Chapter 20: The Mother Who Decided to Return to Her Hometown
In the Longmen Array in the evening, under Liu Yi's interruption, the nearby villagers who came were fiercely discussing the topic of vegetables. Liu Yi's surprise to them was too great, and Dayou immediately went back to level the land and grow vegetables.
Seeing this enthusiasm, Liu Yi still cooled down with the surrounding villagers, "Uncles and uncles, elders, brothers. Don't be excited, now the vegetables in my two greenhouses are not popular with high-end restaurants in Shancheng City, there is no fruit, the vegetables have not been harvested, they have not been sold, others have not eaten, how do you know if the road is good? But now I state that no matter what, I will let you know as soon as the results are out."
"It's all high-tech vegetables, can it be popular"? Obviously, people are old and refined, and my cousin Liu Huande immediately took over.
"It's not a remorse," it wasn't the turn of Liu Huanlun, the uncle of the small hall in the next room, to speak today, and now he came to say.
"Say something, is this an outsider? Liu Yi doesn't think so, and he can still talk so much nonsense to you," the uncle casually taught him a lesson. Uncle Liu Huanlun in the next room was a little afraid of my uncle since he was a child, it was in the era of famine, Uncle Liu Huanlun was messing around outside, and was caught and beaten several times by the uncle Zhilu Dao, and once he accidentally hit hard and was seen by his parents, asking the reason. After Uncle Xiaotang was beaten by the uncle for stealing chickens and dogs outside, Uncle Xiaotang's family not only did not give him trouble to make the decision, but also picked up the ringing rod behind the door (the bamboo pole was cut at one end, mainly used to drive out birds and livestock, and was often used to drive away sparrows, chickens and ducks that stole food) and continued to stick to Uncle Xiaotang a few times.
Liu Yi said to everyone, "The most rear, in the lobby of the next room, Bo Liu Huande spoke.
"I didn't make it clear to everyone, so I'm sure I won't regret it. I mean, don't get too happy too soon, even if vegetables are selling well, they're expensive. But everyone considers that the cost of planting vegetables is not, and the seeds and fertilizers are all new varieties, so the price is also high. It is still necessary to calm down and think about it, and think clearly about how much area to plant in the future, how much money to invest, and after the weather is cool in a short time, if you plant vegetables, you have to ensure that it grows smoothly, etc."
"Well, yes, that's it"
"Why didn't I think of it, it's still Liu Yi's baby who is thoughtful"
"I think there is an opportunity for everyone to get together and discuss, and if you make a list, you won't be afraid of chaos."
“”
Seeing that the villagers began to talk about it, Liu Yi was speechless. The uncle's face next to him also changed, maybe he couldn't stand it anymore, "Enough, what are you arguing about yet, wait for Liu Yi's vegetables to be sold, and then discuss when the response is good, it's not early, let's go home" took out the leader of the villagers' group, waved his hand and turned around and went home first. The crowd didn't say anything, seeing that the sky was indeed dark, and they went home thoughtfully.
Liu Yi thought a lot in the evening, it is true that the market has not yet opened, and what he is talking about now is too beautiful things, just painting cakes to satisfy hunger. If you want to open the market quickly, you don't have a good way to do it, and you don't feel that you have a little Meng Lang.
"Jingle bell, ding bell" The old-fashioned phone rings.
"Mom, why is there nothing going on today, my body is nothing these days, I don't know the day when I see I'm busy" Liu Yi picked up the phone on the bedside and saw clearly that it was his mother's phone.
"There is nothing to do in the past few days, and the goods are sold when they are pulled back, and the customer has said in advance that I will go in. It's been a few days, how are you going back to the village? Mom still asked with concern.
"Well, that's good. Now the vegetables and seedlings in the greenhouse are about 20 centimeters high, and some vegetables can almost be harvested after 10 years, and the growth is good" Liu Yi observes the growth of vegetables every day, and the details are very clear.
"That's good, I'm afraid that you won't be used to going back to the countryside, you can't do without a computer to work in the city all day long, and I think you can't go back to stay" My mother was anxious when she watched me surfing the Internet all day long, and said that it was not good for a long time, and persuaded me many times.
"Hehe, habit. The air in the village is really good, and every morning I go out to run and exercise along the path at the foot of the mountain." Now Liu Yi is very interested in morning exercises.
Hearing what I said, my mother said yes again, and soon mentioned, "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, your sister called me and asked us how we spent this festival"?
"Now I've cleaned up the house in my hometown, and there's no shortage of anything at home, so I told them to go back to my hometown, and my uncle won't invite me, so I'll invite it on National Day" I said casually, I'm used to living in my hometown, and I really don't want to run around. However, the bedding and quilt items used are not bad, but there are no ingredients, and it will be difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. I was going to tell my mother to ask her to bring some back, but I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to bring more things when she was old, so I might as well run by myself tomorrow.
