Chapter 136: Tail

In the late 90s, the value of wild vegetables began to be sought after in the city, and wild vegetables are often much more expensive than ordinary vegetables.

It's still the late 80s, and the material life is still relatively scarce, and I haven't paid attention to things like dietary therapy, dietary nutrition, and green food.

It's just that many urban residents who have been to the mountains and countryside have eaten some wild vegetables when they were educated youths, and many people have a bittersweet mentality when they see wild vegetables on the market for sale, so every time they bring wild vegetables into the city, although they can't sell them at a higher price than ordinary vegetables, they can still sell them at a celery price, 2 jiao 5 a catty.

For this situation, Yu Mingyue is quite satisfied, this season, on the side of the mountain and the ditch, wild celery can be seen everywhere, plus Yu Mingyue now has a space that can be quite good with this function, let go of the harvest, and get a few hundred catties a day is not a problem.

As for the relatively scarce wild bracken, sugar pear flower, bitter thorn flower, turtledove and folded ear root on the mountain, on the one hand, because the number on the mountain is limited, on the other hand, because it is not easy to pick, so the price is relatively high, and it can be sold for 3 jiao 5 to 4 jiao.

Don't look at the price is a lot higher, but even if Yu Mingyue climbs the mountain and uses the space to cheat, at the end of the day, the amount of picking these wild vegetables can only get a few dozen catties each.

Of course, Yu Mingyue will not be stupid to take out the wild vegetables she picks every day, except for taking out three or two catties every day before going home to make a show, the rest are stored in the space by her.

Don't underestimate this thing, in fact, as a doll less than six years old, she can pick ten catties of wild vegetables every day, which has surprised several adults in Yu Mingyue's family.

Like Kong Mingying, seeing Yu Mingyue earning so many three or four yuan with such hard work, she was already distressed, and after a few stops to no avail, she had to tell Yu Mingyue again and again to let Yu Mingyue not bring so many things every day, saying that children often carry heavy things for fear of not growing tall.

On the first day of the first month of March, Yu Mingyue fed the rabbits and other items at home early, cooked the meal, and after eating it to her heart's content, she warmed the food in the pot, and put on the small basket on her back before ten o'clock, and prepared to go to the red clay slope to meet Kong Xinggang, and then go up the mountain together.

As soon as the gate was closed and was about to be locked, Kong Mingying rushed back with a hoe.

"Xiaoyue, you're tired and panicked running up the mountain every day, don't go today, stay at home for a day." While walking towards the gate, Kong Mingying and Yu Mingyue discussed.

Hearing Kong Mingying's voice, Yu Mingyue turned around with a smile on her face, shook her head and said coquettishly: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not tired, besides, I also like to climb mountains, and every time I pick wild vegetables, my uncle helps me carry them back, and today we are going to see the traps on the side of the mountains." ”

After speaking, seeing that Kong Mingying was going to persuade again, Yu Mingyue hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Grandma, why are you back?" Is the water in the valley well filled in the morning? When Kong Xiaoyu and Kong Mingying went out in the morning, Yu Mingyue heard them say that they were going to water the corn in the morning market.

"You, this little slippery head, do you want to interrupt again?" Kong Mingying walked to the gate, stretched out his hand and poked Yu Mingyue's little head, and said: "Tender bun grain backpack, this time the irrigation is going to add some fertilizer by the way, I will go home and get a bucket, go to the village to pick a few loads of ammonia water and pour it in, when these buns of grain are sold, they should be larger." ”

Yu Mingyue also often goes to the edge of her corn field to find rabbit grass, for the growth of early corn in the field, Yu Mingyue is still clear in her heart, now the corn has begun to hang the bag, it is really good to apply a fertilizer, although it costs more than ten yuan to buy a few picks of ammonia this time, but when the corn is sold, the yield can increase by at least a few hundred catties.

Kong Mingying still had business at hand, and seeing that Yu Mingyue was determined to go up the mountain, he also told Yu Mingyue a few words to be careful of the insects and snakes on the mountain, and to carry less heavy objects, and so on, and no longer forced it.

