Chapter 5: Making money is not easy

Seeing Xiaoniang looking at her with a smile, she immediately shifted the subject awkwardly: "Well, what about Yiming?"
"Yiming is in the front yard? Just where did you go? Why don't you go and see if there is anything I can help you with?"
Aunt Xiao continued to work in her hands. Recently, she had no money at home. She had to make more embroidery. When the next four days, let Xiao Yiming take the delivery in town to exchange for some money. Starting ww..co
"Okay, I'm busy with that madam." Luo Manman, who eats people's homes, has to be diligent.
"This child is quite diligent." Aunt Xiao laughed at the thin figure.
This time, there is a daughter-in-law, and the next step is to hug the grandson. Aunt Xiao is looking forward to the harmony of the future family and grinning.
There are two yards in the Xiao family. They are divided into the front yard and the back yard. The back yard is for chicken breeding, and some wood fires are piled up.
The front yard is relatively narrow. Generally, Xiao Yiming works in the front yard.
Luo Manman came to the front yard and saw such a scene, lying on the ground, the big tree that was carried back in the morning, which would have been quietly lying on the ground and cut into sections.
Xiao Yiming took a small knife and a small saw and carved it carefully on the wood. On the stool beside him, there were several finished products, namely a wooden spoon and a wooden spatula.
Luo Manman came over, picked it up and looked at it a few times, the edge of this spoon was polished, and he couldn't see that he had this good craft.


"Daughter-in-law, you are here." Xiao Yiming was building a wooden bowl at the moment, and he felt that there was a line of sight resting on him, and he looked up, wasn't it his wife-in-law?
"You did all this?" Luo Manman asked?
"Yes, how does your daughter-in-law feel about this workmanship?" Xiao Yiming asked, exposing two rows of white teeth.
"This is pretty handicraft, it looks like many years."
"My daughter-in-law has good eyesight. It's been almost ten years. I just rely on this to eat. I usually make small wooden products for every household and sell them at the fair, in exchange for living expenses.
Daughter-in-law, you can rest assured that although my family is poor, I will work harder and not let you suffer. "
Xiao Yiming raised confidence in the eyes of his craftsman and said that his eyes were full of firmness.
"Sorry, I'm a drag on you." Luo Manman apologized.
But isn't it? The benefactor managed to save some silver and spent it on her.


She was already sensitive to the cuckoo incident of washing clothes by the stream in the morning, and she could n’t ask any questions.
"Daughter-in-law, don't say that." Xiao Yiming stared at her with a few smirks and began to bury her head.
One morning passed, Luo Manman looked at the table with two more finished products.
Xiao Yiming's knives are superb and his movements are neat. He finished four finished products in one morning.
There are one wooden spoon, two wooden spatulas, and one wooden bowl.
Seeing that he didn't rest all morning, a pair of big hands kept busy.
It's not easy to make money, and I don't know how much these things can sell. Luo Manman thought to himself that he must adapt to life here as soon as possible and come up with a way to get rich.
In a flash, it was almost noon. On the stove in the kitchen, Xiao Niang's busy figure appeared. At this time, the cauldron on the stove was hot, and it was probably cooking.
Aunt Xiao was carrying a few dead branches to send them to the stove hole.
This will see Luo Manman coming over, rubbing the sweat on his forehead and saying, "Manman, the rice is almost ready, you can wait to eat it immediately."


Luo Manman's face turned red. Shouldn't this newly-conserved wife take the initiative to do these housework, she can't do nothing, and let Aunt Xiao do it. If the village knows it, she must not be killed.
However, she hasn't used this stove yet. This will only be a secret learning in her heart, so as not to make a joke at that time.
With his eyes fixed on the table, he cut half of the vegetables. Luo Manman said quickly, "Let me cut the vegetables."
"Ah, that's good. Wait for you to cook, let me set fire." Xiao Auntie said.
Fortunately, Luo Manman usually cooks at home, which will cut the vegetables and cut the knife fairly neatly.
There are two pots on the stove, one big and one small, the big one is cooking rice, and the small one is used for cooking.
The pot was already hot now, and Aunt Xiao said, "Manman, the seasonings are all on the left side of the cooktop. Do you see it? You can cook."
"Hey, ma'am, I saw it." Luo Manman looked at the window and put a small wooden box for seasoning.
There are several compartments separated by one compartment. It is estimated that this is also the seasoning box made by Xiao Yiming.
Recalling the usual method of Xiao Ainiang, I got some oil in the pot. This oil was fried with rapeseed, so I do n’t need to use a lot of oil.


