When the fresh corn, fresh peppers, and tomatoes were all sold to the last batch, the Ming family ushered in the autumn harvest season again.

Because there are too many fields at home, and there are fresh crops such as sunflowers, corn, and peanuts for fear of being caught and stolen, Old Man Ming finally agreed to Mingyue's proposal to hire a few people to help harvest autumn.

Boss Zhao, who sold land to the Ming family before, was the first to find the old man Ming to recommend himself when he heard the rumors.

All the good fields of his family were sold out by him, and only more than 20 acres were planted with most of the sweet potatoes, artichokes, and less than half of sorghum, millet and other crops.

Old Man Ming has a good heart and knows that his family is having a difficult time, so he just said the beginning, and Old Man Ming is busy responding.

That's not all, when he sent Boss Zhao away, he also asked about the physical condition of Boss Zhao's only son with a concerned face, "Is your dog better?" ”

Boss Zhao looked grateful, "It's much better." The old doctor Qi in the county you introduced to us earlier, he sent my child to his senior brother, and I heard that his senior brother used to be an imperial doctor. This is not the last time I went to the county, I found that my dog is really healthier than before. ”

Old Man Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "The child can be better than anything." ”

After a pause, he asked Boss Zhao in a low voice, "Is the silver enough?" ”

Boss Zhao nodded, "It's enough for the time being, Doctor Qi has a poor child, and the price of the medicine for our dog's eggs is discounted." ”

Old Man Ming was relieved, "That's good." If you don't have enough, you can come to Uncle. ”

Boss Zhao's nose was so sour that he almost burst into tears.

He nodded twice, "Thank you, uncle, if it's not enough, I'll definitely come to you." ”

There is a saying that a penny is difficult for a hero, Boss Zhao has been treating his son since he started, and the family's money is no different from the river water that has opened the floodgates.

Now he has even sold the most valuable Ueda in his family, and if he sells the lower field again, then several members of his family will have to drink the northwest wind.

This is also why he would entrust his land to a few uncles, but he came to Ming's house to work part-time.

At the moment, any income is indispensable to him, after all, his wife and son are still living in Dr. Qi's medical hall in the county.

They can't even provide food for free, especially when his son has to eat some good food every day.

One. There are no words in the night.

The next day, Old Man Ming took his children and grandchildren and twenty hired short-term workers to the field.

This year, the women of the Ming family did not go to harvest the crops together, Mingyue not only ran to the mountains every day, but also took the errand of purchasing, and Mrs. Ming took the other ladies of the family to prepare food for the family and the hired workers.

The staple food is sorghum rice and mixed noodles steamed buns for several days, and the dishes are also cold wild vegetables and a stew with pork, such as pork stewed eggplant, pork stewed beans, pork stewed cabbage, pork stewed radish, and the soup prepared by Mingjia is green cabbage and egg drop soup, river fish tofu soup, red bean and mung bean soup.

Although there are only two dishes and one soup every day, these strong laborers for the Ming family's helpers are very satisfied.

After all, in their own homes, not only do they eat gruel and wild vegetable dumplings most of the time, but they also rarely see meat, eggs and tofu are also rare.

In the Ming family, there are three meals a day, and there is meat and a full meal, and this kind of food is no less than the New Year for them.

Many people skip dinner from the next day, but take their own coarse porcelain basins and take their own share away.

Mingyue was quite speechless about this, but Mrs. Ming silently increased the amount of food at dinner every day.

Mingyue felt that she would contribute to the bad problems of these people by doing this, but Mrs. Ming touched her head and sighed softly, "They also feel sorry for the family, it's okay, anyway, they deserve it." ”

Mingyue didn't express any more different opinions, she felt that her grandmother's kindness and simplicity were very touching.

While comforting herself that "it's not worth a lot of money anyway", she subconsciously pondered what else she could use to make some money to supplement her family.

In June, she had already sold pretzel corn kernels, crispy fried corn kernels, pine nut corn kernels, milky corn kernels, egg yolk baked corn, corn custard, chicken corn custard, assorted corn, corn sweet soup, radish/lotus root/yam corn rib soup, pork corn carrot stuffed dumplings recipes to Juford Restaurant, and now that the old corn is down, she can sell all kinds of corn porridge, corn tortillas, corn noodles, corn flour steamed buns, corn flour hair cakes, corn flour nest heads, corn flour pot stickers.

In fact, she still wants to sell recipes for freshly squeezed corn juice, but unfortunately there were no juicers in ancient times, and the equipment they usually used to squeeze juice was really difficult to use, so Mingyue finally had to give up letting Jufu Restaurant launch this drink that she liked very much in her previous life, but she got a small juicer to go home to satisfy her appetite.

"Master, my Uncle Huang has sent mules and donkeys to our family!" Mingyue was thinking about it, and she heard the five-year-old Xiao Mingxue shouting in the yard that Old Man Ming went out to see the mules and donkeys.

Mingyue jumped up and got down from the edge of the kang, and Old Man Ming and Mrs. Ming also followed out of the house.

At this time, it was already dark, and some of the rest of the Ming family were washing and scrubbing, while others were watching the crops in the threshing floor and fields.

Old Man Ming took advantage of the light and dim sky light to look at the mules and donkeys brought by Huang Dashan, and then beckoned Huang Dashan to come into the house and sit.

Xie Shi had already given tea very discerningly, and Mrs. Ming opened the cage to Huang Dashan to get silver.

Mingyue touched the little donkey's head in the yard, this will be her mount from now on, she has to get close to it - although the main role of people is to grind, but this does not prevent Mingyue from occasionally "using public weapons for private use".

The little donkey was very docile, although it was a little recognizable, but it did not stumble towards the bright moon.

Mingyue led it to the livestock shed across the courtyard and let it stay with the family's big cattle.

The big green mule that came with the little donkey was led by Ming Xu, and Erlang and the others all surrounded the big green mule, chattering about its coat color, teeth, and temperament.

"When we finish saving up mountain goods, we will go to the county to buy a house, buy a shop, and it is best to buy a small village." Mingyue touched her little donkey, "When the time comes, I'll bring the little donkey with me." ”

The corners of Yu Jiayan's mouth twitched slightly, "What are you taking it for?" Shopping? ”

Mingyue rolled her eyes, "Isn't it okay?" ”

Yu Jiayan spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, just be happy." ”

Mingyue, who won the victory, hummed a little tune, and happily went to rare her little donkey again - she also has her own "car", although this car is not a tall horse, but a little donkey full of local flavor.
