Chapter 32: The Harvest
Mu Chenghu was drinking the tea that Mu Chenggui had made all night, enjoying the morning sunshine with his eyes, and Mu Chengru walked over.
Mu Chengru looked at Mu Chenghu's enjoyment, and also used the bamboo cup next to him to make himself a cup of tea.
Mu Chengru said while tasting tea, "Third brother, don't talk about the tea made by the eldest brother, don't say it, this tea can be sold at a good price." ”
When Mu Chenghu heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Second brother, this is true." ”
"I don't have anything to do to lie to you, I've been in business for sixteen or seven years, and I still have this bit of eyesight." Mu Chengru said with a smile.
"Then according to the second brother, how much can this tea be sold for?" Mu Chenghu looked at Mu Chengru with some urgency.
"Tea itself is a rare thing, ordinary people can't afford to consume it at all, under normal circumstances, this tea can be sold for about five taels of silver, but now this situation is not very clear. The third child, you won't pay attention to this tea, right? Mu Chengru replied.
Mu Chenghu only heard five taels of silver and a pound of tea, and as for Mu Chengru's later words, he had already filtered them out.
Mu Chenghu found Mu Yao and said, "Yaoyao, is there still tea in the place where you picked tea yesterday?" ”
Mu Yao recalled for a moment and said, "There are quite a few!" I'm still thinking about picking another batch in a few days, and I'll take it back on the road? ”
"Yaoyao, you pack up and get ready to go up the mountain." Mu Chenghu said with some excitement.
Mu Yao looked at Mu Chenghu who was walking away, turned back to the child who was exercising in the morning, and said, "Everyone will exercise in the camp by themselves today, I have to go out beforehand, remember not to run around." ”
After a while, Mu Chenghu found a number of people, and as soon as these people heard Mu Chenghu say that a pound of tea could be sold for five taels of silver, they immediately threw down the work in their hands and ran over.
You said why no one asked how the money would be divided in the future, but it was too much to worry about, maybe the money was not enough for everyone to avoid this disaster? Everyone will only think about how to survive this disaster.
Mu Yao led a group of people to the place where the tea was picked yesterday, then turned around and took the small stone to the forest next to it.
"Little Stone, what do you say you're doing here! Isn't it good to play with the little ones in the camp? Mu Yao was a little speechless and looked at the little stone that was going to go up the mountain with her.
"I don't want to play with them! They don't like to play with me. Xiao Shi said aggrievedly.
"Brother Rong Si and Xiaohuzi don't play with you either?" Mu Yao suddenly realized that the children in Mujia Village were a little xenophobic, even if her grandfather saved the older generation in Mujia Village, it was difficult for Xiaoshi to integrate into the younger generation in Mujia Village.
"That's not true, but Brother Rong Si holds a book and reads it whenever he has time, which is not fun at all. And Xiaohuzi was busy helping his mother make shoes and the like all day, so he didn't have time to play with me. Little Stone thought for a moment and said.
Mu Yao wanted to know about Xiao Shi's hobbies, so she asked step by step, "Then do you want to read and write like Brother Rong Si?" Or do something else? ”
"My grandfather used to find me a master, and I know a lot of words! However, I now want to practice martial arts with Grandpa Wei. Little Stone said with some nostalgia.
"Little Stone is very literate! If you are literate, at least you won't be easily deceived! And why do you want to practice martial arts now? Mu Yao asked with some curiosity.
"Sister, will I never be deceived by someone like Lu Xiaohua again after I become literate?" Xiao Shi looked at Mu Yao with some disdain.
Mu Yao asked with some curiosity, "Little stone, what did Lu Xiaohua deceive you?" ”
"Lu Xiaohua is the little girl who took the money to let me go with Grandpa Wei when you met me." Xiao Shi said with some pain.
