Chapter 67: Quail Eggs That Become Birds

How do you write the word Gu, Chef Zhang? Gu Chunzhu was speechless, this half illiterate felt really bad.

Gu characters are a bit difficult, I'll teach you! Chef Zhang picked up a twig and wrote it on the mud ground. Gu Chunzhu knew it at a glance, and wrote it on the paper.

After drying the signature ink, Gu Chunzhu handed over the document.

Chef Zhang was satisfied with the paperwork and went to the shopkeeper. After a while, he brought the boy with him. The boy had to dial the abacus twice. Thirty taels of silver and eighty pennies.

Okay. Gu Chunzhu took the money and put it in his arms carefully.

My mind was turning so fast that with the two taels of silver at home, it was about fifty taels and two taels in total.

Buying a home in town is not without expectations!

Chunzhu, you've collected the money, I have something else I want to tell you. Chef Zhang beat Gu Chunzhu after seeing the boy leave, If you sell this recipe to us, you can't sell it again. , otherwise you will be in prison.

I know Chef Zhang, how can I sell it to another family, and I will sell you this river shrimp and game! Gu Chunzhu said sweetly, and Chef Zhang went to work with satisfaction.

As before, Gu Chunzhu helped Sister Gui with her work.

Sister Gui was very embarrassed to ask her to help after getting twenty pennies. Gu Chunzhu explained that the ox-cart hadn't left yet, and she was idle when she was idle, so she helped her with the work.

On the side of lunch, Sister Gui gave Gu Chunzhu a bowl of white rice, saying that it was leftovers from the child in front of him. The child was clean and there must be no problem.

Gu Chunzhu didn't pay much attention to it, and gave half of it to Sister Gui, and the two of them had a full meal with rice and fermented bean curd.

When she was about to leave, Chef Zhang hurriedly ran out of the stove and said to her, Chunzhu, the customer who ate pickled cabbage last time came and had to order that dish. The shopkeeper promised to cook it in three days. You can bring your pickled sauerkraut in three days, and give it a high price.

Okay. Gu Chunzhu nodded, and she was happy to make some more money.

She carried a pole and walked out about 100 meters, and Sister Gui chased after her, panting heavily, and took out an oiled paper bag from her arms, I just delivered the vegetables, and you will leave when you come back, this is not a time to give. you.

Don't tell me, my sister-in-law will take it back and add vegetables to the house. Gu Chunzhu waved his hand and refused to accept it. This sister-in-law Gui detained all the good meat, but she was too embarrassed to take it.

You said that my twenty pennies won't be safe. Sister Gui made a face and deliberately pretended to be angry.

Gu Chunzhu picked up Sister Gui before leaving.

When she got to town, she went to rip cloth and buy cotton again. This time, it cost only a penny, and planned to let Luo Xinlan make three more belly warmers.

When she returned to the village, the sky was completely dark, and from a distance, she could see An An sitting on a wooden pier waiting.

Mother-- the small voice shouted from a distance.

Gu Chunzhu dragged his tired body, and when he heard the cry of the child, he also sped up and ran over. He put down the basket and pole and hugged An An in his arms, What do you have for lunch?

Da Zhuang Niang boiled sweet potatoes and made egg custard. The egg custard is fragrant. An Anba snorted.

There are no eggs at home. Could it be that Mrs. Fu brought them from home? Gu Chunzhu weighed An'an, and her body seemed to have grown a little meat. The family really wanted to buy some eggs for the children to eat.

Mother, do we eat pickled cabbage today? An An asked, pointing to Xiao Cheng who came out of the stove, Brother has already washed the rice.

Speaking of the pickled cabbage gangster, Gu Chunzhu rubbed An An's little face, clasped Xiaocheng's little head and walked into the kitchen, saying, If you don't eat pickled cabbage gangzi, then you can sell it for money, my mother will send the river prawns to the kind aunt. Give the mother meat again.

Gu Chunzhu took out the oil paper bag, and inside it were a few pieces of meat, winter bamboo shoots, one or two meatballs like fish balls, and two quail eggs.

An An pointed to the quail egg and said, Mother, is this a small egg?

No, it's a quail. It's like a pigeon's egg. It will turn into a bird when it hatches. Gu Chunzhu explained.

An'an's mouth was shriveled. I heard that it was going to become a bird, but it would be sad to eat it.

Seeing that the tears were about to fall, Xiaocheng pulled the corner of La An'an's clothes and said, It hasn't turned into a bird yet, like an egg, it hasn't turned into a chicken yet, and besides, the bird will steal millet, yes. bad.

An An's tear fell, and she stopped crying when she heard Xiaocheng's words.

Okay, don't cry, quail eggs are delicious. It was really cute. Gu Chunzhu kissed her on the small face, went to cook the rice, and steamed the contents of the oil-paper bag.

Light a fire in the stove, and set two firewoods to leave a gap before the fire burns fiercely.

Gu Chunzhu sat in front of the stove and waved to Xiao Cheng, Did you accidentally get a wound today?

No. Xiaocheng shook his head, knowing that Gu Chunzhu still had to see for himself, he walked over and rolled up the trousers for her to see. The wound was scabbed and there was no bleeding.

Okay, be careful when you walk. Gu Chunzhu put down Xiaocheng's trousers.

Chunzhu! Sister Fu's voice rang from outside the courtyard gate.

Here! Gu Chunzhu responded loudly.

Sister Fu came in and saw the mother and son in front of the stove, and said with a smile: I just came back and haven't eaten yet? I'm here to tell you good news. Tori is looking at Xinlan's house.

Look, it's sold, for three taels of silver, and her house in the town is rented.

It's good, so you don't have to worry about the child being sold. Gu Chunzhu's eyebrows also stretched out happily.

Isn't that right? If we find Xinlan to make clothes in the future, we don't have to sneak around. She used to be afraid that her mother-in-law would not pick up the job because she knew about it. Sister-in-law Fu was also happy for her.

It's just right. I also bought a cloth and wanted to find her to make a warm belly towel. I'll have to ask my sister-in-law to lead the way.

Of course, her mother-in-law knows that their mother and daughter sold the house and moved away, so she can't make a fuss. Fortunately, you came to tell me that day, and I scolded her all the time to scolded her sober.

Gu Chunzhu remembered Mrs. Wei's bizarre appearance, which was more terrifying than Mrs. Su and Mrs. Hao.

She took out the cloth she bought in the town and showed it to Sister-in-law Fu. The two chatted, and Sister-in-law Fu didn't leave until the rice in the kitchen smelled fragrant.

Since sister-in-law is here, I will pay you the money from last night. Gu Chunzhu took out the copper plate and thought about adding the money for the eggs that Sister-in-law gave to the children, The eggs that Sister-in-law gave to the children. Count your two cents.

How can it be so expensive, at most a penny, it is my body to supplement the children. Sister Fu raised chickens at home, most of them kept for herself, and sent them to Sancunkou to sell.

The town is 12 cents a pound, and there are about six eggs. Gu Chunzhu frowned.

Sancun's eloquence is only ten cents a pound, and it is about six eggs. Sometimes there are few people there and they can't sell it. The chickens are raised for their own children. The family is strong enough to eat it alone, and it will break if you can't eat it! Sister-in-law Fu said, shaking her eyebrows in distress.

Sister-in-law, why don't you... Gu Chunzhu thought of the same routine as selling river prawns.

Sister-in-law Fu also thought about it, and clapped her hands happily, Why don't I ask you to sell it at the price of Sancunkou, the extra money is yours, and you can solve my anxiety by selling eggs for me.

Okay! The two hit it off.
