10. Sell grain
In the early morning, the sunlight outside the window shines through the crack in the window, and the chirping of birds can be heard.
Ren Shiting got up early, came to Ren Xiaoyao's room, patted the door and said to the room: "Brother, I'll go and collect the food first, you get up quickly and wait to move the food." After saying that, he took his tools and hurried to the field.
Ren Xiaoyao was in a daze when he heard the little sister tell her to get up, go to the field to collect grain, open her eyes, rub her cheeks, stretch her waist, and get up from the bed.
I opened the window and saw the sunny weather, so I washed it. After packing up the qiē, I saw that the tools were no longer in their original position, and thought that maybe the little sister had taken them.
After closing the door, Ren Xiaoyao hurried in the direction of the cultivated land. Because my house was not too far from the farmland, I walked for twenty minutes and arrived there, and I saw that my little sister had already cleaned up half of the crops.
However, this potato is also too big, two fists are big, winter melon and radish are even more exaggerated, a winter melon is afraid of a hundred catties, and the radish is like a lotus root, so long. The sweet potato didn't grow, and I don't know how big it is.
Ren Xiaoyao was afraid that the little sister would ask him some strange questions, so he asked first: "Little sister, how did you grow the grain, why is it so big." "Blaming Ren Shiting for this qiē reason is very cunning.
Ren Shiting, who was excitedly harvesting crops, heard Ren Xiaoyao's voice, and originally wanted to wait for Ren Xiaoyao to come and ask Ren Xiaoyao? Who knows, Ren Xiaoyao handed over the problem to her.
Ren Shiting also wondered why she didn't put anything in it, she planted it as usual, how did it grow so big. He said, "No, it's not a normal species." ”
Ren Xiaoyao, who knew the reason, didn't continue to ask, and continued to call Ren Shiting and said: "Maybe it's really my father and mother who bless us and let us live a good life." Ren Shiting was still convinced of this, and nodded vigorously.
Ren Shiting was happy, and Ren Xiaoyao was tragic. Take these crops that can be harvested, and after harvesting, see the potatoes, turnips, and winter melons piled up into a hill. Even if I had room to cheat, how many times would I have to walk through such a small bamboo basket?
Because of the storage problem in ancient times, most people in ancient times chose to grow vegetables that could be kept for a longer time, such as these potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter melons, and radishes.
After Ren Xiaoyao moved vegetables home seven or eight times, he was too tired. It's not so much moving, it's better to walk, but it took forty minutes to go back and forth, seven or eight times, and it took several hours to walk, and Ren Xiaoyao was also sweating profusely.
Looking at the leftover two-thirds of the vegetables and fruits, Ren Xiaoyao said to the little sister who was cleaning up the weeds: "Little sister, move back those that are enough for us to eat until the next season's vegetables are ripe, it is better to sell them, and we can't eat so much if we keep them." ”
Ren Shiting happily agreed to Ren Xiaoyao's decision, she knew better than Ren Xiaoyao that it was impossible for the two of them to eat so much food, just leave a little to eat and pay taxes, and if you can't eat too much, it will rot. However, thinking of her grandparents, Ren Shiting still said, "Leave an extra basket for grandma." ”
Ren Xiaoyao heard Xiaomei's answer and breathed a sigh of relief, if Xiaomei didn't let go and said that she would sell, she would be tired to death. However, I found that Ren Shiting is still relatively smart, if the harvest does not send some food to the elders, the people in the village will make irresponsible remarks.
In fact, where did Ren Shiting think of this, she just thought about it, she was full of complaints about the second uncle and the third uncle's family, she used to work so hard, and no one came to help her.
Ren Xiaoyao took a bamboo basket of grain and took it to the cow egg house, to see if their family could collect it, originally Ren Xiaoyao wanted to directly send this basket of grain to the Ren family's compound, and then call the cow egg to come and collect it. But I don't know why Xiaomei said that she would send it herself when the time came, and asked him to take these grains and send them to Niu Dan's house first, so that Niu Dan could take a look.
Of course he didn't know, Ren Shiting's careful thoughts. When I came to Niu Dan's house, I saw the door of the house open, and walked in directly. I saw a middle-aged woman dressed in bright clothes, saying something to the cow egg.
