Chapter 47: Hit
This year's spring came earlier than in previous years, only the fifteenth day of the lunar month hit the spring, and the New Year just caught up with the rain in the twenty-four solar terms, fortunately, the first and second days of the new year were sunny and very good, and it did not start to rain until the third day of the new year.
Spring rain is as expensive as oil.
The wheat seedlings in the field are drenched in the rain and grow happily.
On the second day of February, it was already the spring equinox. When it comes to the spring equinox, the day and night are equally divided, and the winter wheat also enters the jointing stage, rushing upwards and whirring, and buds will be broken in a short time.
The mischievous children began to make willow flutes out of tender wicker sticks and play with them. Some children smoked the wheat buds, folded the core, and blew it. Dandelions are flying all over the sky, and wildflowers are everywhere. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the days pass by in a flash when leading the cattle slowly across the ridges.
The green grass spread all over the feet, and there were also children who recognized the herbs and went to pick half a lotus, prunella vulgaris, plantain, and verbena...... I sold it for money and exchanged it for candy people to eat.
Herbs, herbs, most herbs are medicines, and it depends on whether people recognize them or not. The people in the bay are quite rustic, there is one person who recognizes a certain herb, and it doesn't take long for most of the people in the bay to recognize this herb, and generally there is no case where someone takes the herb and sells it to a neighbor.
This is true for neighbors, let alone relatives.
It's the same for the method of storing fruits and vegetables that Wang Jing has come up with now. If the Shen family came forward and asked the Zhang family openly, even if Wang Jing found out about this recipe, the Zhang family would give it to the Zhang family with both hands, and it hurt to talk about the silver. If the Shen family is a man and makes money with Wang Jing's recipe, they will in turn make up for the Liu family in other ways, which is the way to get along with close relatives.
It's a pity that the Shen family treats others with himself, and feels that he won't give it to his sister-in-law if he wants it, so he has to let his daughter get it secretly.
However, Wang Jing didn't lie to Sister Dan, under the calamus, it is indeed just a septic tank, and it is still a defective product!
Wang Jing's original meaning was that she felt that the open manure tank was polluting the environment, and she wanted to make the best use of it as a biogas tank.
The reality is not so wishy-washy, Liu Chenggui can only dig it out, but sealing is a big problem, there is no cement and lime, and the local craftsmen who connect the pipeline can't do it, Wang Jing had to take pumpkin vines and bamboo poles to lead the biogas to the sweet potato cellar, which stored the peaches.
At first, she also wanted to make a lot of money in this way, but in the blink of an eye, she considered that this method of preserving peaches was done by dunging "qi" after all, if those dignitaries and nobles knew, would anyone still be willing to eat this peach?
So this secret is not clear except for Liu Yongan, even Liu Chengfang and his wife.
Wang Jing specially instructed Liu Yongan again, "You must not say that you know about this with others." ”
"Even if the cousin of the Qiao family asked, didn't he say it?" Liu Yongan asked her.
"Of course, this is our family's secret, what's the matter with my cousin?" Wang Jing said as a matter of course.
It turns out that in my sister's heart, "we" are a family, and my cousin is just a cousin!
For some reason, when Liu Yongan heard this, his smile couldn't stop overflowing to his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth, and every pore on his body was full of comfort.
"This is my secret with my sister, even if my mother asks me, I won't tell it." Liu Yongan assured her.
Yes, Zhang saw the fresh peaches in the middle of winter and asked them where they came from, and both of them remained silent.
"Mother is so busy all day, why should you worry about this little thing." Liu Yongan said righteously.
Anyway, it's not a bad thing, if you don't want to say it, you don't want to, so Zhang didn't ask any further.
So when Sister Dan asked her, she really didn't know.
But Sister Dan didn't think so, she only felt that everyone in the Liu family, including her aunt, had lied to her. It was because of this that he forced Wang Jing to let her go down to have a look.
A pool of stinky dung, what's there to look at?
