After Xia Yu left, Ziqing asked Shen: "Mother, are the potatoes still easy to sell today?" How much can you sell for a pound? ”

"Hey, in the past few years, there have been more potatoes planted, and they can't be sold at a high price, so they are easier to sell in a famine year, and now a good year is a penny and a catty, and a famine year is two pennies and a catty [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 222]. Fortunately, the yield is high, and it does not use good land, but it does not lose money, and it is stronger than other species. However, in the dry land outside, our family still grows wheat. ”

Ziqing knows that rice is grown in a large area in the local area, and the dry land is generally sandy and hillside, which is not suitable for growing wheat, but the wheat is more precious. This is also the reason why the old man does not want japonica rice, but wants a stone of wheat. If the wasteland bought by Ziqing can be transformed and used to grow wheat, it will really be a good way to make a fortune.

As he was talking, Ziyu accompanied He Shi in, and it turned out that the two of them saw Xia Yu coming over and knew that they had something to say, so they hid in the back mountain to see if the peach blossoms had bloomed.

"Grandma, come and try my knitting sweater, it's warm in two days, just change it on." Ziqing opened the sweater and wanted to change it for He.

"Oh, I've heard that your sweater can sell for five taels of silver. Don't give it to my wife, I don't have to spoil the good things. He hurriedly waved his hand and declined.

"Grandma, what do you say? Don't say five taels, it's fifty taels and one piece, shouldn't your granddaughter be filial to you? Ziqing said as she helped He take off the big padded jacket outside.

"No, mother, this child has this filial piety, you have to fulfill her, now, she is not short of things, and her life is good." Shen also persuaded on the side, thinking of Ziqing's current life, Shen is a hundred satisfied in his heart, his son-in-law is not only capable, but it is rare to be good to Ziqing.

He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. It is said that when you are old, you can still enjoy the blessings of your granddaughter, and the food and clothing are all rare things.

When Ziqing returned home, Lin Kangping smiled and handed the child to Xiaoqing and pulled her to see the vegetable patch. "Qing'er, let's go, the seeds I planted have sprouted, it's amazing."

The two walked to the vegetable patch in the garden, and the spring rain was sufficient, not only the seeds germinated quickly, but the wild vegetables and weeds also grew wildly. Lin Shan was squatting on the ground pulling weeds, Ziqing saw that there were still a lot of purses in the field, so he said: "Lin Shan will divide the wild pineapple menu and send it to the stove room, and ask Granny Wang to wrap clear soup to eat early tomorrow morning." "Clear soup is the local name for ravioli.

Lin Kangping loves pasta and always has flour at home. Last time Tian's birthday, Ziqing deliberately said no. Although Ziqing doesn't like to eat pasta, she still likes the clear soup. The dumplings in the north taste dry, but the clear soup made by Mrs. Wang is different, and the soup is fresh. The filling is good, a thin layer of crust, or transparent, you can see the pink meat filling in the bread, the base soup is generally chicken soup or bone broth as the base, thick milky white, floating with a few green chives, I have a great appetite at a glance, every time Zixi comes to eat this, I always have to grab it with Lin Kangping.

Lin Shan promised [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 222, Shurui Hundred Days Chapter]. Single-handedly pulling the shepherd's cabbage first, Ziqing and Lin Kangping also squatted down, looking at the seed field that Lin Kangping picked up, peppers and cucumbers were the first to emerge, and the seed coat of watermelon was thick, and it was estimated that it would take a few days.

"This is the first time I've grown something myself. In the future, if you teach me slowly, I will definitely be able to learn, I was originally a farmer's son, but I was wasted for a few years. These days, I always go to see the wasteland, and the first ploughed land will be put for a few days to make manure. It is estimated that it will take a few days to complete the whole work. A batch of chicks is hatching at the Orange Orchard, and with the batches bought in the spring, there are almost 5,000 chickens. There were about fifty sheep, and the rabbits were not clear. Lin Kangping helped Ziqing to stand up.

"Be sure to tell them that the nest should be sprinkled with quicklime regularly, that the straw should be changed frequently, that they should be careful of the rats, and that if they find them, they must be disposed of with poison. By the way, what happened to those cats? ”

"Got it, don't worry, you've said it hundreds of times, and I'll go around every day." After Lin Kangping finished speaking, he pinched Ziqing's face and said, "It's really a worrying life." ”

"Now you start to nag me, and when I'm old and serious in the future, you won't have to go far from me." Ziqing hugged Lin Kangping's waist and raised his head and said, forgetting that there was Lin Shan who was working with his head bowed next to him.

Lin Kangping kissed Ziqing on the lips, "How can it, I love to listen to my family Qing'er, even if I dislike my son, I can't dislike you." ”

The two were talking sweetly in the vegetable field, Lin Shan was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged a handful of purses and ran away, and when Ziqing reacted, Lin Kangping's waist was twisted by Ziqing several times, which provoked Lin Kangping to directly carry Ziqing into the room and go to the kang.

Most of the spring in the south is the rainy season, all day and night, the house is damp everywhere, things love to be moldy, when it is sunny, it is necessary to take out all kinds of clothes to dry, so Ziqing still lives on the kang, so it is good to boil hot water every day to wash, and the residual temperature is enough to smoke the big kang, at least it is not damp. So Ziqing lives on the kang for almost half a year in a year.

