Chapter 164: Spring is coming

So, almost as soon as Fang Jie opened her mouth, she immediately remembered the barbecue workshop, and pulled Fang Jie to talk carefully with great interest.

Fang Jie leaned over to listen to her, nodded slowly, and said with a smile, "The barbecue you mentioned, I have eaten it a few times on the Western Xinjiang grassland, and it tastes really good, and it must meet the appetite of the people of the Northland." But what is that sauce called cumin, how come I have never heard of it? ”

Pu Cao was looking forward to a prosperous business and customers, and was suddenly poured over by Fang Jie with such a scoop of cold water, and was instantly disappointed. You know, cumin is the most important kind of barbecue seasoning, and the taste will be greatly reduced without it, "How can there be no cumin?" Cumin is a small grain like wheat that has a pungent and strange smell..."

"Don't worry," Fang Jie saw her frowning and hurriedly said comfortingly, "I still have a few friends in Western Xinjiang, and tomorrow I will send someone to send a letter to ask them to help find them." The left and right rich real estate also have to be cleaned up, and it is not something that can be reopened in a moment. ”

Pu Cao thought about it and felt that she was a little anxious, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you can't find cumin, it's fine." Summer is coming soon, even if you open a porridge shop, you won't lose money, and I have a better idea when the snow falls. ”

"What's a good idea?" Fang Jie saw Pu Cao's smiling face again, and he also rejoiced, "No wonder outsiders treat it as a cornucopia, others have to endure all the hard work to find a way to make money, you are so easy to get one, it really makes people jealous." ”

"Of course, Cailu is my family's raising, and I want as much as I want!"

"Haha, it's windy today, but fortunately my window is tightly closed!"

"You've just flashed your tongue!"

The two laughed and laughed together as they talked, and inevitably ended up with lingering tongues and grinding their ears and temples.

Seeing that it was dark outside, Pu Cao hurriedly picked up her clothes and sideburns, and went out to go back to her house.

Fang Jie kept sending her to the back garden of Liu's house, and then turned around and went back unhappily, the back image was very much like the puppy abandoned by the owner, and it was funny to see Pucao...

Spring in the north @ is later than in the south, but as soon as the spring breeze becomes gentle, the warm sun begins to shine, the ice and snow melt, and the mountains and forests are covered in a layer of light green spring clothes almost in the blink of an eye.

The little swallows flew back from the south in flocks, and happily lived in the old nests, occasionally chattering with each other, chattering about the journey, which made the naughty boys itch their hearts, and they searched everywhere for bamboo poles and ladders, intending to catch one or two and stuff them into the stove to cook and beat the tooth sacrifice.

Of course, before they could put this idea into action, they were slapped by the old man in the family and scurried around with their buttocks. In the hearts of the peasant family, the swallow is the same as the magpie as the auspicious bird, only the people who do good deeds on weekdays, and the people are prosperous can attract the swallow to build a nest and accompany it. How could they have allowed the naughty boys in their family to bully the messenger of spring?

In the 100 acres of dry fields outside Nangou Village, the snow has melted clean, revealing the dark land. The old and young masters of each family are busy carrying ox carts or carrying burdens to carry manure to the fields, and when they are ripe, they are spread and plowed, which is enough to supply the buds for a year.

As the days approached the end of April, Pucao carefully consulted the village elders and estimated that there would be no more frosts. So, at noon on this day, when the sun was the hottest, everyone from the Liu family, the Chen family, and the Dong family gathered at the Zhang family to help. The vegetable seedlings growing in the paper tube were moved to a flatbed truck and carefully transported to the two acres of dry land near the river by the Liu family.

Everyone was busy digging pits and planting buds and seeds, but they were suddenly surprised to see this cart of green vegetable seedlings, and they all threw down their work and ran to see the excitement. The villagers with the loud voices shouted, "Oh, isn't this an eggplant seedling and a pepper seedling, they have grown so tall?" ”

"But it's not, each of us has only a few seeds, and the seedlings are half a foot high, so I'm afraid it will bear fruit in less than a month?"

"Son, did you grow this? You're getting more and more capable, boy! ”

Liu Housheng was worried that everyone would ask for it, so he replied while moving the paper tube down with a smile, "How can I have this ability, it was all planted in advance by Pucao Girl in the vegetable shed, and it took a lot of effort to plant so many hundreds." ”

When everyone heard this, they praised it in their mouths, but they thought about it in their hearts. In the autumn of last year, Pucao built a shed to grow vegetables, and everyone laughed at her whimsical behind her back, and the Zhang family made a lot of money. At this time, each family has just ordered the seeds to go to the ground, and the grass has directly planted half a foot of seedlings, and the green vegetables of the two acres of land will be marketed early, and I don't know how much silver I will earn back.

After the anxious villagers quietly retreated to the crowd, they trotted to tell a few elders and Li Zheng. Liu Housheng saw it in his eyes, but he didn't stop it.

Soon, Pu Cao and Fang Jie had just arrived at the ground with the last cart of cucumber seedlings, and they were also rushing over with a few elders on the back foot.

Naturally, they were inevitably surprised and praised again, and at the end they all looked like they wanted to speak and stopped. Pucao is very eye-catching, and she doesn't intend to hide it. So he took the initiative to smile and said, "Uncle Lizheng and the elders, don't worry, it is very risky to plant green seedlings in the ground like this, in case of another frost that falls one night, they will all freeze to death." The two of us are thinking about trying it out this year, and if it happens, we will all want to plant it next spring, and I will teach it together. Even if you don't want to give up your grain and grow vegetables, if you sell these vegetable seedlings to other villages, you will definitely be able to earn a few taels of silver. ”

Fang Jie shook the black soil stained on his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Folks, you don't have to bother looking for buyers when you grow vegetables. Even if there is a surplus, the price may be even higher if it is shipped to the surrounding counties. ”

"Really? That's great. ”

"That's it, our village is going to get rich."