However, Wang Jing didn't just know Sister Dan today, she knew that she had always been used to doing her own thing, and the more she was not allowed to do or couldn't do it, the more she would want to do it. If you really want to fall into the manure tank, I'm afraid that the Shen family will hate even the Zhang family.
"Mother, my cousin doesn't know what's wrong, I want to go down to our manure tank to have a look." She said to Zhang.
Zhang frowned and said: "If you want to see it, you can watch it, she is as stubborn as a cow, and she doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back." ”
Although it was a niece, the girl in front of her was always raised by herself. In comparison, she still has a deeper relationship with Sister Jing, can be impartial, and is already worthy of her sister-in-law.
However, in private, the Zhang family still comforted Sister Dan, "Sister Jing said you want to jump into the manure tank?" It stinks to death, what are you doing jumping there? When girls are older, they should learn to be more lenient so that they can be likable. ”
Isn't my aunt obviously telling her that she is not as generous as Sister Jing?
Wild girl! He even sued me behind my back! What a bully!
Sister Dan'er's anger climbed to its peak when she saw Qiao Chaoyang.
He wore a pure white silk robe today, with a hosta on his head, and a piece of fine jade hanging from his waist, but his facial features were even better than those of beautiful jade, not to mention the bearing of his body, elegant and gentle, and his demeanor was outstanding, so that people were reluctant to look away when they saw it.
However, such an excellent and handsome son, but only the wild girl is good alone!
"Cousin, look at the gift I brought you, do you like it?" Qiao Chaoyang asked Wang Jing with a chuckle.
His voice, low and mellow, coupled with the unique hoarseness of the voice change period, listened to Sister Dan'er's ears, just like a layer of mussel wrapped in a layer of fine wine, which is very beautiful.
It's a pity that he would never ask himself that!
Sister Dan clenched her fists involuntarily, and she didn't even feel her nails digging into her palms.
"Cousin, is this a foal? Do you really want to give it to me as a gift? Wang Jing asked, "I haven't taken care of the horses......
"It's not easy! I knew you couldn't take care of it, so I brought you someone who took care of it. Qiao Chaoyang waved his hand, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy stepped forward and bowed to say hello to Wang Jing. His ancestors raised horses, so it doesn't hurt to borrow them from you for a while. ”
Wang Jing thanked with a smile.
I actually gave her a pure white foal! There are also people who specialize in horse breeding!
If my aunt hadn't raised this wild girl in the first place, this foal might have been hers! And the big white dog and the envious eyes of everyone!
"Sister Jing! We made a bet last year, do you remember? You're going to give me a cart of peach plums this year, and if you lose, not only will you give me the dog your cousin gave you last year, but you'll also have to take this year's foal! Besides, you promised to show me the contents under the calamus, but you didn't let me see it for so long, you don't want to play tricks, do you? ”
Due to the early establishment of spring this year, the corresponding wheat ripened early, and the Dragon Boat Festival was more than one or twenty days after the mango planting, which was not the busiest time of the year. The Zhang family also came, and the ones who came were Shen and Cai's concubines.
Hearing this, Wang Jing couldn't help but glance at Shen in embarrassment.
Shen felt that this was Wang Jing's weak heart, and pretended not to see it, but instead started a family routine with Liu Yongan's aunts.
Wang Jing couldn't help but say helplessly: "Cousin Dan, it's really a septic tank down there, so don't look at it." ”
"I just haven't seen a septic tank like this, so I thought I wanted to see it, and besides, this is what you promised me, you have to talk about it!" Sister Dan didn't give an inch.
"Then, let's go." Wang Jing was secretly funny.
Fortunately, it is not far, just a few steps away.
Fu Bo opened the lid of the pool, the pungent smell came to his face, and the people who followed him covered their noses, only Sister Dan opened her eyes wide and stretched her neck to look in, but it was black and mushy, and she couldn't see anything.
Could it be that the peaches are kept fresh here? If only I could get some of them.
Sister Dan was pondering, and she was hit by someone unexpectedly, and her eyes went black and fell on top of the black object.
