but the shop's business did not drop much.
Because the peach cake is so delicious, everyone from old to young enjoyed it.
There is almost nothing not to love.
Unless the person doesn't like sweets.
Moreover, the peach cake made by Yan Xia is not very greasy, and the sweetness is moderate.
Even if you don’t like sweets, you can have one now and then with a pot of bitter tea.
It's a perfect match.
This way of eating was taught by Yan Xia to the customers in the store.
Received unanimous praise.
Send off the last guest at noon.
Yan Xia went to the backyard and asked Guihua and the others to stop baking for the time being.
"You guys should take a break and drink some cold water. Mom is going to buy lunch. Let's eat steamed buns at noon. Don't do anything else. It happens to be too hot today. If we eat another bowl of hot wontons and hot noodles, we will get a heatstroke."
It's almost August now and the temperatures are the hottest of the year.
Even if I stand still at noon, I will be sweating profusely.
It would be great if there were cold noodles for sale.
It's noon to eat a bowl of cold noodles and cold skin. It's not that satisfying.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen anyone selling it.
Yan Xia sighed.
Leave the shop.
Go to the bridge, where there are many food vendors.
"Wontons, big and fragrant wontons. Would you like a bowl, sir?"
"Yangchun noodles, a bowl only costs 3 cents——"
"Baozi, freshly baked buns, vegetarian, meaty, candied and all--"
"Selling peaches, big peaches grown at home, sweet and crispy peaches, crispy and delicious when you bite them, one penny per pound -"
“…”
The vendors were selling hard.
It rang once for every person passing by, and Yan Xia naturally felt the enthusiasm.
Her steps stopped beside the peach seller.
I saw the aunt sitting on the stone steps, with two frames and a pole placed in front of her feet. The frames were filled with fist-sized peaches.
She poked it gently, and sure enough, it was hard, and it was really a crisp peach. It was round, white and red inside. Yan Xia preferred the texture of crisp peach to the heart-like peach.
She also bought some peaches two days ago. They were not too sweet and were a little sour. They were relatively cheap and full of water. There were 6 peaches in a pound. They were small and were gone in two bites.
Just quench your thirst.
I didn't taste anything at all.
"Madam, do you want to buy some peaches? My peaches are crisp and sweet. Come and try a piece. Don't worry, I've washed these peaches at home."
The aunt was very generous. She directly picked the largest peach, cut it into a quarter, and handed it to Yan Xia.
Yan Xia took it and took a bite.
It's really sweet, crispy and sweet, with juices bursting in your mouth.
The sweet aroma of peaches suddenly filled her mouth.
"It's delicious, ma'am. Your peaches are very sweet. Why are you selling them now and the basket is still full?"
The unpalatable peaches Yan Xia bought yesterday cost only one penny per catty, but the ones sold by the aunt were not expensive.
"Oh, I just came here. My family lives far away, and I don't want to ride in a bullock cart, so I asked my son to carry the peaches and bring them to me. No, my son went to find a day laborer, so I will sell the peaches here. , ma'am, how about this? My four peach trees are all full of fruit this year. These ones have just ripened. I fertilize them on weekdays, just like the crops in the field. People in the village also call me stupid and say that I am stupid. If you are sick, please fertilize a broken peach tree. My old lady is not stupid. Look, this year’s peaches are extra sweet and the fruits are big..."
This lady is a talkative person at first glance.
Yan Xia just asked a question, but she pulled Yan Xia and talked for seven or eight minutes.
She even told her which village she lived in, how many people there were, what her grandson's name was, and how old her daughter-in-law was, including when her sow was going to give birth.
Yan Xia was a little speechless.
If this aunt were left in the modern age, she would be deceived out of her pants.
The peaches in the basket are very big, about two per pound.
There are four of them, and the crisp peaches can be kept for a long time. She plans to buy ten kilograms and eat them slowly.
But just as Yan Xia was about to speak, an idea flashed through her mind.
During this time, she was thinking about how to add flavor to peach cakes. The book includes black tea peach cakes, chocolate peach cakes, matcha peach cakes, etc.
But these materials were difficult for her to get.
She looked at the peach at her feet.
How about making peach-flavored peach cakes.
Just as she was told, Yan Xia wrapped the two baskets of peaches for the aunt. The aunt was so happy that her hands were shaking when she weighed them.
Because my aunt's family was poor and couldn't afford a scale, she borrowed a scale from a bakery shop selling cakes nearby.
For this reason, the aunt gave the man two peaches.
Human society has been like this from ancient times to the present, no matter which world it is in.
