Chapter 54: New Discoveries

The Yang family's house, built in a short time, Qian Chuanchuan and Yang Shanwa, who go to other people's houses to help on weekdays, are all stealing and playing tricks and can't slip out of strength, others will naturally be passive and slack off when they arrive at his house, plus the food given by the Yang family is not good, people are even more unmotivated to work, the house that was originally less than 20 days old, just built a small month.

Jiao Shi looked at the rice, flour, grain and oil, and brought it out from the gate one by one, only to feel that his eyes were black, and in the end, he wanted to delay.

"Sister-in-law, there's no face." Qian String skewered his face and asked Jiao Shi coldly.

"It's gone, what's the matter with me?"

"All the grain in my field has gone into your storehouse."

"You talk nonsense, I've given it to you."

"I haven't made it clear last year, don't be a fool, my twelve acres of land, a year's coarse grain and fine grain, four or five thousand catties, I can't eat it all while lying down, besides, there is a girl's field, if you don't give it to me, then I will start a family on your side next year."

If Qian Chuanchuan is really cheeky and brings a family to her side every day to visit relatives, how can she get it? Jiao Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trembling with anger, he knew that she would not plant this girl's field.

Helplessly, Jiao obediently took out the food.

The money skewers left, and Jiao's entered the old Jiao's house: "Mother, someone is instigating the next door to make trouble with us, how can the skewers suddenly settle accounts?" ”

Lao Jiao was squinting and half-leaning on the beauty couch to pretend to sleep, and raised his eyelids when he heard this: "Who do you think it is?" ”

"Second room."

Old Jiao thought for a while: "Wei and Xiancheng don't have this brain. ”

"Mother, don't forget Qian Wenjin, this little broken child, the person is not big, and the ghost is not small."

"Don't forget that she is also angry with the strings, and the couple next door will not listen to her."

"Who could that be?" Jiao stomped his feet in anger.

"Layue, the strings are close to you, you should give it back to her, otherwise, the house will be half shelved? You don't want the Yang family to come in, so you have to be willing to do it at this time. ”

"But—"

"Skewers are a fool, if you are close to her, she will listen to you, the more you are separated from her, the more we have to follow the rules."

"Oh!" Jiao Shi understood, "Mother, the more I do this, the easier it will be in the second room." ”

"Hmm!" Old Jiao's eyelids lifted, "Don't look at that little thing under your eyelids." ”

"Oh! Then I'm going to help with the skewers cooking. ”

"Go ahead!" Old Jiao's fat arm swung for a moment, turned over, changed to a comfortable position, and continued to lie down. Jiao's envy was for a while, when will she be able to become a mother-in-law, swallowed the bitterness, and turned her head to go out.

Qian Kuan saw that all the food and drink in the big house during this period of time were provided, and he was secretly grateful to Wen Han in his heart.

Wen Han and Wen Jin, when they saw that the money was strung back, they really stopped coming over to mess around, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Chuanchuan and Yang Shanwa are not reasonable people, the reason why they didn't come to make trouble, Wang Han's threat still played a role to some extent, it just so happened that Wang Dashan sent two hares, Wen Jin was braised and sent a big bowl to the Wang family.

Wang Han didn't know why, but he thought that the Qian family intended to be friendly with him, and specially gave him a bag of fresh bamboo shoots to return the gift.

From frost to frost, it didn't take long for Wei Chenglan to take the people of Weijiawan to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and finally carried all the walnuts out. The old men and women who stayed in Weijiawan had already made a lot of rattan gift boxes, and they put walnuts in them and handed them to Wang Jishan.

In just two years, Wang Jishan has been exposed to the most changes in business, before, he only knew how to put walnuts, chestnuts, etc., into a basket made of rough branches, transported into the provincial capital, a pound of mountain goods, not much money, in the summer Wei Chenglan came to him with a gift box, asked if he could sell the gift box of walnuts, he held the mentality of trying, sent the box to the provincial capital, I didn't expect it to be very welcome, and also gave the size of the gift box, the size of the walnut inside, two catties, now, Wei Chenglan gave him walnuts, They are all hand-picked, not only are they large and well-proportioned, but the skin also looks clean and beautiful, and they are packed into a white rattan box, which is comfortable to look at.

The gift box is more expensive than the unpackaged, and it is twice as expensive after entering the city, and the profit returned over there is of course more, Wang Jishan received the money and ran to Wen Jin's house happily.

"Xiao Xiucai, the province has written again, asking you if you can do a Songhua egg Wuwen? Those outsiders have been gone for months. ”

"Okay."

"Alas, alas, I have never seen such a stupid person carrying a large shipload of thousands of baskets of duck eggs. If they hadn't stirred it up, the price of our pine eggs wouldn't have fallen like this. ”

Wen Jin smiled and comforted Wang Jishan: "It's okay, the price is low, there are more people who eat, sell more, and make the same money." ”

"Oh, yes, it's still Xiaoxiu who is smart."

Fortunately, the weather was not too cold at this time, the ducks had not rested, Wen Jin stopped pickling salted duck eggs, and all the harvests were pickled and turned into eggs, her duck flock has more than doubled, and more than 100 duck eggs are collected every day.

