Chapter 971 The Prosperity of Ancient Farmers 6

Liu Xia and Su Mei walked quickly back home.

As soon as they entered the house, the strong smell of meat in the yard made Liu Xia and Su Mei's stomachs growl.

Su Zhaodi just came out of the kitchen. When he saw Liu Xia and Su Mei, his eyes lit up and he called out to Liu Xia and Su Mei. Then he turned back excitedly and said to Xia Yichu who was still in the kitchen: "Second Sister, eldest sister and the others are back!"

"Well, let's all wash our hands and then eat." Xia Yichu responded and took out the already cooked chicken stewed with potatoes in the pot.

The pheasant was very big and there were a lot of potatoes. Xia Yichu cooked it in a big pot and put it in a bowl. Two big bowls were not enough.

Xia Yichu walked out with the tray and greeted Liu Xia and Su Mei in the yard: "Mom, eldest sister, please wash your hands quickly and you can eat."

"Here, where does this meat come from?" And there's so much of it!

Su Mei was shocked, staring at the meat on the tray, her eyes fixed on it.

"It's a pheasant. My second sister and my third sister and I brought it back when we went to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables today! Not only were there pheasants, we also picked up bird eggs and picked wild vegetables and came back!" said the man squatting by the well to wash his hands. Su Jiabao said proudly.

"Did you catch him?" Liu Xia looked at Xia Yichu, the oldest of the three children.

"Yeah." Xia Yichu nodded.

Liu Xia, who originally wanted to say something, was slightly speechless, but under Xia Yichu's calm gaze, she couldn't say anything.

Everyone washed their hands and sat at the dinner table.

The aroma of chicken and potatoes filled the whole room. After Xia Yichu filled a bowl for Su Zhenghe, everyone started to eat.

Su Jiabao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken and stuff it into his mouth. Fortunately, Xia Yichu had cooked it for a while, so the chicken and potatoes were not very hot.

Su Jiabao gulped down one piece and then couldn't wait to pick up the second piece.

"Slow down, slow down, no one will compete with you." Liu Xia, who was sitting next to Su Jiabao, said, stretched out her chopsticks and picked out some meaty chicken nuggets and gave them to him.

"Well, mother, you can eat it yourself." Su Jiabao took his bowl and stopped Liu Xia from picking up food for him.

Su Jiabao looked at Xia Yichu with bright eyes and said, "Second sister, your cooking is delicious!"

"Well, you eat more, and I will cook it for you every day from now on! Follow your second sister to have meat to eat!" Xia Yichu said to him.

When Xia Yichu spoke, everyone laughed.

"Okay, okay!" Su Jiabao responded cheerfully.

Liu Xia didn't believe it was so delicious at first. She just took a bite with the idea that even if the cooking was smashed, she wouldn't say anything. But when she actually took it into her mouth, Liu Xia knew what Su Jiabao said was delicious. mean.

Even she can't make this dish herself!

"A Tao, where did you learn this craft?" Liu Xia was shocked and asked everyone's thoughts.

Even though they had always wanted a son, Liu Xia and Su Zhenghe were very kind to Su Mei, Su Tao, and Su Zhaodi, both before Su Jiabao was born and after he was born.

The reason why they always want a boy is because of the deep-rooted concept of "carrying on the family line".

Therefore, no matter how busy the family is, Liu Xia is basically doing the housework by herself, with Su Mei occasionally helping out.

As for Su Tao, Liu Xia didn't let her do any housework before.

Unexpectedly, the first time she cooked, it tasted so delicious?

"I just cooked it casually. I have already learned it from watching you and elder sister cooking before." Xia Yichu said calmly, then pretended to smile shyly: "I didn't know it would be so delicious. "

"Hahahaha, it seems that Erya must have a very high talent in cooking!" Su Zhenghe said while sitting on the bed. This was the first time everyone saw him smile after being carried back for so many days.

Two large bowls of chicken and potato stew were eaten completely by everyone.

After eating, Su Jiabao and Su Zhaodi touched their bellies with happy faces. They couldn't believe how wonderful and comfortable they felt after eating.

Xia Yichu originally wanted to wash the dishes, but Liu Xia stopped her and didn't let her go.

After everyone took a shower with hot water in the kitchen, they began to prepare for bed.

At this time, Xia Yichu saw Liu Xia and Su Mei sitting at the table and starting to sew embroidered handkerchiefs.

Xia Yichu couldn't help with this matter.

She deliberately asked Liu Xia and Su Mei to go to bed early, but fortunately, the embroidered handkerchiefs Liu Xia brought back last time were almost all embroidered. She would have to go to town to deliver the goods tomorrow before getting the new embroidered handkerchiefs. Come back and embroider.

Everyone turned off the lights early and went to bed.

The next day, Liu Xia cooked bird's egg and wild vegetable soup. After everyone ate some briefly, Liu Xia continued to go out to help others harvest rice, while Su Mei went to town to finish the embroidery work she and Liu Xia had embroidered during this period. I took the handkerchiefs to be delivered and picked up some new embroidered handkerchiefs to come back to embroider.

When Xia Yichu heard that Su Mei was going to town, she immediately begged Su Mei to take her with her.

"Your eldest sister is just going to deliver goods, why are you following her? It's too far to walk here. Didn't Jiabao and Zhaodi ask you to take them to the back mountain today?" Liu Xia casually said after hearing Xia Yichu's words Said.

"I will take them to the back mountain this afternoon and follow the eldest sister to the town in the morning. I want to go to the pharmacy to sell herbal medicine." Xia Yichu responded.

"Pfft, where did you get the herbs to sell?" Su Mei next to her smiled.

"Here, I pulled it out from the back mountain yesterday." Xia Yichu had been holding a basket in her hand. She took off the cloth covering the basket, revealing several plants lying quietly in the basket.

Su Mei took a look at the plants in Xia Yichu's basket. They were all new to her. Although they were green and lush, they were not the herbs she often saw on the back mountain.

If someone in the family has a cold or diarrhea, Su Mei usually goes to the back mountain to pull herbs and comes back to boil water for everyone.

So looking at the plants in the basket that she didn't recognize, Su Mei didn't believe that Xia Yichu knew any herbs at all. She just thought that she was just whimsical: "Forget it, mother, since the second sister wants to go, I will take her with her." Let her go. But, second sister, don’t take these to the drug store, they won’t accept them. If you want to sell herbal medicine, you can take Jiabao and Zhaodi to the back mountain in the afternoon to get some goosegrass and plantain. Woolen cloth."

Goosegrass and plantain are common herbs that can be found everywhere on the back hill, but they are also very cheap. How could it be compared to the few herbs Xia Yichu exchanged from space?

Xia Yichu looked at Su Mei, blinked and said nothing.

Anyway, when she makes enough money from the sale, everyone will know.
