It's only been four days since I left home, and I've already begun to miss Lanxi Village, although the days are hard, but there are Qiu Niang's stone father and Xizi, no matter how happy it is, the more I miss it, the more I want to save money to go home, but she is now a girl, how to make money?

Shi Gui turned over, it was useless to worry now, I didn't know what Mrs. Zheng's temper was, begging for a living under the hands of others, first stood still, and then thought about saving money, she slowly exhaled a breath, closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.

On the second day, Shi Gui woke up, turned his head to see that the grapes were still sleeping, first breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put on his jacket and got up, went to the kitchen to boil the water first, swept the yard to feed the chickens, carried firewood and fetched water, the first day was the most important, Mrs. Zheng wanted to be diligent, she was more diligent than she thought.

There are many trees on the mountain, and the light penetrates through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and when the sky is bright, the grapes get up, yawn and put on their shoes, and see that Shi Gui has finished everything, and flatten his mouth: "You are so diligent and fast, and no one has gotten up yet." Slowly, he stretched out his hand to pick up his hair, washed before he went to open the rice bowl and boiled porridge with millet to eat.

In addition to boiling porridge, but also steaming steamed buns, these Shi Gui will, the grapes simply looked at it together, Shi Gui is a newcomer, the head is a Zheng woman, the grapes are still her goddaughter, how can it not be soft: "Sister Grape rests, I'll come here." ”

When the village was doing red and white things, Qiu Niang also went to the ancestral hall to help, more or less there was always a few dollars to take, and there was no money to eat, Shi Gui followed, and he could do a lot of work and cook for more than a dozen people, but the amount was more, and the process was still a few dishes, and the noodles were kneaded out after a while.

She is used to doing work, although she is small, she can still hold on, and when Mrs. Zheng gets up, the porridge and steamed buns are ready, and she takes the pottery urn and scoops out the side dishes, and cuts them into cubes is a meal.

Shi Gui saw the rest of the people in this big mansion, there was no one on the door, the rice was sent by grapes, Shi Gui also wanted to follow the identification road, and asked Mrs. Zheng to stay and serve porridge.

The share of the king's steward was also sent, he got up later, and occasionally did not live in the house, went out to do some small business, sold some goods, and used the money given by the Song family, and the grapes said that he gritted his teeth, and he should have paid an extra month of monthly money during the old New Year, so that he could move it, and it was about to start spring, and it was only sent down.

Three tables sat people, two baskets of steamed buns were empty, steamed buns were steamed one by one, the cage steamed by Shi Gui was smaller, these mothers-in-law had no oil in their stomachs all day long, they ate with a round waist and thick body, they ate three in one go, ate clean with pickles, and scraped porridge in the last mouthful of steamed buns.

Shi Gui cleaned up the dishes, and those mothers-in-law sat and picked their teeth, talking about the tender bamboo shoots growing in the bamboo forest, and digging them to roast the meat to eat the best taste, Shi Gui heard that his heart moved, and when he went up the mountain, he did see a lot of bamboo, and there were villagers who came up the mountain to dig bamboo.

She couldn't compete with anyone else, but outsiders couldn't come in the Song Mansion, and if these many bamboo shoots could be dried and sold, how much silver could they sell! She hurriedly accosted: "I'll dig it, I often dig bamboo shoots at home, whether it's dried to make soup or sauce, it's all very fresh." ”

Several people wanted to eat, but no one was willing to do it, Mrs. Zheng heard her say, thinking of the sour bamboo shoots, after all, the flowers had not bloomed at this time, so she made the sour bamboo shoots first, turned over the pattern and sent it to the eldest lady.

After all, she was idle and had nothing to do, the stove was not extinguished, and a few people were just sitting and knocking their teeth, talking about some grievances and grievances in the old house, Zheng Pozi simply found a basket, and her eyes swept the grapes, she was unhappy, her eyes were slanted at Shi Gui, and she was troubled.

