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

Widow Qian never seemed to be idle for a moment. When she came in carrying rabbit skins, people were sewing clothes, and there were a lot of them in the basket. It looked like it was another job to make money.

Widow Qian stood up when she saw her.

Mao Xiaosui said, "I brought you the rabbit skin. You first get a basin of water and dig up some more plant ashes."

Widow Qian and her grown-up wife went to get ready.

Once the rabbit skin is soaked in, everything will be fine tonight.

Mao Xiaosui said, "Prepare the brush for cleaning the pot. You can just brush it. It will be better to soak it overnight. You can call those people over tomorrow and I will teach you how to brush it."

Widow Qian agreed, but hesitated to speak. Mao Xiaosui asked her, "What's wrong?"

"That's it..." Widow Qian looked very hard to speak, Mao Xiaosui frowned, "You tell me."

Widow Qian murmured, "I...can you pay forty coppers in advance?"

Mao Xiaosui frowned and asked for money without doing any work. How could there be such a reason in the world?

Widow Qian also knew that she didn't care, so she could only bite the bullet and said, "There are elderly people at home. We have to give two cents of silver every month, and we need it on the 20th. I really haven't saved enough this month..."

The more Widow Qian spoke, the softer her voice became.

Mao Xiaosui saw that she was indeed not like those who took advantage. It would be really difficult for a woman to take care of two children, so she agreed, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you..." Widow Qian was grateful.

Mao Xiaosui said nothing more and returned home.

Li Yunshan hadn't come back yet, so she boiled a pot of hot water so that Li Yunshan could scrub it when he came back, and then started to chop the rabbit meat.

After two cuts, I suddenly remembered that she had done a business with the tavern, but she had completely forgotten about it these days.

Brining is quite simple. If you want to bake it, you don't have a stove. There is no stove here. Even if there is a stove, it won't be easy to bake. You still need to build a special oven.

Make a fire underneath, make a bucket that is higher than the water tank, hang the rabbit up and use the remaining fire underneath to roast it little by little until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. You can also roast the rabbit.

But now she couldn't spare any time, so she could only delay for a few more days.

In the evening I made millet noodles, braised rabbit meat and stir-fried vegetables.

After eating, Li Yunshan went back to the house to sleep. Now that they all had desks, Li Ruyi and Li Ankang went back to their houses.

Mao Xiaosui recognized a lot of words today and stopped writing. He washed his feet and went to sleep.

_

When he woke up, it was broad daylight, and Li Yunshan was still asleep.

Mao Xiaosui guessed that he was tired, so he got out of bed quietly, cooked the porridge first, and while he was washing in the yard, Li Yunshan came out.

"Don't you want to sleep more?"

"I'm going to kill the rabbit." Li Yunshan yawned and opened his eyes a few times before going to the latrine to wash up.

After dinner, Li Yunshan left again. Li Ruyi and Li Ankang didn't know if they had discussed it, but they both refused to go to the shop.

Qin An has never asked them to check the things he taught, and he doesn't ask them other than that.

Mao Xiaosui didn't force it, but he still set a rule for them, "One day off every seven days."

The two children happily agreed and followed her to Qian's house.

The Qian family had already arrived, and Mao Xiaosui also saw Qinxiang and a few women in the alley who were more honest and had less trouble at home.

She just asked Widow Qian, "Is everyone here?"

"We're here," said Widow Qian.

Mao Xiaosui repeated the matter and started teaching after seeing that they all agreed.

Everyone is used to doing rough work, but Mao Xiaosui can do it after just one demonstration.

Mao Xiaosui showed them the cleaned rabbit skin, "At least to this extent, it must be clean without any damage."

"When will you be alive?" everyone asked.

"There are a few things I want to make clear first. Don't touch the water. Go to the river to wash. You will be given rabbit skins on the same day. Those who are washed on the same day will be handed in. Those who are too slow will be rejected. The money will be distributed on the spot."

She looked across the crowd and saw that there was no objection, so she said, "Wait at Widow Qian's house at this time and this time tomorrow morning. I will take you there."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. People in the alley knew that her family was in this business and even had a shop, so they had no objections. After whispering for a while, they all agreed.

Mao Xiaosui waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After everyone left, Mao Xiaosui handed the money to Widow Qian, "One yard, one yard, I will pay you your wages, and you will pay me back the money you borrowed from me."

"Also." Mao Xiaosui was also just in case, "You can't tell anyone about this matter."

Widow Qian agreed repeatedly.

When Li Yunshan came back in the evening, she told the story. Originally, Li Yunshan could just take him there. She was mainly afraid that some of the aunt's family members would misunderstand her, so she planned to follow. The men at Li Yunshan's side couldn't spare any time, and the rabbit skin matter couldn't be careless. She Must watch.

Thinking of the problem of feeding the two children, Mao Xiaosui dug a bowl of millet hesitantly and took a pot of vegetables to the old lady's house next door.

The old lady was sitting in the yard drinking a bowl of porridge. She was a little surprised when she saw her and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Mao Xiaosui said, "I've been busy these days, and I want to trouble you with something."

"You said."

"My child has no food for lunch, and I want you to help make a meal."

The old lady did not refuse. When Mao Xiaosui entered the kitchen carrying millet and vegetables, he saw a little clear soup and porridge left in the pot.

Even the bowls on the shelf have cracks, some are big and some are small, and they look like they have been there for many years.

When she got home, Li Yunshan asked in confusion, "Why did you put the child there? Why don't you just let Qin An take it or let Zhang Qing take it to eat in his restaurant?"

"The old lady asked me if I had any work for her that day. She may have heard me talking to Widow Qian about washing rabbit skins. I haven't seen anyone in her family after moving here for so long. I am a lonely old lady. ...I guess I felt a little soft-hearted when I heard her asking about life that day."

Mao Xiaosui sighed, "Let's try to see how she is as a person first. I dug a bowl of millet to see what she will feed the two children at noon tomorrow. If she is a good person, let her look after the children and help her a little. We will also If you help her casually, consider it a good deed."

"You can't give money away. It's easy to cause trouble. After all, it's just a meal. Qin An can't have anything happen to him in the shop."

Li Yunshan also agreed upon hearing this.

The next morning she told her two children what had happened during breakfast.

They were so close that the two children didn't even recognize the child, so they agreed after hearing this.

After washing the pots, when they went out to Widow Qian's house, they saw the group of people already waiting in the alley.

Mao Xiaosui waved to them, but Li Yunshan couldn't go with them, so he walked in front of them at a distance.

When we arrived at the river, close to the breeding farm, after waiting for a while Niu Si and Chen San arrived carrying rabbit skins on their backs.

They killed these in the past two days, and it is easy to brush them after they have been soaked in water.

Mao Xiaosui distributed twenty cards to each person. "I want to check after finishing the brushing. The money is now there."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became full of energy. Mao Xiaosui reminded him again and again, "Don't think about fooling around. Just leave after the first, second, and third time."

"Don't worry." The lively aunt patted her chest and assured her, which broke the serious atmosphere.

Mao Xiaosui didn't say anything more and went to brush next to him.

In the middle of the journey, Zhao Hui sent another basket down. Everyone looked at so many rabbit skins without any complaints, and some were just full of joy.

These people are used to doing work, and they work quickly. They were finished in a short time.

Mao Xiaosui asked them to put the painted rabbit skins behind him. He would check them one by one and then distribute new rabbit skins to them.

Initially, she was worried that someone might cheat, but after checking, she found that all the rabbit skins were clean. However, she was still strict. No matter how many times she washed them, she would still check each rabbit skin carefully.
