Chapter 23: A Little Trick Behind the Scenes

Early in the morning, Zhou Xin was busy picking vegetables, the most chili peppers, picking them was also handy, two baskets of chili peppers, fifty or sixty catties were not too big to pick in a while, the tomatoes were big, the water was sufficient, forty catties on a basket, more beans were picked, tender, two big baskets, I wanted it, thirty catties.

I cut ten cabbages, there were about 20 catties, and I picked some cucumbers, and I counted them, and I picked 200 catties of today's vegetables, and I was busy all morning. Zhou Xin moved the basket to the pergola and put it down, climbed the tree, picked four or five watermelons, and put them in the basket.

"Qi Huo. ”

Clapped his hands, took two cucumbers, grabbed a handful of coriander, casually made a cold cucumber, fried a pickled bean, cooked a big pot of red bean and mung bean porridge, fried an egg cake, and lived. "It's so fragrant, what good things does Xiao Xin eat. ”

"Uncle Wang, drink porridge and cook a pot. Zhou Xin, smiling, greeted Wang Anguo.

"Okay, this dish is all picked. Wang Anguo saw that under the pergola, baskets were neatly arranged, full of tomatoes, cucumbers, and cabbage.

Zhou Xin ate the last bite of the pancake, clapped his hands, picked up the red bean and mung bean porridge, poured a mouthful, sent it to his lower stomach, and lay comfortably on the rocking chair, lazy. "Comfortable, but not, I got up at six o'clock and worked for more than an hour. ”

Wang Anguo looked at Zhou Xin, looking lazy, shook his head, he was not polite, he got along for more than a month, Zhou Xin's temper, Wang Anguo didn't understand, this person is really good at work, growing vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep. Weaving bamboo baskets, baskets, and bamboo chairs, there are a lot of small crafts, but this person has a shortcoming is that he is too lazy, and he has a private vegetable shop, and only one table a week.

Sell vegetables, I persuaded myself a few times, there are still a lot of places in the backyard, and then open a few vegetable gardens, this is not a good thing, more than a dozen yuan a catty, but a piece can be opened is money, this kid, what to say, too tired, good guy, a young man in his twenties, an old man who is retired than himself, and knows how to enjoy it.

"Uncle Wang, try to shoot cucumbers. Zhou Xin got up slightly and pushed the remaining half of the plate, cucumbers.

Wang Anguo said with a smile. "I'm not polite to you, Xiaowen, this girl, has been abroad, seen a lot, has a bigger temperament, you get along, be more tolerant. ”

Zhou Xin, I really don't have much idea about Gao Wen, but the idler's space task still has to be completed. "Don't worry. ”

"Your temperament, I rest assured. ”

Zhou Xinxin said, you don't know me all the time, now I'm grinding, my temper is much better, give this to the past, Gao Wen hit his tricycle, and he already fanned his big mouth. Wang Anguo drank a big bowl of porridge while talking, and ate half a plate of cucumbers. "If I had known, I shouldn't have made breakfast. ”

"Haha, Uncle Wang, you have been in Anxi Village for a short time, isn't Aunt Wang worried?"

Zhou Xin, stood up, put away the dishes, chopsticks, wiped the table, and said this casually, Wang Anguo said with a smile. "I won't go to my daughter's house, I'll come back in a few days, I'll let your Aunt Wang move over, she's not in good health, breathe more fresh air, and taste your high-selenium-rich vegetables." ”

"That's a good idea. ”

Zhou Xin stacked the dishes, put them in the basin, and went to the creek to scrub them later.

Yunshui Hotel, purchasing cars, this will also quietly enter the village. "You go first, I'll walk around the village, and when I go, pick me up again. The small director of the purchasing department whispered to a few buyers.

A few people didn't quite understand, but the director ordered, and a few people only nodded. Meng Guohua, came to the big pond at the entrance of the village, where the women gathered by the pond, scrubbing the dishes and chopsticks, beating clothes, and chatting lively.

"The eldest sisters are busy. "Meng Guohua, come here.

"Huh, outsiders?"

"What's the matter?"

Women are still quite wary of outsiders, after all, the young people in the village have gone out to work, and few of the pillars of the family are at home, even if they are at home, they still have crafts and work, and they go out to the town early in the morning to work.

Meng Guohua, smiling, handed over the cigarette, don't say it, whether it will be or not, one by one stretched out his hand. "Zhonghua, I heard that one is a few dollars, and I keep it for the child's father. ”

"Really?"

Meng Guohua couldn't cry or laugh, and a bag of Chinese was all for the old ladies, but fortunately, he got a lot of news. "Hehe, I'm here to travel, don't go back, I heard that the vegetables grown in the village are good, and there is no pollution naturally, so I plan to buy some and go back to my wife to taste." ”

"It's still a filial son. ”

"Hehe, I heard that the top of the vegetables on the mountain is good. Meng Guohua, tentatively, said.