The pot had begun to ring, and Luo Manman scooped a spoonful of oil into the pot.
When the temperature is about the same, put the chopped vegetables in and fry with a wooden spatula.
When it's almost fried, sprinkle some salt and seasonings, and a bowl of fragrant vegetables will be cooked.
Fortunately, she adapted quickly.
The dishes were cooked, and Xiao Niang said, "Man Man, you set the dishes and I'll ask Yi Ming to eat."
"Good, ma'am." Luo Manman took three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the stove. When the rice was opened, it was discovered that there was a bowl of bacon on the rice pan.
After the rice was served, put the bacon and vegetables on the table. When Xiao Yiming came over, he sat down and started to eat.
Xiao Yiming clamped two pieces of meat directly into her bowl and said, "You are too skinny, come and eat more."
Luo Manman shook his head: "Too much, I can't eat so much."
However, there are only a few pieces of bacon in this bowl. It is estimated that the Xiao family is reluctant to eat.
Xiao Yiming grinned, and clamped a piece of meat to Aunt Xiao: "Mother, eat some meat. After a while, our family will often eat meat."
"My son, you have worked hard." Aunt Xiao was distressed.
"Mother, don't work hard, who made me the roof of the house?"
Xiao Yiming said vaguely with greens, "This is a vinegared vegetable. It's delicious. The oil is a bit too much."
Luo Manman froze, and she had put very little, "Oh, that, I will pay attention next time."
"It's okay, put more delicious food, wait for Xianggong to make a lot of money, we're not bad for this." Xiao Yiming always talked heartily, and said whatever he thought.
After eating, Luo Manman took the initiative to clean up the chopsticks. "That, ma'am, you go and do it, I'll wash the bowl."
Aunt Xiao thought she could embroider more flowers today, and didn't rob her: "Well then, Man Man, you worked hard."
"Yes, it should." She doesn't embroider, she always has to grab some work she can do.
It has been two or three days since I came to this house, and Luo Manman has also become familiar with the life of this house.
The Xiao family didn't have a lot of fertile fields, so there were only two vegetable fields. Usually, they had to order a la carte, and eat meat, which was very rare.
Xiao Yiming relied on his craft to support his family. When he met a five-day fair, he would sell these handmade groceries in the town.
Aunt Xiao also finished her housework every day and began to embroider her life.
The usual dishes are tofu, sauerkraut, cucumber, loofah and other vegetables that you grow, and there are very few meats on the table.
Luo Manman can eat a few meals these days, which shows that Xiao's family treats her well.
Luo Manman just finished washing the dishes, but the village chief's house just opened the meal.
The small round table is filled with four side dishes: fried mushrooms, boiled tofu, egg and tomato soup, and a bowl of fried fish.
Unlike the poor and sour of the Xiao family, the village chief's family is rich in oil, so the dishes served are even richer.
By this time, Ye's had three bowls of white rice, different from the brown rice eaten by the poor.
The village chief's family is as big as a house, furniture, and small enough to eat rice that is much better than ordinary people.
"Cuckoo, what's wrong? This is, I have been pulling a face back in the morning, who has wronged you." Ye's sons and daughters have been born together, and his son has become a family.
But this daughter is beautiful and smart, and it is her heart that hurts her bones.
Cuckoo shoved a piece of meat into his mouth and said, "It's not the newly bought daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh point at, you can still remember someone else, can someone show you a good look?" The village chief took a sip of wine and some hated iron.
He managed to find a good deed for his daughter, but the daughter was disobedient.
"Dad, why do you say that to me, who remembers Xiao's family, huh ..." Du Juan sizzled a few mouthfuls of rice, the more he wanted to get angry.
Think of Xiao Yiming's usual attitude towards her, huh ... what ’s so great, I bought an ugly daughter-in-law and acted like a treasure. I do n’t want to leave her village flower, and my head was kicked by a donkey.
When Ye saw her daughter was a little loose, she was busy hitting the iron while she was hot: "Since the Xiao family already has a daughter-in-law, don't even think about it, you should listen to your father's arrangement. The boss is no longer young, let's drag it on, let alone the money house in town I won't accept you. "
