Chapter 142: Growing vegetables is not easy
The magpie nodded vigorously, his eyes still full of horror. Pu Cao sighed secretly in her heart, what happened last night was a terrible thing for her, a modern woman whose nerves had already been tempered to be so strong. And the magpie has been bound by the rules of etiquette since she was a child, and she values chastity more than life, so she is naturally more frightened than her, and she feels more humiliated in her heart.
Thinking like this, she hugged the magpie in her arms and comforted her softly, "It's a nightmare, and it will be fine in the future." β
The magpie nodded heavily, tears rolling in his eyes again.
Pu Cao thought about Chunni's family, wiped her tears with a smile and said, "Move to the Westinghouse at night and sleep with us." I'll go to the East Courtyard first, you are taking care of two children at home. β
The magpie hurriedly answered, bowed his head and followed the grass out of the door, and turned to the stove to look for the two children.
The Liu family in the east courtyard was a room of gloom at this time, and the Li family, young and old, gathered in the hall and whispered to persuade Chun Nier, who was angry. As soon as she saw Pucao push the door in, Chunni immediately seemed to see a savior, stepped forward and hugged Pucao's arm and didn't let go, and complained repeatedly, "Pucao, where did you go, you didn't see anyone in the morning?" β
Pu Cao was helpless, patted her and responded, "I was in a bit of a hurry, I ran to the city, and I rushed over without coming back." β
Sister-in-law Li gave up a chair for Pu Cao to sit on, poured a bowl of hot tea for her, and persuaded her sister-in-law, "Pu Cao is tired, you let her rest for a while." β
Chunni had a bitter face, but she still refused to stay away, and finally sat next to Pucao, with a sad and aggrieved face. Pu Cao was naturally reluctant to let her look so panicked, so she drank saliva to moisten her throat and asked the reason.
It turned out that not long after they left the village in the morning, the shopkeeper Sun of the Fugui Building in the city found the door of the Liu family's old house.
Half a month ago, Bai Yunju didn't know what crazy he suddenly smoked, and he forcibly divided half of the unique green vegetable business to various restaurants, and each restaurant took the opportunity to launch many new tricks.
Only Fuguilou was excluded from the door, and the courtyard became increasingly cold. Qian Dafu didn't know how much porcelain he had secretly dropped, and there was no way in the end, so he couldn't be cheeky enough to beg his rival to share his share. Let's not talk about whether people will agree, even his face has no place to rest.
On the one hand, the shopkeeper Sun tried his best to please the owner, and on the other hand, he punished several restless cooks and boys with punishments, which barely stabilized people's hearts. However, God seemed to be going against him, and Bai Yunju suddenly got a new food.
Those inconspicuous beans sprouted, but a wisp of garlic sprouts was added to the color, which actually attracted so many diners, and almost crowded the door of Baiyunju
At this moment, there is no need for Qian Dafu to stare at and scold angrily, and Shopkeeper Sun himself began to lose his breath. Last night, he thought about it for half a night, and the Liu family's vegetables have been planted for more than ten days, even if he can't cut back two baskets and send them to the kitchen immediately, but dig back a few trees for the owner to eat a reassuring pill, and by the way, it's always good to decorate the faΓ§ade.
Thinking like this, he got up early in the morning and went straight to Nangou.
The three members of the Liu family stole into the Zhang's vegetable shed before, and in a hurry, they only learned some superficial fur, where did they know many of them, and after returning home, they changed the wing room and planted the rapeseeds.
A family of three watering and burning the fire is also diligent, and they are looking forward to making a fortune selling vegetables. It's a pity that the rapeseed seems to be asleep, and it just refuses to sprout. Finally, on the seventh and eighth day, near the stove, a few little cabbage seedlings finally appeared, and the family almost kowtowed to thank God.
But it was too early to see that they were rejoicing, and after another seven or eight days, except for the few little cabbage seedlings that grew two fingers taller, no more green seedlings appeared anywhere else.
No matter how stupid the three of the Liu family are, they finally understand that they are afraid that something is wrong. Half of the day I made an appointment with Fuguilou to pick up vegetables has passed, and now I haven't made up enough vegetable seedlings, so I can't make a difference? You have to find a way to live or die.
Therefore, that day, when he heard that Liu Housheng and the Zhang family killed the New Year's pig together, Liu Shuisheng was chased by his good-looking father. He originally planned to beg his brother to go home for a few words, and by the way, he would catch another piece of pork to satisfy his hunger. Unexpectedly, the brother who has always been honest and honest actually cleaned up the dog's leftovers with great power, and he was so frightened that he crawled back.
This morning, the family of three had dinner and gathered together to go to the wing, looking at the bare seedbed and frowning. Old man Liu opened the stove and added a few branches, and just squatted down before he could speak, black smoke was already rising from the junction of the stove on the side, choking him to cough. So, he raised his hand and slapped his youngest son and scolded angrily, "You are blind, you can't buy a tin tube, and you smoke outside every day..."
Mrs. Liu was distressed, and hurriedly picked up her son with a weak face, and defended him, "Our son is also the first time to buy a tin tube, how do you know that the blacksmith's black heart is so rough?" After a while, just plug it with a little mud. β
Old man Liu wanted to scold a few more words, but the black smoke had already overflowed half of the room, causing him to cough and gasp hard. Liu Shuisheng hurriedly ran to open the window, but he didn't want to, the water vapor that he had held all night had soaked the window paper soft and wet, and he broke several big holes as soon as he touched his hands.
