304, purgatory on earth
"After three days, which group has the most money left, which group can get a good one!" said Ma Ma.
No wonder we were divided into groups. It turned out to be based on groups. Is the leader of the mountain trying to test everyone's team spirit? Xiaoxiao didn't think too much, so he walked into the kitchen with everyone.
There is indeed no place to build a wing room in this house. The so-called wing room is occupied by the kitchen and wood.
Aunt Gui's kitchen is not small and it is cleaned up very well. Even the greasy stove on weekdays was cleaned. Ruicai focused on looking around the stove: "Yes, this family has two stoves, which makes it much more convenient to cook." He looked at the two big pots on the stove, and the cooking and boiling pots were separated, and then nodded again.
Xiaoxiao saw a lot of vegetables piled up with five or six large white radish, three large pumpkins, a small pile of lentils, and a handful of vegetables. I remember that there were braids of garlic and a bunch of red peppers in front of the kitchen door, which was quite complete.
Xiaoxiao lifted the lid of the oil tank again, and saw that it was full of oil. After smelling it, it was fresh soybean oil. He also saw that there were two large bags of rice and white flour in the corner of the house. He thought that these things were enough for six people to eat for more than half a month.
Aunt Gui around her curled her lips: "I have never seen such a fine white face in my life. You are not suffering. You are clearly here to enjoy your happiness!"
"Well, I'm here to enjoy my happiness." Ni Jie replied.
Xiaoxiao asked Ma Ma: "Does every group get these things?"
"It's the same if you don't go against it." Ma Ma nodded and pointed to the firewood piled by the door: "These firewood and the water in the big water tank will be delivered to you at will. If you want anything else, you have to rely on yourself."
Xizi's face was not very good since he entered the kitchen, and he was even more surprised and said, "Do you still have to make a fire and cook yourself?"
"Let me make a fire, I'll have five pens at a time!" Aunt Gui hurriedly slapped five fingers to gesture at Xizi. She was inexplicably disliked this little girl, maybe she was too eye-catching.
"Do we have to steam the dry food by ourselves? The snacks I bring are enough for two meals." Youqing looked at the firewood and the stove, and was in trouble. "Aunt Gui, aren't there anyone selling dry food in our village?"
"Yes, there are people selling white flour buns, one penny!" Aunt Gui pointed outside, "It sounded like no, the sound of knocking the clapper was like the one selling steamed buns walking over."
The few of them were already tired at this moment. From early morning to noon, they almost spent on the carriage. They wandered around for more than two hours, saying that they were not hungry, after all, they filled their stomachs with snacks on the carriage.
Ni Jie said: "For lunch, I will just make do with some snacks I bring myself, and we will make a fire to cook in the evening."
Everyone wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep at this moment.
Xiaoxiao stopped everyone, "I have two things to tell everyone."
"What's the matter?" Ni Jie stopped.
"Since it is based on groups, we are all together. According to my opinion, all our resources should be shared."
"Yingyuan means to put our things together?" Youqing asked first.
"I don't have to put it all in one place. I mean the thirty cents. We should discuss and use it together. After all, the final result is not considered individual, but our team." Xiaoxiao looked at everyone.
Ruicai was the first to agree: "I agree!"
Xizi also hurriedly said, "If I don't follow you, I might die here, so I will naturally listen to everyone."
Ni Jie also nodded: "What Yingyuan said makes sense. We will discuss a lot of things in the future." As he said that, he looked at the window of the east room, "I will tell her when that person wakes up."
Youqing also nodded: "Of course I am willing to follow everyone."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Xiaoxiao expressed his second thought: "Although everyone's snacks are enough to eat until the evening, I still recommend buying some steamed buns now. First of all, the weather is getting colder, and it will not be a problem to put the steamed buns for two or three days. Again, if we female students live here, those who sell steamed buns will probably start the price."
After hearing this, Ruicai nodded and said, "Others should be the same as ours. Don't buy it for the time being. Those who sell steamed buns naturally don't think of these. Tomorrow, everyone will probably increase the price! We might as well buy more while it's cheap. Even if the steamed buns are dried, we can cook dry steamed buns, fried buns or fried buns with chopped green onions, and it will be good to eat them."
When everyone heard this, they swallowed their saliva and asked Ruicai with a smile: "You are still skilled in fire making skills, so don't be miserable if you can't get it."
"Don't worry, the stove here is similar to those in our Handanzhou. I just went to the woodshed to take a look. Even the loom is similar to those in ours!" Ruicai said with a smile.
After hearing Ruicai's words, everyone felt more relieved.
Because I was so tired, no one had the appetite to eat after buying the steamed buns. It was hot at noon today, so everyone just scrubbed them with cold water and went to bed to rest.
In the end, Xiaoxiao was woken up by a mosquito bite. She sat up and looked at it. Sure enough, two red bags were bitten on her ankle.
Nijie has already gotten up and beat mosquitoes: "The mosquitoes here are better than those in Kyoto, and they are bigger. If you beat them to death, they will be full of blood!"
Dan Tai Furong also sat against the wall, grabbing her legs angrily: "Aren't we lit the mosquito repellent? Why don't we care about anything!"
