Chapter 35: Big Business Comes to the Door
Ji Zhiyan suddenly said to Huang Shenghe: "You also follow Mr. Su to buy a load of millet, and when the time comes, you will sell your own family, and you won't suffer a loss anyway." ”
Huang Shenghe heard it, yes, this rice is much better than his own home.
asked Su Xiuqian: "Is there more millet in that family?" How much did you buy it for a hundred pounds? ”
Su Xiuqian said: "I bought it for fifteen yuan and one hundred catties, and I don't know if there are many of them." ”
Huang Shenghe frowned and said: "The price of this grain has risen by several yuan, but this kind of green and yellow is not available at this price, and besides, their millet varieties are good, and it is normal to be a little expensive, you can take me with you tomorrow!" ”
Su Xiuqian said: "I'll first ask them if they have more to sell, how many are there, and then we will go together to pick a load and come back, in short, they all want to eat." ”
Huang Shenghe hurriedly said yes, the two families had just said yes, and the Zhou family also smelled the fragrance.
The sons of the Zhou family were not polite, and simply opened the Su family's rice pot to eat, just like eating their own, Wang Xuelian frowned.
In the afternoon of the next day, Su Xiuqian and Huang Shenghe staggered from the path on the other side of the mountain with two loads of millet.
Su Qingtong looked at the two big men who were soaked with sweat on their shoulders, and felt quite helpless, if it wasn't for the secret of the space, why would her father and uncle work so hard, but she really had no choice, she was too young to reveal too many unreasonable things, so she could only go with the flow.
Su Qingtong still secretly changed the grain while they weren't paying attention.
At dusk, the rich fragrance of rice wafts over Qingjiatang, spreading far away, arousing people's appetite.
Both Su and Huang families ate to their heart's content.
The daughter of the Huang family unknowingly ate it, and several people in the Su family were not much better, regardless of whether the food was good or not, as long as the meal was delicious enough.
Only the Zhou family ate the rice in their bowl tastelessly, and finally the youngest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Guishan, ran to the Su family to take a bowl of rice back, and then Zhou Laosan, Zhou Laoer followed suit.
The Su family's pot of rice was divided by them in this way, which made Wang Xuelian so angry that her face was so black that it was about to rain, but the neighbors were too bad to say, so they could only blame them for being unlucky and meeting such a neighbor like a robber.
The brothers of the Zhou family also saw that Wang Xuelian was disgusted with them, and in the end, there was no way, and the sons of the Zhou family finally couldn't help but go to the mountains to buy millet.
After the three families of Qingjiatang bought millet, the Su family was finally able to eat a meal with peace of mind.
But the people who live in the opposite gate can't help it, every time the meal season, someone rushes over, in Yu Xiumei's words, it is to smell the fragrance of the rice, it is also a kind of enjoyment.
The Huang family was the first at the entrance of Qingjiatang, and received the most people who came to smell the fragrance, and later his family had to close the door to eat safely when eating.
If there are people who can't resist the temptation, they also go to Shutang to buy millet, the strange thing is that the millet they buy back is completely different from the one they bought in Qingjiatang, and there is no such unique fragrance at all, not to mention the unique taste.
Even the parents of the students who sold millet to Su Xiuqian felt strange, they had never eaten fragrant rice, why did Teacher Su buy it back and turn it into fragrant rice?
Su Xiuqian also sighed to Huang Shenghe because of this incident: "I knew that their family's good millet would be gone so soon, so it would be good to buy more at that time." ”
Huang Shenghe said with a smile: "Fifteen yuan for a load of millet, it's not cheap, I have a heart, I bought back the millet on the first day to send the grain seeds, now the seedlings have grown an inch and a half long, to the second half of this year, you can eat such delicious rice every day without spending money." ”
Su Xiuqian said with envy and surprise: "That's more than ten days later than other cereal seeds, will it affect the yield?" ”
Huang Shenghe said: "It doesn't matter if you are ten days late, as long as you cultivate better, you can catch up with the season." ”
Huang Shenghe took care of the rice seeds planted in the back as an ancestor, fertilizing and basking in the sun were all carefully cared for, and fortunately, with the help of the weather, the seedlings planted behind grew lush, and they were not weaker than the seedlings planted before.
When the seedlings are grown, it is also the double rush season to cut off the early rice and plant the late rice.
In the middle of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the sun bakes the earth like a blazing flame, there is not a trace of wind around, and the suffocating air makes it difficult to breathe.
The middle and lower reaches of the Nanhe River are known as furnaces, which means to bake you in the oven.
At this time, it was a critical juncture for the rural people to rush to the end of the day, and they were busy from morning to night under the scorching sun, so that they could finish planting the late rice seedlings before the beginning of autumn and ensure the harvest of the late rice.
Su Qingtong was about to enter the door with a large watermelon weighing more than 20 pounds with difficulty, but was picked up, afraid that she would fall when she crossed the threshold.
Sitting in the hall were the people who had come to help harvest the rice today, and everyone was amazed at this rare watermelon, which had never been seen before.
My father and uncle were packing up the things that went to the field to mix the grass, and they were stunned when they suddenly saw such a big watermelon rolling in.
