Chapter 115: Selling Vegetables
The delicate spring sun has jumped out from the place where the water and the sky meet, and the red glow overflows in all directions, blending with the morning mist slowly rising on the mountain, changing the halo of colorful colors.
Today is a rare sunny day, the sun is warm, it stretches out its warm hand, rubbing people all over the body. It's only been five days, and Yu Hang already feels that his injuries are almost better, only out of the broken ribs in his chest, and occasionally there is a burst of soreness.
From the window, he saw the busy figure of the little sister in the courtyard, he slowly sat up from the kang, carefully leaned against the wall, and slowly walked out of the door with his shoes.
Yu Xiaocao was in the vegetable garden in the courtyard, opening the grass used to keep warm in the vegetable field, revealing a bunch of green and fresh vegetable seedlings. In the seven or eight vegetable fields in the yard, all the green leafy vegetables with a relatively short growth period are planted, and the Lingshi water has a certain role in promoting plants, but in half a month, the greens, spinach and oily wheat vegetables have reached the picking period, and they appear green in the morning sun in spring.
"Brother, the injury is not healed yet, why did you come out?" Yu Xiaocao was the first to notice the movement in the door of the main house, wiped her hands hurriedly, walked over quickly, and helped her brother cross the threshold.
She found a place in the courtyard where the sun could shine, took a chaise longue that her father had made in his free time, and spread a thick mattress on it before letting her brother lie down.
Yu Hang watched the little sister move the chair for a while, and then enter the house to find a mattress, busy like a happy little bee, and couldn't help but have an apologetic smile on her face: "Little sister, you are busy with yours!" I'm a brother who can't help much, and I'm making trouble for you......"
"Brother! The most important thing for you now is to heal your injuries. When you're healed, you're afraid you won't be able to help? You see, the vegetables from our vegetable garden can already be sold. Business on the dock can't be delayed! You have to cooperate well to recuperate, so as not to fall into the root of the disease! ”
Yu Hang looked at the vibrant vegetables in the courtyard, and the boredom in his heart seemed to be dispelled a lot by this greenery. He smiled and sighed: "Little sister, your method is really good! At this time, other people's vegetable seeds have just landed, and our vegetables can already be stubble! If this is brought to the town, those old ladies will not know how rare it is! ”
In these years, there is no advanced technology such as greenhouse farming. The dignitaries and nobles in Beijing, in addition to the hot spring Zhuangzi, can also eat a fresh vegetable in winter, like Tanggu Town, there are no geothermal resources around, and it is really difficult to eat vegetables in winter and early spring!
Yu Xiaocao put a quilt on his leg and began to harvest vegetables. She carefully shoveled down the greens one by one, and asked Liu, who had cleaned up the kitchen, to help clean them with water, shake them dry and sleep, and then stack them neatly in the bamboo basket layer by layer. The little green cabbage with water droplets was so smart that the grass that had gnawed on the radish and cabbage for a winter couldn't help but swallow its saliva.
"Mother, when the evening comes, let's eat hot pot, shall we?" Buy a piece of pork bone stewed soup, and then buy a few pieces of tender tofu, with home-grown bean sprouts in the tank, a few large fish in the tank, and fresh green vegetables...... Oops, I can't think about it anymore, or my saliva will overflow!
"Hot pot?" Liu and the eldest son glanced at each other, knowing that the little girl had tossed a new trick to eat. However, the only green vegetables in their own house will definitely be sold at a good price, and the Liu family is a little reluctant.
Xiaocao saw her mother's thoughts and explained: "Mother, what are we going to do early and make money by making braised vegetables?" Isn't it just to live a good life? If you are reluctant to spend money just to earn money, isn't that in the eyes of money? ”
"You kid, who is talking about the money?" Liu glared at Xiaocao in disgust. However, her daughter's words made Liu's heart suddenly brighten. What my daughter said is right, isn't making money just so that the family can eat and dress well and get rid of the hard life? If they can't even give their home-grown vegetables to their children, what's the point of them trying to make money?
The mother and daughter chatted about homely things, but the work in their hands was not left behind. In a short time, several bamboo baskets were filled with vegetables.
At this time, Yu Hai walked from the backyard with a full fish basket, and he said with a smile: "Don't look at the pond in our backyard, there are a lot of fish!" I've been catching it for more than half a month, and there is no shortage of fish at all. Cao'er, what did you put in this bait, those big and small fish are crazy to rob, and they look like people! ”
"Put the fish down! You go to town with Cao'er, there are so many vegetables, how can she be busy alone? Fortunately, Xiaolian went to the dock in the morning, and she took the ox cart from the next village, otherwise it would be inconvenient for you two to go to the town! Liu helped load baskets of vegetables onto the donkey cart.
The donkey, who was named Little Gray, had already recovered his body, and he was raised by Lingshi Water to be oily and slippery, and he was very energetic, and he couldn't see the skinny and dying appearance half a month ago.
No one who has seen Yu Hai's donkey does not boast that it has aura. I didn't need anyone to drive the car at all, and I walked along the road very obediently, and when I encountered potholes, I knew to avoid the side. I don't know how much effort it saves!