After a while, Xizi and Ruicai were also bitten one after another, leaving only the Youqing sleeping soundly.
Ruicai said: "Why don't we apply some garlic juice on our body, which can also repel mosquitoes."
"No, no, that's going to be stink!" Dan Tai Furong scratched her for a while and felt itchy. She rolled up her pants and saw that it was a red bump that was scratched, with blood beads emitting on it. "Can you go back early? We are going to hell!! It's simply hell on earth!!!"
Everyone hurriedly winked at her. If the mistress of the house, Aunt Gui, heard it, the good neighbor would be unable to do it. Many things would be troubled in the future.
Ni Jie's voice was quite calm: "Have your veil washed?"
Dan Tai Furong looked embarrassed: "It's too expensive to spend five cents to wash clothes. I'll smoke it with a sachet first and wrap it in my bag."
"If you want, we will put all the money together. Let's do things together and eat and drink together these days." Ni Jie said.
"It doesn't matter if you put money together, but the things that help the scholars do..." Dan Tai Furong was not only stingy with money, but also with strength.
"For example, let's cook together, clean up the house and yard together, and wash clothes together."
The more Dan Tai Furong heard the brows, the tighter she frowned, and her whole face was almost wrinkled: "What if I don't know?"
"I can't learn it. Most people here don't know how to cook, but I can learn it. If anyone is lazy and slick, they will be expelled from the group." Ni Jie's tone was slightly cold.
"Okay..." Dan Tai Furong naturally didn't want to be alone, "Then let's wash clothes in the afternoon."
When Youqing heard the sound of talking, she also rubbed her eyes and woke up.
"Since everyone is awake, I will just divide into groups. If there are any small tasks in the future, we will do them in groups." Ni Jie said.
Everyone agreed and listened to the aid of the school, "Rui Cai and Xizi are in the same group, Yingyuan and Youqing are in the same group, and I and Hehua are in the same group."
Hehua is the word "Dan Tai Furong". After hearing this, she also agreed to help students in this grouping.
Others had no objection.
Xiaoxiao also thinks that this kind of grouping is very scientific. Relatively speaking, he and Ruicai Nijie are both people with strong mobility, while the other three are relatively weak. It is also balanced to divide one strong and the other weak into one group.
Nijie always put everyone's money together: "In this way, we have 180 cents, spend 20 cents at noon, buy 22 buns, and there are 160 cents left. Although the money is small, this is also our entire wealth in the past three days. We should have set up an account book to make it clear at a glance." If we buy more, the more those who sell 22 buns will be sold, and it will be 22.
Xiaoxiao took out his daily notebook from the bag and said, "Anyway, there are not many flowers, so just use this notebook to record it!"
"Okay, I'll take care of the cash currency, and Yingyuan is responsible for the accounting." Ni Jie said.
Everyone nodded, and Dan Tai Furong got up and got off the kang: "Who went to the toilet? I haven't used the toilet yet."
When talking about the toilet, everyone was silent for a while and said they would not go.
Dan Tai Furong stepped on her shoes and her hair was out of the house in messy way.
"Student assistance, what will we do next? We must first boil a pot of boiling water to drink. Although the well water here is very sweet, it cannot be drunk raw water, so it will cause diarrhea." Ruicai said.
"You go and Xizi to boil water later," Niji nodded. "I just got to know Aunt Gui. This village has gatherings on March 8, and the nearby villages also have gatherings every five days, either on February 7 or 49. After all, except for the day when the incense is burned on the first and fifteenth day of the day, there are markets in the entire town every day."
Xiaoxiao heard this and asked, "Tomorrow is twenty-two. I wonder which village will go to the market? Now we urgently need to buy them, both window screens and large wooden tubs for bathing."
Several people nodded like chicken pecking at rice. These two things are really needed! Xizi added another sentence: "Look at whether there are any mosquito repellent coils on the market that are effective. They will bite people to death at noon. How can they sleep at night?"
Ruicai also said: "Even if we can't buy mosquito repellent coils, we should hang a large mosquito net!"
Everyone was talking, and suddenly heard a pig-killing scream outside. Several people hurried out to see, but saw Dan Tai Furong running back with her hair disheveled, and a fairy-like silk danced like a colorful cloud.
"Maggot" Dan Tai Furong stomped her feet with tears on her face, "I broke two! And the big mung bean fly! It kept spinning around me! One foot is as big as a domestic bird!!"
Ni Jie frowned: "Nonsense, where are there such big flies?"
"It's so big! It's still whispering!" Dan Tai Furong rubbed the soles of her shoes on the ground hard, "There are ten thousand big fat maggots in the pit!!!" That "maggot" almost tear apart his throat.
Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Today we will go to the market, we have to buy some anti-worm powder, especially to see if there are any maggots to cure! I will write it down in a small notebook later, and there are too many things to buy."
Zhi Ruicai asked curiously: "Hehua, why are you wearing a shawl when you go to the toilet?"
"I think it smells bad! I use a silk cloth to cover my nose!" Dan Tai Furong cried again, "Hell on earth!!"
"You might as well call it the purgatory of the earth." Xiaoxiao said on the side.
