Chapter 24 Enhancing Physical Fitness
"Impossible, my arm was so sore this morning that I couldn't even lift it, how could I ...... so quickly" Zhang Jihan raised his arm as he said.
As a result, he found that his arm really didn't hurt anymore. Zhang Jihan's eyes immediately widened, "Huh? It really doesn't hurt anymore! ”
As he spoke, he turned his shoulders and squeezed his arms in disbelief. What I couldn't touch in the morning is now like it never hurts.
"Won't you...... My arm hurt before I ate. Zhang Jihan muttered, "What's going on?" ”
Liu Meiniang quickly opened the topic, "You are young and strong, and your body is recovering quickly." It's good to take a break. This is the first day, and it will be good to get used to it later. ”
"Do you want to continue?" Zhang Jihan let out a long sigh and almost fell on the table.
"You promised me that you would take on most of the farm work. I remember it all, but don't be lazy. Liu Meiniang was simply ruthless, "Besides, isn't our busy work to help you pay off your debts?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jihan was like a deflated balloon, completely speechless.
Everything starts with himself, and he should also be responsible.
I have to say that the effect of spiritual spring water is still very large.
That pot of spiritual spring water was diluted in such a large vat of water, and the effect was so obvious. As long as the spiritual spring water is quoted for a period of time, the physical fitness of the Zhang family will definitely be improved a lot.
The fields at the foot of the mountain were fenced off by the Zhang family with a half-man-high fence, for fear that the fields would be arched by wild boars or something.
By the morning, the land had been ploughed by the oxen and had been clearly divided. A few people dug small holes under the ridges of the fields, and then scattered the seeds of several kinds of vegetables in them, and watered them little by little.
The seeds used by Liu Meiniang are vegetable seeds with a very short growth cycle, such as bok choy, water spinach, lettuce, etc. It's almost all about twenty days, only lettuce is about a month.
Baby cabbage is resistant to low and high temperatures, and can be planted and harvested all year round. In summer, the fire is strong, eat some cabbage, and clear the fire. The seeds of bok choy are also the most bought.
It's summer, and water spinach likes high temperatures and plenty of light. Most importantly, it is not strict in terms of soil conditions. It's just right for this not very fertile soil.
Lettuce has a refreshing taste and is highly nutritious. Liu Meiniang remembered that in the past, in modern times, she ate a lot of lettuce in order to maintain a slim figure. However, there don't seem to be many people in Liuhe Village who will eat lettuce, and the seeds are sold very little, so she searched for a long time to find it.
Liu Meiniang vaguely felt that this was a business opportunity, and maybe she could start with the promotion of lettuce when the time came.
The sun was very high, and it was already past noon, but it still didn't mean to restrain a little.
Liu Meiniang's cheeks were so hot that she reached out and touched her face twice, feeling that her face was hot enough to fry eggs.
This is ancient times, there is no air conditioner to blow, no matter how hot it is, you can only rely on a small fan to slowly and leisurely. She was often so hot at night that she couldn't sleep.
She originally thought that the modern summer would be much hotter than the ancient summer, and it was not too hot in this place where there was no greenhouse effect. But she was completely overthinking.
Several members of the Zhang family were resting under the shade of the trees, and Liu Meiniang went to the creek alone.
Not far away, looking from under the trees, you can faintly see the situation on the other side of the stream.
Liu Meiniang squatted on the edge of the creek and threw a handful of water on her face.
The stream water is clear and cool, which instantly makes Liu Meiniang feel a lot more comfortable, and everyone is more energetic.
She washed her face cloth in the brook and glanced in the direction of the tree.
The men were all resting under the trees with their eyes closed, not paying attention to this side.
Only then did Liu Meiniang pour the spiritual spring water into the wooden bucket filled with water next to her, and diluted it with some stream water.
When everything was ready, Liu Meiniang carefully irrigated the water in the wooden bucket into the pit where the seeds were buried.
When it was done, Liu Meiniang crossed her waist and admired her masterpiece. My heart is full of anticipation for the days ahead.
In the next few days, you don't have to work hard, just water these vegetables and apply fertilizer. Then you can wait for these seeds to germinate and slowly grow.
Liu Meiniang still overestimated her ability to endure, or rather, she thought about growing vegetables too simply.
In ancient times, there were no chemical fertilizers, and all people used manure to fertilize.
Liu Meiniang carried the load of fertilizer, endured the nausea and walked to the field, and then fertilized the vegetable seedlings one by one, and her whole face was green.
She made a makeshift mask out of burlap to keep out the stench. But not only was it useless, but she almost had a prickly heat on her face.
At this moment, she finally understood why the green organic vegetables in the supermarket were sold so expensive.
Now think about it, she can't wait for these vegetables to sell for a few taels of silver a pound!
Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after nearly a month, all the vegetables in the Zhangjia vegetable field were finally harvested.
"Ah-" Zhang Dandan excitedly hugged the watery lettuce and shouted in the field, "It's finally harvested!" ”
"A woman should be gentle and elegant, but she can't shout like this, be careful that she can't marry when the time comes." Zhang Jihan shook his head and said.
Zhang Dandan pursed his lips disdainfully, ignoring his second brother. continued to rub his face against the lettuce as big as his head, "This dish grows really well, much better than Aunt Li's vegetables." Her dish is so small......"
"It's dirty, don't rub it with your face." Liu Meiniang smiled helplessly.
"Where's the dirt? It's clean. Zhang Dandan didn't care.
It was poured with dung, and maybe there was still residue on it......
Liu Meiniang hesitated, afraid that she would be disgusted with the little girl, so she swallowed her words back. Then Liu Meiniang smiled and rubbed the top of Zhang Dandan's head, "Our hard work is not in vain." ”
Zhang Tongtong leaned against the fence, his face expressionless. As if it all had nothing to do with her. Zhang Jihan was so busy that he didn't have time to take care of these people, so he just picked the ripe vegetables and threw them into the basket.
Zhang Li looked at the vegetable field and was even more happy, "Isn't it?" I didn't expect this dish to grow so well. It's big and sleek. This year, there is really not a drop of rain in Sanfu, and the vegetables can still grow so well. It's God's favor. ”
Liu Meiniang smiled, bent down and threw a ripe cabbage into the bamboo basket, and said, "This dish will definitely sell for a good price." ”
The genius was shiny, and the vegetables were still stained with dew, and they looked incredibly fresh.
Probably because they are irrigated with spiritual spring water, the quality of these dishes is very good. Killed all the vegetables on the street in an instant.
Liu Meiniang is confident that she can sell all these vegetables.
After the vegetables were harvested, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan carried two baskets of vegetables to the vegetable market on East Street.
It is said that it is a vegetable market, and the scale is certainly not comparable with modern times, and the way of selling vegetables in the township is almost the same, and it is a stall set up by one person to sell it on the street.
East Street is also lively.
Liu Meiniang inquired about the price of vegetables in the market a few days ago, and she decided to sell the same price.
Zhang Jihan spread a piece of burlap on the ground, and then placed the vegetables in the basket on the burlap one by one. There is a scale next to it. It looks like that.
Liu Meiniang's vegetables are in good condition, and they stand out among these dishes, and soon someone will come to ask the price.
"Girl, how do you sell this dish?" A short aunt wrapped in a headscarf, picked up a small cabbage and asked while looking at it.
"All these vegetables are five pennies a pound. We all picked it from the ground early in the morning to ensure freshness. ”
This is the first business, and Liu Meiniang's attitude is very serious.
"So expensive?" The aunt pursed her lips and raised her eyes to glance at Liu Meiniang's face, "The stall in front of you only sells three cents." You're too expensive. ”
As she spoke, Auntie picked up another water spinach. He still looks picky on his face.
Liu Meiniang grinned when she heard this. She couldn't be clearer about the prices of vegetables on this street, they are all a uniform five cents a catty. This aunt said that she wanted to be cheaper.
"Auntie, this is a small business, and it really can't be cheap." Liu Meiniang set an almost, "Look, our dish is big and smart, and it tastes better." I really don't suffer a loss. ”
The aunt was still grinding with Liu Meiniang, but she also took two catties of vegetables.
Zhang Jihan is only responsible for weighing two catties, and he has always been happy when he opens the door.
“…… Jiuwenqian, how's that? It's just a penny cheaper, and I'll come to you to buy groceries another day, how about it? "Auntie still refuses to give up.
Liu Meiniang was so abrasive that the other party had no choice, so she laughed helplessly, and then nodded, "Okay, okay, auntie, you can really bargain." If it's delicious, help me spread the word! ”
"No problem." The aunt patted her chest and reassured.
Liu Meiniang smiled and shook her head.
Although she didn't collect much money, she still felt quite happy.
"Give it, and the money will be collected for you." Liu Meiniang put the nine coins in her hand in Zhang Jihan's palm.
The other party raised his head in some surprise, he didn't expect Liu Meiniang to be willing to hand over the money to a person with a gambling record like himself to keep it.
"What are you doing stupidly?" Liu Meiniang said.
Zhang Jihan nodded and solemnly put the money into his arms.
One after another, many people came to her to buy groceries. There are not a few bargains, as long as it is not too excessive, Liu Meiniang agreed, just to lay a good mass foundation.
Even though it's just a small stall selling vegetables, they also have to make their own customer flow. In this way, it can be guaranteed.
Liu Meiniang thought happily in her heart, feeling that she was simply a business-minded person. Soon after, the "Lao Zhangjia Vegetable Selling Company" will be established.
