There are people in the family these days, and there is no need for Ziqing to guard the house, Ziqing wants to go to the bazaar to find something new, sweet potatoes haven't been found yet, I heard others say that someone planted them, Ziqing mainly wants to plant sweet potatoes to facilitate feeding pigs, and the vine leaves can be dried and put into the winter for pigs to eat. There are also fruit trees, I wonder if there are any saplings sold?

Early in the morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Ziqing asked Shen for a string of money, saying that he would go to the bazaar with his eldest brother and them. Shen didn't ask much, since buying chickens and selling couplets, Shen trusted a few children not to spend money blindly, besides, in her mind, if there were no potato and watermelon seeds bought by Ziqing, how could there be a good day today. Of course, Ziqing didn't know that Shen's heart relied on her so much.

Before going out, Zilu and Zishou followed to go, Zifu untied the rope stringing copper plates, and loaded twenty wen for Zilu and Ziqing, Zishou also put five wen, and he took the rest himself.

The four of them arrived at the bazaar in the town, there were too many people, and it was summer, and it was really unbearable for all kinds of smells and sweat to mix together, and when they were about to go home, Zishou shouted: "Isn't that grandma?" What is Grandma doing? ”

Zifu said: "Grandma is selling cold tofu." Let's go. ”

Zishou said: "Big brother, I want to eat, I have money." ”

In this case, Zifu didn't know how to explain it to his younger brother.

Ziqing saw that the Tian family had already seen them at this time, and it was not good to leave. So I walked over to say hello, it turned out that Tian's sold cold noodles made of lotus root powder, here it is called green tofu, add a little sugar and vinegar, sweet and sour, it is very suitable to eat in summer, and when Ziqing was born, my mother would make it herself to eat. There is also a black one, called grass tofu, which is made from a kind of grass cut in the mountains, and the cost is very low, and Ziqing has eaten it before. Ziqing stood for a while and found that black was a penny a bowl, green tofu was a penny, and business was not bad.

A few people stood there, and Tian didn't mean to give them food, so he said to Zifu: "The day after tomorrow, someone comes to visit your relatives at home, you let your father come over, it's nothing, take your younger brothers and sisters back early, it's too hot this day." ”

"Grandma, I want to eat cold tofu." Zishou saw that no one had helped him ask for cold tofu for a long time, so he opened his mouth.

Tian listened to it, took out a little bit of scrap from the bucket with his hand, stuffed it into Zishou's mouth, and said, "Okay, I've eaten, let's go home, Grandma still has to sell it for money." ”

Zishou broke away from Tian's hand and said, "Grandma, I want a whole bowl and sugar, like them." ”

"Why are they all reincarnated like gluttonous ghosts, didn't they say that Grandma wants to sell for money? Hurry home. ”

"Grandma, I have money, you see." After speaking, Zishou took out the five copper plates in his pocket.

Tian was stunned, and really reached out to take the copper plate, Zifu's face quickly changed, Ziqing was also very angry, I really wanted to pull Zishou and leave, but the copper plate was already in Tian's hands, wouldn't it be cheap for her not to eat it? Not to mention, Tian's craftsmanship is still good, after a while, he made four bowls of black, sweet and sour, and chilled them with well water, Zishou quickly finished eating, Ziqing asked him: "Little San, do you still want to eat?" Zishou nodded.

Ziqing said to Tian to get another bowl of grass tofu, Tian was a little unhappy, but she quickly reacted that she accepted five copper plates from her grandson and hurriedly made another bowl for Zishou.

After eating, Ziqing wanted to go on shopping, "Big brother, what is a kiss?" Ziqing remembered Tian's words just now.

"Seeing relatives is what the matchmaker said is good, if you have the intention, take a look at each other, the little girl's family, don't inquire about these." Zifu explained.

It turned out to be Xia Yu's matter, Ziqing was still more sympathetic to her second aunt, and I heard that she was delayed by illness when she was a child.

After looking around, there is no Ziqing's picture, the pear is the kind of color that does not slip in autumn, it is not big, there are still a few plums, but this fruit can't be on the table, Ziqing wants to find that kind of big duck pear, look at the water, can also be sold at a price, the most important thing is to find that kind of sweet orange, can be put in the Spring Festival, the color is still festive, and delicious, it can be sold at a good price, but where can I find it?

"Big brother, what kind of fruit do you like to eat the most?" Ziqing asked, wanting to learn more from the side of the eldest brother's mouth.

"Fruit, how could we eat fruit in our family's previous conditions, and my brother ate watermelon for the first time this year."

"Big brother, you have always eaten any fruits that don't cost money, and you have always seen what fruit trees other people have in their homes." Ziqing continued to ask.

"Fruit tree, by the way, don't you always go with Xiushui to steal the peaches in front of the door, and the orange tree next door, Xiuying and Aunt Xiushui don't always let you sentry, they take bamboo poles to poke, you don't remember, you also said that his mandarin oranges are delicious, they are powdered, don't you remember?" Zifu asked.

"Brother, what I'm asking is if you've seen it, not me." Fortunately, my brain spins fast.

"I know that last year's Mid-Autumn Festival aunt also took a few green oranges from her mother's house, but it was very sour, by the way, and pomegranates." The second brother remembered.

Oranges can be considered for planting, but this is not like sweet oranges that can be kept for a long time, and besides, sweet oranges can still be sold for a high price. Ziqing's favorite is still sweet oranges, such as the Gannan navel orange that she loved to eat in her previous life, which can only be sold at a good price if it is delicious, since you want to plant it, you must grow high-quality products, just like watermelons, but the income of fruits can not be seen in the short term.

Ziqing is worried that more and more watermelons will be grown, and her own income will decrease year by year, so she has to look for alternative products. However, it is obviously not the season for all kinds of oranges and oranges to go on the market, so you can only go to Anzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival to look for them. Apples are not suitable for planting here, but I saw a small apple, called Shaguo, which is noodle and not delicious at all.

After turning around for a long time, Ziqing also found a kind of melon, but it is called pear melon locally, although the selling price is not high, it is still possible to grow some in your own vegetable field to satisfy your hunger. Ziqing picked a few, and also picked a few pears, and only found six fist-sized ones in the market, hoping for a genetic mutation in the future. The peaches are gone, and they're out of the market early.

"By the way, little sister, I remembered, there are two orange trees or orange trees in Grandma's vegetable field, more than a foot high, Grandma said to shovel, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shovel when I grow up in the future, and the children will steal oranges and harm the vegetable field." Zifu said.

"Then you remember to dig it up in the winter, remember to tell Grandma and let her keep it, you want it." Ziqing said.

"Also, isn't there a mandarin tree in the newly built stove room of the eldest mother's house? It's just that it hasn't borne fruit yet, so I don't know if it's delicious or not? Zilu said.

"That tree is too big, so my mother is reluctant to give it to us." Zifu said.

This Ziqing is not worried, after bearing fruit, he can always eat a few, and he can just keep the seeds himself.

Back at home, Zifu told his father that Grandma asked him to go over the day after tomorrow, and someone came to see him, Shen said: "It's too anxious to come to see your relatives on such a hot day, isn't it usually the time when the farm is idle after autumn?" ”

"Who knows what's going on, just go the day after tomorrow and know, Xia Yu will be sixteen this year, and it will be delayed for Qiu Yu if it drags on. My mother was also anxious. Zeng Ruixiang said.

Ziqing knew that the women here usually got married at fifteen or sixteen, and they couldn't be later than eighteen, otherwise they would be laughed at.