After Yu Mingyue got off one by one, she spread her legs and ran to the red clay slope, how she said it was also an adult's mind, she knew that children carried too many heavy objects, in her previous life, she didn't understand it because she was young, and the conditions were also difficult, so now every time she comes back from the mountain, she takes out that little thing from the space, most of which her brother-in-law helped her carry back.

When Yu Mingyue arrived at the red clay slope, Kong Xinggang was already waiting on the side of the cattle road outside the gate of his house, and saw Yu Mingyue walking along the cattle road from a distance

Kong Xinggang went home and drove the sheep out.

Kong Xinggang is now very interested in picking wild vegetables from the mountains to sell, after all, he is already a 16-year-old young man, so he is stronger than a doll in picking ability, picking back twenty or thirty catties of wild vegetables every day, and then let his two brothers take them into the city to sell early the next morning, and he can get ten yuan a day.

For this sudden 300 yuan a month more than 300 yuan of no capital business, Kong Xinggang is very serious, he is like herding sheep every day, picking wild vegetables is a handy thing, at this time Kong Xinggang began to plan again, picking wild vegetables for another half a month, ready to go to the city, to buy a 400 yuan TV set for the family.

The uncle and nephew came to the edge of the deep mountain, and as soon as Kong Xing drove the sheep into the small bushes below the road, he discussed the time of the meeting with Yu Mingyue, and after repeatedly telling Yu Mingyue to pay attention to safety or something, they went their separate ways.

To say that the two of them did not go all the way up the mountain, but acted separately, it was Yu Mingyue who proposed it at the beginning.

Yu Mingyue knows very well that she has a space weapon, and it is the time to harvest in this season, but this weapon can never be shown, if she picks wild vegetables with Kong Xinggang all the way, she wants to use this space that is more invincible than the harvester in terms of picking, it will definitely be discovered by Kong Xinggang.

Yu Mingyue buried her head and climbed for more than half an hour, and finally came to a bracken forest, this place, a week ago, she had already come to pick it again, her eyes searched in the bracken forest, and saw that like mushrooms after a rain, three or three pieces of meat sprung up from the ground with a height ranging from one foot to half a foot, Yu Mingyue curled the corners of her mouth with satisfaction.

"Hehe, it's growing again, then let me harvest it again."

In a moment's time, with Yu Mingyue as the center, the tender bracken table within a radius of 32 square meters disappeared from the original place in an instant, and then looked at the place where the bracken table originally grew, leaving only a pile about three inches from the ground.

After harvesting this piece of bracken table, Yu Mingyue let go of her steps, and kept walking through the bracken forest under her feet, and everywhere she passed, the large and small tender bracken tables were all included in the space.

"Ah~" Suddenly, when her eyes swept to an earthy yellow moving shadow, Yu Mingyue was so frightened that she stopped and screamed, and when she turned around and wanted to escape, but then when she saw that the object standing in the bracken forest was actually a child about the same age as herself, Yu Mingyue held her chest and gave up the action of running for her life.

"It's you, why don't you keep quiet." Three meters away, there stood a little girl wearing khaki shabby clothes, her hair was unkempt, and her face was dirty like a little flower cat, this guy Yu Mingyue remembered, her name was Xiao Hongmei, her name was Mu Hongmei, in her previous life, she was regarded as a rival on the mountain by Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan sisters.

What is the old enemy on the mountain, this has to start from the previous life.

In the previous life, starting from 90 years, when Yu Mingyue was eight years old and Yu Mingyan was nine years old, the two sisters would go up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables every spring, and sell them at the Daping Township Market for money as expenses for school supplies.

But whether it is the season of picking wild vegetables, the season of wild mushrooms, or the season of vegetable pine nuts, the two sisters will meet this flower-faced cat girl named Mu Hongmei.

These resources on the mountain are limited, and many species grow the most in a specific place, so when Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan sisters go to those places to pick, most of the time they will encounter this little flower-faced cat.

Things are limited, both sides have to pick, then there is competition, Yu Mingyue still clearly remembers that at that time, every time she and her cousin discussed the most, it was this Mu Hongmei.

Every time, she discussed with her cousin how to go up the mountain earlier than Mu Hongmei and how to pick more things.

