The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

The braised chicken feet and pig's trotters made by Xia Mianwan were well-liked by everyone, which encouraged her. It would be fine if she put in a little more effort so that they could taste good.

Xia Mianwan fenced off a small plot of land in the backyard, built a rack, and covered it with layers of plastic film, preparing to plant some vegetables. The soil here is actually not suitable for growing rice. The most suitable crops are red dates, wheat and fruits. However, after fertilizing, vegetables should still be able to be grown.

This small piece of land is dormant late in summer mainly for growing potatoes. There are a lot of potatoes in the supermarket, and she plans to take some out for seeds. Potatoes can be eaten in many ways, and when she opens a shop, she can also increase the variety of food.

The Zheng family had never seen such a plastic film before, and they curiously asked Xia Mianwan what it was.

Xia Mianwan had to use Cui'er and the overseas businessmen as an excuse again.

Cui'er, who was far away in the capital, suddenly sneezed twice.

Not only outdoors, Xia Mianwan urged Zheng Xiaocheng to build a double-layer rack in a corner of the kitchen, spread soil on the lower layer, and plant some vegetables that can grow without sunlight, such as ginger, green onion, coriander, rapeseed, spinach, wood ear vegetable, leek, and asparagus.

I took some soybeans from the upper layer to grow bean sprouts.

"Sister-in-law, is this really possible?" Zheng Lingwan asked as she worked with Xia Mianwan.

Xia Mianwan wasn't too sure, but who cares, just give it a try.

Zhu was cooking on the side. Seeing the two working so enthusiastically, she wanted to join them, but it seemed that there was no place for her. Zhu looked at them with regret. Xia Mianwan was the most lively woman she had ever seen. She really liked her sister-in-law.

Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er had finished their exercise and ran in with their short legs.

"Mom, my sister and I have completed our mission. Can we drink the walnut juice now?"

A while ago, Xia Mianwan found a box of almond walnut juice in his space. Every two days, he would take some out and pour it into a pot for everyone to drink.

Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er liked the taste very much. They always begged Xia Mianwan to give them more. Even Zhu would look at Xia Mianwan with big eyes after drinking it, as if to say: Any more? I want more!

Xia Mianwan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Mother is still busy, you guys just be good first, and when mother is free later, she will make you milk tea."

"What is milk tea?" Chen Ge'er felt that his mother was the most powerful person in the world and that she always had lots of fresh food and toys.

Xia Mianwan waved her hands and said, "It's unspeakable. It's unspeakable."

Seeing this, Yu Jieer came over and held Chen Ge'er, "Chen Ge'er, let's go accompany our great-grandmother first. We'll come back after mother is done with her work."

Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er grew up together. Although Chen Ge'er was very naughty, he listened to Yu Jie'er very much. He nodded, and walked away obediently holding Yu Jie'er's hand.

"Sister-in-law, what is milk tea?" Zheng Lingwan asked curiously after the two children left.

"Milk tea is made from cow's milk. I don't know where Zhou Dayong got some milk for his little girl to drink. He was thoughtful and sent some to us as well, thinking that I have children at home." Xia Mianwan explained with a smile.

"It's really amazing that these two people would actually change for the better because of an abandoned little girl..." Zhu sighed.

Xia Mianwan scattered and buried all the seeds in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's why life is full of wonders..."

After finishing the things in his hands, Xia Mianwan brought over a can of tea and milk.

"Sister-in-law, please boil this milk." Xia Mianwan said as he handed a large ceramic jar of milk to Zhu.

Afterwards, Xia Mianwan started to fry tea leaves in a small pot beside the stove. When the tea aroma came out, she added two spoons of sugar and continued to stir-fry. When she finished this, Zhu's raw milk was also cooked.

Xia Mianwan poured all the cooked raw milk into a small pot, turned down the heat and started to make milk tea.

After a while, the aroma of milk and tea intertwined together, and Zheng Lingwan began to feel dizzy from the aroma. The once well-mannered young lady took two steps forward unconsciously and sniffed, "What a nice smell..."

After the milk tea was ready, Xia Mianwan found a large bag of pearl meatballs from the space, scooped them into small bowls one spoonful at a time, and then poured the milk tea into the small bowls respectively.

"Done, bring it out for everyone to try."

"it is good!"

……

Since the snowstorm, the situation in Liusha Village is still relatively good. Village chief Liu is indeed capable, and after making preparations in advance, no one in Liusha Village has starved to death or frozen to death.

It was different in the neighboring villages. News of death came every few days.

After hearing the news, the villagers of Liusha Village valued their lives even more. They swept the snow diligently every day and never slacked off in patrolling.

Although the Zhang family did not have much grain in stock, they still had some silver on hand. So, under the organization of Village Chief Liu, those who had silver at home could buy grain from those who had more grain in stock at home.

Therefore, the Zhang family bought 200 kilograms of coarse grains from the Liu family. Two women and two children could not eat too much, so if they ate sparingly, they could still get by.

Under the leadership of Village Chief Liu, the whole village has become united. Although there are some cunning and treacherous people, as well as people with various small ideas, fortunately, none of them have bad intentions.

Under the suppression of Village Chief Liu, nothing happened in the end. Everyone stayed indoors during the winter and finally managed to survive this snowstorm.
