Chapter 032: I Didn't Look at the Yellow Calendar When I Went Out
Originally, the ugly mother-in-law was already starting to cook, but now that the cousin of the Xiao family is here, He Peier has put together the flour and plans to paste the cakes, and add two more dishes.
Xiao Shaoguo didn't come in vain this time, he was embarrassed to eat at his cousin's house all the time, so he bought a piece of fresh pork in the town and brought it to her.
He Peier borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and directly fried most of the pork, leaving only a small piece to eat tomorrow, and now in this weather, fresh meat can't be kept.
After the meal, several people started to soak the beans together, and they couldn't wait to calculate the money and share the profits, in addition to the cost of this new investment, there were almost ten yuan to share.
This ten yuan is also a lot of money in this era, Xiao Shaoguo is particularly impressed when he holds it in his hand, this day's trading is almost equivalent to his previous income from selling vegetables for a month, and he doesn't have to deduct it from the family's rations.
In the final analysis, it is the credit of his cousin to have such a good business, he just made some efforts, and even the cost of the first business was paid by his cousin first, compared with his cousin, he felt that he had taken advantage.
Xiao Shaoguo took out two yuan from the ten yuan he received, "Pei'er, the main reason why the business can be so good is that the things you make are delicious enough and the price is not expensive, which can be accepted by most people, and your credit is the first to bear, I think the profit distribution plan we discussed last time was not appropriate, you should share more." ”
The two yuan were handed to him, He Pei'er smiled and glared at her eldest cousin pretending to be unhappy, "Big cousin, you are too unsightly when you say these things, the capital is deducted from the profits, I will sell you the goods, fair and just, and the profit distribution is also good for us last time, now you don't tell me anything about more and less, you can take this money well." ”
He Peier pushed Xiao Shaoguo's hand back, and seeing that he was still a little hesitant, she glanced at the little cousin next to her and said, "Don't push it, you must keep this money, not only Xiaobao wants to use it, but my little cousin hasn't found a partner yet, so it's time to prepare it for him." ”
The little cousin is three years older than herself, she is twenty-one years old this year, the family is too poor to get the bride price, his marriage has not been settled for the time being, in the previous life, there was no news of the little cousin's marriage until He Peier left here, and she didn't want him to be an older youth in this life.
Speaking of his little brother, Xiao Shaoguo was very guilty, if it weren't for his son's illness, his brother's marriage would not have been delayed.
"Well, big cousin, listen to you. But if there are any difficulties or things in the future, just tell me, whether it is me or the Xiao family, I will help you well. ”
"Got it." She knew these things in her previous life.
After sending off her cousins, He Peier carried her things up the mountain again, she used to have fields and land in the village, and she usually did farm work and housework, and she didn't stop all day long. Now there is no land to plant, and the house is basically taken care of by the ugly mother-in-law, who has nothing to do except dig traps and set prey.
The col at the waterhole is almost parallel to her house, and the nearest village is Xiaxi Village, which is half an hour away.
However, this waterhole is not big, and there are not many fish, if it is just that you can eat it at home, you can't sell it.
In fact, as long as the fish can grasp the water quality and prevent natural disasters, it can come out of the pond twice a year, and the profit is still good.
Pushing aside the branches that covered the trap, He Pei'er threw down the bamboo basket filled with dirt, and the man jumped into the pit along the hemp rope.
Now the trap has been dug as high as half a person, it is very inconvenient for her to dig alone, and it is also a little difficult, originally she also thought about letting the ugly mother-in-law come to help her, but after thinking about it, forget it, she is afraid that the fish in the pool will scare the ugly mother-in-law to death.
And the ugly mother-in-law didn't mention it, every time she went up the mountain, she told her to be careful, it seems that the ugly mother-in-law also knows very well that she is murderous and will scare away animals, otherwise she will rely on her skills, not to mention tigers, bears and the like, how to fight a wild boar should be no problem.
But in her previous life, she had never had any of these game, and occasionally she could only bring back a rabbit, and it is estimated that before she reached the place, the nearby prey was scared away.
He Peier plans to dig the trap until it is about the same height as herself, and then see the effect, it is estimated that it will take two to three days to complete this project.
As the sun set, He Peier lifted the last basket of mud and took it to the shore downstream of the waterhole to fill the gap.
It was not too early now, she had packed up her tools and was about to descend the mountain, when she was walking a short distance when she heard two pheasant crows.
It can't be a pheasant falling into the trap, right? Is there such luck that there is prey hooked before it is dug well.
He Peier put down the things in her hand and walked quickly to the trap, just as she wanted to uncover the branches and take a look, she didn't know what she stepped on, and the whole person threw herself down directly and fell into the trap.
Rub, it's really unlucky to get home, dig a trap and catch yourself......
Most of the tree skills covering the mouth of the well fell into the well with her body, and when she landed, He Peier let out a "sigh", her feet hit the ground first, and she was still trapped.
At the same time, she also heard a few rooster crows and the sound of wings waving, and it turned out that the pheasant had fallen in.
But now the chicken is not the point, she feels that her foot hurts, and she doesn't know if it has been broken.
"Woo woo......" He Peier sat up with half of her body propped up, and her hand gently touched her ankle, and it hurt terribly.
No, if it really breaks, it will be miserable, she can't think about the current level of medicine, she can't become disabled, there is no shortage of disabled people in the family.
He Pei'er sat against the wall for a while before she recovered, now his feet couldn't move, it was impossible to climb out, and the rope on the tree had been untied for her, and she had nothing to climb.
Now in this situation, she can only wait for the ugly mother-in-law to come up and save her.
Today is really unlucky, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out.
He Pei'er leaned against the pit wall and sighed, and opposite her, the yellow and black pheasants also stared at her motionless with small eyes the size of mung beans.
One person and one chicken can't get out, so they can only stare here.
Hehe, isn't this chicken the pheasant with high toes last time, and the big fat chicken on the other side is still his old enemy after a long time.
Now that the two of them have fallen together, it doesn't even want to run.
He Pei'er looked at it and sneered, and there were already several cooking plans in her mind, braised rice, slow stewed, white cut, salted rice, chicken stewed mushrooms......
I don't know if the chicken sensed the various ways of death arranged in her head, or if her laughter frightened it, and the pheasant began to become restless, looking at the well, looking at her, and trying to fly out together.
In order to catch you, I may even break my foot, how can I let it go.
He Peier grabbed a branch next to her, as long as it dared to run, she would directly use the branch to skewer it and take it back to make roast chicken.