The cold wind whistled in, blowing dust from the tin bucket flying everywhere. Old man Liu couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up the stove hook and began to chase and beat his son.
Liu Shuisheng was so frightened that he ran out, the father and son chased and fled in the yard like this, Mrs. Liu waved her hands and jumped her feet to stop it, it was the lively time, and the carriage of Fuguilou arrived at the door.
The family of three saw that the shopkeeper Sun, who was wearing a brocade robe and holding a stove in his hand, immediately became a little shorter. pushed each other forward and cautiously saluted, and in the end, they flattered and flattered each other, and wanted to invite the shopkeeper Sun to come in and sit down for tea.
It's a pity that Shopkeeper Sun didn't pay attention to them at all. If you want to drink tea, there are no good teahouses in the city, and he came to the vegetables in the wind and snow all the way.
The three members of the Liu family really couldn't do it, so they had to open the door of the wing room and invite the shopkeeper Sun in. Sure enough, Shopkeeper Sun swept around and didn't see any greenery, and immediately pointed to the empty room and scolded, "Where are the vegetables you grow?" Didn't you say that it could be delivered to our restaurant in a month? It's been more than half a month, why don't you have a single vegetable seedling? β
Old man Liu and Liu Shuisheng's eyes were rolling around, and they couldn't think of any good words for a while. Mrs. Liu couldn't, so she came to the front with a smile on her face and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, don't worry." Growing vegetables in this winter is not something that can be done in a moment, and our family always has to think about it for a few more days before they can grow it. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the thin cabbage seedlings next to the stove and smiled, "Besides, we have been busy these days and have touched a little bit of the doorway, you see, those cabbage seedlings are growing well." We'll plant another handful of rapeseed in front of the stove tomorrow, and we'll be able to cut a basket in half a month..."
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the three or five little seedlings that seemed to be brought down by the breeze that could easily blow them down, and he was so angry that the corners of his forehead were bruised. This Liu family's green vegetables are the last hope of Fuguilou, if the owner knows that this life-saving straw is gone, then his fate...
He shuddered, and heard Mrs. Liu still chattering in his ears, and raised his hand and slapped her twice, "Damn old woman, who are you fooling around?" Why didn't you say that you wouldn't grow vegetables when you advanced the money? Twenty taels of silver were deposited for you, and you actually planted so many things? Don't hurry up and give me the money, or we'll go to the city to file a lawsuit!" β
Mrs. Liu was right, but she was suddenly beaten around, and she stumbled and trampled the only few vegetable seedlings back to the land.
When Liu Shuisheng heard that the shopkeeper Sun asked for silver, he was still shouting that he wanted to file a lawsuit, and he was so frightened that he was about to sneak out. But the little guy who followed Sun's shopkeeper was not a fool, so he grabbed him and pulled him.
Old man Liu and Mrs. Liu are full of money fans, and they have always collected money, so how can they take it out. At this time, when I heard that the shopkeeper Sun asked for a deposit, it was like digging their hearts and livers, and they refused to take it out anyway.
Old man Liu looked at the old woman's red and swollen cheeks, and his eyes turned desperately. Mrs. Liu was stunned, and it took a while for her to guess what the old man meant. So he lay down on the ground and began to roll and cry, and his mouth kept shouting, "Oops, my ears are deaf, I can't live!" I need silver for my injuries, and I want to buy medicine..."
Old man Liu also took the opportunity to open the door of the wing room and ran to the yard to shout, "Help, help." The people in the city have deceived the door, and the people in the city are going to kill people! β
I have to say that the villagers in Nangou Village are still very kind and protective. Although the Liu family is really not very popular on weekdays, but living in a village, there is always a sense of friendship. When the neighbors heard this, they immediately put down their work, picked up pickaxes and brooms, and gathered together.
When the three members of the Liu family saw the neighbors coming, they felt that they had a backer. Old man Liu and his son supported the old lady who was rolling in mud, and cried loudly, "Oh, the people in this city are too bullying, and they actually beat my old wife and son's ears deaf, folks, help!" They didn't look at our Nangou Village, and they all hit the door. β
When the shopkeeper Sun heard this, his face turned even more purple, and he took out the deed paper in his arms and scolded, "Okay, you Liu family, this is planning to rely on the silver of our rich building." At the beginning, I said that I would advance 20 taels of silver to help you build a vegetable shed, and all the vegetables you grow will be sold to our restaurant. Now that more than half a month has passed, not a single vegetable seedling has been planted, and you are still planning to lose the deposit. Are you really easy to bully when we are rich and noble? The deed is in my hand, so you can wait to go to prison. β
When the dozen or so villagers behind the three members of the Liu family heard this, their faces were a little bad. Originally, the Liu family planted vegetables and caused everyone to dislike, but now that there is a mess, the people in the village are kind if they don't fall into the well, where are they willing to get their hands dirty? (Drilled a tooth, cried for half an afternoon, burned all night.) When I woke up this morning, my eyes were swollen into a slit. I'm going to try my best to pay off my debts today. οΌ