Those who have a good relationship with Yu Hai know how the donkey looked half-dead when he first bought it. They all praised Yu Hai as a good hand at raising livestock, and he was able to raise sick and dying animals into the appearance of being fat and strong, isn't it the best proof?
Later, because of this, even some people's sheep, pigs, or other sick people pulled Yu Hai to take a look. Fortunately, there is Yu Xiaocao, a cheating artifact, and the diseases of those pigs and sheep are cured.
Woe! Since Dr. You came back, there hasn't been a single one who has asked Xiaocao to see a doctor! Although Dr. You has repeatedly claimed that Yu Xiaocao, a named little apprentice, is already blue, she is too young after all, and as the so-called "hairless mouth, ineffective work", the appearance of Dr. You with a gray beard is more convincing.
After saving a few livestock, Yu Xiaocao became a veterinarian alive, and her reputation spread far and wide, even Xiaocao's grandmother's family on the other side of the mountain had heard of her fame. Xiaocao is really speechless! However, the purpose of her medical study was just to cover up the cheating artifact of Lingshi Water in her hand. Believe it or not, she doesn't care, as long as she can benefit her family, it's enough!
"The sun winks at me, and the birds sing to me. I'm a hard-working, non-clingy leprechaun. Don't ask me where I'm from, don't ask me where I'm going, I'm going to pluck the most beautiful flowers and present them to my little princess. The king called me to patrol the mountains, and I will turn the world around......"
Yu Hai listened to the first few sentences with great interest: his daughter's singing voice is really good, she must have followed him! However, listening to it, Yu Hai felt that something was wrong. Why is a good girl and a goblin now? This kid is also fat, and he is not afraid of being taken away by the Heavenly Master!
"Girl! What goblins aren't goblins? You've heard too many stories about the monsters, right? Yu Hai couldn't help but interrupt Xiaocao when she sang the sentence "Catch a monk for dinner". The donkey cart has turned onto the main road, and the number of people on the road has gradually increased.
Yu Xiaocao faced the curious gaze next to her, smiled, and said, "Yes, Dad!" There are a lot of stories about the demons and monsters in Grandpa You's stomach! ”
A white-bearded old man riding a donkey upside down said with a smile: "The little girl's voice is brittle, it's weird!" The singing content is also interesting, it turns out that the little goblin can be so cute! ”
This white-bearded old man is white and fat, full of red light, even if he is wearing coarse cloth clothes, at first glance, he is a pampered master. There are also the "filial sons and grandsons" who led the donkey for him and carried their bags, the clothes on their bodies could not hide the bulging muscles, coupled with the vigilance of their eyes, they were definitely the guards and the like.
Yu Xiaocao pretended to be innocent, and said with a smile: "Old man, you are riding a donkey, are you learning from Zhang Guolao?" ”
"Yo! The little girl has also heard the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea! The white-bearded old man was obviously in a good mood, and after laughing, he said, "Come, tell grandpa, besides Zhang Guolao, whose story do you know?" ”
"I know a lot!" Yu Xiaocao shook the willow that had already sprouted green buds in his hand, and his little head was held high, revealing a triumphant posture, "Lu Dongbin, Tie Guan Li, He Xiangu...... I know all the stories! ”
Yu Xiaocao remembered the story of the Eight Immortals, which first originated in the Yuan Dynasty's miscellaneous drama "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea with the Jade Board", so he was not afraid of exposing his identity as a traverser.
She chatted with the white-bearded old man, the old and the young, all the way with great interest, and did not feel that the road to the town was too far. When he arrived at the gate of the town, the white-bearded grandfather who looked like an old naughty boy bit a small handkerchief and reluctantly said goodbye to the young grass who had forgotten the year.
Along the way, Yu Hai didn't talk much. When he was separated from a group of people pretending to be fathers and sons, he spoke: "Girl, the white-bearded old gentleman just now may have an extraordinary identity!" If you have the opportunity to encounter it again in the future, remember to be careful when you speak, and be careful not to get into trouble. ”
Yu Xiaocao obediently taught: "Dad! Don't worry, your daughter has her own measure! ”
Yu Hai recalled that along the way, his daughter's words and conversations were indeed much more attentive than usual, and his youngest daughter was more sensible and well-behaved than usual on weekdays, so he put his mind at ease.
While talking, the two came to the largest and most lively vegetable market in the city. The two of them chose an open space with a good flow of people, unloaded the donkey cart, and led the donkey to a special place to store livestock, where there was a special person to take care of it, and if you brought your own forage, you only need to spend a penny or two for the care.
Xiaocao's donkey has long been fed by her, no matter how good the forage is, there is no spirit stone water, it can't sweep it. Xiaocao took the prepared forage from the car, and of course the most important spirit stone water was missing from it.
There was a warm light in the little gray eye, and instead of rushing to eat the grass, it first rubbed the hand that the grass stretched out with its big head, and looked at her with soft and dependent eyes, and only after hearing her command did it eat with relish.