"On the mountain, not a single hairy man has grown up, a little hairy boy, what kind of vegetables will he grow. "Ermao's mother, I don't have a good impression of Zhou Xin, I don't say anything bad about Zhou Xin in private, I will listen to Meng Guohua say, the food on the mountain, I think of Zhou Xin at once, and scold.

Meng Guohua smiled secretly, it seems that the relationship between the boy on the mountain and these old ladies in the village is not good, this is good, Meng Guohua is busy agreeing. "I also think that it's better to grow vegetables that we're used to doing, a few big sisters, you see, it's not easy for me to come here, if you have more vegetables, give it to me, the price is definitely higher than the market, you see." ”

"Really?"

Who doesn't have a vegetable garden, who doesn't have more vegetables in the vegetable garden, good guys, women are energetic, especially the fat girl's vegetable price is as high as Zhou Xin. "This eldest sister, this price is too high. Meng Guohua couldn't cry or laugh.

"What's high, hairy boy, you can sell vegetables at this price, what's the matter, we're not as good as hairy boys. The fat girl raised her voice and snorted, Meng Guohua said busily. "This person is sold to a big hotel, and I eat it at my own house. ”

"Okay, half the price for you. ”

Meng Guohua scolded in his heart, these old ladies are really difficult, forget it, hurry up and buy it, go back to the test, complete the things explained by Mr. Gao, and compare with these old ladies, it's too bad.

Good guy, Meng Guohua, this harvest, in less than half an hour, got five or six baskets of vegetables, this is still, each family is afraid of picking too much, can't sell it, more than 100 catties, spent a thousand yuan, Meng Guohua smiled bitterly and moved the basket to the entrance of the village.

These old ladies, one by one, were not willing to help, Meng Guohua, too lazy to talk to these people, just waiting for the mountain cart to come down.

"Came, Director Meng didn't come today?"

Zhou Xin, a little puzzled, this Director Meng usually comes again and again, not to mention picking, a little bit, the posture of inspecting dishes. "Director Meng has something to do, it's delayed, the dishes are all here?"

"Yes. ”

Zhou Xin, nodded the pergola vegetables, and said. "Chef Guo called me and asked me to pick more. ”

"Okay, let's overdo it. ”

Calculated down, more than 200 catties, plus watermelon, calculated down, 3,600 yuan, Yunshui Hotel and Zhou Xin cooperated, began to settle one at a time, and now half a month to settle the bill, help a few people, vegetables transported to the car, Zhou Xin, clapping his hands, planning to go to the village to find the old man Gao, total, total, clean up the weeds at the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Xin, the weeds at the foot of the mountain, have long been blind, a trip to muddy water weeds, not to mention the impact on the appearance, mosquitoes alone are enough for people to scratch their heads, Zhou Xin, several times through the weeds were taken care of by mosquitoes, take advantage of the now, dig their own ponds, throttle streams, and deal with the grassland.

"Director Meng, where did you get such a dish?"

"What do you do with so much, hurry up, bring me the dishes, don't get confused. "Meng Guohua was angry with the old ladies, and several purchasers stepped on the thunder and were talked about for a while.

"Meng Guohua, this guy, what are you doing at the entrance of the village?" Zhou Xin muttered, looking at it, it looked like a basket containing something.

Zhou Xin muttered, this person is strange, he can't go up the mountain when he comes to Anxi, Zhou Xin shook his head, forget it, there's no time to delay, clean up the weeds early, dig a small pond, store water, and plant some lotus flowers, the scenery on and off the mountain is better.

Private vegetable shop, don't you pay attention to this tune, Zhou Xin came to find Old Man Gao, Guo Xiaodi just got up, and Zhou Xin hit it. "Ah, you guy, I didn't see it, we were brushing our teeth, so reckless. ”

"It's just, I don't know, beautiful women can't be seen casually without makeup. "Zhao Ying, this girl, I like to find Zhou Xin's stubble the most, Zhou Xin, I don't bother to pay attention to a few little girls. "Is Uncle Gao at home?"

"Who, it's Xiao Zhou, come in and sit. ”

Master Gao said with a smile. "A few girls, tinkering at night in the middle of the night. ”

Uncle Gao pulled, Zhou Xin, to the side and sat down. "Eat something at Uncle's place. ”

"No, I just ate, Uncle Gao, I have something to do today, I want you to help. "Zhou Xin, talk to Uncle Gao about the weeds. "Okay, there are still a few old bars at home, I'll go and tell them, when will it start?"

"Anytime, as soon as possible. Zhou Xin said. "The salary is calculated according to the previous day, do you think it's okay?"

"What's the matter, this salary is counted as a part of Anxi, okay, I'll go find someone." "Uncle Gao, knock on the dry tobacco stick. "Xiaodi, breakfast is in the pot, and there is something wrong with the grandfather going out. ”
