The bean sprouts have a growth cycle, and I don’t know how much they can be sold in a day. So the negotiation result is to soak the beans every three days, so that they can basically be sold without overstocking too much. Chen and Xue’s soak the beans, Jinghan and Wenxuan and Wenchang helped to pick the beans together, so that Chen and Xue’s can also be easier.

Since the beans soaked for the second time, Xue would take a sled to the town to sell bean sprouts every day, which could be sold for about 30 kilograms a day, which is about 100 cents. In this way, the beans soaked every three days, and they could be just enough to get out. Jinghan only followed him to the town for a few days, but later he stopped going. He helped pick beans, feed pigs, cook, etc. at home, and Chen would filter bean sprouts, wash bean sprouts, etc. When the soybean sprouts were washed, some bean sprouts would be mixed into the bean skin, so they had to be picked out again, otherwise it would be a pity to throw them away. Jinghan would pour the remaining bean sprouts into the pig's pot and feed the pigs together. The pigs were eaten very delicious.

The Xu family only made six or seven hundred kilograms of beans this year. They originally wanted to sell some oil and eat them at home, so they kept the bean cakes for feeding animals. Now the bean sprouts are easier to sell, so Chen decided to keep the raw bean sprouts. Anyway, the broken bean beans that were picked can be made into oil and replaced with tofu, so they kept some seeds, and the rest were all used for raw bean sprouts. Naturally, the money for the raw bean sprouts was handed over to Chen. Xue didn't care about these things. Anyway, she often bought some delicious food at home, and Chen agreed, wasn't it just to make money for some good food?

In a blink of an eye, October was over, and Zhixin no longer went to pick up firewood every day. The two piles of firewood that were already very tall at home. Zhixin and the old man worked very well. Every day when they pulled the firewood back, they would cut it out with a saw and cut it into a foot and a half length outside, and then split it with an axe to split it into a petal. This is called a big slaughter. Big slaughter must be stacked up and stacked into tall piles. The farmhouses can see who is diligent or not, and sometimes they can tell when they look at the firewood pile. Some families will have many big slaughter piles, and some families will wish they will burn today and there will be no tomorrow.

Since the firewood is almost done, Zhixin is idle and goes to the mountains to hunt. He doesn't get it every day. Many people in this village go hunting at this time, so when they are lucky ones, they can hunt something back. It's just hares, pheasants, etc., and sometimes they can encounter roe deer. This roe deer is also called silly roe deer. It is said that when you see a roe deer, you have to shout behind it, "Roe deer." The roe deer will look back at you. In this way, you can shoot with an arrow and you can shoot it.

On this day, Zhixin actually came back with two badgers. This thing is rare. Chen was very happy when he saw it. "Oh, this is a good thing. The badger skin is a good time, and the hair is dense and shiny. Zhixin, you peel the badger skin and send it to a place with cooked skin. I think it will be kept for Huixin as a dowry. With these two skins, we will have a face for us." At this time, a badger skin should be sold for five to eight taels of silver. Two skins are really good to put in the dowry.

Huixin listened on the side and said no. "Mom, no need, I'd better sell it. I don't need this thing, I can add some money to my family. This has also spent a lot of money on my marriage. How can we have a dowry family in our village family?"

Xue heard it aside and smiled, "Hui Xin, don't worry, you can hold it. Your elder brother may be able to fight again one day. Besides, we are the only girl like you in our family, so we must let you marry out in a grand manner."

When Huixin heard this, tears were about to fall back. "For my marriage, my family is really exhausted. I have been in poor health over the years and have been burdened with my family a lot. Now I am getting married, and it is still the same. Sister-in-law, why should I repay the love between you and your elder brother in the future?"

Xue quickly helped Huixin wipe her tears, "Silly girl, why are you crying? When I came to the Xu family, you were only three or four years old. At that time, I carried you and hugged you all day long. Although you are not my child, I will kiss you even more than Wenhan and the others. Now that you are getting married, your elder brother and I have no ability. It's okay to add two dowry to you. Don't worry, if your elder brother can still catch prey these days, as long as you have good skin, you will leave it all for you."

Chen listened to Xue's words and couldn't help but nodded secretly. This is the eldest daughter-in-law. If she had changed to Wei or Han, she wouldn't have given such a good thing to Huixin. "Okay, your sister-in-law don't have to push you here. Jingya is ten years old, and she should be married in a few years. Then Huixin will have more. We are all a family, so what are the heretics doing?"

