Chapter 087: Talent!
Every now and then, a woman with a child on her back and half lying on the ground choosing a bean seed will be jerked by an alcoholic man. 1357924?6810ggggggggggd had a hole in his head, and his face was covered in blood and he was working on his stomach.
On one side, there was also an old woman who scolded from time to time.
"Lost star, lost money. This lazy woman is an unlucky person. If it weren't for her, our family wouldn't have beaten her to death to find a new daughter-in-law......"
The mother-in-law said and scolded, and a scoop of dirty water was spilled over.
On one side, there were two little girls huddled there, helping the woman to pick up bean seeds.
"Ahem, excuse me, I'm looking for a girl."
"Oh, you're losing money, you're being looked for." The fierce mother-in-law roared, turned around, and when she saw that it was Li Hongmei, her eyes lit up, "Yo, isn't this the Zhao family, hurry up and sit in the house, which wind blew you here, and it actually came to my house." ”
was still shouting and scolding people in front of her, but now she immediately became a kind grandmother, Li Hongmei had to sigh, whether it is in the village or in the city, the ability of people to act is really the same.
Needless to say, the reason why she was warmly welcomed is also related to the recent Zhao family's new house and mountain land purchase.
"Well, auntie, I'm just looking for Man'er Niu to exchange some seeds. Well, this is the money I want to buy seeds. ”
Li Hongmei hurriedly took out twenty copper coins, and when the woman saw it, her face bloomed with a smile. A handful of copper coins were grabbed. "Come on, come on, a handful of seeds, which is worth it when you run here in person, and it costs money."
But having said that, he carried the money straight into his arms. Then he turned around and yelled at the numb manniu, "Let you hold a handful of seeds." ”
Man'er Niu's hands trembled and she held a handful of seeds to come over. But she was screamed by her mother-in-law, "You woman, you can't do any work at all, let you praise you like this." ”
She scolded, stretched out her hand, grabbed a small handful from Man'er Niang's hand, and then stuffed it into Li Hongmei's hand. "The Zhao family, I took your money, I'm sorry, you can take this kind of thing back and use it."
Li Hongmei stared blankly at the twenty or so soybean seeds in her hand, and thousands of grass and mud horses were shouting in her heart.
Your sister's, about 20 copper coins, just 20 soybean seeds.
A copper coin and a soybean are the most expensive beans in ancient and modern times.
The full mother stood there ashamedly, and did not dare to raise her head. It's this woman, a smiling person. "Zhao family, my daughter-in-law knows how to plant, and we are embarrassed to receive your money. In this way, I'll let Man'er Niang accompany you to plant soybeans, okay? ”
Well, this woman is a calculating.
Knowing that her ugly face was because her bean seeds were too expensive, she deliberately asked her daughter-in-law to accompany her to plant at this time. In disguise, it is to show that my high price is justified.
Li Hongmei wanted to say, you don't have to teach me, but look at the blood on this woman's face, nodded, "It's okay." ”
The other two little girls, when they saw that their mother was going out, also dragged their noses out together.
After walking away, Li Hongmei turned sideways and looked at Man'er Niang, a woman with a face full of mulberry and a pair of eyes that were also numb. When Li Hongmei looked at her, her bare feet curled up uneasily.
"Zhao ......"
Speaking, it's not too clear. Obviously, they don't talk much to outsiders.
"Don't be afraid, I just think, if you carry the child like this, will you be too tight, do you live like this, and gasp for breath?"
The woman was holding the child, like the kidnapper, and was obviously afraid that the child would fall to the ground. However, in this way, can the child and her be connected?
"Wheezing...... Gasping for ......"
There was a hint of gratitude in the woman's eyes, and she said in a hurry, and quickly lowered her head.
Seeing her like this, Li Hongmei sighed softly, it seems that this is a woman who is used to being obedient.
When she came to the house, she took up her hoe, dug up a piece of the ground, and took out the bean nest.
"Ash, plant ash in it, and then put the beans in it, so that the beans grown will grow well."
Looking at the nest covered with beans, Man'er Niang had a smile on her face. It seems that these are her children.
Such a woman made Li Hongmei a little surprised, this woman is not soulless. Look at the look of people planting beans, this whole thing is fresh.
"You brought these beans out?"
"Well, I brought it out from my hometown, and I have it on me since I came. When I arrived at Luo's house, I planted it, and now I have a lot of beans. ”
When it comes to beans, Man'er Niang also has a lot of words. Such an eccentric person made Li Hongmei particularly surprised.
Na Man'er Niang looked at the vegetables in Li Hongmei's field, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
She walked up to the wolfberry that had been carefully protected by Li Hongmei.
"This, good thing...... Delicious, sweet ......"
"Have you eaten?" Li Hongmei was pleasantly surprised.
I didn't expect anyone here to know wolfberry. Does it mean that this person knows how to plant?
Before Li Hongmei could ask, Man'er Niang moved the wolfberry to the side.
"You can't plant like that. This is how it ......."
Saying that, Man'er Niang built a tic-tac-toe shape around the wolfberry, and finally, let the wolfberry grow there, and there were no miscellaneous vegetables around.
"That's how it grows better."
