The cannon fodder daughter was exiled, she has a system to earn gold

Chapter 202: The Death Knell of the Lunar New Year

With the addition of the Ma family of three, Qin Zhongyue no longer had to help with housework, but she had to do more of her own work before the New Year, otherwise she would not be able to rest during the New Year.

In the evening, when Qin Sanshou came back and finished his meal, Qin Renshan called him.

"Old Three, you go sleep next door and look after the house."

Qin Renshan felt that all the things in his son-in-law's house were good things, and he was alone without them. If someone broke into the house in the middle of the night and stole one or two things, he would be heartbroken.

If it wasn't inappropriate for him, a father-in-law, to watch the door for his son-in-law, he would have wanted to go and watch it himself.

Qin Sanshou had no choice but to obey his father's orders, so he took his bedding and went over.

Also going there were the Ma couple.

The Qin family’s house was indeed not big enough for them to live in, so Ma Cheng moved in to live with Wuyou.

Qin Zhongyue let Ma Liang and his wife live in the west gatehouse, and Qin Sanshou lived in the east wing.

After everyone left, Qin Zhongyue looked at his father in confusion, "Why let Ma Liang and his wife go? Why did you ask my third brother to go?"

"Didn't those two just come today? They are outsiders, so how can you be sure they won't have any bad intentions?

Don’t worry about it, that’s it.”

Qin Zhongyue didn't expect his father to be so cautious. He probably had some trauma from what happened last night. So he just let him be, otherwise he might not be able to sleep well.

In the next few days, the Qin family was busy all the time. Wuyou and Ma Liang's family of three were responsible for dyeing the oilcloth. They could produce eight large pieces a day. After two more days of work, they would have enough to meet Hou Dansheng's needs.

The Qin family members were busy working in the vegetable garden.

Qin Zhongyue made a suggestion, and Qin Dafu thought of the scene where there were vegetables to eat and sell every day, and they had to be sliced ​​continuously, so he could grow one kind a day and divide it into fifteen small pieces. If he continued in this way, he would have chicken feather vegetables every day.

As for the fact that the daily supply becomes less because the land is divided into so many pieces, so be it.

This can better show how hard it is to get chicken feather vegetables.

The family has had some free time these days, and they have been digging the ground and sowing seeds every day.

The ground has been dug up, and all that remains is to sow the seeds once a day.

After six busy days, New Year’s Eve finally arrived.

The New Year is approaching, and the village is filled with children’s laughter every day.

During the Chinese New Year, you can enjoy delicious food, such as meat and candy, which are things you can’t eat or afford at other times. Even the poorest families have to buy a pound of meat on Chinese New Year’s Day.

Even when Xiao Jingyi was away, the Qin family had never lacked game. Qin Dafu knew how to make simple traps, so they were able to hunt rabbits and pheasants. The Qin family was tired of eating rabbits and pheasants.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Qin Dafu went up the mountain to collect prey and brought back three wild rabbits and a little wild boar.

"Why are there wild boars again?"

Qin Renshan looked at the little wild boar weighing thirty or forty kilograms and felt a little worried.

Where there are small wild boars, there will be big wild boars. If they come down the mountain, the village’s vegetable fields will suffer.

Qin Zhongyue wanted to say that his father was worrying too much, and that Qin Zhongyue had deliberately put the little wild boar into the trap.

She really didn't want to eat hares and pheasants and wanted to change the taste. She didn't catch anything else, so she could put in some roe deer or something.

But this robe doesn't seem to be stupid, either. Since Xiao Jingyi left, she has never encountered a roe deer on her many trips up the mountain.

It may also be that the weather is getting colder and the roe deer are hiding.

But that wild boar was the one she encountered in the mountains.

Indeed, if she hadn't seen him, he might have really gone down the mountain in two days.

It's not that there's no food to be found on the mountain at this moment. Qin Zhongyue asked the system to survey the wild boar's track and found that it seemed to be being chased by something. It might have been chased from the other side of the mountain.

Big and small, a total of nine were caught in one nest, and a lot of points were earned.

"Sister, do you want some beef?"