Shi Gui knew that she was not happy, so he came out of the kitchen and said, "Sister Grape just took me to the place, I cook it at home, and it is very fast." Grape then put down his face, and really took her to the back of the bamboo forest house, a large bamboo forest, and there were two large round stones in front of it.

"Well, that's it, you can do it, I'll go back. Grape said and shook his hand and left, Shi Gui wished that she was not there, and it was more comfortable to work alone.

The breeze blows the bamboo leaves, inhale a breath full of bamboo fragrance, Shi Gui quickly walked up the steps, this is indeed a good place to give birth to bamboo, the bamboo forest is made to look like a house, there is a water source in front of the mountain range, there is a plaque in the house, written with the word Caolu, turn around and look at the past, just saw the two big round stones, put together is a gossip, this old lady Song, but also compare himself to Zhuge Liang?

Shi Gui stretched out his hand and jumped twice, such a bamboo forest, it was all hers, rolled up his sleeves, took out a small digging hoe from the basket, picked the big one and dug it up first, and the small one waited for two days before it could be dug again.

The garden is built in the mountains, the house built on the mountain is not a family, the main family does not come to live, and there are people who watch the house, there are also special yards here for people to visit and spend the night, the four seasons are indispensable to go to the mountains to dig mountain goods and hunt game, and further down there are hunters, these people hunt, they go to the ferry to sell goods, there are boats every day, transport things outside to sell, and then collect some things on the mountain and go back to exchange money.

When Shi Gui came, he took a boat, and before he got to the place, he heard that there was an inquiry for the receipt, and there were people who came down to buy vegetables with baskets, and there were firewood piled up by the kitchen of the other garden, and fish were raised in the tank.

She ate and slept well, but her spirit was very depleted, but now she was full of energy, and yesterday she was worried about how to save money, and now this ground is not copper, just waiting for her to dig it.

Fresh bamboo shoots are the price of fresh bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots are another, if these bamboo shoots can be dried and stored in the season and then sold, the price can be doubled, Shi Gui's mouth can't be closed, and after a while, he dug up two roots, even the roots with leaves, the leaves did not touch a little, patted off the mud and washed back, these are used to stuff Zheng Pozi's mouth.

She took the bamboo basket back, and the mothers-in-law were still basking in the sun in the yard, and they were talking about the king's stewardship: "It's time to plant summer clothes at this time, and two sets of clothes in a season should always be sent on time, and they are already wearing coarse cloth. ”

This is the grandmother-in-law who watched the courtyard door, she was in a hurry, and she looked difficult to get along with, but she opened the door, this road has to be passed, and she is also a ring here, Shi Gui brought the basket in, and a few of them looked at it and smiled: "I'm back so soon." ”

Shi Gui called out to each other, learned to call his mother with grapes, put down the basket, added firewood to the stove, and refilled the tea for them, saying that it was tea, that is, the leaf stalks, this place was out of tea, but the Wang steward only bought some old tea to fill the number, he ate good tea at home, so why didn't people spit on him behind his back.

Shi Gui was busy with her hands, but her ears were always erect, and Mrs. Zheng asked her to peel off the bamboo shoot leaves, wash them and prepare them, and the bamboo shoots were powdered at this time

Tender, looking at this tender yellow will feel fresh, in Lanxi Village in order to be able to exchange more money, the newborn bamboo shoots did not eat a bite, the night before leaving, Qiu Niang dried the bamboo shoots and stewed them in the rice, and felt guilty that she didn't even ask her to eat a meal of meat, the taste of this bamboo shoot, is how can I not forget.

Shi Gui's hands and feet didn't stop, it seemed that the grapes were lazy, and he knocked melon seeds with his feet, Shi Gui also added water and tea to her, but Mrs. Zheng didn't talk about her, only gossiped with the others, and a large number of Wang stewards had to burn the stove to prepare lunch.

