Song Hongguo finally bought three chickens and two geese, all of which were able to lay eggs, and they were packed in a basket covered with grass, which made people happy to look at them.

At this time, the two people who were busy selling cloth were idle, and the cloth they brought was still too little, and they were unwilling to grab it, and they muttered and complained in their mouths, the people of the Xiangyang Brigade had long been used to it, and they didn't care, a man who looked about forty years old took the initiative to greet Song Hongguo, and his attitude was very polite, "Comrade, what else do you need?" ”

The half-grown boy called out to the man "Daddy", and there was a hint of invitation in his tone.

The man patted his thin shoulder, looking at the calm and reserved person, but at the moment there was an encouraging smile in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Song Hongguo suddenly felt a little envious in her heart, she had no parents and couldn't experience this feeling, but she knew how lonely and lost she was when there was no one to tell and share her achievements.

She suppressed her floating emotions, pointed to the chair she had seen in the morning and asked, "What is that made up of, and how much is it?" ”

Hearing this, the other party's attitude was better, "Comrade has vision, this chair is made of old wattle strips, strong and durable, it has been stored for decades, it has a backrest to rely on, it is much more energetic than sitting in Maza, I have polished it several times, and brushed it twice ...... persimmon paint."

The introduction was very enthusiastic, and when he finally said the price, his tone was slightly hesitant, "Two dollars a handful." ”

After speaking, he quickly added, "This chair is too laborious, and it was made up when I was idle in winter." ”

Song Hongguo didn't think it was expensive, she rubbed the smooth rattan, felt the breath of natural plants, she couldn't put it down, what kind of chair is this, it is clearly a work of art, the preparation is too exquisite, an absolute old craftsman.

Restrained by joy and excitement, she asked, "What about the table?" ”

The table and chairs are of the same style, but the wood used for the tabletop, more than one meter long, seventy or eighty centimeters wide, slightly higher than the coffee table, with four chairs, there is a place to eat.

The other party said "five yuan", obviously less confident, after all, people in this year don't care about beauty at all, only pay attention to whether it is expensive or not, Jingtiao is not a rare thing, and the craftsmanship is not valuable, and it is even more inappropriate to spend time or something, but he just can't bear to sell it with his hard work.

He competed with himself, thinking that it would be a big deal to pull it back, who knows...... Joy descends from the sky.

"Four chairs, and this table, I want them."

The other party didn't dare to repeat confidently, "Four chairs, one table, you all want?" ”

Song Hongguo nodded, she didn't give money immediately, she went to pick out other things, grates made of sorghum stalks, steamers made of bamboo, steamed bun baskets made of corn husks, and round dustpans and long dustpans of various sizes.

These are all things that must be used to get by, so no matter how painful Ling Zhi is, he didn't stop it, and when he saw Song Hongguo, he didn't ask the price, he asked the half-old boy in a low voice, silently calculating the account in his heart.

Sun Shuhong helped her pick it out, and said, "It's all the same thing, and the same way of making it up, why do people make it extraordinarily upright?" ”

Song Hongguo didn't speak yet, but the system sighed, "This is probably the difference between a craftsman and a master, a craftsman is life, and a master is art." ”

Song Hongguo, "......"

Is this still literary and artistic?

After all the things were selected, the final accounting, twenty-one and three cents, the set of tables and chairs accounted for thirteen yuan, and the other bits and pieces were very cheap, and the other party enthusiastically helped to move into the car, Zhao Zhenhua knew one of them, and said two words.

Only then did Song Hongguo know that the man who greeted her turned out to be the captain of the Xiangyang Brigade, named Sheng Zhongxin, he rarely followed him to the stall, and today was also a coincidence.

When I was about to leave, the system suddenly popped up again, "Host, the yard of the old house is so big, you just grow vegetables and flowers?" ”

"Didn't you buy chickens and geese?"

“…… Fruit trees, you can also plant fruit trees, especially outside the courtyard wall, the land is idle, a circle of fruit trees is planted around, and when it comes to autumn, it is fruitful, you imagine it, is it beautiful? ”

Song Hongguo was moved, a few years ago, when the steel was smelted, in addition to handing in the iron products at home, the team also cut down a lot of trees, and there was a lot of space around the old house.

And the current policy seems to encourage everyone to use the front house and the back of the house to grow things, as long as they are not sold.

So, she went to ask Sheng Zhongxin again, "Do you have many fruit trees in the mountains?" ”

Sheng Zhongxin had also heard from Zhao Zhenhua's mouth that she was from the Tomato Brigade and worked in the aluminum factory hospital, and he couldn't help but feel a little respectful when he talked to her again, "There are a lot of fruit trees, what do you want?" ”

Song Hongguo thought about it, now there are persimmon trees, pomegranate trees in the front yard, jujube trees, peach trees and apricot trees in the backyard, and there is an old pear tree outside the wall. "Do you have apple trees?"

"Yes, the trees are three or five years old, seven or eight years old, and they can bear fruit in the same year."

"What breed?"

"Guoguang, there is also a kind of Marshal Huang, cover it, sweet and noodles, children like to eat it the most, Guoguang is a little sour, but it is crispy, and there is a good bite."

"Where's the hawthorn tree?"

"Yes, that one is more sour than Guoguang."

Song Hongguo sighed in his heart when he heard this, people in these years are really too simple, who doesn't sell things to praise the advantages and avoid the shortcomings? Take a look at the ......

The more honest people are, the more she wants to buy them, probably this is a kind of routine.

"Are there any grapes?"

Sheng Zhongxin paused before he said, "...... Yes, the years are not short, how many do you want? ”

"You have to be able to afford a shelf, right? Ten? ”

Sheng Zhongxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "There are ten trees, what are you still rare to eat?" ”

"What rare fruit trees do you have in the mountains?" Song Hongguo asked rhetorically.

"Pear trees, pomegranates, persimmons, jujube trees, peaches, apricots, ,......"

Song Hongguo shook his head, "It's all planted in my yard, is there anything else?" ”

"Cherries, figs, do you have them at home?"

Song Hongguo's eyes lit up, "Do you still have cherries in the mountains?" That's nice! ”

In her previous life, her three favorite fruits, in addition to watermelon and pineapple, were cherries.

Sheng Zhongxin smiled implicitly, "There is everything in the mountains, and there is a kind of fruit tree, called papaya, it doesn't taste good, but it smells fragrant, put one in the house, it can be fragrant for several months." ”

Song Hongguo became more and more excited when she heard this, she knew what he said about this papaya, which was different from the one in the south, this kind of papaya was called bare-skinned papaya, which was planted in large quantities in some places in later generations, mainly used to extract some ingredients in papaya to make flavors, and it can also be made into papaya wine, which has a certain health care effect.

She just wanted to smell it.

The two chatted for a while, and finally decided on the type and quantity of fruit trees, and in terms of price, Sheng Zhongxin gave it very realistically, after all, it was all things from the mountains, and he asked her for a total of ten yuan, and he was also responsible for helping her transport it to her home and then plant it.

made an appointment, and Song Hongguo returned satisfied.
