Chapter 158: Cabbage and Radish
In the northern Rongcheng, the first snow came quietly in one night, the snow was not big, the slightest piece of snow, but it still put a layer of white winter clothes on the distant mountains and land.
However, when the sun came out, except for some shady places where the snow had not melted, the snow in other places had gradually melted
The cabbage and radish in the field are ready to be harvested.
This season of harvest cabbage and radish is the best taste
In Dujia Village, next to Taoyuan Villa, there is a common threshing ground in the village, which is used to buy cabbage, and on the bluestone road next to it, there are already several horse-drawn carriages of Taoyuan Villa waiting here early.
The peasants in Dujia Village were full of joy at this time, some of them carried them with their burdens, some pushed them with small carts, cut down the cabbages in their fields, and pulled out large radishes
The elderly and children in the family are also in the battle, because this is the first income that can be obtained in this winter.
I don't know how much I can earn, but these people know in their hearts that the owner of Taoyuan Villa will not treat everyone badly.
A load of cabbage and a cartload of turnips were quickly transported to the threshing floor.
And the steward Zheng who took office was working with a steward Li sent by Uncle Wang, settling accounts while passing the scales, because Gu Xinyu had already set the price for cabbage and radish before, and the price per catty of cabbage was three yuan, and the price of radish was two yuan
This is based on the current price of vegetables, but what? The price set by Gu Xinyu is still higher than when they usually sell it, because they will not keep it or pickle it every year, they will put these cabbages in the cellar or dry them, or freeze them, but when the real winter comes, the cabbage in the cellar will rot layer by layer, because the temperature difference between the two sides should not be too different, and it is not good to ventilate
Then dry the cabbage. The taste is not good either. What about frozen cabbage? Well, whether it's stewed or fried, it takes a lot of oil, so that's it. This cabbage is not everyone's favorite
Many people use it to feed pigs
Relatively comparatively. Turnips are ok. But it is also very troublesome to store, these turnips, are put in the cellar. Because if it's frozen, you can't eat it at all.
You can't stay in the cellar for too long, and after a long time, the turnip will turn black from the heart until it goes bad.
The best thing to do is to dry the dried radish
Some old people muttered in private, I don't know what Taoyuan Villa is doing with these cabbages and radishes? How much can you pickle pickled cabbage? I don't know what she's going to do, and where are so many turnips to put in?
And the sons of their family will tell these old people not to worry about eating radishes here, the owner of Taoyuan Villa is a very smart person, just like a fairy in the sky, she knows everything, and whatever can be turned into silver in her hands.
The village chief also told everyone not to worry, just pick the best cabbage and radish and bring them, and don't harm the owner's family
These people in Dujia Village are all smiling, just experienced the autumn harvest and picking mountain grapes, and now another crop of vegetables in the field can be exchanged for silver, no matter how much can be exchanged, at least in the New Year, can buy more firecrackers for his son, maybe he can weigh back two catties of meat.
Under the organization of the village chief and the patriarch, these people patted the team and waited patiently
Among these people, the most harvested cabbage and radish is Du Tiehua's family, whose family planted eight acres of land with cabbage and radish, as well as the front and back of the house
Moreover, Du Tiehua served this land very carefully and took care of it very carefully, so after weighing, Du Tiehua's family collected more than 30 taels of silver for cabbage and radish alone, which can make other people's eyes red enough.
How could they have thought that they would earn so much silver just for these worthless vegetables, and in the past, their family's eight acres of thin fields were the worst harvest in the whole village.
Although this autumn, everyone made a lot of money by picking mountain grapes, but with silver, there are suddenly more places to spend money.
The elderly who are sick in the family need to see a doctor, the house needs to be repaired, and the son needs to marry.
When there was no time before, it was just that, if you were sick, you would hold the house, as long as it did not leak, you would live if you could live, which was a common life phenomenon of many people in the Zhou Dynasty nowadays.
Therefore, Dujia Village has undergone earth-shaking changes this year, and many thatched houses have become large tiled houses.
Some families have lived in the same house for several generations, and now they have to divide their children one after another when they have the conditions, so although Dujia Village is still more than 200 households in the past.
But now, on the whole, it has become much bigger and more magnificent, so the sons of the resort do not worry about marrying daughters-in-law, and the girls do not worry about getting married
However, after such a toss, many people's families have gone into the little money they earned, and Du Tiehua's family, only a few daughters have not yet reached the age of saying kiss, and their family still has some savings in comparison.
If this person is lucky, this can't be stopped, look at the Zheng family's current ability
So this also caused her mother-in-law to have red eyes towards her like an enemy, and the old woman standing not far from the crowd stared at Zheng viciously, she never thought that the hen that couldn't lay eggs back then couldn't give birth to a son was standing there in a decent way.
also became the steward of the villa, and wanted to step forward and tear her face fiercely, but this woman didn't dare.
Because before coming, his second son instructed and instructed, and repeatedly told her that now the identity of the sister-in-law is not what it used to be, but it is not like before, she is now a person with status, she is the manager of the villa, and behind her stands Gu Xinyu, the owner of the villa.
Although Du Tiezhu was disdainful in his heart, he was also waiting to see Zheng's jokes
The old lady, followed by her daughter-in-law, and the old man also pushed some cabbage and radish, they were originally last in line, but the old woman came to the front at this time, rushed to the front, and said to the others: "Call me first, you are all behind, this is my daughter-in-law, how can there be a reason to let my mother-in-law wait behind!" ”
Old man Du didn't have time to stop it, looking at Mrs. Du's stupidity, he hurriedly signaled his daughter-in-law to hurry up and pull the person back
I regret it very much in my heart, why did I relent and agree to her for a while?
An old woman next to her sneered: "Cut, you old woman, are you embarrassed to say that this is your daughter-in-law?" Who wanted to sell someone's daughter to his eldest grandson for tuition a few days ago? (To be continued.) )
