A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Chen Changsheng knew that this old lady Chen was thinking about herself.

She smiled and said, "I believe in Da Mao Niang. Besides, I won't do too much in the early stage. I'll do it in large quantities after the molds come out."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Chen couldn't say anything else. She could only say to Mrs. Liu, "Wipe your hands and go with your sister-in-law."

Ms. Liu said "Hey" and put down the rag in her hand excitedly, "Mom, I will continue to cook the food at home and won't delay my work."

Old Mrs. Chen added, "Carpentry requires cutting down trees. You two women don't have much strength. I will ask Youjin to go to the mountains to cut down trees later. You wait a moment."

The old lady got up and went into the house. After a while, she took out a big basket with great difficulty and said, "There is also a plane and a few handy tools in this basket. It is useless to leave them here, my old lady. You can take them."

Liu took a glance and saw that they were all used by carpenters.

"Mom, why are there still carpentry tools at home?" She had been married for so many years, but she had never noticed that there were still these things at home.

"These are things your father left behind when he was young."

Men always like to tinker with these handicrafts, but Mrs. Chen has been following the man for so many years, but she has never seen him come up with any tricks.

Old Mrs. Chen said, "I've given it all to you. If you can figure out how to arrange these things, you'd be great."

Ms. Liu looked at Mrs. Chen gratefully and muttered, "Mom, you, you are really..."

Old Mrs. Chen waved her hand and said, "Don't make those sour remarks. Take your things and leave quickly. Don't delay your sister-in-law's work. And you have to work hard and don't embarrass my old lady. You don't need to cook at noon today." No more running back and forth."

Mrs. Liu carried the tools and went out with Chen Changsheng.

There is still some unfinished wood in the Chen family yard, which is just enough for Mr. Liu to practice his skills.

Chen Changsheng did not tell Liu the specific steps of making mosquito coils. He only said that it was like kneading dough, and a mold was needed for the final step of shaping.

When she arrived at Chen's house, she went into the house and took out two woodworking albums, handed them to Liu and said, "I bought them at a bookstore in the city two days ago. See if you can use them."

Ms. Liu looked in disbelief. She opened her mouth hesitantly and said, "Sister-in-law, how much money does this cost? Is this really for me?"

I just said it two days ago, and I bought the album today. This sister-in-law is very efficient in doing things, but she heard that books are very expensive things, and she doesn't know how much the two books in front of her cost.

"One, two or six dollars." Chen Changsheng said calmly.

"Oh my God, how expensive it is!" Ms. Liu exclaimed.

She originally thought that breaking the law would cost several hundred pennies, but she didn't expect that it would cost almost two taels of silver. That was almost a year's income for the whole family.

Mrs. Liu was a little afraid to take the album and stammered, "Sister-in-law, this is too expensive. Why don't you ask the bookstore owner if you can refund it?"

She couldn't sleep well at night holding such an expensive thing. If her mother-in-law knew that she had received such expensive things, she might not know what to say to her.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "This album is indeed not cheap, but if you can use it, it is worth the money. I will not return the book. Please take it and take a closer look. I believe it will be useful to you." My carpentry skills help.”

Mrs. Liu took the book and opened it. It was mainly pictures, with a few words and logos occasionally written on the side. It wasn't too difficult.

She continued to look through and read, and all the memories of carpentry were brought back to her mind. The scene of watching her father do carpentry in the past seemed to be vivid in her mind.

Ms. Liu closed the album with a smile on her face, "This book is really good. I just saw a few pictures and I remembered them all. Moreover, this album explains things more clearly, and there are things I couldn't understand before." The drawings were also very clear, and I figured it out in no time.”

Chen Changsheng said, "The relationship is good. If you don't understand something, you can ask Brother Ma next door. He is also a carpenter."

Ms. Liu nodded and took the album into her arms carefully. Such a precious book could not be damaged.

The two of them then continued to talk about the mosquito coil mold. Chen Changsheng showed Liu the effect he wanted, and detailed the details of how to spread the mosquito coil.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu said sternly, "Sister-in-law, I probably know what's going on. I'll hurry up and get it out today."

If you make it earlier, your sister-in-law can start making mosquito coils earlier.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "You don't have to make it today. Don't be so anxious. I'll try making one first and see if it sells well in the city. If it sells well, I'll have to make a lot of it, but Some of you are busy."

She glanced at the time on her bracelet. It was not nine o'clock, so she was not in a hurry to make lunch.

"I'll go to the fields and take a look. You can cook here. I'll pick the wood there. If you're thirsty, there'll be water on the stove." Chen Changsheng seemed to remember something. She went into the house and came out with a bowl. , said, "Try this."

Mrs. Liu looked at the browned and shiny thing in the bowl. She didn't know what it was. She just thought it was a snack that Chen Changsheng bought from the city. She waved her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, let's leave these snacks for the children." ,I will not eat."

"I made this myself. There are many more at home. You can try it."

Mrs. Liu pinched one and put it in her mouth. She felt it was crispy and oily, "What is this? Why is it so crispy? You can teach me how to make it."

She pinched another one and threw it into her mouth. She tasted it again and found it delicious.

In the old house, we only have porridge on weekdays. In the past few days, the old lady has made some money by weaving rattan baskets. When life gets better, she only eats a dry meal occasionally. For snacks, my sister-in-law went there a few times and brought candied haws and some Eat.

"It's delicious." Chen Changsheng smiled mysteriously, "There's a lot of this stuff in the field, and it's easy to make."

"What is it?"

"Locusts, fried locusts."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her face turned slightly embarrassed and she said, "Sister-in-law, can locusts be eaten?"

Lord Locust God, can that be eaten?

There won't be any punishment for eating it.

"Why can't you eat it? I've made it several times for Dafu and the others, and everyone's mouths are full of oil. After eating it once, they still ask me to make it a second time or a third time."

Chen Changsheng continued with a smile, "I simply made more yesterday to give them as snacks to satisfy their cravings, but it just consumes a lot of fuel. If you don't like the waste of fuel, you can grill it and eat it directly. It's also very fragrant.

I guess there are a lot of locusts in your field. Let brothers Youjin and Yin catch them too. Once you've caught them, call me over and I'll teach you how to roast locusts. "

Although locusts sound scary, they are delicious to eat. They taste meaty and can provide protein.

"Put this bowl here. You can taste it while you work. I'll go to the fields and grab some more."

Chen Changsheng put down his bowl and went out.

Seeing Chen Changsheng's calm expression, Mrs. Liu looked at the bowl of fried locusts, which seemed to be a bit fragrant and crispy.
