Qixun was listening on the side, and realized that Xiao Wu seemed to be obsessed with it, so he took up her words: "Who says it's not the case? I see that the clothes worn by the young ladies in the city are all embroidered, and the fifth aunt's mother's family makes them.

In the silk, satin and ready-to-wear business, I heard that some embroiderers are so skilled that a piece of embroidery can be sold for hundreds of taels. The most powerful embroiderers can sell hundreds of taels for their exquisite work. Xiao Wu, your Su embroidery techniques are here.

But no, you are good at poetry and prose, and your mother praises you for your spirituality. If your embroidery is large, it can be regarded as literati embroidery, and its value cannot be compared with other embroidery.

One piece costs hundreds of taels of silver, right?"

Seeing Xiao Wu purse her lips and smile, she kept up her efforts: "Guan Jian, if you make money by doing embroidery, that's a polite thing. It's not like the second brother, third sister and I, one hunts, one digs medicinal materials, and the other

Be a craftsman."

Lingyu rolled his eyes at her: "How can there be such a comparison? They are both making money, so who is more noble than the other?"

Qixun laughed and said, "That's right. No matter it's a white cat or a black cat, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat. This is what a great man said."

When Brother Monkey heard this, he realized what had happened. He scratched his head and said, "Xiaowu, you are the youngest and my mother is the eldest, so we raise you two, isn't it the right thing to do? You and your mother just have to be happy every day."

That's it. As for your thin arms and legs, we don't expect you."

What a straight man to say.

Lingsu and Gongyu Mingxi almost covered their faces, but Qi Xunshen took it for granted and nodded in agreement.

Lingyu:...Hmph!

But she was actually very happy in her heart, because she suddenly realized that this was not the Rongguo Palace. Here, her mother was her mother, her brother was her brother, and her sister was her sister. Now she no longer needed to hold on to her self-esteem and raise her eyebrows.

You don't need to compare yourself with anyone, let alone worry about being inferior to someone else, or being stepped on in the mud by others.

As the second brother said, she just needs to be happy every day. She is a daughter and sister, and is taken care of by her mother and brothers. Isn't that what she should be?

Seeing that her eyes were filled with smiles, Lingsu pulled her to the kitchen: "Today is the day to take a medicinal bath. Second brother and the others will be late when they come back. If they delay further, it will be midnight. I will boil water."

Xiaowu, help me put the medicinal ingredients."

The whole family has to take a medicated bath every three days. We have taken it several times and the effect is amazing.

Except for Brother Hou, my mother and I all feel that their physical condition has improved significantly, especially Lingyu who feels it the most. She was sick from birth to death in her previous life, but now she finally realizes the benefits of a healthy body.

Therefore, even though every medicinal bath was excruciatingly painful, she still persisted.

Only those who have died once know how good it is to live healthily.

The two sisters went to the kitchen to boil water. Brother Monkey couldn't bear to watch the sisters busy, so he helped himself to the well to fetch water.

Qixun was not idle either, helping Gong Yumingxi put away the things he bought from the county.

Only then did Gong Yumingxi quietly ask her about her fifth uncle and fifth aunt. When she found out that both of them were doing well, that was all.

Everything planned for this day was completed smoothly. Qi Xun was a little regretful that he didn't have time to buy the pork and intestines, especially the little donkey.

After all, to go to the town or county, you have to borrow a donkey cart from someone else, or you have to take an ox cart from the village to the town, which is always inconvenient.

She told Gong Yumingxi that she wanted to buy a donkey, and Gongyu Mingxi agreed: "Your second brother and your Uncle Lu often go to the county town, so they need to buy a donkey and get a car."

As for the pork thing, when Brother Monkey and his third sister Lingsu went to the mountains to pick chestnuts, they encountered a herd of wild boars. Without Uncle Lu, Brother Monkey directly killed them. A herd of wild boars, including seventeen or eighteen pigs, were all killed by him.

I killed it and put it into the space, and when I got home, I took out only one end.

Wild boar meat is fishy and spicy, but the taste of domestic pigs is not that good now. And if it is made into cured meat, the shortcoming of firewood is not so important. Steamed cured meat is the most fragrant, and the steamed meat has a unique texture.

The shortcomings of firewood are not revealed.

As for the fishy smell, the aroma of cured meat can be neutralized a lot. If seasoned properly, it is much more delicious than fresh meat.

Qi Xun will just come down.

She made a whole wild boar, including the liver and lungs, into preserved meat. The wild boar had no oil, and the bit of suet she fried into scallion oil. At least there was no shortage of oil this winter.

Brother Hou and Lingsu have been busy back and forth in the mountains for half a month. Not only did they pick a lot of chestnuts, pine nuts, mushrooms, but they also collected all the firewood for the winter.

Dead trees can be seen everywhere in the deep mountains. Brother Monkey simply took his father with him. When he came across rare large fallen trees, he cut the branches into sizes suitable for burning and tied them up. He put them in his portable space and showed them to him when he came back every day.

He picked up two big bundles and filled his house that had not been burned down. He then built a straw shed behind the current house, leaving half of it for the donkeys. He also filled the other half with firewood.

.

He kept all the trunk of the tree for his family to build a house and make furniture next spring.

And because of Qi Xun's request, the firewood contained mostly pine wood. Not only is pine wood flammable, but it is also the key to cooking rice and baking cakes with pine wood, which makes it more fragrant to her.

These days, Uncle Lu no longer goes hunting in the mountains, but is still storing firewood for the winter.

Not only the two of them, but the whole village is preparing for the winter.

Because the uncle's family is now making tofu, the demand for firewood is much greater than in previous years. The Lingzhou brothers all run up the mountain after school every day, carrying bundles of firewood back every day. They have been busy for more than half a month, saving

The firewood is enough.

Because the fifth uncle was away at the second grandfather's house, Gongyu Mingxi asked his son to help the second grandfather's house prepare firewood.

Lingsu recently went into the mountains with Brother Monkey after morning classes. Brother Monkey was looking for wood and catching some prey, while she was looking for medicinal materials. She had already prepared a lot of medicinal materials at home, and she was just waiting to sell them in the county one day.

The former family should be able to make a lot of money by relying on medicinal materials.

Fortunately, her great-great-great-great-grandfather and grandpa-in-law of the Zuo family's bodies have been well taken care of by her. Now that they are nourishing themselves with a medicinal diet, they no longer need acupuncture. That's why she can go to the mountains every day.

Qixun was also busy here. First, she helped the third sister purify the wine. After soaking the tiger bone wine, she started to make a spinning wheel and a weaving wheel. Brother Monkey helped her cut the big wood and made the materials. She was only responsible for this.

Fortunately, Brother Hou went to the county town later and brought back the iron components customized in the blacksmith shop for the construction of each component.

Gongyu Mingxi opened a small stove for Lingzhou every morning and focused on his studies. In the afternoon, he and Lingyu did some needlework, or helped Lingsu take care of the dried medicinal materials, chestnuts, pine nuts and mushrooms, and occasionally read a book.

Anyway, the whole family is very busy.

As a result, the mahjong that Qixun polished for her mother has never been put to use.

After Brother Hou packed up the firewood, Qixun asked him to build a simple shed of about ten square meters with the green bricks he collected, and built an oven inside.
