Qian Qi thought about it for a night, still puzzled, the next day, the price of tea before Ming fell slightly, but soon returned to the price of ninety, which made him have to cheer up the spirit of twelve, urging the guys in the tent to take advantage of the low price to collect a large amount of tea.

He believes in his own judgment, the price of tea before the Ming Dynasty, in previous years is almost impossible, this year must be the foreign tea merchants to jointly reduce the price, he has long seen this kind of tricks, what he has to do is to buy more, hoard goods, the same price is restored, so make a lot of money, so, he is busy for a while, and has no time to take care of others.

Gu Qingzhu, who returned to Gujiaao, expected that the tea market had a big twist and turn, the second day was Qingming, and it began to rain lightly in the second half of the night, fortunately, when she came back yesterday, she bought a stack of yellow table paper in the town, and also bought some tofu shutters and the like.

The morning light is faint, the light rain still has no intention of stopping, Gu Qingzhu can't wait, put on a coat, bring a hat, go to the vegetable field to cut the head and leek, the peas planted last winter After a few spring rains, a lot of young shoots appeared, she pinched two handfuls, and the coriander grew fat, she dug more than 20 trees and already had a handful.

Two years ago, next to the tea garden and mulberry garden, Gu Qingzhu planted more than a dozen toon trees, and in the past few days, the clouds and rain have moistened, and the bright and dark purple shoots have burst out again, about a finger has grown, Gu Qingzhu walked and broke the tender heads one by one.

The bamboo basket was filled with turquoise and tender blue and deep purple for a while, crowded and crowded lively, the aroma of fresh vegetables lingered on the nose, which made people feel refreshed, Gu Qingzhu returned home and sent a handful of toon heads and a dozen eggs to Liang Mancang.

The loquat tree in the courtyard has produced green fruits as big as a fingernail, the wild roses wrapped around the bamboo fence have sprouts, the red and purple leaves are rolling with crystal raindrops, bright and bright, the original broken clay pot, Gu Qingzhu is reluctant to throw it, put it on the soil, put it on the chicken nest, and plant more than a dozen small chives.

Today is Qingming, Qingsong rarely has no Wen Shu, Gu Qingzhu didn't care about him, he is the only male in the family, he should be filial, Gu Qingzhu put down the bamboo basket and went to the firewood room to move firewood, Qingsong moved the small pestle, and Qingying together to choose vegetables, origami money, and carved white flags, the little turtle crawled around slowly in front of them, and a few bold chickens ran in to peck at the leaves.

Wash the vegetables and prepare to stop, Qingying burns the fire in the stove, cooks rice in one pot, puts oil in the other pot, changes the tofu into small cubes, puts it on both sides of the pot and slightly frying it until it turns yellow, puts small shrimp and soybean paste, pours hot water to boil, and changes to low heat and simmers.

The so-called thousands of rolling tofu and ten thousand rolling fish, although the tofu itself is a tasteless ingredient, but it is the easiest to absorb the flavor of the seasoning, the shrimp paste is made last year, the best roasted tofu, the fresh fragrance is strong, when the juice is half dry, sprinkle the shallots to increase the color and fragrance, and put it into the tile bowl to keep warm.

Tender yellow shutters cut strips poured into the oil pot, stir-fry three or two times and then put on a plate for later use, leeks were bred for a whole winter, just out of the soil, the aroma is the strongest, but the most tender, hot oil will be leeks ~ forced to change color, a lot of water, at this time, quickly pour in the shears and stir-fry, add salt to taste, salt to taste, salt to be slightly more, otherwise the leeks will have an earthy smell.

The pea sprouts are easier to fry, the fire is fast, and the stir-fry can be put on the plate, smelling it, there is a fresh atmosphere.

Perhaps the most important meaning of planting toon is to blanch the washed toon buds in boiling water in a pot for the sake of this delicious dish in early spring, turn the dark purple into light green, wait for it to cool slightly, chop it into a large bowl, beat four or five fresh eggs, twist a little salt, and stir it thoroughly.

Change the stove to low heat, heat the oil in the pot, pour in the toon egg liquid, make a crisp sound, the edge quickly condenses, use a spatula to spread the egg liquid accumulated in the center part, when it is slightly stiff, turn the egg cake over and continue to fry until both sides are golden, and then use the spatula to cut into small pieces and put on the plate.

Boil four or five pieces of dried bean curd in boiling water in the pot, about a quarter of an hour, you can take out the drain and continue to blanch the coriander, it is different from toon buds, three or two breaths in the boiling water, and the color can be changed.

Cut the dried bean curd, chop the coriander, refine the sesame oil and fine salt, let it cool and pour it in, a little sugar, a spoonful of sour bayberry sauce, mix well, sweet and sour, crisp and soft, and the tongue is raw.

A bowl of shallots and tofu, a plate of leek shutters, a plate of pea seedlings, a bowl of toon egg cake, a small pot of coriander and dried beans, five dishes, Gu Qingzhu made it in a while, and put some of each in a small bowl, and another rice was packed and served in a bamboo basket.

At this time, at the beginning of the day, the sky outside turned bright, it was rare to stop the rain, the air was full of earth and grass, and the three sisters and brothers went to the ancestral tomb mountain of Gujiaao together.

Qingshan carried a bamboo basket, Qingying held a folded bag of paper money, Gu Qingzhu tied a large handful of dried bamboo shoot shells and brought it, she carried a shovel on her shoulder, pinned a sickle to her waist, walked all the way, saw a big willow tree by the stream, stopped, cut a few branches with a sickle, and grabbed it in her hand.