Mu Yao looked at Xiao Shi, who was haunted by that incident, and said, "Xiao Shi, that's not called deception, that's called choice, it's just that she gave up on you and Grandpa Wei at that time." ”
"Then why did she choose to give up on me and Grandpa Wei every time, before I gave her the last piece of jade on my body, let her be used as a medicine for Grandpa Wei, but she gave the money to her father to drink." Little Stone said angrily.
Mu Yao was a little angry at this time, this person made it clear that he was bullying Xiao Shixiao and not being sensible.
Xiao Shi looked at Mu Yao, who was suddenly angry, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”
Mu Yao glanced back at Xiao Shi, squatted down and said, "Xiao Shi, stay away from her when she meets such a person in the future, don't let her have a chance to lie to you." If she's going to come up alive or dead, then you're welcome. ”
"Well, sister, I will definitely stay away from such people in the future." Little Stone nodded earnestly.
Mu Yao didn't know how many girls she had made her words cry under the covers, and she didn't know how much her father and mother would have to worry about Xiaoshi's marriage in the future.
Suddenly, Xiaoshi pointed to a piece of Houttuynia cordata not far away and said, "Sister, there are a lot of Houttuynia cordata we ate a few days ago, let's dig some back and eat them." ”
Mu Yao nodded.
After a while, Mu Yao and Xiao Shi dug a basket full of backs, and just as Mu Yao put away the small hoe and was about to go back to the tea field, they heard the scream of Xiao Shi.
Mu Yao ran to Xiao Shi and saw that one of Xiao Shi's fingers was bleeding out.
Xiao Shi looked at Mu Yao, who was running over, and pointed to a rolling thorn ball on the ground and said, "Sister, be careful of that thorn ball." ”
Mu Yao looked at the fingers of the small stone, where is the thorn ball, this is clearly the grain, Mu Yao raised his head and found that there were several large chestnut trees not far away.
Mu Yao turned her head to look at Xiao Shi's finger and found that the blood on Xiao Shi's finger had stopped. Mu Yao couldn't help but wonder if I wore it or the small stone was worn. Why did he find the chestnut so close to each other! And I found everything.
Xiao Shi looked at Mu Yao, who was wandering in the world, and asked with some curiosity, "Sister, what are you doing in a daze?" Aren't you going back? ”
"Yes, we have to go back quickly, go back and tell them that our little stone has done a great job again." Mu Yao said with a small basket on his back.
Xiao Shi asked with some curiosity, "What have I done?" ”
Mu Yao smiled and said, "Little Stone has found us a lot to eat." ”
Xiao Shi heard it in a fog, and he didn't know what his sister was talking about.
Mu Yao suddenly remembered that she hadn't paid attention to whether there were thorns in Xiao Shi's fingers when she was excited just now, so she asked, "Xiao Shi, do you have thorns in your fingers?" ”
"Sister, no. I just got stabbed. Xiao Shi stretched out his finger and let Mu Yao look at it.
Mu Yao returned to the tea picking place with the small stone and found that Mu Chenghu and they were almost finished picking.
Mu Chenghu saw the houttuynia on Mu Yao's back and said, "My Yaoyao and Xiaoshi are so powerful, I'll find all the dishes for dinner in this moment." ”
"Dad, there's something even better! The little stone found chestnuts, and there are quite a few. Mu Yao threw a heavy bomb on Mu Chenghu.
When Mu Chenghu heard this, he immediately put down the tea leaves in his hand and asked, "Where is it?" ”
Mu Yao pointed to the forest behind him and said, "It's in this forest, not far from here." ”
Mu Chenghu immediately turned around and beckoned everyone to pick chestnuts with the small stones, and asked Mu Yao to go back to the camp and call some more people over.
After Xiaoshi took Mu Chenghu to the chestnut field, Mu Chenghu found a few chestnut trees nearby, which made everyone very happy.
In the evening, the big guy looked at the harvest of his group of people today and felt extremely satisfied, after all, these chestnuts are enough for everyone to eat for one or twenty days, and this thing can be stored for a month or two without any problem.
