Chapter 326: Xiao Ming helps chop sugar cane
After cutting like this for an hour, You's mother took a breath, wiped the sweat on her face, and called out loudly to the two brothers and sisters, and the two brothers and sisters also stopped.
Looking at the sugar cane piled up in the ground, You's mother said loudly: "Xiao Ming, third sister, you peel off the leaves first." ”
The two siblings nodded and said yes, put down the kitchen knife, picked up the sugarcane on the ground and carefully peeled the leaves, and You's mother continued to chop.
The sugarcane she planted was far away from each other, so that when she cut it, the sugarcane leaves were not so easy to meet.
She cut down a lot of bamboo, and she carefully straightened all the sugar cane with grain, and now she dismantled the straw when she cut it.
You Ma chopped for a while, and also came over to help peel the leaves.
Now there are neat sugarcanes on the ground, and You Ma has tied ten sugarcanes together with the grain grass on the ground.
When bundling, I took a closer look to make sure that there was no insect cane before I asked for it. After tying the two bundles, You Ma continued to help peel the sugarcane leaves.
After an hour and a half, all the leaves of the chopped cane were peeled.
There was a pile of sugar cane on the ground, about ten bundles, and You Ma immediately called Xiao Ming and asked him to call a tricycle to drag the sugar cane to the street.
Xiao Ming nodded and said okay, put down the kitchen knife, and turned around.
You Ma and the third sister continued to chop sugar cane, Xiao Ming walked quickly, and only arrived on the street half an hour later. I walked around the street and asked the master if he wanted to drag the goods?
The master asked him what he was dragging, and he said he was dragging sugar cane. Then asked how much is the shipping cost?
The master asked him how many catties he had? He said that it should be about 200 catties, and the master immediately said that the round-trip freight would be at least 30 yuan.
Xiao Ming nodded and said yes, got on his tricycle, and said the place, the master often goes to the countryside, so he still knows the road.
With the rumbling sound of the small tricycle, the road they took was slightly wider, and when they reached the path, Xiao Ming had to come down.
Then he told the master to let him wait here, and he and his mother immediately carried the sugar cane over.
Master nodded and said okay, turned off the tricycle first, sat there and waited.
It's a bit troublesome to sell sugar cane every time, there is no means of transportation, and it is very laborious to pick it up and sell it on the street by yourself.
I had to call a small tricycle every time, but the tricycle couldn't drive into the field, the road was too small, and I could only wait halfway through.
Xiao Ming turned around and trotted to his own field.
Fortunately, it is not far away, and it will arrive in a while. Xiao Ming called his mother loudly, and when his mother saw him coming, she smiled and said, "Xiao Ming called the car." ”
Xiao Ming said yes as he walked, and his mother told the third sister to stop and carry the sugarcane on the ground first.
The third sister nodded and said yes, the family put all the kitchen knives together, and the mother and the third sister carried a bundle.
Xiao Ming carried a bundle alone and walked towards the place of the tricycle together.
Xiao Ming's strength is very strong, but he stopped several times on the road, and took a big breath when he arrived.
Mom and the third sister had already arrived, and when they saw the tricycle master there, the master came down immediately, and the mother had already brought the table name.
After the master helped them weigh it, he helped them carry the sugarcane into the tricycle.
Mom asked the third sister to stay there, and she and Xiao Ming went back to carry it.
After carrying it back and forth many times, weighing it all on the scales, I finally lifted all the sugarcane on the ground to the cart.
After moving, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the master immediately smiled and said, "There are more than 200 catties of sugarcane here, and the shipping fee is 25 yuan!"
You's mother nodded and said okay, and her mother asked Xiao Ming and the master to go to the street and ask him to give the fare to the master.
Tell him to sell it on the street, and when the time comes, his sister will bring him food.
Xiao Ming nodded and said yes, got on the tricycle and left with the master.
The mother gave some change to Xiao Ming, and the two mothers and daughters went back to bring back the kitchen knife, and the rest of the leaves were not peeled and put there.
I went back to make lunch first, I was already very hungry, and the two mothers and daughters hurried home.
Soon after arriving home, she washed her hands with water, and the third sister hurried to the kitchen to make lunch.
My mother fed the family's livestock and picked mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms. After feeding, Mom went to the kitchen to help.
The third sister has already cooked the rice, and now there is only stir-fry left.
Stir-fry only three dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a plate of scrambled eggs.
The third sister lit the fire, and the mother fried. It'll be ready in half an hour!
Mom found an iron lunch box, which Xiao Ming used to study at school. Cook well and put some vegetables and eggs in it.
asked the third sister to send it to her brother first, and the third sister nodded and said okay.
I took a bag and turned around and left, and my mother brought the food to the table, sat down alone and began to eat.
It's not very far from the street, about twenty minutes away.
After the third sister arrived, she looked down the street and found her brother sitting there, she hurriedly walked over and called him loudly: "Second brother is ready, you can eat first." ”
Xiao Ming nodded and said okay, took the iron lunch box, opened the lid, picked up the chopsticks and ate it.
The third sister turned around and went back, washed her hands when she got home, and immediately sat down at the table to eat.
She was also very hungry, so she picked up the scrambled eggs and ate them in a big gulp, and her mother asked while eating: "Third sister, did your second brother sell some?"
The third sister said while eating, "I don't know, I didn't ask him." ”
The sun is not very big today, Xiao Ming is standing next to the sugar cane, and there are a little people on the street now.
