Chapter 3 Raspberry (Raspberry)
Ling Yi woke up listening to the sound of small speeches, I don't know when I fell asleep last night, and I don't know what time it was now, lying on the bed like a salted fish.
"Xiaoyi, get up and eat quickly," Ji Lan shouted outside.
Ling Yi pushed open the door and saw the little radish head sleeping behind her mother in a daze, her little head little by little.
The claws in her heart couldn't help but grab at her, and after some ravages by her sister, Ling Yu came to her senses, and wanted to cry "Sister ......"
Ling Yi was very weak-hearted, as if it was not good to "bully" other people's sisters like this, and took her sister's hand to the hall to finish eating with her father and brother.
"A-Niang, I'll go with you today."
Who would have thought that Ji Lan would refuse after hearing this, "No, you fainted from heat stroke yesterday, but A-Niang was frightened and was not allowed to go." ”
"Sister, it's okay to have a brother to help your father and mother with the work," Ling Feng touched the back of his head.
"Good girl, Daddy knows that you are considerate of me, Daddy has received this heart, is it okay for you to take your sister obediently at home." Ling Zhizhi also echoed on the side.
Ling Yi couldn't help but nodded reluctantly, "Then I'll take my sister to the back mountain to cut pigweed, and then make lunch." ”
Ji Lan was embarrassed, she was afraid that her daughter would faint from heat stroke again, and it was not good to be bored at home all the time, so she had to glare at Ling Yi and compromised, "Then you go to the place where your aunt usually cuts pigweed, and come back quickly after cutting." ”
"Got it"
……
Ling Yi locked the door and went to the back mountain with his sister on his back, deciding to dig up some wild flowers or something and come back to decorate the yard, and then see if there was a way to make money.
I went to the place where I had cut the pigweed yesterday and cut a small back basket and put it in Ling Yu's back basket. Ling Yi took her sister's small basket and put it on her back in the big basket, and led her sister to the place where there was a forest above.
Ling Yi wanted to see if there were any mushrooms, but the mushrooms were not found, but the raspberries found a lot, that is, raspberries. She doesn't know why there are raspberries on the mountain in September, but it is indeed the appearance of raspberries, she can't be mistaken, her grandmother in modern times is in the countryside, and there is a mountain behind her grandmother's house. Ling Yi has some ideas, no matter why it is, if you have money, you don't make a bastard!
She put some pigweed in her back basket, carefully picked it and put it in her big back basket, and picked a large back basket.
Ling Yi happily hugged her sister and spun around in the air.
"Sister, this one is very sour, what's the use of picking it?"
"How do you know it's sour?"
"I'll go to Erniu's house to play, Erniu has tasted it for me~"
From memory, I learned that the second girl was the daughter of the family next door, and she often played with her sister.
"You taste it," Ling Yi put the raspberry to her sister's mouth.
Ling Yu had no choice but to taste it with a bitter face, and his sister was only spoiled by herself. As a result, it was not the taste he expected in his mouth, Ling Yu looked at his sister with a pair of bright eyes, and there were fruit stains on her lips, which looked very cute. "Sister, this is so delicious, you can eat it too~ah~"
Ling Yi obediently ate the raspberries fed by her sister, "My sister has found a way to make money, and ...... make money" She changed her words in time, "Earn the silver, Sister will buy you candy to eat, okay?" With that, the little hand reached out to the top of Ling Yu's head and rubbed it.
"Okay~The sugar candy that Sister bought is the most delicious~"
Ling Yi also covered the raspberries with a layer of pigweed, gave the pigweed in the small basket to his sister's back, and then went down the mountain.
After making lunch, Ling Yi waited for his father and eldest brother to come back. Ling Yi wanted her mother to bring her back some sugar to the town, first make a small jar of raspberry jam, take it to the town and sell it, and then buy more sugar to make raspberry jam after earning the first pot of gold. From the memory of the original owner, I learned that the family was not rich, and if she bought a lot of sugar, the family would not have so much silver to buy her cane sugar, and sucrose was also a very expensive thing, and the price could be equal to meat. In ancient times, there was no such white sugar as it is in modern times, only sugar made from sugar cane.
Ling Yi was in a daze, Ji Lan, Ling Zhizhi and the eldest brother came back, and the family finished lunch happily, and Ji Lan saw the raspberries in the back basket.
"Girl, what are you doing with this big back basket, feeding the pigs?"