The weather is cold and freezing, and it is the time when the mountain rat skin is the most dense and warm, but unfortunately now it is necessary to turn over the mountain beam. Wang Dashan and his cousins have to be busy every day. Sometimes, Wen Jin also followed, picking some dried mushrooms from the trees by the way, and the mountain rat skins he got back were ripe for his second aunt, so that she could make clothes for her family and Uncle Wei.

On this day, Dashan took everyone to the lower set of the mountain peak that he had not been to before.

Walk carefully through the thick ice on the valley stream and walk on the fine sand bank of the river at the foot of Erdaoliang Mountain.

"How do you get a stick? Look overhead. Mingshan reminded them that in front of them were a few vines, like grape trellises.

Wen Jin was happy in her heart, in this world, she has never seen grapes, with this thing, she can not only sell fresh fruits, but also make raisins and wine.

Wen Jin looked at the vines, hoping that there were still fruits left, although she knew that the grapes were introduced from the Western Regions and were not local specialties of the Central Plains, there was still a trace of luck in her heart, after all, the dynasty she wore was not recorded in history textbooks.

"It's gluttony again." Mingshan muttered, but helped to find it, Wen Jin was at the end of the vine, saw a walnut-sized fruit, which had dried up, Mingshan ran a few steps, and jumped to help pick it. In order to prevent slipping, everyone's feet are wrapped with straw ropes, and he is not afraid of falling.

"Oh, what kind of fruit is this? Inedible. Mingshan handed it to Wen Jin and arrived.

Dashan glanced at it: "You can eat it, it's hard when it's raw, but it's sour, and it's okay when it's cooked." However, once it softened, it quickly fell off. ”

Wen Jin didn't speak, her hands couldn't help trembling excitedly, she broke open the half-dried fruit, and saw that the green flesh was inlaid with black seeds like sesame seeds, and she was even more sure, this was kiwifruit.

She carefully pinched a piece of pulp and put it in her mouth, and the strange sweet and sour taste spread on the tip of her tongue, which was the taste.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"It's delicious."

Wen Jin replied as she continued to search. Dashan and Lin Shan, they all treat Wen Jin as a child, and when she likes this taste, they also help to check, on this river beach, there are seven or eight kiwi fruits, a total of fifteen dried fruits were found, Wen Jin let them taste the taste, but what they got was a kind and somewhat mocking laughter: "You eat, you eat, it's all for you." ”

"Humph! When I cultivate a kiwi forest and you all get rich, you won't laugh at me. Wen Jin's eyes looked at the sky, and they put on a proud look, and they laughed again.

Although it is not a grape, it can also be used for jam, dried fruit, winemaking and other industries. Although it is more difficult to make wine, its fresh fruit is better than grapes to transport and store, and this industrial chain can also be very large.

Think about it, in the northern cities where there are no big apples, begonia fruits and green fruits have the upper hand, citrus and other citrus fruits shipped from the south are extremely expensive and scarce, and the sudden appearance of sweet and sour kiwifruit with moderate price should be a thing that many people make gluttonous people happy.

For the rest of the day, Wen Jin was so excited that when he went home, he didn't even want the mountain mouse skin, so he had to give it to Mingshan. When she got home, Wen Jin put the dried kiwifruit in a rattan basket and hung it on the roof beam.

Although she can dig up kiwifruit roots to raise seedlings next year, she still wants to try seed seedlings and cuttings to raise seedlings. It's freezing cold, and this can't be done for the time being, but there are other things waiting for Wen Jin to get busy.

Wei Chenglan finally sold all the mountain goods in his hand, but he didn't expect that he just made a package, and the walnuts they picked were three to seventy percent more expensive than those sold by others. Wei Chenglan thought about it, plus rattan weaving and picking, and mixed with some wild vegetables, he should be able to survive next year's spring famine, which made him feel at ease.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the reeds he brought in to plant, almost all of them lived, thinking that next spring, this place will be green, and his Weijiawan is no longer Wang Xiaoer's New Year, a year is not as good as a year, he feels that his whole body is full of energy, and he finally has hope.

In winter, many people are idle, but every household in Weijiawan is busy weaving rattan baskets.

Wei Chenglan explained the matter well, and asked the two authoritative old men in the clan to lead the clansmen, drove the donkey cart by himself, pulled a large basket of eliminated walnuts, and came to Shanwo Village. It's been three months, he has only come to see twice, he is concerned about his wife and children, why don't they miss themselves?

Not to mention a family whose blood is thicker than water, even Wen Jin felt very cordial when she saw Wei Chenglan.

"Uncle, you help your uncle clean up his things, I'll make lunch, hahaha, today, let's have a good meal."

Ge Shi liked Wen Jin very much, and said with a smile: "How can you rub it, I think our family eats every day like the New Year." ”

"Hehe, aunt, you wait, good days are ahead." Wen Jin went to the pond to catch fish, killed a duck, cleaned it, and by the way, took a piece of tender tofu from Shi Xiaofeng and went home, then washed it with warm water, cut it into pieces, and marinated it with green onions, ginger, salt, and seasonings.
