Chapter 53 Making money is useless if you don’t spend it

  When Mu Xuan saw this wooden barrel as tall as a person, he was pleasantly surprised at first, and then complained a little.

  Their family doesn’t have that much money now, even if they have, they should save it, otherwise this winter may be difficult, and this wooden barrel costs at least two taels of silver.

  With this money, why not do it?

  They just make do with wooden basins for bathing.

   This woman is really not as good as a man, she is really not good at housekeeping, she spends money recklessly.

  If Qiao Yi knew what Mu Xuan was thinking at this time, he would probably hit a wall.

  This wooden barrel is used for a long time, if you don’t buy a better one, should you buy a broken one?

   Only good products can last a long time, right?

   "It's comfortable to take a bath in a big bucket. Buy a better one and it will last longer. Here, this is a pastry I bought for you."

  Qiao Yi took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she bought from the county.

   "Isn't this expensive?"

  Mu Xuan couldn't be happier.

   Unexpectedly, Joey would buy them delicious pastries.

  But when he thought of the price, Mu Xuan felt distressed.

   "It's not expensive, thirty cents a catty. I saw you working hard recently, so I bought some for you. Don't be reluctant to eat it. If you put it away, you will be blind for nothing."

   Qiao Yi understood Mu Xuan's careful thoughts.

  But money is something that cannot be increased only by saving it blindly.

   What is needed is a hard-working heart and practical actions.

   It’s still the same sentence, if you don’t spend money, it’s useless to lose it.

  "You will spend money recklessly. Next time...you don't need to bring me a share next time. Just buy it for them. It's a little bit if you can save it. I don't care if I eat it or not. Thank you."

   Speaking of the last sentence, Mu Xuan's voice was unusually low.

   "Okay, I see."

  Joy said what she said, but didn't take it into her heart, so she turned around and continued to work.

  Today, no one came to work because Wang Chun needed to place an order.

  The whole house is much cleaner.

  Joy put all the chickens into the newly made chicken coop, and then washed his hands to cook.

   She has been busy for so many days, and today she has time, she will make a delicious meal to reward everyone.

   A large strip of pork belly. Qiao Yi directly cut off more than half of it, and then cut it into pieces, ready to make braised pork.

  The remaining meat Qiaoyi is directly chopped into meat fillings, ready to make lion heads (big meatballs, called Sixi meatballs at the wedding banquet.)

  After that, Joey washed a few more potatoes and prepared to make fried potato shreds.

  There is not much rapeseed oil at home, so the French fries can only wait for the next time.

   As for the rice, cook the rice and dry rice directly.

   "My wife, let me cook."

   At this time, Mu Yun, who was almost busy, came over.

   "No, you've been busy for a long time, take a break, I'm fine here."

   "Thank you, wife master."

  Mu Yun did not leave, but thanked softly.

  There was a lot of emotion in this tone, and Qiao Yi didn't want to understand, nor did he want to understand.

   What is the use of understanding? She couldn't answer.

  The brothers of the Mu family have a very good relationship. If Mu Yun was alone, she might be able to respond.

   "It should be, I bought two kinds of pastries, which one is delicious, I will buy it for you next time."

"Um."

   Mu Yun was somewhat disappointed that he didn't get what he wanted.

  Mu Yun didn't understand why Qiao Yi was so polite to them.

   Mu Yun stood beside him, Qiao Yi felt uncomfortable watching.

   It's like a child who did something bad was caught by an adult on the spot.

   "How is the house tidying up?"

  No way, Joey can only find something to say.

   "It's all packed. Start washing those moldy cloths in the afternoon."

  Mu Yun squatted halfway to watch the fire, and said without raising his head.

   "Are your hands okay? Let's raise them for a few days, and it won't be too late to wash them in a few days."

   After peeling shrimps for several days in a row, and then tidying up the house and washing cloths, how can my hands bear it?

   "It's okay. You don't need to rub the cloth with your hands. We beat it with a stick."

  Qiaoyi's concern made Mu Yun feel a little uneasy, and slowly fell silent.

  Perhaps the wife-owner has difficulties, and he is content with them in her heart.

  He waited for the day when his wife would be honest with them.

   "I bought the saponins and some medicinal materials. Put the cloth into the basin and soak the saponin and medicinal materials in hot water. Then it will be easy to wash. Remember to boil the medicinal materials before use."

"Um."

  Although he didn't know why he used herbs to wash a cloth, but Joey said it was easy to wash, so he did it.

   Mu Yun helped to light the fire, and Qiao Yi cooked much faster.

   After a while, the strong fragrance spread far and wide.

   At this time, several people who had finished finishing work also came over.

   "It smells so good, wife, have you stewed the meat yet?"

  Mu Chen took two deep breaths and asked in surprise.

   "That's right, the pork belly and meatballs you made, go and wash your hands, it will be ready soon."

  Joy said with a smile.

  Ever since Mu Chen became cheerful and dared to speak loudly to her, Qiao Yi felt that this Mu Chen was getting cuter and cuter.

  Cute and cute.

  As for why he suddenly changed, Joey didn't care. Who doesn't have a secret?

   After several people washed their hands, Joey brought the food to the table.

   "How much meat did you put in?"

  Mu Xuan looked at the large plate full of meat on the table, and swallowed subconsciously.

  Growing up so big, this is the first time I have seen such a big plate of meat.

   "Just eat, it won't stop you from eating."

   Qiao Yi picked up a large piece of braised pork and put it in Mu Xuan's bowl.

   If the meat wasn't too hot, she would have stuffed it directly into Mu Xuan's mouth.

"Humph."

  Mu Xuan snorted coldly, then lowered his head to eat the meat.

   That vicious look, as if he was eating Joey.

   "Pay attention to the appearance of eating."

  Mu Qing pushed Mu Xuan.

   "It's okay, it's just us, he can eat whatever he wants."

  Lion-head Joey made a total of six, including Xiaoxue, exactly one for each of them.

   "This lion head is delicious, come here, one for each person."

  Qiaoyi picked up a lion's head and was about to put it into Xiaoxue's bowl. Before she could put it in, she saw that Mu Xuan had already added one to Xiaoxue.

  Seeing this, Qiao Yi could only take back the chopsticks speechlessly.

   "It's delicious, it's delicious, the wife's cooking is really delicious."

  Mu Chen praised while eating.

  Growing so big, this is the first time he has eaten meat so happily.

   After a meal, several people really ate their mouths full of oil this time.

   After resting for about half an hour, after the medicinal materials were boiled, several people got busy again.

  Qiaoyi began to break up the cloth, Mu Qing was in charge of sending it out, and Mu Yun and the others were in charge of washing.

  A total of thirty-two pieces of moldy cotton cloth, each three feet long, even if several people wash together, it takes a long time to wash.

  Fortunately, Qiao Yi has a secret recipe, otherwise, there is absolutely no one day that can never finish washing.

  Even so, a few people washed until dark.

  As for drying, Joey dried everything he could. Even the eaves were not spared.

  From a distance, Qiao Yi's house seemed to be holding a funeral.

   After washing the clothes, they were so tired that they didn't want to move. Qiao Yi made pimple soup, and each of them ate two bowls. After a simple cleaning, they all went to bed.

  The next day, Joey was having a sweet dream when he was awakened by a high-pitched voice.