While eating, Xiao Ming shouted loudly: "Sell sugar cane, everyone come and buy it!"
It's about 10 o'clock in the morning, and today is the market, and there are fewer people slowly.
Someone still came to ask, Xiao Ming said loudly: "Auntie, buy sugarcane, five cents a catty, do you want to buy two? ”
The aunt immediately asked, "Young man, if you buy more, can you buy less?"
Xiao Ming immediately said, "Auntie, it's already the cheapest." We grow our own sugarcane, and just now I had to pay the master for shipping. ”
Aunt looked at the sugarcane here, the big roots were even, but she didn't know whether it was sweet or not, so she had to ask Xiao Ming again: "Young man, is your sugarcane really sweet?"
Xiao Ming immediately cut a small piece with a knife to the aunt and let her eat, and the aunt took it and bit it, and the sweetness in her mouth was still very good.
The aunt ate for a while and smiled and said, "Okay, weigh me a bundle." ”
Xiao Ming nodded and said okay, Xiao Ming took out the table scale, asked the aunt to choose a bundle, and asked him to help carry the scale.
After weighing, I said the weight, about twenty catties, and the aunt took out the money and counted ten yuan to Xiao Ming.
Auntie said no need to look for it, I just ate a short section.
Xiao Ming nodded and said yes, and said thank you with a smile. The aunt asked Xiao Ming to watch, and she went home and asked someone to carry her.
Xiao Ming nodded and said yes, and the aunt turned around and left. Xiao Ming continued to shout loudly.
After a while, an uncle came over and asked Xiao Ming how to sell it?
Xiao Ming said loudly: "Grandpa, my own sugarcane, five cents a catty." Very sweet. ”
Grandpa looked at the even sugar cane and asked loudly again: "Young man, I'll buy a bundle, can you help me deliver it?"
Xiao Ming had no choice but to smile and say, "Grandpa, I still have so many here that haven't been sold, when someone from my house comes, I'll help you deliver it, okay?"
Grandpa immediately asked, "How long will you have to wait?"
Xiao Ming thought for a moment and said, "In about twenty minutes." ”
At this time, You's mother and the third sister had already finished eating. You Ma hurriedly came to the street, she came to take a look, how much did she sell?
Tell the third sister to continue to the sugarcane field and peel off the remaining leaves.
The third sister closed the door and walked slowly towards the sugar cane field.
Mom slowly came down the street, and it was a little while.
Da Lao You's mother saw Xiao Ming, and hurriedly walked over to call him, at this time Xiao Ming had finished eating.
Put the lunch box in a bag and put it on the ground, the old man is already gone. You Ma smiled and asked, "Xiao Ming, how much has it been sold?"
Xiao Ming counted and said with a smile: "Mom, I have already sold four bundles, and there may be fifty yuan." ”
It's past eleven o'clock now, and the people who are rushing to the market are almost gone. Mom looked at the sugar cane on the ground, sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll take a bundle and ask them if they can buy it?"
Xiao Ming immediately said: "Mom, I'll come, you stay here!"
You Ma nodded and said okay, Xiao Ming picked up a bundle of sugarcane and began to ask the owners of those stores, asking them if they wanted to buy sugarcane?
After asking a few companies, two bosses asked for it, and each bought five sugar canes. Xiao Ming finally sold the bundle of sugarcane.
I wiped my sweat and hurried back. Continuing to carry a bundle of sugar cane, I asked next to the storefronts, this time a boss bought a bundle.
Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back again. Mom was very happy to see him come back. She stayed here and sold a bundle as well.
The third sister was next to the sugarcane field, wearing canvas gloves, and peeled the remaining sugarcane leaves.
In this way, at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the third sister had finished peeling the sugarcane leaves there.
Xiao Ming: All they have sold on the street is a bundle. At this time, the uncle came, and Xiao Ming hurriedly sent it to him.
Mom turned around and walked away with the table scale and walked towards the house, but fortunately it was sold out.
Soon after arriving home, my mother put the table scale away, and then turned and walked towards the sugar cane field.
Soon I arrived at the field and saw the third sister tying sugar cane there.
Mom called her loudly, and the third sister also stopped and said with a smile, Mom, you are here.
Mom helped to finish the rest of the bundles, and there were four bundles of sugar cane. The two mothers and daughters were carried home together.
After Xiao Ming helped the uncle to resist back, he gave Xiao Ming the sugarcane money, gave him two more yuan, and said thank him for his help with a smile.
Xiao Ming said no thanks, turned around and left. Pack up the money and go to your own field. Soon I got to the field and saw that there were still two bundles of sugar cane left.
He immediately resisted one bundle and went home, and the two mothers and daughters came back to resist the rest of the bundle.
After arriving home, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief, brought water to wash their hands and face, and the family sat down to rest for a while. The third sister went to the kitchen to have a hot meal.
Xiao Ming took out the money he sold today and counted it twice, and sold it for a total of 125 yuan.
Mom asked Xiao Ming to give her half of the money, and Xiao Ming nodded and said okay. Twenty minutes later, the third sister had a good meal and told them to eat.
They nodded yes, and the family sat down and began to eat.
My mother said while eating, "I think it will be sold twice, so let's go cut it in the afternoon." ”
The two siblings nodded and said yes, and after eating, the third sister packed up the dishes and went to wash.
