After Laba, Kushui Township began to be busy.

This year's harvest is better, the tax burden is less, the New Year can cut meat and sell wine, visit relatives and friends, and the family is happy to Taotao; If the year is not good and encounters natural disasters and military disasters, then as long as there is a New Year's meal to eat, it is good.

Liangzhou has been poisoned by war all the year round, and naturally it is not as good as other state capitals in the southeast, even after Laba, the atmosphere of the busy year in the village and town is not strong, only the price is expensive, but the water and soil in Layue are three points more expensive, which is the norm.

In the past few days, it has rained a few snow hailheads, the snow covers the mountain, and the matter of collecting medicinal herbs on the mountain has been put on hold, and Shengzi has been there for two days, and has not caught any prey.

Fortunately, Luo Shi has saved a few taels of silver in his hands, and he will not worry about the New Year.

Since she was at home, she began to tinker with chili seeds. The weather in Liangzhou is cold, and the chili peppers are not cold-tolerant, so if she wants to grow spicy seeds here, she must use greenhouse technology. Although she is not an agricultural student, she has planted a few peppers in a foam box at home, and she was curious at the time, so she did check a few agricultural books and build a greenhouse shed in a decent manner, so she still has some experience.

There is a discarded vegetable patch behind the yard, covered with sand and gravel, and overgrown with yellow weeds. Luo Shi asked Shengzi to help reclaim it half a month ago, and prepared to use it to grow peppers and some out-of-season vegetables. She bent a long piece of bamboo strip into a half-fan bow shape and inserted it at one end and in the center of the vegetable patch - because it is densely planted with two ridges and two rows, it is about one and a half feet wide and a half to build a shed, with a total of two rows of greenhouses.

The bamboo strips are covered with a thin layer of oilcloth, and Luo Shi has tried to pick the best oilcloth with the best light transmittance, which is certainly inferior to the modern shed film, but it is almost the same.

She also spread firewood, grass and wheat in the vegetable field to keep warm, before the pepper seeds, first plant some spinach, leeks to test the fertility, in the late winter wax moon normal vegetable field only white song radish, with greenhouse, Luo Shi thought that Chinese New Year's Eve dinner can also eat garlic spinach and leek spring cakes, I feel delicious.

Now planted at this time, Yuan Chun can harvest the first batch of spicy seeds, Luo Shi drools when she thinks about it, and she doesn't eat spicy food for many days, she really dreams about it every night.

Besides, the spicy vegetable workshop of Bird Banyan is also booming.

She opened up a piece of land in the backyard of her home, hired someone to build a shed with wooden pillars, set up many pots and clay pots, and made spicy dishes according to the assembly line production method set by Luo Shi earlier, and some rules and regulations, contract documents, and Ficus also copied them all. The first women who began to invest money, the banyan gave them dividends, and the rest of the people who came to work also had to sign the paperwork, and they all had the right to be responsible during the contract period, and there were special personnel responsible for accidents, and the efficiency was more than double that of a general farm workshop.

After hearing this, Luo Shi inevitably admired the scheming of the banyan tree, these things were strange and difficult for the ancients, she actually went to work in a short period of time, she figured out the general context, jumped to another environment, and basically cloned a spicy vegetable workshop.

The first to come out was the spicy strips, Luo Shi knew that the grandmother still hid a hand from the banyan banyan, maybe in addition to the spicy strips, she didn't know the secret recipe of other spicy dishes.

Later, I don't know where the wind got up, and Luo Shi's fiddling with the chili peppers in the greenhouse at home reached the ears of the banyan in the blink of an eye, so early the next morning, she came to the door with many gifts.

Shengzi was burning wheat in the backyard to fertilize, and Luo Shi opened the door for her, and turned sideways to invite someone into the house.

The hall has a new square table of eight immortals and a few benches, and there is always a place to entertain guests, so that everyone will not sit on the kang, which looks poor and inconvenient.

Que Rong walked into the hall, put down the gift he had raised, opened his mouth and put it on first, and said with a smile:

"I came early in the morning, but I bothered my sister? What about Brother Shengzi? I'm hunting in the mountains again."

Luo Shi glanced at the things she had brought, nothing more than a basket of eggs and two brown three-shuttle cloths, and a bowl of red and oily spicy strips, which she held in her other hand, and with a click, put the porcelain bowl on the table.

"He hoes the vegetable field in the backyard, and the farmer's rooster crows, how can there be anything early, do you drink tea?"

"No, no, I'll just drink plain water, I can't sleep in the middle of the night after drinking tea, don't trample on my sister's tea leaves" smiled, and Que Rong's words changed: "Sister, why don't you taste the spicy strips I brought?" This is fresh out of the pot in the morning, see how it tastes, the previous sale to the town business is very good, I originally thought that the north side is not used to eating spicy, and I am still a little apprehensive, but because of the cold weather, spicy food sweats to warm up, everyone likes it, and sells short miles every day! ”

The astringent wind was light, without a trace of envy, and this indifferent expression fell in the eyes of the finch banyan, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"That's congratulations, I've been a little hot these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to taste your spicy strips, why don't I send it to Aunt Cuiying's house and ask her to taste it."

Luo Shi poured her a glass of white water, made a pot of tea by herself, and sipped the hot tea foam, the tea was fragrant and refreshing.

"That's a pity...... I thought my sister was fiddling with the greenhouse to grow peppers, and she liked spicy food, and I saw that there was still about a month before the harvest, so I brought it to you in advance."

Seeing that the banyan had led the topic to the greenhouse peppers, Luo Shi said in her heart:

"You are mistaken, I am greedy for out-of-season vegetables, Bai Song relies on me to make flowers, and I will eat greasy, peppers are just cheap seeds, and I happen to have some seeds in my hand to try to fatten."