Many villagers heard that Pucao did not hide their selfishness, and Fang Jie solved their biggest worries, they were all happy and didn't know what to say, so they all surrounded the two of them and thanked them non-stop.

Li Zheng and several clan elders imagined that the small Nangou Village would definitely be famous for a hundred miles next year, and they were all full of excitement. Although this is not a major event to honor the ancestors, at least it is worth celebrating in the village.

Seeing that Pucao is so popular, and everyone is saying good things like making a fortune, they are jealous and hateful, and they can't help but pouting and whispering, "The vegetable seedlings haven't been planted yet, so I want to sell them for money." This thing against the sky, God may be annoyed, and the effort to blow will freeze to death, and I just want to do good things! ”

"But no, I don't grow crops, I only grow vegetables, and I see the autumn and drink the northwest wind."

Chunni was the closest to these two people, and when she heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and was about to scold. Mrs. Liu, who didn't want to stand next to her, moved faster, and spit at Aunt Zhang's feet with a mouthful of saliva, "You bad-tongued girl, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't open your mouth!" If you can say good things, you can say them, and if you can't say them, you will keep your mouth shut. My son has worked hard to grow vegetables, why is it against the sky? God, even if you are angry, you will be killed by thunder, rotten tongue! ”

The old lady has just gotten along better with her son and daughter-in-law these days, and when she thinks of the old crooked heart before, she regrets it, and she can't wait to slap her mouth. As a result, Zhang Er and his wife hit the muzzle of the gun like this, and the old lady naturally showed no mercy and scolded them for being a bloody squirt.

Second Aunt Zhang glared and was about to scold back, but Pu Cao stopped with a wry smile, "If the second uncle and second aunt are dissatisfied with me, just blame." Just don't curse this vegetable for not growing, after all, the whole village is counting on this one to make a fortune and marry a daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law. ”

She is clearly persuading her, but she is actually beating everyone. Sure enough, hearing this, the villagers who were originally stupid to watch the excitement immediately became excited. But that's not the truth, Pucao has promised to teach everyone to make a fortune together if the trial is successful. This vegetable field is not the Zhang family's Liu family now, and if it is bigger, it is the experimental field of the whole village. If Zhang Er's family's curse comes true, it will cut off the wealth of the whole village.

Thinking like this, the old men and ladies who were old and senior all spoke, "Zhang Er, what did you two say, you can't see the villagers living a good life, right?" ”

"That's it, that is, as long as it is planted with hard sweat, God will bless the harvest."

"God doesn't look down on the people who are lazy and lazy, it's really retribution, and it doesn't have to be anyone's house?"

Zhang Er and his family were surrounded in the middle, their ears were full of scolding from everyone, the two of them were so angry that they wanted to talk about the "Confucianism" of the group, but they didn't have the courage, so they had to flick their sleeves and turn their heads and leave.

Everyone scolded before they could enjoy it, and when they saw this, they turned to Li Zheng and a few clan elders and complained, "It's really unlucky to have this family in our village, and we have never seen everyone get a little better, so it's time to drive them out of the village." ”

Li Zheng and several clan elders also don't like Zhang Er's family, but the older generation is the most particular about doing things, leaving room for them, but anyone who can bear it will turn a blind eye. They would not have done such a thing of driving people out of the village to take their livelihood.

Li Zheng stroked a few sparse beards on his chin, and said in a deep voice, "Their family has not done any great evil except for being disgusted by others, so let's take a look." If there is anything too out of the ordinary in the future, it is not too late to pick it up. ”

After speaking, he diverted the conversation and said, "The grass and trees on the mountain have not grown up these days, and I am afraid that the grass seedlings planted in the field will attract the scourge of animals." Since everyone is going to follow next year, why don't you make some effort first, and the younger students in the village take turns to help keep vigil at night, how about it? ”

Kong Wuye, the old man, was the most straightforward and righteous, and he was the first to respond when he heard this, "Cheng, how can there be any silver in the world that has been picked up for nothing, since the whole village has to follow the light, why should I make some effort first." This vigil is one of my tigers. ”

Huzi is the eldest grandson of the old man, he is seventeen years old this year, and he is full of energy, and he can't wait for twelve hours a day to be daylight. Hearing this, he immediately shouted, "Okay, grandpa, I'll come tonight, in case a wild boar comes down from the mountain or something, I'll also hunt one, then our family won't have to buy meat for a year." ”

(During the flowering period, I begged the tiger to touch and comfort, woo, and took the plane home, but there were more than 100 people on the whole plane, and I was a seasick person, vomiting seven meat and eight vegetables, and now I occasionally feel that the world is spinning.) Is there anything more tragic than me, first tossed a chapter, wrote about the spring scene, and felt a lot more refreshing in my heart. Ha ha. I'll pay off my debts as soon as I recover.

By the way, there is one more thing, the brain is not too powerful during the flowering period, and I never dare to try to double open. Therefore, I am currently working hard to write a book in Xiaoyuan, and I have not opened a new article on the outer station. The most advanced is busy with the publication of Ruixue, and the update is slower, but the plot of Xiaoyuan has entered the second half, and the flowering period is guaranteed to be more and more exciting, so everyone is looking forward to it.
