Chapter Seventy-Four: Pineapple
Bu Linglong, who originally planned to go to the kitchen, heard the content of the conversation in the kitchen, so he gave up the decision to go into the kitchen, turned around and took the farm tools and went to the backyard.
Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Yu didn't know that the conversation between them had been listened to by a third person, and the original surprise had been exposed, but the old lady didn't know.
There is a batch of round melons in the backyard that have not been produced, she pulled all the vines, and after loosening the soil, she was ready to plant the strawberries, so that the strawberries from the space also had a provenance, although for the time being, they could only eat secretly, but it would not be long before everyone could enjoy the delicious strawberries to people.
Don't look at this small piece of land, it takes a lot of time to get busy, and she spends the morning pounced on clearing the vines.
"Milk, milk, mother?" Erbao and Sanbao came back from playing around outside, and began to look for Bu Linglong, but they didn't see anyone after looking around the house, but they found their grandmother in the kitchen and immediately asked loudly.
Mrs. Lin was a little stunned, she had been in the kitchen all morning, and she hadn't seen anyone, hadn't she gotten up yet?
As soon as Sanbao saw her grandmother's expression, she knew that she didn't know where her mother was.
"Milk, haven't you seen your mother either?"
Mrs. Lin smiled awkwardly: "Grandma didn't pay attention, you go and see if it's still in the house?" ”
"I've seen it, but there's no one in the room."
"There's just such a place at home, where else can I go? Is the carriage there? ”
"The carriage is there, too."
"Have you been to the backyard?" This is the only place that Mrs. Lin can think of, and I don't know why she fell in love with farming.
"Erbao, let's go, go to the backyard, my mother must be in the backyard." Sanbao grabbed Erbao's hand and ran straight towards the backyard.
Crossing the threshold, I saw a slender figure working hard in the sun, "Mother." ”
The two little guys rushed to Bu Linglong, and Sanbao took out a handkerchief from his sleeve very sensibly, and pulled Bu Linglong's sleeve, "Mother, you squat down." ”
"Why are you here, it's too hot, go back to the house and stay." Bu Linglong put down the farm tools in her hand, squatted down according to Sanbao's words, and kept a level with him.
After the three treasures were within reach, he immediately wiped the fine and dense sweat that came out of his forehead for Bu Linglong, "Mother has worked hard." ”
"The mouth is so sweet, it's hard to steal the candy." Bu Linglong pinched the bridge of Sanbao's small nose and said with a smile.
"No, I'm not a second treasure." Sambo wrinkled his nose.
"Mother, what are you going to plant?" Erbao also came up at this time, staring at the half-reclaimed land and asked.
"Another kind of fruit, my mother met a foreign person in the county this time, he was selling their seeds, and my mother bought the seeds back and tried to grow them, maybe they will be planted by me like round melons."
"Really? What kind of fruit is it this time? Erbao and Sanbao looked at Bu Linglong with wide eyes, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Strawberries, tomatoes, pomegranates." The last two are added by her, tomatoes are also a good thing, you can use them as fruits, you can also use them as vegetables, you can eat them any way you want, tomato scrambled eggs are a dish that men, women and children like very much.
"Strawberries? Tomato? Pomegranate? Are they all fruits? Sanbao looked at Bu Linglong with a pair of studious eyes unblinking, wanting to know the result.
"Strawberries and pomegranates are both fruits, and tomatoes are more special, which can be regarded as vegetables or fruits."
"And something like that? What does it look like? After listening to his mother's words, Sanbao's curiosity became even heavier, how could there be such a magical existence, and exotic things were too special, why didn't we have such special things here.
"It's round, it's red, the flesh is a little vegetarian, a little sour and a little sweet, and when your mother grows it, you can feel the taste of it yourself."
Sanbao and his mother were talking energetically, when they heard a slippery sound, and the two of them looked at Erbao beside them at the same time.
Seeing the residual saliva at the corner of Erbao's mouth, Sanbao frowned in disgust and said, "Erbao, you are too exaggerated, why are you still drooling." ”
Erbao didn't feel embarrassed at all, wiped off the water stains at the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a grin: "Hehe, who made my mother say it was so delicious, I'm hungry." ”
"You're disgusting." San Bao couldn't help but complain.
"Sanbao, how can you say that, what's wrong with me wanting to eat." Erbao was anxious with Sanbao all of a sudden, he likes to eat without any hobbies, how can he say that it is disgusting, and he can only blame his mother for saying it too well, making him drool gluttonously just thinking about it, and he didn't mean to.
"Hmph, dirty."
"You're dirty."
"You're dirty, you're drooling."
"You~~"
"Why, I'm still here." Bu Linglong separated the two little guys who were about to fight with a straight face, and suppressed one of them.
The two little guys looked up at their mother, and when they saw that her face darkened suddenly, they immediately lowered their heads and whispered, "Mother, we were wrong." ”
"I didn't say anything to you, why keep your head down." She didn't even say anything about them, but they looked like they had made mistakes and were waiting to be trained.
