reborn as a brother

After walking a certain distance, Ji Anyi slowed down, moved closer to Wang Baoer, with bright eyes, and whispered. "Brother, the quantity of dried radishes has also increased."

Upon hearing this, Wang Baoer paused. "Can you come here?"

"It's okay, the delivery will be in one month." After a pause, Ji Anyi said again. "I just thought about harvesting all the radishes in our village and putting them in the cellar. When the weather is fine and the sun is good, I will dry them into dried radishes. When Xiaomu comes over tomorrow morning, I will tell him to let He bought us two large vats in the town the day after tomorrow. After the radishes were dried, they were carefully sealed in the vats. In November, the sun is not enough and the rain is too much, so it is not easy to dry the radishes. In November, we will be busy building a house, and we have to prepare the goods in advance, and there will be many people, so it is not easy to be busy with these things."

"It's more than these things." After hearing this, Wang Baoer frowned slightly. "The rice in the field has to be harvested in October, and it's another busy farm. After harvesting the rice, we have to plant the wheat in a hurry. Our field will have to be busy for half a month at the earliest, that is. Not only the work in the field, but also the crops planted in the field. Most of them can be harvested at the end of September and early October. Usually, the rice is harvested first and then the crops are harvested. There is a lot of dry land at home, so I can be busy in the second half of the month That’s enough, I’m almost too busy with farming, and I’m building a new house in November, so I don’t have any free time at all.”

It was only now that he thought of these things, and he had never thought of them before.

"We have to prepare the goods for October, November, and even December in September. In January and February next year, it will not work. The fish sauce is okay, and the radishes are not easy to find. Spring There is enough rain, and it is not easy to dry the dried radishes. Our dried radishes cannot be too old in the sun, and they must be a little brittle. , Wang Baoer's thinking is more comprehensive.

"No matter how busy October is, you and Xiaoer can still take some time out to dry out the radishes you want in December. With the weather like this, you can collect the radishes and put them in the cellar first. That's okay. questionable."

When Ji Anyi listened, he had a solid idea in his heart. "Tomorrow, I will tell Xiaomu about this. We will stop making braised radish and garlic-spiced radish in the first half of the year."

The climate here allows two seasons of radishes to be grown. Summer radishes are planted in May and harvested in July, and autumn radishes are planted in mid-to-late July and harvested in mid-September.It's the beginning of September, and the radishes will be harvested in a few days.

The two were talking in a low voice, and they walked to the door of the house without paying attention.

Ji Anyi remembered another thing. "Brother, you have to be busy making soybean paste, so you don't have time to chop chili sauce and chili powder." Uncle Ji can't be allowed to intervene in this matter. When it's over, the money will definitely be in his hands, and he doesn't want to. "Brother, look, how about we ask Amo Liu for help?"

Now I don’t make jam anymore, I don’t need maltose, there are still fish in the fish sauce pond, but I have to go to say hello, don’t sell the fish in Ama Liu’s house cheaply, I will raise them first, and then I will be short of fish, he will go purchase.

"Okay. You go and talk to Liu Ah Mo. His family grows a lot of peppers, and there are radishes, so let's buy them first." Wang Baoer nodded without hesitation.

"Okay. Brother, you are busy. I'll go to Second Brother He's house, and then to Grandma Liu's house. By the way, there is also Grandma Zhong's house." At the door of the house, it was too late to take a breath, and Ji Anyi went out again Go, took two steps, and when I thought about it, I added a sentence back. "Brother, Xiaoer is back, just tell him I'll be back in a while."

When Wang Baoer heard this, the smile on his face was obviously a little more. "Xingle, I'll tell Xiao Er."

When I thought about it before, I didn’t realize it. After my brother said it just now, he realized that this time is really tight. This September and October will be very busy. For the new house in November, Fight!