……
"Mother, I was just about to talk to you, can you lend me some money to buy candy?"
Ji Lanhu looked at her suspiciously, "What are you borrowing silver for?" If you want to eat candy, A-Niang will buy it for you. ”
"Mother, I want to make raspberry jam with sugar."
"Raspberry jam? Is this one? Isn't this pig food? Ji Lan pointed to the pig food in front of him.
"Mother, this is not pig food, this is called raspberry, sweet and sour, you can taste it," Ling Yu on the side took a raspberry for Ji Lan to taste.
Ji Lan didn't want to taste it, but she didn't want to Buddha her little daughter's intentions, so she tasted it with a skeptical attitude, it was surprisingly delicious, sour and sweet, Ji Lan hurriedly called her son and Xianggong to taste it.
"Lan Lanna~ delicious," Ling Zhizhi said vaguely while eating a raspberry.
Ling Yi felt a little sour when he heard this nickname, and even a little full, and Ling Yisheng, who was forcibly stuffed with a wave of dog food, had nothing to love.
Ling Feng didn't want to taste it, but his sister stared at him with big eyes, although he said, "I don't taste it!" But I honestly ate two large bowls with tears in my eyes.
"How? What do you think? Is it tasty? Ling Yi asked.
"It's delicious."
"Delicious~"
"Delicious!"
"Then make raspberry jam and sell it in the town," Ling Yi looked at Ji Lan, "Mother, lend me money to buy sugar in the town first, and then buy some small clay pots." I'll pay you back when I sell it, okay mother~"
Ji Lanhu looked at her suspiciously, "When will you make jam?" ”
Ling Yi's heart suddenly cooled, "I won't be suspected of being possessed by demons and monsters." "I had to play haha" Mother, I fainted from heat stroke yesterday, and there was a white-bearded grandfather in my dream, who taught me a lot of things, not only food, but also ways to make money. "In the future, when others ask like this, whether they believe it or not, they can't go to their dreams to find out the truth or falsehood, right?
"Huo, is my sister a fairy running into your dream! What do immortals look like?! Ling Feng danced on the side, guessing whether there were really immortals in the world.
Ling Yi smiled dryly, "I don't know either." ”
"Is that white-bearded old man really that good? Why don't you teach me? Ji Lanhuai was very suspicious.
Ling Yi simply pretended to be stupid to the end, "Mother, probably the white-bearded grandfather taught me when he saw that I was cute, so you can lend me money~" said and used her nirvana - coquettish!
Ji Lan was skeptical, who would have thought that her original daughter was dead, this Ling Yi was not Ling Yi. I really can't stand the girl's coquettishness, "Okay, okay, I'll borrow you, I'll borrow you, how old a person is and still coquettish." Ji Lan said that she pretended to knock Ling Yi's head, and she quickly hid behind her brother Ling Feng, "Then tomorrow I will go to the town with my brother, and mother, you can give the silver to my brother." ”
"Get up early tomorrow morning, go to the village with Xiaofeng to take an ox cart, and take an ox cart to the town, but it will take an hour."
"Mother, I'm going to town with my sister too~" Ling Yu held Ji Lan's hand and swayed.
"You girl, my sister goes to the town to run errands, not to play, is it okay to help my mother watch the pigs feed the family?" Ji Lan nodded the child's forehead with his hand.
"Okay, then Sister is going to come back early~"
Then he instructed Ling Feng, "Take care of your sister, don't let people cheat you, don't expose your wealth, come back early after buying it, don't you know?" ”
"Got it, mother."
Ji Lan went back to the house and took out a bunch of money and handed it to Ling Feng, who took it and carefully carried it into his arms.
A penny is 100 wen, a meat bun needs 1 penny to buy, and a tael of silver is 1,000 wen.
"That sister, I'll call you tomorrow morning."
"Hmm."
After speaking, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Ling Fengyin got up at that time, about four o'clock in the morning in modern times. Ling Feng came to his sister's door, knocked lightly, Ling Yi woke up, thinking about going to the town, Ling Yi was not asleep, and woke up in a daze when he heard the knock on the door.
Ling Feng and Ling Yi washed up, went to the hall and ate a boiled sweet potato, and went out after carrying the basket on their backs.
At the entrance of the village, the ox cart was sparsely populated with people who were going to the town. The brother and sister paid four cents together and got on the ox cart to the town.
