49. Early suspicion
Before dawn broke the next day, the Xie family began another busy day.
For breakfast, Xie Qingshan drank a bowl of corn porridge with radish pickles, ate a steamed bun with sorghum, wheat and yellow rice, and ate a boiled egg at the urging of Xie Wang.
After eating, I went to the shed and cut five baskets of leeks and garlic, and when I drove the mule cart to the county seat, the sky was still not bright and the cold fog was filled. Xie Qingshan couldn't wait for the fog to clear, and He Ping'an drove the mule into the wet and cold mist.
When I arrived at the county seat, the sky was already bright, and the cold fog had almost dispersed. Xie Qingshan first took Ping'an to Yaxing to find Han Zhengye and gave him a basket of fresh vegetables that were fresh and tender.
Han Zhengye asked how his family's vegetable shed was growing, and when he heard that Xie Qingshan had invited twenty people to work together, he shook his head again and again: "Not enough!" Inadequate! When did those people dig up? The food in your shed can only be supplied for a month, and if another restaurant orders it, it won't even be able to supply it for half a month! I see that sooner or later it will be out of stock, you should find more people to work as soon as possible, and if you don't have enough money, come to me! ”
Xie Qingshan hurriedly excused himself and said that he would hire some more people to work when he went back.
Han Zhengye said again for a while: "I left a handful of garlic and leeks yesterday, I let my family make it, and it tastes better than when I went to the capital two years ago, there is no spicy taste to the nose, no tendons, crispy, and fragrant!" Ordinary people can't afford to eat, so the rich and noble people are not short of these small money! ”
He also sent his son Hongcai to go with him to the three restaurants where he ordered food, to lead him and recognize people, and it was convenient to deliver food in the future.
The three restaurants are the Zuixiao Building next to Jinhu Street in Nancheng District, which orders 40 catties a day, and the Chunfeng Building in Xiangfan Lane and the Yunlai Hotel on Tongque Street are 30 catties a day.
These three restaurants are almost all along the vicinity of Jinhu Street, the middle street of the county, and in less than half an hour, Xie Qingshan drove the mule cart to deliver it quickly, and did not delay the restaurant to welcome customers at noon.
The silver money was settled on the spot, which was the price that Han Zhengye discussed with the restaurant, thirty-five yuan per catty, and he earned a total of three taels and five yuan in one morning, and Xie Qingshan, who was happy, couldn't stop laughing. Ping An also ran away for a while from time to time, yearning for something on his face.
There is a basket of vegetables left to be sent to the Fu family, and it has long been said that after planting the vegetables, it will be sent to Fu Lao Dao's grandfather and grandson to taste, and they can't break their promises!
On the way there, Xie Qingshan flicked his whip briskly, and while driving the mule, he said to Xie Ping'an: "It's only a hundred catties to sell for some money, which is more profitable than we made an autumn mountain goods in previous years!" At the beginning, Xuanxuan said that she would let me plant winter vegetables, but I was afraid that I would not succeed, so I only planted one acre, and I really regretted it this time! ”
Ping'an also smiled: "Who would have thought that this ordinary dish would be sold in winter, if we were ordinary people, who would be willing to spend money to eat it?" I'd rather eat two pounds more meat! ”
"It's just that we don't have this technology, and we don't have this vision. Xuanxuan told me that day that the poor people's money is not easy to earn, even if they earn, they can't earn much, if they want to earn, they can earn the money of the rich, their money is easy to come and go, and it is really good! ”
Xie Qingshan said with a smile, he flicked his light whip and let the mule run briskly.
When Ping An heard this, he didn't know what he thought, and his face was a little speechless.
"Dad, if I say something that I don't like, don't hit me."
Xie Qingshan turned his head and glanced at him: "You talk about it first, I'll listen to it." ”
"Since Xuanxuan woke up that time, I think she looks like a different person...... It's completely different from the original! Even if, as she said, she spent years in her dreams when she was in a coma, who taught her all these things? I've always felt that this thing is evil......"
Before Xie Ping'an finished speaking, the whip in Xie Qingshan's hand was pulled over without a head.
"Oops! Father! You stop, I said you don't beat me......" Xie Ping'an begged for mercy while hiding, but the place on the mule cart was not big, and he was quick to hide, and he really received a few whips.
"I'll make you wicked! I think you're evil, what are you doing foolishly? Xie Qingshan twitched a few times in the thick part of his clothes behind his back, "No Xuanxuan, can our family have today?" Can you buy a big Zhuangzi? Can the two nephews go to school? Can a matchmaker come to you from time to time to tell you about your daughter-in-law? You bastard......"
"Daddy! Father! I was wrong! I just wondered in my heart, where did I forget my roots? If the Li family dares to move Xuanxuan, I dare to go up and fight hard! Xie Ping'an squatted on the mule cart, shouting with his head back and his head in his hands as he dodged.
Xie Qingshan stopped the whip in his hand, turned his body and continued to drive the mule, and said lightly: "You and my mother are fools? Xuanxuan has changed so much, we can't see it? Your mother felt that something was wrong as soon as Xuanxuan woke up, her eyes were not different from Xuanxuan's, and her accent was not ours, but it looked like it was from Kyoto, which scared your mother to think that the ghost was on her body......"
"And you're still like you're all right?" Xie Ping'an couldn't help but ask.
"You stupid boy, your mother tested her when she spoke later, and asked her about her when she was a child, and she remembered everything clearly, where can the ghost know this?" Xie Qingshan glared at him and continued: "Later, Xuanxuan said that after passing out that day, the soul drifted somewhere, and it drifted outside for many years before slowly coming back. After a few years outside, it is enough for one person to grow up...... Can that person grow up to be exactly the same as when he was a child? ”
"She has been in a coma for two or three days, where will the soul go for two or three miles?" Xie Ping'an was puzzled.
"Silly boy, haven't you heard the old saying, one day on earth, one year in heaven?" Xie Qingshan didn't look back, and asked lightly.
"You mean...... During the three days that Xuanxuan was in a coma, her soul floated to the sky? Xie Ping'an asked in disbelief.
“…… I don't know......" Xie Qingshan hesitated for a while before he said slowly: "Langzhong also said that day, whether you can wake up or not, it's up to fate...... No matter what Xuanxuan experienced in the past few days in a coma, it was definitely not her willingness, who is such a delicate and expensive girl, she can't even stand not applying facial grease after washing her face, and she is willing to come to our poor family......"
"Then you're not afraid of anything unclean...... Xie Ping'an asked in a lost voice, seeing his father's angry gaze, he couldn't help but swallow back the second half of the words.
"Xuanxuan just woke up, your mother took advantage of the time to ask for an exorcism charm on the Baiyun Temple, sewn it in Xuanxuan's shoes, she stepped on it every day, and now it's fine, don't we think about it too much?" Xie Qingshan said lightly:
"Even Xuanxuan is really ...... That's also a good girl, otherwise how would she tell us some ways, and she is also wholeheartedly devoted to our family. is an ordinary family, a little kindness to us, but also to remember for a lifetime, not to mention that she has done some miles for our family! As the saying goes: Acting only depends on whether you are kind or not, and being confused has its own blessings. There are some things, why do you have to get to the bottom of it, it hurts your face and makes people feel uncomfortable......"
The mule cart was walking on the country road, and Xie Qingshan's whisper was accompanied by the sound of the mule's hooves floating in the air, and it was slowly blown away by the cold wind......