Thinking back to December, when it snows and blows cold wind in winter, the two of them can sit leisurely in the warm and comfortable new house, roasting the fire and nibbling melon seeds, looking at the snow scene outside the house through the window, teasing Rhubarb and Xiao Huang, if you doze off again, life should not be too good.

correct.Not only do you have to be busy preparing the goods, but you also have to spare a little time to prepare all kinds of vegetables that you will eat in winter.

The time is really tight, I really wish I could have two hands, just like this, he doesn't think it's enough.

Muttering in his heart, Ji Anyi started to trot, and hurried to Brother He's house. He was drying the clothes. When he saw him coming, he knew that there was a business coming, and he immediately said with a smile on his face. "Ji Geer is here, come in and sit down, look at your sweaty face, what are you doing in such a hurry."

"It's not that I want to send money to Second Brother He in a hurry." After dealing with Second Brother He several times, Ji Anyi really likes his temperament and is willing to drag him.

Ouch, that sounds really nice.He Erge'er listened, the smile on his face became even more, and his eyes lit up by two points. "Ji Ge'er's words sound more and more pleasant." After a pause, he went straight to the point without being wordy. "How many radishes do I need this time? I just figured it out yesterday. There are only about [-] catties of radishes left at home. I want to harvest the radishes in the field in about ten days. The taste will be better when there is enough time." At this point, he smiled and answered the call again. "I purposely planted some autumn radishes, thinking that Ji Ge'er's business will definitely become more and more prosperous, so I will naturally need more radishes."

Since he took over the job of radishes, when he planted radishes in late July, he specially discussed with the head of the family, and there were two more plots of land than in previous years.Now it seems that they made the right bet at that time. Ji Geer's business is getting better and better. Seeing that he needs more radishes every time, he doesn't know how much he wants this time. His family's stock may not be enough. Ji Ge'er must go to another house to buy some, it's nothing, as long as the radishes are harvested later, Ji Ge'er still remembers to go to his house to collect radishes, he can count on this big money to have a good year, and the children in the family are all happy. It's been a year without new clothes, let alone the two of them.

"Twenty catties of radishes..." Ji Anyi frowned. "It's not enough. Brother He, when you turn around, you send the radishes to my house. After the autumn radishes are harvested, I will also take them all." He didn't want to tantalize anyone, so he gave a straight answer, so that Brother He could feel more at ease. .

"Success, success, success." After answering like this, the second brother He felt at ease, and his eyes lit up when he looked at Ji Anyi.

After sitting for a while, the whole person felt more comfortable, and the matter was settled, Ji Anyi stood up and said with a smile. "Second Brother He, I still have to go to Zhong San's house, so I'll leave first. By the way, the soybeans I mentioned last time, don't care if they are the soybeans at home, or they can be harvested in a few days You can send soybeans to my house."

"Okay. Brother Ji, go slowly." The second brother He sent Ji Anyi out of the house with a smile on his face, and watched him go away before closing his eyes.

In this heart, don't mention how happy I am, my whole body is completely relaxed, and my spirits are suddenly rejuvenated. Sure enough, people feel refreshed when they are happy.This year, I can have a good time. Discuss with the head of the family at night. The children love to eat bacon. This year, the money is not tight, so you can prepare more, and...

While thinking about the second brother He, he happily entered the room.

When he arrived at Ama Zhong San's house, he was sitting under the eaves, sewing a piece of clothing, which reminded Ji Anyi of a sentence, he forgot where he saw it.

New three years, old three years, sewing and mending for another three years.

Although it would not be so miserable, but it was not far away. As far as he could see on the clothes, there were already two flaws.In the whole Hexi Village, there are still people wearing mended clothes, which is really rare. Get rid of Uncle Ji, he is simply too stingy, and he is reluctant to spend money.

