After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Jiang Xiaohua wrapped the handkerchief again and put it back in its place.

These things must have been worth a lot of money when they were in their original condition.

Now there are only bits and pieces left. Although they cannot be sold at a high price, they are all gems and gems, real hard currency.

Keep it close by, and you can use the two to exchange for money at any time.

As for the crystal tripod, Jiang Xiaohua decided to keep it as is for the time being.

The golden beans inside also continued to be placed there.

Li Yuanzhi asked, "Do you also doubt the origin of these things?"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "Yes."

"I don't know if this matter is really related to what we have in front of us."

She paused and said, "My second uncle once mentioned it when he was telling me about his experiences in various places."

"There are rumors that a prince from the previous dynasty buried treasure in a place when he fled."

"According to the second uncle's description, it should be in the Hualin Village area."

Li Yuanzhi's expression was also a little solemn.

"No one knows who dug up these treasures."

"If there is a chance to know the exact news, it will be either the imperial court or the rebels."

In other words, if nothing happens, it will be fine. Once something happens, it will be a fatal matter.

The two looked at each other with the same thought in their minds.

The digging up must not be known to a third person.

Even his four cubs had to hide it.

After all, they were still young, and there was absolutely no benefit in knowing such a potentially fatal secret.

Li Yuanzhi watched Jiang Xiaohua put away her things, returned to her seat and lay down, sleepless for a long time.

Before falling asleep, he had only one belief left in his mind.

No matter what unknown things will happen in the future, he only needs to protect Jiang Xiaohua.

In order not to bother the host who knocked on the door and called her, Jiang Xiaohua and her family got up at dawn the next day.

When folding quilts, Jiang Xiaohua folded one quilt, and Liu Guang immediately took another quilt and followed suit.

Seeing that Zaizi was interested in learning, Jiang Xiaohua deliberately slowed down her movements and explained to him step by step.

This kid aspires to be in the military camp, but his temper is too lively and impulsive. It would be better for him to learn to clean up the house and sharpen his temper.

Liu Guangzhi folded it again, but it couldn't be folded into a square tofu cube.

He was a little anxious, "I obviously did as you told me, why can't I do it?"

I have to go out to attend the pig-killing feast today, so I don't have time for Liu Guang to continue practicing.

Jiang Xiaohua started to refold the quilt that Liu Guang had not folded, and said:

"Don't be anxious. It's not that you're not good at it. When you understand the method, it's more important to practice."

"Calm down, don't be impatient, practice repeatedly, and with enough effort, things will fall into place naturally."

Liu Guang was silent and thoughtful, having already taken in all the stepmother's words.

Liu Ming and Liu Yong also felt deeply.

Liu Ming said, "This is what the book says, as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle."

Liu Yong said, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”

The family opened the door and went out, and saw Mrs. Qin coming out of the kitchen.

Mrs. Qin's face was full of joy, "Hey, why did you get up so early?"

"I just made breakfast, and I said I would call you later!"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and replied, "I thought I had something serious to do today, so I woke up early."

She said and asked, "Why did you make breakfast again today?"

Mrs. Qin said, "I have to work today, and my stomach is empty. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through noon."

"I didn't cook anything serious. I just steamed a pot of sweet potatoes, made a pot of old pumpkin soup, and ordered sauerkraut."

Li Yuanzhi said, "This is the best thing to eat for breakfast."

After breakfast, the two families divided into two groups.

Li Yuanzhi and Hua Yong went to dig a road at the entrance of the village.

Mrs. Qin took Jiang Xiaohua and the children to her third uncle's house.

While walking, Jiang Xiaohua asked, "The men have gone to dig the road at the entrance of the village. Who will catch the pigs?"

Usually the ritual of the pig killing feast starts with catching the pig.

A fat pig weighing several hundred kilograms will run away suddenly when it knows it is going to be slaughtered.

Therefore, several strong men are needed to work together to contain the pigs.

The pigs were then tied up and carried together to the pig-killing platform in the center of the yard.

Finally, a professional pig butcher takes care of it.

The butcher is also usually the strongest man.

This series of pilot activities are led by men in the village.

The women are responsible for boiling hot water and preparing the side dishes and ingredients for the pig killing feast.

Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "The entrance to the village has already been cleared, so there won't be so many people."

"Yesterday they should have all assigned who will kill the pig and who will dig the road."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "Then what should I do later?"

As an outsider, it is not good for her to be too outstanding or too lazy.

It is best for guests to do as they please and ignore everyone else.

Mrs. Qin understood Jiang Xiaohua's concerns and said, "Just do whatever you see, and you don't have to look at other people's faces."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they won't dare to exclude you."

Many villagers have already arrived at the third uncle's house.

People chatted in small groups in the courtyard, and laughter broke out from time to time.

Uncle Hua San is Hua Yonghe’s cousin.

As soon as Mrs. Qin entered the door, she introduced Jiang Xiaohua to the host family.

"Three uncles and three aunts, these are the great benefactors who helped put out the fire in my house."

"She was too embarrassed to come here today."

"I saw that she was capable, so I had to drag her over to help."

A few words gave Jiang Xiaohua enough face.

The third uncle's two daughters-in-law immediately invited Jiang Xiaohua to sit on the kang and poured noodles and tea.

Jiang Xiaohua hurriedly declined, "I won't sit down anymore. I just came here after eating, and my stomach is still full."

"I see it's about to start outside. I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help."

Mrs. Qin and Jiang Xiaohua went out to the kitchen.

The women from the third uncle's family also followed.

Everyone was chatting, some were responsible for holding firewood, and some were responsible for lighting the fire.

Someone else took a big gourd and ladle and poured ladle after ladle of water into two large iron pots.

Everyone has found their place.

Mrs. Qin found two clean large washbasins and brought Jiang Xiaohua to the outer wall of the kitchen.

There are a row of large and small pottery jars and pottery urns here, with white salt stains on the surface.

Jiang Xiaohua said, "Are these pickles?"

Mrs. Qin skillfully opened the first vat.

She reached in with clean chopsticks that were water-free and oil-free, and Jiang Xiaohua held the basin in her hand.

The first big vat contains pickled cabbage.

In the second tank is pickled radish.

The third tank contains Physalis cress.

A sour smell wafted in the air.

Jiang Xiaohua couldn't help but salivate secretion faster.

She was a little curious about today's menu and asked, "Do these three kinds of sauerkraut need to be stewed with meat?"

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "How can we stew together?"

"Although they are all sauerkraut, the taste is different. Of course, each has its own use."

The two of them returned to the kitchen with basins in hand.

The pickled cabbage needs to be washed several times, remove excess water and then cut into shreds.

There is no need to wash white radish and physalis water celery, both of which can be eaten directly.

Mrs. Qin pinched a piece of celery and brought it to Jiang Xiaohua's mouth, "Try it."
