Chapter 34 - Kitchen, old hen (PK plus more)
“You~” The girl in the white shirt was annoyed, her face flushed! She didn’t expect the woman in front of her to be so sharp and sharp! She just said a word.
“Okay, Fangfang, don’t be angry~!” The girl in blue quickly pulled Liu Fangfang to comfort her.
“If it’s all right, let’s go first!” Jing Qingxin ignored it completely, and after speaking lightly, she bypassed the two of them and continued to walk forward.
Li Xiaomei watched Jing Qingxin go forward, and quickly nodded to Liu Fangfang and the two of them, and immediately went forward to catch up with Jing Qingxin!
Liu Fangfang looked at the backs of the two who were leaving, her face gloomy: “Hmph~ what’s so amazing! Isn’t it just the clothes that look good, what are you proud of~”
“Okay, Fangfang, we can’t cause trouble now, ignore them, let’s go!” The girl in blue took Liu Fangfang to the village entrance.

Li Xiaomei walked up to Jing Qingxin a few steps, looked at the other party’s expression with a relaxed and relaxed expression, as if nothing was wrong, and couldn’t help but say: “The two are educated youths from our village, the one in the white shirt is called Liu Fangfang, I heard that her family In the county seat, the family’s conditions are very good, and the other is Zhang Yun, who is also from the county seat, and the two have a good relationship.”
“Oh.” Jing Qing didn’t take them to heart, and she didn’t need to care about those she didn’t like.
Soon the two of them arrived at the small courtyard where Gao Shen lived. Jing Qingxin walked in the front, pushed open the door, and said loudly, “Gao Shen~ I’m back!”
Gao Shen sat on the edge of the bed, and through the door frame, he saw Jing Qingxin and Li Xiaomei with their hands full of things, and both of them were covered in sweat. Now in early April, the weather is gradually warming up. Walking back all the way, holding things is indeed the same. A hard work.
Jing Qingxin took Li Xiaomei to put the things on the table in the main room first, waited for the kitchen to be cleaned up, and then placed them and put the things away. Jing Qingxin hurriedly poured water and handed it to Li Xiaomei.
“Xiaomei, you go back and ask Aunt Li first, I’ll clean up the kitchen first.” Jing Qing said in a heartfelt arrangement.
“Well, okay, then I’ll come back to help you clean up later.” Li Xiaomei replied immediately after drinking the water.
After sending Li Xiaomei away, Jing Qingxin wiped her face with a wet towel, and instantly felt refreshed. She walked inside and said, “I just bought some items in the kitchen, and I’m going to buy an old hen to stew at Aunt Li’s house later. Tang, the commune’s things are not complete, I’m going to take Xiaomei to go shopping in the town tomorrow.”
“Well, that’s what you arranged! It’s just that you should pay more attention to safety when you go out. There are many people in the town, so let Dahu accompany you tomorrow!” Gao Shen said worriedly.
“It’s alright, how can I delay Dahu’s work? It’s enough to have Xiaomei with me. We’ll go to the supply and marketing agency to see, and we won’t go anywhere else.” Jing Qing said heartily.
“Can…”
“Alright! I’m going to clean up the kitchen first.” After speaking, Jing Qingxin turned around and went to work.
“You take a break first!” Gao Shen raised his voice to discourage, but Jing Qing’s heart was too fast and went out in a blink of an eye.
Jing Qingxin came to the grass shed kitchen built next to it. This small kitchen is easy to tidy up. It only has a soil stove, a wall cabinet, and a large water tank at the door. The rest can be empty.
Jing Qingxin carefully wiped clean the wall cabinet and the stovetop of the earthen stove with a towel. It may have been useless for a long time, and the layers of dust had to be wiped three times before Jing Qingxin was satisfied!
Afterwards, Jing Qingxin sorted the purchased items into categories. The entire wall cabinet had three floors. Jing Qingxin placed the tableware and chopsticks on the second floor. She didn’t find any plates or the like, so she had to buy a few bowls. Two vegetable iron pots.
Then put all kinds of seasoning bags one by one on the bottom layer. It is really inconvenient to have no seasoning box. Put the kitchen knife and vegetable oil next to it. This kitchen knife is also heavy enough.
At this time, Jing Qingxin realized that there was only a kitchen knife, but what about the cutting board? It seemed that she didn’t see any kitchen utensils such as cutting boards at the commune, so she would only ask when Xiaomei came over.
Jing Qingxin stood in the kitchen, which was called the stove by the villagers, with a contemplative expression on her face, her eyes swept around, she was thinking about what was missing in the kitchen.
Her eyes stayed on the stove. She had seen this kind of stove made of mud and mud when she was a child in the countryside where her grandmother lived. It seemed that there was no firewood, and there was no match. Now she doesn’t expect a lighter, a rare thing. Now, it is estimated that even urban people use it less.
“Sister Jing, my mother is back.” Li Xiaomei said cheerfully.
“Okay, I’ll come with you.” Jing Qingxin cleaned her hands, and after a little tidying up, she followed Li Xiaomei to Li’s house.
Walking into the small courtyard, she saw that Aunt Li was busy catching old hens in the chicken coop. Jing Qing looked at it casually. It seems a little narrow.
“Xiaojing, I heard Xiaomei say, do you want to cook by yourself?” Mother Li asked.
“Well, yes, Gao Shen needs to supplement many kinds of nutrients, so I want to get it alone,” Jing Qing explained.
Mother Li looked a little embarrassed, and said slowly: “Xiaojing, our family’s conditions are like this, and Aunt Li doesn’t want to shirk you. I’ll charge you two yuan for this old hen, do you think?”
“Aunt Li, this chicken should be as much as you want! Originally, you chickens were meant to be exchanged for money. If I buy them and you will suffer a loss, then I might as well not buy them. Besides, if I buy them elsewhere, I’d better buy them. It’s going to cost money.” Jing Qing said with a smile, not to mention that the conditions of the Li family were not very good, how could she take advantage of it.
Jing Qingxin glanced at it, the old hen in Aunt Li’s hand was not very strong, it was about four or five pounds. She didn’t know what the price of the old hen was now. Based on the approximate price of buying things today, According to the high point of six cents a pound, the old hen in front of you probably needs three dollars!
Thinking of this, Jing Qingxin took out three dollars from her trouser pocket and handed it to Aunt Li’s free hand. She smiled and said, “Aunt Li, I don’t know the exact price of the hen, but it’s three dollars.”
“Oh~ I don’t want so much, really~ get it back!” Mother Li hurriedly pushed back the money in her hand, holding the hen in her right hand, her hands were really busy.
“Aunt Li, keep it! This old hen is still so big after all.” Jing Qingxin stepped back and refused to accept it, persuading her.
“But it can’t be that much, at most it’s a little more than two.” Mother Li showed a hint of embarrassment. Even if she took her to the town to sell it, such an old hen that didn’t lay eggs would be at most four or five cents a pound.
“Take it first, Aunt Li, I haven’t finished yet, I have other needs.” Jing Qing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mother Li became a little more comfortable and relaxed, and said bluntly: “Oh, you say it! We will try our best to do it for you.”
“I still need some firewood, and I may have to trouble Big Tiger to help me fill the tank with water.” Although she could directly use the stream water in the space, after all, the depth is still there, and it is impossible to fill a tank of water. , can’t just get in?
Having said that, Jing Qing felt that the daily necessities he needed were far from enough. The current living environment couldn’t be more rudimentary, but he could only clean up the kitchen first and buy it slowly! Let’s get to it tonight, go to town tomorrow and see!
