Chapter 11: Go up the hill to pick up mushrooms
"Mother, we're not going to play, we're going to pick up porcini mushrooms to dry the tablets, I know that there are people in big cities who specialize in collecting them, and when the time comes, we can make up for the tuition when we sell them."
Qin Min saw Xu Shaozhi's face and knew that she had misunderstood, she was not angry and explained to Xu Shaozhi with a smile, Xu Shaozhi was a little sad when she heard it, it was all because she was useless with the child's father, and she had to worry about the child's tuition, she nodded: "Xiaomin, are you really okay?" Why don't you go and tell Han Song to go another day. ”
Qin Min showed a big smile: "Mother, I don't have anything, don't you look at me?" ”
After Qin Min finished speaking, let Xu Shaozhi go out first, she was going to change her clothes, Xu Shaozhi didn't care about her, turned around and went out to do her own thing, she had to cook the rice early and feed the pigs and chickens, and it would be cooler to go to work before the sun came out.
Qin Min had washed Han Song and had not come to call herself, she couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, but thinking that Han Song was also tired for a day yesterday, she was afraid that she had overslept for a day, and at this time it was almost dawn, so she planned to call Han Song, Han Song's house was only a few minutes away from Qin's house, and when she opened the door, she found that there was a person standing at the door, which frightened Qin Min and screamed.
"Qin Min, don't be afraid, it's me."
Han Song felt a little guilty, he had actually come a long time ago, he didn't dare to call the door for fear of disturbing Qin Min, so he stood at the door and waited, but he didn't expect to scare Qin Min.
Qin Min patted his heart: "Han Song, why don't you call the door when you come, scare me a lot, I just dreamed that a thief entered my house, and I was just scared awake, and you came to scare me again." ”
There was coquettishness in her tone, Han Song apologized again and again, Qin Min found that Han Song's eyes were red, and couldn't help but quip: "Han Song, what did you do last night?" His eyes were red, like being a thief. ”
Han Song was stunned for a long time, Qin Min smiled, found two bamboo poles and handed one to Han Song, and she took one in her own hand: "Take it, wait for the dew and cobwebs or something, and then you can also use it to pull the leaves to see if there are any hidden fungi." ”
The two of them carried a basket and walked up the mountain, at this time most of the cooking smoke rose in the village, everyone was used to getting up early, each family had their own work to be busy with, and occasionally met two people who went out to work, Qin Min smiled and said hello, I heard that the two of them were going to pick up fungi, and no one thought it was strange.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the mountain, pulled the leaves, and a brilliant porcini mushroom was revealed, this porcini mushroom is not picked up by anyone now, they didn't take long to pick it up alone, and happily carried it home, Han Song directly carried it to Qin's house, Xu Shaozhi and Qin Bangguo saw that they were back and asked them to hurry up and eat, and go to work after eating.
Qin Min found the dustpan at home, first scraped off all the soil at the root of the porcini mushroom, and then cut the porcini mushroom into even slices and spread it in the dustpan to dry in the yard.
"Qin Min, can you really sell it for money then?"
Han Song still didn't believe that porcini mushrooms could be sold for money, Qin Min glared at him: "How many times have you told you, why don't you trust people so much?" ”
Han Song scratched his head: "Qin Min, I believe in you, I just couldn't help but ask again." ”
The sun was very big, and when they came back for lunch at noon, they found that the porcini mushrooms had been half dried in the sun, and in the afternoon Qin Min offered her to go home early to cook, and when the sun was about to set, she went home, and found a pocket to pack the dried porcini mushroom tablets, for fear of discoloration, she tied the bag tightly and put it upstairs to avoid getting wet.
She just went to cut the pigweed and cook pig food at home, now this feeding method is too backward, she wants to tell her mother, in fact, you can feed raw with a little batch, piglets will grow faster, as long as the pork that has not been fed feed is delicious. When cooking pig food, she began to prepare the dishes that need to be used, first wash the vegetables, then mix the chicken food to feed the chickens, and drive the chickens back to the pen.
Qin Min fished out a section of oil jar meat from the oil jar for a long time, put it under the steamer and boiled it, and when the rice was steamed, the oil jar meat was also cooked, put the green vegetables into the oil soup, and it was cooled down, and the people working in the countryside had a strong taste, so she took the millet spicy chop and dipped it in water, fried a leek, and saw that they had not come back, so she picked up a broom and swept the yard clean.
"Qin Min! Are you at home? ”
A crisp voice sounded outside the door, Qin Min heard it, this was Wang Ying, she agreed and went out to open the door: "Wang Ying, you are here, come in and sit." ”
Wang Ying was wearing a lilac floral dress, and a strong smell of alabaster came to her face, Qin Min couldn't help but feel nauseous and wanted to vomit, was this a whole bottle of alabaster on her face?
"Qin Min, do you think my newly bought dress looks good?"
Wang Ying turned around in place for Qin Min to see, Qin Min nodded: "Good-looking, Wang Ying, you are really beautiful in this dress, did you buy it in the city?" ”
Wang Ying was very proud: "Yes, I went to the city today, Qin Min, let me tell you, the things in the city are beautiful!" But it's very expensive! ”
She tugged at her skirt as she spoke: "Guess how much my dress costs?" ”
It seems that this skirt is very expensive, Qin Min shook his head: "Wang Ying, you know, I haven't even been to the county seat a few times, where can I guess it, you tell me, how much is it." ”
Wang Ying stretched out five fingers and put them together: "So many!" ”
Fifty? This is too expensive, Qin Min doesn't remember the price at this time, what she remembers very clearly is that when she was in her third year of high school, the government auctioned off five wasteland and river beach land, and one mu was only thirty yuan.
"Oh my God, that's too expensive! I can't afford it. ”
Facing Qin Min's surprise, Wang Ying was very satisfied, she took Qin Min's hand and lowered her voice and said, "Qin Min, I really don't know what you're thinking in your heart, why do you think about getting engaged to Han Song?" If you have no talent or money, if you really want to find someone for you to study, isn't it easy? I'll tell you, my cousin in the county town has seen you once, or you can meet me another day. ”
What is this? Qin Min smiled a little bitterly, this Wang Ying dared to be a matchmaker for herself, and she didn't know why she, a little girl who had just graduated, was keen on being a matchmaker, this shouldn't be something that only middle-aged women like to do.
