Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

The snow fell quite thickly on the mountain, and as soon as Heizi entered the forest, he started peeing to enclose his territory.

Then he ran around in the forest like he was mad. Mao Xiaosui didn't care about it and was busy with his own work.

After she finished packing the sacks and the basket was full, she realized that Heizi had disappeared. She called out twice and got no response before returning home.

There were a lot of leaves at home, but she still made two trips. On the second trip, she saw Heizi running over from a distance. There was a lot of dirt on his head, and it looked like he had dug holes.

The cloudy sky was getting dark quickly, and by the time she finished her work, Li Yun and Li Yun hadn't come back yet.

She went to light the kang and feed the chickens and rabbits in the two courtyards.

When she came out of the backyard carrying the rooster, she saw Zhao Hui coming up the slope. She asked, "Where is Li Yunshan?"

"Going to Wang Jin's house."

Next, Mao Mingzhu asked, "Why did you go to Jin'er's house?"

Zhao Hui didn't reply, and Mao Xiaosui didn't pay attention. He called Ding Pingshun in the room and asked him to boil the water and take out the knife and bowl.

Ding Pingshun was holding the knife, Li Ruyi was holding the bowl, and Mao Xiaosui was stepping on the chicken's feet and plucking the feathers from the chicken's neck. Ding Pingshun threw the knife to the ground, lifted the chicken, raised his chin, and said, "Put the bowl down." "Then it was a clean cut.

Mao Xiaosui gave him a thumbs up, said "I want to pluck the chicken feathers" and ran away.

When she came out with the sack, Ding Pingshun was holding the bloody chicken head with one hand, and the hair on his belly had been plucked out.

Zhao Hui had already prepared a basin in the house, put the plucked chicken in it and poured boiling water into it to iron the feathers. Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Are you going to Liu's house during the Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Hui nodded sheepishly.

Mao Xiaosui: "It's time to go visit the house. Then bring some rabbit meat over and let them have a taste."

Zhao Hui was even more embarrassed, "I gave them a taste of the rabbit jerky you gave me before."

"Then you get two fresh ones this year and let them try them."

Zhao Hui responded with a smile.

Li Yunshan didn't come back until the chickens were cleaned up. Mao Xiaosui took the cabbage and mushrooms that would be used later, washed them, cut them and prepared them for later use.

I looked around the wall for a few times and then returned to the house after still seeing no one.

It wasn't until the oil lamp was lit in the room and the chicken soup in the pot could smell the distinct aroma that Li Yunshan came back with a chill all over his body.

Mao Xiaosui asked, "Why so late?"

Li Yunshan had a bad expression on his face. He put his hand on the clay tube to warm it, and then said, "Li Xiao has been messing around for a long time."

"Don't want to pay it back?" Zhao Hui also frowned.

"Cry poor and say I'll pay it back later." Li Yunshan frowned in disgust.

"What did Wang Jin say?"

"At first, he pulled me to chat for a while. After a few words, Yang Xiao started to talk about cutting firewood and this year's autumn harvest. He said that we were a family and that Wang Jin was also our cousin. , you should take care of them in everything..."

Li Yunshan took a deep breath and said, "I talked a lot, and I was bored to death."

"As soon as I opened my mouth, she would interrupt, and as soon as I mentioned food, she would complain that she didn't have enough to eat..."

Mao Xiaosui always felt like he was angry when he heard his tone. It looked like he was really angry. "Then when did Wang Jin say he would pay it back?"

"I said that I have finished paying this year's grain, and I will find a way to pay it all back when the time comes."

"What do you mean?" Mao Xiaosui wondered, "Are you angry?"

"Li Xiao asked us to find a way to make money for his family. I said no, so she said she wanted to help Wang Jin and asked us to pay. After I refused, Wang Jin was a little unhappy, but he didn't say much. He said that he would pay back all the food he owed after paying this year’s food.”

"There is such a good thing." Mao Xiaosui sneered, "Those who don't know think we owe them food."

Li Yunshan was quite angry at first, but after hearing Mao Xiaosui's words, he felt it was reasonable. Just bring back the food, and there would be no further dealings with him.

One chicken and two bowls of vegetables. At the end of the meal, the chicken soup and vegetables were gone, but there was still a lot of meat left.

The two men brought the pig's head over again and cleaned it up. Ding Ping'an immediately said, "I want to eat aspic."

Li Yunshan also said, "It tastes good with wine."

"Do you think this thing will be good at opening a tavern business?" Mao Xiaosui asked out of the blue.

Li Yunshan: “It’s definitely delicious, it just depends on the price.”

"I think it's good for Brother Ding to open a tavern in his house." Mao Xiaosui said, "Like pig ears, pig paws, aspic, fried rabbit meat, grilled rabbit meat... these are all excellent dishes to go with wine. Anyway, His family raises pigs and opens a tavern just for the sake of it.”

"His family only has a few pigs a year, which is not enough to open a tavern."

Mao Xiaosui sighed, "You are a bit stubborn. When we do rabbit skin business in the future, the remaining meat will definitely not be dried like now. Even if we open a tavern, we don't necessarily need our own pigs. We can sell a little of everything." The first place that needs money is the shop, and the other things are wine, melon seeds and peanuts, and the rest of the meat doesn’t cost money.”

After saying that, she laughed again, "Why are we arguing about this? Brother Ding and the others may not be willing to do it."

"I think this is a good business." Zhao Hui said, "The business of the pub in the town is also very good. If we put more effort into the food, it should be good."

"Are you interested?" Mao Xiaosui said with a smile, "If you are interested, I can help research the recipe." It was too complicated for her to figure out, but she was quite good at frying beans and making some dried meat.

Zhao Hui hurriedly shook his head, "I have no idea at the moment."

Mao Xiaosui: "You can have an idea, and I will pay you a salary after the business is on track."

"I'm not in a hurry." Zhao Hui laughed naively.

The oil lamp was not very bright, so they cut the pig's head in two, cut off the tongue, ears, and nose, washed them, and then they planned to sleep.

There was no stove in the other room, so the four men slept in the main room. Mao Xiaosui, Ding Ping'an and Li Ruyi slept in Zhao Hui's side room.

The mattress was okay, so she still used the quilt she used to cover herself with, thinking that she would have to find time to get another clay oven.

I fell asleep unconsciously.

Mao Xiaosui woke up when the courtyard door rang in the morning. The two children on the kang were still asleep, so she was lazy for a while before going out.

The stove in the main room has been lit, and water is boiling on the pot.

She brought the basin over and was about to wash up when she heard a slight movement inside, and soon Ding Pingshun came out.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Are you guys going to squeeze in?"

"It's not crowded." Ding Pingshun said, "It's quite spacious."

"That's good," Mao Xiaosui said, "The side room doesn't have a mud stove. If you take the time to let them make one, you won't have to squeeze in.

Ding Pingshun nodded, took a spoonful of plant ash and put it in his mouth to rinse, and wiped two handfuls of it with the water that Mao Xiaosui had washed with.

Mao Xiaosui first cooked the porridge, put the leftover chicken from last night on oil paper to heat, and finally dug out a pot of mushrooms and washed them and soaked them.

Boil the porridge and pour it into a basin, then stir-fry the vegetables. When the vegetables are cooked, pour the porridge into the frying pan.

Li Ankang had already gotten up. Mao Xiaosui went to the side room to call Li Ruyi and Li Ankang. When he opened the door, he heard the two of them talking quietly.

Mao Xiaosui urged and returned to the hall. After a while, the two of them came out with frizzy hair. After she had tidied up, Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui also came back.