This woman, Ren Xiaoyao also knows, is the concubine of the village chief of Renjia Village, Qin, who was taken by the village chief when he was seriously ill, and later took her, and the old village chief's illness was cured, so that the old village chief hurt her from outside.
However, the Qin family is a very coquettish person, often getting very close to the men in the village, and has a lot of scandals. He is also a very greedy person, and often takes the things of the village chief's house to the cow egg house and sells them. Don't even think about it, this time I must have stolen the village chief's good things to sell.
After the Qin family left, Ren Xiaoyao joked at Zou and said to the cow egg with a flattering head: "I have returned to my soul, and the person has gone away." ”
Niu Dan came back to his senses when he heard Ren Xiaoyao's voice and said, "What went away?" Hey, where did you get such a big winter melon, this radish is so long, and the potatoes are so big. Seeing the grain brought by Ren Xiaoyao made the cow egg scream. looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a suspicious expression, and said, "You kid, where did you get such a big crop?" ”
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the cow egg strangely, and said: "Where did it come from, this is all planted by my little sister, how can it be big enough, it is guaranteed to be delicious." ”
Ren Xiaoyao hasn't eaten it yet, and he's bragging. However, after seeing the magic of space, he believed that the food irrigated by the river would definitely taste better than before the irrigation.
Seeing that Niu Dan was still looking at the grain, Ren Xiaoyao said, "How about it, do you collect it at home?" There are many more in the field, and they can't finish eating, and they have grown up if they don't pick them. Before the cow egg could make a sound, a voice from the door that was somewhat similar to the cow egg's voice said, "What is too long, free and easy." ”
When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man as thick as a cow egg, carrying a lot of things and walking into the house, his appearance was three points similar to Niu Dan, and it could be seen from his figure and appearance that this man was the old man of Niu Dan - Ren Ah Niu.
Ren Xiaoyao said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Niu, I made a lot of money when I went to the county, and my face was full of red light." ”
Seeing that his Lao Tzu was back, Niu Dan hurriedly got up and took the things in his hand, and said, "Dad, Xiaoyao brought some very large grains over, saying that he was going to sell them, and it would be too long if he didn't sell them." ”
Ren Aniu heard this and said, "Oh, what big grain? He was very curious, he knew that Ren Xiaoyao's family had two acres of land, and it would be good if he could support their two brothers and sisters, and there was more to sell?
Hearing Uncle Niu's words, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly picked up a big winter melon in the bamboo basket, walked to Ren Niu's side and said, "Uncle Niu, look, this winter melon is big!" This is planted by my little sister, and the crops in the field are more than usual, and they are very tasty. ”
Ren Xiaoyao pretended not to know what to do and said, but after saying that, he had goosebumps and felt very idiotic.
Ren Aniu looked at the big winter melon in Ren Xiaoyao's hand, and lost his words for a while, although their family does not farm, but they have been doing business for so long as the villagers, and they have not seen such a big winter melon, and when they walked to the bamboo basket, they saw two fist-sized potatoes and radishes as long as lotus roots, and they were amazed.
Seeing Ren Aniu's expression, Ren Xiaoyao knew that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Aniu, I really don't lie to you, it's really much better than ordinary food." ”
Ren Aniu said with a smile; "Hehe, you kid, Uncle Niu didn't say no, what's the hurry?" After speaking, he picked up a radish from the bamboo basket, washed it, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it raw.
Refreshing, sweet, and can be eaten as a fruit. This was Ren Aniu's first thought after eating a bite of radish, but he often went out of the county town to deal with profiteers, and Ren Aniu had long been exposed. opened his mouth and said, "Well, it's delicious, is your family enough to eat?" Still selling? ”
Ren Xiaoyao continued to pretend to be Xiaobai, and said very simply: "I moved home seven or eight times, enough for me and my little sister to eat until the next season, and now there are still two-thirds in the field." ”
When Ren Aniu heard Ren Xiao's reply, he immediately made a decision, the winter melon and radish were collected for two cents a catty, and the potatoes were collected for five cents a catty, and the cow egg was pulled by the family's wooden cart - the trolley to take it back.
Ren Aniu has been out of the county for a long time, and there are several inns and rich and noble families that he has provided food for a long time, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell it, and this radish is really delicious, and after Ren Yao left, he ate a radish and washed another one to eat.