"Where did you buy this watermelon? How much? ”
Su Xiuqian asked his daughter behind the watermelon, originally he also thought about buying watermelon, but his money was a little tight, so he dragged it out and didn't buy it, but now he was very happy to see his daughter buy it back.
Su Qingtong reported to a consignment store that his parents didn't go to.
When the double robbery, the people who ask people to do things will send some food to the field to give the people who help to eat the waist meal, by the way, let everyone rest for a while, the particular people will boil some mung bean juice to relieve the heat, and the worst will also send a broken watermelon or a pot of herbal tea.
In Su Qingtong's memory, her grandmother always sent her own pickled sour radish with some sugar, which also gave the tired people some taste in their mouths.
Her mother rarely spoke of such politeness, and in addition to being a woman who was not very diligent, her mother could not afford that expense, and sometimes she even saved tea, and felt embarrassed to show herself in the fields.
Whenever she had a break, her father would ask her to take a teapot home to fetch water, but when she went home, she would only ask for a pot of water from the well, and it would be easier to make a pot in the nearby open well.
Mother often said that 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice', she is the most polite, and there is really no way to think about it.
Su Xiuqian is also a careless person, if it weren't for the empty pockets, he would have already bought the things for hospitality.
So when Su Qingtong entered the door with a big watermelon, instead of blaming his daughter, he was very happy that his daughter found a way to bring back a big watermelon, and asked her with a smile which store she bought it, and Su Qingtong casually reported a name.
Su Xiuqian was stunned, and thought, I don't usually patronize that family, I didn't expect to give him face like this, and I would actually give things to his children on credit, and I will have to take care of his family's business more next time.
In the morning, two large and one small fields were harvested, and at this rate, one more day will have to be harvested tomorrow.
By the afternoon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the leaves were sunburned, and some of them hung limply on the branches.
Wang Biwen stood on the mixer and shouted loudly: "Qing girl, hurry up and hand over the straw, run faster, didn't you eat just now?" Move the action neatly. ”
Su Qingtong was so tired that his whole body fell apart, and he gasped and said, "I'm not a robot, aren't I tired of running around?" ”
Wang Biwen was stunned for a moment, he originally wanted to say how tired the child could be, but he didn't say it for some reason, maybe it was because this niece gave him a different momentum than before, or maybe it was for the niece to save the child in his wife's womb.
But after all, he showed a look of disgust and said: "Girls are useless, and they have no strength to run a few times." ”
Su Qingtong didn't have a backlash, as long as the eldest uncle didn't hold on to her like his father, the eldest uncle in this life was finally not so difficult.
But Su Qingtong was immediately arranged by her father to cut the grain, perhaps because she was not as happy as before, and wanted to maximize her value, so she asked her to cut rice with a few women invited by the production team.
The fields harvested in the afternoon were a little far apart, and they had to carry the grain dresser for a long distance.
When the contract was contracted to the household, Su Xiuqian's luck was not good, and the fields were hung scattered, and no one was willing to change with them, so he planted like this, which caused great inconvenience whenever he was harvested, not only was it troublesome to carry the mixing bucket, but it was also more tiring to pick wet millet.
Among them, there are two hill fields on the side of the road at the other end of the brigade headquarters, and now the rice fields at the intersection of the hills are going to be harvested, and the two men are carrying the grain dressing machine forward, and Su Qingtong and several women are carrying the baffle of the harvester and follow behind.
The sun was still very fierce at four o'clock, and Su Qingtong couldn't open his eyes.
When she came to the crossroads, she suddenly heard a voice shouting: "Little girl of the Su family, little girl of the Su family." ”
Su Qingtong followed the sound and looked over, almost softening under his feet, it was actually Huang Zhixin who was driving a four-wheeled car from Qingxi Hotel, and he had already opened the door and walked towards her.
How did this person find her, and how did he know she lived here?
Compared with her panic, Huang Zhixin was ecstatic: "Girl, I finally found you." ”
Su Qingtong asked cautiously, "Uncle Huang, why did you find it?" ”
"It's so hot that people follow the fire." Huang Zhixin complained first and wiped a handful of sweat on his head, and then avoided the people before and after her and whispered: "There are a few big customers, they want a lot of things, and they are in a hurry, I have no choice but to come out to find you in person, this is a real big customer, very reliable." ”
Su Qingtong was immediately attracted: "What fruit do they want?" How much? ”
Huang Zhixin said with a smile: "100,000 catties of watermelons, 30,000 catties of peaches, plums, loquat and other melons and fruits, how about it, this business is big enough, right?" ”
Su Qingtong thought to herself, this business is indeed quite big, this is equivalent to emptying some of the fruits in her space, and the fruits of those small fruit trees will be picked up.
It's just, how did Uncle Huang find her? This is too shocking, isn't it? She was so tightly hidden, and she was caught by him so easily, she had a sense of panic standing naked in front of people without cover.
"Uncle Huang, how do you know I live here? Once you find one, you're too lucky, right? ”
Su Qingtong glanced at him unceremoniously.
The vigilance, precaution, and caution in his eyes were like a thorn in his back, and Huang Zhixin was stunned for a moment.