The peach blossoms in the peach forest are blooming, but unfortunately it always rains day by day, so it falls all over the ground, which is to save Ziqing's matter, the peach blossoms are too dense and the peaches in the future are not sweet. Ziqing likes to sit in the fragrance pavilion and watch the peach blossoms, especially in the rain to see the peach blossoms, there is always a sense of ethereal fairyland, the clear garden shrouded in light smoke, like a paradise, beautiful and quiet, Ziqing sometimes can't tell whether she is in a dream or in reality.

Zixi passed the county exam very smoothly, and he still ranked second, and now Zilu's newly bought yard is preparing for the state exam, and Shen occasionally goes over to see him, so Ziqing often picks up He and Zeng Ruixiang, Chen's mother and son, and Ziyu to come over for dinner.

After dinner, Zeng Ruixiang loves to sit by the pontoon bridge fishing, this season crucian carp is more, good fishing, the palm of the crucian carp soup is the best, sometimes can not eat, will also send to Tian's they sent, the old man heard that it was fishing in the pond of Qingyuan, nothing to come and walk around, fishing, sometimes also stay to eat. Ziqing saw that they would rather sit on the pontoon bridge with a hat in a cloak than stay at home, which was really incomprehensible.

The days are on March 24th, the 100th day of Shurui, the rainy season finally stopped, the old man walked over after dinner without anything, took a small bench and sat on the side of the pontoon, Lin Kangping didn't know where to get a few soft-shelled turtles, pulled Ziqing to release them together, picked a big one to keep to make soup, and threw the rest into the pond, saying: "Wait for them to grow up slowly, maybe in a few years we don't have to go out to buy soft-shelled turtles if we want to eat them." ”

When the old man heard this, he suddenly said: "I heard that when digging lotus roots, there are a lot of yellow eels in the pond, and the yellow eels in spring should come out, so let's catch them and eat them." ”

Ziqing was interested when she heard it, and hurriedly said yes. The old man went back and took a few bamboo baskets, this bamboo basket is different from the general one, the middle is large, the two ends are small, the back is covered with a net pocket, the hemp rope is braided, the old man put a lot of earthworms in the bamboo basket, and put the bamboo basket on the edge of the pond.

Lin Shan Lin Feng also grew up in the countryside, and it was the naughty age, they used the fish hook to directly put on the earthworm, put it into the round hole on the bank of the pond, busy and happy, occasionally can pull out a yellow eel, but unfortunately the effect is not great. Seeing Ziqing's lack of interest, the original intention to try it was gone, so he turned to guard the bamboo basket put by the old man, and after a quarter of an hour or two, he lifted it to take a look, and he grabbed three or two, and the old man complained that Ziqing was too anxious.

At this time, He's, Zeng Ruixiang and Shen's came over, all holding things in their hands, He's gave Shurui a small long-lived golden lock, Shen and Chen's are also small golden locks and collars with a pair of clothes, Ziyu made a pair of tiger head shoes, Zeng Ruixiang was surprised to see the old man, and thought that the old man and Tian came over early in the morning to give Ziqing's child a hundred days.

When the old man saw everyone's things, his face was a little sneering, Zeng Ruixiang understood in his heart, and pressed the disappointment in his heart, and still told Lin An to go to the old house and invite the big guy to come over for dinner. The old house has Tian's family, Zeng Ruiqing's family, and it is the rice planting season, so Zeng Ruiqing is also at home. In addition, Qiuyu's family also took the initiative to come, there are not many people, and a large table is enough.

Qiu Yu gave a set of clothes, shoes and socks, and Tian Shi patted his head and said, "It's really confused, I actually forgot that the little thing is 100 days today." ”

Zhou also clapped his hands and said, "Don't you really forget, I still wonder what a good day today is, and I actually called us to dinner." ”

"Look at what the eldest lady said, it seems that we are treating us for the sake of the eldest lady, this is not just Ah Gong came over today, caught a few yellow eels, Kang Ping bought a soft-shelled turtle, and asked everyone to come over and have a lively time, there is no other meaning." Ziqing said, thinking to herself, if you have a heart or not, you will know that it is better not to send it, and the province will toss and give a gift in return, if it weren't for the old man here, I would really be too lazy to call them over today.

As he was talking, Xiaolan brought a pot of soup cooked by Mrs. Wang with eel and soft-shelled turtle, the soup was milky white and thick, with the taste of the soft-shelled turtle soup that He burned many years ago in his memory, and Xiaoqing served soup to everyone at the table.

"I caught this yellow eel with great difficulty, and there should be braised crucian carp in a while, which I also caught." The old man was busy, mainly to tear the topic away, he also forgot that today is the 100th day of his great-grandson, but even if he remembers, I'm afraid the old woman will not be willing to spend money to send something good, he knows the old woman's mind too well, and the money in his hand is richer, either for Chunyu or for Qiuyu's children to buy food, but now he is a little lighter for Xia Yu, and he knows that the second child is taking care of him.

Zeng Ruiqing was also interested when he heard it, and said: "I was also naughty when I was young, digging birds' nests, fishing frogs, and catching loaches were good hands, but unfortunately I haven't done it for many years, so I have to try it later." ”

After the meal, I hurriedly found a fishing rod, dug some earthworms myself, threw the fishing rod into the water, and went to find the yellow eel hole. (To be continued)