Aunt Zhong San sensed something, looked up, and not far away, Ji Geer was standing there, staring blankly at the clothes on his hand, a little distracted, he looked down at the clothes in his hand, but it was nothing Uncomfortable, but quite calmly smiled. "Ji Geer is here. Your Third Uncle Zhong went into the mountains to find firewood yesterday, and accidentally broke it. I saw that it would be fine, so I took it out and sewed it for him. You can also wear it while working."

Generally, this kind of work is rough and dirty work, and I really don't want to wear better clothes to work.At least what people think, that's their business, life is lived by oneself, and it's enough if you know it in your heart.

"It's true." Ji Anyi returned to his senses, answered with a smile, and asked. "Ah Zhong San, how many peppers do you have at home?"

Ah Zhong San thought about it. "It's about forty catties, and about ten catties must be saved to dry it into dried chili. My family likes spicy food, and it's not a problem without chili in winter."

"That's it, Zhong San, look at it, and chop the rest into chili sauce." After a pause, Ji Anyi said again. "Ah, Zhong San, you have radishes and soybeans, don't sell them in the town, I'm worried, if there are some at home, I want as much as I have, after a few days, the autumn radishes will be harvested, It's the same, as much as you want."

"Okay. There should be about [-] to [-] catties at home, all washed and delivered? Or..." The reason for asking this is because radishes are not easy to store when they are wet.

"You can wash them all and send them here. I'm drying the radishes." Mr. Zhong San weighed sixty to seventy catties, and Brother He's family had about twenty catties, and there was more than two hundred catties missing. I don't know Ah Liu. Is there enough for the family?Ji Anyi pondered in his heart.

For 150 catties of goods, at least three hundred catties of radishes are needed to make the required quantity.

"Well, I'll wash the radishes at home and bring them here, and I'll chop the chili sauce later." He also vaguely knew that the radishes had to be dried in the sun before they could be made into braised radishes.

"Okay. Excuse me, Zhong San, I have to go to Liu Ah's house, so I'm leaving first." After speaking, Ji Anyi stood up with a smile, and spoke to Zhong San again. , and hurried towards Liu Ama's house.

Liu Xiu was cleaning the yard, when she saw Ji Anyi, a big and bright smile appeared on her face. "Ji Geer."

"Brother Liu, aren't you in the house?" Ji Anyi asked as he approached and looked around, but saw no one.

"Ama went to do the laundry and should be back soon. What's up with Brother Ji? Why don't I call me to go." As he said that, he was about to throw away the big tail sweeper in his hand.

When Ji Anyi heard this, he quickly answered the call. "There's no rush, there's nothing urgent, it'll be fine when Liu Ah comes back."

After sitting for a long time, I saw Liu Amo walking this way with a wooden bucket. He obviously saw it too. Ji Anyi, who was sitting in front of the house and was talking to his little brother, thought that he must be looking for him for something. Much faster.

"Liu Ah." When Liu Ah got closer, Ji Anyi stood up and shouted with a smile.

Ah Liu put down the barrel in her hand. "Brother Ji is here." While talking, he looked at Liu Xiu next to him and said. "Axiu, hang up the clothes."

"Okay." Knowing that Ji Ge'er came to see Ah Mo for something, Liu Xiu didn't say much, and picked up the wooden bucket to dry the clothes.

Ji Anyi didn't talk nonsense. "How many radishes do Liu Ah have at home? I am a little nervous about radishes now, and I have lost more than [-] catties. I was thinking that October will be busy. In November, I discussed with my brother and wanted to build a new one. House, I have been busy for these two months. In the winter of December, the sun is not enough to dry the radishes, so I thought, harvest a certain amount of radishes, and drive everything out before November. Some of them have been seen too much, and at least they cost hundreds of catties, Liu Ah, how many autumn radishes have you planted in your family?"

"So many..." Liu Ah Mo secretly clicked her tongue.There are not many radishes grown at home, and the autumn radishes are almost harvested now, and the summer radishes are almost eaten. "It's not bad if I have twenty or thirty catties at home, but the autumn radish should weigh nearly two hundred catties. It was planted in mid-July, and it can be harvested in five or six days." After a pause, he asked again. "Are you ready to start a new house in November?"

