Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 253 Shen Feiling's Marriage

"How much does it cost in town?" It's not good to always borrow from others. I have it at home and can take it out whenever I want to eat it.

Lan Qiuhua thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what the price is these years. Many years ago, I bought a rolling pin and a dough board for 20 cents."

"I got my panel and rolling pin made by a carpenter for less than ten cents."

Ji Wenhe decided to go to the carpenter's house to make it, as it was too expensive in town.

After walking a few steps, he remembered, "Aunt Lan, I need to go to the blacksmith shop to buy a knife. The knife I have at home for cutting meat is not good enough."

"Sister-in-law, I remember that Brother Rong Rongshan has a dagger. Use that to cut the pork, so you don't have to spend money to buy it."

"…He brought that dagger back from the battlefield."

Although he said he had never killed anyone with the dagger and had cleaned it carefully, he still couldn't accept it when it came into contact with food.

Shen Suya suddenly remembered: "Sister-in-law, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Arriving at the blacksmith shop, the shirtless man stopped forging iron and said with a smile, "What do you want to buy, young lady?"

Ji Wenhe looked around the stall and pointed at the special knife for cutting pork: "How much is this knife?"

"Twenty-eight cents."

"can it be cheaper?"

"You give twenty-seven."

"Okay, I'll take this one."

After counting the copper coins and handing them to him, he pursed his lips and looked sideways. It was a chopstick holder specially used to hold money.

Put the money in and the knife at the bottom of the basket.

"Let's go, there's nothing to buy now."

The three of them came to Zhou’s rice shop.

Shen Suya pointed to the front: "Mother, sister-in-law, I think I saw Sister Liuyun."

Lan Qiuhua looked in the direction of her finger: "Why don't I see it?"

There were too many people in front, and none of their backs looked like Shen Liuyun's.

"I really saw her, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Ji Wenhe looked over and said, "It's normal to see this. The town isn't big, but it's not small either. I guess they are out shopping to relax."

Walking to the donkey cart, Shen Anguo said, "We ran into Sister Liuyun. Her mother-in-law came out with her and we talked for a few words."

"See, I said I saw it."

"No one said you didn't see her." Lan Qiuhua asked, "How is she?"

"She must be doing well. She is chatting and laughing with her mother-in-law. It is obvious that her mother-in-law cares about her very much."

At this time, Shen Rongshan came out of the shop: "Aunt Lan, Wen He, let's go, let's leave the town first and take a car outside."

"to make."

Several people followed behind.

Ji Wenhe talked to them for a while in the back, then ran to the front and said, "Brother Shen, I bought a pork-cutting knife and went back to ask the carpenter to make a rolling pin and a panel."

"Okay, what about the chopping board? You said last time that it was time to change it. Let's do it together. Let's do it later."

"Let's switch them together. Make two, one for cutting vegetables and one for cutting meat."

Shen Rongshan had heard her say before that using the same cutting board for cutting vegetables and meat would cause all kinds of problems, which would be bad for your health in the long run.

Although I didn't understand what she said, I just felt that what she said made sense and was right.

Back in the village, the twins harvested the cabbages and piled them in the cellar.

The vegetable plot was empty. Ji Wenhe walked around the plot and saw Wang Erfeng coming over. He asked, "Aunt Wang, you have harvested the cabbages in your vegetable plot. What vegetables are you going to plant?"

"Hoodoo beans."

What kind of beans are Hu Dou? She was embarrassed to ask.

"Broad beans are delicious when they are tender, but they have to be cooked. They cannot be eaten raw, and you can't eat too much. Eating too much will make your stomach bloated."

Hu Dou, it can’t be broad bean.

She remembered that broad beans cannot be eaten raw or in large quantities. Eating too many will cause bloating and vomiting. In addition, some people will have a hemolytic reaction after eating broad beans and will develop favism.

While working, I met a colleague who ate too many broad beans and vomited continuously. He was eventually diagnosed with favism.

"I forgot. I forgot to buy some broad beans to plant." Shen Rongshan didn't tell her.

"It's too early. We don't plant until the end of October or the beginning of November."

Ji Wenhe looked at the empty land and said, "Let's tidy up the land and apply some fertilizer tomorrow."

She wanted to shovel some of the soil from the vegetable field to the wasteland, and shovel some of the soil from the wasteland to the vegetable field. The soil in the vegetable field contained chicken manure.

Otherwise, if the soil from the wasteland is moved over, the vegetable field will become higher and higher, and the wasteland will become lower and lower, and the rain will flood the land.

Wang Erfeng stood at the edge of the field, folding her arms and saying, "You harvested the cabbages so early."

"Yes, it's almost frost."

"It's still a few days before the frost falls. We'll wait a few days before picking them."

Ji Wenhe saw a smile on her face and asked, "Aunt Wang, what are you so happy about?"

"It's nothing. I just made some money from selling the grain, and I'm happy."

Thinking of her eldest son Shen Liao, who was fourteen this year, she asked, "Aunt Wang, is your Shen Liao looking for a marriage partner this year?"

"I'm discussing with his father at home. After his birthday on November 15th, should we show him now or wait until after his birthday?"

She walked to the end of the field and said, "What difference does it make? It's only a few days away. Aunt Lan will take Anguo to see the bride tomorrow. If it works out, we can have the wedding in these two months."

"Aunt Wang, go sit in the shed."

Wang Erfeng nodded and walked side by side with her: "Your Aunt Wu's family is also looking for Shen Feiling, but he hasn't come back yet, I don't know if he can be seen."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Maybe they will get married in the same month."

"That's nothing. In a village not far from my husband's family, a family is marrying off their daughter-in-law and daughter at the same time."

"They are exchanging marriages, right?"

"Yes, neither family can find a daughter-in-law, so let's make a deal. My son will marry your daughter, and your daughter will marry into my family as a daughter-in-law."

Unless the family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet, no one would be willing to exchange wives.

Lan Qiuhua came out of the chicken coop and saw the two of them: "Erfeng, when will your Shen Liao look for a marriage partner?"

"In the next two days, if you see Lin Yue Niang, tell her to come to my house."

"Okay, I'll tell her when I see her tomorrow."

The three of them were standing at the door chatting, and they caught a glimpse of two people walking towards them from the east. They were Wu Caifeng and Shen Feiling.

Ji Wenhe looked over and said, "Shen Feiling's marriage is done."

Both of them had irrepressible joy on their faces.

"Eighty percent of them are." When people approached, Wang Erfeng said with a smile, "There will be a happy event in our village."

Shen Feiling greeted everyone one by one and turned around to go home.

Wu Caifeng pretended to be stupid and asked, "Who is it? Whose family is having a wedding?"

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Aunt Wu, please stop pretending. Look how happy you are. You can't even suppress your smile. It must be your family."

Lan Qiuhua agreed: "I'm waiting for your family to hold a wedding and have a feast."

"Okay, I'll invite you all when the day comes. You all must come."

"I will definitely go." Wang Erfeng asked again, "How much do you want as a betrothal gift?"

Wu Caifeng sighed, "We asked for 8.8 taels. Every family has just sold their grain, so they thought we had money."

"Let Lin Yueniang talk about it. In the end, she will give 6.6 taels. How much will it cost to hire someone to arrange a date and hold a banquet in two days?"
