The hot summer was particularly difficult, especially for Zhang Ye and them. Everything is ready to be done, everything has begun, and we are waiting to go down. He approved the land, gave gifts to the officials and gentlemen who should have given it, and almost spent all the money on his body. In order to return the funds, he began to sell out the house by the river, not wanting to be unusually popular, and the fifty sets that had just been released were sold out at once, Zhang Ye was very surprised, and hurriedly announced that all of them were sold out and there was no retention. Then he quickly found dozens of people and began to demarcate the whole plot of land and began to price different lots.

He was a little surprised by the popularity of the dock, but luckily he had a quick turn of his mind and responded in a timely manner.

Recently, the entire Zhangshu County and Sweetwater Town have been talking about the Tongshu Wharf. Everyone predicted that there would be a fire there, but it is said that the houses built near the pier have been sold, and if you want to build other places, you will have to buy land with Boss Zhang, and now it is said that the land is not cheap......

Boss Zhang has become a sweet spot in this area.

In the next time, Zhang Ye was accosted by people everywhere he went, and he was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his heel. That time, he was sick and rested for two days, and then he got entangled in all kinds of things - Manqing took care of him for two days, and the rest of the time he ran around by himself, and she couldn't take care of him.

As soon as the summer cicadas rested, the autumn wind gradually rose. Autumn is a good season, it is crisp and fruitful, suitable for harvesting and happy events.

By mid-September, Manqing was getting busier. The things in her field have to be harvested, although there is no need to help in the field, but the Gui family is preparing for the marriage of osmanthus and high school seniors, and she also has to help, so she gets up at dawn all day to work, and when she lies down at night, she has a sore back, and she has a good night's sleep when she closes her eyes.

On this day, Man Qing got up a little late in the morning, and saw that Gao Lao was already feeding the chickens and ducks, so he picked up a broom and began to sweep the yard. Now the chickens and ducks of the Gao family are quite large-scale, but only Gao Lao picks his head - Man Qing often sees that in the morning or evening, as soon as Gao Lao picks up, he is followed by a large group of chickens and ducks who stretch their necks and quickly move their legs, and the picture is quite joyful. Man Qing was secretly amused in her heart, but she didn't say anything on her face, and she didn't go up to help. Slowly, Gao Lao also knew that this job was his, and he couldn't escape.

Fortunately, he slowly found some fun, such as the sense of control, the sense of accomplishment of picking up chickens and duck eggs every morning, and the satisfaction of being able to eat chicken, duck eggs and meat from time to time - since there are more and more chickens and ducks at home, Manqing also has a little income by the river, so he is not so stingy, and from time to time he beats the old man. For this, the father and daughter have a tacit understanding, and they both knowingly release their kindness to each other.

Man Qing finished sweeping the yard, steamed a large pot of sweet potatoes that had just been dug out of the ground, and put out a large bowl for breakfast, which could be used to feed the chickens and ducks in the evening. Seeing that she had set the table, Gao Lao also came over with grace. He saw a boiled egg on his side of the table as usual, his heart warmed slightly, and without saying much, he sat down and began to eat. - Since the hens in the house started laying eggs, now they can see five or six eggs a day, and Manqing is not stingy, everyone has an egg every morning.

After eating in silence, Manqing went to wash his dishes, then took his hoe and basket and went to the vegetable patch in the backyard. At this time, it is still early autumn, and most of the vegetables in the field are either not planted, or they have just been planted, and most of them are green and yellow. But the backyard of Manqing's house is different, she has to spend some time every day to serve, and at this time the inside is still lush: the peppers are still blooming, and the strings of red and green peppers hang under the dark green branches and leaves, which looks very pleasing to watch. A few days ago, the temperature dropped suddenly, and many people's chili peppers died, but Manqing consulted an experienced old farmer, poured some soot on the chili pepper roots, and covered them with straw in the evening, but they were not affected by anything. It's just that she was tired for the past few days, eggplants are still blooming and bearing fruit tenaciously, like peppers, a piece of cabbage seedlings on the ground is growing just right, tender and tender, and it is pleasing to look at; there are also green onions, purple and purple amaranth, beans crawling all over the fence, pumpkins and winter melons lying under the fence......