Over time, the war between the two of them finally broke out in the autumn of 1991 by a chicken fir pit.

Although the nutritional value of chicken fir is not as good as the matsutake mushroom, which is known as the king of fungi in the south, and the monkey's head in the north, Yu Mingyue feels that it is not as good as those two kinds of fungi.

In the township market at that time, the chicken fir was the highest price and the best to sell, which could be sold for 1 yuan a catty.

The cause of the matter has to start with the growth habits of the chicken fir, this fungus begins to grow in the late May of the lunar calendar every year, and has a fixed growth location, and the growth time is about a few days.

In other words, if you pick up chicken fir in this place on the first day of June this year, then next year, on the same place, a few days before and after the first day of June will grow basically the same number of chicken fir trees.

In their previous lives, Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan sisters both knew that the family conditions were not good, and their families could not afford the tuition fees for each semester.

Therefore, for this chicken fir that can be sold at a high price, the two sisters are interested, not only from the mouth of the adult, but also rely on practice, to find out the habits of the chicken fir tree, and deliberately made a small book, recording the place and time of each time they pick up the chicken fir.

The two sisters began to go up the mountain to collect and sell goods in 1989, and in 1991, because of these preparations, the two sisters began to usher in rich results.

On that day, the two sisters surveyed the suitable chicken fir pit according to the records, but because there was no rain for the first two days, the harvest was not much, and when they were about to come to a chicken fir pit with high expectations, the two sisters saw that their opponent was also running under the big pine tree that would grow the chicken fir tree.

"Run!"

"Rush!"

The two sisters didn't have time to communicate with each other, but they both shouted slogans that were almost the same.

The three children all spread their feet and rushed to the chicken fir pit with an output of up to seven or eight catties in previous years from two different directions.

The real emperor lives up to the painstaking people, this chicken fir pit is really powerful this day, it really grows chicken fir fir, and it is the best bone in the quality and price of the early soil.

The two parties, basically at the same time, ran under the big pine tree where the chicken fir grows, but this is not a good thing.

Yu Mingyue remembered very well that for her at that time, this chicken fir should be their sisters, seven or eight yuan is not old or young, she will not give up.

But Mu Hongmei, who also arrived, didn't think so, she felt that she came here today to rush to this chicken fir pit, far away, she seemed to see this chicken fir growing, according to the rules of the mountain, first sight, first served, she would not give up the seven or eight yuan in hand.

The three little girls stood under the big pine tree full of seven or eight catties of chicken fir bones, and no one started to pick the chicken fir in front of them first, but they began to theorize first, and they all said that the chicken fir should be their own.

The theory did not produce results, and after a few words, he began to rob.

"Xiao Hongmei, don't you pull it out, this is our family."

"I'll see it's mine first, get out of here."

"It's you who want to roll, if you dare to rob it again, we will definitely beat you, still grab it, grab it again, you actually pushed me!"

The chicken fir was pulled by the three little girls like a turnip, and quickly snatched it into their back basket, and when the chicken fir became less and less, the war broke out naturally.

They are all children, and they are all anxious to earn more money for their families, who would allow the other party to grab the meat in their mouths.

A scuffle began, the three children fought together first, all eight or nine-year-old girls, Yu Mingyue's sisters blocked one with two, Mu Hongmei was a little invincible, and when she got the opportunity, she began to run away with the basket on her back, and before she ran, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and she actually kicked over the small basket that Yu Mingyue's house had half a basket of chicken fir on.

At this time, the two sisters were in hatred, and when they saw that the chicken fir they exchanged for money was so badly abused by the other party, where could they let it go, Sister Yu Mingyue decisively picked up the weapon on the mountain-withered branches, and began to pursue the fleeing robber.

In the end, it evolved into both sides holding the branches and rattans that were together, chasing in the mountains and forests, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I chase, screams, cries, and scolding resounded throughout the mountains and forests, except for the rustle of the leaves blown by the mountain wind, the insects and birds have long been silenced.

It wasn't until they met two old men herding cattle in the mountains and forests that the war was banned, but since then, they have all remembered each other's hatred and regarded each other as old enemies. R1152
