Lazy people also have spring

Chapter 62 Refund

Wang Meng went to Wu's house alone, but when he came back, he brought back a three-year-old girl who was dressed in rags, had a yellow and emaciated face, and looked timid.

"Come back? This child...is from the Wu family?" An Yi asked Wang Meng for confirmation.Although it is a question, the answer is already an established fact in An Yi's heart.

However, with just such a plain question, the timid child who dared not see others and cowered and buried his head in Wang Meng's chest shivered in response to being frightened, like a child who has been living in fear for a long time and was beaten. The frightened little beast has suffered too much injury and fear, except for trembling, it has long forgotten how to resist and how to defend itself.

"En." Wang Meng looked at the child in front of his chest worriedly, and didn't dare to say anything to irritate her, so he just handed the contract of sale in his hand to An Yi.

An Yi nodded her head clearly, and looked pitifully at the villain who wished to shrink herself into a ball and was completely integrated into Wang Meng's body. Knowing that she had resistance to herself, or any stranger, she didn't dare to hurry. After getting in touch with her, he put down some doubts in his heart, and said to Wang Meng with a smile, "Does this child have not eaten yet? I'll go and make her something soft, and I'll get you some by the way. You take her to take a bath first, change into clean and comfortable clothes, and then come out to eat...By the way, our family doesn't seem to have clothes for such a big child, right?"

"No." Wang Meng said.There are only two big men in their family. Where can I find clothes for the children, "But you should cook more when you cook. I just exercised and I feel hungry again."

"Hehe...Okay, I see, I can still keep you hungry. Is the noodles okay? I think this child has been hungry for a long time, and she also lacks a lot of nutrients. I dare not give her hard food, so let's go first Get her a custard."

"Just look at it." Wang Meng smiled happily, with a very gentle expression, "But the noodles are fine, I suddenly want to eat your special little chaos."

Small ravioli.This person really knows how to pick.

Thinking so, An Yi still nodded with a smile, and sent him to take a bath.

Egg custard is easy to make. Take two eggs and break them, mix them with an appropriate amount of cold boiled water, then add some chopped shrimp and chicken that have been cooked in advance, stir well and put them in a steamer to steam for a few minutes, etc. The egg custard is formed, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, add a few drops of sesame oil and vinegar, and it's ready to serve.

But Little Chaos is not very easy to deal with.An Yi searched around the kitchen, only to find a small piece of raw beef less than two taels.This is what's left after eating hot pot last time.Just such a small amount of beef, even if you add two or three times as much green onion, the stuffing will be less. Even if the amount is enough, the chaos will not taste good. It has no meaty taste. Wang Meng, a carnivore, will eat it Not good.

However, compared to the scarcity of beef, the Wang family has a lot of green onions. When An Yi is free, he grows a lot of seasonings in flower pots in a large area of ​​the workshop. There are not many, and they are harvested when they are planted. It is enough for their own chewing in winter. Sometimes there are too many, which can also benefit Anjia.

These seasonings, which are not even considered dishes, are not rare for people on weekdays, but in this cold winter, when there is not even a green leaf around, it is very difficult to eat such fresh seasonings.

However, in the Daqing Dynasty, it was not Anyi's first to cultivate seasoning plants with green leaves in winter, or winter vegetables.As early as more than 200 years ago, in the entire Daqing Dynasty, some people had discovered this business opportunity. In the Zhuangzi where the hot springs were located, they used the residual heat of the land veins where the hot springs were located to cultivate vegetables in winter for their own consumption or as gifts. Relatives, friends and bosses.

It's just that no matter in the past or now, Zhuangzi with hot springs is not easy to buy.Not to mention the enjoyment brought by hot springs in the cold winter, after someone discovered and publicized that long-term soaking in hot springs can not only cure all diseases, but also beautify the skin and prolong life, the hot springs have been admired to a high level.

So much so that whether it is the princes and grandchildren, the relatives of the emperor, or those families with a long history and dignitaries, they all desire to have such a Zhuangzi.As a result, Wenquan Zhuangzi gradually became a symbol of identity and honor after its development.Even among the aristocrats, if a family is married with a daughter, there is a hot spring village in the dowry, which is a symbol of being very dignified, precious, and well-loved by her natal family.

For such an important hot spring village, all you can buy are wealthy and powerful families.Such a family, even if they know that Hot Spring Zhuangzi can produce winter vegetables, they can't lower their status to do a lot of cultivation and sell them to the public.Even selling to the same class is, in their view, a vulgar and dishonorable business.

