The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

“It doesn’t matter if you feel okay.

Listen to me, I've been through this before, so listen to me.

Women must not be careless about their postpartum recovery.

A friend of mine spent too much time squatting after giving birth.

I have another friend who started exercising to lose weight after giving birth.

Then they all developed uterine prolapse.

The thing that wrapped the child came out.

How terrible it is."

Chunniang was shocked by Zhou Yue's words.

What is mother talking about? When did she have so many friends?

What did she mean by prolapse?

Zhou Yue continued to nag:

“Also, it’s winter now, and if you touch cold water, the cold and dampness will penetrate deep into your bones.

The kidneys control bones and produce marrow, and the marrow is the sea of ​​the brain.

On the surface, your hand is injured, but in fact, your bone marrow is the most injured.

Then the bone marrow is damaged, which in turn damages your kidneys. And then it damages your brain.”

Chunniang was completely defeated by Zhou Yue and couldn't understand a word he said.

Zhou Yue was also talking nonsense, but his words were so profound and abstruse that they always managed to scare this hardworking child.

Seeing Chunniang's confused face, Zhou Yue decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Your body is damaged, and I'm afraid it will harm your future offspring.

Either it will be difficult to have children in the future, or future children will have poor health.

Also, as you get older, these injuries will gradually become apparent.

You don't want to let Yuan Ge'er take care of you when you are old, because he will be old by then.

Or maybe you eat and drink on the kang all day, and pee on the kang, and you don’t want to burden your children with serving you all day, right? "

Chunniang was frightened when she thought of the scene of Old Man Ning collapsed on the kang a while ago.

No, no, she doesn't want to.

The thought of days like that is terrifying.

But, is cooking a meal really as scary as my mother said?

Zhou Yue saw that Chunniang was still hesitant and seemed not to believe it.

"Chun Niang, think about this, you can rest for more than a month now.

What can our family lose?

It's not a big loss, right? My mother and I cooked, and Qingmo did it.

We can do other jobs too.

All you have to do now is take good care of your children, let them sleep more, eat more, and rest more.

Take good care of your body and don’t see a doctor or take medicine just because you are not feeling well.

It’s just to save money for our family.”

Well, Chunniang was familiar with the matter of settling accounts, and she understood it completely.

What my mother said makes sense.

Chunniang quickly dried her hands, took off her apron, and returned to her room.

Lie down on the kang and take a nap, waiting for dinner.

After dinner, everyone rested and didn’t talk about it anymore.

The next day, at the village chief’s house.

Zhou Yue and Mr. Ning came to the village chief's house together to discuss the land purchase.

The seller had already been waiting at the village chief's house.

It’s really early! The Ning family all feel that they got up early enough.

Now I think about it, maybe the other person didn’t have breakfast.

In winter, most farmers only have two meals a day.

Unlike the Ning family, they still have a lot of work to do at this season and have to eat three meals a day.

The village chief had communicated everything in advance and both parties had no objection to the price.

The contract was quickly drawn up, and then the village chief took the two families to the field to identify the location.

With the help of the other party, Zhou Yue saw the boundary marker of the land.

Then he took out a few thick wooden sticks with words written on them from his backpack and, with the help of the village chief and Old Man Ning, wedged them into the soil with a hammer.

Of course, the owner of newly purchased land must erect new boundary markers.

Zhou Yue wrote on the wood carefully, and the village chief praised her for her meticulousness.

Most of the quarrels among villagers are about land and houses.

The two families often fought to the death over a few feet of land.

After the job was done, the sellers left in a hurry, as they wanted to use the money for emergency needs.

Mr. Ning said to the village chief, "Seventh brother, come to my house for a drink.

Last time when my great-grandson had his full moon party, I was busy entertaining the relatives who came.

Neither of us had a good drink.

It just so happens that the old family has brewed some new wine. Would you like to try it?

If it tastes good, I'll give you a few more pounds to take back."

The village chief had received some homemade wine from Zhou Yue last time, and he found it quite delicious.

He has no other hobbies, and just likes to drink on weekdays.

But he is too frugal and usually doesn't spend money on drinking.

The main reason is that most of the income from the wine of the Dahui Dynasty was used to support the army, and the court sold it at too high a price.

The loose liquor sold on the streets was usually expensive and tasted bad due to licensing issues and heavy taxes collected by the court.

He doesn't spend much of his own money on drinking.

Now, when he heard that Zhou Yue from Ning Shisan's family had new wine, his appetite started to stir and he readily agreed.

Seeing the village chief coming, naturally we have to add more dishes.

The meals are usually pretty good, and when guests come, they will definitely be even more sumptuous.

Of course, the wild boar meat had been eaten long ago, and now they were eating the wild rabbits and pheasants that Ren Pingsheng and Jun Mo had hunted in the mountains.

Originally, Mr. Ning and Mrs. Qian wanted to sell all these wild animals.

But Zhou Yue felt that everyone had a lot of work to do and they had to eat better.

Especially since there are several growing children and pregnant women, they need more oil and water.

Therefore, there is always some meat hanging in the kitchen at home.

There is often pickled meat in several clay pots.

Sometimes when there is leftover fresh meat and Zhou Yue is not busy, he will use the saltpeter that Song Yuan brought last time to make ice.

Then put the fresh meat on ice to keep it fresh for a few days.

The village chief was in luck as he had some fresh meat on ice at home.

Zhou Yue started to get busy as soon as he got home.

The village chief is a good person and has been very helpful to our family.

Since he is a guest, we must treat him well.

She took out the rabbit meat and chopped it into pieces. Rabbit meat had no fat, only lean meat.

It is a good meat for weight loss, but there is a little-known fact.

If you only eat rabbit meat and nothing else, you will die.

This is because rabbit meat lacks fat and mineral nutrients.

Therefore, if you only eat rabbit meat, you will die of malnutrition with a full stomach.

Isn’t this knowledge cool enough?

Meat that lacks fat will have a tougher texture.

Of course, you need to add chili peppers and lots of seasonings and braise it.

Because pheasants grow up in the mountains, they can run and fly, and have a very strong body.

The taste is also rather dry and not as delicious as domestic chicken.

But the advantage is that it exercises a lot, and the meat is firm and chewy.

Therefore, pheasant meat is suitable for chicken stew with mushrooms.

I happened to have some mushrooms picked in summer and autumn at home, so I took out some, soaked them in warm water, and used them to stew pheasant later.

When taking mushrooms from the warehouse in the backyard, Zhou Yue discovered that he had too many things at home.

Half of the house was filled with medicinal herbs, some of which were collected by the family and some were purchased from the village, but they had not yet been sent to Zheng’s pharmacy in the county.

I guess this is the last batch of herbs, it’s going to snow soon.

After the snow, the weather turned cold and we couldn’t go to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs.

Zhou Yue sighed, as he would temporarily lose a source of income.

The other half of the room was filled with various dried vegetables, as well as some farm tools, and the tools of Yang Mo and Grandpa Ning.

The semi-finished and finished products of their products are also in this room.

Zhou Yue took a quick look and found a lot of good stuff.

Zhou Yue was thinking while cooking.

In fact, there is no rush to go to the county to do business, although the fish selling business is no longer available.

But you definitely can’t sit idle in the winter. You might as well set up a stall at the market and sell off the things in the warehouse.

It is better to be cautious when renting a shop in the county. It is better to ask Zheng’s Pharmacy to buy medicinal materials next time.

Qingmo and I went to the county again to take a look at the conditions and prices of those shops.
