Ning Xi had already arranged today's work last night. Lu He and Zhang Ying went to the town to set up a stall. Aunt Yang's eldest son Dalong took everyone to the orchard to pick apricots as a manager. Wang Xiuqin took Aunt Yang and Aunt Zhang and the fifth aunt were making canned apricots at home. Ning Xi had given the recipe to Wang Xiuqin and told her that the step of boiling the sugar water must be completed in the kitchen with the aunts on their backs.
The canned fruits currently sold on the market only contain white sugar or saccharin. Her canned fruits were filled with other ingredients based on the practices of later generations. These things also made the canned fruits she made sweeter. These ingredients must not be spread out. of.
Following family matters, Ning Xi had breakfast and went out at almost 7 o'clock with a homemade apron.
Many people came to the yard of Ning Erlong's house. For such a big event as a wedding, all members of the Ning family were present. He Hua's natal family also came a lot. Villagers from the village who were brothers to Ning Erlong also came.
When Ning Xi came in, Ning Erlong was bragging in front of several cousins of the Ning family. He Hua was also standing chatting with her natal family. Ning Juan's eldest brother Ning Cheng and his wife were also very friendly with acquaintances, and the four of them It was as if he hadn't even seen Ning Xi and had no intention of greeting her.
When you are hosting a banquet at home and looking for someone to come and help you, when someone comes, you should at least greet them happily and thank them!
Ning Erlong and He Hua wanted her to come over to help, but they also wanted to look down on her and look down on her.
Ah! If Ning Xi didn't care about their faces before and would run to find work by herself, Ning Xi wouldn't do such stupid things after being reborn.
They didn't want to pay attention to her. She was too lazy to do anything for others, so she walked to the third grandfather with a smile and said, "Third grandfather."
“Girl Xi, come and sit.” Third Grandpa waved to Ning Xi with a kind face, and then pulled the empty stool next to him for Ning Xi to sit on.
Ning Xi smiled and sat down next to the third grandfather.
The third grandfather patted her hand, "I heard your fifth aunt said that you are setting up a stall to do business?"
“Hmm! I made it together with Brother Nan’s second brother and second sister-in-law.”
"That's good. Xiaohe and his wife are both good people. You won't be afraid of being bullied if you do business with them." The third grandfather nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How are you doing with Xiaonan recently?"
"fine."
“That boy talks little, but he is a nice person, so you should cherish him.”
Ning Xi and Third Grandpa had just chatted for a few words when He Hua came over with an unhappy look on her face, "Ning Xi asked you to come over to help. Why are you still sitting there? Your fifth aunt and the others are busy in the kitchen. Hurry up." Come and help too.”
"Second aunt, you didn't greet me, how do I know what help you need?" Ning Xi glanced at He Hua, whispered to the third grandfather, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Ning Cheng stepped forward and stopped Ning Xi, "Ning Xi, why are you so embarrassed to come here empty-handed?"
Ning Cheng's wife immediately answered, "Ning Xi, it's not me, my sister-in-law, who is talking about you. You are already married. Your sister is getting married, and you don't even have any expression?"
"The red envelope, my man wrapped it for me last night." Ning Xi took out a red envelope from her pocket, "No one greeted me when I walked in. I thought you didn't want to accept the gift!"
Ning Cheng grabbed the red envelope and said, "Why don't you go help quickly? We're waiting for dinner!"
Ning Xi stood still and said, "I'm here to help, not to be your servant." Ning Cheng and his wife were working outside, and they didn't know what earth-shattering things Ning Xi had done recently. He thought she was having a seizure, so he scolded her arrogantly like before, "You little bitch, are you looking for a beating?"
"You can give it a try." Ning Xi shook the apron in her hand and said casually, "If we want to make a fuss, we can make it bigger. I just want to ask Ning Juan why she let Chen Haijun harm me."
"you…"
“That’s enough.” Ning Erlong glared at Ning Cheng with a warning look on his face and looked at Ning Xi with a stern face.
"Ning Xi, the kitchen is really busy. Can I go over and help?" Before Ning Erlong could say anything, He Hua had already stepped forward. It would be unlucky for her daughter to get married today and it would be unlucky to cause trouble.
Ning Xi glanced at several people and walked quickly towards the kitchen. With so many relatives watching, everyone knew who was right and who was wrong. She was still willing to stay because she didn't want others to say bad things about her behind her back. .
The people busy in the kitchen were all aunts from the Ning family. Ning Xi greeted them one by one, rolled up her sleeves, put on her apron and helped wash the vegetables.
The aunts of the Ning family are quite nice to Ning Xi, at least they won't try to suppress her, let alone say some unpleasant words.
“Xiao Xi, do you really want to collect small fish? Your cousin also wants to try.”
When someone asked a question, Ning Xi nodded and said, "I want to collect dried fish. Many aunts in the village already know how to dry dried fish. If my cousin wants to net fish, my aunt or cousin can learn from everyone." How to dry small fish.”
"What kind of small fish are you collecting? The kind of small fish you are selling?" someone asked after hearing the conversation between the two. Many people in the village knew that Ning Xi and Zhang Ying were selling small fish, but now they knew that she wanted to Not many small fish are collected.
"Yes, it's the kind of small fish I sell. You need to dry the fish you come back from the net before selling it to me. It costs 1 cent per catty. I just asked that the dead fish must be picked out and washed before drying. It's clean. I also told my aunt in the village yesterday that I will write the name of the small fish sent to me. Once I find that the small fish sent by someone is broken or not cleaned, I will not accept it again in the future. The little fish at home.”
Ning Xi's purpose of doing this is very simple, to prevent some careless people from not doing things as required.
"Xiao Xi, I was looking for you yesterday. Do you want a lot of small fish? My family makes a living by netting fish. If you want to take it, I will ask my dad to catch some small fish."
Xu Xiaohua is from Linzhen. Linzhen lives by the sea. People there make a living by fishing. Ning Xi had thought about asking fishermen there to help with fishing before. The reason why she didn't do that was to let the village People make some money.
She hadn't planned to tell anyone her thoughts before, but now that Xu Xiaohua asked her, she didn't mind letting the villagers know that she wanted to make some money with everyone. "It's okay, Aunt Hua'er, but Please ask Aunt Hua'er to help keep this matter secret. If the fishermen in the neighboring town bring the fish and sell them to me, I won't need to collect fish from the village. "
Xu Xiaohua immediately understood Ning Xi’s thoughts and said with a smile, “It turned out that I wanted to lead the villagers to make money. I also said why don’t you just go to the nearby town to collect fish? It would be much more convenient to fish there.”
Ning Xi smiled slightly, "Actually, Linzhen is not far away. If you want to make money, you can also make and weave a few fishing nets to catch fish."
When the aunts in the kitchen heard Ning Xi’s words, their eyes lit up, yes! They can go to Linzhen to collect fish, so that dozens of kilograms of small fish will come out in one day!
