Chapter Seventy-Nine: Digging Potatoes in the Field
Qin Xiaoniang lifted the curtain, and a cool breeze blew in, freezing her and shivering.
"It's just autumn, how can it be so cold?"
"Xizhou is not better than the Central Plains, they don't have hot weather, it's cold in autumn, plus, there are still snow-capped mountains in front, there will definitely be a cold wind, it's not that I said you, you wear less, not to buy new clothes, you hurry up and put them on, then it's not cold?"
After that, Li Qiang's daughter-in-law took out Qin Xiaoniang's set of clothes from the package.
But Qin Xiaoniang felt that she hadn't reached the bitter cold place yet, and now she was a little big and useless, if she accidentally broke it when she was burning the fire, wouldn't she even have a cold clothes when she arrived in the snow mountain......
Thinking like this, Qin Xiaoniang rejected Li Qiang's daughter-in-law's kindness.
The carriage traveled for a while, and finally entered a small village.
There is not much rain in Xizhou, and the fields are watered by well water, so rice is generally not grown here, only some more durable vegetables are grown.
Zhang Xiu'e parked the carriage on the path and motioned for everyone to get off the carriage and go to the fields to have a look.
"There is a lot of land in this village, there should be a lot of farmers, right?"
Li Qiang's daughter-in-law jumped out of the carriage excitedly, looked around, and replied with a smile: "That's right!" We can buy quilts! ”
Song He'er saw her excited, and couldn't help laughing, "Tian Niangzi, don't be too happy, what if the person in this village is an old stubborn man and refuses to sell us the quilt?" ”
"It's impossible, why are there still people who don't make money by putting money? How much money do they earn a year, and we will give more silver, that is. ”
Qin Xiaoniang interrupted her, "Give us more silver, how much silver can we have?" ”
"What are you afraid of? This carriage is all prostituted for nothing, it's a big deal, let Mrs. Zhang run again, anyway, she has such a ability! ”
When Zhang Xiu'e heard this, this Li Qiang's daughter-in-law was making fun of herself again, so she came over angrily and slapped her on the back, "You dead mother-in-law, I am so for you, but you are greedy for me!" ”
Li Qiang's daughter-in-law laughed twice, and immediately pasted it, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, let's go into the field and ask and see what vegetables they have planted." ”
The big guys also knew that it was a joke, so they didn't pay much attention to it, packed up the valuable things and took them with them, and then went into the field.
It was noon, and many of the people who were working in the fields went home to eat, and only three or two people sat in the simple hut they had built, nibbling on turnips and chatting about their daily routines.
Song He'er didn't wait for Zhang Xiu'e to speak this time, so she asked first: "Uncle, do you sell these things in the field?" ”
The farmer looked Song He'er up and down, and when he saw that it was a young girl, he didn't embarrass himself, but shouted at the adults behind him, "You are from other places?" What are you doing here? ”
Qin Xiaoniang stepped forward and calmly replied, "We are looking for relatives, and there is no food to cook on the way, so I want to buy some nearby." ”
The farmer thought for a long time, and then continued to ask: "This is the snow-capped mountain to the south, and you want to go to the snow-capped mountain to find your relatives?" ”
Qin Xiaoniang was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Song He'er saw that she was embarrassed, and hurriedly replied first: "It's not Snow Mountain, it's Snow Mountain, the west side of Snow Mountain, where the border is." ”
When the farmer heard this, he believed it, so he nodded and pointed to a field not far away, "I only have potatoes, turnips, and cabbage here!" But don't underestimate my cabbage, even if you go to the snowy mountains, it won't be frozen, and you can still eat it! ”
Song He'er couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, didn't this farmer brag about not making drafts? Where is the cabbage not afraid of freezing?
Even in the wax moon of the 90s, when eating Chinese cabbage every day, people still had to wrap the roots in quilts! How come it is that when you get to him, you won't freeze even if you go to the snowy mountain?
It's just an exaggeration!
Zhang Xiu'e followed the farmer's gaze, and after a long time, she politely replied: "Okay, let's do all of this!" ”
"How much do you want, how many catties do you want, you have to give me a specific number, our vegetables here are all freshly picked, if I pick them off and you don't want it, it won't be a loss."
Song He'er hesitated for a moment, a thought flashed in her mind, she stepped forward and looked at the farmer with a smile, "Then why don't you give us shovels, we will go to the field to dig potatoes ourselves, how much you dig, you weigh it yourself!" As many as you have! ”
When the farmer heard this, it was an idea, but he didn't own the land, and he had to go back and discuss it with a few other people.
"Then you wait here, I'll call someone to come, and I'll bring you a frame, sit down, there's a carrot here, you can eat a piece and taste it!"
This farmer is not stingy, he is willing to give up his few turnips, Song He'er looked at his figure and walked towards the thatched hut not far away.
Song He'er wanted to take advantage of this leisure time to go to someone else's house to buy a few quilts.
Instead of buying a few quilts, it is better to go to the space and take out a few quilts used by the general's subordinates, so as to buy them from the farmer's house.
Thinking like this, Song He'er said to Qin Xiaoniang: "A-Niang, I see that there is a family in front of me, you are waiting here, I will go buy us a few quilts." ”
"You're such a small person, how many quilts are you going to get? Haven't you crushed your little body? Tell your third aunt to go with you! ”
"No!"
Such a decisive refusal immediately startled the people next to him.
"How...... What's wrong? ”
"You're going to have to dig potatoes and pick vegetables later, and then you're going to leave someone to watch the children, how can you walk away? I'd better go on my own! ”
"You kid...... Well, then there you go! Remember, if they won't sell it to you, don't quarrel with them, just come back yourself. ”
Song He'er had already memorized Qin Xiaoniang's words by heart, so now she just listened to it hastily, and then left here happily.
Song He'er first found a place to carry people, and quietly took out six quilts that people usually cover from the space.
Song He'er carefully moved them to the carriage and put them away, and then stopped for a moment to kill time.
It wasn't until Zhang Xiu'e and the others went down to the ground with a shovel that Song He'er walked happily towards them......
