Ji Qingyao ignored Mrs. Li's cannibalistic look. After the crowd dispersed, she greeted Jiang and walked toward the village chief's house.
Ji Qingyao has always been an activist. When she arrived at the village chief's house, she borrowed the kitchen of the village chief's house and made a pickled cabbage and shredded potato soup and a sweet potato porridge using the potatoes and sweet potatoes she bought from the space.
It doesn't take time to make these two things. While cooking, she also put a few potatoes and sweet potatoes to roast in the firewood under the stove.
After the two dishes were prepared, Ji Qingyao invited the village chief to taste them.
Pei Ningyuan tasted two bites of each and motioned to several men in his family to taste it too. After that, everyone squinted their eyes unconsciously. Later, everyone ate a piece of roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes. Jiang was also stunned. Can't stand it anymore.
Looking at Ji Qingyao excitedly, "Girl Yao, the two things you brought can not only be used for cooking, but also full of food. This..." Ji Qingyao knew that no matter how much talking, it was better to do it, so he bought it at the county seed shop. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were poured out of the basket, and he also explained why sprouted potatoes were inedible.
He also told the Pei family about the method of raising potato and sweet potato seedlings, and said that the wasteland he had opened was for growing these two crops. If the village chief and his family were not afraid of the trouble, they could open two acres of wasteland and try planting it.
The eldest son of the village chief's family is going to participate in the construction of the wall this afternoon. The second son is helping Ji Qingyao to open up wasteland. Jiang decided to take a few daughters-in-law to open up wasteland. Because it is a trial planting, there is no need to open up too much. She has two acres of land with her three sons. The daughter-in-law can finish it in two days, just leave the third child to cook.
She was the only one in Ji Qingyao's family, so it was not easy for her to participate in the construction of the wall. She told Pei Ningyuan that she was responsible for the meat during the construction of the wall. Pei Ningyuan knew Ji Qingyao's hunting skills, but the people who built the wall were all men. It's physical work. Even if the village only provides one meal, it is enough for dozens of men to eat.
Pei Ningyuan thought for a while and said, "Girl Qingyao, thank you for your idea of doing something for the village. But after all, there are dozens of mouths. Well, you don't have to deliver it every day, just once every three or four days. Our village needs it." The total space for building the wall is only about twenty meters. It would take more than ten days to complete it at a height of only six meters. It is not enough for a girl like you to go hunting in the mountains every day. You can send some game every few days. Just come over and give them a tooth ceremony.”
Ji Qingyao would not refute the village chief's kindness. She had the ability. Even though the village chief said so, she would still do what she should do. Because everyone was busy, Ji Qingyao did not stay any longer and said goodbye to everyone. Went back to the cave to continue raising seedlings.
When the fourth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, heard that she was going to open up wasteland to work in the afternoon, she immediately muttered: "What's the matter? She has never planted anything herself, and she doesn't know whether it will be successful, so she comes to bring trouble to our family."
Jiang looked over with a sharp look and said, "Fourth daughter-in-law, whether it was the stir-fried vegetables or the roasted ones, I think you enjoyed eating them just now. They are still in your stomach, so what can you say? It’s not a human thing to say, it’s okay if you don’t go to open up wasteland.”
Mrs. Wang was happy when she heard that she could not open up wasteland, but when she heard what Jiang said later, she immediately put away her emotions, "Everyone in our family who participated in opening up wasteland, when the harvest comes, I will make the decision and let you take the seeds back." For the mother's family, the third daughter-in-law also has a share in taking care of the children and cooking at home. As for those who don't want to work, there will be no seeds to take. If you want to get a share of the pie from my mother's hand, you will also want to see if the other houses are willing. Don't think about giving it to them. I'm going to do that whole scene of crying, making trouble, and hanging myself. There's no such thing as a saying in my elder family that you can't divorce your wife. The men of my Pei family don't have to worry about finding a good girl to marry."
After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Mrs. Wang, who was stunned on the spot. The sisters-in-law looked at each other and went back to their rooms to prepare the tools for clearing land. The daughter-in-law of the fourth family usually loves to cheat and play tricks, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law usually turn a blind eye, but since when did this all change?
No matter how the father-in-law and mother-in-law change, they just need to be obedient. If they don't have brains, they will never go wrong by following the footsteps of their mother-in-law and father-in-law. They ate all the food they just ate, and they ate the potatoes and sweet potatoes after they were roasted. It's soft and chewy in the mouth, and it can also satisfy your hunger. It's much more delicious than vegetable dumplings.
After hearing what Jiang said, Wang's face turned pale again. This was the second time in three days that she heard Jiang say that he had divorced his wife. Back then, she deliberately passed by the river where Pei Jiashiro was going home and fell into it on purpose. In the water, she deliberately let the villagers see all this, and she married into the Pei family as she wished.
After marrying Pei Silang, the two of them lived a respectful life. Unlike the other couples, she did not feel the sweetness of the couple.
