Chapter Eighty-Eight: Selling the Greens
Xiao Man asked Aunt Jiang: "It's not a festival yet, why did Auntie make tofu?"
Aunt Jiang took off the cloth around her waist, looked at the door and saw that no one had walked in, so she mysteriously approached Xiao Man and said: " Auntie is not afraid to tell you, you just don't tell others: Auntie has a cousin married in the mining area over there, and her cousin-in-law has just been transferred to manage the workers' canteen. Our family's self-reserved land has also received a lot of soybeans this year, and now the beans are cheap to sell, so it is better to make a few plates of tofu by yourself and make a few more money!"
Xiao Man nodded: "Yes, yes, it's not difficult to make tofu, the main thing is that someone buys it and can make some money!"
Aunt Jiang sighed: "They still want some fresh vegetables in the canteen, but unfortunately, my autumn vegetables have just grown and can't be eaten yet." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Your Uncle Jiang is going to the village now to see which one has ......"
Xiao Man's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Auntie, why don't you ask my grandma? I have vegetables at home, my vegetables grow well, I can eat them!"
"Really?" Aunt Jiang was overjoyed: "Oh, I really didn't expect it, look at your old and young, your grandma's eyes are still ...... It's a small number of me, I should fight, I should fight! That Xiaoman, what kind of dishes do you have in your house? How many catties can you allot?"
Xiao Man said: "The first crop of autumn vegetables in our family planted green stem vegetables, small cabbage, Shanghai green, five or six boxes of vegetables are almost the same height, you can first dial two or three boxes, I don't know how many catties can be." ”
"Oh my God, can you dial it all? When did you plant it?"
"It's just like the vegetable seeds that Qiu Er's family sprinkled together for a while. ”
"The Qiu family's dishes are the same as mine, they haven't grown much taller. ”
"Then I don't know, I carry water to water the vegetable garden in the morning and evening, and my grandfather opens a septic tank from time to time and uses manure to water the ground. ”
Aunt Jiang's mouth turned into an O-shape, and she suddenly realized: "I forgot, there is a septic tank in your backyard!"
She slapped her thigh: "When it's sunny someday, I'll go to your house to pick up manure and water the vegetable field!"
Xiao Man was stunned: No, right? I'll just make an excuse, I don't usually use manure to water the vegetable field, don't go back and forth, and you have to blame me for not growing fast enough.
"That, Auntie, it's so far away, it's not hard for you to pick up the dung, and you still drip the dung all over my house, it will stink to me!"
Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to pass through the gate! Didn't you see a hole made of stone on the fence in your backyard? That was when the production team wanted to pick up the dung water in previous years, the door was opened, and the mouth was sealed after the dung water was picked." Wait for one day for you Uncle Jiang and I to open the door and pick up dung water for a day, not only to water the vegetable field in my back garden, but also to water other fields, and then seal the stone door!"
Xiaoman: ......
Grandma, I should really listen to you and don't run around, what's causing you again?
Aunt Jiang took a bowl of tofu brain, followed Xiao Man home, first handed the tofu brain to grandma, and then went straight to the back vegetable garden, and sure enough, she looked at a few rows of green vegetables that were growing happily, and she was envious, laughing and sighing.
When Grandma heard that she was going to sell the vegetables, she couldn't help but hesitate: "Mother Xuehua, can this vegetable be sold for money?"
Aunt Jiang approached Grandma and whispered: "Why can't you sell it?" Auntie, don't you know, since the beginning of spring this year, many people from other villages have picked melons and vegetables to sell in the mine, and they are very good!
"If that's the case, that's really good!" said Grandma.
"Don't worry, auntie, I made a plate of tofu, your family will allocate thirty or forty catties of vegetables first, and then let Xuehua's father ride a bicycle to send it, and it is my brother-in-law who is in charge of the workers' canteen in the mine, the price will be fair, and we can't suffer losses!"
"That's fine, it's all up to you, and you can do whatever you want. Grandma paused for a moment and said, "If this dish can be sold for five or six yuan, I want to ask Snowflake's father to help me do something." ”
"What's the matter, auntie, you say, don't be polite to our juniors, just support!"
Grandma pulled Xiao Man over and said with a smile: "Look at Xiao Man, it's cold this day, she is still wearing sandals, your uncle is not free today, I just think about ......"
"Oh, I see! What is this? Anyway, Snowflake's father went to the mine canteen and called the supply and marketing cooperative, and he did it by the way. Here, Xiao Man, let me see how many sizes you wear. What kind of shoes do you want to buy? liberation shoes, elastic shoes, or corduroy with loop buttons?"
Aunt Jiang was very enthusiastic, and Grandma hurriedly asked Xiao Man: "What do you want?" ”
Xiao Man didn't expect Grandma to be so anxious about her shoes, but she had to buy them back first, her heart was warm, and she didn't squirm at the moment, and said directly: "Then I want a pair of elastic shoes!"
Liberation shoes are free, although cheap but clumsy rustic, the delicate appearance of the corduroy surface of the loop buckle is good-looking, it may be more expensive, and the elastic shoes are not too rustic and easy to walk like liberation shoes, the price is moderate, just choose this.
Aunt Jiang helped, and Xiao Man pulled out two boxes of green vegetables, tied them up with rice stalks, one could weigh more than one pound or two catties, a total of thirty handfuls, stacked them in a bamboo basket, let Aunt Jiang take them away, and then handed them over to Uncle Jiang and sent them to the mine canteen together with tofu.
There are still more than ten catties left, and Xiao Man gave a large handful of enough to eat two meals to Aunt Jiang, and the rest is what his family of three and the little pig baby will eat today and tomorrow.
Take a hoe to loosen the soil, sprinkle the vegetable seeds prepared in advance, and pour some spiritual spring water frequently, and after a week, the ridges will be dense and green.
The weather in the south is so good, the green vegetables still grow in autumn and winter, and if there is no spiritual spring water, it will grow, but it will grow faster after watering the spiritual spring water.
Needless to say, the taste of Xiao Man's vegetables will be thought of a second time after eating it once!
Xiao Man is not very worried about what Aunt Jiang suspects, people who grow up in the countryside know that the soil quality and water quality are different, and the taste of the crops grown is different!
Not a village can grow a taste of vegetables and fruits, each farming area, the head of the village, and even the same row of neighborhoods grow things differently, for example, a farming area is located in a low-lying terrain, perennial waterlogged, there is a rice cooked rice is softer and more fragrant, and more high, Where there is no way to hide the water, the rice grown is dry and hard; the same fruit trees in the backyards of two adjacent households are more sweet and less sour, and the other is more sweet and sour; in two pieces of land not far apart, the pumpkins that grow are sweet and noodles, and the other is tasteless!
In this village, these things are real.
Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang really want to find out the reason, just take them to this ditch, otherwise what else can they do? )