With these bamboo shoots, you have to burn the meat to be fragrant, and several mothers-in-law also got together, and each of them touched a dozen dollars to come out, and together they sent grapes to buy meat.

Shi Gui was thinking that if he didn't bring grapes, he could ask the price first, and hurried ahead of her: "I'll go, only my mother told me how much my meat is a knife, but there is a familiar seller, I know the scale." ”

The Song family's garden is built in the middle of the mountain, there is a good way down the mountain, there are people who don't want to go for the grapes, there is only one avenue down the mountain, and they are not afraid of getting lost on this avenue, and the grapes turned their eyes: "Just call Shi Gui to go, I will give my mother a hand." ”

Grape didn't believe that Shi Gui could read the scales, so she was so busy showing her face early in the morning, so she showed her eyes, made this abacus in her stomach, and looked at Shi Gui with a smile.

The newcomer runs more errands, and it is the same everywhere, Mrs. Zheng put the money on her, and a few people made it together, all of which amounted to a penny of silver, and just cut a pound of pork: "You are looking for a man with a red cloth head on the boat, surnamed Kong, his mother-in-law is kind, and he will not press your scale." ”

Everything was ordered, Shi Gui painted the gourd in the same way, Zheng Pozi saw that she was smart, nodded and smiled, she walked to the door and went out, and said hello to the porter, all the way to the heart pounding, I didn't expect to come out the next day.

Smelling the aroma of flowers and plants along the way, the road down the mountain is not difficult to walk, only there are fewer pedestrians, but there are woodcutters who carry the burden, mountain guests carrying mountain goods, seeing that she is wearing a green jacket and green skirt, knowing that it is a girl from a big family on this mountain, and she does not come to provoke, and she arrives at the ferry in a moment.

There were more boats in the morning market, and there were some ships receiving goods at this time, Shi Gui didn't take much trouble to find the boat of the Kong family, and cut the pork according to the words, but it was only half a catty, and the Confucian lady also laughed: "I didn't say I wanted it yesterday, and I didn't bring it today, only this half catty, and there is no more." ”

This is what Mrs. Zheng never said, Shi Gui asked half a catty of pork, turned these boats around, and sure enough, she saw the bamboo shoots and mountain goods, a basket of baskets in the cabin, all fresh, she crossed her hand and asked: "How to sell this bamboo shoot?"

The boatman laughed, there are so many on the mountain, why do you still come to buy it, just think it is for the house, and the little girl is lazy to buy it: "Thirty wen a basket, if you weigh the catty, it will be more expensive." ”

Shi Gui asked around, but the price of the Kong family was the fairest, so he turned back and asked her to take a straw rope to skewer the meat, and said in a gossip: "I saw that there are so many bamboo shoots, and a boatload of them is transported outside, can you really make a move?"

Kong Niangzi cleaned the white hair on the pork skin, and then lifted it up and handed it to her: "Why can't it, this is a fresh product, it is selling well, and I have to buy it back to dry it." ”

There must be ingredients for making sour bamboo shoots and preserved bamboo, and these Shi Gui can't do it at this time, so he smiled and just played: "How much do you receive?" I just changed two handkerchiefs for use. ”

Confucius Niangzi looked at her at this time, seeing that she was still young, combing her shuangya, but she was six or seven years old, saying that the handkerchief was fake, and the gluttony was true. ”

Shi Gui quickly calculated an account in his heart, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Then I'll pick up a few and thank you for receiving the goods." ”

Kong Niangzi often does the business of the Song family, but asked her a few words, knowing that it was the girl who was bought by the Song family, and she was afraid that she would come to run errands to buy things, so she quickly nodded: "What is this, the same is a receipt, and you can bring some if you can." ”

Twelve wen a catty, which is more than the money given by the dealer who collected bamboo shoots in the countryside, Shi Gui wrote it down in his heart, carried the meat and ran all the way back, and the goods had a way, so it depended on whether Mrs. Zheng agreed or not.