After a while, Manqing's basket was full of vegetables. In the past few days, the Gui family was too busy to harvest in the fields, so they called a few people to help with the harvest. Osmanthus's wedding date is just half a month later, and now she can't do any work, and Aunt Gui is busy with Osmanthus's marriage, so cooking for the Gui family and a few helpers has become Manqing's unshirkable job.

Therefore, Manqing's vegetable garden can be said to have made a great contribution. The Gui family is not short of money to buy meat now, but they can't just eat meat! Aunt Gui has always grown vegetables in general, and cooking is also ordinary, so when the Gui family comes in autumn, it all depends on the vegetable field of the Manqing family and her craftsmanship to support it - Manqing helps cook at the Gui family, and Gao Lao Li also comes over to eat a little by the way, and even Zhang Ye Gao is a senior and comes to eat when he is free.

Gui Fu went to buy meat early in the morning, and today he also bought pork liver and fat sausage. Man Qing arrived at Gui's house with a basket of vegetables and began to clean up. This day was the last day of the autumn harvest in the field, and the Gui family, as well as the three helpers called by Gao Siliang and Zhang Ye from the river, were all having lunch and dinner at the Gui family. Man Qing rolled up his sleeves, killed the chicken and cut the meat, and began to get busy. Although Osmanthus is to be married at home, the countryside people are not so particular, and she also sits in the kitchen early to help wash vegetables and burn the fire.

Recently, Aunt Gui has been asking Osmanthus to help Man Qing cook, asking her to learn some cooking skills, so as not to be disgusted by the senior in high school when she gets married.

"Manqing, can I help you chop the chili peppers?"

Man Qing was startled, and quickly pushed her away, "I have a knife in my hand, eldest sister! You just sit on the side and help me light the fire!"

Osmanthus stuck out her tongue, not discouraged, "You just let me try!

Man Qing thought in her heart that Osmanthus was an idiot in cooking, and she could hardly do anything other than make a fire and wash vegetables - but she couldn't say it directly, although Osmanthus was a girl with a thick scalp to say, but the truth was a bit too shocking.

"Okay, then you can cut it! This pepper is a little old and a little spicy! This one is for scrambled eggs, so cut it a little finer—you can try it!"

"Okay!" Osmanthus threw the tongs and jumped over happily.

"Have you washed your hands?"

"Oh, yes, here we go!"

Taking advantage of the osmanthus to cut vegetables, Man Qing hurriedly came to deal with the fat intestines. This is a bit troublesome, she added some vinegar and flour distressedly, turned the fat intestine over, and rubbed it vigorously...... This dish is very popular when it is done, but it is difficult to handle. When she was almost washed outside and returned to the room, she couldn't smile bitterly: Osmanthus was very seriously tearful and grinning and cutting chili peppers one by one, and I don't know if her hand touched her face when she cut it, and her eyes were red at this time, and her face was too, and it hurt to look at it - as soon as she heard that Man Qing had come in, she threw the kitchen knife away, and said pitifully: "Why is this chili so difficult to cut—it's spicy to me!

When Man Qing saw her throw the kitchen knife, her heart rose to her throat, and she subconsciously wanted to take two steps back - that was a bright kitchen knife, did she throw it like this?

"Oh, my sister, where can you put it quickly! I can serve you! Did you touch it with your hand holding the chili pepper? Didn't I tell you that this chili pepper is very spicy? Does it hurt? Go out and wash it with water!"

"I don't know if I touched it, but my face is hot...... It's all you, why do you grow such spicy peppers?!"

“…… If you have the ability, don't eat it. ”

This area is full of spicy food, especially the Gui family. These words are about the army of osmanthus, she muttered a few words, and the fat Gu said to him, "I have already made my aunt and grandmother spicy like this, I have to eat more to relieve my hatred!"
