Fields of Gold

Chapter 115: selling vegetables

Views:

The delicate and beautiful spring sun has jumped out from the place where the water and the sky meet, and thousands of red clouds are overflowing, blending with the slowly rising morning mist on the mountain, changing the colorful halo.

Today is a rare sunny day, the sun is warm, it stretches out its big warm hands, and caresses people comfortably. It's only been five days, and Yu Hang already feels that his injury is almost healed, only the broken ribs in his chest, and he occasionally feels sore.

Seeing the young girl busy in the yard from the window, he slowly sat up from the kang, carefully leaning on the wall, and slowly walked out the door while pulling on his shoes.

Yu Xiaocao was in the vegetable garden in the courtyard, removing the grass thatch used to keep warm in the vegetable field, revealing green and tender vegetable seedlings. The seven or eight vegetable fields in the yard are all green leafy vegetables with a relatively short growth period, and Lingshi water has a certain effect on promoting the growth of plants. In half a month, the green vegetables, spinach and lettuce have already grown. When it comes to the picking period, it looks emerald green in the spring sun.

"Brother, the injury is still not healed, why did you come out?" Yu Xiaocao was the first to notice the movement inside the main room door, wiped her hands hurriedly, walked over quickly, and helped her brother across the threshold.

She found a place in the courtyard where the sun could shine, took a recliner that her father made in his free time, and laid a thick mattress on it before letting her brother lie on it.

Yu Hang watched the little girl moving chairs and looking for quilts in the house, busy like a happy bee, and couldn't help but put on a guilty smile on his face: "Little sister, you can do your work! My brother I can't help you much, and I'll add to your confusion..."

"Brother! The most important thing for you now is to heal your injury. When you recover from your injury, are you afraid that you won't be able to help? You see, the vegetables in our vegetable garden are ready to be sold. The business on the pier cannot be delayed! You We must cooperate well with the recuperation, so as not to fall to the root of the disease!"

Yu Hang looked at the vibrant vegetables in the courtyard, and the boredom in his heart seemed to be dispelled by the greenery. He smiled and sighed: "Little sister, your method is really good! At this time, other people's vegetable seeds have just landed, and our vegetables can already be sold! If this is brought to the town, those old ladies I don't know how rare it is!"

These days, there is no such advanced technology as greenhouse farming. In addition to those who have hot springs, the dignitaries in Beijing can also eat fresh vegetables in winter. For people like Tanggu Town, where there are no geothermal resources around, it is really difficult to eat vegetables in winter and early spring!

Yu Xiaocao covered his legs with a quilt and started harvesting vegetables. She carefully shoveled off the green vegetables one by one, and asked Liu Shi, who had cleaned up the kitchen, to help wash them with water, dry them and put them to bed, and then stacked them neatly in bamboo baskets layer by layer. The small green vegetables with water droplets are so juicy that the grass that has gnawed on the radish and cabbage all winter can't help swallowing.

"Mother, let's eat hot pot in the evening?" Buy a piece of pork bone to stew thick soup, and then buy a few pieces of soft tofu. There are home-grown bean sprouts in the tank, and there are a few big fish in the tank. Plus fresh and tender vegetables... oh, I can't think about it anymore, or my mouth will be watering!

"Hot pot?" Liu Shi and the eldest son looked at each other, knowing that the little girl was trying to find a new way to eat. However, the family's only green vegetables will definitely sell for a good price, and Liu Shi is a little bit reluctant.

Xiaocao saw what Mother was thinking, and explained: "Mother, why do we make money by making braised vegetables from dawn to dusk? Isn't it just to live a good life? If you don't want to spend all the money you make, then it's not an eye for money. Are you in?"

"You child, who are you talking about money?" Mrs. Liu gave Xiaocao a reproachful look. However, what her daughter said made Liu's heart suddenly open. My daughter is right, isn’t making money just for the family to eat well, wear warm clothes, and get out of hard times? What's the point of making money if they can't even bear to feed their own vegetables

The mother and daughter chattered about homework, but the work in their hands did not drop at all. Not long after, several bamboo baskets were filled with vegetables.

At this moment, Yu Hai came from the backyard with a full fish basket in his hand. He smiled and said, "The pond in our backyard is not big, but there are quite a lot of fish! We've been catching them for half a month, and we haven't seen any fish at all." Little. Cao’er, what did you put in this bait, those big and small fish are all scrambling for it, it’s all gratifying to see!”

"Put the fish down quickly! You and Cao'er go to the town. There are so many vegetables, how can she handle it all by herself? Fortunately, Xiao Lian went to the pier in the morning and took the ox cart from the next village. How about the two of you?" It’s inconvenient in the town!” Mrs. Liu helped load baskets of vegetables onto the donkey cart.

The donkey who was named Xiao Hui has long since recovered. It has been nourished by Lingshi water to make it smooth and smooth. It is very energetic.

