Soon another hour passed, and Lan Cheng and Lan's mother sold another five catties. Looking at the remaining leeks, Mother Lan had no choice but to sigh and say, "Forget it, let's pick it back, and sell it in the town tomorrow!"

Lan Cheng nodded and said yes, picked up the flat pole and walked away with the basket. Lan's mother followed. It wasn't hot, so they took a break on the road and got home.

After Lan's mother washed her hands, she went to the kitchen to cook, and Lan Cheng went to feed the family's livestock.

After feeding, Lan Cheng picked up the handful of stalks and weighed the remaining leeks.

After all the scales were finished, there were still thirty-five catties left, and he quickly poured a little more water on it. After pouring it, I went to the kitchen to help.

Lan's mother was stir-frying, and when she saw Lan Cheng coming, she immediately said, "Lan Cheng put the leeks in the water first, and they will look fresh tomorrow." We're going to dig up some ginger this afternoon and sell it in town tomorrow. ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said that he would go immediately, taking the wooden bucket and going to the well to fetch water. After beating, bring it back and put all the remaining leeks into the bucket.

After putting it down, I talked to my mother, and my mother nodded and said okay, at this time, the dishes had been fried, and the two mothers and children began to sit down for lunch.

Lan Cheng asked while eating, "Mom, are we just digging ginger this afternoon?"

Lan's mother said while eating, "Dig a little ginger, and then dig a little garlic." Lan Cheng nodded and said yes.

After the two mothers and children finished eating quickly, Lan's mother cleaned up and went to wash. Lan Cheng went back to his room and looked at the calendar, there were five days to go to school.

I sorted out the things I was going to take away, and after tidying up for a while, I was a little sleepy and lay down in bed and fell asleep.

Mom also closed the door and went to sleep in her own room. At half past three in the afternoon, the two mothers and sons got up.

Closing the door, Lan's mother carried the basket on her back, and Lan Cheng carried the basket and walked towards her home.

Not long after, the mother and son put down their belongings and began to prepare to dig ginger.

The soil was a little dry, and now it was a bit laborious to dig up, so the two mothers and sons dug carefully and dug up the soil next to the ginger first.

Lan's mother planted six lines of ginger, and she could only dig one line to sell each time. When planting, chemical fertilizers should also be put so that ginger can grow well.

I will also spray pesticides once, and some of the grass and wood ash at home will also be poured here.

After planting, it is also necessary to water, the leaves of ginger cannot be sold, they can only be cut off with a knife each time, and the leaves are rarely eaten. Unlike leeks, the leaves can still be eaten.

Sometimes Mother Lan will soak a little tender ginger as pickles to eat, and the leaves of the ginger will also grow very long, and the green leaves will be wrapped layer by layer.

After digging for an hour, I finally finished digging up a line of ginger. After digging, the two mothers and sons began to carefully pull the ginger up.

If there is mud on it, it should also be washed by the river.

After cleaning up for half an hour, I finally finished pulling out all the ginger. The two mothers and sons hurriedly took out knives and cut off all the leaves.

After the two mothers and sons were carefully cut, they put them in baskets and prepared to carry them to the river.

After a quick loading, the two mothers and sons went to the river together.

Lan Cheng put down the flat shoulder, and her mother put down the back basket, took off her shoes, pulled up her trouser legs and sleeves and began to wash ginger.

The two mothers and sons sat on the stones on the steps, picked up the grain grass next to them and began to wash it. The water in the river rattled, and as they scrubbed hard, the water became muddy.

These gingers look like a pair of human hands, with five fingers next to each other. The two mothers and sons washed very carefully and washed the mud on it.

After washing, put it in a basket, the two mothers and sons washed their arms with water from the river from time to time, and after washing for a while, Lan Cheng took out the wind oil essence, wiped it on his hands, and smeared a little bit on his mother.

After wiping it up, I put it on and continued to wash it diligently, and after an hour, I finally finished washing.

The two mothers and sons breathed a sigh of relief and put the washed ginger together, and Mother Lan immediately said, "Let's go home and separate the old ginger first." ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, got up from the water to dry his feet, put on his shoes, picked up the flat pole and carried it, and Lan's mother followed behind.

It didn't take long for them to get home, and after the two mothers and sons put them down, they opened the door and took out two small benches to sit down, and began to separate Lao Jiang.

Take out two knives and carefully cut off the old ginger, the old ginger can also be sold, but some people don't like it.

I had to separate like this, and the two mothers and children carefully cut it, and finally finished cutting it after half an hour.

Mother Lan put the old ginger together, put the young ginger in a basket, there was just a basket, Mother Lan turned around and went to the house to get the scale, weighed the old ginger, there were five catties.

Lan's mother put the scales back into the house and said loudly, "Now let's dig up a little garlic again." ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, and after closing the door, the two mothers and sons went out again with their belongings. Soon they arrived at the field, and the mother and son put down their belongings and prepared to dig garlic.

Lan's mother grows local garlic, and the garlic cloves will not grow very large, and the price is cheaper than that of garlic from other places. I can't finish eating at home, and I don't have much to do here.

This kind of garlic sprouts is a kind of fragrant garlic sprouts, which are generally fried back to the pot and meat, and this garlic sprouts will be stir-fried. Its leaves can also be eaten, and when it grows to a certain point, it will also grow garlic moss.

