The second day after returning home, He Yan went to find a fortune teller, calculated several days, wrote it with red paper, and took it to Zhang Chuntao's side, and asked her to choose one.

Zhang Chuntao looked at it and chose a day that pleased him. Before the beginning of winter after the frost, on the eighth day of the 10th lunar month, it is advisable to marry, pick up, make alliances, and pray for blessings.

The time has been settled, and He Yan and Zhang Chuntao are both busy.

Now it is the cold dew, one of the twenty-four solar terms. After the cold dew, the weather is already a little cold. The mountain goods near the village are almost picked. Except for those who rely on picking mountain goods, they dare to venture deep into the mountains, most farmers almost never enter the mountains.

At this time, we need to level the dry land and prepare to plant wheat.

The cotton planted at home, almost all the cotton boulders were picked at this moment. The remaining cotton poles had dried up and pulled out and placed on the ridge of the field to dry thoroughly to store firewood.

Most of the local people eat cottonseed oil nowadays. At this time, the cottonseed will be sent to the pressing workshop to press the oil. The oil produced is called clean oil. It can not only be eaten, but also treat oral ulcers.

Most locals eat cottonseed oil. Because there is not much land for growing cotton, most of them save money. However, the He family has several acres of dry land. It is said that they used to grow cotton. On the one hand, the cotton planted can subsidize the household use, and on the other hand, they also squeeze more oil and tightly eat Helin.

Later, after He Lin passed the imperial examination, the He family's habit continued. Every year, he was reluctant to eat the oil squeezed by the old man and the old lady of the He family, so he asked him to take most of it to He Lin.

Not to mention that after He Lin gets used to the oil of snacks, he has the best rapeseed oil when he goes out, and he always feels that he can't eat it, and he still likes this bite at home.

In addition to the old man and the old lady of the He family, even Heqiao has to evenly spread half of the cottonseed oil every year to send it.

After the death of the old man and the old lady of the He family, He Qiao still habitually gave cottonseed oil to He Lin. However, there was no complaints at home.

After He Qiao passed away, after He Yan took over, he continued this habit. Now, except for sending a few pieces of wood to the carpenter's house early, they are all busy in the field, pulling out the cotton stalks and drying them. The cotton stalks are easy to ignite and burn. Now they are drying, and it is only useful to hold a banquet on the day of marriage.

Zhang Chuntao took advantage of the sunny weather to add moldy bean paste with various star anise ingredients, chili sauce grinded with red peppers, and a cooled three-leaf can of herbal tea. After mixing evenly, fill it with a clean, oil-free clay pot, and then put it in the sun to expose it.

In fact, it is too late to dry the sauce at this time. Generally speaking, drying the sauce on the dog days is the best, but who has let Zhang Chuntao travel through it and has passed the dog days now?

At worst, the taste is slightly worse. Otherwise, if there is no sauce, it will be difficult to bear in winter and in spring when there is no food in the field.

Looking at the He family, Meng definitely won’t do it. She doesn’t have more hair now, so what should she eat in winter?

There is also an advantage at this time when drying sauce. There are not so many flies and mosquitoes. Only when it is the hottest at noon, there may be a few. Just cover the basin with a clean cloth to cover it.

Zhang Chuntao took the time to pull a few pieces of cloth. It was already cold today, and the clothes she had before could no longer bear at night.

I first made a set of jackets and bought cotton. I helped my honest and clever sister-in-law next door to make two cotton jackets. I also took He Yan's old clothes and made a set of jackets and a cotton jacket robe according to the proportion.

When Zhang Chuntao wanted to ask someone to do things, he said beautifully and did things beautifully.

Not only did he give enough wages, he also gave the children of his sister-in-law's house next door to him. He occasionally made some delicious food and gave some to his sister-in-law's house. The remaining cloth heads were also unnecessary, and he also said he didn't want them.

You should know that these rag heads are also good things. They can be used to sew clothes at home and can also paste the soles of shoes. If you are skillful, you can also use these rag heads to make a small piece of clothes.

Not to mention that my sister-in-law was happy, even my sister-in-law's family also liked Zhang Chuntao's behavior. Anyway, there was nothing at home now. The young and old were rushing to do the work at home, just letting her sister-in-law concentrate on making clothes, so don't delay it.

Therefore, the sister-in-law made it very fine, her hands and feet were neat, and she had finished all the clothes in just half a month.

During this period, Zhang Chuntao was not idle either. She ran to the mountains at any time. She was brave and strong, so she dared to walk into the mountains and gained more than others.

Fortunately, I met the yellow pine mushroom described in the book of the Farmer Girl. She did not have the so-called system. It was purely because of luck, but she picked almost half a pound.

When I returned to the town, I happily found the mountain shop that bought her tea. As soon as I took out the yellow pine mushrooms, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up.

This is a good thing, and it is a rare and rare delicacy. It would be great if you have the luck to pick up two taels.

It is really rare to have half a pound like this, especially Zhang Chuntao is careful. The yellow pine mushrooms are placed separately in a small basket, with pine needles inside and leaves covered with leaves. There is almost nothing broken, and the appearance is very good.

The shopkeeper had also had several dealings with Zhang Chuntao. After the mountain goods began to be collected in autumn, Zhang Chuntao went up the mountain and sold the medicinal materials he picked to the Ma family. The Ma family already knew about her engagement with He Yan. In the future, Zhang Chuntao would be the sister-in-law of her daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law, so the price would naturally be the highest.

Zhang Chuntao was thinking about the love that the shopkeeper bought the three-lid cans, and he only sold them to this store every time.

The shopkeeper of this shopkeeper is also a kind person, and the price he gives is naturally fair. At this moment, he was even more happy to see the yellow pine mushrooms.

He carefully put the scale on the scale. Half a pound was still a little short. The shopkeeper was generous and calculated half a pound directly and gave four or five cents of silver.

Zhang Chuntao remembered that the first time in the farm girl, she went to sell yellow pine mushrooms to shopkeeper Wu, about half a pound. For Song Chongjin, she gave him five taels of silver. After doing so, the shopkeeper was really kind.

There are also other mountain goods, and this time, they sold five taels of silver, and the average merchant household earned at least half a year.

I feel unhappy when I have money in my hands, and I also have the money to sell medicinal materials.

Zhang Chuntao went down to the small valley several times, picked all the mature dogwoods and sold it to the Ma family.

Although the Ma family can't use so much, it can't stand Dr. Ma and his son in the county town, and they open a medicine shop. If this best dogwood is in the county town, the price will not be available.

Dr. Ma accepted these and sorted out all the things that his pharmacy didn't need, so he asked someone to bring a letter to his son in the county town, and then sold them to his son. The three families were all happy.

During this period, He Yan was also busy. Autumn was a good season for hunting in the mountains. Hunters pointed to autumn for a year and had a good harvest.

If He Yan hadn't worked so hard before, but now he was going to marry a wife and enter the house, he would naturally be a hundred times more energetic, so he wanted to buy more prey and exchange it for money to give Zhang Chuntao a good life.
