Chapter 77 The Benefits of Making Nests
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Song Wangshi smiled awkwardly,
"Sister Bai, don't pay attention to those people's gossip, just live your own life, as long as you think it makes sense. People in the village say that you have never farmed before and don't know anything. Even if you want to open up wasteland, you can't choose a slope, because it can't store water when it rains."
'Scholars have different ideas from them, how can they really do stupid things? But she is also curious. '
Listening to Song Wangshi's tone, Bai Yunxi sighed,
"The wasteland around us is either in the shade or on this slope, far from the water source, and we will be tired in the future. I want to relax, but there is no other way."
Song Wangshi thought of her family's situation and nodded in understanding. If there is a way, who would be willing to open up wasteland?
"Our lives as farmers are not easy. As long as we can fill our stomachs, we accept the hard work. You don't have to pay attention to those people in the village. As long as you are not afraid of retribution, let them say whatever they want."
"That's true, but sometimes I can't avoid getting angry. There's nothing I can do about it. Something happened to our family and we are now in a quagmire. How could those who don't like us miss this opportunity to trample on us?"
Bai Yunxi chuckled and accepted Song Wang's kindness.
After sending her to the gate, Bai Yunxi turned back and helped Du cook.
"Mom, when I bring the food back in the afternoon, I'll slice the cabbage and dry it in the sun, pickle it, and save it for winter as pickles.
"From now on, you will be in charge of the food and drink at home. You can decide how to arrange it. "Bai Yunxi looked at those vegetable lumps. To be honest, she didn't know how to make them.
"Hey~,"
Listening to the tone of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Du's eyes lit up.
'Did mother give her the power to manage the family?'
Listening to Mrs. Du's thoughts, Bai Yunxi pulled the corner of her mouth. She wanted to manage the family, and she had no objection. The key point was that there were only a few mouths waiting for food at home, and these thatched houses. What was there to manage?
After lunch, Bai Yunxi still took Yaya to take a nap, and went to the river to fish again after waking up.
This time, in addition to digging earthworms, she also grabbed a handful of mixed noodles from home, added a little shrimp powder and mixed it with water to make a ball to increase the fragrance and use it as bait.
Find the location, prepare the tools, sprinkle the prepared bait into the water to make a nest, hoping to attract fish, and then use earthworms as bait to hook the hook to try the effect.
After a while, circles of water ripples appeared on the water, and the fish were attracted by the bait.
As the chicken feather float sank suddenly, Bai Yunxi tried hard to With a lift, a carp weighing more than one jin came out of the water and was thrown on the grass.
Looking at the eight or nine-inch long carp, Bai Yunxi couldn't help laughing.
I heard that the fish in the town cost eight cents a jin, and she sold it in the village for six cents a jin, so she should be able to sell it.
In this way, there is no need to waste a laborer to go to the town to go to the market.
In the past, the villagers didn't eat fish because they didn't know how to clean it, and it didn't satisfy their hunger and wasted time. As long as she taught everyone how to clean fish, people would not resist it when they tasted the delicious taste of fish.
Put the carp in the bucket, hang earthworms on it, and throw it into the water. With the bubbling water, another fish was hooked. This one was bigger than the previous one. Bai Yunxi carried the bamboo pole and slid it around in the water before pulling it ashore.
A grass carp weighing about three jin.
Wow~, I didn't expect the effect of spreading the bait would be so good.
Bai Yunxi held back her laughter in her heart, and she seemed to see a string of copper coins flying in front of her eyes.
