Chapter 201: Help
Helping to carry the basket, a casual and polite word, Li Qiusui didn't take it seriously.
The pomegranate tree is in this area, and the two sides have parted ways from here.
……
These pomegranate trees are eight or nine years old, and they usually reach the peak fruit period in fourteen or fifteen years.
The basket on the back of the master and servant is filled with two or three trees up to the sky, and there is a simple version of the fruit-picking artifact, and the pomegranates that grow in the treetops are not troublesome to pick.
I didn't say which tree next to me had to be plucked, but I picked some of the red-skinned, yellow-skinned, and green-skinned trees.
The weight of a single pomegranate is not as heavy as the Ping An Fruit, and the two baskets are full, not to mention that Li Qiusui can carry it easily, even if the red tassel is not difficult to carry.
The master and servant casually found a clean place to sit down, shared a pomegranate, and Hongying took out a handkerchief to help Li Qiusui wipe his hands, and then he could go down the mountain.
Li Qiusui discussed Hongying, "If the stove is not busy today, let's find two more people to help and pick all these pomegranates home." ”
The big ones and the ones that look good are kept at home to eat or given away, and the smaller ones with ugly skin are all peeled off while the weather is good, and they can make wine and vinegar.
Hongying nodded, "Okay, wow, I'm going to be busy with food in the stove room today, I know that my wife is making snacks, I'm afraid I can't be busy, I'm ready early in the morning!" ”
The dim sum made by Liu's is a common local food, the kind that focuses on oil and sweetness, such as cannabis flowers, honey and so on. In an era when oil and sugar are particularly expensive and rare, the countryman's gift is the most tangible thing.
Li Qiusui's appetite was nourished by the red tassel, and she also ate the kind of dim sum made by the Liu family, but she preferred the more delicate dim sum of osmanthus cake and poria cake made of red tassel.
"Hongying, there are still dried osmanthus flowers at home! Shall we make some osmanthus cake to eat? Also, it's half August soon, how can there be no mooncakes? ”
When it comes to eating, Li Qiusui's eyes can glow.
Early in the morning, I was eaten a few bites of Shi Yang and Liu's greasy breakfast, and I was busy for a while, especially after eating half a pomegranate, I felt hungry with my chest and back!
Hongying took out two pieces of dim sum as if she were juggling, "Girl take a bite first!" We still have dried osmanthus, I'll soak it tonight, and I'll start making osmanthus moon ...... tomorrow."
"Yikes! Picked so many pomegranates? ”
Hongying's words were interrupted by someone who came, and when he heard the sound, he knew that it was the little guy who talked a lot on the mountain together.
Li Qiusui carefully wrapped the dim sum handed over by Hongying. She is no longer reliable, and she has no habit of eating in front of people who are not very familiar.
"Childe, it seems that we came just in time! If you hadn't reminded me, if you delayed for a while, maybe how long would people have to wait? ”
This is like Li Qiusui's master and servant waiting for them to come and carry the basket.
Hongying hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no! No, we didn't wait for you to carry it, we just did it ourselves. ”
As he spoke, he rushed forward to carry the basket.
"What's this? Your little girl's family is born with little strength, and we men should do the hard work. It's just that I went around the mountain, and it wasn't for the son's reminder, and I almost forgot about it. After waiting so long, don't get really angry? ”
The little servant glanced at the pomegranate peel that was casually thrown on the ground by the master and servant, and while talking, he led his companion to carry the two baskets on his back.
Hongying didn't rob anyone, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
Li Qiusui pulled the little girl over, "Let them help carry it." ”
Can't she also grab it, no, take out the whip and whip the person, and then snatch the basket?
Then I explained to them that we were either waiting for your help, or we had eaten a pomegranate, and we felt hungry and planned to eat a pastry.
I don't know much about it, and no matter how I explain it, I am suspected of getting darker and darker.
Come on, help carry it!
One of the two little guys carried a basket, and the boy didn't say a word from beginning to end.
This little boy is about the same age as Li Changan Zheng Ying, with a handsome face that has not taken off childishness and has not much expression.
Li Qiusui will not be more serious with anyone in such a trivial matter, how to think about love.
……
When a group of five people arrived at home, Li Qiusui gave them a few big pomegranates as he said, and said politely, "Thank you, if you can't stay at home for a light meal and leave?" ”
This is not specifically said to anyone, but just to the three masters and servants casually politely.
"No, Miss Li. Thank you Pomegranate! I still have something to do when I go back to the county today, so we'll go back. ”
After the greetings, the guest left the host Ann.
Li Qiusui watched the three masters and servants go out, and when they turned around, they returned to the stove room with Hongying, and selected the two large baskets of pomegranates that they picked back.
These are reluctant to make wine and vinegar, first wipe the skin one by one and dry it, leave it at home, and eat it for a long time.
"Years old are also in the stove room? Your father asked me to come over and see what to eat today, and there are guests at home to stay for dinner in the next day. I heard that you just came back from the orchard together, and the big pomegranate they took belongs to our family, right? How many did you pick? Will give me two later. ”
Li Sizhu was still helping out at home, and after the more than five hundred taels of silver were clarified, the old man still did not let the fourth child leave the third son's house. In his words, staying in the third child's house, the fourth child can still get a salary, and when he goes out, his heart is higher than the sky, and he may have a big disaster one day.
Li Sizhu was already weak-hearted, and he didn't dare not listen to the old man's words.
The rice harvest was about to be harvested, and the brothers were busy in the fields for the past two days. As soon as he entered the house, he met the little boy who often came to the house with Jiang Xianling, and the third brother politely said that he would stay at home for dinner, and the people took advantage of the situation to come down, and saw the rice ears they brought back, and said that they would go to the field to take a look at it next day.
Don't take people's young age seriously, the capital is full of big officials, just that momentum, now it's not an official, and when it's big, it's also a big official.
When it comes to a meal, go to the field and look at it, and you can't rob your own crops. Don't talk about stammering with others, you can't offend them plainly.
The corners of Li Qiusui's mouth twitched, and his feelings were still staying at home to eat.
handed Li Sizhu two big pomegranates, "The rice in the field will be able to be cut in two days, right?" If the fourth uncle is free, he will go halfway up the mountain to pick the pomegranate back. ”
Li Sizhu nodded, broke open a pomegranate casually, revealing the bright red pomegranate rice inside, and took a bite directly on his mouth, without even spitting out the seeds, and swallowed directly: "I don't know how your fruit trees are planted, not to mention the big knots, this is sweet, full of moisture, and it is too delicious." You can rest assured that picking pomegranates will be wrapped on your fourth uncle, and you will be able to get a home for the rest of the day. ”