"Yeah. I'm thinking of getting the house out before winter. Then I'll have to trouble Ah Liu again." Ji Anyi replied with a smile.

Amo Liu ruffled his hair. "What's the matter? It's not troublesome. It's more common. There is nothing too important in November. It just happens to be slowly entering the slack season. Usually, I will go to the town to find some short-term workers. At this time, I will build a house. I am not afraid that there will be no one. Wait until October. Around the middle of the month, let's discuss the specific matters. Now, we have to get the goods ready in advance. In November, we can't do anything at home. This will be busy for several months. I think, some less important tasks, let Axiu went over to help you, you kid, don't be too energetic, after all, you are not very old, so you should pay attention."

"Hey..." This kindness and love like an elder warmed Ji Anyi's heart, and he smiled a little silly. "Ah Liu, that's what I was about to say."

"Let Axiu go with you in a while. He also loves to be by your side. You two are not much different in age, but you are much better than him. I feel relieved that he will follow you. If there is anything, you can tell me Teach him, he's a bit short-tempered, and after being with you for a long time, he should be able to get over it." If his family's Axiu is half as smart and astute as Ji Ge'er, he won't have to worry about getting married in the future.

Thinking about Liu Xiu's temper, Ji Anyi vaguely understood something, and answered these words very seriously. "Liu Ah, take it easy, I know how to get along with Axiu." After a pause, he said again. "Ah Liu, Ah Zhong and San Ah, there are not many chili peppers at home. The chili sauce and chili powder are missing this time. How many chili peppers do you have?"

"Tell me how much you want? I'll help you with this matter. My family doesn't have enough chili peppers. I'll go ask some of them."

This is the best way, Liu Ama knows the situation of the whole village much better than him.Ji Anyi thought for a while and replied. "The nearest order requires about a hundred catties of chili sauce, and about twenty catties of chili powder." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that if Su Jinming asked Xiaomu to bring it back, the taste would be more delicious... He hurriedly changed his words. "About 25 catties, Liu Ah, look at it, whoever's garlic is good, and help me collect some."

The chili powder is dried radish with garlic, and the chili sauce is the amount of dried radish and fish sauce.

"Okay. If you have something to do, just come and say it. Sometimes it's convenient, and I'm better at it than you."

There is still a big gap between adults and children. Although the villagers look at Ji Anyi now, they no longer simply look at children, with a certain amount of respect, but they are still not comparable to the elders.

"Okay. I know." As he said that, Ji Anyi smiled again, remembering that he seemed to have forgotten something, so he thought about it carefully. "Ah Liu, I heard from Axiu that there is also a small pond behind the house where some fish are raised."

Amo Liu listened and smiled cheerfully. "Yes, the pond is not big, that is, I catch fish by myself on weekdays, and the neighbors will come to catch some if they are greedy."

"That's it. Liu Ah, my family's fish may be a little low, and I'm afraid I'll come over to buy some fish." After a pause, Ji Anyi said again. "This is not something that happened once or twice. I thought, Boss Ruosu's business is good. This business is no better than jam. It only lasted for more than a month. This, you have to buy from the beginning to the end of the year."

After hearing this, Liu Ahma understood what he meant. "When there are few fish, come and catch them. I'll watch them, and find a time to get some fish fry to raise."

He had said almost everything that should be said, and then he said something else. After Liu Xiu came over, Ji Anyi followed him back home.

At home, Wang Baoer was making soybeans, looking at the extra large water tank, Ji Anyi was stunned. "Brother, this big water tank..."

Wang Baoer straightened up and looked back. "Brother Ji is back." Seeing Liu Xiu next to him, he greeted with a smile. "Little Brother Liu, come and play." Then, his eyes fell on Ji Anyi, and he replied. "The time is running out, so I asked Ah Qiang to go home and brought over the spare vat at home. Soaking soybeans in two large vats can also speed up the time."