People who have seen Yu Hai's donkey all boasted that it has aura. There is no need for people to drive the cart. I walked along the road obediently, and knew to avoid the potholes. I don't know how much effort it takes!

They have a good relationship with Yu Hai, and they all know that the donkey was half dead when it was first bought. They all praised Yu Hai as a good animal breeder, and being able to turn the animals that were dying of illness into their current fat and strong appearance, isn't that the best proof

Later, because of this, some sheep, pigs, etc. were sick in some people's house, so they dragged Yu Hai to have a look. Fortunately, Yu Xiaocao, the magic weapon of cheating, was there, and the diseases of those pigs and sheep were cured.

I'm depreesed! Since Dr. You came back, no one has asked Xiaocao to see a doctor! Although Dr. You has repeatedly claimed that Yu Xiaocao, the named apprentice, is already young, but she is too young after all. As the saying goes, "with no hair on her mouth, she can't do things well", so the gray-bearded Dr. You's appearance is more convincing.

After rescuing a few animals, Yu Xiaocao became a veterinarian, and her reputation spread far and wide, even Xiaocao's grandma's family on the other side of the mountain had heard of her fame. Xiaocao is really speechless! However, the purpose of her learning medical skills is to cover up the cheating magic weapon of Lingshi water in her hand. She doesn't care whether others believe it or not, as long as it can benefit her family, that's enough!

"The sun winks at me, the birds sing to me. I'm a hard-working, clingy goblin. Don't ask me where I'm from, and don't ask me where I'm going. I'll pick the most beautiful Flowers from my family, my little princess. Your Majesty asked me to patrol the mountains, and I will take a look around the world... "

Yu Hai still listened to the previous few sentences with great interest: "My daughter's singing is really good, I must have followed him!" But, listening to it, Yu Hai felt something was wrong. Why did my good daughter become a goblin? This child is too courageous, and he is not afraid of being taken away by the celestial master!

"Girl! What kind of fairy is not a fairy? You've heard too many ghost stories, right?" Yu Hai couldn't help interrupting Xiaocao when she sang the line "Catch a monk for dinner". The donkey cart has turned to the main road, and the number of people on the road is gradually increasing.

Facing the curious gazes from the side, Yu Xiaocao smiled and said, "Yes, Dad! There are so many stories about ghosts and goblins in Grandpa You's belly!"

An old man with a white beard who was riding a donkey upside down said with a smile, "The little girl's voice is so crisp, it's so nice! The content of her singing is also interesting. It turns out that little fairies can be so cute!"

This old man with a white beard is white and fat, with a red face, even though he is wearing coarse clothes, he looks like a pampered master. There are also "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren" who lead his donkeys and carry bags on their backs. The clothes on their bodies can't hide their bulging muscles, and their eyes are full of vigilance. They are definitely the likes of guards and courtyard guards.

Yu Xiaocao pretended to be innocent, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you are riding a donkey backwards, are you imitating Zhang Guolao?"

"Yo! The little girl has also heard the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea!" The old man with white beard was obviously in a good mood, and after a hearty smile, he said, "Come on, tell grandpa, besides Zhang Guolao, whose story do you know?"

"I know a lot!" Yu Xiaocao shook the wicker that had sprouted green shoots in her hand, her little head held high, showing a complacent attitude, "Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li, He Xiangu... I know all the stories!"

Yu Xiaocao remembered the story of the Eight Immortals, which originated in the Yuan Dynasty drama "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", so she was not afraid of revealing her identity as a time traveler.

She and the white-bearded old man, the old and the young, chatted happily all the way, and she didn't feel that the way to the town was far away. When he arrived at the gate of the town, the white-bearded grandfather, who looked like an old urchin, bit his handkerchief, and reluctantly bid farewell to Xiaocao, who had forgotten the year.

Along the way, Yu Hai didn't talk much. When he was separated from the group of people pretending to be father, son and grandson, he said: "Girl, the old man with the white beard just now may have a different status! If you meet again in the future, remember to be careful with your words, be careful!" Get into trouble."

Yu Xiaocao obediently said, "Father! Don't worry, my daughter has her own way!"

Yu Hai thought back on the journey, his daughter was indeed more careful in her speech and conversation than usual, and in addition, her youngest daughter was usually more sensible and well-behaved than usual, so he felt relieved.

While talking, the two came to the largest and busiest vegetable market in the city. The father and father chose an open space with a good flow of people, unloaded the donkey cart, and led the donkey to a special place for storing livestock. There are special people to guard it. If you bring your own fodder, you only need to spend one or two yuan for the care fee.

The donkey of Xiaocao's family has long been caught in her mouth, no matter how good the forage is, it won't even glance at it without spirit stone water. Xiaocao took the prepared fodder from the car, and of course the most important Lingshi water was indispensable in it.

There was a warm light in Xiaohui's eyes, it didn't rush to eat grass, but first rubbed the hand that Xiaocao extended with its head, looked at her softly and dependently, and only after hearing her instructions Eat it with relish.