Garlic moss is better than garlic seedlings, and the price will be sold a little more, and garlic moss is also green, and it will grow into garlic when it is old in the end.

Lan's mother planted a small piece, usually eats a little, and sells a little. The two mothers and sons dug carefully. Put the dug together.

Lan Cheng said while digging, "Mom, how much are we going to dig?"

Lan's mother said while digging: "It's okay to dig about ten catties." ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, after digging for about half an hour, Lan's mother immediately told Lan Cheng not to dig. Take out two knives and cut off the yellow leaves first.

After cutting, put the garlic into a basket, only about half a small basket. Mom immediately shouted, "Let's go, let's go wash first." ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, picked up the flat pole and walked, and Lan's mother followed behind. Soon when they arrived at the river, Lan's mother took a wooden bucket and beat half a bucket of water, put all the garlic into the bucket, and began to scrub it.

Lan's mother asked Lan Cheng to go home first, Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, and went back with the empty basket.

Soon after arriving home, Lan Cheng opened the door and put the basket into the hall, and fed the family animals first.

At this time, it was getting late, and after feeding, Lan Cheng hurriedly cooked.

After a while, Lan's mother finally finished washing, put the washed garlic into the back basket, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and went home immediately with the back basket.

After arriving home after a while, Lan's mother put down the basket and called out to Lan Cheng, and when Lan Cheng heard it, she immediately came out of the kitchen.

Lan's mother immediately asked, "Lan Cheng, have you cooked any good rice?"

immediately said loudly: "Mom, you're back, it's almost ready, and you're stir-frying." You can sit down and rest for a while. ”

Lan's mother nodded and said okay, and soon after Lan Cheng cooked it, she asked her mother to eat. The mother and son sat under the fluorescent lamp and began to eat dinner.

The two mothers and sons eat very simply, both of them are two vegetables.

After eating, Lan Cheng cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, and Lan's mother went to hot bath water.

After the heat was good, the two mothers and sons washed one after another, closed the door after washing, and went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, the two mothers and sons got up at six o'clock, cooked breakfast, fed the animals, closed the door, and the two mothers and sons carried their things and left.

At this time, it was already half past six, and in order to get to the town as soon as possible, the two mothers and children arrived on the main road, and the tricycle came and immediately got on and left.

When they arrived in the town half an hour later, Lan Cheng immediately gave the fare, Lan Cheng carried two baskets, and so did Lan's mother.

In order to find a place to sell vegetables, Lan's mother walked quickly, and Lan Cheng followed behind.

Today is the town to catch the market, the villagers of 21 villages have come, the street is very lively, all kinds of shouting and selling.

Walking on the road was a little crowded, and Lan's mother walked directly towards the vegetable market.

After walking for a while, she finally arrived, she hurriedly put down the basket, Lan Cheng also put it down next to him, the two mothers and sons wiped their sweat and began to sell.

Seeing that there were vegetables selling next to her, Mother Lan breathed a sigh of relief and began to shout: "Fresh leeks, three yuan a catty, everyone come and buy them." ”

Lan Cheng's basket was ginger and garlic, and he also began to shout: "Fresh tender ginger, five yuan a catty, everyone come and buy it." There is also fresh garlic, which is also five yuan a catty. ”

After a few screams, the grocery buyers looked at it, and they wanted to buy the vegetables first, and after a while, someone finally came.

The two aunts surrounded Lan Cheng and asked loudly with a smile: "Young man, how do you sell these two things?"

Lan Cheng immediately laughed loudly and said, "Auntie, it's all five yuan a catty." I planted it myself, and I dug it up yesterday. Wash it cleanly, buy two catties!"

The two aunts each took ginger and garlic in the basket and looked at them carefully. After reading it, he whispered, and immediately asked loudly: "Young man, can the price be less?"

Lan Cheng immediately said loudly: "Auntie, there are few people who plant ginger and garlic, its yield is not high, and we must also put chemical fertilizer, so that it can grow well, we can't sell it for a few dollars when we plant a little, and the price is already very fair." ”

The two aunts looked at it again, it was indeed very fresh, and after discussing it, they said: "Okay, let's weigh two catties each!"

Lan Cheng immediately took two bags to them and asked them to choose carefully, and after choosing, they gave Lan Cheng and asked him to weigh them.

Lan Cheng immediately took the scale and weighed it, and asked the two aunts to look at the weight, one Jiang weighed three catties, and the other weighed two and a half catties, Nancheng immediately asked if he wanted to weigh three catties?

An aunt nodded and said okay, and took a little more and put it in, just three catties.

A garlic weighed a catty, a garlic weighed a catty and a half, Lan Cheng immediately asked if he wanted to weigh two catties?

The aunt immediately said no, because the garlic cloves were small.

They each counted the money, and then said the total amount, and the two aunts each took out the money and gave the money to Lan Cheng.

After Lan Cheng saw it, he found change for them, and the two aunts left with their things. Lan Cheng immediately continued to shout.

Lan's mother also sold three catties of leeks there, and the two mothers and sons shouted loudly.

As time passed, it was almost eleven o'clock, and there were only five catties of leeks left in Mother Lan's leek.

There are still ten catties of ginger sold by Lan Cheng, and two catties of garlic left. At this time, the two mothers and sons breathed a sigh of relief.