If it wasn't for the money to buy the vat, he would still be thinking about taking a sip of three-pot soybeans with bubbles.

"Then, when Xiao Mu comes over tomorrow, I'll ask him to buy three tanks." Tanks are needed for storage, and tanks are needed for soaking beans. Now that he is much more proficient at marinating fish sauce, he will be in a hurry again. It was used for marinating before. The jar can be changed to a larger size.If you buy more at one time, it will be cheaper. Well, Xiaomu will come over tomorrow, and ask him about this. These tanks and jars must be of good quality and durable.Ji Anyi thought about it in his heart, and secretly calculated his money bag.

Wang Baoer shook his head listening. "I bought so many tanks and altars, and there is no place to store them. Now I will use them together. When I build a new house, remember to build a special house. Make sure the location is convenient for storage."

It is absolutely impossible to put it outside. A few days ago, the utility room was deliberately cleaned out, and the things that were originally put in it were put into the house or the kitchen. Now, the house and the kitchen are very crowded.

Uh... Ji Anyi recalled embarrassingly that his home was really small, the three rooms were not spacious, and there were already four jars and a vat in the utility room, and Xiaomu bought two more for him the day after tomorrow, so he had to Take a good look at the position.It's okay to put the two large tanks for soaking soybeans outside.

The small pots and jars are really troublesome. When he went back to Wanjing, he discussed with Su Jinming. Fortunately, it was safer to get two medium-sized pots to hold things in. Now there are two pots and a jar in the utility room. It's just for loading.

Thinking of this, Ji Anyi suddenly remembered that there were too many orders this time, and he guessed that Xiaomu would bring two vats over tomorrow, so there would be no room for the two vats he bought...

He suddenly realized that building a new house was imminent!

If Xiao Muzhen brought the altar over tomorrow, he would have to trouble him to ship it back when he got the goods, and he would leave on the same day it was loaded, otherwise, there would really be no place to put it.

"Yes. This matter must be kept in mind. When the time comes, we must look after the location and build a larger room specially to store these altars and vats." Ji Anyi came back to his senses, and continued the conversation.

The topic changed in this new house, and he was talking vigorously when he saw the second brother He came over.

Ji Anyi settled the money for him, chatted for a while, and then he left.

After the second brother He left, the topic of the new house stopped. Liu Xiu and Ji Anyi set up a bamboo table and started cutting carrot sticks.

It didn't take long for Zhong San to come over, the radish was washed very clean, and Bai Pang looked happy, knowing that they were busy, and he had something to do at home, so he didn't say much.

Wang Baoer and Wang Xiaoer were busy soaking beans, Ji Anyi and Liu Xiu were busy cutting radish sticks.

After Ji Aqiang came over with a bag of soybeans, he looked at the situation, put away his things and took over the work in Wang Baoer's hands, and Wang Baoer came over to cut radish sticks together.

It was about halfway through the hour, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and the sweat was so fast that it was no longer suitable for working in front of the house, but...

There are too many things in the kitchen, three people plus two tables and bamboo flats, it can't be crowded at all.

"No, it's too hot. I think we need to build a temporary shed to come out." Wang Baoer put down the knife in her hand, stood under the eaves, and wiped the sweat from her forehead while talking.

If there is no Uncle Ji, in fact, Ji's house is a good place to go.

Liu Xiu has been working in the sun for so long, but she didn't complain that she was tired. Her face was flushed from the sun, but her eyes were bright black, and she looked very cute. "I'll see, Brother Ji, let's go to my house first and get busy. It just so happens that the radishes at home don't need to be brought over. Let's cut them there directly."

"Look at this method." Wang Baoer responded and said again. "Cut the radish strips first, and then build a shed next to here." After that, there is still a lot of work to do, and I can't keep running to Liu Amo's house.