Qin Sanshou came back in a carriage and started yelling before he even got off.

“Yes, yes, yes!

Third brother, please buy more. Buy as much as you can. Is there a limit on the weight that one person can buy?

If it's limited, everyone in our family will line up to buy some.

I like eating beef!

Beef can be used to make many delicious dishes. You must not miss it. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get on the carriage!"

Qin Zhongyue had already climbed onto the carriage as she spoke, "Wuyou, come and drive the carriage quickly."

The third brother came back from the town, so the beef must have been sold in the town.

I don’t know whose cow this is, or whether it belongs to the government.

In ancient times, no matter which dynasty, private slaughter and sale of oxen was not allowed, as it was illegal.

So if I come across an opportunity to buy beef legally, I would buy as much as I can.

"Okay girl."

Wuyou scooped a bucket of water, rinsed his hands, shook them twice, and hurried over.

Seeing that his sisters were so excited, Qin Sanshou didn't ask them to stay at home while he would go buy the things. Today was New Year's Eve and the town was very lively. It would be nice for the family to go for a walk in the town.

Seeing Qin Zhongyue's enthusiastic and anxious look, no one in the family said no and they all went.

"Mrs. Liu, you can also go to the town with us and buy something if you want to buy it. Let the father and son stay at home to look after the house."

Jiang called Liu Pozi because she was a woman and she must know more about the shortcomings of her own family than the two men.

Mrs. Liu did not lie. She washed her hands happily, tidied herself up roughly, and climbed into the carriage quickly.

"Thank you ma'am for your consideration!"

Even Su Luoqing, who was pregnant, got on the carriage.

When Qin Sanshou came back, he took the Hou family's carriage. Qin Dafu and Qin Renshan both got on those two carriages, and the woman sat in the Xiao family's carriage.

Su Luoqing was pregnant, so the Wuyou carriage drove steadily. After arriving in the town, Qin Zhongyue looked left and right at the stalls, but didn't see any selling beef, so she became anxious.

"Third brother, are you lying, or have you sold out the beef?"

“I’m not lying, it’s a whole cow that Brother Fusheng got, and it’s still with him.

He asked me to go home and ask first, knowing that we had a large family and would definitely buy some, and even if they were all sold out, he would leave some for us.

Don’t worry, it’s not that easy for others to buy it if they want to.”

"That's good."

Two carriages drove directly to the Hou family. Wuyou watched the carriages at the door while the Qin family went in to buy beef.

Wuyou, who was waiting, saw his master, first uncle, third uncle and others, working together to carry a large piece of beef ribs and a beef hind leg.

He quickly jumped out of the carriage to help.

"You guys go back first, mom and I will buy some more things."

"That's fine. We'll come pick you up after we bring the beef home."

The family split into two groups, one group stayed in the town to buy things, and the other group delivered the meat back home.

Qin Zhongyue, who had not originally planned to buy anything, ended up buying a lot of things while walking around without realizing it.

Even Mrs. Liu bought several things, big and small packages.

However, Qin Zhongyue was thinking about the beef and almost couldn't help but walk back home. Fortunately, the carriage came back to pick her up.

When Qin Zhongyue got home, she quickly cut three beef ribs and stewed them first.

He asked Qin Sixi to send five kilograms to his master Li's family.

Now that they had beef, the Qin family didn’t want to eat any other meat anymore. They had originally thought of bringing the Ma family and Wuyou along to celebrate the New Year together.

Wuyou and Ma Cheng were like brothers, and Mrs. Liu treated Wuyou well. In the evening, they simply gave them a wild rabbit, a pheasant and fish bought from the town, and let them use the Xiao family's kitchen to cook for themselves during the New Year.

The Qin family celebrated the New Year alone.

The main reason is that they don't want to eat wild rabbits and pheasants, and they are not picky about those things. So the main dish tonight is beef, which can be braised, stewed, braised, or served cold. The whole family is enjoying the meal.

Not long after I fell asleep in the early morning of New Year's Day, the death knell rang in the town. All the important points in Lingzhu were strictly guarded by soldiers, and anyone who wanted to cause trouble would be killed on the spot.
