169: Cabbage
In mid-February, the siblings spent more than half a month working on the family's fields.
This year, the family's fields were all ploughed by the Wang family's oxen, and it took a day and a half to plow all those fields, and the total cost was 30 yuan.
Speaking of this money, there is a distressed drop of blood when there is righteousness, and there is no money at home to make a living, and I don't know how long it will take to earn back these thirty wen.
However, he couldn't help it, so he could only watch her rent a cow and pay for it.
Xin'er also didn't want him to be too tired, three acres of land, how many days would it take for the two of them to dig it out, and there was still so much land in the old mansion that they couldn't keep busy.
Moreover, there is always a voice in her heart that tells her that money is not as important as her body, and they are okay now, but they can't be tired and hurt their bodies.
Then she went to rent an ox and come back to plow the land, and renting an ox to plow the land was indeed fast, and it took a day and a half to get the rules in order.
The brother and sister have no idea what to plant, what they planted in the past and what they planted this year, but fortunately, in the previous two years, the two of them basically followed the Wang family together, otherwise they didn't know what to do.
Even so, the two acres of land at home made the two panic for a while.
It took several days for the two of them to plant the vegetable plot at home, and when everything was ready, the two went to the town with the money to buy piglets and came back.
There was not much silver left after buying the piglet's house, and the two began to find ways to make money again.
On this day, Xin'er looked at the remaining cabbage seedlings in the vegetable field and had an idea.
Speaking of the remaining cabbage seedlings in the two rows, it was because they didn't count them before, and they almost scattered half of the seeds left at home, and there were more than three ridges.
There are only so many vegetable plots at home, some of which are planted with potatoes and green beans or something, and the rest is not much, just two or three or three or four points of land.
Due to their miscalculations, there were a lot of vegetable seedlings left in the end, and the most were these cabbage seedlings.
These days, the two of them eat these cabbage seedlings almost every day, but they can only eat as much as the two of them, but if they want to feed the pigs, they are reluctant.
As a result, the two were also a little worried about these vegetable seedlings.
"Brother, why don't we sell those cabbage seedlings."
At dinner, my heart said to Youyi.
"Well, sell? Where to sell? Who doesn't have cabbage, will people buy it? ”
Not to mention anything else, as far as the people in the village are concerned, almost every household has planted it, and Youyi feels that she thinks too much.
"Yes, you see, we can't finish it anyway, and we are reluctant to feed the pigs, so even if it is cheaper, it is better than leaving it there.
When the time comes, we can always sell it when we take it to the town or the county seat, and the people in the county and the town don't all grow it, so I think it can still be sold if it's cheaper. ”
This idea was not thought up by Xin'er herself, it was told to her by the voice of the person in her heart, and she also thought about it for a long time, and felt that it should be feasible, so she proposed it to Youyi.
"In that case, why don't we try it?"
Youyi thought about it in his heart for a while, although he felt a little unreliable, but in the end it was also a source, so he said tentatively.
"Well, let's try it first, if we can't sell it, we'll carry it back, at most it's an extra trip."
"Okay, so when are we going to sell? Where to sell? Town or county seat? ”
Since he decided to give it a try, Youyi asked directly about the rest of the matter.
"I haven't thought about when to sell it, but I think it should be easier to sell it in the county seat, there are many people in the county, there are many rich people, and going to the county seat is about the same distance as going to the town."
"Well, then go to the county seat to sell, but this time must be set early, otherwise those vegetables will be eaten by insects after a while."
"Well, I'll think about it again, I want to go to Aunt Feng and ask them later, they should know a little more, maybe they can give us a little advice."
"Isn't that right?" Youyi was a little hesitant.
"It's okay, it's really not okay, I'll ask Feng Yu'an about the situation in the county, it's always okay, he has to go to the county every day, and there are many people in the county, so he can also help us inquire and tell us if the situation is not."
"Xin'er, I don't think it's good for us to be like this, we can't always trouble people Young Master Feng, it's already good for people to teach us literacy, we can't trouble people for everything."
"Brother, don't think about it so much, we can't just dive into it without knowing anything, so it's decided, I'll ask after these two bites, and you wash the dishes in a while."
"......, well, I know, you slow down, don't eat too much."
was silent for a while, and saw that Xin'er was anxiously pulling the food into her mouth, and Youyi was worried that she would choke and said on the side.
"yes, I know."
……
"Brother, I'll go and I'll be back soon."
"Alas, Xin'er, you wait, why don't you go to the field and pull some cabbage seedlings and send them to them?"
When the heart arrived at the courtyard, Youyi came out quickly with a rice bowl and said to her.
"Well, okay, I'll go talk a little bit."
After thinking that what her brother said was right, she went back and found a basket to go to the vegetable patch.
Xin'er pulled a bunch of vegetable seedlings out according to the good, picked the roots and bad vegetable leaves, put them in the basket, and carried them to Feng's house, and the picked leaves didn't care, just piled up on the edge of the vegetable field.
When she arrived at Feng's house, Feng's family was still eating, and they asked her to eat with her.
Of course, she refused, and waited outside.
waited until the Feng family finished eating, and then Xin'er said: "Uncle and aunt, this is some cabbage grown at home, I will bring some for you to eat before I finish planting, it is tender at this time, and you can cook under the soup." ”
"Why did you bring something again, really, didn't I tell you, it's good for you to come, you don't need to bring anything." Mrs. Feng sneered.
"Auntie, I also want to ask you for help here, how can I not bring something."
Xin'er also thought about it at this time when they were eating, so it was better to explain to them directly that they were coming, and don't go around in circles.
"Yo, where did the sun come out, you actually asked my mother for help."
Before the Feng couple could speak, Feng Yu'an said on the side.
Xin'er: "......"
Is this sarcastic or poking fun at her?
"What are you talking about, kid, will you be able to speak?"
Mrs. Feng gave Feng Yu'an a blank look.
Feng Yu'an pursed her lips and didn't speak again, but looked at Xin'er seriously, wanting to hear what she was for.
He was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't tell him in advance, he had already told her many times, and if he needed help, he would tell him, but she was good, and he came directly to his mother, which was too much.
Mrs. Feng glanced at Master Feng, and then asked, "Just say anything about it." ”
