Chapter Twenty-Six: The Talent of the Second Child
The next day, after Yi Mingxue fed the horses.
plunged headlong into her melon seedling cultivation base.
Last night, she had already stirred a pile of nutrient soil.
Not only did Dongdong's feces be added to it, but she also extravagantly dripped a drop of spiritual power into it.
Her original plan was to plant some cucumbers and beans, but she was pleasantly surprised to find it last night.
Among the seeds given to him by the villagers that day, there were actually a few watermelon seeds!
You know, watermelon is a rarity in winter.
Originally, she was worried that things like cucumbers and beans were too ordinary to sell at a high price.
It's really sleepy, someone sent a pillow.
If the sandy land in the back mountain is full of watermelons, the harvest must be very impressive.
However, if you want to grow watermelons this season, it takes a lot of effort.
First of all, there is the problem of heat preservation.
Yi Mingxue is a man of action, she found some bamboo strips and weaved them into a fine and dense fence wall.
Then the outside of the wall was covered with a thick layer of dry thatch.
Soon, a simple greenhouse was built.
Yi Baoer watched his eldest sister rub a pile of mud into chubby little round balls.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Big sister, what are you doing?" ”
Yi Mingxue endured the smell of horse manure in the nutrient soil and said, "Plant a big and sweet watermelon for Bao'er to eat, okay?" ”
Yi Baoer didn't know what watermelon was, but when she heard that there was something to eat, it was big and sweet, and she immediately clapped her hands with joy.
"Good! Boa likes to eat melons and melons. ”
As he spoke, he squatted beside Yi Mingxue, picked up a watermelon seed, and carefully pressed it into the mud ball.
While pressing, he also said, "Melon melon, remember to grow up quickly!" ”
Yi Mingxue couldn't help but want to laugh, and she didn't take his words seriously.
At noon, it is easy to cook lightly, and recently, the family does not worry about eating and drinking, and the ingredients have become richer.
Yi's cooking skills are also gradually revealed.
A pot of sweet potato rice, cooked until golden in color, keeps coming out of the hot sweet potato sweet aroma.
A stir-fried melon with a crisp taste and a fresh and tender taste.
The heat of the puff pastry is just right, and when it comes out of the pot, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the skin is bright yellow.
There are also a few home-cooked stir-fries, which are so hearty that they are a little unbelievable.
Yi Changle was helping her second sister light the fire in the stove room, and was now serving the meals one by one.
Yi Mingxue washed her hands and face, entered the inner room, and hugged Yi Yutang, who was shrunk in the corner, out.
As he walked, he said to him.
"The weather is good today, don't be bored in the house all the time, just bask in the sun in the yard in the afternoon."
Yi Yutang subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But Yi Mingxue's expression was firm, and she couldn't help but carry him to the table, and directly put him in a position where he could get the sun by the door.
Yi Lao Wu's lips squirmed twice, and the words that had reached his mouth were swallowed back.
The family was eating, and the voice of Aunt Li suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.
"This is it, this is Yi Mingxue's family. You said Yi Mingxue earlier, I didn't remember who it was, hahahaha. ”
Immediately afterwards, I heard her shout loudly, "Big girl, are you at home?" Big girl! Boss Mei in town has come to deliver you cotton. ”
Yi Mingxue hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked out of the door.
Sure enough, I saw Boss Mei of the garment store in the town standing outside the courtyard gate, followed by two porters carrying cotton.
Yi Mingxue hurriedly greeted her, and said in her mouth, "Boss Mei, why do you still run in person?" Just ask them to send it. ”
"It's okay, just along the way." Boss Mei said politely.
In fact, she originally wanted to come out and find some helpers for her shop; I heard that there was a person named Li Chunlan in their village who had good craftsmanship, so he sent cotton to Yi Mingxue by the way.
Yuan also counted on Yi Mingxue to help her introduce Li Chunlan.
But now it seems that Yi Mingxue's family is poor and white, and she is afraid that she will not be able to speak in the village.
So, she had to change her mind temporarily, and instead said to the warm-hearted Second Aunt Li, "I'm also bothering my aunt to help me run again, and call Li Chunlan from your village." ”
Li Chunlan and Second Aunt Li's family are distant relatives separated by a few rooms, although they usually don't have close contacts, but after all, they both live in the same village, so how can Aunt Li not agree.
After answering, he turned around and called for someone to go.
Yi Mingxue invited Boss Mei into the house and helped the two porters unload the cotton.
Taking the opportunity of unloading, Yi Mingxue checked the two loads of cotton.
The inner and outer layers are the same batch of goods.
It seems that this Boss Mei is a sincere person.
Yi Mingxue instructed Yi to gently pour tea for the three of them: "How many people have had lunch?" We've only been eating for a short time, so if you don't dislike it......"
In these years, it is not easy for all families, how can anyone be embarrassed to eat at other people's houses.
Boss Mei heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Sister is polite, I ate it when I came." ”
As for the two porters, they just nibbled on some dry food on the way, but since the employer refused, they naturally couldn't say anything.
Yi gently poured hot tea for the three of them, and Yi Mingxue soaked some of the dried red dates and dried ginger slices she bought in the town the day before.
After a bowl of hot tea, Boss Mei felt that his whole body was warm.
My impression of Yi Mingxue has also changed, "Sister, this ginger tea is good, and she is exquisite." ”
Yi Mingxue smiled and said a few polite words, then took off the apron on her body and sat down at the table with her.
Previously, because she had to work, she was afraid of soiling the new clothes that Yi gently made for her, so she put an apron on the outside.
As soon as she took it off like this now, she immediately made the sharp-eyed Boss Mei see her new clothes.
Boss Mei's expression was stunned, and then he showed a hint of surprise.
"Girl, this garment on you...... Did you do it yourself? ”
Yi Mingxue didn't know why, so she said truthfully, "Where do I have that ability, my second sister Yi did it gently." ”
Boss Mei immediately set his eyes on Yi Qing in the stove house.
"Gentle girl, where did you see this style, learned it?"
Yi shook his head gently, "No, I just thought about it myself." ”
Boss Mei was so excited that he almost stood up directly, held back the ecstasy in his heart, and turned his head to Yi Mingxuedao.
"Your second sister is amazing, even if such a color and style are placed in the county, they are all fashionable styles. In time, I'm afraid that she can be the big tailor of Yixiangfang. ”
Yi Mingxue was also quite surprised, she only felt that it was suitable and convenient for her to wear this dress, as for what style and matching, forgive her for not having any experience.
But listening to Boss Mei, does the second child in her family still have the talent to be a fashion designer?
At that time, Boss Mei didn't beat around the bush with her.
Immediately threw an olive branch to Yi and said:
"I don't know if you want to work in my ready-to-wear store, girl?"
At this moment, Second Aunt Li's voice sounded outside again.
"Boss Mei, Li Chunlan is here!"