Zhixin didn't care what their women said, so he quickly carried two badgers outside and peeled them, then turned them over and nailed them to the wooden board, waiting for the skin to dry, and then took them to cook them. The badger meat was also left behind. The badger meat was a good thing, delicious and had excellent nourishing effect. Chen wanted Xue to make something for everyone, but Xue didn't do it. The meat of these two badgers could be sold in a restaurant and could be sold for several taels of silver. They were almost exchanged for a pig, so how could they bear to eat it like this?

When Wenhan and Wencheng came back from the school, they were very envious when they saw the two silks. The boys liked the most was martial arts and hunting, and they asked around Zhixin about this and that.

When winter comes, northerners only eat two meals a day, so it's time to have dinner at this time. Xue asked the children to wash their hands quickly and prepare for dinner. After dinner, Wenhan and Wencheng Zhuang Wenxuan and Wenchang learned to read together, so Jinghan naturally joined in the fun. She knew how to read, but she had to have a legitimate excuse to explain how she knew the words, right? In this way, no one should say anything.

I don’t know what happened next. Zhixin entered the mountain and could really encounter some good things. One day he got a raccoon dog, and another time he actually hunted two sables. Everyone in the family said that this might be Huixin’s blessing. He heard that he wanted to keep her as a dowry and could get any good things. Xue left all the fur for Huixin as a dowry without saying a word. You must know that even if you don’t use these things yourself, you can sell them dozens of taels of silver. Chen naturally did not object. Huixin’s opposition was ineffective. As a result, Zhixin got all the craftsmen with mature skins and all of them were familiar.

Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the twelfth lunar month began. Xue stopped selling bean sprouts in the town. At this time, the bean sprouts were very easy to freeze and were difficult to sell. Besides, the family was very busy, and the bedding had not been made in Huixin's dowry. On that day, Xue and Chen went to the town to buy a lot of cotton, as well as quilts in the quilts, and then they found a few helpers in the village to help make the quilts together.

Chen was preparing to send four beds and four covers to accompany him. The quilt and mattress were all prepared long ago, and they were all made of patterns such as dragon and phoenixes, qilins, and 100-child pictures, which looked very festive. While everyone was making it, they praised the material for its goodness and the embroidery was exquisite, which was very rare. Chen was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. "This material was saved in the past, and the patterns were embroidered by Huixin himself. These things took her a lot of effort."

Of course, these beddings cannot be finished in a day. When someone asks for help, they always keep them here for dinner. So Xue led Jingya and Jinghan to cook for everyone. Xue's craftsmanship is good, and she is willing to spend time on cooking. When everyone eats, they all say that the meal is good. These helpers also compare each other's meals. Which one cooks good, has good dishes and many meat dishes, is the standard. Sometimes, if someone serves the helper, it will be very difficult to invite someone in the future. The Xu family has always been willing to work hard on this, so when the village heard that the Xu family asked for help, they were very willing to come.

It took me three days to complete the bedding. Xue and Chen were relieved.

Next, it was time to kill the pig. In the next two months, not only were acorns but also bean sprouts, so the pig grew very fast, about 200 kilograms. The butchers in the town had already come to the village to catch pigs. The price of ginseng in the Xu family sold ginseng this year, and the beans were sold with bean sprouts, which was much higher than before. So Chen said that this year, he would sell one pig and keep the other one for home eating, and he would have to take a walk with favors. Jinghan and the others were very happy to hear that, so they could eat meat openly.

The butcher Zhang from the town came to capture the bigger pig, weighing 220 kilograms in one soak, which made Zhang very happy. "Oh, aunt, your pig is fat enough. I have also caught a lot of pigs this year, and this one is the first serving of your pork. This is delicious." During the Chinese New Year, pork was not too expensive, so the pig was only twenty cents per kilogram. Zhang took out four taels of silver and four strings of copper coins to give it to Chen. "Aunt, your pig is not small. I think it's better to kill half of it and keep half of it, and sell the rest to me." He really looked forward to the two pigs from the Xu family.

"No, I'll keep more this year. There are two sons who are going to come back for the New Year. In addition, my daughter gets married after the New Year, so she has to keep more meat. Relatives and friends come to the door and make some good dishes, right?" Chen did not agree, and smiled and collected the money, and then said politely.

Butcher Zhang had no choice but to go out and drove a ox cart to pull the tied pig back to the town.
