Chapter 283 Business
"Mom, what's going on?" Mu Xiu looked at Zhou Shuilian in surprise.
"It's okay, let's work hard and make money quickly. We can't owe Lu Yuan money." Zhou Shuilian replied inconsistently, then quickly walked back to her room, leaving Mu Xiu standing in the yard with confusion.
It was mid-November in a blink of an eye and the weather began to get colder. Mu Xiu woke up every morning and his feet were cold and his quilt was also cold.
"Mom, I want to live in Xiaohua's room and boil the kang. It's too cold." Mu Xiu put on her clothes, poured out a basin of hot water from the thermos bottle, soaked her hands in. The slightly hot water temperature dispelled the chill on her body.
Mu Xiu is a little depressed now. When she built the house, she specially built a wooden bed to make it comfortable to sleep. Now that winter is coming, the wooden bed is still comfortable to sleep on the kang without burning fire.
It's too cold now, and mushrooms and fungus are planted in the greenhouse behind the kitchen. The greenhouse has been rebuilt. Mu Xiu still used the same trick again and deceived his family that the plastic cloth in the greenhouse was sent from the provincial capital...
The greenhouse is close to the wall of the kitchen stove. There is a chimney on the stove to smoke. When it is burned, the greenhouse is hot, and the plastic cloth is wrapped tightly and covered with black cloth. There is plenty of sunshine during the day, and the greenhouse is like spring.
There are three newly built houses of Mu Xiu's family that are connected together, and the dirt pits made in the house are also connected together. Any pit will be heated, and all three rooms will be hot. If you want to be warmer, you can burn which room you can live in and block the passages of the other two rooms.
"Look at you're cold." Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu who was already wearing a thin jacket and said with a smile: "Xiaohua is still young. When you use the room, you probably will get married, so you can live there."
"Mom, is there anyone who says that about your daughter?" Mu Xiu said dissatisfied. After coming to this era for a long time, Mu Xiu's mentality has also been adjusted to a little girl...
"Mom, show off, you're thin-skinned, don't talk nonsense." Mu Xiaocao joked beside her.
"I won't tell you anymore. I'll finish my meal and go to pick up the leaves and burn the kang tonight." Mu Xiu finished washing up and went into the kitchen to have a meal.
"Let's go together." Mu Xiaocao shouted behind her.
Although the sesame poles and corn poles can be used as firewood after the autumn harvest, Mu Xiu's house is big and if you want to live warm and comfortable in winter, you still need to go to the woods to pick up dead branches and leaves.
Every year after the autumn harvest, every household will send laborers to pick up leaves, make the yellow leaves into piles with rakes, and then pack them up one by one and carry them home.
Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaocao picked up leaves in the forest together. When Mu Xiaocao picked up a basket full of all the backpacks, he turned his head to look at Mu Xiu. Mu Xiu's backpack was also filled with leaves, but... Mu Xiaocao just thought something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"Sister, take these two baskets back first, and I will continue to pick them up." Mu Xiu gave the filled basket to Mu Xiaocao.
"Xiu, let's pick up leaves in another place. Why are there so few leaves here?" Mu Xiaocao picked up his backpack and left first.
"It seems that I really need to change a few more places, and I almost found out." Mu Xiu stuck out his tongue.
It turned out that Mu Xiu picked up leaves while collecting them into the space. She had just collected the piles of leaves into the space, leaving only a thin layer of dead leaves. No wonder Mu Xiaocao felt strange at first glance.
Mu Xiu looked at the nearby villagers who were picking up leaves in the woods. She walked inside and collected leaves in the space while people were not paying attention. When Mu Xiaocao returned to find her, there were already a small hill-like leaves in Mu Xiaocao's space, which was enough for her to burn the kang this winter. After all, she lived in one room alone, and no one knew how much she burned.
In the next few days, Mu Xiushai Muyou, Shiitake Mu Xiaocao took Li Pandi to pick up leaves, Mushui and Chen Xuhui fertilized and weeded the land, and went to the market when they encountered the market. The weather was getting colder and colder, and this winter seemed to be particularly early.
"Bang bang bang." Mu Shui's sound came from the knock on the door, "Xiu, open the door."
"Here you come." Mu Xiu put down the work in his hand and walked towards the gate. After opening it, Mu Shui led the ox cart and walked into the yard with Chen Xuhui.
"Dad, are you back soon today?" Mu Xiu asked strangely at Mu Shui, who looked happy.
"You don't know that as soon as our ox cart arrives at the market, everyone will come to buy things, skin care products, soaps, egg steamed cakes and popcorn, which can be sold as much as you bring. Why don't you make the five-spice soybeans and the hanging stove peanuts you made are sold clean today. I'm not going to be back too early."
"That's because Uncle Mu didn't sell backpacks and baskets today, so he came back earlier than usual." Chen Xuhui told the truth. On weekdays, other things can be sold out soon, but those bamboo baskets and the like will have to wait a long time to sell them out.
"You kid, you won't give your uncle some face!" Mu Shui glared at Chen Xuhui with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, come in and wash it. Have you eaten? I'll go and heat up the lunch meal." Mu Xiu said with a funny look.
"We have eaten it all at noon. Show me, hurry up and copy some soybeans and peanuts. Today, a big customer came and said that they each cost 30 kilograms, 20 kilograms of popcorn, and 50 kilograms of fried in the market." Mushui remembered the serious matter.
"To be so much? What to do? There are not many peanuts anymore, and I want to keep them at home." Mu Xiu fryed 20 kilograms of peanuts yesterday, leaving 80 kilograms of peanuts, and hundreds of kilograms of soybeans.
"The other party seems to be holding a banquet, and put some snacks like peanuts and melon seeds on the table. Oh, if I had known that fried peanuts were easy to sell, I wouldn't sell them to the grain station." Mushui looked annoyed. It costs 50 cents per pound to sell them to the grain station, and 70 cents per pound on the market. Although it is a bit expensive, everyone can buy them for two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of two taels of them.
"I have no experience this year, so I will stay all next year." Mu Xiu also felt deeply.
"Then let's fry 50 kilograms of soybeans and 30 kilograms of peanuts." Mushui thought for a while and said.
"Dad, you just want to sell it for money... I can't fry it." Mu Xiu had been frying the 20 pounds last time for a day.
"What should I do?" Mushui turned around in a hurry.
"You confiscate other people's deposit again, by the way, have you collected it?" Mu Xiu asked suddenly.
"Uncle Mu collected a deposit of ten yuan." Chen Xuhui answered for Mu Shui.
"You can cheat your daughter!" Mu Xiu was speechless for a while, and stopped talking, and quickly fry it.
Chen Xuhui and Mu Shui followed Mu Xiu and carried out two sacks of soybeans and peanuts from the cellar.