In the end, the two of them knew which fat test, but when the words were on the table, it was clear that they would not give her any leeway.

Querong's eyes were dark, and it was inevitable that he would slander in his heart, but he still looked respectful and docile on his face:

"So that's the case, that's what I heard, I thought my sister had such good technology to grow spicy seeds in Liangzhou, so I didn't have to go all the way to Liangzhou to buy spicy seeds, not to mention the cost of the road, and I didn't have to turn the kiln sister of the red sleeve building again and again to sell, it was always a great good thing for my sister to do it."

Luo Shi laughed angrily, what? If she doesn't agree to supply the banyan, will Sister Guiyao's debt be counted on her head?

"The words are not absolute, Goolan is a fire pit, maybe people are looking at you to go to Liangzhou, if you are lucky, you will also meet your husband who knows hot and cold like the banyan girl, and stay with all her heart, that is the accumulation of good virtues, a good thing"

What can be sold in the kiln are some fierce women who refuse to give in, and she makes analogies, insinuating that Que Rong is not even as good as a kiln sister.

Que Rong's face was immediately ugly, her fingers tightly grasped the corner of her sleeve, pulled a reluctant smile, and asked coldly:

"Then my sister is unwilling?"

Luo Shi picked up the tea bowl, according to the reason of the official eunuchs, it was already the meaning of sending guests, took a sip of tea, she smiled:

"Don't want what? I am a village woman and a fool, I only know how to guard my own one-third of an acre, grow my own food, and I don't know what business. Others won't be blushing when they make money, and the girl can lead everyone to earn money and live a good life, I'm happy for you in my heart."

At this point, there is no need to say more.

Que Rong took a deep breath, it was difficult to hide the mean meaning in her eyes, she could not convince herself to give up, the temptation of the greenhouse pepper was too great for her, if there was a way to handle this ugly woman, she must be obedient and obedient for her own use. If it doesn't work, it will ruin her, and she can't be made to become a stumbling block on her way to earning money in the future.

Fang was about to say goodbye, but he saw Shengzi a big fool from the backyard lifting the wind curtain and breaking into the hall, his dark face was stained with yellow mud, and he was carrying a shovel on his shoulder, looking like he had just returned from the field.

"Alright, two!"

He ignored the banyan and spread his hands directly to Luo Shi, looking at it with his eyes, waiting for his reward, and said okay, he served the greenhouse vegetable patch, and she rewarded him with two broad beans. When he saves ten broad beans, he can ask Luo Shi to change a shabu-shabu to eat, which is something he has been thinking about lately.

Luo Shi smiled and took out two broad beans from his cuffs and put them in the palm of his hand-

"Go wash it, it's dirty, and the house will start eating soon"

"Oh, good!"

Sheng Zile took the broad bean, the baby seemed to hide in his pocket, crossed his arms over the banyan, and walked to his west house, he pushed open the door, walked straight in, went to the kang bed to rummage through his tin box.

Que Rong was a little surprised, but seeing that there was only a futon and a pillow on the West House Kang, these two people slept in separate rooms?

Turning her head to see that the door of the east room was hidden, she couldn't see the scene inside, but she already had a conjecture in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile in her eyes, and her originally dark face was clouded and rained, and Que Rong couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile at Luo Shi:

"Then don't bother my sister, I'll discuss with my sister when the spicy harvest is finished, I think at that time, you won't refuse me again"

With that, she smiled and turned away.

Luo Xi suddenly heard her words, and her heart was inevitably worried, but after thinking about it, she was not afraid, she seemed to be prepared for what she could handle, so the soldiers would block the water and cover it!

*

The days went on as usual, Luo Shi's fetal pills were drunk, and it happened that Rishengzi was going to enter the town to hand over the leather goods, so she asked him to go to the Rejuvenation Hall.

Staying at home alone, after making lunch and picking up two bites, she went to the greenhouse of the vegetable field, took scissors and small hoes to cut seedlings and cut leaves, thinking that the sun is good now, and the temperature is still high, so she will open the shed film to breathe through the air, and when the temperature drops sharply at night, cover it with a layer of grass to keep warm, and she will not be afraid of frost.

At noon, the drill greenhouse was a little stuffy, and wearing a thick cotton jacket, after a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the neck.

Dusting out of the greenhouse, Luo Shi scooped a basin of hot water into the stove jar, held it in his arms, and planned to go up to the house to scrub his body.

At this time, she saw a man outside the courtyard walking sneakily, pacing back and forth outside the fence, smirking for a while, and sighing for a while, as if he was not in good spirits.

Looking at his face, Luo Shi didn't want to care about him, but if he stayed at the gate of her yard like this, Shengzi was not at home, so he always invited people to gossip.

Thinking so, she twisted her eyebrows and stepped forward, and asked tentatively:

"This big brother, but you're here to find Shengzi?"

The man raised his head, he was a sturdy man, with a wide nose and big eyes, the flesh on his face was edged by edges, and the masseter muscles of his cheeks were always trembling, revealing a brute appearance.

Luo Shi sighed in his heart, this kind of skin-like eyes, probably a ruffian who came back from battlefield killing?

When the man saw Luo Shi, the fierceness gradually dissipated, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he laughed stupidly, he reached out and pinched her wrist, and called the big sister affectionately!

Luo was shocked, the wooden basin in his hand was instantly taken off, and the slightly hot water was splashed at him head-on!

Wow, the man is so hot that he screams!

He was strong, and the tiger's mouth that pinched her wrist slammed hard, Luo Shi snorted in pain, his body was unconsciously weak, and he sat on the ground on his knees.
