Chapter 21 Picking Lotus Seeds
In the afternoon, the thyme went down to the pond.
The people in the village were very surprised when they saw the thyme coming down the pond.
In the eyes of the people in the village, thyme is the kind of lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, but she doesn't want thyme to go down to the pond like the women in the village.
All of a sudden, the image of thyme has changed in the hearts of many people in the village.
If it is said that most of the people in the village rejected thyme before, on the one hand, it was because the people in the village felt that there was a gap between their identity and thyme.
So as soon as today's incident happened, the people in the village suddenly felt that Thyme was actually an ordinary person, and the distance was naturally much closer.
Xiahou Yuchen didn't practice calligraphy at this time, but stood on the ridge and waited for the thyme to hand him the picked lotus pod.
Many lotus leaves have withered yellow, thyme is easy to find those ripe lotus pods, the pond is so big, there are naturally a lot of lotus pods, the reason why thyme is so anxious is also because the lotus seeds in this lotus pod are of high value.
She had already thought about it, and in a few days she would ask the people in the village to help dig up the lotus roots, and as for the sale, the thyme did not want to bother too much, so she would go to the town tomorrow to see if there were any vegetable vendors who had been in business for a long time who were willing to buy it.
If there is thyme, sell it directly.
There are a lot of lotus flowers, and they are also easy to pick. Xiahou Yuchen, who was standing on the ridge, didn't know how many times he had gone back and forth between his home and the ridge.
Because the village is not big, and Li Zheng's family also has fields, Aunt Xiang heard the people in the village say that thyme was picking lotus pods in the pond, so she hurried over, in fact, she just wanted to help.
Seeing Xiahou Yuchen squatting on the ridge and looking at the direction of the pond seriously, Aunt Xiang's eyes also followed.
Thyme struggled to walk in the pond.
Because to avoid the lotus root below, the thyme must be careful step by step.
"Mrs. Xiahou, why did you go to the pond?"
As soon as Thyme heard the voice, she knew that it was Aunt Xiang's, so she hurriedly raised her head and said to Aunt Xiang with a smile: "It turned out to be Aunt Xiang, the lotus pod can already be picked, and it would be a pity if the lotus seeds fell into the water if it was late, so I went down to the pond to pick." ”
As he spoke, Thyme had already carried the basket in his hand and walked towards the shore.
Thyme's clothes were covered in mud, but this appearance did not diminish the beauty that Thyme exuded.
Carrying the basket to the edge of the ridge, Xiahou Yuchen naturally took the basket in thyme's hand, but at this time Thyme said to Xiahou Yuchen: "Chen'er is called Auntie." ”
Xiahou Yuchen knew that Aunt Xiang helped Thyme yesterday, and he was very grateful, so he looked at Aunt Xiang with a smile and shouted, "Auntie." ”
The smile on Aunt Xiang's face was even more obvious.
"Chen'er is so good."
Thyme had already gone up to the ridge at this time, took the basket in Chen'er's hand and handed it to Aunt Xiang: "Originally, I said that I would come to your house to find you, but now that you are here, I will save me a trip, you can take this lotus canopy." ”
As he spoke, Thyme handed it to Aunt Xiang.
Aunt Xiang waved her hand again and again: "How can I ask for your things, this can't be helped, you worked so hard to pick it, I am embarrassed to ...... there." ”
Before Aunt Xiang finished speaking, Thyme interrupted Aunt Xiang: "If you ask you to take it, you will be polite." This lotus seed nourishes the qi, and you eat it better, you can take it home and stew the chicken in the lotus heart and lotus skin. ”
Aunt Xiang still wanted to refuse, but Thyme's face changed and she said, "If you really want to treat me as your own, take it." ”
After saying that, Thyme didn't care about Aunt Xiang and put the basket directly in Aunt Xiang's hand.
Yesterday, for Aunt Xiang helping her come forward, Thyme was very grateful.
Aunt Xiang is also a straightforward temper, and she also wants to make good friends with thyme, so she said with a smile: "Then Aunt I'm not welcome, I'll take this thing, I just heard the people in the village say that you are picking lotus pods and want to come over to help, by the way, what about the lotus root in your pond?" ”
Thyme didn't hide it and said, "I'm going to wait for a while to ask someone to dig up the lotus root and pull it to the town to sell." ”
Hearing thyme say this, Aunt Xiang couldn't help but say: "If you can trust me, I will help with this matter, my cousin sells vegetables in the town, if you believe me, I will invite my cousin to your house to collect this lotus root, but the price will definitely be a little lower than the market price, but I can guarantee that my cousin can collect the lotus root in this pond." ”
Hearing Aunt Xiang say this, Thyme's eyes suddenly lit up.
In this way, you can save a lot of trouble, but it is just a little less money, and thyme is naturally willing to have less trouble.
"That's great, Aunt Xiang looks at what you say, I naturally believe you, and I want to thank you, this saves me a lot of trouble, I can't ask for it, please ask Aunt Xiang to help me talk about this matter." Thyme said gratefully.
Being believed to be a happy thing is even brighter, and the smile on Aunt Xiang's face is even brighter.
"I think so! Tomorrow I will go to the town to tell my cousin, he sells vegetables in the town all the year round, and he definitely needs lotus roots, there are really not many people who plant lotus roots in ten miles and eight towns around here, you are welcome to this matter, if you become my cousin, you will also make money. "Aunt Xiang is also straightforward.
Thyme said gratefully: "Then thank you Aunt Xiang." ”
Aunt Xiang saw that the clothes on thyme's body were wet, and she was afraid that thyme would catch the wind and cold after staying outside for a long time, so she said: "I won't bother you anymore, you go home and change your clothes, and I will give you an answer when I come back tomorrow, thank you for this lotus seed." ”
After sending Aunt Xiang away, Thyme went home directly to change her clothes.
It was still early, so Xiahou Yuchen continued to practice calligraphy, while Thyme peeled out the lotus seeds in the yard to dry.
The next day, Thyme packed the ginseng in a wooden box, and went straight to the town without anything else.
Thyme left early, also for fear of running into people in the village. Thyme has always been cautious in doing things.
There are still stars hanging in the sky, and Thyme is not afraid of walking at night, and it is quiet to walk on the path at this time.
When I arrived in the town, it was dawn, and there were many people at the gate of the city, most of whom were farmers who carried things into the city to sell things.
Thyme has only one cloth bag in her hand, and the box is also packed in the cloth bag, such a light dress is very conspicuous in the crowd, and Thyme is a pretty little lady, which has attracted a lot of attention.
Thyme didn't care about the eyes of others, just walked quietly, followed the crowd and went directly into the city, without too much delay, Thyme went directly to Tongjitang.