Therefore, a student who was born in a poor family and has a lot of research on farming accidentally followed a classmate from a wealthy family into their hot spring village. After learning about winter vegetables, he suddenly wondered whether it is possible to use warm Indoor cultivation?

Unfortunately, although this method has been proven to be feasible, it is very difficult to promote it.Because, a house that can keep warm in winter requires at least an earth dragon and a fire wall, and although these two are not as rare as hot springs, they are also only affordable by wealthy families.

And even if it costs a lot of money to install the ground dragon and the fire wall, and the whole house is used to grow vegetables, the vegetables that do not grow naturally and do not receive enough light have a very limited output and can be supplied to a small range of customers. Yes, it fully pays off the large upfront investment.In comparison, the indoor vegetables are actually more worth the loss than the ones on the hot spring village.

From this, it can be imagined that even if everyone knows that vegetables can be grown in pots in a warm environment, people who can't even afford to install earth dragons and fire walls will not take this matter to heart at all.

But even with the earth dragon and the fire wall, An Yi only kept a few pots of seasoning in the house, and the vegetables were dried vegetables bought by Wang Meng before his marriage.Although their house is big and has a lot of things, the place that can be used for planting is very limited, otherwise they would not be comfortably placed in the workshop.

After the beef and scallion stuffing was adjusted, An Yi stopped tossing the meat stuffing. After all, it's night now, eating too much meat, poor digestion and accumulation of food will be bad.After all, their beef is hard to find. There is no shortage of chicken, mutton, pork, and all kinds of wild meat at home. They are either frozen in the yard, or made into sausages or bacon to promote preservation.

The common winter vegetables in the Daqing Dynasty were nothing more than cabbage and radish.Compared with the Wang family, Wang Meng got a lot of carrots.An Yi simply made a vegetarian dish with carrots and eggs and fungus.

When An Yi finished the meal, the two who were taking a bath were still in the water.The two of them sat around the same bathtub, one nervously touched the edge of the basin without letting go, and the other carefully helped her wash away the stubborn stains that had accumulated on her body for a long time. Although the bathroom was silent, it exuded a different kind of warmth.

Especially the child who was always in panic. Although her face was expressionless at this time, when she looked at Wang Meng, there was a light of peace of mind, as if that was her harbor and salvation...

Although he couldn't bear to disturb the warmth of this room, thinking that the little man had no clothes to change, An Yi still spoke to Wang Meng, left the house, and ran to An's house by himself.

An Yi had just seen the clothes that the child was wearing. Originally, he thought that if he could top it off, he would let her wear it first. After all, he doesn't know how to cut clothes himself, even if he cut his own clothes down, he couldn't do it good.And if he was looking for his mother, Mrs. Zhou, at night, he was afraid that his parents would worry.

Especially when he himself is still at a loss, how can he explain to relieve his family's worries?It's better to make do with one night today, wait for him to ask about Wang Meng's specific situation, and then take her to the town to buy some suitable cotton clothes tomorrow, and then go to An's house to inform her parents.

However, when he actually took the clothes in his hands, he realized that although the clothes on the child looked clean and tidy on the outside, they were actually not only covered with patches, but also had many oil stains that were difficult to clean.Forget it, the so-called cotton-padded jacket was made by her family, or her mother, from old clothes. Not only was the size too small, but there was not much cotton in it. It was just two layers of old cotton-padded clothes sewn together. At the same time, it is supported by several layers of airy fabric, which is extremely thin.

And that child, even through the foggy bathroom, An Yi still found out that she not only had chilblains on her hands and feet, her hair was as yellow as dried straw, her skin was sallow, her bones were as thin as a stick, and her body was also faintly purple from the cold.If the situation does not improve, this child may not survive this winter...

"Three or four-year-old children's cotton padded clothes? What do you want that thing for?" At first, when Zhou saw An Yi running back at night, she thought that something had been left here, but he didn't expect him to mention such a strange thing. requirements.children's clothes?She was still three or four years old, not to mention that An Yi couldn't get pregnant, even if she did, she would have to grow up.

"It's like this..." In order to prevent Zhou Shi from being too worried, An Yi directly told Zhou Shi what he knew.Sure enough, as he had expected, when he heard that Wang Meng had picked up a child from Boss Wu's Hudan, suspected to be Boss Wu's five-year-old daughter, Zhou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"What—?! Where did you get a child back from?... No, Ayi, how did you mess with that rascal?!"