"Mother, I shouldn't have said Erbao." Sanbao pouted and whispered, "Erbao, I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”
"Three Treasures, I'm also at fault."
"Let's go, my mother will take you to the town to play." Seeing that the brothers took the initiative to shake hands and make peace, Bu Linglong was involved and took their little hands back to the front yard.
"Mother, can I bring Brother Lu and Brother Wang?" With Lu Fang and Wang Yuan, the two little guys rarely go to the village to play, and Zhuzhu and Huzi, who used to play well with them, have to help the family work, and they have less time to play.
"Yes, they are the two of you scholars, you can take them wherever you go, but you also have to know how to deal with them, and this is up to you to feel." Bu Linglong does not take the initiative to participate, but will check on the side, if there is a phenomenon of bullying, then sorry, her family temple can't accommodate this big Buddha.
"Well, we know." The mother told them a lot, and the eldest brother also told them something, although they didn't understand it very well, but they knew that Brother Wang and Brother Lu were the subordinates of the family, they were the masters, and they could be close to them, but not too close.
"Linglong, why don't you eat breakfast when you get up? Bad for the stomach. When Mrs. Lin saw Bu Linglong, she began to count her down.
"I ate, there was still some dim sum in the room, and I ate dim sum." The old lady wanted to surprise herself, so how could she puncture it now.
She is not very interested in moon cakes, so she really can't do them, after the end of the world, many things have long disappeared, although she doesn't like to eat moon cakes, but in the last days, as long as it is eaten, she will accept it, and there are still some moon cakes in the space.
These moon cakes can be used to distribute to long-term workers, everyone's performance is very good, and then she needs to prepare a little bonus, she needs to exchange some change back, otherwise it is not enough.
"Mother, I'm going to town, do you want to go out with us."
"I'm not going, you can go." Mrs. Yu and her sisters have already gone out just now, and they have bought all the things they need, and she can just take this opportunity to make moon cakes, and she can give Linglong a big surprise on that day.
"Really?" Bu Linglong asked again without giving up.
"Don't go. Just go for it. Mrs. Lin shook her head and refused.
"What do you need me to bring, I'll bring it back with me?"
"No, no, Mrs. Yu and they went out on a trip just now, and they all bought it, you go to yours." Mrs. Lin just wants to get rid of people quickly, and if she continues to grind, the time will be in a hurry.
"Alright, let's go." The old lady couldn't wait to catch them up, probably just to make moon cakes, okay, she would meet the old lady's request.
When he arrived in the town, Bu Linglong took the two treasures and three treasures and Wang Yuan Lu Fang to Yuelai Lou to eat first, after eating, he went to the bookstore first, there was not much paper at home, and he had to buy some to prepare, although the two treasures and three treasures had not yet begun to study with the master, but they had already followed Dabao to practice calligraphy, and the paper at home was consumed very quickly.
By the way, go to the bookstore to see if there are any better books and prepare some for Dabao.
She regretted it a little, why did she only care about hoarding food in the last days, she didn't collect any books, otherwise those books could be taken out for Dabao to see, combined with the current books, Dabao's knowledge will only be more profound.
If time could be turned back, if she had known that there was today, she would definitely have collected all those books, but unfortunately she didn't know earlier!
After exchanging some copper plates and oiled paper, Bu Linglong took the children to go shopping.
"It's your pocket money, you can buy whatever you want." Bu Linglong gave one or two pieces of silver and let them decide what to buy, she didn't participate, she wanted to see what the two little guys would be interested in.
"Can we make our own decisions?" After Erbao listened to his mother's words, his eyes became very bright.
"Yes, you call your own shots. Spend it casually. Bu Linglong nodded affirmatively.
"Thank you, mother." Erbao held a tael of silver in his hand, and his eyes were spinning.
Sanbao was not as excited as Erbao, but put away a tael of silver.
"Come on, come on, come and have a look." A loud shout sounded behind them, Erbao quickly turned around, looked towards the source of the sound, and saw several yellow things on the stall, pointed and asked, "Mother, what is that?" ”
Step exquisite
Looking in the direction of Erbao's finger, her eyes lit up, and she saw something, it was a pineapple, yes, yes.
Bu Linglong excitedly took the hands of Er Bao and San Bao, and walked towards the stall quickly.
"What are you selling? Why does it look so strange? There were already a few people gathered in front of the booth, and everyone had never seen them, and they were gossiping and asking.
"This is a pineapple I bought from an exotic merchant, thirty wen a piece." The young man said with a smile.
"How can there be thorns on it, how can they be eaten? What does it taste like? "Strange species, no one has ever eaten them, no one dares to come forward to buy them, and no one wants to spend money in vain.
"None of us have seen it, and we don't know what it tastes like. Why don't you give me a taste? ”
"Yes, yes."
"Ladies and aunts, it's not that I don't want to give you a taste, but I'm just a few, eat one and one less, if you taste it and don't buy it, won't I lose a lot." He bought and sold on a small budget, and it was impossible to eat.
"How do you do business, young man? How can we buy it if we don't eat it? An old lady snorted and said dissatisfiedly.