There are already several families burning paper and bowing on the grave mountain, the three sisters and brothers pulled the weeds on their mother's grave together, Gu Qingzhu dug a round new grave hat in the open space next to it and changed it, Qingsong and Qingying put a white flag on the wicker and inserted it on the grave hat.

Qingsong and Qingying put sacrifices, because it had just rained and the ground was wet, Gu Qingzhu put a few dried bamboo shoot shells on the ground, poured out some paper money, lit it with a fire fold, fluttered the edges, and the fire burned vigorously.

After a while, the fire went out, Gu Qingzhu touched the hair of his younger siblings and said, "Go and kowtow to your mother, tell me what you think." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely be admitted to Tongsheng next year." Gu Qingsong knelt on the bamboo shoot shell and kowtowed solemnly.

"Mother, can you bless Daddy to come back sooner? I don't want to be told by them that I'm a kid without a father! Gu Qingying folded her hands and prayed pitifully.

Gu Qingzhu looked at the little person in front of her, and her eyes were wet with tears all of a sudden, no matter how good she was to her little sister, but the love of her parents was still the family affection she longed for the most, but she was born without a mother, and she lost her father's love before she was one year old, which made her more sensitive and desired.

"Who said that about you? Brother go beat him up! Gu Qingsong asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"Brother Lobby, Sister Erni, and others, Brother, how can you fight it, I just hope that Daddy can come back soon, and they don't dare to say it." Gu Qingying looked at the end of the road with a bitter face, as if a dusty person would suddenly appear there.

"Daddy will come back, if you see our Qingying tall and beautiful, you will definitely be happy." Gu Qingzhu squatted down and comforted her little sister in her arms.

"Hmm!" Gu Qingying is a child in the end, she rubbed it in Gu Qingzhu's arms, and it would be good to be delicate for a while.

Gu Qingzhu kowtowed wordlessly, her wish was to work hard to realize her younger sibling's wishes.

Grandpa's grave is not far away, in previous years, the big room and the second room were always memorialized together, the third sister and brother waited and waited, but they didn't see Gu Shigui's family coming, seeing the dark clouds rolling and rushing in the sky, the next rain was coming, there was no one else on the grave mountain, Gu Qingzhu stomped her feet, the family has never been reliable, she didn't wait, and the decision began to burn paper money.

"What do you mean, my elder hasn't come yet, so you're rushing to burn paper money and find me unlucky!" Gu Shigui carried a shovel and walked lazily, and when he saw the burning fire, he was immediately unhappy.

There is an unwritten rule in the countryside, if your own grave is preempted by others, you will be unlucky, although Gu Qingzhu is the granddaughter of her relatives, and it is supposed to burn some paper money, but in Gu Shigui's eyes, he is the only orthodox.

"What the second uncle said is ridiculous, my father is the eldest son, he didn't go out and didn't return, I did my filial piety on my behalf, it's not too much to be reasonable, besides, our sister and brother have been waiting here for almost an hour, and you, the elder, are too late!" Gu Qingzhu stood up and said in a cold voice.

"It's amazing, in front of so many ancestors, you dare to talk back, you really have a long ability!" Zhu Shi came with Gu Dabao and Gu Erni behind, and said viciously, there was a puddle of gray and white on the hem of her ochre-red skirt, which looked like it was stained with.

"What I'm saying is just the truth, if the ancestors had known, they would have been able to distinguish between right and wrong." Gu Qingzhu glanced at her.

"You only grow two acres of tea at home, and you can't pick it today, so it's naturally idle, it's like my family has to raise chickens in addition to the tea garden!" Gu Erni squeezed her, squatted on the ground, and put a bowl of raw tofu, a few pieces of dried tofu and three or five eggs in front of the grave, looking obviously perfunctory.

Gu Qingzhu was lazy to ignore them, waited for the paper money to burn out, and prepared to leave with his younger siblings.

Gu Shigui had already dug a grave with a shovel and brought it to him, and suddenly found that there was no white flag engraved, he caught a glimpse of the objects in the green pine basket, and said: "Give me your white flag!" ”

"You dislike us so much, our things, you'd better not think about it!" Qing Song said reluctantly.

"Qingsong, you give it, it's useless to bring this back, Qingying, you go and bring the rest of the wicker for the second uncle." Gu Qingzhu was uncharacteristically easy to speak.

Qingsong and Qingying naturally listened to Sister A's words the most, and when they saw her say this, they only did it silently.

The third sister and brother walked seven or eight steps, and they heard Zhu Shi pulling his throat and jumping to scold: "Dead girl, I know that you are not well-intentioned, you broom star, cheap hooves, what are you saying to give the wicker white banner to the second uncle, ahh ”

"What did the second aunt say, this is obviously what the second uncle wanted, if I don't give it, I will definitely say that I am stingy, this will be given, why are you still annoyed." Gu Qingzhu couldn't help laughing and turned back seriously.

"You...... You ......" Zhu was sullen, seeing the three sisters and brothers leaving, but he couldn't refute it, and turned his fat face into the color of pig liver.

"How can there be all that nonsense, kowtow back quickly, those chickens are raining and are straining, if they are all dead, I will not be alive, you just wait to be a widow." Gu Shigui glared at Zhu angrily, feeling that she couldn't tell the difference between the important and the heavy, and she was still competing on her tongue at this time.

"Yes...... But that girl is really annoying! Zhu was not a person on either side for a while, and couldn't help muttering.

"Wait, when I raise the chickens and they are sad!" Gu Shigui spat the ground and said in a muffled voice.

"Boom!" Huge thunder rolled over the sky, dark clouds pressed on the top, white practice flickered, and heavy rain poured down!
