Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 295 Drama Queen 8

"Yes, yes, yes. Your uncle Jing said there are some at home."

After Qin finished speaking, she picked up An Yue's basket and went to the utility room.

When An Yue heard Qin say there was lime, although she didn't know if it was the kind of lime she wanted, she was already very happy.

She said happily in her heart: "Now that we have lime, we don't have to go to the county town to buy it."

Qin pushed aside a pile of messy sticks and found a jar of lime in an old basket.

Qin picked up a small piece and handed it to An Yue to look at, saying, "I don't usually use this thing, so I put it in the utility room. I don't know if it can still be used."

An Yue took it and looked at it, confirming that it was the quicklime she wanted.

She quickly affirmed: "It's okay, it's okay, this lime looks like it can still be used."

"Girl Yue, how much can you use?" Qin turned her head and asked An Yue who was standing outside.

"Will Auntie need this lime in the near future?"

Qin raised her arm, wiped the sweat from her cheek and said, "I guess it won't be needed for the time being."

"Then can you lend some more to Yueyue? Next time Yueyue goes to town or county, she can buy some and return them to Aunt Yu."

"Okay, okay, take them all! You kid, why are you still not returning them? These things are just sitting there for a while, and since Yueyue can use them, just take them all and use them!"

After Qin finished speaking, she moved the jar of lime out of the utility room and placed the entire jar in Anyue's basket.

An Yue rubbed her palms happily and said with a cute smile: "That's great, thank you, aunt."

An Yue picked up the basket, said a brief goodbye to Qin, and then walked towards her home.

……

On the way home, I met many villagers.

When the villagers saw An Yue, they all took the initiative to greet her.

An Yue just felt a little strange. Although she didn't know why, it felt good to be respected.

After a while, I returned home.

After she put the lime in place, without taking off her hat, she went to the kitchen, got a bowl and put it in the basket, then prepared to go out again.

Ba Shi, who was lying on the side, saw An Yue taking the bowl and basket out of the house, and he followed her quickly.

An Yue saw Ba Shi following her out and quickly scolded him, "Ba Shi, why did you follow me out? It's so hot outside, go home quickly!"

After hearing this, Ba Shi ran in front of Anyue and barked at her twice.

When An Yue saw Ba Shi blocking her way, she stopped, squatted down, and asked softly, "Ba Shi, what do you mean?"

Ba Shi dug at the bowl in the basket with his claws a few times and barked twice.

Seeing Ba Shi looking at the bowl like this, An Yue asked, "Are you hungry?"

Ba Shi pretended not to hear anything and turned his head to look away.

An Yue asked again: "Ba Shi, do you think I am going out to beg for food with the bowl in my hand?"

Bashi quickly wagged his tail and turned around in a circle.

An Yue cursed with a bit of laughter and tears: "Haha, you idiot, you are the one begging for food! Your whole family is begging for food!"

When Bashi heard what An Yue said, his ears instantly stood up and he had a shocked expression.

An Yue playfully pulled its whiskers, and Ba Shi gave An Yue a helpless look.

An Yue stood up with a smile, carrying the basket and continued to go to the back mountain.

An Yue prepared to go to the back mountain to pick some pine and cypress leaves, and then go to the rocky pit to pick half a bowl of peppercorns to take home.

As she walked, she muttered, "I wonder if the peppercorns have been destroyed by the locusts."

The man and the dog soon reached the back slope.

An Yue could see from afar that on the high slope of the rocky beach there stood several pine and cypress trees, which were always lush and green.

After a while, she and Ba Shi came to the rocky beach and picked some pine and cypress branches and put them into the basket.

Then she walked towards the rock pit.

When she saw the peppercorns deep in the stone pit, she was overjoyed.

It turned out that the peppercorns were not destroyed by the locusts. An Yue muttered, "It seems that locusts don't eat everything."

After a careful look, I found that the peppercorns are not yet ripe, they are just small grains, and the smell is not as strong as that of ripe peppercorns.

She thought, she wouldn't need much anyway, so she picked some and took it back first.

After a while, I picked half a bowl and prepared to go home.

An Yue was carrying a basket full of goods and humming a little tune along the way.

But Ba Shi wanted to tease An Yue and play with him all the way, but he found that An Yue ignored him.

So, it hid in a mysterious way, trying to scare An Yue.

Seeing that An Yue still ignored it, it ran in front of An Yue, dripping dog urine as it walked.

Now the grass tips on the path are all covered with dog urine.

An Yue was walking behind, her skirt was stained with dog urine. An Yue was so angry that she chased the dog home, cursing all the way.

After a while, An Yue was seen picking up Bashi's two hind legs and carrying him directly to the yard before letting go.

An Yue said unhappily, "You stinky bashi, you are a bad person, just wait to go hungry today!"

Ba Shi ran to the eaves, lay there with a look of grievance on his face, whimpering and sobbing.

An Yue squatted in the yard, sorted out the pine and cypress branches and leaves and the peppercorns, and took them to the kitchen and placed them on the stove.

He went to the room to change into clean clothes, and took a bundle of rice straw from under the straw mat. He put it in the yard and lit it with a fire tinder.

After the rice straw was burned, the whole yard was filled with thick smoke.

Meng Xiu'er and Chunzhi, who were selecting cocooning silkworms in the ear room, hurried out to find out what was going on.

The two hurried to the yard and found that it was An Yue who was burning rice straw.

Chunzhi was still in shock and said, "We thought it was on fire! It turned out that the young lady lit it, but we were scared."

An Yue smiled and said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you in advance."

Bashi watched the yard catch fire. He crawled on the ground and barked at the fire.

Chunzhi slowly recovered and looked at Anyue's actions. She asked curiously, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

An Yue smiled and said, "We have too many duck eggs at home, and they are afraid of getting smelly if they are stored for a long time, so I thought of making some preserved eggs."

Meng Xiuer walked up to An Yue and asked in confusion, "What are Songhua eggs?"

An Yue scratched her forehead and rolled her eyes, not knowing how to explain it to them.

So, she pointed to the rice straw ash on the ground and said, "Use this rice straw ash, mixed with other ingredients, to wrap the duck eggs. After leaving them for a period of time, they can be eaten."

Meng Xiuer smiled faintly and said, "I really don't understand this, but if Yueyue needs our help, just call us."

An Yue responded: "Yeah, okay."

Afterwards, Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer returned to the west wing room and continued to select silkworms to make cocoons.

An Yue gently poked the burning rice stalks with a wooden stick to ensure they were fully burned to ashes.

The fire gradually died down, and after it cooled down, An Yue gathered the ashes together.