As a result, my mother said on the phone, "I'll go back tomorrow, I don't know what you're doing, a lot of things are sloppy, I'll go back to see if the bed can still be used, I have to change it, I have to change it, I've lived in my hometown for a long time, and I can't settle for anything."
"Well, if you want to come back, come back" shook his head and hung up. My mother, as always, thought that I was still a child, and that I had to do everything myself.
The next day, I went out to exercise as usual. On the way, I saw the relatives and elders living nearby nodding and saying hello, maybe what I said under the yellow cypress tree yesterday evening was known to everyone, and everyone greeted Liu Yi with a smile, saying that Liu Yi was good and did a good job.
When I got home, I would go to the cold porridge (rice porridge) left over from last night to the uncle's salt water altar (Sichuan and Chongqing called the Fajing Altar) and scoop out some pickles with chopsticks. When I chewed it into my mouth, it was sour and salty, crispy and enjoyable, and I drank two large bowls of porridge with kimchi, and the taste was not on the table (I don't have to say). There is also a kind of diving pickles, but Liu Yi has not been home for long, and many things are not complete, especially the household appliances are waiting for the vegetables to sell well, buy a few things back, at least the TV refrigerator has it.
Liu Yi hadn't been to the town for several days, and Liu Yi had not been in the countryside for a long time and felt unaccustomed to seeing the crowded bazaars. The pace of rural life is indeed relatively slow, and as long as the farm work of each family is not a rush to harvest, there is not much difference between the morning and the evening, as long as there is a calculation in the heart. I bought some pork, beef, and went to the poultry market and killed two chickens and ducks. I didn't buy fish, Shancheng is an inland city, there are relatively few fish types, and the fish I usually eat are mainly crucian carp, grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp. Although it is close to the Yangtze River, the fish in the river have become scarce after a long time of fishing, and some of them have been sent to the restaurants that specialize in making river fish by the river, which are rare outside, and some people sell them, which are just artificially raised, far worse than the wild ones in the river. Later, when I went to the temporary stall outside, I saw someone selling snails again, and I thought to myself, there are so many paddy fields near my hometown, especially my parents next to my family who are farming in their hometown is the original fish field, and the paddy field is used to raise fish, and a round of stones are built on the edge of the entire ridge to prevent the yellow eel loach from making holes. There must be a lot of snails in the field now, and when I was a child, I remember finding a lot of mussels in it, and no one ate those things at that time, so they were all cheaper to feed the poultry at home.
Liu Yi bought the food and belongings he needed, and returned to his home in the town. I was going to run to the top floor of the building, and there were a lot of lettuce in the vegetable garden above. The lettuce in the vegetable garden is called tall and strong, each lettuce is close to each other, impermeable, with a height of 4 or 50 centimeters, and the lettuce usually grows to more than 20 centimeters is considered to be huge, and the one in the vegetable garden is actually twice as tall. Now the lettuce looks like it is about 1.5 catties, because the plants are too close to each other, the leaves that should have grown outward can only grow on a strong net, and the appearance is a bit like a white cocoon.
Liu Yi calculated in his heart that the roof vegetable garden is about 12 square meters, the lettuce is 15-20 cm apart, and each mature lettuce is calculated as 0.35 kg, and a total of about 130 kg of vegetables should be harvested. However, it turned out that Liu Yi brought vegetables to his mother, and also brought about 10 kilograms of lettuce to his second uncle, sister, two brothers who worked outside, and a cousin. Subtracting 60 kilograms, there are still 70 kilograms of vegetables left, and now these lettuces growing in the vegetable garden are at least about 0.8 kilograms each, and the total weight of the lettuce in the vegetable garden is about 160 kilograms.
Developed, when the lettuce in the steel shed in Liu Yi's rural hometown has not been harvested, it is not possible to send some samples to major hotels and guesthouses first, and now he has more than 100 kilograms of lettuce as a stepping stone, and he picks up the high-grade hotels next to him for free, not afraid that you will not accept it, and you will be conquered by the taste of lettuce when you receive it.
With a few giant special lettuces, plus the food and other items he bought, it is very inconvenient for Liu Yi to go anywhere without a car now. As a last resort, I took everything to the side of the street and hailed a motorcycle to drive directly to my hometown in the countryside.
Originally, Liu Yi's hometown was still a mile or two away from the highway, but fortunately, Liu Yi asked the motorcycle to come back today, and the small road motorcycle could still pass, otherwise this distance would be enough for Liu Yi to be busy. took out the money to Mo's master, and Mo's master slammed the accelerator, giving Liu Yi a head-on motorcycle exhaust and ran away. Liu Yi was so angry, I thought to myself, look at me next time, I will do your Mo, I wrote it down when you took a picture.
I turned around and tried to open the door, but it turned out to be empty. The thief entered, and Liu Yi's heart became nervous. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind his back and patted him on the shoulder, "What are you doing, suspicious."
Liu Yi hurriedly jumped forward, but felt that the voice was very familiar, and when he looked back, he looked back, "Mom, you're back"!
