Chapter 34 Literal

  Buying books does not count.

  Any book costs two taels of money, and it all depends on selling it. I'm afraid it will cost dozens of taels.

   You know, eggs are only two cents a penny, and meat is only twenty-five cents a catty.

   It is more vivid to build a house in the countryside. One house costs a lot of money. The cost of Chu Heng's study for a year is enough to repair a house for a big family.

  As for the country folks, they don’t build a house once in a generation, and some even share the same house for three generations.

   This is enough to see that scholars spend more money.

  Ye Muyu felt that when she first arrived, she not only had to save money first, but also found ways to increase revenue.

  I looked at the surrounding fields, and I was sure that these fields needed to be turned before planting vegetables, and I was afraid that it would cost a lot of labor.

  Going out for a trip, Ye Muyu learned a little about the family's financial situation, and couldn't help but feel that the original owner was too bad at living, and she had to plan well.

  In the kitchen, Chu Heng had almost chopped the meat.

  Ye Muyu couldn't find ginger, and the original owner didn't remember anything about ginger. She followed the habit of asking when she didn't understand, and asked Chu Heng directly: "Do you know where there is ginger?"

   "Ginger?" Chu Heng asked suspiciously, "What do you want this for?"

Ye Muyu felt that she had to be more thoughtful, so as not to be tricked by this man unknowingly. Considering that **** can keep out the cold, it was discovered and recorded a long time ago, so she said: "It's always raining these two days. It’s raining, I’m worried that the children will get a cold from the wind, so I thought of putting some **** to drive away the cold.”

"According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", **** has health effects such as invigorating the spleen and appetizing, dispelling cold, dispelling dampness, and sweating. The taste of Wuzhiyan **** is excellent, especially "Wuzhiyan Ginger Chicken" Jiangnan famous dish."

   "Ginger can really drive away the cold, and it can also be used in dishes."

   "But I don't have any at home, but my mother has some, and the pharmacy also has them."

  Ye Muyu heard that the man was babbling Wenjue again, and he couldn't help feeling the charm of ancient scholars. He had to think about the source of anything he said, and his memory was much better than that of later generations.

   "So?" Ye Muyu felt that it was not good to go to the old house to get ginger. After all, the family separated, and going to the old house to get things would make the sister-in-law feel uncomfortable.

  She felt that there was no need to offend people because of such a trivial matter.

   "Dr. Lu should have it on the side of the stone bridge. I bought it myself."

  Ye Muyu nodded in satisfaction, and said in a serious manner: "Thanks for your hard work."

  Chu Heng glared at her: "..."

   I was jealous in my heart, knowing that he had worked hard, but I didn't see this woman Ye Shi move.

   Sure enough, hypocrisy, just say it.

  Although he complained in his heart, Chu Heng was not a stingy person, so naturally he really wouldn't let Ye Muyu go, but he just felt that Ye Muyu's reactions were beyond his expectations.

  And he didn't realize it in his heart, he was also influenced by Ye Muyu.

  Chu Heng chopped the meat before leaving.

   Only half a catty of meat was used, and a lot of minced meat came out.

  Ye Muyu seasoned the minced meat first, and then put the shallots last.

   Seeing that Chu Heng didn't come back, she peeled the sweet potatoes first, and planned to eat sweet potato rice in the evening. It was very full, and it was more fuel-efficient than cooking a sweet potato dish alone.

   This time Ye Muyu personally understood why ordinary farmers in the countryside like to eat all kinds of vegetables and rice in the previous life.

  As for the good taste on the farm later, it was slowly extended when the conditions improved.