After finishing it, Man'er Niang glanced at Li Hongmei's wild vegetable garden again. looked at it, and then looked at another one that Li Hongmei couldn't recognize, and it looked very good-looking.
"This, when cooking, you need to pass a piece of water, or you won't eat it well."
Well, this woman seems to be very good at planting.
Li Hongmei asked tentatively again, "Then, do you know how your grains can be planted to grow better?" ”
"Grain? Pick seeds, raise seedlings, cold can't, weigh seeds. ”
Although it was just some simple words, Li Hongmei still understood.
This is to say that in order to grow grains well, it is very important to pick seeds, and it is even more important to raise seedlings and keep warm at temperature. When it grows to a certain extent, it needs to be transplanted quickly.
Unexpectedly, this Man'er Niang is actually a master of planting.
If this man were to be brought in to manage the planting of his family's wasteland, would it make the crops grow better?
With this thought, Li Hongmei can no longer resist it.
You must know that this small farmer's family, of course, means that the crops in the field must be planted well in order to get out.
But now, her family's land is available, but planting, Zhao Dashan and Zhao's mother are not good.
As for Liu Baocai's family, don't even bother with it, that is, the family eats and drinks together.
Because of this, Li Hongmei has always wanted to find a master who can plant.
"Man'er Niang, do you like planting?"
It seems that the Man'er family has only grown a few beans. Next to it, it is Man'er's father and his grandfather who do tofu business together.
The grandfather and son got up early and were greedy for darkness, and all the money they earned was exchanged for wine and became their cups.
"I like it."
"Then your Luo family, why don't you let you plant it?" Li Hongmei followed up and asked.
"They say that farming doesn't make money, tofu, money."
This is also true. You know, not many people can make tofu here.
The father and son of the Naluo family went outside to survive earlier, and only then did they learn to order tofu and come back. In the end, after Man'er Niang would grow soybeans, their family naturally started a tofu business.
Ordinary people can't afford to eat this tofu, but many people in the city can still eat it.
Speaking of which, this family's tofu business is really doing well.
Aside from the cost of soybeans coming out of some fields, you can make a lot of money all year round. After all, this is exclusivity.
"You only grow your soybeans for your family's tofu business!"
Man'er Niang nodded, and began to look at the wild vegetable garden in the field again. In her eyes, it seemed as if these were the only things that could attract attention.
"Well, the child's father dislikes that I don't grow enough beans, and I can't supply tofu."
"There are soybeans in the village, why don't you go outside to collect them?"
"No money." The woman replied crisply. Li Hongmei was puzzled by what she heard.
When it came to Man'er, this girl was about the same size as San'er, and explained in a small voice.
"My father gave other people's beans on credit, and he didn't give money for two years, and they didn't give credit anymore."
Well, the feeling is that I met Laizi, and no one will give such a thing again.
"If I pay you to come to my house to farm, I don't know if you want to?" Li Hongmei is a person who does it when she thinks of it, and decided to hire Man'er Niang to work on the spot.
Man'erniang's eyes lit up, but in an instant, they dimmed.
"I'm afraid it's not easy, and my family won't let me."
"This ......"
"Why don't I talk to your mother-in-law?"
Such a good talent, if it is broken and ruined like this, it is really a pity.
"Row ......"
Turning around, Li Hongmei discussed this matter with Zhao Dashan.
"Recruit Man's mother, it's not impossible. I'm afraid that Luo Qiu's family will have a lot of trouble when the time comes. ”
Li Hongmei raised her eyebrows, "It's not simple, let's fix the contract to death." The terms have to be sorted out, otherwise, this matter is told to you, what can I do when the time comes! ”
Of course, good people can't be spared.
Although the best of this family is a little difficult, but the talent should be kept.
"Then let's discuss writing this contract."
waited until the two of them had finished writing the matter, and Li Hongmei asked how the work of this trip was.
"Tomorrow, Brother Liu will bring the person who is building a house to see our new house. They couldn't understand the drawings, so they said that they could look at the house from a distance. I estimate that as long as I look at our house, ** will not be far from ten. ”
Seeing that he was happy, his upright face was full of joyful smiles, and Li Hongmei was also happy for him.
"It seems that the man in my family is a capable person, so he went out for one or two years, and took all the work. Not bad, not bad, continue to play to your strengths. ”
was praised again, Zhao Dashan was so happy.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm coming back to see our family's big **, okay!"
These words made Li Hongmei immediately dumb. Avoiding the burning eyes of this thing, Li Hongmei stretched out her feet, "Wash your feet." ”
"Yes, lady."
I didn't wait for the lady to wash my feet for three days, it's really strange and nostalgic.
Looking at this big man who washed his feet upside down, Li Hongmei also quietly covered her mouth and smiled.
The two of them were making a fuss, and Mother Zhao came in.
"Dashan, you sewed a gown, and you wore it when you worked outside."
Mother Zhao's eyes stayed on Zhao Dashan, who was squatting to wash Li Hongmei's feet, smiling, slowly frozen.
Li Hongmei was shocked in her heart: It's bad, in modern times, when a mother sees her son washing her daughter-in-law's feet, she has to be scolded to death, and she is not comfortable.
Now, she is being waited on by Zhao Dashan like this, which is even more miserable......
